After staying in the restaurant for more than half a day, just after noon, the waiter told Su Chen that someone was looking for him.
After I got ready and went downstairs, Qiu Xiyu was waiting for me in the restaurant lobby.
She stood tall and graceful, with her hands behind her back and a faint smile on her face.
People passing by, both men and women, couldn't help but look at her.
Most people are pretty self-aware.
A woman with the temperament of Qiu Xiyu is not someone they can easily touch.
After taking a look or two, most people would tactfully look away.
"Brother Su~"
Seeing Su Chen, Qiu Xiyu spoke first to greet him.
When the people around heard Qiu Xiyu speak, they all looked in the direction of her eyes.
Seeing Su Chen's appearance, everyone seemed to stop gossiping.
It seems that Su Chen's appearance should be acceptable.
So there is less gossip behind the back.
If Su Chen's temperament was a little worse, he would be like a beautiful woman who is afraid of clinging to men or a toad eating swan meat.
This kind of gossip should come straight at you.
"I'm sorry to trouble Junior Sister Qiu. There must be a lot going on at the front line right now.
Actually, I can just reply to the letter and go to the front line myself."
Hearing Su Chen's words, Qiu Xiyu shook her head seriously.
“The last time Senior Brother Su came to visit our Qiu family, we failed to entertain him well.
We can't be rude again this time.
Once is an accident, but if it happens twice, not to mention Senior Brother Su, I will think too much."
Qiu Xiyu's explanation made Su Chen feel helpless.
She seemed to have determined that she was angry last time because she was angry at them for testing her.
But in fact, he just didn't want to spend too much time on this because Qiu Ruoshuang was not around.
This caused a misunderstanding that is difficult to explain.
"Brother Su, do you want to rest in Xieyun City for a while?
After going to the front line, the environment was quite bad.
How about we set off after dinner?"
Qiu Xiyu found an excuse, actually she wanted to take a walk with Su Chen in Xieyun City.
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately smiled and waved his hand.
"Junior Sister Qiu, you look down on me a little.
I grew up in a poor family. All the sufferings in Jin State are considered very good treatment for me.
The affairs on the front line are tense, and it would be even more inappropriate if they were delayed because of me.
Let's set off as soon as possible.
If you really want to rest, wait until things on the front line slow down."
Su Chen also heard about it in Xieyun City.
There are many troubles on the defense line at present, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.
If you want to rest, now is not the time.
After hearing this, Qiu Xiyu no longer insisted.
The two went to the front line together and talked a lot on the way.
Through Qiu Xiyu's explanation, Su Chen discovered that what he had heard from others before was not quite appropriate.
There is actually no shortage of manpower on the front line.
It’s just that it’s difficult to withdraw manpower, and it’s a headache to keep wasting time there.
Now the Qiu family has arranged for a formation master to come here in order to ease the consumption of manpower on the front line.
It has been consuming more than ten powerful people in the state of transformation, and the cost is too huge.
The Qiu family’s current hope is to rely on the help of formation masters to reduce manpower consumption by half.
For now, human resources can actually hold on.
Until the defense formation is fully deployed and landed, the situation on the front line will remain stable.
The two talked as they walked, and Qiu Xiyu told them a lot of stories.
The majority of the content is naturally related to the current formation.
Especially this time, the defensive formation deployment concept chosen by the Qiu family was the same one that Su Chen had talked about with Qiu Xiyu before.
The formation is no longer just for defense as before, but to severely damage the monsters that attack.
We must make those powerful monsters afraid and timid.
Su Chen naturally agreed with these.
These things are the experiences Su Chen gained from personal experience and fighting with monsters over the years.
From Yunyang Sect to Tiangang City, Su Chen has experienced a lot.
I know too much about the habits of those monsters.
If you want to completely stop the monsters, building a towering, indestructible wall may be able to achieve this goal.
However, even a powerful state like Jin did not have such manpower and material resources.
It is impossible to completely block it with a defensive formation.
Su Chen believed that the strength of his formation was quite good, but it was hard to say that the formation he had set up would always be problem-free.
And those celestial demons will make other small and big demons risk their lives to try.
As long as there is a gap, all other defensive formations will become meaningless.
"Junior Sister Qiu, is your aunt also patrolling near the front line now?"
In the midst of various casual chats, Su Chen finally found an opportunity to ask about Qiu Ruoshuang's situation.
The main reason I came to this place was that I heard Qiu Ruoshuang was there too.
Qiu Xiyu also gave a deadline, to arrive before the end of May.
I came here according to this time limit.
Logically speaking, I should be able to see Qiu Ruoshuang.
But things are complicated nowadays, and if something unexpected happens, it would be hard to say what will happen.
Su Chen also had an idea in his mind.
The situation on the front line of defense changes rapidly and nothing can be predicted accurately.
This is why Su Chen couldn't help but want to ask further.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Qiu Xiyu on the side couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Su, you are so persistent about my aunt, I can't help but think too much~"
After hearing Qiu Xiyu's reply, Su Chen showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
When you have some thoughts in your mind and then someone says something right, this is how people react.
But Qiu Xiyu obviously didn't think in this direction.
She was just joking.
"Brother Su, don't worry this time, my aunt is also on the front line this time.
She has been quite busy recently, and she will meet with you, Brother Su, in a few days.
When you see my aunt, don’t be shy~"
Hearing this answer, Su Chen felt slightly satisfied.
This trip was not in vain.
After walking for more than half a day, the two finally reached the front line.
After arriving at the front line, neither of them took any action immediately.
We also need to register and record the position.
Only after the tasks are arranged can you officially start working.
Su Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just followed the rules and regulations.
This is my first time at their frontier position, and I don’t know what they need to be wary of or pay attention to here, so I just have to obey the rules.
Qiu Xiyu took himself for a walk around here.
The area for communication is relatively small.
This is mainly due to Qiu Xiyu's identity.
Although she was a member of the Qiu family, she came here as a formation master.
In order to protect the safety of the formation master, Qiu Xiyu can only move freely in a small area.
On the front line, the authority is also very low.
That night, Su Chen moved directly into the camp tent.
It is easy to find a place to live here. Even if there is none, you can just build one.
After Su Chen arrived here, he didn't feel any discomfort and everything was normal.
But the others in the camp seemed to have a lot to night passed.
On the battlefield, night is a critical time.
Whatever they want to discuss, they will do it during the day.
The same naturally applies to Su Chen's matter.
If there is anything, let's wait until dawn to discuss it.
At three quarters past noon, the sky was already bright.
Qiu Xiyu was called over by his father Qiu Xingchuan.
In the tent, there was also her teacher, Mr. Ding, who had guided her since she was a child.
The concept of arranging the formation for the front-line defense has changed this time, so most of the people in the Qiu family who study formations have come.
Everyone wants to see how the formation will be arranged.
And what will happen to the situation after this change?
"I heard from the people below that after this young friend Su came to the position, he didn't show any displeasure and his attitude was pretty good?"
Qiu Xingchuan's words made Qiu Xiyu feel a little uncomfortable.
She knew her father very well.
Every time you say something like this, you're trying to cause trouble.
“This is because Senior Brother Su has a good temper. Dad, you were rude last time, but it was all true.
Others not remembering this is because they are generous, but it is not a reason for you to do whatever you want, Daddy."
Qiu Xiyu's words made Old Ding beside her couldn't help laughing.
"We were caught by Xiyu before we even opened our mouths to think about what we were thinking.
We don’t know what to say.”
Qiu Xingchuan on the side was obviously much more shameless.
Although it was guessed in advance, he looked serious and was still ready to speak out his thoughts.
“On the front line of defense, there is a great demand for formation masters.
There is a greater demand for formation masters with extraordinary strength.
Xiyu, my idea is to ask Su Xiaoyou for help this time to deal with the formation problem on the defense line together.
This time most of the formation masters of the Qiu family are here, and everyone can communicate and chat better.
It’s a good thing for both him and us.”
After hearing what her father said, Qiu Xiyu pouted and looked at her father.
"Dad, what you mean by this is that you want to test Senior Brother Su again, right?
You already caused trouble last time, Daddy, can't you just calm down for a while?
I saw Brother Su's abilities and skills last time, so why are you doing all this?"
There was dissatisfaction on Qiu Xiyu's face. She was a good girl, but she was a little angry today.
Qiu Xingchuan also had a helpless look on his face.
My daughter has always been very obedient.
I almost never object to the opinions of the elders in my family, and are always willing to give suggestions.
But today, Qiu Xiyu's attitude was a bit tough.
Qiu Xingchuan shook his head, but he actually had an idea of the result in his mind.
I guessed in advance that my daughter would have such a big reaction.
I also thought about my response in advance.
"Xiyu, Daddy and Elder Ding are not the kind of people who make trouble without reason.
It's just that this matter is about you and concerns your lifelong happiness.
We elders still want to be on the safe side and confirm it one more time.
Your father, I am here to make you a promise.
This was the last test for him.
As long as he passes this test, our family will accept and identify with him.
From now on he is our brother-in-law and we should treat him as our own.
I will never mention any assessment or test again."
These words seemed to suppress Qiu Xiyu's resentment in an instant.
The sadness on his face quickly disappeared.
After the sad expression disappeared, a hint of shyness seemed to emerge.
"Dad, what are you talking about? What uncle?
Senior Brother Su and I are just good friends, and we don’t have those thoughts.”
Qiu Xingchuan did not take his daughter's explanation seriously and simply waved his hand.
“I, Qiu Xingchuan, still have confidence in my daughter.
In such a big country like Jin, it would be hard to find a man who doesn't want to be my son-in-law.
We all recognized him, how could he be unwilling?"
Qiu Xingchuan said this and didn't say anything more.
I asked Qiu Xiyu to come here today just to tell her about it in advance, so that we can talk about it in advance.
This is to avoid the situation where she would be unhappy and difficult to coax when she finds out that Su Chen is being tested again.
As for the method of this test, Qiu Xiyu did not ask further.
But you can almost guess it.
Most likely it's just a matter of borrowing the defense formation this time.
Su Chen did a good job, not only proving himself but also completing the test.
At the same time, it is also to gain prestige for Qiu Xingchuan and his lineage.
The son-in-law of their lineage is so young, but his formation skills are so extraordinary.
Then in the future, the Qiu family and even many forces that are related to the Qiu family.
All matters related to the formation will be controlled by them.
Of course, if Su Chen performs poorly, he might even be found to be just in name only.
That would be a good opportunity to catch the liar Su Chen and prevent him from dragging down his daughter.
Qiu Xingchuan thought all of this through.
Another test, it is completely beneficial to them with no harm at all.
The only possible problem is that Su Chen will get angry.
Qiu Xingchuan was not too worried about this.
Qiu Xingchuan believed that Su Chen had a clear idea of the strength of the Qiu family.
Even if I'm angry, even if I'm unhappy.
In the end, you will realize that you have to swallow all the unhappiness.
After explaining things to his daughter, Qiu Xingchuan went to make arrangements.
Naturally, Su Chen and Qiu Xiyu would have to rest in the camp area for another day.
Noon passed.
Qiu Ruoshuang had just finished her work and returned to her tent.
The tent where she lived was located at the outermost edge of the position.
As a warrior in Guiyuan Realm, he is the most powerful warrior in the current position.
It is normal that Qiu Ruoshuang’s tent is placed at the outermost area.
Where she is, those monsters with all kinds of thoughts will be much more obedient.
The pressure from a powerful Guiyuan Realm master is enough to keep the celestial demon away.
With her in charge of the periphery, everyone else will feel much more relaxed.
In the tent, Qing Yuan came here to report some situations to Qiu Ruoshuang.
After about half a minute, Qingyuan had almost finished saying everything he wanted to say.
She now reports to Qiu Ruoshuang every day. With such short intervals, the content of the reports naturally won't be very long.
After finishing talking about the relevant important matters, Qingyuan mentioned Qiu Xiyu.
"It is said that Miss Xiyu's Senior Brother Su arrived last night.
It will probably take some time before Second Master Xingchuan will invite you, Sister Shuang, to come over.
In the past few days, this Senior Brother Su seems to have been assigned to deal with matters related to the formation."
Hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiu Ruoshuang nodded slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Ruoshuang immediately asked.
"Qingyuan, have you met this Senior Brother Su?"
Hearing this, Qingyuan shook his head.
“I didn’t see him, but I heard he was quite handsome.
Now everyone has been pulled away to discuss the arrangement of the formation.
I wanted to meet him secretly, but I didn't have the chance." (End of this chapter)
