Chapter 20: Chapter 20 The Death of Lin Wu

Shen Qingzhi stared at Zhou Shihao.

Originally, she didn’t care about the fate of the Shen Family at all. It could be said that ever since the Shen Family had forced her to marry Zhou Shihao and used her as an object for benefit exchange, she had detached herself from the Shen Family.

But at this moment, since Lin Ruoxi had become involved, Shen Qingzhi could only suppress the impulse in her heart to confront Zhou Shihao.

"I have always wanted to know, why did you force me to marry you?"

Shen Qingzhi turned to ask the question that had baffled her for years.

She had once thought that Zhou Shihao desired her beauty and wanted to possess her, but later she found that Zhou Shihao never touched her, treating her like he was raising a canary.

This made her doubt for a time whether Zhou Shihao had lost his capabilities as a man, and was keeping her merely for the sake of his own dignity, putting on a show for others.

However, she later discovered that although Zhou Shihao did not lay hands on her, he was licentious with other women, which left her puzzled about the whole matter.

"This is not what you should be asking."

Zhou Shihao released Shen Qingzhi, and his tone also became calm, "As long as you follow by my side obediently, keep yourself pure, and be a good Mrs. Zhou, I will grant you endless glory and wealth, making you the most powerful and wealthy wife in Jiangbei, and even your Shen Family and other relatives will benefit from it. But you must obey, especially not go against my will, understand?"

Shen Qingzhi fell silent.

"You’re a smart woman. I know you can figure it out."

"Go back and rest."

Zhou Shihao smiled faintly, as if the person who had just made the threats wasn’t him.

"You must also know my temperament, I hope you won’t hurt Lin Ruoxi because of tonight’s matters," Shen Qingzhi left these words behind and then departed.

Back in her room, after closing the door, Shen Qingzhi curled herself up on the sofa, her body shaking uncontrollably, but she bit her lip hard, trying not to make any sound.

Today, she had been as composed and calm as could be when facing Zhou Shihao, but now she was just as fearful and terrified.

She hadn’t expected that in trying to save Su Luo, she would accidentally involve her best friend, Lin Ruoxi.

All she could hope for now was that her last words would have an effect. She didn’t understand why Zhou Shihao cared so much about whether she was a virgin or not, but she knew that Zhou Shihao’s repeated insistence on her purity, even using her virginity as a threat, meant that her words might make Zhou Shihao wary.

After all, the meaning of her words was that if Zhou Shihao hurt Lin Ruoxi, and she couldn’t avenge her, she could injure herself and ruin her body, which would turn Zhou Shihao’s reasons for wanting her to remain pure into empty words.

Even though, after a night of passion with Su Luo, she had already truly become a wife, no longer a maiden.

...

The night passed.

When the first ray of the dawn sunlight shone into the Su Family Ancestral House, Su Luo finally opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a turbid breath: "I’ve finally succeeded in breaking through to the Third Level of Qi Refinement!"

Excitement flashed across Su Luo’s face: "So it seems, I really am a cultivation genius, even a genius among geniuses?"

According to the legacy memories Su Luo had gained, even many natural talents in cultivation could not achieve in three days what an ordinary person who had never cultivated before could, advancing directly to the Third Level of Qi Refinement Realm.

Forget about reaching the Third Level of Qi Refinement.

Even achieving the First Level of Qi Refinement from scratch in three days would be exceedingly rare.

This discovery left Su Luo rather pleased with himself.

After all, he had been nothing but an ordinary wage worker, earning a meager salary, just one of the many people in the world, but now he had become a Cultivator, and not just any Cultivator but a talented one. How could Su Luo not be excited?

However, that excitement soon turned to bitterness: "Cultivation really burns through money! Elixirs worth a million were almost all consumed in one night!"

The key point was that this was only for an initial breakthrough to the Third Level of Qi Refinement Realm.

Moreover, as one’s cultivation level increases, the more of nature’s spiritual energy is required. If one uses elixirs as aids in their cultivation, the demand for the materials will keep growing, requiring how much money to support one’s cultivation!

Su Luo simply didn’t dare to think about it.

But when he thought of Lin Wu, he suddenly felt relieved.

That Lin Wu was over thirty years old and had been practicing martial arts for at least twenty years, yet he had only managed to reach the Third Stage of Inner Strength.

As for himself, he had advanced to the Third Level of Qi Refinement in just three days.

He had walked the path of twenty years in just three days.

In such a case, what was a little exhaustion?

Not to mention Su Luo felt that after breaking through to the Third Level of Qi Refinement, he might even be able to confront those at the Fourth Stage Inner Strength!

Joy was written all over Su Luo’s face.

He went out, found a place to have a good meal, replenishing the energy his body needed, and then he found another place to resume his cultivation and solidify his foundation.

Of course, this time, he didn’t go back to the Su Family Ancestral House.

He was also concerned that Lin Wu’s brother, one of Jiangbei’s Top Ten masters, Lin Jiangpu, might find him.

Without complete confidence, he chose to avoid direct confrontation to prevent a repeat of last night’s assassination attempt.

At the same time.

Jiangbei Hospital.

VIP ward.

Dong Fei, who lay in the hospital bed, was growing impatient: "Dad, it’s already daylight, why hasn’t Uncle Wu caught that little bastard Su Luo yet?"

Seated on the sofa, Dong Yunhua was also feeling irritable.

He had called Lin Wu several times, but no one answered.

That had given him an unpleasant premonition.

"Let’s wait a bit longer, Lin Wu is a martial artist at the Third Stage of Inner Strength, we’ve all seen his power, he can easily handle Su Luo," Dong Yunhua said.

Just as his words fell, his phone rang.

Dong Yunhua smiled at once when he saw the caller: "It’s Lin Wu calling, he must have succeeded."

With that said.

He answered the call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Dong?" a voice came through on the phone.

Dong Yunhua was stunned, then spoke in a deep voice, "You’re not Lin Wu, who are you?"

"We are from the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau. Today, we received a report and found a male corpse, and upon checking, you were the last person to contact him..." the voice on the other end said slowly.

"What did you say? Lin Wu is dead?" Dong Yunhua’s complexion changed drastically.

A moment later, he hung up the phone.

"Dad, Uncle Wu is dead?" Dong Fei exclaimed in shock.

Dong Yunhua’s face was extremely grim: "Yes. I need to go to the Public Security Bureau to find out what happened."

After speaking, he left with a somber expression.

"Uncle Wu was a martial artist at the Third Stage of Inner Strength, how could he have died?" Dong Fei was dumbstruck, his face full of disbelief.

Xu Yanran, who had been in the ward until now, suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Fei, that Lin Wu... could he have been killed by Su Luo?"
