Chapter Nineteenth: The Su Family's Crisis

  During this period of Su Ming's cultivation, Su Han was often called away by the family steward, each time for several hours. Every time he returned, Su Han's face would be filled with some worry and concern. However, no matter how Su Ming asked, Su Han wouldn't say anything, which made Su Ming very suspicious.

  Every time he looked at Su Han's somewhat worn-out back, Su Ming's mood would involuntarily sink. What had happened after all? Had the Moonlight Tribe launched a war against the Su Tribe again?

  A few days later, the tribe leader sent a complete saber-toothed tiger corpse to Xiao Ming's family. Su Ming stared at the saber-toothed tiger with shining eyes, it had been a long time since he last ate tiger meat, and he had been craving for it.

  Three days later, Su Ming and Su Han will dissect the Sword Toothed Tiger and send it to Gu Lan and Xi Yu for roasting. In the next few days, Su Ming and his friends are destined to have a big feast.

  After a while, the four of them sat around the fire pit, chatting and laughing as they ate tiger meat.

  "Deputy leader, the clan elder requests your presence at the family inner court to discuss matters. Please proceed immediately." A family attendant walked into the courtyard and bowed to Su Han, saying so.

  "You two eat slowly, I'll be right back." Su Han heard the sound outside and smiled slightly at Su Ming's mother and son before getting up and walking out of the small courtyard with the family servant.

  Gu Lan sighed: "I knew this tiger meat wasn't easy to eat,"

  Su Ming's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a faint sense of unease arose in her heart: "Mother, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

  "Don't ask about this matter anymore, your main task now is to work hard and cultivate, strive to reach the Xiantian realm as soon as possible, and share some of the pressure with your father." Gu Lan put down the tiger meat, looking at the courtyard gate with a worried face.

  "Mother, the child is not small anymore, and the child's combat power has absolutely reached the late stage of Fang Xinjing. He can already share some pressure with Father, so just tell me." Su Ming said seriously, biting his teeth.

  Gulan furrowed his brow: "A mining area of the tribe was robbed, and more than a thousand warriors were killed or injured. Your uncle Su Xiao also died on the battlefield. When your grandfather learned about this news, he became so angry that he vomited blood and fainted."

  "Who did it?" Su Ming asked with a frown.

  "The people of the Tashibo tribe, they have been eyeing this mining area for a long time. This time, they sent out a mid-term innate expert and 5,000 tribal warriors to forcibly take over the mining area, killing all the guardians and capturing the miners who were then forced to work for them."

  "Isn't the Taishi tribe afraid that our Su clan will attack them?" Su Ming took a deep breath, calming down his slightly agitated emotions.

  "Our tribe's strength has been severely weakened, and the surrounding tribes have begun to take advantage of us. Our territory has shrunk by a third, and we are now facing the danger of extinction." Gulan said with a worried expression.

  "Isn't Father's pressure great now? Is he going to lead the troops on an expedition?"

  "Judging from the current situation, second-class late-stage demonic beasts are usually only rewarded to some of the great leaders' families who are about to go on an expedition. The mining area is crucial to our tribe's economic lifeline and must be taken back. However, there are currently less than 3,000 warriors available for deployment."

  "I believe in Father, he will definitely help the tribe to take back the mine." Su Ming clenched his fist and said in a low voice, knowing that if his father led the troops out, it would be a fierce battle.

  The four people who were originally smiling now became gloomy and sank into deep thought, unable to muster any interest in the fragrant tiger meat.

  After several hours, Su Ming stood on the training ground, wiping away the sweat from his face and exercising his arms, with his right hand clenched into a fist.

  Nineteen ninety-nine catties.

  As soon as his voice fell, his raised arms struck the giant stone like a thunderbolt.

  Boom

  A loud noise, and in an instant, several cracks appeared at the center of the giant stone, extending towards its edges.

  Su Ming lowered his head and took a glance, shaking his hand: "Finally succeeded in the second heavy repair, can go out and make some noise."

  After Su Ming left, a small team leader ran over to prepare to move the giant stone.

  "Over ninety percent... Young Master is indeed a martial arts prodigy, it seems he has the potential to surpass Su Han's leadership." The squad leader looked at the giant rock with a surprised expression.

  As soon as his hands touched the boulder, he was about to use force to move the boulder, but suddenly felt that the boulder had cracked again and turned into broken stones scattered on the ground.

  "Heaven and man in one?"

  He stared at the low-voiced gravel in stunned silence, feeling extremely incredulous...

  Su Ming returned to the courtyard and saw Xi Yu sitting in a daze, her delicate face filled with a faint melancholy that involuntarily evoked feelings of sympathy.

  "Yu Yaotou, what are you thinking about?" Su Ming walked to Xi Yu's side and asked in a low voice, afraid of startling her.

  "Ah, young master, you're back." Xiuyu was startled awake by Su Ming's voice and looked up to see him staring at her with his eyes wide open, his face suddenly flushing red.

  This girl actually blushed, and just now she was lost in thought, could it be that she was thinking of me? Su Ming's mouth corners slightly curled up, revealing a smug smile.

  "Young master, I was just thinking of my people earlier and got lost in thought. I didn't know you were back, please punish me." Xi Yu lowered her head, not daring to meet Su Ming's gaze.

  Furrowing his brow slightly, Su Ming rubbed his nose "Xi Yu, do you know where the Black Ghost Tribe is?"

  "Ah, young master, why are you asking this?" Xiru asked with a hint of puzzlement.

  "You forgot, I promised to help you avenge." Su Ming said with a faint smile.

  "Master, the leader said that you are not allowed to go out until you reach the Xiantian realm." Xiuyu reminded Su Ming with a flicker of her eyes.

  "I know, I'm just asking, how about it? Don't you want to tell me?" Su Ming said with a pretended casual tone, as if chatting idly.

  "Alright, I'll tell you." Xiǎo Yǔ's apologetic smile: "The Black Ghost Tribe is located southeast of the Su Tribe, about four or five kilometers away. The emblem on their tribe flag is a black specter."

  "I know." Su Ming patted Xi Yu's shoulder lightly after getting what he wanted: "Don't worry, I will avenge your grudge soon."

  One night passed, Su Han did not come back.

  The next day, a servant from the clan came to inform that Su Han led two thousand warriors to guard the border of the Su clan's territory and would not return for a short time.

  After the servant left, Gu Lan let out a long sigh. She knew that Su Huan must have been behind it, otherwise Su Han wouldn't have led only two thousand soldiers to the border and set off yesterday, and they had just found out today.

  These things were not told to Su Ming by Gulan, he was worried that Su Ming would act impulsively and do something, now that Su Han is not around, Su Huan will definitely think of a way to deal with them, so he didn't want Su Ming to get into trouble.
