I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 152 The Chaotic Situation, Unraveled

Chapter 152 The Chaotic Situation, Unraveled (Fourth Update)
Inside the Lin residence, Su Wuwo still stood alone among the pavilions and towers.

A wine jug was tossed over.

He casually took it, opened the wine pot, and took a sip: "Jiangnan Spring Snow... this taste has been around for at least ten years."

“The wine Lin Yue brewed for you back then, I send a pot of it to the prison every year on the anniversary of her death.”

Lin Chongxiao walked over, holding the Dingfengbo sword in his left hand, his face solemn: "Drink up, and I'll send you on your way."

Su Wuwo laughed and said, "We've waited for more than ten years, so there's no need to rush."

He looked at the string of candied hawthorns in Lin Chongxiao's hand: "Why don't you take the candied hawthorns back first?"

Lin Chongxiao said calmly, "She's not in a hurry, she can wait a little longer."

After calming his breathing slightly, Lin Chongxiao said in a low voice, "Go back to the dungeon and I won't kill you."

Su Wuwo raised an eyebrow slightly: "This doesn't sound like you at all. It's really strange... More than ten years have passed, and you've become more soft-hearted?"

Lin Chongxiao chuckled coldly twice: "It's not that I'm soft-hearted, but letting you live is the only way to atone for my sins. If you die, I'll have to hire a coffin for you, which would be a waste of wood."

Su Wuwo said in a low voice, "I don't regret chasing her all the way to the grasslands back then. I also left her a letter, but I don't know why the letter couldn't be delivered."

Lin Chongxiao listened to these explanations expressionlessly: "Even if everything you said is true, you still have to take responsibility for Lin Yue's death."

"I've been locked up for over a decade, constantly pondering one question," Su Wuwo muttered to himself. "Who exactly set up this scheme back then? But I doubt I'll find the answer while I'm still alive."

He took a sip of wine, the spilled liquid wetting his sleeve: "In my life, so many things have not gone as I wished... I didn't want to inherit the sect, yet I was the most talented person in the sect; I wanted to grow old with the woman I loved, but we are separated by death; I wanted to raise a glass with my friends, but now we are mortal enemies; I even failed to save an innocent girl I wanted to save."

He slowly clenched his fist: "A life like this would be too much of a failure and too ridiculous, so I came out of it."

“I know you never wanted to kill me.”

"I know that the Fuguang Sect has gone into hiding and is protecting my life because of the old sect leader."

“The Northern Zhou got involved in Langya Prefecture, and the situation is in chaos. In fact, someone wanted to use me to stir up trouble, and I know it all too well.”

He finished the last drop of wine, then threw the wine jug into the pool, creating a large ripple.

“When that wooden box was delivered, I realized… the owner of that hand had his eye on me again.”

"Who wants to use me to massacre the Lin family?"

"If I do some research, I should be able to find some clues quite easily."

"This is the only chance I'll ever have in my life."

"Perhaps this is my only chance to find the truth."

"but……"

"That might be another trap."

"I cannot judge."

Su Wuwo turned around and looked directly at Lin Chongxiao.

"So I'm standing here, waiting for you to come."

"Now it's not just me who will be destroyed, but you too."

"More than a decade has passed, but I still can't forget what happened back then."

"But you've gradually come out of it."

"I can die here."

"But you can't die."

“We are each other’s weakness. One of us must disappear so that the other will not be left with any threat.”

Back then, Su Wuwo did have suspicions that there were people hiding within the Lin family who wanted to harm Lin Yue. He even wondered if Lin Yue hadn't committed suicide, but had been murdered by someone.

However, none of these investigations were ever able to proceed.

He began to feel fear. If he really found out something, how would he take revenge? What would Lin Chongxiao's stance be then? What if he didn't find anything? What if it was just another trap set by the other side?

So he locked himself up for more than a decade.

After a long wait, he realized that he might never find the answer.

So, they simply stopped investigating altogether.

Even if he was tricked out by the person behind the scenes this time, his plan was now over.

If you do nothing, you won't make a mistake.

Once Lin Chongxiao ends his own life, the Lin family will have no more worries.

Because of Su Wuwo's ​​existence, the Lin family has always been troubled by this.

As time goes by, this mental illness will only get worse.

Su Wuwo came here seeking death; it was the only thing he could do... This man had made too many mistakes in the past, to the point of being bound by his own limitations and suffering from severe paranoia, fearing that everything he did would be the result of being led by others.

A dignified Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking has fallen into a vicious cycle of self-doubt.

But this is normal.

After all, he paid too high a price for it and lost too much.

If in the end he loses even Lin Chongxiao, the only person he can call a friend, what will he have left?
"Does it have to be me who does it?"

Lin Chongxiao gripped Dingfengbo tightly: "If you want to die, just find a place to die anywhere."

Su Wuwo said in a low voice, "Only if I am in your hands will you not forget Lin Yue, and will not forget... to avenge us; if I just leave, or die outside, you will probably only be sad."

Lin Chongxiao was furious: "Su Wuwo, do you know what I hate most about you? You are called Wuwo, but you are actually extremely self-centered. You only have yourself in your eyes, you can never see others, you only think about shirking responsibility, and you never think about taking responsibility!"

It was Su Wuwo's ​​turn to laugh: "What can I take on? I have nothing left."

His smile turned into a bitter grin, and he whispered, "Do it. Don't keep me waiting too long... I want to go down and see her."

There was silence.

Lin Chongxiao silently raised his weapon.

Just as they were about to make their move.

a voice sounded.

Excuse me, may I interrupt?

Xi Qingqing carried Bai Xuan, who could barely walk, at breakneck speed, followed by the Lin family servants who tried to catch up.

Lin Chongxiao frowned slightly. What's this kid doing here?
Jiang Chengzi, which was being held in one hand, trembled slightly, detached itself, and flew back into the scabbard at Bai Xuan's waist.

Su Wuwo exclaimed in surprise, "A sword imbued with spirit... This technique sounds so much like a move from the Sword Pavilion!"

"Penglai Sword Pavilion?"

“No…the Sword Pavilion was created by Bai Wuming.” Su Wuwo was, after all, the eldest disciple of the Fuguang Sect, and was more knowledgeable. He knew that the original Sword Pavilion was very different from the later Sword Pavilion. The former was not large in scale, but it encompassed everything, while the latter only occupied a part of Bai Wuming’s legacy.

“He is Jiao Lu’s sweetheart, and also the one who just made the list…” Lin Chongxiao casually explained, his tone unconsciously relaxed and smug. “So he is…” Su Wuwo first smiled: “Good thing.”

Then he frowned slightly, as if thinking of himself. Back then, wasn't he also incredibly talented and a perfect match for the Lin family woman?

Lin Chongxiao had obviously thought of something as well, and he frowned slightly.

At that moment, Bai Xuan's voice was heard.

"Gentlemen, please exchange pleasantries later. This is not the time for politeness!"

"Hurry up and save them!"

Lin Chongxiao frowned; the entire Lin family mansion was very quiet.

"Go save people? Who?" Su Wuwo asked.

Bai Xuan retorted, "You said you were Lin Chongxiao's weakness, but do you really think he only has one weakness?"

Su Wuwo fell into deep thought.

Lin Chongxiao's expression changed slightly, and immediately, he picked up Bai Xuan and Xi Qingqing with one hand: "Let's go!"

Su Wuye immediately followed.

They quickly arrived at the deepest part of the Lin family mansion, the mistress's study.

There was someone waiting outside the door.

"Where's the Madam?"

"Madam is in the study, talking with Madam Liu..."

Before he could finish speaking, an angry voice came from inside the study; it was Lu Shu's voice.

"what are you up to!"

The enclosed study was broken open.

The two candidates, almost simultaneously, entered the room.

Then I saw a scene that sent my blood pressure soaring.

Lu Shu fell to the ground, covering her eyes, blood seeping from between her fingers.

A bloodstained dagger was held in Madam Liu's hand. She opened her mouth slightly but could not speak, standing stiffly in place.

"you wanna die!"

Lin Chongxiao's blood pressure spiked instantly, and without saying a word, he thrust his spear towards Madam Liu.

This attack was launched in a fit of rage, leaving everyone present unable to react.

Even Bai Xuan couldn't stop this shot.

Fortunately, there is still one person here.

Bai Xuan: "Stop him!"

Su Wuwo heard these words. Although he didn't understand why, as a Grandmaster, he made an extremely decisive judgment. The situation might not be as others thought. The Fu Guang Divine Seal lit up between his eyebrows, and his whole body was instantly enveloped in a golden light.

Even after isolating himself for more than a decade, his cultivation level has not declined.

He caught the spear of the sixth-ranked player on the Earth Ranking with one hand and confronted his sharp edge head-on.

The clash between the Earthly Rankings caused the entire study and even the surrounding area for several kilometers to tremble violently.

"Save them," Bai Xuan said.

"Save whom?" Xi Qingqing asked blankly.

Bai Xuan pushed Xi Qingqing toward Madam Liu, then weakly fell backward, only to be caught in the arms of Lin Jiaolu, who had rushed over just as quickly.

But at this moment, Xiao Lu had no time to rejoice at her gain; she was looking at Lu Shi, whose eyes were bleeding profusely, with a face full of worry.

"Why are you stopping me!" Lin Chongxiao was furious.

What you see may not be the truth.

Su Wuwo remained even calmer: "Let's hear what your future son-in-law has to say."

Lin Chongxiao glanced at Liu Shi, who had been pulled away by Xi Qingqing.

The latter, having narrowly escaped death, slumped backward in a daze, then turned to look at Lin Chongxiao, his eyes flashing with countless complex emotions.

At this moment, Lin Jiaolu, the wet nurse who was guarding the door, rushed to help Lu Shu, who was bleeding profusely.

But Lu Shu pushed the wet nurse away.

"Quickly, kill her!"

At that moment, several people in the room heard the order and immediately carried out the killings.

Liu stood there, silent and motionless.

Xi Qingqing was also surprised. This matriarch of the Lin family had such a strong desire to kill. She hurriedly pulled Liu Shi back to avoid her.

Lin Chongxiao and Su Wuwo remained in a standoff.

The latter refused to give way, which enraged the former.

Xi Qingqing protected Liu Shi as she evaded the pursuit of Lu Shu's maids.

Lin Jiaolu wanted to stand up and help.

Feixue and Tiexue Yanluo outside the door also seemed to be planning to come in.

The scene was chaotic.

"Don't even move!"

Bai Xuan took a deep breath and roared angrily with the sound of a lion's roar.

"Try moving again!"

This time, no one moved.

Because Bai Xuan directly placed his sword against his own neck and Lin Jiaolu's neck.

"Believe it or not, I'll die for love back then to show you!"

He grumbled and said, "Can't you listen to human language when you're all using passwords?!"

Lin Jiaolu blinked innocently, but she didn't say anything.

Bai Xuan maintained his intimidating posture and looked at the furious Lin Chongxiao.

"Do you know that you almost killed your own wife just now?"
