"Flag Master Song..."
Upon seeing Song Changming appear, Su Fengye suddenly remembered that the owner of this residence was indeed Song Changming.
Su Qingqing’s visit to the Song Residence today was undoubtedly related to Song Changming.
Judging from Song Changming’s attitude, he might also be in the know.
He knows Su Qingqing’s true identity!
Su Fengye’s mind raced, and he took a deep breath, asking, "Brother Song, could you enlighten me on what exactly is going on here?"
Hearing this, Song Changming glanced at Su Qingqing.
He was seeking Su Qingqing’s opinion.
Since Su Qingqing did not refuse, Song Changming did not hurry to send Su Fengye away.
"This is a long story..."
In consideration of the Treasure Saber Changshou gifted him back then, Song Changming recounted the story from finding Su Qingqing onward, explaining it to Su Fengye.
Of course, he wasn’t completely transparent; some of the details were glossed over with a single sentence, and others were disguised, mentioning only the key points.
After Song Changming finished speaking, Su Fengye remained silent for a long time.
Song Changming allowed him time to digest.
Su Qingqing, on the side, kept her lips pursed, also in complete silence.
A moment later, Song Changming asked directly, "Brother Su, let me ask you this: is your Changsheng Su Family truly able to accept Qingqing? Would it really be good for Qingqing to return with you?"
Su Fengye opened his mouth but eventually let out a long sigh of melancholy.
He indeed held some authority within the family, but ultimately, he was not the one in charge.
Even he himself often made decisions under the family’s pressure; could he guarantee that he could protect Su Qingqing this time...
"If Brother Su has doubts, then don’t force Qingqing any further. Qingqing has grown up, and if you truly want what’s best for her, please keep this matter a secret," Song Changming continued.
He deliberately said this much, hoping that Su Fengye would keep the secret to avoid any unnecessary trouble coming from the Su Family again.
"I understand." Su Fengye knew in his heart that Song Changming’s concerns were valid and correct.
With that, Su Fengye suddenly gave a deep bow to Song Changming, bowing all the way down!
With Su Fengye’s status, it was rare in his life to pay such a grand courtesy to anyone.
But this time, facing Song Changming who saved his daughter and raised her up, Su Fengye did not shy away and performed this salute.
"Brother Su, there’s no need for this." Song Changming helped him up.
He didn’t actually have a poor impression of Su Fengye; the latter was quite amiable in his dealings, kind, and grateful, more graceful than many noble family scions.
But when it came to his wife and daughter, he was excessively cowardly, which Song couldn’t stand.
Of course, he himself was neither a noble family scion nor grew up in such an environment, so he couldn’t fully understand Su Fengye’s position and feelings.
From an observer’s point of view, Su Fengye acted too poorly, completely swayed by his family, doing nothing.
People are complex.
Su Fengye might make a good friend or confidant, but he was certainly not a qualified father or husband.
"Brother Song, might I have a word with you privately?" Su Fengye stood up and suddenly asked.
Song Changming casually removed his heavy Banner Lord Armor and handed it to A Da, then walked into the inner room with Su Fengye.
Su Fengye didn’t waste words, directly taking out a small square box and handing it to Song Changming.
"This is the Earth Core Fire Liquid from Yan Province. It can aid you in opening the Heavenly Martial Meridian, accelerating the condensation of Innate Qi Aura. Please consider this a gift of gratitude for saving my daughter, and I must insist you accept it."
"Earth Core Fire Liquid..." Song Changming looked at the gem-like solid within the box, resembling a teardrop-shaped ruby.
He had never heard of such an item, but he could indeed sense the immense energy essence contained within.
If Su Fengye’s words were true, the item that could open a Heavenly Martial Meridian would undoubtedly be of immense value, a rare treasure indeed!
After all, many Martial Artists spend their entire lives unable to touch the Heavenly Martial Meridian.
Even with sufficient aptitude, cultivating a Heavenly Martial Meridian takes immense time and hardship.
It’s just to say, Su Fengye’s gift, like the previous Treasure Saber Changshou, was filled with sincerity.
In fact, Song Changming still underestimated the value and utility of the Earth Core Fire Liquid.
This was a top-grade spiritual object; even Su Fengye had gone through great lengths to obtain such a small drop from Yan Province.
It was intended to aid in his breakthrough into the Grandmaster Realm!
This means that this Earth Core Fire Liquid is a precious treasure that can help a Martial Artist break through the Grandmaster Realm, not just open the Heavenly Martial Meridian.
Using it merely to open the Heavenly Martial Meridian is somewhat wasteful of its potential!
If this situation hadn’t occurred on his return, Su Fengye would have already taken this superior spiritual object for a Grandmaster Realm seclusion breakthrough.
How could he possibly bear to part with it and gift it to Song Changming otherwise?
This time, Su Fengye’s gift was even more substantial than what Song Changming expected.
"This is not only a gift of gratitude but also a hope that Brother Song can look after Qingqing as much as possible in the future. I am eternally grateful..."
Hearing this, Song Changming did not refuse and simply accepted the precious Earth Core Fire Liquid.
He had watched Qingqing grow up; they had already formed a deep bond, and even without the Earth Core Fire Liquid, he would take care of Qingqing, without needing Su Fengye to tell him.
"Additionally..." Su Fengye continued as he presented a Heaven and Earth Ring, also handing it to Song Changming.
The Heaven and Earth Ring contained heaps of various cultivation resources and Spirit Crystals without Song Changming checking its contents, he could hardly estimate the full extent of what Su Fengye had given.
