Chapter 709: Caught in a Dilemma

These words were like a fire crystal thunder. When thrown out, they immediately shocked everyone. Especially those young people from all parties who came to participate in the selection this time were particularly shocked by these words.

These evil people were originally talents specially cultivated by various forces. Not only did they have a special status in the family, but also because of their attainments in alchemy, they had unlimited potential in the future.

For these people, women were mostly just a kind of foil around them. Women who could enter their eyes could not be described as rare. But now Su Lan's words ignited their enthusiasm instantly, and their eyes immediately became hot.

The status of the Su family in the Xuanwu Empire is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary families. It is one of the important families that support the entire empire. Not to mention that these second-rate, or third- and fourth-rate families value it very much. Even the seventh son of the painter also flashed a trace of desire in his eyes.

Although the painter is also one of the several super families in Xuanwu, after all, it is difficult for the seventh son to become the heir of the family, so he can only be regarded as having some power and status in the family. But once he marries Su Yan, a completely different status will be waiting for him.

Being able to marry Su Yan means getting the support of the Su family from another perspective. At that time, he will not only have power and influence among painters, but also be qualified to fight for the position of the head of the family that he has no chance of.

The light in Hua Qi's eyes was very warm, but after a moment, he seemed to wake up. After quietly sweeping his eyes over the silent Yao Zhen, he withdrew his eyes with some fear. In this hall, except for those old guys, only Hua Qi and Zuo Feng did not pay too much attention to Su Yan.

Those other young men were already rubbing their hands in anticipation at this time. It seemed that if they had no concerns, they would pounce on Su Yan like hungry wolves and take possession of her first. Of course, although these people thought so in their hearts, they were desperately making some moves on the surface to attract Su Yan's attention.

After Su Yan heard Su Lan's words, she felt a little angry, and then saw the various appearances of these people in front of her, and the disgust in her eyes flashed away. If Su Lan had not been there, she would probably have left immediately.

Su Lan's expression did not change, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. He loved Su Yan very much, so he also hoped to worry about Su Yan's future, especially after Zuo Feng appeared, he was even more eager to make today's drama.

As early as a year ago, when Yao Zhen visited the Su family, he had already shown a very obvious admiration for Su Yan when he saw Su Yan for the first time. This is almost known to everyone in the Su family, but Su Yan is not very clear about it. She just knows that this Yao Zi with a special identity is particularly good to her.

But in Su Yan's heart, Yao Zhen is more like a brother. The family maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards this, hoping that the relationship between the two of them can develop freely, but this attitude is actually a kind of support.

With Yao Zhen's identity and status, it is of course the best choice to match Su Yan. At least it can make the Su family's influence in the empire a step higher, so that it can suppress other families. Su Lan certainly understands this, and as an important figure in the Su family, he must obey the decision of the head of the family.

But he also had another idea in his mind, that is, the outstanding talents present, or Su Xiao whom he had just met today. Although these people's status is not as good as Yao Zhen, if they can be with Su Yan, then perhaps with the status of the Su family, if Su Yan marries one of these people, she will be more respected in her husband's family.

After this kind of mutual comparison and weighing, although Su Lan agreed to the relationship between Yao Zhen and Su Yan on the surface, she was slightly inclined to another choice in her heart. He was originally prepared not to interfere, but to give the decision to Su Yan in the end, after all, he also respected Su Yan's decision.

However, the appearance of Zuo Feng made him immediately overturn his original plan, and soon after arriving in Linshan County City, he immediately thought of this way to decide Su Yan's life. He also knew that Su Yan would be very angry if he did this, but he thought it was the best for Su Yan.

Although many things happened in Linshan County City yesterday, Su Lan still decided to make such a play at this time. It is said to be a play, but in fact it is a plan that Su Lan has been brewing for a long time, and Linshan County City at this time also meets his requirements.

He was forced to carry out this plan in such a hurry, after all, the day of the selection of medicine boys would be in two days. He couldn't do it the day before the selection of medicine boys, after all, the medicine boys of all parties had to make final adjustments before this important competition to achieve the best results.

After the selection, everything will be settled, and the people who appear at that time will be protected and taken to the empire. And the losers will most likely be taken away by various forces, so it is not suitable for the current plan at that time. That's why everyone was hurriedly gathered here after the chaos yesterday.

At first, Su Lan wanted to kick Zuo Feng out of this marriage selection directly, but in the end, because of Su Yan's strong opposition, he had no choice but to let Hua Qi deal with it. That's why Hua Qi sent someone to invite him before, and why he didn't cause unnecessary trouble at that time, and the people sent by Hua Qi were also very polite.

Zuo Feng didn't quite understand at the time, and his physical condition was special at the time, so he didn't have much energy to think about these things. Later, when he came to this villa, Hua Qi's attitude changed a lot. Only now did he vaguely understand something.

Su Lan smiled slightly, and her eyes swept through the crowd around her, and finally focused on Zuo Feng. The moment she saw Zuo Feng, his original smile immediately disappeared, replaced by a faint coldness.

This look was much more obvious than when she saw Zuo Feng last night, and of course it was mainly a warning. Su Lan was afraid of her plain face and respected her status so that she couldn't directly attack Zuo Feng, but he thought this warning was still necessary.

Zuo Feng had a calm face, and his eyes did not give in to Su Lan for a moment. Only the city lord and Yao Zhen clearly noticed the instant collision of their eyes, and Yao Zhen also had some other meanings in his eyes.

Regarding this young man of unknown origin, Su Lan had also revealed some things through his subordinates before, which made Yao Zhen pay attention to this young man. Originally, Yao Zhen didn't care much about Zuo Feng. After all, no matter his cultivation or alchemy, Zuo Feng couldn't make him take him seriously.

Yao Zhen had extremely strong confidence in alchemy. Not to mention a young man under 20 years old, even those who were the same age or even much older could not make him take him seriously. In terms of cultivation, Zuo Feng only had the strength of the initial stage of tendon tempering, which also couldn't make Yao Zhen feel any threat.

However, the situation when they just met made Yao Zhen's original thoughts change a little. This young man could directly resist his mental pressure, which was puzzling in itself. Later, Zuo Feng didn't know how to suppress the contestants around him, which surprised Yao Zhen even more.

So when he found Su Lan's attitude towards Zuo Feng, Yao Zhen also glanced at Zuo Feng coldly.

The city lord smiled at this time, which was very intriguing and made people feel a little confused about his true thoughts.

The city lord surnamed You seemed to be not very clear about what happened tonight, but with the mentality he had cultivated over the years in a high position, he had already analyzed some of the flavors through various clues at this time.

It’s just that the attitude of the city lord surnamed You is very worthy of Zuo Feng’s attention, because although he only understood the whole story now, he was not angry because he was kept in the dark, but seemed very interested. No one cared about his performance. Only Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, and then returned to his usual calmness.

Su Lan smiled again and said slowly: "Since everyone present today is the person our Su family cares about, of course everyone has the qualification to compete. Of course, I guess you all have your own ideas, but I only have one request."

At this time, Su Lan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her expression suddenly became extremely serious. There was an unquestionable taste in her voice and she said: "That is to treat Su Yan wholeheartedly, and never let Su Yan suffer any grievances. This is the bottom line of our Su family."

This last sentence was sonorous and powerful, like thunder directly hitting everyone's heart. With Su Lan's cultivation, coupled with this special way of speaking, people have an illusion that if he violates what he just said, this Marshal Su Lan will kill him without hesitation.

Zuo Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that when these words were spoken, his mind was slightly shaken. This feeling seemed to have some kind of power that could go straight into people's hearts and achieve the purpose of spiritual transmission of thoughts.

Although Su Lan just used his extraordinary cultivation and momentum, combined with his unique voice and tone to perform, it was able to achieve the purpose of vision to a certain extent with superior mental power. Just having this ability makes people have to admire the extraordinary ability.

"Next, if anyone can't do what I ask, or is not interested in the Su family's marriage, they can leave this hall on their own."

Su Lan's words rang again, and some of the people who had calmed down a little because of his words before were now hesitant. At the moment, Zuo Feng was a little hesitant, because this was obviously a muddy water, and there was really no need for him to get mixed up in it. But if he just left here, he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to experience this villa and his special experience. He was in a dilemma at this moment.
