At noon, when Su Yu just walked out of Qianhu Mansion, he saw Wu Ling walking towards Zhenwu Si.
Su Yu couldn't help but be startled, and then stepped forward to greet him.
"Ling'er, why are you here?"
Su Yu couldn't help but blame him: "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest at home?"
"Fourth brother asked us to go there for lunch."
Wu Ling smiled and said: "I thought about it and realized that I had nothing to do at home anyway, so I took a leisurely stroll to the Zhenwu Division."
"Then you should wait at home. Let's go there again after I get back." Su Yu shook his head and said:
Wu Ling nodded obediently, then took Su Yu's arm and said coquettishly: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. Next time, listen to you and walk quickly. Don't keep them waiting."
Su Yu smiled bitterly, Wu Ling obviously didn't take what he said seriously.
But he didn't have much to say, so the two of them walked straight towards the Wu family.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother."
Arriving at Wu's house, Su Yuyi greeted Wu Ling's four brothers one by one.
In addition, there were two women surrounding Wu Xuan.
Su Yu had a relationship with these two people, they were He Bixian and Nie Ling'er.
The two of them had fought in the street, and it was Su Yu who took Lu Ze there to maintain order.
Su Yu was keenly aware that the woman named He Bixian, whose pretty face was covered with frost, seemed to have encountered something troublesome.
"Here you come? Sit down quickly."
Wu Chen gave instructions to the people below: "Everyone has arrived, let's start serving the food."
The servants took the order and left, and within a short time, many carefully prepared monster meats were brought to the table one after another.
Waiting for the opportunity for the dishes to be served, Wu Chen looked at Su Yu and chuckled: "Brother-in-law, I told you, how are you thinking about it?"
Wu Ling naturally understood what Wu Chen meant, and couldn't help but look at Su Yu with a proud face, hoping that he would agree.
After all, in her opinion, Su Yu's strength will be greatly enhanced once he practices the Red Flame Art.
"Fourth brother, I thought about it and think it's still not appropriate."
Su Yu shook his head, and then said with a smile.
"oh?"
Hearing Su Yu's refusal, Wu Chen couldn't help but be startled, and then asked in confusion: "Can you tell me what you think?"
Even Wu Cang and the others couldn't help but look at Su Yu in surprise, as if they didn't understand why he refused Wu Chen's proposal to let him practice the Red Flame Art.
As the Holy Son of the Star-Moon Holy Land, Wu Xuan practiced the Star-Moon Manual, but he still practiced the Red Flame Technique.
The Star and Moon Book allows him to use the stars and moon in the sky to speed up his cultivation, while the Red Flame Art can speed up his battle against enemies.
When the enemy responded to his attack, he also used his energy to resist the burning in his body.
In a battle of the same level, under the circumstances of the ebb and flow, practicing the Red Flame Art almost gives you a certain advantage first.
And this advantage will only increase as the battle becomes more intense.
In their view, Su Yu marrying Wu Ling is equivalent to becoming a member of the Wu family, and it is certain that he will practice the Red Flame Art.
But he never expected that he actually rejected Wu Chen's proposal and refused to practice the Red Flame Art
Even Wu Ling couldn't help but be startled, and said anxiously with a pretty face: "Su Yu, practicing the Red Flame Art has many benefits for you, what do you think?"
For others, practicing the Red Flame Jue naturally has many benefits.
But for me, practicing the Red Flame Jue seems a bit useless.
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He couldn't bear to spend fifteen points of attributes to practice this thing.
In comparison, as long as he can advance to the Hidden Dragon Realm, practicing the Red Flame Jue will have even less effect on him.
Of course, the characteristics of the Red Flame Jue can still have very good effects in battles between warriors of the same realm.
It's just that for enemies in the same realm, Su Yu can easily defeat them with the means he currently has without practicing the Red Flame Art.
In this case, practicing the Red Flame Art is a waste of your time.
It's just that Su Yu forgot that if he refused to practice the Red Flame Art, he would need to find a reasonable reason.
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Su Yu chuckled and said, "Fourth brother, that's what I personally think."
"I am now a Qianhu of Zhenwu Division, but because of the special nature of my Bronze Skin Realm cultivation, there are almost no tasks that require me to participate in actual combat."
"So for now, I think I should spend more time and energy on improving my cultivation."
"Being immersed in practicing martial arts will delay my improvement in cultivation."
"As for practicing the Red Flame Art, it is mainly suitable for battles between warriors."
"But now with my identity and status, there is no need for me to participate in the battle."
"In that case, wouldn't practicing the Red Flame Art be a waste of time?"
"Perhaps when I become successful in my cultivation in the future, it won't be too late to practice the Red Flame Art."
After saying these words, Su Yu couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
I didn't expect that I would have to explain in a long way why I didn't practice the Red Flame Art.
If outsiders knew that he had the opportunity to practice Wu family's ground-level martial arts, but Su Yu refused this opportunity, I don't know how he would feel.
After hearing Su Yu's explanation, Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "You are right, but I lacked consideration."
He wanted Su Yu to practice the Red Flame Art before, hoping that he would have stronger combat power.
But now Su Yu's words made him realize that his idea was not as thoughtful as Su Yu thought.
As Su Yu said, he doesn't have many opportunities to fight with others now.
Even if he practiced the Red Flame Art, he would have no use for it.
In this case, the most appropriate choice is to focus your time and energy on improving your cultivation.
Wu Chen said again: "If you need to practice the Red Flame Art in the future, you can come to me."
"Okay." Su Yu nodded.
"I called you and Ling'er over for lunch today, and there is one more thing."
Wu Chen glanced at the maid on the side. The maid immediately understood and took out jade bottles from the space ring in her hand and placed them on the table.
Wu Ling looked at the densely packed jade bottles and couldn't help but ask: "Fourth brother, what is this?"
Su Yu couldn't help but was startled. He had just heard the gossip from He Bohong this morning, saying that a batch of unicorn blood from the Qilin Sect that was presented to the imperial court was stolen.
Now Wu Chen took out twenty bottles of Kirin blood in one go
Could this Qilin blood be stolen from the Qilin Gate?
But then I thought about it, with the current financial resources of the Wu family, it seems that there is no need to steal it, just use the money ability to buy it.
Anyway, the price of a bottle of Kirin blood is only about 10,000 yuan crystals.
Wu Ling's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he lost his voice and said: "Qilin blood? Is it the Qilin blood produced in Qilin Sect?"
"good."
Wu Chen nodded and chuckled: "I arranged for someone to spend money to buy some. There are a total of twenty bottles of Qilin blood here. You and your brother-in-law will have ten bottles each."
When Su Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, this fourth brother-in-law is really awesome.
He was also thinking about how to get a few bottles of Qilin blood to see if he could get attribute points for himself.
Unexpectedly, Wu Chen directly used his money power to complete this matter.
"Fourth brother, are these all for us?"
Su Yu couldn't help but said: "What about eldest brother, second brother, and third brother?"
Wu Chen chuckled and said, "I gave them ten bottles each."
"It's not that I don't give more, but that as a warrior, after taking ten bottles of Kirin blood, and continuing to take Kirin blood, the effect will be minimal."
"Ten bottles is just right."
Su Yu nodded, then smiled and said, "Thank you, fourth brother."
He couldn't help but be curious about how many attributes these ten bottles of Qilin blood would allow him to gain.
By the time he and Wu Ling each put ten bottles of Qilin's blood into their space rings, all the dishes on the table had been served.
Su Yu looked at the dazzling array of dishes and couldn't help but sigh, Wu Chen is really a master who knows how to enjoy.
I'm afraid just a meal like this would cost hundreds of yuan crystals, right?
"Now that the dishes have been served, let's start using your chopsticks."
After Wu Chen finished speaking, everyone at the table began to feast, but He Bixian, who was sitting next to Wu Xuan, had no intention of moving her chopsticks.
Her pretty face was a little ugly, and her eyes were red as she looked at Wu Chen sitting opposite.
Wu Xuan gave her several pieces of monster meat, but she had no intention of eating it.
Seeing the strange atmosphere, Su Yu couldn't help but speed up his eating movements.
He could keenly notice that He Bixian looked at Wu Chen with deep hatred.
This made him puzzled. When did Wu Chen provoke He Bixian again?
He glanced at Wu Chen from the corner of his eye. He was enjoying the food the maid put into his mouth, and seemed not to notice He Bixian's gaze at all.
"Crack!"
Just when she was halfway through eating, He Bixian finally couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly slapped the table and stood up suddenly.
This sudden scene made everyone stop using their chopsticks.
"Bixian, it's dinner time now. What's the matter? We can't talk about it until after dinner?"
Wu Xuan took He Bixian's hand and told her to wait until after dinner to talk about anything.
"No, I can't eat it, I have to ask clearly!"
He Bixian's eyes were red and her voice became choked.
She stared straight at Wu Chen who was sitting opposite, and then said in a deep voice: "Wu Chen, answer me honestly, were you the ones who killed my brother He Bilu and my brother He Bijin?
"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire living room suddenly froze.
Wu Xuan also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Bixian, you can't suspect that your fourth brother did something without any basis."
He Bixian glanced at Wu Xuan disappointedly, and then said angrily: "I didn't doubt him out of thin air."
Wu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Then what evidence do you have that your brother He Bilu and your brother He Bijin died at the hands of the Wu family?"
"Because only he has this motive!"
He Bixian said coldly: "The Xie family in Yuanzhou suffered a murderous attack by a mysterious person, and the Xie family's properties became a hot spot for the He family, the Luo family, and the Wu family to compete for."
"My father took his people to Yuanzhou in person, hoping to get a share of the Xie family's properties."
"But my brother He Bilu and my brother He Bijin were shot dead with crossbows in the Jiaofang Division of Wanling City!"
"When my father heard the news, he evacuated from Yuanzhou overnight and rushed back to Lingzhou."
"Tell me, why are the times so coincidental?"
"When the three families were competing for the Xie family's property, my brother He Bilu and my brother He Bijin died in Jiaofangsi?"
"And did you know? There were more than thirty penetrating wounds on their bodies, all caused by crossbows!"
"This is obviously a premeditated assassination!"
"A crossbow is worth up to 10,000 yuan crystals. Who can organize a crossbow team of more than fifty people?"
Hearing this, Wu Xuan couldn't help but fell silent.
Fifty crossbows are worth up to half a million yuan crystals.
Also, cultivating such a team requires a lot of energy and material resources. How can ordinary people play like this?
But how could he believe that his brother would arrange for someone to assassinate his brother-in-law and brother-in-law?
Hearing such exciting news, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.
This really seemed like something Wu Chen could do.
Although the Wei Dynasty explicitly banned weapons such as bows and crossbows.
But the existence of rules gives people who don't abide by the rules the opportunity to gain huge benefits.
Wu Chen just happens to be the kind of person who doesn't follow the rules.
"It seems that the last time I investigated the case of someone secretly manufacturing crossbows, the financial backer was indeed Wu Chen."
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
He Bixian looked at Wu Chen again, and then said in a deep voice: "Wu Chen, my brother He Bilu, and my brother He Bijin, did you send people to kill them in order to compete for the Xie family's property?"
At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at Wu Chen.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wu Chen said calmly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Crossbows are something that is explicitly prohibited by the Wei Dynasty. How could Wu use such a thing?"
"There are nine great martial arts families in the Wei Dynasty. Why do you suspect that I ordered people to do this?"
"As for the fight for the Xie family's properties, why didn't I send people to kill the people from the Luo family in Liangzhou, but I focused on the people from the He family?"
When He Bixian heard this, her tone couldn't help but hesitated, but she still said in a deep voice: "Wu Chen, I know it's you, and it must be you!"
Speaking of this, her heart was filled with grievances.
As Wu Xuan's partner, Wu Xuan's brother sent people to kill his family.
When she just heard the news, her whole body felt like her feet were dangling in the air, as if she was falling into an abyss!
"I am Wu Xuan's wife. Do you still have a conscience when you treat the He family unscrupulously?" He Bixian said with tears in her eyes.
"Oh."
Wu Chen sneered, and then said slowly: "Let's not talk about whether I sent people to kill your brother and brother."
"Tell me now, you are half of the Wu family, how can I use any means to deal with the He family?"
"Then you can ask your father He Ci. When the Wu family spent millions of yuan crystals to open the animal trap in Wanling City, the He family only needed to provide connections and they could split all the profits from the animal trap fifty-fifty!
"
"After my father Wu Yuanpan disappeared, your father He Ci unilaterally tore up the contract and took the animal trap set up by the Wu family in Wanling City as his own!"
"At that time, did your father regard the Wu family as his in-laws?"
After hearing Wu Chen's words, He Bixian couldn't help but look a little pale.
She has been in the Holy Land of Stars and Moons all year round and is not aware of the cooperation between the Wu family and the He family. Naturally, she is not aware of the fact that the animal trap in Wanling City was unilaterally taken over by He Ci.
He Bixian's lips moved, and then she said: "Even if the matter of the animal trap in Wanling City is the fault of the He family."
"But business is a business matter. How can it be compared with human life? How can it be."
"Human life?"
When Wu Chen heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up with a cold smile, and he said slowly: "Since we are talking about life, we have to think about it more carefully."
"A few months ago, my father encountered the Ghost Emperor of Hell Gate in Tianyao City, and a battle broke out between the two sides. After the battle, my father's whereabouts are still unknown."
"Hell Gate has always used money to do things."
"If no one paid for my father's life, why would Hell Gate deliberately assassinate my father in Tianyao City?"
"Then tell me, if my father dies, who will benefit the most?"
Hearing Wu Chen's words, He Bixian's pretty face couldn't help but tremble.
Wu Chen continued: "On the third day after my father's death, I received news that the other eight aristocratic families tacitly unilaterally tore up their cooperation with the Wu family and took the animal traps in their respective territories as their own.
have!"
"This cooperation caused the Wu family's vitality to be severely damaged, and even almost fell apart due to internal fighting!"
"If I had not succeeded in becoming the head of the Wu family, it is simply unimaginable what kind of situation the Wu family would have been in."
"I'm asking you now, my father was assassinated by the Hell Sect Ghost Emperor in Tianyao City. Although I have no evidence, can I guess that the other eight martial arts families secretly contacted the Hell Sect and planned the assassination?"
Su Yu on the side couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this.
He was there to witness the battle that night. Based on the conversation between Wu Yuanpan and Kong Zhentu, it was almost certain that the eight major martial arts families pooled their money to assassinate Wu Yuanpan.
Once Wu Yuanpan dies, the siege of the Wu family and the other eight martial arts families will no longer be preserved.
What surprised Su Yu was that after Wu Chen learned the news, he immediately figured out who the client behind the scenes was.
"When it comes to the family level, it's already beyond our control."
"Even if the two parties have a good personal relationship, in the face of absolute interests, what does this personal relationship mean?"
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
As He Bixian is Wu Xuan's partner, it stands to reason that the Wu family and the He family can be regarded as in-laws.
But He Ci acquiesced to the practices of the other seven martial arts families, and did not even inform Wu Yuanpan of the matter in advance, but chose to participate.
Then if you are in the first year of junior high school, you can't blame the Wu family for being in the fifteenth year.
Even in his opinion at the time, with Wu Yuanpan's death, the Wu family might face the end of falling apart.
But what I never expected was that Wu Chen turned the tide with his incomplete body, stabilized the situation abruptly, and even became the head of the Wu family, taking the Wu family to a new level.
Su Yu didn't need to think about it to know how dangerous these roads were.
If Wu Chen makes a wrong move, the current Wu family may be reduced to a second-rate martial arts family, and will no longer be able to keep pace with the other eight martial arts families.
Within a few months, Wu Chen not only brought the Wu family out of trouble, but even took advantage of the Xie family's troubles in Yuanzhou and swallowed up most of the Xie family's property in one fell swoop.
It is really unimaginable that Wu Chen could realize all of this with all his limbs broken.
"Fourth brother, you mean that my father was assassinated by Hell Gate and was carried out by other eight martial arts families?"
Wu Ling's eyes turned red and he murmured.
Wu Chen couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered that Wu Ling was here too.
Looking at Wu Ling who was holding back from crying, Wu Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "Ling'er, don't speculate on baseless things."
He didn't want Wu Ling to face the dark sides of his family, but he also hoped that Wu Ling could live a carefree life under his protection.
After saying that, Wu Chen looked at Su Yu and said with a smile: "Su Yu, take Ling'er back first. The Chinese New Year is tomorrow. Ling'er and several brothers finally got together once. You two come over to eat tomorrow.
New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Su Yu knew that he was deliberately trying to separate himself and Wu Ling.
And he really has no intention of staying here anymore.
"Okay, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, Ling'er and I will go back first and wait for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he took Wu Ling, who was feeling depressed, and left the Wu Mansion.
As for how the follow-up development will unfold, Su Yu has no intention of knowing.
However, He Bixian discussed business and life separately. She must have wanted to put aside the facts and not talk about friendship, but unexpectedly Wu Chen used this to defeat her.
"Oh, this is a fight between big families."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
For the benefit of each other, families will inevitably use some dirty and shameful methods and stray outside the rules.
But when one of the parties chooses not to abide by the rules, then they can no longer blame the other party for not abiding by the rules.
"Don't cry. It's all over. Your father just disappeared. Maybe he's still alive and well."
When Su Yu took Wu Ling home, he pinched her pretty face and made a funny expression, and comforted her with a smile.
Although he also knows that such hope is very slim, but comforting someone means picking up the words that the other person likes to hear.
When Kong Zhentu urged Emperor Hades to kowtow at the stele for the second time, he happened to be at the scene.
Xiao Xinghan, as a warrior in the Soul Palace realm, had all died with no bones left due to that heaven-level martial skill.
Whether Wu Yuanpan died in that move or escaped by luck is yet to be determined.
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wu Ling felt relieved. He nodded heavily and said, "Su Yu, you are right. My father just disappeared. Maybe he had escaped long ago."
Su Yu smiled and said: "Maybe your father knew that someone wanted to kill him and hid secretly."
After some comfort from Su Yu, Wu Ling became much more relaxed.
After comforting Wu Ling and calling Mei Ji and Shi Shi to accompany him, Su Yu walked to Zhenwu Division with peace of mind.
Arriving at Zhenwusi's own room, Su Yu took out a bottle of Qilin blood from the space finger, opened the cork, poured a few drops into his hand and examined it carefully.
Kirin blood appears light red, as if the blood has been diluted to a certain extent by water.
"It's similar to what is said outside. The drop of real Qilin blood was put into the spring, causing the spring water to become Qilin Spring."
Looking at the Qilin blood in his hand, Su Yu's eyes flashed with a strange light and he murmured in a low voice.
However, he did not take it immediately. Instead, he created a clone and let the clone taste it first.
Although Kirin blood is rare, it is insignificant compared to one's own life.
Su Yu then used the perspective of the clone to observe the changes in his body.
After waiting for an hour to pass and confirming that there was no abnormality in the clone's body, Su Yu drank the bottle of Kirin blood.
"Open the system panel!"
After waiting for another half an hour, Su Yu thought silently in his heart.
[Host]: Su Yu
【Shouyuan】:immortality
[Cultivation]: Early stage of Yu Leap Realm
[Martial Arts]: Cun Yan (Limit Breaking Technique) Skywalking (Limit Breaking Technique) Thousand Faces (Limit Breaking Technique) Blood Dance in the Sky (Limit Breaking Technique) Ji Dao Blood Pupil (Limit Breaking Technique) Fishing for the Moon in a Well (Limit Breaking Technique)
[Alchemy]: Blood Qi Powder (entry level) + Vitality Pill (entry level) + Ding Yan Dan (not yet entry level)
[Attribute]: 0 points
Seeing that the attribute column was still empty, Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Although he had expected it for a long time, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw that he didn't get any attributes from it.
"According to my speculation, the ten bottles of Kirin blood in my hand, diluted with water, are about the same as one bottle of dragon blood."
Su Yu couldn't help but shook his head.
He now possesses the cultivation level of Yu Leap Realm, and his physical strength has reached a certain height.
Qilin Blood mainly serves warriors who are under the Yuyue Realm.
And the most important point is that Qilin blood is diluted with water.
In other words, the ten bottles of Qilin blood in his hand may be similar to the bottle of dragon blood in his hand.
Thinking of this, Su Yu then took out the other nine bottles of Qilin blood from the space finger, and then drank them all.
After waiting for another half an hour, Su Yu opened the system panel again.
In the attribute column, a few attributes appeared again.
"If I refine the Qilin Spring inside the Qilin Gate and get that drop of real Qilin blood essence and drink it, how many attributes can I gain?"
Su Yu put away the system panel and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Qilin is a first-order divine beast, and a drop of its blood must contain extremely majestic power.
It is estimated that it was for this reason that the first sect leader of the Qilin Sect chose to dilute it in the spring water after receiving the drop of blood essence.
If you take that drop of Kirin essence and blood directly, you may not be able to withstand the power and end up dead.
After being heavily diluted with spring water, Kirin blood has become a good training resource for warriors.
