Volume 1: Chapter 117 - Su Qiannian and Su Funian

  Su Dong suddenly discovered that his usually silly and extremely foolish brother actually had a very wild side!

  Su Dong took off Su Ning's necklace, as if releasing the devil in Su Ning's heart. He went crazy and attacked the forest, his two iron arms flying wildly, and in a short while, he trampled down more than a dozen large trees.

  Teleport!

  *sigh*

  Su Dong suddenly appeared beside Su Ning and put Su Ning's necklace back around his neck.

  Sigh~

  Su Ning let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground with a thud, holding his head in both hands, looking very distressed.

  Su Dong squatted down and pulled Su Ning over with one hand, asking softly, "Are you okay?"

  "My head is aching and I don't have any strength left." Su Ning replied honestly.

  Su Dong's eyebrows were tightly locked as he looked at Huan Yu, who shook his head repeatedly, indicating that Su Ning should hurry back to rest.

  "Go back and rest, this step consumes a lot of physical strength, I'll accompany you to practice again tomorrow."

  Su Ning stood up and saw the messy forest, couldn't help but be surprised, curiously asked: "What's going on here? Why have all the trees fallen down?"

  Su Dong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I just tried out a new move, it's nothing big."

  Su Ning completely forgot that he did all these things and looked at him with admiration: "Brother, you're really awesome!"

  Su Dong had no words to respond with, and could only bitterly smile.

  Watching Su Ning leave, Huan Yu sighed and said: "It's really a kind of spiritual power suppression, it's just that the suppression is too good, I didn't expect it. Usually Su Ning looks so silly, but he actually has such a ruthless side!"

  "Look at his crazy energy just now. It's completely on par with yours, the difference is that you have self-control and know how to manage your emotions, while Suning is totally impulsive! He doesn't consider the consequences at all!"

  Su Dong nodded slightly, this discovery made him very headache, and he was even more curious about Su Qi Nian. His father not only liked to oppose himself but also hid too many secrets.

  "No way. I'll go ask around." Su Dong said in a low voice.

  Just as I was about to get up and look for Su Qi Nian, I heard Su Qi Nian's voice beside me, "No need to look, I'm right here. What do you want to ask? Just ask."

  Su Qiannian let out a haha and appeared in front of Su Dong as if nothing had happened.

  Su Dong said: "About that pendant of Su Ning's? Is it used to control him?"

  Su Qi Nian took a glance at Su Dong and sat down on the trunk of a fallen large tree, gesturing for Su Dong to sit down as well.

  "The word 'control' sounds too harsh, I'd rather call it 'help', you also saw Suning's state just now, do you want Suning to become like that?" Su Qi asked.

  Su Dong shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, without Kunzi, Su Ning is afraid that he will lose control of himself. It's hard to say what will happen at that time."

  Su Qi looked around and said in a low voice, "This continent is vast and mysterious. When I took Su Ning in, I had already anticipated the difficulties we would face. You've seen it too. Su Ning is inherently kind-hearted, if controlled well, he can live like an ordinary person, not only harmless to others but also very good for them."

  Su Dong was taken aback, furrowing his brow: "So you used that pendant to suppress Su Ning's true nature? Where did that pendant come from anyway? And why is Su Ning's heart so turbulent?"

  Su Qiyan waved her hand and said illogically: "No need to ask, I won't tell you even if you ask."

  Su Dong was suddenly speechless. It's said that Su Qi Nian has a good temper, but that's just an appearance. In some things, his stubbornness is even worse than Su Dong's, for example those two damn peach blossoms, wherever Su Qi Nian goes, he brings them along, no matter how much Su Dong says, he won't listen.

  "So you're never going to tell me?" Su Dong said with outstretched arms.

  "When the time is right, you will know."

  Su Qiannian finished speaking and stood up, walking away with a carefree air.

  Xuan Yu looked at Su Qi Nian's back and said: "Su Dong, I found that your father has a very noble temperament!?"

  "What's so great about it? It's just pretending to be." Su Dong said irritably.

  It suddenly dawned on Su Dong that his perception had gone seriously awry, he couldn't even understand Su Ning, let alone Su Qiyan!

  According to Huan Yu's words, the Su family is full of secrets and monsters!

  ……

  From Hansheng City to Shengxing Imperial Capital, it's a full 1,500 miles. Along the way, more and more people can be seen pouring into the south, not just Hansheng City, but also large areas south of Hansheng City have begun to evacuate, and most of their destinations are the Imperial Capital.

  The rich are still okay, but the poor families are suffering. They hold big and small bundles, can't even afford a car, and struggle to move forward on the road.

  When hungry, they would casually eat some dry rations; when thirsty, they would fetch some river water to drink. Even the poorest of citizens were already relying on wild fruits and begging for survival.

  Su Qiannian was deeply moved by this, and every day he took out the prepared food for distribution. Unfortunately, there were too many monks and not enough porridge, so they could only temporarily save the lives of those poor people.

  Su Dong let the Ling Nong under his command distribute some spiritual medicine. These things were worthless in Su Dong's hands, but they were of great help to these common people. Getting sick on the road was often fatal, and Su Dong's spiritual medicine saved the lives of many common people.

  The Ling Beast clan played a crucial role in this retreat, and according to Su Dong's previous arrangement, their figures were active everywhere from north to south.

  Although Su Dong's initial intention was to force the southern empires to make a decision as soon as possible by using a large number of immigrants, and to fight a decisive battle with the Dark Blood Clan, it also saved many lives.

  The Ling Beast clan has unparalleled physical strength and is skilled at operating in mountainous areas, making them a rare rescue team.

  When they were only five days away from the Starry City, Su Dong decided to set off first and go ahead to arrange accommodations for everyone in the Starry City.

  Hei Yu and Su Dong set out together on a journey, taking advantage of one night to fly with Hei Yu's old man to the Starry City.

  The feng shui of the house was Su Dong's specialty, but with the influx of immigrants from the north in Fanchuan City, the housing prices had skyrocketed to more than ten times their original value. As a result, the silver notes in Su Dong's hands were flowing out like water, and in just a few days, he had spent 170,000 taels of silver.

  By the fifth day at noon, Su's team finally entered the city. Su Dong took his father and brother to his newly purchased mansion, where the Bai family lived next door, and the Ling Nong also lived next door, all of which were courtyards bought by Su Dong for them to live in.

  As for Zhou Xing's family, there was nothing to worry about. They were extremely wealthy and had a mansion in Star City from the beginning. Even several of Zhou Xing's proud apprentices lived with him together.

  Su Dong made some food and had lunch with his father and brother. For some reason, Su Qi's face didn't look too good, perhaps due to the exhaustion from rushing around all morning.

  "Nowadays, the Star City is almost at its population capacity limit, prices are rising every day. This chicken costs fifteen taels of silver, six pig trotters cost twenty-eight taels, and even ordinary rice is approaching five qian of silver." Su Dong sighed, pointing to the food on the table.

  Su Ning's eyes widened in shock, exclaiming: "Isn't that over a hundred taels for this meal? My goodness! We can afford it, but those common people certainly can't!"

  Su Qi Nian nodded slightly and praised: "Ning Er, you first thought of the common people, this makes your father very pleased. Unlike your brother, in such a chaotic world, he still spends money lavishly. It would be better to save some and buy food to help the disaster victims."

  Su Dong said with a bitter smile: "The refugees outside have already exceeded tens of millions, selling me wouldn't even be enough for everyone to get one steamed bun. Besides, it's the empire's responsibility to provide disaster relief, this is exactly when they need to step in, after all, they've been diligent in collecting taxes every day."

  Su Qiannian was silent and speechless, having seen too many tragedies along the way, which had caused a great change in his mentality. He drank alone, with a thoughtful expression.

  Just after lunch, Su Qi Nian had just thought of going to bed for a rest when someone outside called out at the door.

  Su Dong opened the door and found three strangers: a man over fifty, accompanied by two young men in their twenties.

  Su Dong was taken aback for a moment, these three people looked somewhat familiar?

  His physique was exceptionally good, this fifty-year-old man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his upper body presented a perfect inverted triangle shape, his two legs were straight and slightly thin, the other two young men were also like this.

  And their faces were surprisingly similar to Su Dong's father, Su Qi Nian!

  "What brings the three of you here?" Su Dong asked with a smile.

  Snap

  Before he could finish speaking, Su Dong was hugged by the man, very warmly, hugging him tightly, and then patted Su Dong's shoulder forcefully.

  Patter patter

  Those two young people were the same, and in the blink of an eye, Su Dong was hugged by these three strangers, and when they looked at them again, they all had a somewhat tearful look.

  "Are you Su Dong?" the man asked.

  "Not bad, but you guys..."

  That man was very impolite and directly entered the Su's house, opening his mouth loudly saying: "Third brother! Your big brother has come to see you!"

  That man walked away while talking, but Su Dong was held back by those two young people, who were being overly affectionate.

  "My name is Su Tingfeng, he's my brother, Su Tingyu, we're all cousins! Your dad is our Third Uncle!" exclaimed the slightly older Su Tingfeng.

  Boom!

  At this moment, Su Dong felt like he had two big heads, and he had never heard that his family still had relatives. Now, all of a sudden, there were three!

  "And who is this?" Su Dong asked, pointing at the big man in his fifties.

  "Su Fu Nian, our dad, you have to call him Big Uncle." Su Tingyu said from the side.

  Su Fu Nian looked very excited, standing in the courtyard and loudly shouting Su Qi Nian's name. Su Dong and Su Ning were somewhat at a loss, watching from the side.

  Just now, Suning was also caught in a bear hug by Su Fuyuan, but his attitude was obviously not as affectionate as he was with Su Dong, and there were a few suspicious eyes.

  "How did you get here?"

  After a while, Su Qi Nian hesitantly walked out of the room.

  As soon as they saw him, Su Tingfeng and Su Tingyu didn't say a word, turned around and kowtowed, saying: "Greetings, Third Uncle! We were worried to death about you!"

  Su Fu Nian walked over and threw a punch at his shoulder, Su Qi Nian hadn't practiced martial arts before and almost fell to the ground, wincing in pain.

  "It's been so many years since we last met, and you're still the same as when you were a kid, always getting into trouble." Su Fuyuan said with excitement, looking at Su Qinyuan again and again.
