My Super Beautiful Lady Boss
Chapter 421 - 421 421 Su Xuan's Decision

421: Chapter 421 Su Xuan’s Decision 421: Chapter 421 Su Xuan’s Decision Su Xuan nodded his head; he wasn’t a fool, but this time, Azure Dragon and his wife had become the most innocent victims.

“The Eight Major Families joined forces, continuously sending out clansmen to harass Rumeng and me.

In the end, it really became a do-or-die situation,” Azure Dragon said coolly.

“And with every assassination attempt, National Security would send strong protectors for Rumeng and me.

This situation went on for two years until the Mid-Autumn Festival two years later.

That night, Rumeng received news that her father, Mu Tianhou, had suddenly fallen critically ill and wouldn’t live past three days.

The news spread like wildfire throughout Beijing; anyone who made inquiries would know.”

Han Caiyin frowned and said, “That must have been a conspiracy designed by the Eight Major Families, right?”

“Wrong.” A cold glint flashed in Azure Dragon’s eyes: “It was a conspiracy designed by National Security.”

Han Caiyin did not respond.

Azure Dragon continued: “National Security secretly sent someone to visit the Mu Family and the Gudu Family, telling them that to take me down, they must bring Rumeng to Beijing and control her.”

Upon saying this, Azure Dragon’s emotions suddenly became agitated.

A chilling aura and a murderous intent began to seep out of him.

“Rumeng was my Achilles’ heel because they knew that once Rumeng was controlled, I, Azure Dragon, would definitely go to Beijing to save her.

At that point, the Eight Major Families would surely make their move against me.

As long as the Eight Major Families dared to go for the kill, National Security would have an excuse to act against them, or at least, they would need to give National Security an explanation.”

Azure Dragon said coldly: “That day, I really went to Beijing.

As expected, the Eight Major Families did make a move on me, and there was Rumeng, right before my eyes, yet I was unable to protect her or take her away.

In the end, not wishing to see me lose my life for her, she took her own life with a knife.” As he reached this point, Azure Dragon’s eyes became unexpectedly moist, and his hand balled into a fist.

Veins stood out on his forehead, and a strong murderous intent emanated from him.

“Big Green Worm…” Zhao Xiaochuan sighed, patting Azure Dragon on the shoulder: “The dead cannot be brought back to life.

Rest assured, I will help you take revenge.”

Azure Dragon took a deep breath and said flatly, “Rumeng’s death was something I had not anticipated.

Afterwards, I went berserk and killed many experts from the Eight Major Families.

Even if my opponents were several realms above me, I took their lives with one sword strike.

In the end, even Gudu Baitian was killed by me.

But even so, the murderous intent in my heart never lessened; on the contrary, it grew stronger and stronger.

It wasn’t until the old ancestors of Gudu Family and Mu Family appeared, that the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and the strong fighters from National Security, as well as those from the Eight Major Families, all stopped.”

“The old ancestors of Gudu Family and Mu Family?” Zhao Xiaochuan asked curiously, “Are these two people very formidable?”

Azure Dragon nodded and said, “The old ancestors of Gudu Family and Mu Family were at the peak of the Transformation Realm even back then, slightly more formidable than those four elders from National Security.

After they appeared, they directly inflicted serious injuries on me.

If it weren’t for my master showing up in the end, by now, I probably would have been nothing but a pile of bones buried beneath the soil.”

“You still have a master?”

Zhao Xiaochuan was slightly surprised and exclaimed, “Is your master very powerful?”

“He must be,” Azure Dragon recalled, his master was a super-expert who rarely spoke, devoid of joy or sorrow.

When he was very young, his master had taken him in, given him a name, and taught him martial arts.

He vaguely remembered that during those eighteen years with his master, apart from confusions about the Martial Path, his master seemed reluctant to say more to him.

Only before Azure Dragon descended the mountain did his master entrust him with a message, “Go to Beijing, challenge the strongest of the younger generation of the Eight Major Families, and with your “Heartless Sword Intent,” sever their right arms.”

After that, there was no more follow-up.

Azure Dragon naturally didn’t dare to disobey his master’s command.

Following his instructions, not only did he sever Situ Junnan’s right arm, but the strongest of the younger generations from the remaining six families were also not spared, except for Mu Ziying.

As for Gudu Baitian, he was directly slain by Azure Dragon under the Heartless Sword.

“What is your master’s name?” Han Caiyin asked, a suspicion forming in her mind, but she was not sure enough to confirm it.

“The Heartless Swordsman, Ling Xiao!” Azure Dragon said, “My master, when he was young and coerced to leave Beijing by the old ancestors of the Eight Major Families, had always wanted to take revenge for being driven away.

That’s why he nurtured me, taught me martial arts, and gave me a name.

That day, during that battle, my master suddenly appeared and saved me.

Then, he single-handedly fought against the old ancestor of Gudu Family, Gudu Qiubai, and the old ancestor of Mu Family, Mu Tiannan, ultimately defeating them.

At that time, I was possessed, my heart filled only with endless murderous intent.

Seeing me fallen to madness, my master knocked me out.

Then he decapitated Elder Li from the National Security Earth Group as a warning that his disciple, Ling Xiao’s, was not someone who could be easily manipulated or killed!”

“Your master has good perception—not being guided by anyone and yet, within merely twenty years, he stepped into the Returning to Truth Realm.

No wonder Gudu Qiubai and Mu Tiannan were no match for your master,” Su Xuan sighed.

Standing at the pinnacle of the Martial Path, he naturally knew that without a famous teacher’s guidance, it would be extremely difficult for a martial cultivator to enter the Returning to Truth Realm within just twenty years, more difficult than ascending to the heavens—especially for those who cultivated the Heartless Profound Meaning.

If one could not become heartless and unemotional, reaching the Transformation Realm would be considered their peak.

Yet his master not only broke that legend but also maintained a compassionate heart even upon entering the Returning to Truth Realm.

Such a person was definitely a martial cultivation prodigy!

That was simply monstrous!

Su Xuan believed that if the Heartless Swordsman could receive his guidance, or the guidance of Sister Ling’er, or even, in his lifetime, could break the shackles of the Martial Path and enter the legendary Spirit Realm.

“Mm, my master is indeed very strong,” Azure Dragon sighed.

“Back then, after my master took me away, he also took Rumeng’s body.

When I woke up, my master had already buried Rumeng in a graveyard on Wuwang Mountain, and the devils in my heart were forcibly resolved by my master.

However, by that time, I had become a cripple.”

“Your master had no choice,” Su Xuan explained.

“If he hadn’t abolished your martial arts and allowed the devils in your heart to grow, I’m afraid that by now, you would have become a demon terrorizing the world and would be hunted by countless powerful figures.

Your master was saving you.”

Azure Dragon nodded.

“During that period, I always stayed by Rumeng’s grave, never leaving a single step.

I just wanted to live a peaceful life and then die of old age.

However, my master woke me up with a single remark.

He said, ‘In life, one must experience bumps and bruises.

It might be a good choice to live an ordinary life, but to die an ordinary death because you are extraordinary, is that truly what you want?

Silly boy, after enduring such suffering, do you still not understand?'”

“After my master spoke, he left and never appeared again.

After standing in front of Rumeng’s tombstone for three days and three nights, I finally understood and resolutely left to re-cultivate the Martial Path.

As long as I am alive, I must do something, and my choice is to avenge Rumeng.

No matter how long it takes, no matter how hard the process, I will accomplish it!” Azure Dragon said earnestly.

“Mm, I believe you,” Su Xuan smiled.

“Big Green Worm, just follow me around these next few days.

If anyone from National Security dares to trouble you, I will take care of them!”

Azure Dragon naturally had no objections.

People from National Security now treated Su Xuan like a treasure, fearing that he might leave National Security, hence they would certainly not offend him for the small matter of Azure Dragon.

Even if the people from National Security didn’t show Su Xuan any respect, they simply didn’t have the strength to kill him in front of Su Xuan.

National Security had only a few Transformation Realm experts, with their Returning to Truth Realm status currently unknown.

Even if there were Returning to Truth Realm experts, no one dared to be confident enough to take Su Xuan’s life.

After all, just half a month ago, Su Xuan had almost killed the Taoist Leader of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Di Jiuyou.

With such an achievement, the people from National Security were bound to be aware.

Azure Dragon and Su Xuan were brothers and friends; this was no secret in National Security.

Thus, when they sent people to assassinate him this time, the Eight Major Families in Beijing did not join forces against him but instead avoided him.

At the time, Azure Dragon was puzzled until later he learned they all didn’t want to offend a certain person.

That person was Su Xuan.

A young powerhouse who could defeat someone from the Returning to Truth Realm, and whose background was indecipherable was hard not to catch the attention of the Eight Major Families.

Therefore, without thoroughly understanding Su Xuan, they were not likely to join forces with National Security to kill Azure Dragon for the time being.

So, Azure Dragon was safe for now.

At least until the Eight Major Families and National Security figured out Su Xuan’s identity, they would not make an attempt on his life.

Azure Dragon was very clear about these matters, but Su Xuan was not.

However, Han Caiyin knew.

With her intelligence, it wasn’t hard to guess the relationships involved.

But she decided to pretend she didn’t know the story told to them by Azure Dragon because these were not the matters she could handle.

Even if she wanted to, her authority was simply not enough to interfere.

The Eight Major Families and National Security were powers that stood above the law.

The death of an individual or two meant little to them.

Even the Su Family was considered a small clan in their eyes.

They could potentially doom the Su Family with just a word.

But that was assuming they disregarded Su Xuan’s existence and decided to confront him openly.

However, with her understanding of Su Xuan, he would surely rush to Beijing and eliminate anyone who was a threat to the Su Family, the Eight Major Families included.

When they returned to Fenghua, it was already midnight.

Chen Wanqing had also wrapped up the morning’s Skin Whitening press conference affairs and had just returned to Fenghua when she ran into Su Xuan and Azure Dragon, who was covered in wounds.

“Husband, how did Azure Dragon get injured?” Chen Wanqing asked with a look of surprise.

Su Xuan told Chen Wanqing the entire story of Azure Dragon.

An hour later.

“Azure Dragon, since my husband has agreed for you to stay by his side, then just stay.

However, if people from National Security come looking for you, remember to tell my husband, or you can tell me.

Remember not to conflict with them.

My husband and I will do our best to help you,” Chen Wanqing said quickly.

“You’re still injured, so there’s a room on the tenth floor you can use to take care of your wounds and get some rest for the night.

Leave the rest to me to handle.”
