Chapter 12
A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin!
This was what Su Diguo wanted to say the most at this moment. He felt like he was playing the lute to a cow. The words that he had been preparing for a long time were like a fart as Xiao Chen pretended not to hear it.
He couldn’t even protect his own life?
He still cared about the Dragon Heart Grass?
Did he really think that he could slaughter the entire Yue Clan just by suppressing Yue Fusheng?
The Yue Clan specialized in producing assassins. If he dared to step out of the Su Clan, it was guaranteed that he would be killed within half a day.
After punching the air, Su Diguo forcefully suppressed the displeasure in his heart and continued with a sincere smile, “Young Master Xiao, don’t be anxious.
The reason why I am here today is because of the news of the Dragon Heart Grass. I heard that … it is for your grandfather?
If you are so powerful, your grandfather must be even more powerful, right?
How did he get injured by a fifth-grade Pixiu desolate beast? ”
After hearing the news of the Dragon Heart Grass, Xiao Chen instantly tensed up and didn’t bother about Su Diguo’s probing words. He quickly said, “I don’t know the specifics. Grandfather had killed many fifth-grade desolate beasts in the past and was fine. Some time ago, he brought back the corpse of a Pixiu beast. Its entire body was purple, and its eyes were green. It couldn’t even walk steadily.
He said that it was accidentally poisoned and asked me to immediately search for the Dragon Heart Grass in the big city. If I didn’t return in three years, he would definitely die.
Clan Head Su, where is the Dragon Heart Grass?
Please tell me that I, Xiao Chen, will always remember your kindness. ”
“Oh?”
Su Diguo’s eyes narrowed while the three elders exchanged eye contact with radiance in their eyes.
Killed many fifth-grade desolate beasts and was fine?
Purple body and black eyes?
This was the same symptoms of a Pixiu being poisoned in the history books.
To be able to kill a fifth-grade desolate beast, one would at least be a Purple Image Realm expert or even higher.
This explained why Xiao Chen’s talent was so outstanding. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary person to nurture such an abnormal genius.
Su Diguo had a plan in his heart, but he calmly picked up the cup of tea that Grandma Liu handed over and took a sip. He then spoke unhurriedly, “Xiao Chen, I am a few decades older than you, so I will call you Nephew Xiao.
I sympathize with your grandfather’s experience. There is indeed news of the Dragonheart Grass, but it is still uncertain whether we can obtain it.
This morning, I received news that someone found a treasure land on the Broken Soul Cliff in the west of the Killing God Tribe. There are five rare elixirs inside, and one of them is the Dragon Heart Grass. ”
“Broken Soul Cliff?”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he got up abruptly and immediately began to pack his things, looking like he was about to leave.
Su Diguo and the others had black lines on their foreheads. Was this the so-called newborn calf not afraid of the tiger?
Or a fool?
“Nephew!”
Su Diguo waved his hand and stopped Xiao Chen’s actions. He then asked with a solemn expression, “Nephew, are you preparing to head to the Broken Soul Cliff to search for the Dragon Heart Grass?”
Xiao Chen nodded his head seriously. At the same time, he cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Patriarch Su, for the information. Xiao Chen will definitely thank you in the future.”
“This child!”
Su Diguo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed and said, “Nephew, do you know where the Broken Soul Cliff is?
Do you know how valuable those five spirit herbs are?
Do you know how powerful the desolate beasts that guard those five spirit herbs are?
I can guarantee that let’s not talk about whether you can escape the Yue Clan’s assassination. Even if you are able to reach the Broken Soul Cliff, you will never be able to obtain the Dragon Heart Grass. ”
Xiao Chen was startled, but he immediately said with a resolute expression, “Even if I can’t obtain it, I still have to try. Even if I have to die, I will not hesitate.
Da Huang, let’s go! ”
Xiao Chen packed his simple luggage and yelled at the yellow dog. He then turned around and was about to leave.
Su Diguo and the others were completely speechless. In their hearts, Xiao Chen wasn’t a newborn calf that wasn’t afraid of tigers, but a fool that lacked a one-track mind.
“Xiao Chen!”
Su Diguo stood up and spoke in a deep voice, “Among the five spirit herbs, the Dragon Heart Grass isn’t the most valuable. The most valuable one is the thousand-year-old Nine Immortal Mushroom, and the desolate beast that guards it is a sixth-grade peak-tier desolate beast, Twin-Headed Jade Scaled Python.
Even if your grandfather went, he might not be able to kill it, let alone you!
Wrong … in the entire Slaughter God Tribe, apart from the Sha Clan, no other faction can obtain it. Right now, the Sha Clan’s Patriarch has personally led countless experts over. By the time you reach the Broken Soul Cliff, the spirit herb would already be in the hands of the Sha Clan’s Patriarch.
Therefore, it is impossible for you to obtain the Dragon Heart Grass by yourself. ”
“Sha Clan?”
Xiao Chen’s footsteps stopped, and there was a trace of obscure disgust on his face. It seemed like he didn’t like this Sha Clan, or perhaps he didn’t want to have any relations with the Sha Clan.
His expression sank, and he pondered for a moment before his eyes glistened with radiance. He stared at Su Diguo and said, “Patriarch Su, how confident are you in obtaining the Dragon Heart Grass?
How much time do you need? ”
“Uh …”
Xiao Chen’s distinct black and white eyes suddenly flashed with an all-seeing radiance. He immediately asked the main point?
This made Su Diguo very uncomfortable.
Wasn’t he a rash fool?
Why was his brain working so fast?
Su Diguo lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking in a serious tone, “80%!
Half a year! ”
Xiao Chen nodded and put down the package. He looked at Su Diguo calmly and said, “Apart from joining your Su Clan, feel free to state any other conditions!
Of course … if I find out that you are deceiving me, I will kill someone. ”
Xiao Chen’s tone was still very calm, so calm that it did not match his appearance and age. The coldness and threat in his words did not sound like that of a teenager at all. Instead, he sounded like a cold-blooded warrior, a warrior who could wipe out the entire Su family.
This tone made Su Diguo and the three elders extremely unhappy, and it even made Grandma Liu frown. However, Su Diguo had this indescribable feeling that Xiao Chen wasn’t lying. It seemed like Xiao Chen truly had the ability to eliminate him.
The contempt in Su Diguo’s heart weakened, and he had elevated Xiao Chen to an equal status. He threw out the conditions that he had already thought of in his heart: “It is very simple. I just want to protect the Su Clan, and in order to protect the Su Clan, we have to eradicate the Yue Clan and intimidate the Xie Clan.
I will use all the strength of my clan to help you obtain the Dragon Heart Grass. I only hope that you and your grandfather can help our Su Clan to avoid this calamity. ”
“Deal!” Xiao Chen nodded straightforwardly.
The three elders looked at each other and hesitated. Xiao Chen wouldn’t be deceiving them, right?
His grandfather was severely injured and on the verge of death. His innate talent was rather good, but his strength was barely passable.
Helping the Su Clan to deal with the Yue Clan was a huge matter, and he naturally couldn’t contribute much. It would all depend on his grandfather’s opinion, and he agreed so decisively?
Su Diguo was also hesitant. After a moment of silence, he spoke, “Nephew, do you need to report this matter to your grandfather?
Your grandfather is alone in the Great Wilderness and is currently poisoned. The Great Wilderness is filled with venomous insects and ferocious beasts. Why don’t I send someone to fetch your grandfather over?
As long as your grandfather agrees, I, Su Diguo, will do everything I can to help him obtain the Dragon Heart Grass, even if I have to sell out the Su Clan. ”
Su Diguo’s original intention for coming here personally was for Xiao Chen to invite his grandfather to the Su Clan and intimidate the Xie and Yue Clans. He would then try his best to obtain the Dragon Heart Grass and borrow Xiao Chen’s grandfather’s hand to eliminate the Yue Clan. This way, the Su Clan’s crisis would be completely resolved.
“There is no need!”
Xiao Chen’s reply disappointed everyone. He spoke with certainty, “My grandfather is very safe in the Great Wilderness, and I will definitely do what I promised. Of course … my grandfather will not object. If there is any falsehood in my words, I, Xiao Chen, will die a horrible death.”
Xiao Chen had a firm expression and was unmoved.
Su Diguo took a glance at the three elders and nodded helplessly. Su Diguo’s expression turned resolute as he spoke, “Alright then. Nephew can stay in the Su Clan for this period of time. If there is anything you need, just let Grandma Liu know. I will definitely get the Dragon Heart Grass for you as soon as possible.”
…
Su Diguo and the others left quickly, but Grandma Liu stayed behind. She looked at Xiao Chen for a moment and finally let out a long sigh. “Child, there is something that Grandma shouldn’t say, but Grandma knows that you are a good child. If I don’t say it, Grandma will feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
Xiao Chen looked at Grandma Liu with doubt and pulled her hand with a smile. “Grandma, if you feel that you shouldn’t say it, then don’t say it.”
Grandma Liu shook her head and took a glance outside. She lowered her voice and said, “Child, in fact, your decision earlier was wrong.
Grandma suggests that you should leave the Su Clan and think of other ways to search for the Dragon Heart Grass.
With your talents, you can go to the Sha Clan and exchange for the Dragon Heart Grass. If you stay in the Su Clan … you might lose your life. The Su Clan is currently in a very dangerous situation! ”
Xiao Chen laughed disapprovingly. “Dangerous?
How dangerous? ”
“Sigh …”
Grandma Liu spoke with a bitter expression, “This morning, Young Master Xue Chuihua went to the Yue Clan. I heard that he was accompanied by two of the Xie Clan’s elders and … a special envoy from the Sha Clan.
This is already very obvious. Xue Chuihua is going to marry Yue Mei ‘er.
Once the Blood Moon Clan and the Blood Moon Clan unite by marriage, the Su Clan will suffer a calamity.
If you offend Yue Fusheng, you will only have death awaiting you.
The Su Clan is very wealthy, but the Dragon Heart Grass will definitely be obtained by the Sha Clan. The Sha Clan doesn’t lack money, so … the possibility of the Clan Head obtaining the Dragon Heart Grass is only 50%, but the possibility of you losing your life if you stay in the Su Clan is 90%.
Grandma suggests that you leave immediately. It would be best if you leave at night and go as far as possible. ”
Xiao Chen lowered his head in silence. He lifted his head after a moment and laughed. He shook his head and said, “Grandma, I am not leaving!
If I leave, who is going to protect you?
You are the first person who treated me so well after I left the Great Wilderness. I will not let anyone harm you.
Furthermore, Clan Head Su is right. Even if I leave, it will be hard for me to obtain the Dragon Heart Grass by myself. Thus, I want to wait for half a year. ”
Looking at Xiao Chen’s innocent eyes, Grandma Liu was touched. She wiped her tears and said, “Child, why are you so silly?
You can go and join the Sha Clan, right?
If worst comes to worst, when you obtain the Dragon Heart Grass, you can ask your grandfather and the Sha Clan to negotiate and break away. ”
“Sha Clan?”
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression turned unnatural. He shook his head firmly and said, “No!
I will not join the Sha Clan!
I would rather join the Su Clan than the Sha Clan. ”
Grandma Liu asked with astonishment, “Why?
Do you have any enmity with the Sha Clan? ”
Xiao Chen’s eyes turned blank as he shook his head and said, “No enmity. I simply don’t like them and hate them.”
