Chapter 10
“Zhi zhi!”
The carriage’s wheels made a slight sound in the quiet night. Su Jianfei looked at Xiao Chen, who was sitting calmly in the carriage. His mind was still filled with those shocking sword moves.
His waist had stopped bleeding, but it was still very painful. However, he did not care about it. He frowned and could not understand — Yue Fusheng was clearly one level higher than Xiao Chen and had rich battle experience. He also had many Yue family desolate skills. How could he be defeated so easily?
Like a hot knife through butter, there was almost no way for him to fight back!
He looked at Xiao Chen with the word “ask” almost written on his face. Xiao Chen looked out the window indifferently, as if he was invisible.
Su Jianfei continued to look at him. Only when they were about to reach the Su family’s residence did Xiao Chen turn around and look at him indifferently. He spat out two words, “You don’t understand?”
“Yes, yes!”
Su Jianfei nodded like a chick pecking at rice, with a fawning expression.
“Zhi!”
When the carriage stopped, Xiao Chen did not explain. Instead, he stood up and lifted the curtain. Standing at the door, he looked back at Su Jianfei and said coldly, “Bring me my sword.”
Su Jianfei turned around with a hidden bitterness and grabbed the longsword in the carriage with one hand. As he casually lifted it, his body suddenly fell to the ground. The wound that had stopped bleeding was torn again.
He grimaced as he looked at the black wooden sword. His eyes were filled with shock. At this moment, he finally understood why Yue Fusheng was so thoroughly defeated …
Xiao Chen curled his lips, walked in, picked up the longsword with one hand, and walked out. Su Jianfei looked at him as if he was a monster. After a long while, he took a deep breath and murmured, “What a freak! Is this wooden sword made of darksteel?
It’s at least 150 kilograms, right?
Yue Fusheng is so powerful. If it was me … he would have to kneel! ”
Xiao Chen walked out of the carriage coldly. He did not look too proud of himself for suppressing Yue Fusheng, who was at the third stage of the White Tiger realm, with the black iron-like wooden sword.
In fact, if Grandma Liu had not fought tonight, he would not have fought even if he had been challenged.
Of course, Grandma Liu’s grandson had been killed by Yue Fusheng. He wanted to help her get back some interest.
…
Su Qingyi, Grandma Liu, and Su Ruohu stood outside the door, waiting for Xiao Chen.
Su Ruohu, who had always been unhappy with Xiao Chen, now looked much better. At the very least, he did not stupidly show contempt.
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. He walked in silently and went straight to his courtyard.
Su Qingyi glanced at Grandma Liu, and she immediately followed. Su Qingyi then said lightly, “Brother, you should go back and rest. It’s best not to go out and play these few days. I reckon the city won’t be very peaceful these days.”
Finishing her statement, she didn’t care if Su Ruohu understood her deeper meaning. She asked a few servants and made sure that Su Diguo was in her courtyard before she quickly headed to the backyard.
Before they even got close to Su Diguo’s courtyard, they could see the brightly lit interior. It was obvious that Su Diguo and the others knew the severity of this matter.
After walking into the courtyard, Su Qingyi noticed that the three elders were also present. When they saw Su Qingyi, one of the elders quickly asked in a serious tone, “How is the situation?”
Su Qingyi took a sip of tea and sighed. “The situation is not very optimistic. When Xiao Chen and Yue Fusheng were fighting, Yue Mei ‘er came to the rescue and used the Gale Divine Gift. Her speed was indeed doubled!
If she didn’t react fast enough, Xiao Chen could have crippled Yue Fusheng. What a pity … Yue Fusheng also said that Xue Chuihua would come to visit Yue Mei ‘er tomorrow morning. I reckon that the Blood and Yue Clans might have a marriage alliance. ”
“Uh …”
Su Diguo and the three elders were astonished. The marriage alliance between the Xue and Yue Clans was within their expectations, but what was going on with this Xiao Chen?
He had actually defeated Yue Fu Sheng?
Su Qingyi quickly explained everything that happened during the night and described the battle in detail. When she was done, the three elders’ eyes were already shining brightly.
Su Diguo muttered and quickly made a decision. “The Su Clan is facing a crisis of life and death. As the Su Clan Patriarch, I order: First, send more people to search for the Dragon Heart Grass. Once it is found, seize it at all costs.
Second.
Qingyi, you will think of all ways to keep Xiao Chen here.
Third, send a message to sell off all the businesses. The three of you are not allowed to leave the Su Residence. Also, arrange for people to protect Xiao Chen and prevent the Yue Clan from assassinating him … ”
The three elders went to make the arrangements. Su Qingyi’s beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of determination as she walked out resolutely.
After returning to her courtyard, she looked at the two maidservants who welcomed her and revealed a trace of blush on her face. She gritted her teeth and said, “Prepare hot water and put in fragrant rose petals. I want to take a bath!
Also, bring me my pink undergarments and red palace dress … ”
The two maidservants felt a little strange. Su Qingyi never used fragrant rose petals when she bathed and never wore pink undergarments.
When she slept, she only wore undergarments. Why was she wearing a palace dress now?
Was she going out so late at night?
Dressing like this, could it be … she was going to meet her lover?
…
Xiao Chen’s courtyard was brightly lit. Grandma Liu had brought a big bowl of meat porridge, and she was looking at Xiao Chen devouring the porridge with a loving expression. Big Yellow had also been given a big piece of roasted meat, and he was silently chewing on it.
When he was almost done eating, Grandma Liu smiled and said, “Child, I have to thank you for tonight’s matter.”
Xiao Chen lifted his head and grinned. “Apologies, Grandma. I originally wanted to help you cripple Yue Fusheng. Unfortunately, Yue Mei ‘er came and was at the Yue Clan …”
“There is no need to explain. Grandma knows.”
Grandma Liu interrupted him and said with gratitude, “It is good that you have this intention. Furthermore, Grandma is satisfied that Yue Fusheng was humiliated today.
I only hate that Grandma’s strength is too weak and can’t help my pitiful grandson take revenge … ”
Xiao Chen was silent. It wasn’t that he couldn’t forcibly cripple Yue Fusheng.
However, he wanted to help his grandfather obtain the Dragon Heart Grass. If he crippled Yue Fusheng during the duel, the Yue Clan wouldn’t be able to say anything. If he made a move later, the Yue Clan would probably rebel. He didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Grandma Liu wiped her tears and said with a serious expression, “Child, don’t go out for a while. Yue Fusheng looks like a gentleman on the surface, but he is very narrow-minded and will definitely take revenge for the smallest grievance!
Furthermore, the Yue Clan’s assassination techniques are quite famous in the Death God Tribe.
If the Su Clan is in trouble, you must remember to escape immediately. ”
Xiao Chen’s heart warmed up again. He grinned and suddenly thought of something. He asked, “Grandma, can you help me find some books about divine gifts?
I want to take a look. ”
“What are you looking at these for?”
Grandma Liu looked at Xiao Chen strangely and immediately explained, “Child, this divine gift cannot be forced. Normally, only when one’s parents are martial experts and have a noble bloodline can they awaken the divine gift.
For example, the Sha Clan in Sha Di City. Their descendants are all martial experts, and their wives are all martial experts. Therefore, the next generation will have divine gift warriors awaken.
Even so, in Sha Buhui’s generation, only four people have awakened the Berserk Divine Gift … ”
“Wait!”
Xiao Chen suddenly rudely interrupted Grandma Liu’s words. His expression turned extremely solemn as he asked, “Berserk Divine Gift?
Grandma, do you know what kind of Berserk Divine Gift it is? ”
Xiao Chen was a little abnormal at night. In the past, he would never interrupt Grandma Liu when she spoke.
Seeing how solemn Xiao Chen was, Grandma Liu didn’t ask anymore and explained, “The Berserk Divine Gift is very famous in the Death God Tribe. It is a sixth-grade divine gift.
When the divine gift is released, the martial artist will enter a berserk state. Their combat strength, defense, and speed will all increase by four levels. It is not a one-level increase like the Gale Divine Gift!
The Sha Clan was also able to dominate the Death God Tribe for hundreds of years because of this Berserk Divine Gift.
Why?
Xiao Chen, have you seen a martial artist in a berserk state? ”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment. He only realized it when Grandma Liu asked him. He shook his head vigorously and said, “I have not seen it before. I just feel that it is very powerful. Grandma, can you help me get some books about divine gifts?”
Xiao Chen pleaded again. Grandma Liu didn’t understand, but she still nodded and said, “Alright, you should rest early. I will ask Young Mistress tomorrow morning and ask her to send someone over.”
After Grandma Liu left, the confusion in Xiao Chen’s eyes intensified. He didn’t even notice that the yellow dog had returned to the corner to sleep soundly. He kept on muttering, “How is this possible?
How is this possible?
Grandfather didn’t mention it before, right?
Furthermore, my surname is also Xiao … ”
After sitting for one hour, Xiao Chen still couldn’t figure it out. He shook his head, got up, and prepared to close the door to sleep.
However, at this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside. He looked up curiously and saw a woman in red walking towards him under the moonlight.
The woman had a graceful figure and snow-white skin. Her oval face had exquisite facial features, and she had some light makeup on, which made her look even more radiant. A gentle breeze blew by, and a faint rose fragrance came from her body, intoxicating one’s soul.
The moonlight was captivating, and the beauty was like jade. Xiao Chen thought he saw a fairy walking towards him.
Su Qingyi was very satisfied with Xiao Chen’s intoxicated gaze. However, when she thought about what was about to happen, her entire body became hot. Her ears and neck turned a captivating red, making her look even more alluring.
She walked in front of Xiao Chen and opened her red lips. With a trembling voice, she said, “Big Brother Xiao, I heard that you wanted some books about divine gifts. Qingyi has brought them to you.”
She took out two books from her sleeve and handed them over. Xiao Chen subconsciously took them but accidentally touched Su Qingyi’s hand.
In that instant, the two of them shrunk back as if they were electrocuted. The books fell to the ground and made a soft sound.
The two inexperienced youths’ hearts tensed up at this moment. They hurriedly bent down to pick up the books.
As a result, their heads lightly collided. Su Qingyi was already nervous to the extreme. Her legs immediately went soft, and she fell to the ground.
She didn’t imagine a strong arm and a broad chest to hug her. Su Qingyi fell to the cold ground and noticed that her clothes were a little messy. Because the dress was cut low, her chest was exposed. She was instantly embarrassed.
She hurriedly covered up the exposed areas and angrily looked up. However, she saw Xiao Chen running into the room with lightning speed.
She faintly sighed again. Such an unromantic man was really rare in this world …
She gritted her teeth and stood up. She covered her burning face and took a few deep breaths. Then, she gathered her courage and walked into the room.
“Creak!”
As a result, a figure rushed in like lightning and slammed the door. Xiao Chen’s heavy breathing sounded, “Thank you, Miss Su. The night … is late. Miss, please go back.”
“Bang!”
Su Qingyi’s head hit the door. She staggered and fell to the ground again. If she didn’t react quickly, the back of her head would have a bump …
Looking at the tightly closed door, Su Qingyi had an urge to cry.
She hesitated hundreds of times in her heart. It wasn’t easy for her to make up her mind and take the initiative to seduce him, but she got this treatment?
Her eyes turned red. She got up and covered her face and trotted away. For the first time, she didn’t have confidence in her appearance and body. She also felt that this autumn night … was a little cold.
“Huff!”
Xiao Chen’s body was pressed against the door. His breathing was very rapid. After a long time, he calmed down the restlessness in his body. He sighed in an incomparably sure tone, “Grandpa really didn’t lie to me. Beautiful women are poisonous!
This woman is too poisonous. She just looked at me a few times and touched my hand. She actually made the place I pee uncontrollably … stand up!
It’s too scary. “
