Outside the wooden house located in the valley of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, there was a muffled ’bang’ as the door was forcefully pushed open from outside. Hearing the commotion at the entrance, a young man imdiately walked out from inside the house. Seeing the person who had entered, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly went up to greet, "Master."
"Ancestor." At this ti, Su He also walked out from the room and respectfully called.
Su Cheng’en glanced at Su He and the young man without speaking a word, his face gloomy as he walked into his room. Su He was slightly stunned, imdiately realizing sothing was wrong, and quickly followed the young man into the room. Seeing Su Cheng’en sitting there with a dark expression, Su He didn’t dare to breathe heavily and stood honestly to the side. At this mont, he no longer had the deanor of the world’s greatest expert.
After a long while, Su Cheng’en slowly raised his head and directed his gaze towards Su He. Feeling the other’s stare, Su He lowered his head even further.
"Ling Chen didn’t die." Su Cheng’en opened his mouth, squeezing out a few words through his teeth, "The Heavenly List masters by his side are unhard."
Upon hearing this, Su He couldn’t help but ask, "Ancestor took action personally; it’s impossible for there to be a mistake..."
"You are right; this failure wasn’t due to my mistake but because of soone’s appearance. Su He, you were once the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, with many things under your responsibility, yet you have completely disappointed . Do you know who I encountered?"
Su He shook his head, feeling a bit uneasy. He knew all too well the strength of Su Cheng’en; the person who made Su Cheng’en return without success must be extraordinary.
"Ling Gengqiu." Su Cheng’en practically spat out the na through gritted teeth.
"This is impossible!" Su He’s expression changed dramatically, "He has been dead for so many years; how could he still be alive? Besides, wasn’t he dismbered by us?"
Seeing the look of shock on Su He’s face, Su Cheng’en coldly replied, "Never underestimate the mysteries of this world. Ling Gengqiu possesses immortality, a fact you and I both know well. Even though I dismbered him back then, his limbs never decayed. Haven’t you discovered this through all these years of research?"
"Back then, Ling Gengqiu’s severed limbs were stolen and scattered across various places. We mobilized so many resources from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion but never found their whereabouts. How did Ling Chen manage it?"
"I don’t care how he did it; all I know is none among you can compare to him. The Heavenly chanism Pavilion has gone through how many generations of Pavilion Masters? Yet there hasn’t been any gain. That Ling Chen found in just a few short years what you failed to uncover in centuries. Hmph! I want to ask you, has the Heavenly chanism Pavilion beco useless to this extent?"
Su He hastily apologized, "Ancestor, please calm down; it is our incompetence, failing your efforts."
"If you weren’t a descendant of the Su Family, I would really like to kill you." With a deep breath, Su Cheng’en cald his anger, and slowly said, "Since Ling Gengqiu has been resurrected, this matter is no longer yours alone."
Su He pondered Su Cheng’en’s intentions and said, "Is Ancestor planning to officially co out of seclusion?"
"What else could I do? Do you think you alone can contend with Ling Gengqiu? Ling Gengqiu’s strength hasn’t fully recovered, and this is our best opportunity."
"Ancestor, if there is anything you need from , just say the word. I will give it my all and will never let you down again," Su He declared with determination, clasping his fists.
"Rest assured, I still have use for you, so you are of significant value to right now. But don’t bla if I remind you — I do not wish to see you fail again; otherwise, don’t accuse of being impolite. Understood?" Su Cheng’en coldly admonished.
"Yes." Su He promptly responded.
"The current Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion is that little girl nad Su i. When you have the chance, bring her to see ."
Hearing this, Su He couldn’t help but be taken aback, asking with a puzzled expression, "Why does Ancestor want to see her? She’s just a little girl, unaware of anything."
"I know. However, Ling Chen’s power has already ford, and now with Ling Gengqiu aiding him, do you think the two of us can dismantle their power? Without leveraging the forces of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, we can accomplish nothing. To eliminate Ling Gengqiu and Ling Chen, the first step is to curb their power, and the Heavenly chanism Pavilion is undoubtedly the best choice."
"But... if that’s the case, she must know all the secrets."
Su Cheng’en replied coldly, "So what? I’m her ancestor; does she dare not listen to ?"
"No, that’s not what I an, I just... worry she won’t be able to handle it."
"A descendant of the Su Family won’t be that lacking." Pausing, Su Cheng’en shifted the topic: "If you don’t want her to know too much, that’s not difficult. Have you personally step in and take over the entire Heavenly chanism Pavilion. That way, I wouldn’t have to et that little girl."
Su He thought for a while, nodding: "I’ll give it a try and see if I can persuade her."
Stepping out of the wooden house, Su He looked at the familiar valley surroundings and couldn’t help but sigh softly. Originally intending to detach from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and let Su i develop on her own, considering the current situation, it seems that won’t be possible. The thought of eting with Su i gave Su He a bit of a headache.
He knew his granddaughter well, though she was the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, she was, after all, a woman, pure-hearted, and many dirty, bloody affairs were not suitable for her. Because of this, over the years, he had undertaken almost all the clandestine activities.
Unknowingly, Su He had reached the Yangxin Pavilion.
"You’re finally back."
The voice ca, and Su He turned to see Du Kang leaning against a big tree, holding a wine gourd, drinking by himself.
"You’ve worked hard during this period."
"Not really hard, I just did what I should do," Du Kang said blandly, "But I am curious why you have returned this ti. Is it to reminisce with her or sothing else?"
"That’s none of your concern; just handle what you’re responsible for," Su He replied, then walked straight towards the exit of the Yangxin Pavilion.
Watching Su He’s gradually disappearing back, Du Kang took a sip of wine, gently shook his head, and murmured to himself, "The Heavenly chanism Pavilion will probably never find peace."
Before long, Su He skillfully avoided the patrolling mbers of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and arrived directly outside the room where Su i lived.
Knock knock knock!
Accompanied by the sound of knocking, Su i’s sweet voice imdiately ca from inside the room: "Co in!"
