After the meeting, everyone went to have lunch.

Su Yuan himself came to the small courtyard where Zhen Miao lived and told her what he wanted to do next.

Zhenmiao was very happy for him.

"It's good if you have your own plan."

"Well, Master Tai, what are your plans next?"

Su Yuan definitely wanted Zhen Miao to stay, but he also felt that staying might not be a good thing for Zhen Miao.

Her practice relies on a pure heart and few desires, and on enlightenment in extreme tranquility.

For her, this bustling city is definitely not a good place for her to practice.

Zhen Miao said: "I previously planned to go to the Northern Cold Land to practice hard and seek opportunities for breakthrough. If I hadn't sensed you coming to me that day, I would have passed by now."

"The Land of Northern Cold? Is it...the frozen soil and ice field just north of Beirong?"

"Um."

Su Yuan didn't know how big the ice sheet was, but it was at least several thousand kilometers long.

One can imagine how lonely and lonely it is to be alone in such a land of ice and snow, practicing hard.

Su Yuan was so impulsive that he couldn't help but said: "I want to go too."

After saying this, he realized that it was completely unrealistic.

Zhenmiao smiled softly and pinched his cheek: "Stop talking nonsense, this country and the world still need you."

"...But, I need you too."

Zhen Miao sighed and called him a title that Su Yuan had not heard for a long time.

"Yuan'er, why are you doing this?"

"What's the trouble if you only think in your heart but don't dare to say it?" Su Yuan was never timid in this regard. He stared into Zhen Miao's eyes and spoke out what was in his heart.

"Master, if possible, I really want to stay by your side. It feels so good, as if I feel at ease..."

This is the truth about Su Yuan. He is often impetuous and sometimes impulsive and eager for quick success.

But as long as Zhen Miao is around, he feels particularly peaceful. It seems that the former has a "quiet aura". As long as he is within that range, no matter how arrogant he is, he will calm down.

Su Yuan knew that this was Zhenmiao's own temperament.

She has been practicing alone for who knows how many years, and she has almost become a part of the environment.

Just like people won't be impatient in a leisurely and quiet environment, Su Yuan is as if he is staying in this environment all the time when he is around Zhenmiao, and he feels very comfortable every minute.

If he wants this feeling to continue to exist, he must take the initiative to fight for it.

"well……"

Zhenmiao seemed a little helpless, there was nothing she could do against Su Yuan.

She could have turned a blind eye or walked away, but for some reason, she couldn't let go of this past.

After all, she has never had contact with anyone since her master passed away.

Even for the old friend she visited earlier, she could see that the latter had reached his end and his time was running out.

Su Yuandao: "Master, please stay a little longer. The New Year is not far away. You have to go to practice. Can you go after the New Year?"

Zhenmiao agreed.

She also wanted to take advantage of this time to sort out her thoughts.

"By the way, Master Tai, I'm going to get something for you to take a look at."

Su Yuan was very excited that Zhenmiao agreed to stay for the New Year. While he was happy, he remembered the sacred stone he found in the snake cave and hurriedly went to get it.

Jiawu had been carrying this stone with him before, but when he returned it, the wounds on his face had completely disappeared.

Jia Wu also took off the hijab he had worn for more than ten years and thanked Su Yuan profusely before leaving.

Su Yuan actually knew that Jiawu had always had a crush on the Beirong woman Geshana, but because of the scars on his face, he always felt unworthy and did not dare to reveal his feelings.

Now that the scar has been repaired, his appearance, not to mention how handsome, is at least very good-looking and full of youthful vigor. In this way, he has enough confidence to pursue love bravely.

Su Yuan was also very happy about this. Geshana and Jiawu were both his earliest friends. If they could achieve positive results, it would be a good thing for him.

He brought the sacred stone and Zhen Miao looked at it with a look of surprise.

"It turns out to be a 'longevity stone'."

"Shushi?"

Zhenmiao took the stone, nodded and explained: "Yes, Shoushi. I have seen it in an ancient book. It is said that there is a 'Yao Chi' somewhere in the south of the sky. The Yao Chi is filled with all kinds of rare treasures.

Even ginseng that is thousands of years old is not unusual... There is a small insect in Yaochi named "Shou", which specializes in eating these natural and earthly treasures. The crystals secreted after eating will accumulate together, and after thousands of years of weathering, they will become

longevity stone."

After hearing this, Su Yuan's face turned green: "So, this thing is... the feces of the longevity insect?"

Seeing Su Yuan's disgusted expression, Zhen Miao couldn't help but smile and said, "It doesn't matter. After thousands of years of weathering, the sand on the crystal has solidified into a thick barrier, so it takes on the shape of a stone."

After hearing this, Su Yuan's face looked a little better. Fortunately, he usually grabbed the outer wall made of dirt. If he had been grabbing feces all the time, it would be a bit embarrassing.

"So, this thing is very precious?"

"Natural." Zhen Miao said, "It can not only repair wounds, but also help practice."

"Then take it with you, Master Tai. Aren't you breaking through a critical period now?"

Zhenmiao shook his head slightly: "This thing is no longer useful to me. If an innate master holds this thing and practices day after day, he may be able to successfully break through to the great master after a few decades. After the great master, the effect this thing can provide will be

Almost nothing.”

"I see……"

The Grand Master realm is a realm that most warriors dream of, but it is nothing to Zhenmiao, and it is useless to Su Yuan.

He took the stone and thought that he might as well give it to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is now at the peak of his master's level, which is a critical period for his breakthrough. Bringing this thing with him should speed up his breakthrough.

After leaving Zhenmiao's place, Su Yuan felt very comfortable.

It's December now, and there's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year in January. At least Zhen Miao will stay with him for more than a month. Even if he meets once every day, he sees dozens of them, how can he not feel comfortable.

It happened that Yang Zhen was looking for him. When he saw him coming out of the house, he immediately came to greet him.

"His Majesty."

"Uncle Yang, you don't need to be so polite." Seeing that Yang Zhen was about to kneel down, Su Yuan quickly lifted him up.

"How can that be done? Don't lose etiquette! You are His Majesty now!" Yang Zhen was very excited.

He is happier than anyone else that Su Yuan can come to this point. If the prince is so promising, the old prince's soul in heaven must be able to rest in peace.

After obstinately saluting, Yang Zhen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I came to see you because I want to talk about respecting the Queen."

Respect the Queen?

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment before he understood what Yang Zhen meant.

Under Xun Yu's suggestion, Su Yuan ascended the throne not as an emperor, but as a saint. Then his "official wife" was naturally not the "empress" but the "empress".

"This matter..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Now that you have ascended the throne, you should also choose a queen. This way the world can feel at ease and you can leave an heir as soon as possible."

"Ahem, let me think about this matter." After Su Yuan finished speaking, he added, "Uncle Yang, let me say one more thing, Wuyou also mentioned this matter to me. I know you are all doing it for my own good, but

When it comes to emotional matters, only those within the relationship can make the decision... Just don't get involved too much."

"Yes, yes, I understand..."

Yang Zhen heard that Su Yuan was unhappy and quickly bowed his head.

Although Su Yuanda was approachable most of the time, he was already dignified. If he was a little more serious, others would be frightened and frightened.

Even Yang Zhen, who had been with Su Yuan for many years, did not dare to say anything more.

Seeing Yang Zhen leave, Su Yuan knew that others were doing it for his own good, just as he said.

But one cannot listen to other people's opinions on emotional matters. As for the so-called "respecting the queen", he actually has no idea... He plans to discuss it with Zhou Shu first.

night.

Su Yuan came to Zhou Shu's bedroom, opened the door and saw her washing up.

"Can't you wait until I finish washing up before coming back?"

"We are already an old married couple, why do we still care about this?"

Zhou Shu was wiping his face with a towel when he heard this and rolled his eyes at him.

"What an old married couple, they haven't even been together for a year yet, thank you for saying so."

Su Yuan smiled and said: "As the saying goes, love does not last forever. One day for us is worth a year."

"You really don't look like a king."
