Chapter 15
Su Qingyi’s open and aboveboard honey trap had made the situation in Blood Sun City confusing.
The Xue Clan’s opinion was the most crucial in the battle between the Yue Clan and the Su Clan. As the Young City Lord of Blood Sun City, Xue Chuihua’s opinion was also crucial to the Xue Clan.
City Lord Xue Wuchang was just like his name, capricious. This person valued benefits the most. Since the Su Clan took the initiative to make a request, he naturally wanted to see the Yue Clan’s reaction in order to obtain greater benefits.
Those clans that were originally standing on the Yue Clan’s side began to waver again.
The Su Clan had flourished for a hundred years, and their wealth was one of the top clans in the Asura Tribe. With such a deep foundation, it was impossible that they didn’t have any hidden weapons or powerful external help.
It was still uncertain who would be the final victor. If they stood on the wrong side, they would definitely suffer intense revenge in the future.
The Xue Clan was silent and was obviously weighing the pros and cons.
The Yue Clan was also silent. They were preparing and investigating in secret while waiting for the Xue Clan’s decision.
The Blood Sun City began to strangely calm down, but the atmosphere in the city was even more oppressive. It was like the calm before the storm, suffocating.
The Su Clan obtained a moment of peace. The messenger eagles in the courtyard were constantly taking off and landing. Su Diguo no longer had the mood to go to his second aunt’s place to enjoy her superb skills. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged ten years.
Grandma Liu’s body was almost fully recovered. Xiao Chen would visit her once a day and spend the rest of the time cultivating.
Occasionally, he would sit in the courtyard and watch the flying eagles, imagining that Su Diguo would bring good news.
Su Qingyi didn’t go out anymore. Other than the occasional visit to Grandma Liu, she would help her father deal with the clan’s affairs. She didn’t come to Xiao Chen’s courtyard again.
It seemed like the scar from that night when she was stabbed by Xiao Chen hadn’t healed, or the pride in her heart made her unwilling to lower herself. Although she would occasionally think of that magical perfect body and that delicate face.
“Young Master Xiao, good news!”
Finally, after seven or eight days, an elder brought hope with a smile. The Su Clan entrusted the Sha Clan’s Zhao Clan to contact the Sha Clan to purchase the Dragon Heart Grass. Just now, they finally received a positive reply.
He had killed the family head, Sha Potian, and led the experts of the Emperor City to kill the Two-headed Jade Scaled Python Desolate Beast on the Broken Soul Cliff. He had successfully obtained five peerless spirit herbs.
Sha Potian was in a good mood. When the experts of the Zhao Family asked to buy the Dragon Heart Grass, he readily agreed. As long as they returned to Sha Di City, they could buy it with a high price.
The main force was already on the way. If they were to speed up, it would only take them five days to reach the Sha Di City. At most, it would take them half a month to deliver the Dragon Heart Grass to the Blood Sun City. At that time, they would go to the Wasteland to cure Xiao Chen’s grandfather.
After Xiao Chen heard this, he was completely immersed in joy. To him, his grandfather, who he had depended on since he was young, was his everything. As long as his grandfather could be cured, not to mention helping to deal with the Yue Clan, even if he had to kill his way into the Imperial City alone, he wouldn’t even blink.
…
“One month!
As long as we can delay for another month! ”
At this moment, Su Diguo seemed to have become ten years younger. His slightly plump body was slightly trembling as he paced back and forth in the secret room. His eyes were constantly flickering with radiance. After a moment, he solemnly said to the two elders and Su Qingyi, “We will proceed in two steps. Firstly, Qingyi, think of a way to stabilize Xue Chuihua. Secondly, spread the rumor that the clan invited a peerless expert. Additionally, get the clan members in the stronghold to move and confuse the Yue Clan’s scouts. At the same time, arrange a diversion to intimidate the Yue Clan and the Xue Clan. As long as we can delay for a month, the Yue Clan will definitely perish.”
The two elders nodded and immediately discussed as they prepared to make arrangements.
However, Su Qingyi didn’t move. Instead, she knitted her beautiful brows and spoke with concern, “Father, do you really trust Xiao Chen that much?
Right now, you are betting all your chips on his grandfather. What if Xiao Chen lied to us? ”
“You are wrong!”
Su Diguo shook his head with absolute confidence. “Xiao Chen wouldn’t lie. His eyes!
No one’s eyes can lie. Xiao Chen is just a rash and inexperienced fool. If he could lie to us, who are experienced in the underworld, then we would have lived in vain.
Xiao Chen is so young. Without the guidance of an expert, it is impossible for him to reach such a realm. How could that 150 kg wooden sword of his be an ordinary item?
Also, with his temperament, if it wasn’t for the subtle influence of a formidable grandfather, would he be so arrogant and unyielding?
Just because of a disagreement, he would make a move without restraint and completely disregard the consequences? ”
In Su Qingyi’s mind, a pair of clear and spirited eyes with a clear distinction between black and white appeared. She didn’t ask any more questions. A person with eyes that were as clean as a baby’s had obviously not suffered from the filth of the mortal world.
It was precisely because he hadn’t been beaten black and blue by this cruel society that he didn’t understand the ways of the world. He wasn’t shrewd, and he retained the most beautiful characteristic of a human being — truth, kindness, and beauty.
“Xiao Chen, you will still be alive after ten years. I wonder if you will still be able to maintain this kind of true temperament?”
Su Qingyi muttered in a low voice. She rubbed her forehead and walked out of the secret room. Thinking about how she had to endure the disgust in her heart and pretend to flirt with the playboy, her entire body felt unwell.
At this moment, she was very envious. It would be great if her life could always be like Xiao Chen’s. It was too tiring to live with a mask.
It wasn’t dusk yet, but the sky was a bit dark. The wind today was very strong, causing Su Qingyi’s clothes to flutter and her hair to be messed up. She squinted her eyes.
She raised her head to look at the sky. Her expression didn’t change, but she had an indescribable bad feeling in her heart. Was the world about to change?
“Shh-shh-shh!”
A wave of hurried footsteps came from the distance. Su Jianfei walked over with a face full of anger. Su Qingyi’s expression became even more solemn as she asked in a heavy voice, “What happened?”
Su Jianfei spoke with incomparable anger, “Young Lady, the clan cemetery on Mt. Dadong was completely robbed last night. All the corpses were dug out!
According to the nearby villagers, they saw people from Rong Clan Town roaming around the vicinity last night. ”
“Rong Clan Town?
People from the Rong Clan! ”
Su Jianfei had already walked into the secret room to report to Su Diguo, but Su Qingyi’s heart was getting more and more uneasy.
The cemetery on Mt. Dadong was where the clan’s guards and collateral clan members were buried after they passed away.
Since they were guards and collateral clan members, then the burial items wouldn’t be too valuable. The tomb robbers definitely weren’t after the valuables but to infuriate the Su Clan.
Provocation!
The Rong Clan had always been the Yue Clan’s lackey, and it seemed like the Yue Clan couldn’t endure it any longer. They wanted to stir up some trouble to see the Su Clan’s reaction and to understand the Su Clan’s background.
Su Qingyi wasn’t worried about such small tricks as Su Diguo had naturally made appropriate arrangements. As long as the clan members and guards were suppressed and didn’t stir up trouble, the Yue Clan wouldn’t be able to do anything.
When Su Diguo’s series of arrangements took effect, the Yue Clan wouldn’t dare to make a move.
Even though she was certain that Su Diguo could settle everything, Su Qingyi still felt uneasy. She didn’t know where the problem was.
She walked out of her loft and subconsciously glanced at Nanny Liu’s courtyard. The corner of her eye twitched, and she abruptly sped towards Nanny Liu’s courtyard.
When she walked into the courtyard, she didn’t see Grandma Liu’s figure. Su Qingyi stared at the maidservant serving Grandma Liu with a frosty expression and asked, “Where is Grandma Liu?”
The maidservant replied with some confusion and fear, “Grandma just said that she had some matters to attend to and went out.”
“Oh no!”
Su Qingyi finally knew where the uneasiness in her heart came from. Grandma Liu’s grandson’s grave was also on Mt. Dadong. Su Diguo could suppress the guards from stirring up trouble and not going out, but he couldn’t suppress Grandma Liu, who loved her grandson the most.
