Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 531 - 278: Dust Settles, Family Changes [Subscribe Requested]

By the time Zhou Chun awoke, he was already within the Su Family Mountain’s gates.

He had always known that the Su Family had arranged for people to secretly follow and protect them, preventing any real threats to their lives.

However, unless Su Yuzhen could see through the emotional tribulation and the barrier of delusion, those people would not show themselves.

And when Su Yuzhen finally saw through the barrier, she naturally understood this point and directly called forth the people secretly following them to protect them, and they were brought back to the gates of Su Family Mountain.

So, after Zhou Chun regained consciousness, the seal on his body had also been lifted by the Ancestor of the Su Family, and his Mana cultivation level was restored.

At this moment, as he felt the unrestricted flow of Mana within his body, he understood what had happened without needing anyone else’s explanation.

He then swept the area with his Divine Sense and, indeed, discovered Su Yuzhen waiting outside.

"Taoist Friend Zhou, have you awoken? May I invite you out for a talk?"

Upon sensing Zhou Chun’s Divine Sense, Su Yuzhen quickly spoke up, wishing to invite him out.

Hearing her calm and unremarkable words, Zhou Chun immediately confirmed his speculation.

He responded somberly, "Taoist Friend Su, please wait a moment."

After speaking, he got up and tidied his appearance, carefully contemplated a few questions, and once he had the answers in his heart, he stepped out of the room with big strides.

Outside, he saw Su Yuzhen who had recovered her Purple Mansion Phase cultivation level and had returned to her usual attire, seated in the living room waiting for him.

Upon seeing him come out, Su Yuzhen politely inquired, "How is Taoist Friend Zhou’s recovery? Is there anything this servant can help you with?"

"Many thanks to Taoist Friend Su for the concern, but Zhou is no longer troubled and requires no further care from you," Zhou Chun said, waving his hand and responding politely.

This polite yet estranged tone silenced them both for a moment.

After all, in the past three years, the two had been very close, facing adversity together as cultivation partners.

For them to become so formally distant all of a sudden was odd and difficult to adjust to for anyone.

Nonetheless, there were things that had to be said.

After a period of silence, Zhou Chun took the initiative and said, "Since Taoist Friend Su is now well, Zhou’s task is considered complete. Having been away from home for three or four years now, there must be many matters that have accumulated, necessitating Zhou’s return to deal with them."

At his words, a flicker of emotion stirred in Su Yuzhen’s eyes, as if she had caught on to something. Stay updated with novelbuddy

Then, she quickly nodded and said earnestly, "I understand what Taoist Friend Zhou means. I will explain to the ancestor and ask for his permission for you to return home."

"Then I am much obliged to Taoist Friend Su," Zhou Chun expressed his gratitude with a cupped fist salute.

Then, the two once again fell into a silent impasse.

After an indeterminable period of silence, it was Su Yuzhen who chose to speak first.

She faced Zhou Chun with a look of gratitude and bowed, "No matter what, I must thank Taoist Friend Zhou for your company and care over these three years. Without you, I do not know how long I would have remained lost in delusion without regaining my senses."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun replied politely, "Taoist Friend Su overstates things. The ability to see through the barrier chiefly lies with your own talents; Zhou simply provided a bit of assistance."

Hearing his response, Su Yuzhen gently shook her head, looking at him with sincerity, "Taoist Friend Zhou, no need for modesty, I am not one to mix gratitude and grudges. The help you provided me is something I have always held close to my heart, and never forgotten."

"Of course, I am not saying this with any ulterior motive. I simply wish to tell Taoist Friend Zhou that regardless of what you think, should you ever need assistance in the future, just come to the Su Family and inform me. If I am able to help, I will not hesitate."

Having said this, she didn’t wait for Zhou Chun to say anything more and stood up, walking towards the door.

"Taoist Friend Zhou, please wait here for a moment. I will go and explain the situation to the ancestor," she said.

Watching Su Yuzhen’s departing figure, Zhou Chun’s expression was complicated as he clenched his fingers tightly.

Now, he wasn’t sure what exactly he felt for Su Yuzhen.

To say he liked her, he didn’t feel that kind of intense fondness—lacking that stirring sense of affection.

Yet, he no longer rejected her presence, not minding the addition of such a person by his side.

At the same time, he had come to recognize that there must be a problem with the Cultivation Technique Su Yuzhen practiced; his inability to control his desire to become intimate with her must stem from her technique.

However, for some reason, Zhou Chun had no intention of becoming cultivation partners with Su Yuzhen.

Or rather, the desire wasn’t strong; he didn’t really see a reason to do so.

Human emotions are indeed strange; often times what is optimal and seems most suitable isn’t necessarily what one would prefer.

What appears to be a perfect match in the eyes of others may not be seen the same way by the parties involved.

What others perceive as finicky, the person concerned might see in a completely different light.

If not, the world wouldn’t witness so many melodramatic yet genuinely occurring events.

Zhou Chun was skilled in warfare and managing family affairs, showing both bravery and strategy.

Yet, when it came to affairs between men and women, he indeed appeared less adept than the average person.

He himself didn’t realize that subconsciously, he was somewhat fearful of such matters, instinctively not wanting to become involved with them.

Su Yuzhen was quite efficient in her actions.

Zhou Chun didn’t have to wait long before the Ancestor of Su Family summoned him for another conversation.
