Chapter 462 - 456: News of the Master (5th Update)

In the same second.

Pu...

While Su Chen and Jiuyou were communicating, suddenly, Xu Zhenxiong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!!!

His whole body went limp and collapsed on the ground.

His life aura rapidly leaking away.

Xu Zhenxiong had actually committed suicide.

"Grandfather, Grandfather, Grandfather..." Xu Yaoyao cried out frantically, throwing herself on Xu Zhenxiong’s body, her voice hoarse.

"Su... Su Chen, do you know why I... I committed suicide?" Xu Zhenxiong said weakly, staring at Su Chen.

Su Chen had a complex look in his eyes.

Why commit suicide? Because Xu Zhenxiong knew that he would never let him go, he would certainly want him dead. Yet, if he truly died at his hands, then Xu Yaoyao and he would be enemies for life!

In the future, Xu Yaoyao might seek revenge, assassinate or stab him, and he, by nature, would surely execute Xu Yaoyao without hesitation.

In the end, Xu Zhenxiong truly loved his granddaughter to an excessive degree.

Even at the brink of death, he thought of his granddaughter.

"Xu Zhenxiong was no good person, but as a grandfather, I respect him!" Jiuyou said solemnly, "Even his last breath was for the sake of his granddaughter!!!"

"Su Chen, Yaoyao is not... not... not a bad child; she was just spoiled by me. For the next three years, she is in your hands. I know you... you are a person of deep emotions and loyalty, and someone who values promises. Since you didn’t refuse to protect Yaoyao for three years, then, you will certainly do it!" Xu Zhenxiong continued.

Having said that.

He died.

"Wuuu... Grandfather, Grandfather, don’t die, Grandfather, I only want you, Grandfather..." Xu Yaoyao’s sobbing turned heart-wrenching, her tears gradually becoming red.

Xu Yaoyao had no parents since she was young, and the only one who cherished her was her grandfather, Xu Zhenxiong.

For over twenty years, her grandfather was her everything.

At this moment, Xu Zhenxiong died.

Her world collapsed.

—————

Three days later.

Burning Heaven Sect.

Attic.

Su Chen sat at the tea table, frowning slightly.

On a bed not far away, sat Xu Yaoyao.

Xu Yaoyao’s face was pale, devoid of any color, appearing extremely weak.

Three days earlier, after Xu Zhenxiong’s death, he had brought Xu Yaoyao with him, following Xu Zhan and Zhou Feng back to the Burning Heaven Sect.

But, in these three days, Xu Yaoyao neither ate nor drank, nor spoke.

At first, Su Chen didn’t intervene, thinking Xu Yaoyao needed time to process.

But now, after three days, it was still the same.

"Xu Yaoyao, people have to look forward. Your grandfather is dead. You can either commit suicide too; perhaps in the Yellow Springs, you’ll still have your grandfather to dote on you and pamper you, or else regain some normalcy. I don’t want to be followed around by a mute with a cold face all the time!" Su Chen finally spoke out.

The words were harsh.

So harsh that even Jiuyou felt like slapping him.

"This is the treasure for you!" In the next moment, abruptly, a streak of light flashed and reached Su Chen’s eyes.

Su Chen caught it.

Meanwhile, Xu Yaoyao stood up.

She was going to leave.

"Stop, where are you going?" Without even glancing at the treasure, Su Chen focused on Xu Yaoyao.

"It’s none of your business. Although my grandfather wasn’t killed by your own hands, you drove him to his death! I hate you!!! I will always hate you!" Xu Yaoyao glared at Su Chen, her beautiful eyes turning red again.

"You’re right about that, your grandfather was indeed driven to death by me, and he had to die!" Su Chen said in a heavy voice: "To you, he was a good grandfather, but to me, he was an enemy in a life-and-death struggle..."

Xu Yaoyao stopped talking.

Silence.

Only the silence of clenched fists remained.

"So, if I were given another chance, if he hadn’t taken his own life, I would have personally made sure he went to the Yellow Springs!" Su Chen said indifferently, coldly: "However, remember this, without me, that day, your grandfather would still have died, right at the hands of the Wu Family members, including you. You would have died too, maybe even a fate worse than death."

Xu Yaoyao became even more silent—what Su Chen said was the truth.

"It’s fine if you hate me or want revenge, that’s up to you. However, for the next three years, you will follow my arrangements. I need to ensure your safety. Since I have taken the compensation given by your grandfather, what I promised, I will fulfill!" Su Chen continued: "Of course, if you really wish to die, I won’t stop you. After all, it’s your own choice. Your grandfather can’t blame me for anything. That would actually make things easier for me..."

At this point, Su Chen’s voice grew louder: "Haha... It would be good if you died! For you, living without anyone to cherish or love you, how painful! Your parents died at the hands of the Wu Family Members, your grandfather almost died by their hands too! If you died by the Wu Family’s hands, it would just be another family reunion, wouldn’t it!"

Su Chen said this.

Deep and bone-chilling hatred flashed across Xu Yaoyao’s eyes.

She turned around and went back to her bed.

"Not leaving?" Su Chen smiled, his intention was to provoke Xu Yaoyao. His hatred with the Wu Family was the driving force for Xu Yaoyao to continue living. She surely wanted to take revenge, of course, maybe he was also part of her vengeful plans. But to Su Chen, that didn’t matter.

"If you’re not leaving, then stay obediently. If you want to take revenge, you need to be alive first, and to stay alive, you can only rely on me!" Su Chen said casually and then left directly: "You are now in the Burning Heaven Sect, which is relatively safe for the time being. Don’t wander around aimlessly."

Having said this.

Su Chen left.

Having dealt with Xu Yaoyao’s matter.

Next was the issue regarding his Master.

He arrived at the main hall of the Burning Heaven Sect.

Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei were already waiting.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, is there any news about Master?" Su Chen inquired.

"There is, but..." Xuu Zhan furrowed his brows: "That day, the Sect Leader went to the Giant Sword Sect..."

"The Giant Sword Sect?"

"The Sect Leader was once a Servant Disciple at the Giant Sword Sect," Xuu Zhan explained: "And those who were in the same cohort as the Sect Leader at the Giant Sword Sect, some are now renowned super powerhouses, and some even stayed in the Giant Sword Sect and became stewards and even elders. The Sect Leader hoped to leverage these past relationships to acquire some martial arts cultivation resources from those old friends of the Giant Sword Sect. The Giant Sword Sect is a second-grade Sect, extremely powerful!!! Compared to the Giant Sword Sect, Burning Heaven Sect is less than an ant! If the Giant Sword Sect is willing to offer even the slightest help to the Sect Leader, he could have secured many martial cultivation resources for you."

Listening silently, Su Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart.

His Master really cared for him.

From the bottom of his heart.

"However..." Xuu Zhan hesitated for a moment: "However, the Sect Leader also had made some enemies at the Giant Sword Sect. It’s said that the Sect Leader was humiliated by the Fourth Elder of the Giant Sword Sect, and furthermore, he was severely injured and even imprisoned in the Mountain Defending Prison of the Giant Sword Sect."

Su Chen’s face turned extremely grim instantly!!!

"Indeed, the Sect Leader knew that some in the Giant Sword Sect bore hatred towards him, so over the years, he has kept a respectful distance..." Xuu Zhan trailed off.

Su Chen’s expression grew even grimmer.

The Master must have known that going to the Giant Sword Sect was dangerous, but yet, he resolutely went, all because Su Chen needed better martial cultivation resources.
