Chapter 4
Ruthless, unruly, impulsive, reckless, and disregarding the consequences.
Grandma Liu and Young Lady Su looked at each other. Both of them had a few more words to say about Xiao Chen.
Young Lady Su looked at Grandma Liu and quickly walked over. She brought Xiao Chen and the yellow dog inside.
Young Lady Su paused and glanced at Young Master Ning who was about to draw his sword and rush inside. She said coldly, “He is at the second stage of the White Tiger Realm. You can go and try if you don’t want to die.”
Looking at Young Master Ning who was stunned and had a pale face, Young Lady Su’s beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of disgust. She sighed and walked inside.
Why are these young masters always so boring?
There are so many young masters in such a big Blood Sun City. She really doesn’t like any of them …
Su Jianfei and the others also followed in, leaving Young Master Ning standing at the door with a face full of resentment. He looked rather miserable with the red lanterns swaying in the wind.
The Su Residence was very big. It was divided into the front yard, the middle yard, and the backyard.
Apart from Su Jianfei, the guards went to the front yard. There were people who would take care of them. Xiao Chen walked to the middle yard accompanied by Young Lady Su and Grandma Liu.
When Xiao Chen saw a lot of people standing outside the wide yard to welcome him, he frowned and stopped. He said to Grandma Liu, “Grandma, can you arrange a separate room for me?
I don’t like crowded places. ”
Grandma Liu was startled. She looked at Young Lady Su. After getting her consent, she brought Xiao Chen to the backyard.
Miss Su watched Xiao Chen’s silhouette disappear into the distance before she walked forward with a smile on her face. She bowed in front of a slightly plump middle-aged man and said, “Qingyi greets father, three elders, and big brother.”
Su Jianfei also bowed and said respectfully, “Greetings to Clan Leader, three elders, and young Clan Leader.”
“Let’s go in and talk.”
The middle-aged man who wore official clothes and had a rich face nodded lightly. He looked in the direction where Xiao Chen left and turned to walk inside.
He didn’t seem to be happy about his daughter’s return, but those who knew him well knew that the fact that he came out to welcome her meant that he doted on his daughter to the extreme.
The three middle-aged elders smiled in satisfaction. They also looked in the direction that Xiao Chen had left, then turned around and walked into the hall.
There was also a young man who looked much more handsome than Young Master Ning. He looked at Young Lady Su with dissatisfaction and said, “Qingyi, who is that person?
Don’t you know the rules? ”
Su Qingyi didn’t explain. Instead, she smiled and said, “Big Brother, let’s talk inside.”
“Hmph, country bumpkins will always be country bumpkins …”
The young man in embroidered clothes muttered as he walked inside. Su Qingyi shook her head and followed him inside.
…
The Su Clan was worthy of being the wealthiest clan in the Blood Sun City. The hall was extremely luxurious with snow-white blankets and red wooden tables that were emitting a refreshing fragrance. The tables were filled with fine wine and delicacies, and there were several maids standing at the side. All of these clearly showed the wealth of the Su Clan.
The Su Clan’s Patriarch, Su Diguo, raised his wine cup and forced a smile. He waited for Su Qingyi and Su Jianfei to take a seat before he raised his cup and said, “Come, let’s have a toast to Qingyi’s first successful business trip.”
Everyone quickly smiled and stood up to drink. Su Diguo waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down. He then took a glance at Su Qingyi and asked, “Qingyi, was it successful this time?”
After Su Qingyi entered, she took off her veil and revealed an exquisite and beautiful face.
Generally speaking, women who liked to wear veils were either too beautiful or too ugly.
It was obvious that Su Qingyi belonged to the former, and it was evident from Su Jianfei’s passionate eyes.
Su Qingyi let out a smile that was like a hundred flowers blooming. She shook her head gently and said, “Thank you for Father’s concern. It was still considered successful.”
Su Jianfei, who was by the side, was awakened. He shifted his gaze and immediately stood up. “How is this considered successful?
This business trip was simply bumpy. We encountered six mountain bandits, eleven attacks from wild beasts, and on the return journey, we even encountered an attack from a Blood Wolf King and close to twenty other blood wolves.
If it wasn’t for Young Lady’s intelligence and resourcefulness, Jianfei might not have the life to serve the Patriarch … ”
“Third-class dire beast Blood Wolf King?”
Su Diguo’s expression turned dark while the three elders knitted their brows tightly. The young master that was addressed as Young Clan Head by Su Jianfei asked with a mocking expression, “Why didn’t any of you die when there were so many dire beasts?
You aren’t bragging, right? ”
Su Jianfei’s face turned red, but he didn’t dare to refute. Su Qingyi lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly.
The three elders looked at each other and let out bitter smiles. Su Diguo slammed the table and stood up in rage. He yelled, “Bastard! How did I give birth to a fool like you?
Get lost! ”
When the Young Clan Head saw that Su Diguo was infuriated, he slipped out embarrassedly while mumbling to himself, which made Su Diguo’s expression turn even worse.
Su Jianfei naturally wouldn’t speak carelessly about such a huge matter. Last year, Young Clan Head Su Ruohu also went on a business trip for the first time. He brought along twice the number of guards, but he didn’t bring back any goods and even lost half his men.
Right now, it was fine if he was jealous of Su Qingyi’s safe return, but he actually acted in a strange manner?
Could it be that he would be happy if all the Su clansmen were dead?
At the thought of this, Su Diguo took a deep look at Su Qingyi and let out a slight sigh. This child was so outstanding, but it was a pity that she was a girl.
One of the elders noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly mediated, “Qingyi, the route that you took should be the periphery of the Great Wilderness, right?
Why did you encounter a blood wolf pack?
How did you manage to escape? ”
The elder’s question attracted Su Diguo’s attention. Su Qingyi muttered for a moment and explained with a bitter smile, “I am still not sure why the blood wolves appeared. We didn’t escape and killed some of the blood wolves instead. Father, did you see that youth just now?
He was basically the one who killed all the blood wolves. ”
Su Jianfei quickly nodded and responded, “Yes, that youth was very powerful and actually reached the second stage of the White Tiger Realm. Furthermore, his combat strength was very formidable. I reckon that I wouldn’t last more than three moves against him.”
“What?”
Su Diguo and the three elders’ eyes lit up at the same time. Su Diguo’s round face turned extremely solemn as he asked in a deep voice, “Tell us the details of the incident.”
Su Jianfei drank a cup of fine wine and immediately narrated with saliva flying everywhere. “Back then, when we were in the periphery of the Great Wilderness, this youth appeared by himself. He was carrying a wooden sword on his back and had a mutt with him. He asked us to bring him along …”
Su Jianfei’s storytelling ability was very good as he narrated everything without missing a single detail, including the confrontation with Young Master Ning at the Su clan’s entrance. He didn’t omit or exaggerate anything.
Su Diguo and the three elders went silent after listening to the story. The four of them looked at each other and saw the strange expression in each other’s eyes.
Just now, when they had a face-to-face encounter with Xiao Chen, they could clearly determine that this youth was at least 16 or 17 years old. To have such combat strength at such a young age had deeply shocked them.
Su Diguo muttered for a moment before he suddenly stood up and said, “Qingyi, from now on, you don’t have to bother about anything else. You have to think of a way to keep this youth in the Su Clan.
Whatever he wants, you have to give it to him! ”
The three elders nodded resolutely. They knew clearly that being wealthy wasn’t something to be proud of in the Wilderness God Continent. Without a powerful martial artist to intimidate everyone, it would only invite endless disasters.
The Su Clan was very wealthy, but the clan’s only Purple Image Realm old patriarch had passed away half a year ago. This caused the Su Clan to be surrounded by crisis.
The Su Clan urgently needed an expert to intimidate everyone and needed to recruit talented youth to nurture.
Born in the Great Wilderness at the age of 16 or 17, Xiao Chen was already at the second stage of the White Tiger Realm. His talent was even more outstanding than the no.1 young master of the Blood Sun City, Xue Guihua. It was worth it for the Su Clan to rope him in at any cost.
…
Xiao Chen didn’t know that he had become a hot commodity and had caught the eyes of the elders of the Su Clan. He was currently sitting in a small courtyard and was holding a small half of a roasted suckling pig and gnawing on it. His yellow dog was squatting by the side and gnawing on the other half.
“Keke, child, don’t be in such a hurry!
No one will snatch it from you. ”
The benevolent-looking Grandma Liu was sitting at the side. She was looking at the extremely boorish eating behavior of the youth who would occasionally raise his head and grin.
She found it hard to connect this with the decisive and indifferent appearance he had when he was killing outside the gate. She felt that this youth was wearing a mask in front of outsiders.
Grandma Liu waited for Xiao Chen to eat and drink his fill before waving her hand for the maidservant to clean up. She then smiled and said, “Child, you can stay here peacefully. If you need anything, tell Grandma. Just treat this as your own home.”
Xiao Chen rubbed his belly and said gratefully, “Grandma is so good to me.”
“You are such a sweet child. You look just like my grandson.” Grandma Liu smiled. However, as she spoke, her expression turned gloomy.
Xiao Chen was deep in thought. This Grandma Liu probably asked the caravan to bring him along because he looked like her grandson.
No wonder this Grandma Liu looked at him with such gentle and kind eyes. It was also because of this that he had a special favorable impression of this old lady.
He muttered for a moment and finally asked in a low voice, “Grandma, what happened to your grandson?”
“Dead!”
Grandma Liu closed her eyes in pain and said while gritting her teeth, “He offended the eldest young master of the Yue Clan a year ago. Three days later, he suddenly died …”
Xiao Chen didn’t know what the Yue Clan was.
However, he knew that Grandma Liu was very lonely and desolate now. He could empathize with her.
His eyes gradually became misty as he looked out of the window and murmured, “When I am not around, does Grandfather feel the same loneliness and desolation in the Great Wilderness?”
Grandma Liu was sad for a while and forced a smile. She stood up and said, “Child, you should rest. Stay here with peace of mind. Tomorrow, Grandma will bring you to buy new clothes.”
Xiao Chen suddenly shook his head and said, “No, Grandma. I am leaving tomorrow!
I still have something to do. I need to go to a big city. ”
Grandma Liu was stunned and immediately asked with doubt, “Child, why are you going to a big city?
Isn’t this Blood Sun City big enough? ”
Xiao Chen lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He then lifted his head and said, “My grandfather was poisoned by a desolate beast and can only hold on for three years.
I am going to help him find the Dragon Heart Grass to treat him. He said that only the big cities have it, like the main city of the Asura God Tribe, the Asura Thearch City. ”
“I see …”
Grandma Liu nodded. She had never heard of the Dragon Heart Grass.
This youth was so powerful. His grandfather must be an incredible person, too.
If such a powerful person was poisoned, it couldn’t be treated with ordinary spirit herbs. She still had the intention to keep this youth in the Liu Clan to be nurtured. It seemed like she had to give up now.
She patted on Xiao Chen’s shoulder and smiled kindly. “Alright. Rest early. Grandma will send you tomorrow morning.”
