Chapter 635 - 635 Something's Wrong
635 Something’s Wrong
After obtaining the giant axe, he had tried to break the stone with the giant axe but failed.
This thing was so sturdy that one could tell at a glance that it was not of ordinary grade. However, if one could not use it, it would only be a stone.
The Qi family had been studying it for so many years, but they had not come up with anything.
If he gave it to Su Xiaolu, there might be a surprise. If it was really something good, he believed that with Su Xiaolu’s personality, she would not forget the Qi family.!!
Qi Xingfeng picked out two excellent small daggers and gave them to Chen Shi and Chen Xing.
He gave a sword to Little Niu.
After lunch at the Qi residence, the Su family returned.
Old Wu and Gui You returned drunk. Before they left, Old Wu even took two pots of good wine from General Qi. Su Xiaolu had saved General Qi before, and he was Su Xiaolu’s master. Su Xiaolu did not need him to repay her, but he wanted to.
General Qi was happy and willing to give it away.
His Qi family only had such luck because they met the Su family. Now, his two grandsons were both calm and healthy. To him, this was his greatest wealth.
Good wine could be brewed after a long time, but good luck might not be encountered in this lifetime.
After personally seeing them out, the old general asked Qi Xingfeng, “Eldest grandson, what did Xiaolu choose?”
Qi Xingfeng told him about the stone Su Xiaolu had chosen. Su Xiaolu only took the stone with her.
General Qi waved his hand. “What’s so good about that lousy stone? Pick some more and send them over. See if there is any jewelry suitable for your aunt. There are also jewelry suitable for your eldest and second cousins-in-law. Pick them all out and give them to them. Your aunt is on good terms with that woman from the Chen family. The two of them have known each other for many years and are like biological sisters. Don’t forget.”
It was really too little to take those two items.
“It’s better to let your mother and your wife choose. You can just send them as a laborer later.”
General Qi clapped his hands. This arrangement was appropriate.
Mother Qi agreed with a smile and brought her daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuehan, to choose.
The closer the two families got, the happier she was.
Madam Zhao liked plain clothes, so she chose some plain and good things for her to use.
Sun Baoqian and Lin Yaoyao did not have many taboos. The brighter ones were suitable for Sun Baoqian and the more elegant ones were given to Lin Yaoyao.
“Yuehan, if you like it, choose some for yourself.”
Mother Qi naturally wouldn’t forget Zhang Yuehan.
Zhang Yuehan smiled gently. “Thank you, Grandma.”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled. Mother Qi was very gratified. She had not chosen the wrong person.
In the past, he had decided on Zhang Yuehan because she had a calm personality and hoped that she could calm her son down. Now that Qi Xingfeng’s personality had changed, he was even more compatible with Zhang Yuehan.
Both of them were respectable.

When Su Xiaolu returned home, she placed the big rock in her space and closed the door to study it.
The stone was grayish-white and sanded. It was a little abrupt in the Space. Mantis Shrimp crawled over and climbed onto the stone with a grunt. Then, it stretched out its tongue and kept licking it.
The stone was wet, and the color of the wet area was darker. Mantis Shrimp still wanted to bite it.
Su Xiaolu quickly took it away and said, “Mantis Shrimp, you don’t want your teeth anymore. If your teeth crack, you’ll cry.”
Su Xiaolu opened the Mantis Shrimp’s mouth. Its baby teeth were starting to show. The little guy had also reached the point where it didn’t know what was good for it. It had given her some herbs and now wanted to bite a big rock.
“Ahhh…”
With the back of its neck being twisted, Mantis Shrimp made a wronged sound, as if it understood.
It quieted down. Su Xiaolu put it back in the nest and it was obedient.
Su Xiaolu placed her hand on the stone and still sensed the function and information of the Interface Stone.
This thing could probably only be used to separate two worlds. Other than that, it had no other use.
It seemed to be from Changzhou, where there was also a fog.
The Interface Stone was damaged and the two worlds fused. Didn’t this mean that somewhere in Changzhou, there was a place where the two worlds were connected? For some reason, it was damaged, so the two worlds fused.
They knew too little about the other world.
After some time, she might be able to go to Changzhou to take a look as her first stop this year.
Su Xiaolu left the Space.
In the next few days, Su Xiaolu practiced sword techniques with Su Chong.
There was also superpower training.
On the seventh day of the New Year, Su Hua and Su Chong started to resume court sessions.
The two brothers went out together. It was still dark outside. On the way, Su Hua said, “There’s no movement from the Yan family this year.”
Su Chong pondered for a moment and said, “Something’s not right.”
Yan Qingyun had interacted with them before, so he shouldn’t suddenly stop.
However, the two brothers didn’t like the Yan family to begin with. If Yan Qingyun didn’t take the initiative to contact them, they wouldn’t either. It was better if Yan Qingyun didn’t want to contact them.
“You don’t think it’s that simple?”
Su Chong looked at Su Hua and asked.
Su Hua nodded. “Perhaps I’m thinking too much. He’s a sly old fox. Let’s go to court and take a look first.”
Su Hua wasn’t interested in Yan Qingyun’s tricks as long as he didn’t scheme against them.
After court, Su Hua and Su Chong noticed that Yan Qingyun did not come.
The emperor, Zhou Zhao, also noticed it and specially asked.
Yan Zhiyuan went up to report that Yan Qingyun had fallen ill and was going to take leave to recuperate at home for a while.
With Yan Qingyun’s current situation, he could not last for more than two days.
Since the minister was sick, Zhou Zhao had to comfort him. He gave him some good medicine and told Yan Zhiyuan to take good care of him.
Discussions began in the court. It was mostly about the places which had strange phenomena that required some elite soldiers to set up defenses.
After the court session ended, Su Chong and Su Hua went home together. After getting into the carriage, Su Hua said solemnly, “Brother, something’s wrong with Yan Zhiyuan.”
Su Chong was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
He couldn’t tell.
Su Hua explained, “He told some lies. Maybe Yan Qingyun really did get sick, but it’s definitely not that light. Today, Yan Zhiyuan even straightened his back a little when he spoke. This is too different from the past. It’s as if the mountain that was pressing down on him is gone, and he has made a comeback.”
No matter how careful Yan Zhiyuan was, some slight emotions still betrayed him.
Su Hua had always been meticulous. When Su Chong heard him say this, he thought about it and agreed. He said, “Then is Yan Qingyun gone already?”
Su Hua shook his head. “I’m not sure about that. Let’s go home first and tell Father and Mother. Logically speaking, our mother should have the right to know if something happened to Yan Qingyun. If she wants to go and take a look, let’s go together.”
Su Chong nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
When the two brothers returned home, they called Su Xiaolu and went to look for Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao saw that the three children were all here. They sat down and listened. Their expressions were calm. Su Chong scratched his head and said, “Father, mother, you already knew?”
