Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Betrayed by Sha Tianxiang_1

"You’re right, my father’s injury has worsened, and if not treated in time, his life could be in danger. If my father falls, the Shalong Gang will undoubtedly be challenged and it will be difficult to maintain a foothold in Yun City. Thus, the news of my father’s injury is a secret within the gang, only known to a very select few."

A look of concern crossed Sha Tianyang’s face.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry into your gang’s secrets, you don’t need to tell me, so why are you telling me?" Su Chengyu said.

Sha Tianyang exhaled heavily and said, "I’m not quite sure why, but I have this inexplicable trust in you. Perhaps it is fate. I also believe that Brother Su is someone who can keep a secret."

Su Chengyu was touched. The fact that Sha Tianyang could share such a vital secret with him was proof of his profound trust in him.

The most valuable and rare qualities between people are sincerity and trust. Sincerity shows character, and trust often isn’t formed overnight.

"I will not let down your trust," Su Chengyu said seriously, gripping Sha Tianyang’s hand.

"By the way, I have a Blood Wind Vine here which is an essential ingredient for refining the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill. You can take it if it’s useful."

Su Chengyu suddenly remembered that he had once bought a Blood Wind Vine at the booming auction in Jiangyang. The Blood Wind Vine was a rare medicinal herb, used in the preparation of the Nirvana Pill, as well as a primary ingredient in the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill.

Since he no longer needed to make the Nirvana Pill, and as he had genuinely befriended Sha Tianyang, Su Chengyu was more than willing to share with his friend.

Upon hearing the offer, Sha Tianyang’s face lit up with excitement. "Brother Su, is this true? I’ve been searching for Blood Wind Vine for so long. If I have it, I will only need one more herb, Muqing Indigo."

Su Chengyu turned his palm and took out the Blood Wind Vine from the Cui Xia Ring. He chuckled. "There you go."

Sha Tianyang grabbed it gratefully, treating it like a treasure. His excitement was palpable. He then added, "Brother Su, this Blood Wind Vine is of utmost importance. No other medicinal herb can replace it, so I will accept it. However, I won’t take it for free. Our medicine storehouse has many alchemy ingredients, I’ll take you there. You can take whatever you find useful, it’s only fair."

"Since we are friends, there’s no need to keep score. It’s more urgent to heal your father first."

Indeed, the Blood Wind Vine was of considerable value. Su Chengyu had obtained it in Jiangdong, where ordinary people were unaware of its worth.

"Thank you!"

Sha Tianyang carefully put away the Blood Wind Vine and then said, "Brother Su, do you know the ingredients needed to refine the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill?"

Su Chengyu nodded his head. Sha Tianyang then said, "The Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill is not a common elixir, and the prescription is very valuable. We paid a formidable price to learn the ingredients for its preparation. Once we collect all the ingredients, we must request a senior alchemist from God Farmer Gate to refine it. However, this senior alchemist is quite greedy and his asking price is high. If you could refine the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill, it would be wonderful."

Indeed, the method for refining the Green Jade Rejuvenation remained amongst the prescriptions in Su Chengyu’s possession. However, he shook his head and said, "The process of making the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill is quite complicated, and with my current skill level, my success rate is only twenty percent. The medicinal ingredients are precious, and the pills are crucial for healing your father’s injury. I cannot take the risk. If I fail, all our efforts will be wasted. The alchemist from God Farmer Gate is after all more professional and has a high success rate."

This was not him unwilling to help but rather his lack of confidence.

"I see, I was too eager and thoughtless. Brother Su, I need to go now. We’ll be in touch."

Sha Tianyang did not further delay and left with Lei Chaosheng’s body.

Su Chengyu walked over to Yu Yanshu, handed her the Lancang sword, and said, "Let’s go too."

"Are we leaving Yun City?" asked Yu Yanshu.

"No rush, the Martial King of the Lei family won’t be able to find us that easily. We must go to the exchange meeting tomorrow," said Su Chengyu.

Sha Tianxiang returned home before Sha Tianyang. She hurriedly ran back to her room to check the condition of the wound on her buttocks in the mirror. As expected, it was red and swollen, even a light touch was met with sharp pain.

"Su Chengyu, I’ll tear you to pieces!"

Recalling the humiliation of being spanked by Su Chengyu in public, Sha Tianxiang was livid. She did not change her clothes and, still stained with blood, she went to find her father Sha Zhaohong in his study.

Just at that moment, Sha Zhaohong was having tea with Lei Dongfeng, the Martial King from the Lei family. Sha Tianxiang pushed the door and entered.

"Dad..."

"Lack of respect, don’t you know you should knock before entering? I’m entertaining a guest here, go out," said Sha Zhaohong reproachfully.

"Sha Gang Leader, don’t be annoyed. Your dear daughter entered in such a rush because she probably has something important to tell," laughed Lei Dongfeng.

"What important matter could she have? She’s just spoiled and lacks discipline, making a fool of us before you, brother Lei," said Sha Zhaohong.

Lei Dongfeng waved his hand and said, "Young people are usually a bit rebellious, it’s normal. My nephew at home is the same."

"By the way, weren’t you and your brother supposed to go out for dinner with nephew Lei? Why are you back so soon?" asked Sha Zhaohong.

"Lei Chaosheng is dead," said Sha Tianxiang.

"What?!"

Sha Zhaohong and Lei Dongfeng were unanimously shocked. Lei Dongfeng even abruptly stood up from his Taishi Chair.

"Niece Sha, you mustn’t speak carelessly about such matters," said Lei Dongfeng, his brows furrowing.

"I’m not speaking carelessly. Lei Chaosheng was killed by someone at the place where we were dining. I was injured as well," said Sha Tianxiang, pointing to the bloodstains on her clothes.

"Who? Who killed him!" Lei Dongfeng roared in rage.

Sha Zhaohong also stood up. Lei Chaosheng was the heir of the Lei family, and his sudden murder upon his arrival in Yun City placed some responsibility on the Shalong Gang.

"Quickly, tell us who dared to do such a thing," Sha Zhaohong demanded.

"A man named Su Chengyu who came from the east. It seems he already has a grudge against the Lei family. Lei Chaosheng said that Su Chengyu killed his brother," Sha Tianxiang said.

"Su Chengyu... it was him! He escaped to Yun City? Damn it!" Lei Dongfeng was livid, his eyes flaring with rage.

"Who is Su Chengyu? You know him?" asked Sha Zhaohong, breathing a sigh of relief. Since the killer was someone who had already been in combat with the Lei family, the Shalong Gang would not be held responsible.

"I’ve never met him, nor heard of him before. However, a few days ago, another one of my nephews was killed in an accident in Lin River. According to our investigation, it’s very likely that he was the murderer. By the time we sent men to catch him, he had already disappeared without a trace."

Lei Dongfeng quickly explained the situation and asked urgently, "Where is my nephew’s body now? And where is Su Chengyu? Take me there."
