My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 589 - 584 Song Tianbao

Su Xuan helped Song Shuangshuang catch such a big fish, which delighted her immensely. She examined the fish from all angles, marveling at her catch. Previously, she could only wait to eat, but now she had caught it herself, how could she not be pleased with her own labor?

"Shuangshuang, let’s hurry back, or the old man will start worrying again. Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

The middle-aged man kept urging the girl.

"Uncle Song, this big brother is also going to attend the selection contest held today. I agreed, hehe, I know you care about me the most, you’ll definitely respect my wishes, right?"

Song Shuangshuang playfully looked at him.

"Absolutely not, selecting talents is a matter for our own Song Family members, we can’t let outsiders get involved, it’s inappropriate! Even if I agreed, your father would not."

This middle-aged old fogey was still very stubborn, Su Xuan really wanted to get rid of him for always opposing him.

"I don’t care, I’ve already promised them, they must be allowed to go."

The girl actually threw a tantrum, which Su Xuan quite liked.

"Shuangshuang, the backgrounds of these two are unclear to us, we shouldn’t rashly let them enter our Song Family, it might bring disaster."

"How about this, let’s bring the two of them and have my father decide, what do you think?"

The little girl suggested.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you this time."

The middle-aged man glanced at the time, because the selection contest was about to begin, and he could not afford to waste time chatting with Song Shuangshuang; getting back on time was of utmost importance.

Thus, Su Xuan and Ye successfully entered the Song Family. Initially, the middle-aged man wanted to make Su Xuan wear a blindfold to enter, but seeing Song Shuangshuang’s displeased face, he decided against it.

Only after following inside did Su Xuan realize they didn’t use the main gate but a very small side entrance. This side door was concealed beneath a rock, even equipped with a mechanism, a slight turn of the stone would automatically open the stone door.

Although the old man didn’t want Su Xuan to see this tiny action, Su Xuan managed to catch a glimpse of it.

Entering the Song Family, Su Xuan felt as if he had traveled through time!

Everything here was retro architecture, and people nearby were also dressed in attire from ancient feudal dynasties, could it be a real time travel?!

Looking at Song Shuangshuang, in her bright red cotton jacket complementing the style here, and Ye, an Assassin who had traveled all over, found it unbelievable; it was magical to find such a hidden family on this mountain. More importantly, the weather and temperature here were as spring all year round!

Su Xuan thought that nominating this place for a World Cultural Heritage site or creating a World Guinness Record wouldn’t be a big issue. In such a high-altitude snowy mountain, with such ancient architectural complexes still inhabited, it was certainly a miracle among miracles.

There were many people inside, still dressed in ancient clothes, and they viewed Su Xuan and Ye as if they were Aliens, causing the crowd to stare relentlessly, making Su Xuan feel like he was a Giant Panda in a zoo, with overwhelming attraction.

If someone uninformed came here, they might think an ancient drama was being filmed, likened to modern humans barging into a primitive tribe.

The middle-aged man was furious, but since Song Shuangshuang had brought them along, just wait for the Family Head to blow his top later.

Yet Song Shuangshuang seemed unconcerned, pointing to a few people sitting next to a stone platform and telling Su Xuan, "See there? That’s the registration spot. Good luck to you. If you win, we can be together every day and catch many more fish."

"No problem."

Su Xuan walked towards the registration, openly registering for the contest to select a capable literate and martial servant for the Miss of the Song Family.

Upon hearing Song Shuangshuang’s words about being together every day, Ye unexpectedly felt a sour taste; the idea of forever together, such a naive little girl.

Su Xuan also knew that only three days were left before the poison in him would activate. For now, he could only remain undercover; after all, the antidote was close at hand. The Song Family had a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. He would stay back and find an opportunity to seize it; he must not rush as that would more likely startle the enemy.

"You are not a member of our Song Family, you cannot register."

Su Xuan was actually denied entry.

"Which rule of ours states that someone not from the Song Family can’t compete? Why wouldn’t it be okay for me to have better tutors in literature and martial arts, and to broadly recruit talents? When I say it’s fine, it is!"

Song Shuangshuang told those people, and after considering it, they realized there really was no such rule in the Song Family—the precedent just hadn’t been set before.

"Miss, look at how young this man is, barely a few years older than you. How could someone like him help you in your studies and martial arts? Misguidance is more likely."

Su Xuan heard this youngster looking down on him, wanting to erupt in anger, but remembering he was supposed to act the part of a humble gentleman, he decided not to stoop to such levels. If a dog bit you and you bit back, that would be rather demeaning.

"Big brother, he actually looked down on you, you have to reclaim my honor later, I insist, I want you to win!"

"Small case."

"What’s a small case? I’ve never heard of it." Song Shuangshuang, living in seclusion in the mountains, seemed disconnected from the outside society, but none of these were issues, there’s nothing Su Xuan couldn’t teach—oh no, not things, rather, people.

"It’s simple, don’t worry, I guarantee I’ll beat him until he’s searching all over the ground for his teeth."

After Su Xuan finished speaking, a group of people behind him actually burst into laughter. Turning around, Su Xuan saw a group of muscular men whose muscles did not seem to be the result of steroids. Training in such a high-altitude place to develop such muscles, they must have incredible endurance.

Qiuyue was the first to stand in front of Su Xuan and whispered, "They’re not good people, and the poison in your body will limit some of your strength; you shouldn’t overexert yourself."

Su Xuan looked at Qiuyue gratefully and smiled, "In this world, the person you should worry about the least is me, because I will make the opponent lose without a doubt."

"Good! I like your domineering spirit."

When Song Shuangshuang heard Su Xuan’s words, she excitedly shouted to the others, "You all heard that, the friend I brought..."

Suddenly she stopped, whispered, "What’s his name again?"

Qiuyue added, "Su Xuan."

Song Shuangshuang then picked up her excitement and passionately yelled at the others, "My friend Su Xuan said he doesn’t even consider you all a challenge, none of you are his match."

Su Xuan was so angered he almost spit out blood. This Song Shuangshuang was a master at inciting wars; originally, Su Xuan wanted to intimidate them a bit to make them surrender to avoid a fight, but now it looked like a big battle was inevitable.

"Who is making such a noise outside!"

Suddenly a voice as deep as a bell resonated from the hall, and Su Xuan could tell that this voice came from the depth of the Dantian, something ordinary people couldn’t match. The speaker must be a master, and had been practicing martial arts for decades.

Indeed, within a few seconds, a middle-aged man wearing a mink coat slowly walked out from the hall. He had a heroic bearing, a stern face, and walked like a tiger, his footsteps solid, making a thick sound on the ground. Su Xuan knew only certain types of people could perfectly align their feet with the ground to stand more sturdily.

This man was Song Shuangshuang’s father, Song Tianbao.

"Daddy, you’re here! Come, help me out, they’ve all been bullying me!"

When Song Shuangshuang saw her father come out, she quickly ran to him, rubbing against him like a docile kitten, pointing at those who had just refused to give Su Xuan a break.

Seeing them pointed at, the others quickly stepped back, fearing they’d get dragged into trouble.

The middle-aged man who had gone fishing with Song Shuangshuang immediately stood up and said, "Master, this young lady brought someone here this morning, wanting him to join the literary and martial arts teacher selection competition. I advised against it but she didn’t listen and still brought him over."

"This Shuangshuang, she’s becoming more disobedient as she grows."

"Shuangshuang is your tiny cotton-padded jacket. I know you don’t really blame me."

Song Shuangshuang quietly knocked on Song Tianbao’s back and pinched his shoulders, her childish hands performing the service quite proficiently.

"Sigh..."

Song Tianbao sighed, "Enough, enough. Send the person you brought away; let the person who came in not mention our Song Family outside, and we will continue the selection competition."

Su Xuan thought the Family Head might agree to let him stay, but he was utterly disappointed by the result, extremely frustrated.

Qiuyue also felt unwilling, having reached this point and nearly securing a stay; she shook her head vigorously. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Daddy! You don’t love me at all, I’m going to tell mom!"

Upon hearing that Su Xuan was to be sent away, Shuangshuang of course disagreed. Since she was young, she had been brought up with Confucian education, where integrity and fulfilling one’s promises were paramount. She had promised Su Xuan that he could stay, and she had to fulfil it, or else she wouldn’t feel at peace.

Hearing his daughter say this, Song Tianbao was instantly embarrassed. His wife had died when Shuangshuang was only eight, making him promise to let their daughter grow up happily. Song Tianbao had agreed, and usually, if Shuangshuang held anything in her mind, she would talk it over in front of her mother’s nearby grave.

This time, Song Tianbao did not want his daughter to run to her mother’s grave again.

"Shuangshuang, stop it. Outsiders cannot enter the mountain, and we cannot leave the mountain. That’s our rule."

Song Tianbao wanted to keep persuading his daughter.

Song Shuangshuang countered, "You say we can’t leave the mountain, but our family still goes out once every month for supplies. How do you explain that?"

"We need to eat, of course, we have to send someone to buy food."

"They’ve already broken our family rules, they’ve messed up first, what’s wrong if I break them once? They go out over ten times a year, and I’ve said nothing!" Shuangshuang pouted and sulkily said.

"Ah..."

Song Tianbao felt extremely embarrassed. His daughter was growing up more disobedient by the day, quirky and smart like her mother, which sometimes wasn’t a good thing.

Song Tianbao looked up at Su Xuan and Qiuyue and asked, "Where are you from, and what brings you here?"

"We’re residents of Qiutian City, both avid travelers, affectionately termed as ’donkey friends.’ I’m Su Xuan, she’s Ye from our travel club, and also my girlfriend. We came here for an adventure and happened to meet your esteemed daughter, so we decided to pay a visit."
