Chapter 1311: Chapter 1310: Choose Freely
"He was very serious and angry at the time, and warned me not to touch those flowers and plants in the future; otherwise, he would definitely not let me stay," said Shen Rushuang.
Something flickered in Shen Yunlong’s eyes. Could it be possible that there was a secret underground that couldn’t be shared with outsiders, so when Shen Rushuang turned the soil, he reacted so strongly?
Isn’t it just some flowers and plants? Why is it worth making such a fuss? If there’s really a secret underground, what could it be?
Xingluo sent more people over and started inquiring about the whereabouts of the previous group. It’s highly likely that something happened to them, or they might already be dead.
Dead? Underground?
Could it be that Su Changfeng killed Xingluo’s three people and buried them directly in the garden of the villa?
If true, Shen Yunlong has found an opportunity to topple Su Changfeng. As long as he exposes the secret in the garden in front of the Xingluo’s envoy, Xingluo definitely won’t spare Su Changfeng.
Shen Yunlong is elated; that which he cannot attain, he will utterly destroy.
"Alright then, you hurry back. As for the flowers and plants matter, I’ll keep an eye out for you," said Shen Yunlong.
Shen Rushuang nodded, packed up her things, and left the Shen Family Mansion.
In the afternoon, Shen Yunlong received news that three people from Xingluo left the inn and headed directly to Su Changfeng’s place.
Shen Yunlong was excited; he never expected, having received news from Shen Rushuang in the morning, to find an opportunity by the afternoon. He didn’t dare to delay and hurried to Su Changfeng’s location.
Meanwhile, in the villa.
Wang Junyi rushed over, looking anxious, and said to Su Changfeng, "Master, Xingluo’s people are on their way here. They must be coming for you."
"Let them come, why the rush?" Su Changfeng replied calmly.
How could Wang Junyi stay calm? If he didn’t know earlier that those people died by Su Changfeng’s hand, he probably wouldn’t be this way.
"Master, aren’t you worried at all?" Wang Junyi asked curiously.
Su Changfeng shook his head, indicating he wasn’t worried at all, not even planning to concern himself with this matter. If they want to make things difficult for him, he’ll simply kill them.
After all, along Tianyuan Road, Su Changfeng is not without options, so he has nothing to worry about. Even though he hasn’t found Chen Qingqing yet, he will eventually.
"If you’re afraid, then get lost and don’t cause trouble here," Su Changfeng said, waving his hand.
But at such a moment, how could Wang Junyi leave?
"Then I’ll go cool off and calm down," Wang Junyi chuckled and ran to the back.
Although Qiutang Yu’er seemed calm, Su Changfeng could tell her eyes weren’t as composed as she appeared, faintly carrying a trace of hostility.
"Yu’er, why don’t you stay in the room for a while?" Su Changfeng suggested.
"Do you know who they are?" Qiutang Yu’er asked, puzzled.
Although Su Changfeng didn’t know what she meant, he didn’t need to know, replying, "In your current state, it’s not suitable for you to meet them."
"Qingmu is a master nearing the Ninth Rank. Xingluo dispatched ten teams to chase the Qiutang Clan; he led one. His hands are stained with the Qiutang Clan’s blood. My nanny told me that Qingmu killed my father," Qiutang Yu’er stated.
Su Changfeng frowned. No wonder Qiutang Yu’er’s emotions were unstable, given that the opponent is her father’s killer.
Hence, Su Changfeng would definitely not let Qiutang Yu’er appear before Qingmu, to avoid her losing control of her emotions.
"Why don’t you go out for a walk? You’ve been staying here for a while; it’s time to see the world," Su Changfeng suggested.
Qiutang Yu’er approached Su Changfeng, seriously saying, "I want to see him myself. When I avenge my father, I need to be sure I’ve killed the right person."
Qiutang Yu’er’s voice gradually lost control, a wave of uncontrollable hostility emerging, causing Su Changfeng to frown. He didn’t think this was a normal reaction.
In her current state, it’s hard to say that Qingmu won’t notice something amiss. Not to mention revenge—it could lead to the eventual demise of the last Qiutang scion.
"If you truly intend to avenge, you should avoid it. Now, with your current state, Qingmu will surely notice," Su Changfeng emphasized.
Qiutang Yu’er shook her head.
Just then, Shen Rushuang suddenly emerged from the room, interrupting the conversation.
"Don’t worry, I will restrain myself," Qiutang Yu’er quietly assured.
Su Changfeng sighed. With Qiutang Yu’er’s firm stance, he had no other option.
Soon, Qingmu and his group arrived.
This was Su Changfeng’s first encounter with an Eighth-rank Expert; their aura was undeniably incomparable to ordinary people. Even compared to the previous Seventh-rank experts, there was a considerable gap.
Just standing silently gave an overwhelming feeling akin to being crushed by a mountain.
"You have finally arrived," Su Changfeng greeted coolly.
Qingmu stepped forward and cupped his hands to Su Changfeng; such an etiquette was quite respectful, especially for someone nearing Ninth Grade in skills.
"We wanted to see you sooner, but were delayed by earlier matters. I hope Mr. Ye understands," Qingmu said.
Seeing Qingmu’s attitude alleviated Wang Junyi’s tension; subconsciously, he straightened his back. Since they respected his master so much, and as the master’s disciple, he certainly couldn’t disgrace him.
"Whatever you wish to say, just say it directly," Su Changfeng instructed.
"Xingluo values talent the most, hence Emperor dispatched us here to invite Mr. Ye to Xingluo. You can freely choose any internal position," Qingmu offered.
Wang Junyi’s eyes widened at the idea of freely choosing internal positions, implying his master could be a person of great authority.
"If I refuse, Xingluo wouldn’t make things hard for me, would they?" Su Changfeng queried.
"Of course not, Mr. Ye. With your current abilities, Xingluo’s interest in recruiting you is natural. Regarding your decision, Xingluo won’t intervene; it’s entirely up to your will. But I hope Mr. Ye considers it thoughtfully. Xingluo offers a position that others cannot," Qingmu responded.
