Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

The Grandmaster is closest to him. If he has another great opportunity, he might be able to surpass him in no time!

In this era, it's not impossible that every now and then, some ancient traditions will emerge!

This is especially true for Su Qingshan!

Su Mu was determined to kill him!

Xiao Anran told Su Mu that, according to information obtained from the royal family, Su Qingshan had become the leader of "Divine Punishment" and had reached the Grandmaster level.

Su Qingshan and all his members are sparing no effort to destroy the Xiao clan, and are even cooperating with other races!

Su Mu's urgent desire to eliminate Su Qingshan was primarily for this purpose!

This is also the main reason why he wanted to kill Su Qingshan!

Of course, Su Mu would never admit that he was his son!

who do you think You Are?

Besides, Su Qingshan has treated him well. If he truly regarded him as his own child, how could he possibly scheme against him?!

As the leader of an assassin group, Su Qingshan was extremely well hidden. It was not easy to find him; one had to wait for him to come to them!

In Su Mu's view, Su Qingshan would definitely show up when the enemy attacked!

As evening fell, Xiao Anran reappeared in the library.

With no sign of the enemy, she had no reason to remain on the city wall.

However, the Emperor forbade her to do so, because the cultivation materials in this Void Ring were far too precious for the Xiao royal family!

Whether she, a powerful expert at the Innate Realm, is present or not makes absolutely no difference.

During the meal, Xiao Ping'an asked curiously, "I wonder how Lord Su plans to proceed?"

"Catch them off guard!"

Su Mu replied, "That's good."

"Hmm!" He nodded.

Xiao Anran nodded, said nothing more, and looked excited.

She always felt that Eunuch Su would give her a pleasant surprise!

Zheng He ate his meal silently, without saying or asking any questions.

"Mr. Su, do you want me to eat more?"

When Xiao Ping'an saw that the gold had not appeared, he asked.

He's eaten and drunk his fill and is resting on the second floor of the library!

Su Mu replied, "He doesn't like any of the food here; he's extremely picky!"

Su Mu had long realized that using money to raise them would consume enough cultivation resources to create several grandmasters!

He felt a pang of regret, as he cultivated the gold himself but didn't receive any rewards from the system.

However, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up gold and his cultivation!

After dinner, Zheng He cleared away the dishes, while Su Mu and Xiao Anran returned to their rooms.

"This elemental flying sword is really difficult to forge!"

Xiao Anran sighed. If she could refine the flying sword in her Qi Sea, even if she was only a Xiantian-level martial artist, she would still be a force to be reckoned with!

Since obtaining the Ring of Emptiness, she has used up a large amount of cultivation materials, but because she needs to refine the Yuanling Flying Sword, her cultivation level has not improved particularly quickly.

Even so, her cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Late at night.

Su Chen, who had been absorbing the aura of the Emperor's power, also noticed something was wrong.

Another person appeared in the courtyard of the library.

The library was not located in the very heart of the imperial city, but rather near the city wall, so the guards were relatively lax. Anyone who wanted to sneak into the palace and cause trouble had to pass through here.

Su Mu had initially thought that the other party was just an ordinary assassin who would leave soon, but now it seemed that was not the case.

He was dressed as an assassin, but instead of leaving the courtyard of the study, he went straight upstairs.

It's obvious they're going upstairs!

That's absolutely outrageous!

Many people in the palace knew that the loyal and righteous Grand Eunuch Su Mu usually lived on the second floor of the study. No assassin who had even a slight understanding of the situation in the palace would dare to break into the library, let alone the second floor!

An assassin who dares to pass through here is incredibly audacious!

Su Mu stood still, seeing that Huang Jin was still asleep, and patiently waited for him to come up.

Su Mu naturally sensed the other party's divine sense.

Judging from the aura emanating from the other party, Su Mu could tell that the other party had probably cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm, and at the very least reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

The figure quickly headed towards the door where Su Mu was.

Su Mu waved his hand, and the door opened with a thud.

This man was different from ordinary assassins; he wore a black robe and no mask.

His hair and beard were black and white, and he had some fine wrinkles on his face. He should be an old man, but he was not old and had a good physique.

"Xiao Chen, do you still recognize your father?"

The person who came was none other than Su Qingshan, the biological father of "Little Su" mentioned by Su Mu.

Su Mu's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he was secretly overjoyed: It's like finding a needle in a haystack! He was just worried about where to find Su Qingshan, but he didn't expect the other party to deliver himself to his door.

However, Su Mu's excitement was misinterpreted by Su Qingshan as something else—in his view, Su Mu's expression must be one of joy at the long-awaited reunion of father and son.

"You dare to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the palace? You do have some guts!" Su Mu spoke first, his tone calm.

Su Qingshan, however, was unconcerned and said casually, "This is just the edge of the palace. What's wrong with trespassing here? Right now, all the martial arts experts in the palace are gathered around the emperor to protect him. There aren't many people guarding the library area."

"What is your purpose in coming to me?" Su Mu asked, feigning curiosity.

"Of course I want to join forces with you to achieve great things! Right now, there's a golden opportunity!" A glint of ambition flashed in Su Qingshan's eyes as he slowly said, "If you and I, father and son, join forces, along with the elites of the Divine Judgment Organization in the city, we will surely be able to take over this palace, kill the current emperor, and completely annihilate the Xiao royal family!"

"Oh? What benefits can I get from this?" Su Mu asked casually.

"I am the leader of the Divine Judgment Organization, and you are my own son. If we join forces to achieve hegemony, you will naturally reap the benefits!" Su Qingshan patiently explained, "My plan is that after our operation in the city is successful, we will seek peace with the barbarians and Japanese tribes outside the city. The Divine Judgment Organization already has dealings with these two parties, and with me negotiating, they will surely agree."

"Of course, to get them to stop the war, we'll have to offer some benefits, such as the Great Qian territory they've always coveted. At most, we'll give up some land in the east and north, but in return, the Su family will rise to the top and become the new royal family of Great Qian. This is a sure-fire deal!"

It was this enormous lure of profit that made Su Qingshan willing to risk entering the palace to personally meet with Su Mu. He also knew in his heart that Su Mu might not agree, much less acknowledge him as the father who had abandoned his wife and children—if he had wanted to acknowledge him, he would have done so upon their reunion.

"You should know that there is still a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Martial Sect in the palace, and that person is not weak." Su Mu seemed to be casually reminding him, but in fact he wanted to test whether Su Qingshan knew about Lin Zhengying's death.

"He's all alone!" Su Qingshan said dismissively. "I'll keep him occupied, and you, with the elites of the Divine Judgment Organization and the Duanmu family, will be more than enough to wipe out the remaining forces of the Xiao royal family!"
