Chapter 6
Su Diguo was in a good mood today. He spent a large sum of money to purchase a courtesan from the Blood Sun City’s number one brothel to be his second concubine, and it was indeed worth it.
The ladies from the brothel knew how to serve people and were proficient in all kinds of musical instruments, allowing his old bones to glow with a second spring.
In addition, his beloved daughter had returned safely and even brought back a mysterious and powerful youth. Just thinking about this made his mood even better.
This precious daughter who looked down on the youths of the Blood Sun City had never disappointed him since young. It was a pity that she was a girl.
Just as he was leisurely sitting in the courtyard and enjoying his second aunt’s comfortable massage and teasing, preparing to make another comeback, a maidservant came in and reported that Su Qingyi was requesting for an audience.
He waved his hand, and the bewitching second aunt behind him left obediently. He beckoned for the maidservant to call Su Qingyi in, and when he saw her knitting her brows, he couldn’t help but feel something was amiss. He asked with a stern expression, “What is it?
Qingyi. ”
Su Qingyi sighed softly and told him about Xiao Chen’s matter. Su Diguo’s good mood instantly sank.
He closed his eyes and went silent. One of his hands was tapping on the table, producing a rhythmic sound.
After a long time, Su Diguo opened his eyes and looked at Su Qingyi. “How do you think we should handle this matter?”
Su Qingyi walked over and had a plan in her mind. She said, “Xiao Chen must stay in the Su Clan. Therefore, we have to do it in two steps. First, use all the clan’s resources to inquire about the Dragon Heart Grass. Second, do everything we can to rope in Xiao Chen.”
Su Diguo nodded with satisfaction and stared at Su Qingyi. “What do you mean by all the methods?”
Su Qingyi averted her eyes and blushed slightly. She gritted her teeth and said, “Money, cultivation techniques, spirit herbs, and if it doesn’t work, there is still … me!”
Su Diguo’s eyes revealed a trace of guilt, but he waved his hand decisively. “Go. I will leave this matter to you. I only care about the results.”
As Su Qingyi drifted away, Su Diguo’s eyes turned cold. A moment later, he muttered, “Xiao Chen, right?
If you still don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for turning against you. ”
…
Su Diguo nodded his head, and Su Qingyi immediately mobilized all the clan’s forces to scout for information on the Dragon Heart Grass. She also asked Grandma Liu to accompany Xiao Chen whenever she was free.
She knew this mysterious youth very well. He treated others with a coldness that pushed them a thousand miles away. Only when he was with Grandma Liu did he feel a special sense of closeness.
Xiao Chen’s temper was very strange. Sometimes he looked like a young and inexperienced youth, sometimes he looked like a reckless and unruly man, and sometimes he looked like a cruel and merciless cold-blooded demon.
Young Master Ning was frightened by him that day, but he didn’t even dare to eat dinner at the Su Clan. He brought his men back to the Ning Clan that very night …
Su Qingyi was undoubtedly a very intelligent woman. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have looked down on the youths of the Blood Sun City.
She understood that she couldn’t be overly hasty when dealing with a person like Xiao Chen. She had to slowly open up his heart and allow him to completely accept the Su Clan.
Thus, for the past two days, Su Qingyi didn’t make an appearance. She merely asked Grandma Liu to visit three times a day and inquire about his well-being.
On the evening of the third day, she dressed up and specially changed into a pink dress and a snow-white vest. She took a secret manual from the Su Clan and brought Grandma Liu to Xiao Chen’s courtyard.
“He he!”
There was a deep yell that echoed from the courtyard. Xiao Chen was cultivating again, and Su Qingyi found out from Grandma Liu that Xiao Chen would practice his sword every morning and evening. The rest of the time, he would cultivate in his room and never take a step out of the courtyard.
When Su Qingyi saw the perfect physique of his naked upper body and the hideous scar on his back, her limpid eyes lit up. The more she interacted with this youth, the more mysterious he was. This was a young man with a story.
When Xiao Chen saw the two of them walking in, he stopped his sword practice as expected. He nodded to Grandma Liu and walked into the room. Shortly after, he changed into a set of clean clothes and came out with a wooden sword on his back.
Clothes make the man and saddle make the horse!
The new clothes that Grandma Liu specially prepared for Xiao Chen were very fitting. Although it was the most ordinary kind of black warrior robe, it still made Xiao Chen’s delicate face look a little more handsome.
The well-tailored robe outlined his perfect figure even more, even though he still looked like a frail youth on the outside.
“Young Lady Su, is there any news?”
There was a small pavilion at the side of the courtyard. When Xiao Chen saw the two of them sitting there, he strode over and asked with some urgency.
“It has only been three days, right?
How can it be so fast? ”
Su Qingyi rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen. That casual action, coupled with her exquisite oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and the special dress she wore today, gave her a different kind of charm.
The combination of purity and charm gave young men a great impact. At least, Xiao Chen’s eyes became intoxicated.
“Grandpa didn’t lie to me. Women really are poisonous. This woman is so powerful. Just one look and I almost lost my mind!”
Xiao Chen quickly recovered and his eyes became clear. He nodded with some disappointment and then turned to leave.
“What an unromantic man.”
A trace of disappointment also flashed in Su Qingyi’s eyes. She clearly saw the intoxicated look in Xiao Chen’s eyes.
She had seen this look too many times. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen woke up in the blink of an eye and wanted to leave immediately?
Ever since she appeared in Blood Sun City two years ago, which young master didn’t want to circle around her all day?
“Brother Xiao, wait a minute!”
Su Qingyi stood up and shouted. Xiao Chen turned around with a gloomy face and asked coldly, “Is there anything else, Miss Su?”
“Take a look at this.”
Su Qingyi stated her purpose for coming and took out a manual wrapped in yellow cloth from her sleeve. She smiled and said, “I think this might be useful to you.”
Grandma Liu also said, “Child, come and take a look.”
Grandma Liu spoke. Xiao Chen had always given her face.
He walked into the pavilion and curiously flipped open the yellow cloth. He saw that it was an ancient book. He picked it up and scanned it. His eyebrows furrowed even more and he muttered in confusion, “Thousand Ton Slash?
This is a Desolate Skill? ”
“To be precise, it is a fifth-grade Desolate Skill!”
Su Qingyi did not explain further, but her eyes revealed a hint of pride. This was one of the only three fifth-grade Desolate Skills in the Su family. If this secret skill was auctioned, it would be worth at least 5000 gold.
Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. He knew about Desolate Skills. They were magical powers created by the strongest warriors in this world.
Usually, a powerful Desolate Skill could greatly increase a warrior’s combat power.
Many things in this world were divided into nine grades, such as desolate beasts, divine weapons and the Desolate Skill in his hands.
The Huangshen continent was the world of warriors. The strong had absolute authority in this world.
Everyone in this world practiced martial arts. Everyone wanted to become strong, to control the life and death of others, to obtain more wealth, power and beauties.
However, many people had limited talent and could never step into the ranks of a true warrior.
Green Bull Realm, Black Panther Realm, White Tiger Realm, Blood Bear Realm and Purple Elephant Realm!
The first two realms were about training the body. Only with a sufficiently strong body could one attract the Desolate Qi from Heaven and Earth into the body and convert it into the Power of Desolate.
When a warrior used the Power of Desolate to open up the meridians in his body, allowing the Power of Desolate to be stored in the Dantian’s Purple Palace, he would enter the White Tiger Realm and step into the true warrior’s palace.
However!
A person’s physique varied. Some people’s meridians were very small and had a lot of impurities. It would be difficult for them to open up their meridians and they would be stuck at the peak of the Black Panther Realm.
Of course, there were also people who were extremely talented. They could open up their meridians at a young age and enter the White Tiger Realm. For example, Blood Sun City’s first young master, Xue Chuihua, and Xiao Chen.
The younger a warrior was, the better their body’s various functions and the greater their potential for future development.
When they reached middle age, once their peak was over, their body’s functions would slowly age. Even if their strength could improve, there would not be much room for improvement.
That was why young geniuses were valued by various family clans. That was why the Su family was willing to pay any price to rope in Xiao Chen.
Su Jianfei was already thirty years old, but his strength was only at the first stage of the White Tiger Realm!
He would definitely improve in this lifetime, but the room was obviously small. As for Grandma Liu, it would be difficult for her to improve in this lifetime.
Xiao Chen was different. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old. As long as he had enough resources, his strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, the fifth-grade Desolate Skill “Thousand Ton Slash” in his hand was a type of resource. It was a relatively precious resource.
“Pa!”
However, Xiao Chen did not seem to be reluctant to part with such a precious Desolate Skill. He casually threw it on the table and said indifferently, “There is no such thing as an undeserved reward. Thank you, Miss Su, for your kindness.”
Su Qingyi and Grandma Liu looked at each other and were stunned.
How could a warrior resist the temptation of such a powerful Desolate Skill?
Xiao Chen cultivated so hard every day, proving that he urgently needed to improve his strength. Yet, he rejected it so decisively at this moment?
Was this really a young man who had yet to experience the world?
Su Qingyi quickly regained her composure and forced a smile, “What do you mean by there is no such thing as an undeserved reward?
You saved our lives. That is a great favor.
Furthermore, this Desolate Skill is given to you for free. You don’t need to do anything. ”
Xiao Chen still shook his head decisively and said, “You were able to help me find news of the Dragon Heart Grass. That is the greatest repayment to me.
This Desolate Skill is very precious. I do not like to take advantage of others. Of course … I do not like others taking advantage of me either. ”
“You are really a stone in the latrine. Smelly and hard!”
Su Qingyi sighed slightly and kept the secret skill. She looked at the indifferent Xiao Chen and felt like a porcupine that did not know where to start.
“Miss, Miss!”
At this moment, there were hurried footsteps coming from outside the courtyard. A maidservant lifted her skirt and ran in.
Su Qingyi frowned. Grandma Liu immediately sensibly pulled Xiao Chen out of the pavilion and started chatting.
The maidservant ran in and panted heavily. Then, she said nervously, “Miss, Miss Yue Mei ‘er awakened a third-grade Divine Gift this morning — Haste.
There is a big banquet today. The Young Clan Leader has already brought some people over. The Clan Leader asked you to bring some people over to keep an eye on things. ”
“What?”
Su Qingyi’s pretty face immediately turned pale. Her beautiful eyes were filled with helplessness and shock. After a while, she let out a turbid breath and muttered in a voice that only she could hear, “The Desolate God is too good to Yue Mei ‘er. The Heavens want our Su family to perish.”
