Back at the Su Estate.
As Su Chen reached his adobe, Jian Xin approached him as he was walking towards the door. "Oh my Young Master, how could you leave this me behind and go out? You must know that I am supposed to serve you. Those who don't know might even think that I am just a cleaner of this adobe."
Su Chen smiled. "This isn't my first time going to Jade Truth Pavilion after all, so it isn't a must to bring you along. You, are after all, not my cleaning servant, but the head of my internal affairs department."
Jian Xin giggled and laughed. "Thank you for your supportive words, Young Master. Today you have showed your G.o.dly might and became famous, affecting even me when I was managing the adobe. Today when the Brother Jing and the others saw me, they were all very polite."
"This fella, no wonder your tone is filled with happiness." Su Chen smiled and walked on.
Jian Xin closely followed behind. "However, it is also surprising, how did Young Master know that Su Yue has tampered with the carriage?"
Su Chen paused his steps and asked meaningfully, "Why? Are you trying to inquire on your young master's secrets?"
Jian Xin scratched the back of his head and smiled: "I am only being curious."
"Sure, I can tell you. I cannot see, so I naturally wouldn't know that Su Yue had tampered with the carriage. However, although I would not be able to find out, but there are others who can see. Someone warned me secretly, that's how I found out."
"Someone warned you?" Was it Ming Shu?"
Su Chen replied, "Ming Shu was with Zhou Hong. He wasn't around when Su Yue was tampering the carriage, how could he warn me? Let me tell you the truth, it was someone from Su Yue's side."
"What?" Jian Xin was utterly shocked.
Someone at Su Yue's side was working for Su Chen?
Su Chen seemed to have detected his speechlessness and lowered his voice, "Just keep this to yourself and do not ask any further."
"Understood, Young Master." Although he was unwilling, but Jian Xin had no other choice but to continue. "Do you have any instructions for me, Young Master?"
Su Chen was now at the door. "Nothing else, you can go. I would like to rest alone for a moment."
As he waved Jian Xin away, Su Chen entered his adobe.
Just as he about to step across the door, he paused his steps.
After standing for a moment, he turned his head and called out, "Jian Xin!"
"What's the matter, Young Master?" Jian Xin turned and ask.
"Go prepare some hot water for me. Right, use the basin in the second room instead."
"Yes." Jian Xin looked strangely at Su Chen ase he acknowledged.
Su Chen did not enter the adobe but remained outside.
After a moment, Jian Xin brought a basin of water and entered. The basin was made of bronze and was quite heavy, requiring Jian Xin to exert quite a bit of strength.
After placing the basin on the frame, Su Chen did not request to be served and told him to go meet his mother before he entered the abode.
After half opening the window, he felt around. Walking a step and a time before he reached the basin and holding onto it, allowing the steam to hit his face before he slowly said, "Since you did not attack immediately, I think we can have a chat."
No reply.
Su Chen smiled, he carried the bronze basin and turned his
Although the posture was simple but the defensive stance was performed to the most extreme.
Su Chen continued, "To be able to silently enter the Su Family, you must be an expert. However, I am already here, yet you still did not take any action. It's surely not because you are unable to kill me, it's likely because you were worried that I would struggle before I die and alarm the Su Family, right? You want to finish it in one strike? Unfortunately, I am now prepared, why would I give you the chance? Do not hide anymore, let's have a chat, the friend standing beside my bed."
His last sentence had utterly destroyed the psychological barrier of the person hiding in the dark corner.
A hoa.r.s.e voice replied, "I believed in my hiding abilities which could be considered good, how did you discover me?"
Along with the voice, a person in black clothes walked out from the shadows.
This person has been standing within the room all along, yet no one had discovered him. It was as though the person was born with the ability to blend their body into the darkness, achieving a stealth like result.
However, this type of stealth using darkness was obviously not all powerful. If preparations were made in advance, one could still notice if they observed in detail. If someone could even prepare to splash a basin of hot water, then there was no need to continue trying to deceive them.
Su Chen smiled. "A blind man does not use his eyes to judge if his adobe was occupied or not."
Correct, Su Chen discovered this person using his hearing.
When he was about to enter the adobe, Su Chen already felt there was someone within it. Although the person held his breath, but if their cultivation hadn't reach the Sun Initiation Realm, they would not be able to pause their heartbeat. The current environment was also relatively quiet while the distance between the two wasn't far, this allowed Su Chen to detect the person through his hearing.
Despite what he heard, he was unable to see anyone, and so,, Su Chen immediately realized that the other party came with ill intentions.
After considering what had happened over the past few days, Su Chen immediately managed to guess the ident.i.ty of this person.
He had guts. Even though he knew that the person was sent by Old Mulberry to kill him, he did not run and even acted like he did not know there was an enemy present and made preparations to face him.
Now that the a.s.sa.s.sin in black was forced out by him, the a.s.sa.s.sin snorted, "No wonder you can kill Lin Xie. You do have some skills. What would you like to talk about?"
Hearing those words caused Su Chen to smile without restraint.
He had guessed correctly, the other was someone sent by Old Mulberry. The incident only happened yesterday and he had already sent an a.s.sa.s.sin today. This Old Mulberry did things rather decisively.
However, it was a pity. One night was enough for Su Chen to make ample preparations.
"The thing I want to discuss is very simple. Iit's at the head of my bed. Although you have been standing there for a long time but you did not look under my pillow, right?" Su Chen smiled.
The person in black looked distracted before taking up the pillow.
Caution could be seen while taking up the pillow. The person seemed afraid that there would be some sort of trap, but the truth was,, there was none to be concerned about. Only a letter silently laid there.
"Open it, have a look." Su Chen said.
The person opened the letter, his face was covered in a black cloth which hid his expression, however, Su Chen believed that at this moment, the expression on the person in black was definitely not good.
This was because, contained within that letter was a record of the incident that happened in the forest yesterday.
He recorded every detail within it.
"Hmph!" After reading the letter, the person rolled it up and light it in flames, instantly turning it into ashes.
Powerful!
Su Chen said in his head. This person was definitely an Origin Master, and seeing how he could easily do something so difficult, he might even be a higher rank than Energy Guiding.
Is it Boiling Blood Realm or Sun Initiation Realm?
Sun Initiation wasn't likely. The patriarch of the Su Family was at the Sun Initiation Realm. People of that caliber would not lower themselves to a.s.sa.s.sinate a young master of a family clan.
At most, a Boiling Blood Realm. It was even more possible that he was a high stage Energy Guiding.
Su Chen was calculating in his heart.
The person in black did not know that Su Chen had the strength to calculate inwardly in this kind of scenario and said, "Do not think of using this method to deceive me. That letter was likely your final trump card. I can kill you now without any worries."
Su Chen pitifully said, "Are you an idiot? Did it not occur to you how can a blind man like me, can write a letter?"
The person in black stood stunned.
Su Chen viciously added another blow, "It is good that you tried to destroy the evidence quickly, a pity…you even lost the chance to identify the writer using the handwriting of the person."
