This place is fun

Chapter 48 What a coincidence
Sujiabao, ancestral hall hall.

Motes of dust floated in the oblique beam of sunlight, and the room was completely silent.

Everyone in the Su family was either sitting or standing, looking stunned. Occasionally they looked at each other, their eyes revealing extreme confusion and puzzlement.

I can’t understand!
Now, the outside world is already in an uproar. It can be said that the eyes of the whole city are instantly focused on the Su family with the bloody incident in Mijiazhuang.

Especially in the Su Family Castle, it was as lively as a festival. The castle dwellers and clansmen, who were previously in a heavy mood and uneasy, were now all glowing and spitting. Many people swore and declared that they had known that the family would give the Mi family a hard blow!
Do you really think the Su family is easy to mess with?

In the past few years, the Su family had given in to the Mi family because they didn't want to argue with a small family. Half a year ago, the death of the eighth uncle Su Jingqi was found to be related to the Mi family, and they were already deadly enemies. And the fire in Jinse Town three months ago left no room for maneuver.

That’s why we attacked the Mi family’s property outside the city last night and captured Mi Xiang.

This thunder strike is just a warning!
It would be fine if the Mi family just admitted defeat, but who would have thought that the Mi family would still dare to struggle to the death. Mi Ye also used his means to the extreme, daring to kidnap the eldest son of the Su family in the city, which was simply outrageous and presumptuous. He didn't know how to write the word death at all!

Mi Ye didn't even think about it. Since the Su family had already taken action, how could they not have a back-up plan?
Su Qihong was famous for his meticulous planning and never fought a battle without confidence. Even Emperor Taizu praised his military tactics as "interlocking, step-by-step, and well-founded!" As a descendant of the Su family, how could he have lost all his skills in just a few years?
Many of the elders in the clan who had followed Su Qihong in the front and back of the battles were still alive!
Just as the Mi family captured Su Erdai, the Su family rescued him and retaliated by killing five people from his family.

Shock the whole city!

If you just ask around, you will find that the whole city is going crazy. In the past, those guys pointed fingers at the Su family and ridiculed them for being weak. Now, if they are asked to speak, they will spit in their faces, not to mention opening their mouths. They dare not even raise their eyelids!
A bunch of ignorant people who have never seen the world.

Only the real people from Sujiabao know that for the Su family, such means are just common and not surprising at all!

If I really show my methods, humph, I will scare you to death!

"Not surprising at all!"

Listening to the noisy discussions outside, the mood of the people in the hall was extremely complicated. What was done and what was not done, who could know better than them?
Those guys outside were shameless and boastful, but those people in charge of the clan were all still confused.

Especially Su's mother, who would look at Su Xianyi from time to time.

If she hadn't been sitting here, staring at her youngest son with her own eyes, without moving at all, she would have almost thought that Su Xianyi had carried her out.

And who else could it be except Su Xianyi!
Thinking of this, Su's mother stood up suddenly.

Before, she was just taking people to exchange and could wait here, but now, things suddenly turned in an unpredictable direction, which made her unable to sit still.

"Go to the Tri-Pagoda!"

The most important question now is, where did Su Daoshan go?
# # #
Su Daoshan bit his fingernails and listened carefully to the noise outside.

The mezzanine space of the wing room was cramped and small, and the air was turbid. He had to maintain a curled-up position like a fetus to squat on a beam that was only as thick as his calf.

About two quarters of an hour had passed.

People outside came and went, and came and went. The sounds of chaotic footsteps, screams, howls, scolding and cursing never stopped.

With the extraordinary qualities of a scholar, Su Daoshan knew the situation outside like the back of his hand.

The first to discover the body were two Mi family guards. They were at the gate of the courtyard within half a minute of me hiding inside. They were so frightened that their voices changed. Following behind the guards were nearby residents, who screamed and the news spread quickly.

Then, the elders of the Mi family led a large group of guards and rushed over at the first opportunity. After seeing the bodies of Mi Luo and others, the group of people were like crazy and desperately dispatched people to block the entire Third Block and search for the murderer. At the same time, they sent out fast horses to pass on the message.

Then there was the sound of rummaging through boxes.

Not only was this old house turned upside down, but every courtyard, every house, and every corner of the surrounding streets were searched several times. All nearby residents, regardless of gender, age, or status, were gathered together and questioned one by one.

The situation is a bit thrilling.

I don't know if they were pushed too far, but the Mi family actually opened the ceiling of the house and checked everywhere. The sound was almost right next to my ears. There were even people who were checking on the roof, stepping on the tiles above their heads several times.

If this mezzanine space wasn't too small, normal people wouldn't suspect this place. And if Sujia Village wasn't too big, more manpower and energy would be needed to block and search a larger area. Su Daoshan felt that he might have been discovered.

Later, Su Daoshan heard that Mi Ye was coming.

When they were at Jinfeng Tower, he sounded so tyrannical and domineering when he gave Su Wan his ultimatum.

After that, he dared to order the arrest of me in the city, which was also straightforward and decisive. Especially in the conversation with Mi Lang, when he said that the Su family must be annihilated in the future, he showed the spirit of a hero, which can be described as ruthless and cruel, with the eyes of an eagle and the eyes of a wolf.

As soon as he entered the yard, he vomited blood and fainted.

Terrible! I despise this kind of people the most. The governor is allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps - you can arrest me but I can't kill your son? Besides, it's just two sons who died, your future grandson also lost his father, what do you think people say?

The Mi family is so large, why not adopt a few of them?
Is it so important to be a biological child?
The most annoying thing is that this guy howled after waking up. It was full of pain, anger, misery, and sadness...

It has caused my heart to beat irregularly until now.

Su Daoshan held his breath and continued to listen carefully.

By this time, Mi Ye and the bigwigs of the Mi family had all left, the bodies had been packed up and taken away, and everything that needed to be searched had been completed. The Mi family's manpower and attention had been shifted to other places, leaving only a few guards and servants behind in the courtyard.

Just as he was thinking about how to slip away, Su Daoshan's ears suddenly pricked up - two faint wind sounds came quickly, and then, there were footsteps landing on the roof of the ear room.

Then, there were a few crisp clinking sounds on the tiles, as if some nail or iron sheet had fallen on them.

This voice gave Su Daoshan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"who is it?"

"Do we have to search this place again?"

Su Daoshan was just thinking quickly when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the tiles above his head, like a guest knocking on the door. "Come out," a man's voice sounded.

Su Daoshan was so frightened that he was completely stunned. He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by someone and was almost stagnant.

"I know you're in there," the man said in a cold voice, "You can't escape. Do you want to come out on your own, or do I catch you?"

Really discovered?! Su Daoshan was heartbroken.

"No! Regardless of whether it's a test or not, you can't take the initiative to go out!"

"When they lift up the roof, I'll pretend to be unconscious. I'll say I don't know what happened. I was knocked unconscious and stuffed in here. I don't know what happened."

Su Daoshan was thinking quickly, and at the same time, he was thinking of a plan: As a nerd who knows nothing, when he "wakes up", what kind of expression should he have? What kind of confused and angry reaction should he have?

One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage. All of this needs to be rehearsed in advance.

However, Su Daoshan felt a little strange in his panic. If the Mi family had found him, they would have made a big fuss and surrounded the place. But now, apart from the two figures passing by, there was no other movement.

Even the Mi family guards and servants in the yard were doing what they were supposed to do just like before, with no reaction at all.

Just then, a woman's voice sounded above my head.

"Come out."

Hearing this voice, Su Daoshan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. All his previous questions were answered.

As his mind moved, his body turned into mist, and the next second he appeared in front of Fan Caiyi.

"Su Daoshan greets Senior Sister Fan!" Su Daoshan saluted in a serious manner. At the same time, he quickly glanced at the middle-aged man next to Fan Caiyi, secretly speculating in his heart.

This man looked to be in his forties, tall and graceful. But when he looked at me, he seemed to be smiling, and his eyes deliberately showed an unfriendly look. However, since he was with Fan Caiyi, he was naturally not a member of the Mi family.

Therefore, he had just spoken in that tone just to scare himself.

Who the hell is so boring? Thinking of the rumors in the past few days, Su Daoshan had a rough idea in his mind, but he asked, "I wonder who this person is..."

"Xie Xunbai." The middle-aged man spoke on his own without using Fan Caiyi's introduction.

It was indeed him! Su Daoshan's face showed a look of admiration and surprise. He straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly: "Disciple Su Daoshan, I pay my respects to you, elder!"

Since he has not formally become a disciple yet, he cannot accurately address the elders in Hangu Sect and can only call them "Respected Elders".

"My Lord..." Xie Xunbai sneered, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked him up and down, and asked directly, "When did you pass the recuperation period?"

Su Daoshan didn't know that he had been seen through. He glanced at Fan Caiyi awkwardly and answered honestly, "It was the night when I established my Dao aspirations. But I didn't know much about it at the time, and I didn't know where to start. It wasn't my intention to deceive Senior Sister Fan..."

Fan Caiyi snorted coldly and glanced at him indifferently, obviously not believing a word he said.

"Song Xier looks more charming and lively, and more feminine." Su Daoshan secretly smacked his lips, thinking that her appearance of a snow fairy was simply a dead face. Like an iceberg. I don't know why so many young talents in the world are obsessed with her and flock to her.

"Okay, no need to explain," Xie Xunbai waved his hand to interrupt Su Daoshan, and then asked, "How many special skills have you mastered?"

"Two!" Su Daoshan's heart skipped a beat and he answered without hesitation, then added respectfully, "Reading and copying."

Sure enough.

Xie Xunbai and Fan Caiyi looked at each other, both breathed a sigh of relief, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

"Okay." Seeing that the boy was quite honest in front of him, Xie Xunbai nodded, and his eyes softened. He turned his head and glanced at the ground in the yard, which was still stained with black and red blood, and asked, "Tell me what your plan is right now..."

What else is there to say?

Su Daoshan smiled sheepishly, bowed respectfully and said, "Let the master decide!"

Xie Xunbai's face darkened. This kid's words could be said in another way: "You guys decide what to do. Anyway, I'm leaving the trouble to you."

Yet he is still so sanctimonious and pure as ice.

Xie Xunbai snorted coldly and said deliberately: "First, on the surface, you have no relationship with the sect, so it is inconvenient for us to intervene. Second, even Han Gu cannot do whatever he wants. You killed five children of the Mi family at once. It is not convenient for us to take over such a blood feud without a reason."

Su Daoshan apologized with a smile: "Sir, I didn't kill him."

Xie Xunbai and Fan Caiyi were both stunned.

Xie Xunbai asked thoughtfully: "Who killed him? Did I kill him?"

"Not really," Su Daoshan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who killed him..."

"Oh?" Xie Xunbai asked curiously.

"In fact, this morning, I was going to find Senior Sister Fan and ask her to introduce me to you, the elder. Because I heard that you have been clearing out the refugee camps in Beijun these days and killed many demon cultivators and alien species, especially the Dog Head Fort camp in the south of the city has been disbanded..."

After hearing this, Xie Xunbai and Fan Caiyi understood everything.

The hairs stood on end in cold blood. The young man in front of him, who had pushed the Mi family into the abyss with just one hand, had a bright and cheerful smile on his face: "I didn't expect to meet you here, elder. What a coincidence."
