This place is fun

Chapter 153 Isolation
As the younger generations dispersed one after another, Madam Su's courtyard became quiet again.

In the flower hall, Madam Su leaned on the couch with a strange look on her face. Madam Jiang and Madam Liu were beside her, looking at each other, and seemed to want to say something but stopped. Even Su Xianyi, who was usually idle, frowned at this moment and walked around the eight-immortal table.

The news about the west city garrison had already arrived long before Su Daoshan and others returned home.

The information Mrs. Jiang received included extremely detailed information about the cause of the incident, who the two parties were, who said what, who took action, including the subsequent appearance of Han Gu Meng Qiaofu and Han Luheng's attitude.

It was just a family having a reunion dinner and everyone pretended not to know.

For a noble family, it is common for the younger generation to get into trouble or get injured in a fight.

Not to mention a big family, even an ordinary family with a few prosperous people will have troubles every day.

When a group of boys reached the age of seven or eight, they were hated by everyone and would either smash the windows of the neighbor or tear off the tiles of the neighbor. When they were older, they were even more aggressive. Fighting over a disagreement was common. When they got home, they would be scolded, beaten, punished by kneeling down to copy books, or confined to their homes. They would be punished in various ways, but the situation would only last for three or five days, and then they would return to their old ways and there would be chaos.

But no matter how noisy other people’s children are, they are not this scary.

"That kid, when did he get promoted to the seventh rank?" Mother Su couldn't help asking, "Before, I thought he was only at the ninth rank. A few days ago, it was said that this kid got promoted to the eighth rank. It's only been a few days..."

Mother Su said, and when she saw Su Xianyi's expression, she couldn't help but get angry: "Third brother, this is your own son, and you, as a father, don't know anything about him?"

"I wasn't the one who taught him martial arts since he was a child," Su Xianyi spread his hands, "how would I know."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu were standing by, looking at her husband with disbelief. Mrs. Jiang turned to look at her husband and said worriedly, "Master, if this child continues like this..."

Su Xianyi understood what he meant and frowned, "You are worried..."

"The Su family has been able to stabilize this time thanks to this child. Others may not know, but we ourselves are aware of it," Mrs. Jiang's eyes were slightly cold, "Those people have been keeping an eye on us. Daoshan had already attracted attention when he entered the Cold Valley before. Now he is even more eye-catching... As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I am afraid that those people will reach out to him..."

"What should we do?" Su Xianyi's usually relaxed and carefree face also showed a bit of anxiety. "We have been hiding for so many years, we can't fail at the last moment. It would be easy if they just cut us down one by one. But what's the difference between this and telling the investigation bureau that we are the ones they are looking for?"

He frowned and turned around in place. "Before, because someone in Kyoto had spoken, didn't we make the worst plan for a mere Mi family? We would rather leave our hometown and our family be destroyed than let them suspect us. We tried to survive these two years. But we never expected that Daoshan would be favored by Han Gu, and this situation was inexplicably resolved..."

As he said this, he stopped and looked at Mother Su and Madam Jiang: "If we had followed our plan at the beginning, some would have left, some would have died, and some would have dispersed, it would have been fine. I would rather send Daoshan to the southern island and let him read his books, even if he was a nerd for the rest of his life, as long as he lived in peace and stability. But now, since he is the one who built the Su family, he is the only one who can support it..."

"He's holding on?" Su's mother and Mrs. Jiang were anxious and wanted to speak, but they didn't know what to say.

"We have been able to achieve the current situation thanks to Daoshan's good luck. Now we can only continue to count on him. God knows what this kid can do. Anyway, he has chosen this path and stood in this position. Whether it is an open attack or a hidden arrow, he has to block it... Whether he can block it and how long he can block it for the Su family depends on his ability."

"Who told him to be? He is my son, Su Xianyi."

Yishan City, where the sun shines.

The tavern on the second floor of the hostel was bustling with people. Dozens of disciples from the sect were whispering, talking loudly, or arguing with red faces. From time to time, everyone would cast their eyes on Ke Lizhi who was sitting by the window.

Ke Lizhi was a little worried. He had just come back from meeting his master Gu Tianchi and his uncle Xu Guanghai.

Gu Tianchi and Xu Guanghai told him two things.

The first thing was about the Su family in Yishan City. After the previous conflict ended, Xu Guanghai, who was responsible for the peripheral intelligence of Yuanshan Tower, found out some information through local channels.

The news was very detailed. From the Su family's previous stay in Kyoto, to their move back to Yishan City, to their situation in the past two years, and to their near-miraculous turnaround in recent times - the key factor was actually the young man named Su Daoshan.

As for Su Daoshan, there was even more information. Whether it was his eccentric personality, the jokes he had made in the past, or the fact that he had the bad luck to get close to Xie Xunbai of Han Gu some time ago, and that he made a splash in the county exam and was accepted as a personal disciple by Han Gu, he had found out everything.

The most important piece of news was that two days ago, the Ding Camp of Yishan City was conducting actual combat training in Kelunburg and happened to discover the wormhole of the You Clan.

It is said that Su Daoshan came out of the dust storm with Tang Moer.

Ke Lizhi didn't know the name Tang Mo'er, but Gu Tianchi suddenly understood something when he heard it. Then, his face became very ugly, and he warned Ke Lizhi not to think about causing trouble for Su Daoshan during this period. He should concentrate all his attention and put all his energy into the battle in front of him.

It is said that the Qingyun Secret Selection has already begun. The people of the Sect Union are hiding somewhere, recording what they see and hear. Every sect disciple who is on the list is under their observation. There is no need to affect the overall situation for a small matter.

"The overall situation?" Ke Lizhi thought.

Based on his understanding of his master Gu Tianchi, such words did not seem to come from his master's mouth. If there was nothing that made his master feel timid, he believed that his master, who was insulted in public, would not hesitate to flip the table.

He doesn’t care about the overall situation!
The second thing was about a strange story that happened in the fairy town outside the spiritual realm. However, when Gu Tianchi and Xu Guanghai talked about it, they didn't know that the disciple next to them was one of the parties involved.

It was not until this moment that Ke Lizhi realized that so many things happened after he was killed out of the spiritual realm.

As a peripheral member of the Burning Heaven Society, Ke Lizhi has always known how powerful the organization is.

Buchi was supported by the Burning Heaven Society. After Buchi entered the Fifth Spirit Realm, he took over Buchi's position outside the realm and became the next member of the training echelon.

Therefore, when he was killed out of the spiritual realm, Ke Lizhi was not worried.

The Burning Heaven Society was well organized. They had advance plans for similar events. Ke Lizhi knew very well that if something happened to him, the members left behind in Huang Zhulin would follow his instructions and send messages through the message tree. As his superior, Bu Chi would definitely come at the first opportunity, and with his power that swept across the region, he would easily kill the other party and clean up the mess.

By the time he arrived at Yishan City from Chongguang City and entered the spiritual realm again, everything had been settled.

The only headache might be that my reputation in the Burning Heaven Society would be lowered.

But Buchi will surely be able to wipe out the Gurong tribe without leaving a single piece of armor. If he works harder, he can use this opportunity to force other tribes in Xianlai Town to surrender. By then, he may be able to reach the height of Buchi. But what Ke Lizhi didn't expect was that what he waited for was such bad news!
The newcomer named "If we can't reach an agreement, we'll cut him down" not only wiped out all the people he brought with him, but also turned around and attacked the Huangzhu tribe. Bu Chi had just arrived when he was wiped out by "If we can't reach an agreement, we'll cut him down".

The most terrifying thing was that fifty extraordinary warriors had no power to fight back when they could not reach an agreement and just attacked one person. That guy used a weapon that people had never seen before, and in less than a minute, he beat the extraordinary warriors who rushed over like a tide into a pulp.

It is said that many people now believe that this person is the descendant of Xiao Yuting, and this terrifying weapon is the Xiao family's Torrential Pear Blossom Nail!
When Ke Lizhi heard Gu Tianchi and Xu Guanghai talking about this, he was completely stunned. It was not until Gu Tianchi called him several times when he was talking to him that he came back to his senses.

Although he just smiled on the surface and explained that he was distracted because he was too shocked, Ke Lizhi's heart was bleeding.

He knew he was finished.

Just because he casually killed a newcomer, everything he had managed in the spiritual realm was destroyed. Not only was the territory of Huangzhulin gone, but even in the Burning Heaven Society, he would be swept into the garbage heap.

What was even more terrifying was that the other party was so powerful, and he died at the gate of the Gurong tribe. If the other party was determined to guard the body, he would never be able to enter the spiritual realm in this life.

At that moment, Ke Lizhi was completely stunned and his mind was blank.

"While you are in the spiritual realm, pay attention to investigate this person. If you cannot reach an agreement, you will be killed. If you have any information about this person, report it to the sect, and the sect will reward you. In addition, you must not provoke this person. Do you hear me?"

Recalling his master's instructions in his mind, Ke Lizhi was extremely depressed at this moment.

If you meet someone in reality, you can't mess with him. If you meet someone in the spiritual world, you can't mess with him. What bad luck has happened to me these past two days? I have run into obstacles everywhere I go.

Therefore, although Ke Lizhi was able to hold his nerve in front of others, he was actually very nervous. He was already thinking about how he should beg for mercy if he entered the spiritual realm again, so that he would appear more pitiful and sincere, and the other party would show mercy and let him go.

It is said that because of that guy's strange weapon, the entire spiritual realm is now shaken. Even the bosses of the high-level spiritual realm have issued orders to send people to Xianlai Town to collect information.

How can such a person be qualified to be my enemy?

"Brother Lizhi, what are you thinking about?"

Ke Lizhi was absent-minded when he heard a clear and pleasant voice. He turned his head and saw Ji Xinrui from the Ji family in Nanjun Feicui City. The girl had a pink face and a beautiful smile, looking at him with admiration.

The Ke family and the Ji family lived in the same city and had been friends for decades. Ji Xinrui was Ke Lizhi's number one fan.

"Nothing." Ke Lizhi forced a smile.

Ji Xinrui looked slightly worried and guessed softly, "Is it because of what happened during the day?"

At this time, other people gathered around. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ke Lizhi knew that he had to say something - ever since Yuanshanlou lost face at the gate of the garrison fort during the day, everyone has been discussing this matter for the past few hours, asking about the news about the Su family, and waiting for him to give a definite answer.

Ke Lizhi felt a little regretful - he should have just followed his master quietly at that time. Why did he get so excited and point his finger at Su Daoshan, making a gesture as if threatening that this matter would not be over yet?

Ke Lizhi didn't know the term "idol burden", but he felt that with so many people watching, it would not be his style if he just left quietly. No matter what, he had to have an attitude. As an iconic figure among the disciples of Xiazhou Sect, Ke Lizhi knew very well how many eyes were staring at him.

At the time, Ke Lizhi thought his actions were very cool. Later, when a group of girls around him looked at him, their eyes were full of admiration.

But now...

Thinking about it, Ke Lizhi's mind moved, half-closed his eyes, and said coldly: "That Su Daoshan is not simple. Not only does he have the support of Han Gu behind him, but it is also said that he has a close relationship with the military. To be honest, if it were in the martial arts world, I would definitely not let him go, but now in the army, it is the will of the master and elders, and it is also for the overall situation..."

The sect disciples looked at each other in disappointment.

Just then, Ke Lizhi raised his head, looked around at everyone, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"However, the elders are the elders, and we are ourselves. We don't understand those messy social etiquettes. Since the army openly favors them, let them favor them. If they ask us to stay away, we should just stay away. From today on, the Dongjun, Nanjun, and Yuanshan Tower, which are all related to each other, will draw a clear line with them..."

After hearing what Ke Lizhi said, some quick-reacting disciples of the sect had already understood what was going on, and they all gave a thumbs up and agreed, "Yes!"

“Isolate them!”

"I don't say a word to them. I don't cooperate with them if there is anything going on in the army."

"Tell them to get as far away as possible!"

******
It's a cool winter night.

After Su Yu took Xixi away, Su Daoshan read a book in the room for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and let Huamei, who was sleeping with him that night, go to sleep first, and went out under the pretext of going for a walk.

Yue Zhen's house is located in the fifth block between Qiquchi and Sujiabao, not far away.

It was late at night and the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear. When Su Daoshan stopped his horse in front of an ordinary-looking farmhouse and tied the reins to the wooden stake at the door, he heard a series of light footsteps.

With a creak, the gate opened. The watery moonlight poured in. Yue Zhen's pretty figure appeared before him.

The girl was wearing ordinary farm girl's clothes, with her long hair tied up in a bun like a married woman. She had no makeup on, and came out with a smile as cheerful as plain noodles.

"My husband is back."
