As soon as the Crazy Demon Knife was used, Su Xin killed Zhao Ling smoothly.
"He clearly planned to kill people, but he didn't leave any words for his opponent. What a scary little guy." Yuan Qing smiled softly, "It's a pity that he is only in the True Martial Realm and has never broken through to the sea. Otherwise, he could catch up.
This year’s imperial city hunt.”
"It's a pity that I missed this year. If I want to participate again, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until five years later."
…
As soon as Su Xin returned to his courtyard, a guard came to the door on Su Baichen's order and said he wanted to see him.
In the dark study room, it was obviously daytime, but there were only a few faint rays of light visible.
"Father."
Su Xin stood there respectfully, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
It has been half a month since he returned to the Su family from the Forbidden Demon Prison, and until today, his father was not willing to see him.
Su Baichen's back was turned to him, he was writing a picture on the scroll and ignored him.
Su Xin also watched quietly without disturbing.
Su Xin has known that his father likes to paint since he was a child. He used to watch his father paint often. In his impression, every painting his father painted was extremely wanton, free and easy, and unruly.
But today's painting depicts a goshawk, soaring in the sky while looking down at the prey appearing below. This painting, while a bit unruly, also has a sense of loneliness and ruthlessness towards its prey.
After a long time, Su Baichen stopped writing and turned to look at Su Xin.
"After three years of hard work, he seems to have matured a lot." Su Baichen stared at Su Xin's face, and then he showed a smile for a while.
This smile was obviously caring, which made Su Xin feel relieved, and a smile also appeared on his face.
"Sit down." Su Baichen waved.
Su Xin sat down.
r> "You don't talk about what happened three years ago, and you don't ask me about it as a father, but you tell me about what happened today. Why did you have to kill that Zhao Ling?" Su Baichen looked at Su Xin calmly.
Su Xin was not surprised either.
Everyone in the Su family knew that Zhao Ling had practiced the Crazy Demon Sword, and in today's battle, he clearly pushed Zhao Ling into a desperate situation step by step, forcing him to use the Crazy Demon Sword, and then
Kill him by taking advantage of the situation.
If you think about it carefully, you can guess that he had planned to kill Zhao Ling from the beginning.
"Zhao Ling, a retainer who tried to meddle with the power of our Su family, deserves to die." Su Xin said.
"Then what?" Su Bai said solemnly.
"Three years ago, my family had a lot of prejudice and resentment against me. I, the young master, have been ignored by others. Killing Zhao Ling will not only preserve the dignity of my Su family, but also establish my foundation."
The battle of power can help me regain respect and status in the family." Su Xin added.
"Is there anything else?" Su Baichen was still calm.
"I heard that Zhao Tianlei went to Tianshui City to compete with the Great Elder for the Su family's property in Tianshui City, and it has reached the most critical stage, and that property is also crucial to the current Su family.
"
"If we can anger Zhao Tianlei through Zhao Ling's death and have him return to the Su family to seek revenge on me as soon as possible, we can keep that property," Su Xin said.
Hearing this, Su Baichen finally smiled, "I can think of the third point, which is pretty good. Unfortunately, you underestimate Zhao Tianlei too much."
"Based on my understanding of him, although Zhao Ling's death will make him angry, it will also further stimulate him to fight for my Su family's things. Therefore, if this news reaches his ears, he will probably choose to endure it and wait.
After he had completely obtained the property and the dust had settled, he returned to the family to seek revenge on you."
"This Zhao Tianlei, could he choose to endure the death of his son immediately?"
Su Xin frowned, and then solemnly said: "Father, with all due respect, the retainer faction headed by Zhao Tianlei has long ceased to be a help to our Su family. Instead, it has become a cancer for our Su family. If we continue to allow it to corrode
'Go down and wait until it penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Then it will be too late for our Su family to save ourselves."
"My father knows what you said." Su Baichen nodded slightly and sighed: "My Su family has long been in decline, and the retainer faction headed by Zhao Tianlei is extremely powerful. They want to completely eliminate this 'cancer' and
It’s not easy, and the one who bears the brunt must kill Zhao Tianlei first.”
"But Zhao Tianlei's cultivation level reached the middle stage of Breaking the Void a year ago. The only person in the entire Su family who is capable of killing him is his father!"
"But as a father, it is not convenient for me to take action now!"
"Isn't it convenient to take action?" Su Xin's heart moved.
He has been guessing why his father has not taken action to eliminate the retainer faction headed by Zhao Tianlei. Perhaps it is because of concerns about external forces, perhaps because he is worried about weakening the overall strength of the Su family, or for some other reason.
But now it seems that is not the case.
His father wanted to kill Zhao Tianlei, but it was just not convenient for him to do it himself.
Understanding this, Su Xin immediately stood up.
"Father, this Zhao Tianlei... I will kill him!!"
