Madam Wu has been extrely unlucky these days. So ti ago, her daughter-in-law was beaten until she looked like a pig's head by a young man in public, which completely embarrassed the Wu Family's century-old reputation.
After that, several of the masters sent to take revenge on the young man suddenly disappeared without a trace, and there's still no news to this day.
Therefore, Madam Wu has been quite irritable these past few days. She didn't expect an uproar so early in the morning, which made her very displeased.
"Madam, please take a look."
A servant helped Madam Wu to the front, and as soon as she saw the piled-up corpses in front of her, her vision darkened, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, there were people on both sides to support her, so she didn't fall.
"Who did this?!"
Madam Wu scread with a shrill voice, her face showing a deep malevolence!
Hearing Madam Wu take charge, everyone else trembled with fear and didn't dare to utter a breath...
In fact, Wu Jingui and Wu Yuanpin, the uncle and nephew pair, both knew who did it, but they had their reasons for not speaking up.
Wu Jinjun, the Family Head of the Wu Family, was utterly baffled and muttered,
"What on earth is going on?"
"Go, ask the Rank Leader to co here."
Madam Wu ordered her personal maid.
Soon, a person in a purple robe walked over.
"Madam, may I know why you've called for ?"
The person in the purple robe asked respectfully.
"Take a good look for yourself!"
Madam Wu huffed angrily, with a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.
The others also stepped aside a bit to allow the person in the purple robe to see.
As for the identity of this person in the purple robe, apart from a few core mbers of the Wu Family, most people didn't know, but they were aware that the core mbers of the Wu Family treated him with great respect.
When the person in the purple robe saw the scene at the entrance, he too was shocked!
Weren't these the people he had sent out to deal with that young man?
How did their corpses end up here?
"Madam, perhaps we should have soone take care of the bodies first."
The person in the purple robe subtly signaled Madam Wu with his eyes.
"Fine, eldest, take care of it,"
Madam Wu told her eldest son Wu Jingui, who naturally agreed.
Madam Wu knew the person in the purple robe had sothing to say to her, so she went straight back to her room, and the person in the purple robe followed.
After returning to the room, Madam Wu first sent all the servants away, then turned to the person in the purple robe and said,
"Speak your mind."
"Madam, I'm afraid that group of people we sent before is likely more dead than alive," the person in the purple robe sighed.
"I've already figured as much. Tell sothing useful,"
If Madam Wu couldn't even think of that, she wouldn't deserve to have controlled the Wu Family for so many years.
"The Assassin's power has at least reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinent, which is the strength of a Third Rank Leader; otherwise, this couldn't have happened. Of course, it could be even higher!"
The person in the purple robe pondered briefly before speaking.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
Madam Wu was shocked and hastily asked,
"Are you saying that young man has already..."
"No, it's absolutely impossible for it to be that young man. He's only in his twenties; how could his Cultivation have reached the Fourth Layer or even higher?"
The person in the purple robe shook his head repeatedly, not believing it could be the act of that young man.
To know, he himself had only reached the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinent at the age of thirty-eight and was already considered quite talented.
How could soone in their early twenties possibly achieve that?
"So you an, there's a master beside him?"
Madam Wu analyzed and inquired.
"That's likely the case, otherwise, there's no other explanation."
"Are you sure it wasn't that young man?"
Madam Wu did not understand much about martial arts, so she had no choice but to consult the man in the purple robe.
"Definitely not!"
The man in the purple robe had no doubt about it!
"That's good, as long as it's not him himself, there will always be an opportunity!"
After this incident, Madam Wu's determination to kill Su Chen had not only remained unchanged but had grown even stronger!
.....
anwhile, in a villa at the Grand Epoch Court.
Lin Ruoxue was eating breakfast while spacing out, her expression sowhat vacant.
"Miss, your chopsticks are upside down,"
Wang Ma sighed as she watched Lin Ruoxue's abnormal behavior.
"Oh."
Lin Ruoxue saw that they were indeed upside down, and Wang Ma handed her a new pair of chopsticks.
"Miss, what on earth did the young master go off to do?"
Wang Ma was also baffled; she had not seen the young master this morning and had found the miss asleep on the couch.
Wang Ma felt compelled to ask, and Lin Ruoxue simply said that Su Chen had sothing to do and would be away for a while.
Seeing the miss so distraught, Wang Ma couldn't help but ask again.
"I don't know."
Lin Ruoxue murmured. Suddenly, she felt as if she and Su Chen were worlds apart.
Although they had always lived together, she knew nothing of his past; she was even in the dark about what he was doing yesterday.
This feeling of helplessness made Lin Ruoxue very uncomfortable; she didn't know if he was hungry, cold, or in danger right now.
The only thing she could do besides waiting seed to be... nothing at all.
"No, this won't do. If he returns safely this ti, I must integrate into his life! Otherwise, what am I to do the next ti he is in trouble? Just wait helplessly, unable to do anything?"
Lin Ruoxue made up her mind!
Wang Ma had always been worried about the lack of intimacy between the two, but now there seed to be no need to worry about that. Seeing the miss's condition made it clear how important the young master was to her.
But this only made Wang Ma more concerned for the miss, fearing she wouldn't hold up.
"Wang Ma, I've lost my appetite; I'm going to work now,"
Lin Ruoxue stood up and said, feeling as if she had no appetite without him around.
"Miss, have a little more to eat, you've hardly touched anything!"
"It's okay, I can eat at the office if I get hungry,"
Lin Ruoxue squeezed out a thin smile and then walked out the front door...
......
In Malacca City, the mont Su Chen approached the castle, two people ca up to him:
"Excuse , are you Mr. Su?"
"Hmm,"
Su Chen nodded.
"Please follow us, Mr. Su."
The two guided Su Chen further inside. Honestly, he had visited several of Sea King's residences before, but this was his first ti coming to this castle in Malacca.
After passing through several winding corridors, Su Chen finally entered the grand hall of the castle.
The hall was spacious, with sparse furnishings, giving it an open feel. In the center stood a large armchair, covered in a thick velvety blanket.
Sitting atop it was a blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerner with deep-set eyes and prominent cheekbones. His hair was tied into a small braid, which made him look quite trendy, and he was wearing a pair of boots.
At the mont, he was tapping one foot on the chair, half-leaning, with a pretty young girl on each side massaging him.
The most extravagant part was that there was even a young girl specifically feeding him...
Upon entering and witnessing the scene, Su Chen was montarily stunned!
Is this guy the Sea King or so kind of feudal lord...
