Chapter 119 : Chapter 119

Chapter 119. You Want Me to Go to the Military District Internship? Fine, I’ll Go. Slacking Off Is Slacking Off Wherever You Are.

A marriage!

Su Zhan's words immediately set off a wave of hushed discussion among the various major families.

Shen Qingyue was also taken aback. She had not expected Su Zhan to bring this up in front of all the major families.

Previously, Su Zhan had always kept silent about the marriage between the two of them.

It seemed that Xiao Chen's changes had left him very satisfied as well.

A smile immediately appeared on Shen Qingyue's face. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Xiao Chen and Linyu are about to begin their Military District Internship. Once they return from it, we will immediately make arrangements for the children's wedding."

Back when the Jiang family was in trouble, Su Zhan had chosen not to help and had even wanted to ally with the Zhou family.

But he had once saved her husband's life, and she truly liked Linyu as a child.

So she did not oppose this marriage.

"Good." Su Zhan's expression relaxed, and his tone grew lighter as well. "Then it is settled."

Naturally, they had heard some rumors about this year's Military District Internship. It would be stricter than in previous years, requiring every martial artist graduating from a martial university to participate.

Now there were only five or six days left before the Military District Internship began, so there truly was not enough time to prepare their wedding.

"Patriarch Su, congratulations. Yichen and Linyu are a perfect match, both in talent and appearance."

"Exactly, exactly. Their talent and ability are both so high. Maybe they will even become Martial Gods in the future."

"When the two children's wedding comes around, I will definitely be there to show my support."

"..."

The people from the various major families all began exchanging polite social pleasantries, though their eyes were filled with unmistakable envy.

Who would not want to curry favor with the Jiang family now?

Being able to join them by marriage was like having a pie drop from heaven.

Su Zhan simply smiled and nodded.

That scene only made Zhou Mingyuan's expression darken even further.

His attempt to win over the Su family had failed, and his effort to make Jiang Feng the Heir had also failed.

In the end, he had only brought the Su and Jiang families even closer together. It was the very definition of trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice used to lure it.

Zhou Mingyuan rose directly to his feet. As he passed Jiang Dongnian's seat, he let out an irritated cold snort and left the VIP section.

Jiang Dongnian felt helpless too. Who could have guessed that Spark Team had a genius who had comprehended Laws?

How was anyone supposed to foresee that?

Now Feng'er's position as Heir was gone, and after the Military District Internship, the Jiang and Su families were even going to join by marriage...

Hm? Wait.

The Military District Internship!

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Dongnian. If Jiang Yichen failed to return from the Military District Internship, then would Feng'er not become the Heir?

And Zhou family's eldest young master held a fairly significant post in the military district. If Zhou Mingyuan made contact and arranged something for Jiang Yichen, then Jiang Yichen could die in the claws of demonic beasts without anyone knowing...

A slow smile crept across Jiang Dongnian's lips. His cold gaze swept over Shen Qingyue before he slowly rose and went after Zhou Mingyuan.

As time passed, the award ceremony also came to an end.

Shen Qingyue, Su Zhan, and the others entered Spark Team's lounge.

"Xiao Chen, you really made your mother proud."

Shen Qingyue stepped forward and stroked Jiang Yichen's head, overjoyed in her heart.

Sensing the pride in his mother's expression, Jiang Yichen felt a wave of emotion.

In his previous life, he had never done anything that made his parents proud. Instead, he had only disappointed them again and again.

Now, the Spark Team winning the championship finally counted as one such thing.

"Auntie, Brother Yichen will not disappoint you. He will only get better and better." Su Linyu gave a sweet smile and chimed in for him.

Shen Qingyue pinched Su Linyu's nose lightly. "I know. There is another piece of good news for you two."

Su Linyu looked curious. "What good news?"

"Once you and Yichen finish your Military District Internship, we will begin preparing for your wedding," Su Zhan said slowly.

The moment those words came out, Su Linyu's bright watery eyes widened, filled to the brim with delight.

"R-Really, Dad? I'm going to marry Brother Yichen? Can I really?" she babbled excitedly.

Shen Qingyue smiled faintly. "Of course. You are Xiao Chen's fiancée."

"Auntie, I... I..." Su Linyu was so excited that she could not even speak, her face overflowing with happiness.

Ahhh! Is the dream really about to enter reality? This is simply wonderful.

Right, if I am going to marry Brother Yichen, should I buy a villa in advance as our future marital home and little family nest?

I also need to arrange the wedding banquet and the wedding cars properly so Brother Yichen will be satisfied.

And also, since Brother Yichen is willing to marry me, I cannot show any sincerity. I need to ask Dad for a larger dowry to help me manage our little household in the future.

And later, I will have children for Brother Yichen and take care of them...

In only a few brief moments, Su Linyu had already begun fantasizing about her future married life.

Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly. The moment he saw her blank expression, he knew she had started imagining things again.

But this time, he did not interrupt her. This was something well worth being happy about.

"You brat, you'd better treat Linyu well from now on, or your mother will be the first to deal with you."

"I know, I know. Do not worry, Mom."

Shen Qingyue folded her arms and tapped her forehead. "Good. As long as you know."

"Oh right, Mom, can I skip the Military District Internship?" Jiang Yichen asked.

He had gone through the hardships of the military district in his previous life, and he truly did not want to go again.

How could the military district compare to lying around comfortably at home?

Shen Qingyue frowned slightly. "Why don't you want to go?"

"Um... I can't endure hardship."

Shen Qingyue's smile slowly vanished. "No. You must go to this year's Military District Internship. Huaxia's upper echelons are supervising it very strictly."

"That is right. Yichen, this year's Military District Internship has placed the children of the great families on a key watch list. It is different from previous years," Su Zhan added.

Huh?

Jiang Yichen felt puzzled. It had not been like this in his previous life.

That brat Tang Long had not gone to the military district in his previous life. Instead, his father had arranged for him to manage the family's business.

So why had it changed in this life? Could his rebirth really have caused a chain reaction?

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yichen looked at his mother. "Mom, is there really no other way?"

"No. You must go."

"Mom, can you not—"

Shen Qingyue's brows drew together. "I am counting to three!"

"I'll go, I'll go." Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly.

Only then did Shen Qingyue nod slightly. She rolled her eyes at her son. "The Military District Internship can also temper you and pave the way for your future martial path. If you cannot even endure this much hardship, what kind of man are you?"

But in her heart, she knew that was not the main issue.

She did not want her child to suffer in the military district either, but if Xiao Chen alone did not go, there would be no way to explain it to Huaxia's upper echelons, and the media would also seize the chance to pin all kinds of labels on him.

"Brother Yichen, it is fine. As long as I am there, I will not let you suffer."

Su Linyu snapped out of her fantasy, hugged Jiang Yichen's arm, and said with a sweet smile, "If there is hardship, I will bear it for you."

"..."

Jiang Yichen's mouth twitched. Fondly, he pinched Su Linyu's soft little cheek.

He also understood his mother's concern. If he did not go, Huaxia's upper echelons would definitely use it as ammunition against the Jiang family.

Fine, then. At worst, he would just keep slacking off in a different place. He could treat it as a trip to the military border to relax and take in the scenery there.

That actually did not sound too bad.
