Chapter 44: Regrets from Past Life

The Su Clan!

There is no other clan in the entire empire that could call out “Su” with such pride.

Su Clan, the clan most known for its medicines.

“Su Clan!”

The Zhao Clan’s servants and Qin An froze in place upon hearing the name.

No one dared to act rashly.

The Su Clan was one of the top three most powerful clans in the empire, more powerful than the Lin Clan.

Many clans, armies, and individual cultivators all bought medicines from the Su Clan.

In addition to raising alchemists, the Su Clan also had powerful cultivators protecting as well.

Qin An knew very well that the Zhao Clan would not be willing to provoke the Su Clan.

The Yu Clan won’t either, as the Su Clan was their major source of income.

The spiritual herbs that the Yu Clan produced were mostly supplied to the Su Clan. Only after doing so, their hard work could be turned into spiritual stones.

After all, the Yu Clan could only produce the materials and didn’t have an alchemist of their own.

Without an alchemist, the value of these herbs would be greatly decreased.

Simply put: the Su Clan was the Yu Clan’s supporting pillar!

With such a relationship, Yu Yuan had no choice but to give up that white paper fan. After all, it was not worth a conflict.

Qin An quietly signaled the servants to slowly back off.

In fact, even if he didn’t they would have done so regardless.

“Can I keep it?”

Su Yan asked again, looking at Yu Yuan indifferently.

She was very polite. Unlike other descendants from powerful clans, she was not aggressive but persuasive.

The old woman had a playful look in her eyes, watching this as if it was a drama.

Master Yu? In front of her lady and the Su Clan, that Yu guy was nothing!

“What a pretty young girl,” Yu Yuan came back to his senses and said in awe. “Not bad being able to see the mystery behind that white paper fan. Strange that you are able to do so at such a young age.”

He didn’t even mention the Su Clan, as if not knowing that the girl in front of him was the Su Clan leader’s daughter.

Su Yan’s eyes were as clear as a lake in a deep valley. She was also a little surprised. “You sensed it as well?”

In her mind she was thinking, saying that I’m young? How old are you?

She said again, “Please give this white paper fan to me. When I return, I’ll tell my uncle a few good things about your Yu Clan.”

At first, she thought that the young man in front of him came after her beauty.

Never had she thought that anyone in this remote city could realize the meanings behind this ordinary-looking fan.

This slightly changed her impression of the Yu Clan.

“I cannot let you take away the fan.” Yu Yuan said abruptly.

“What did you say?” Su Yan opened her eyes wide.

The good impression that she had a moment ago vanished in an instant.

“That’s it!” the old woman said sharply. “I heard enough from you bastard!”

“I said, leave this white paper fan.” Yu Yuan repeated.

Qin An and the other servants’ faces were pale from what he said. Why break up with the Su Clan for a white paper fan?

That young master from the Yu Clan must be crazy!

Why did he want the fan so badly?

They simply didn’t understand him.

The old woman roared, and a powerful wave of energy blew out from her sleeves.

“No need for that.” Su Yan frowned and stopped the old woman. “Since you want this so much, here you go.”

She threw the white paper fan on the ground and left.

The old woman stared at Yu Yuan fiercely, and said, “Boy! You will regret what you have done!”

“Really?” Yu Yuan said.

After she said that, the old woman hurriedly went out the door to follow the girl.

They soon disappeared out of sight.

“Master Yu, why?”

After they left, Qin An picked up the white paper fan and handed it to Yu Yuan. “It’s just a broken fan. The girl seems to be an important member of the clan, too.”

“Su Clan…”

Yu Yuan lifted the corners of his mouth and said, “The Yu Clan had been suppressed by the Huang Clan for so many years in the city. When has the Su Clan helped us? All they have done was useing our situation to lower the prices of the herbs so they can earn more profit.”

Qin An didn’t speak.

He had been in the city for many years and heard a lot about these two clans.

When the old man was beaten by the Huang Clan, the Su Clan certainly did not help with the situation.

And they even lowered the price of the herbs when the Yu Clan needed money the most.

But…

Who else could the Yu Clan sell their herbs to?

Except for the Su Clan, no one else in the entire empire could purchase such a large amount of herbs at a time.

“I’m going to take the fan then.”

Yu Yuan didn’t want to explain much to Qin An.

Standing in the empty street and holding that fan, Yu Yuan felt a rich, indelible sadness.

His mood was also affected by the fan.

Without realizing it, he was already immersed in his past memories.

“She was a bit like…”

Yu Yuan knew someone who looked just like her.

The similarities between her and the person in mind dazed Yu Yuan, making him remember some unpleasent things from a long time ago.

His past life, compared to true cultivators, was a short one.

But compared to mortals, it was a long one.

He had several romantic experiences but had also left many regrets. One of them made him regret life.

That relationship was a short one, but after it ended, it was a long one.

Its end was his biggest regret.

In his previous life, he struggled to seek the path of cultivation, to extend his life. It was also so that he could reunite with that person and stay with her a little longer.

Except his life came to an end, and her life was endless.

As a powerful cultivator, life was an eternity!

He chose to give up, unable to face the truth.

Because at one point, they would have to separate.

But he still longed for the slightest hope in his mind to live a little longer.

For this, he did not hesitate to study forbidden pills that brought shame to him and the sect.

He sought rebirth to meet her in this life.

He finally succeeded!

After three hundred years, he once again came to this world!

Now, he finally could embark on this long journey of cultivation.

In this life, he also had endless possibilities. He hoped that he could, just like her, live eternally!

“With your talent and resources, three hundred years is just a blink of an eye!”

Yu Yuan looked up, mind filled with sadness. He needed to quickly break through the boundary and reach the Dark Burst Realm, then the Yin God Realm and Yang God Realm.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, his palm was burning with pain, forcing him to drop the white paper fan in the ground.

The thoughts that he had faded away.

Looking at the trace of blood on the palm of his hand, Yu Yuan already knew what was going on.

“That girl from the Su Clan pretends to be so nice and polite but is actually vicious inside!”
