Tribulation of Myriad Races

When Su Yu walked out, he looked up at the sky. It was already dark. What a beautiful night. A moonless and windy night was the best night to kill. But he was afraid that those he wanted to kill would be hard to kill.

It wouldn't be an issue for those below the Mountainsea Realm, but what about those above that realm? As for the reason of the people who had intruded into his home and whether they meant well or not, why should it care?

He only knew that they had all entered without permission. Taking something without permission was the same as thievery.

Huang He was still waiting for him outside the neighborhood. When Huang He saw Su Yu, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Lang, did you find anything?"

"No." Su Yu smiled, "It's just an old house. If there is really a ruin here, I'll start walking with my hands from now on."

"You shouldn't be so confident."

Huang He reminded him that anything was possible.

Su Yu laughed before turning to look at Xia Bing. "Brother, who are the past visitors of Su Yu's house? I'll give the list of names to Su Yu later. With that, I wouldn't have come for nothing."

"No comment."

Su Yu shrugged, "Fine. I doubt the Xia Family will leave anything good behind."

Xia Bing coldly said, "Stop trying to throw mud on the Xia Family. Do you really think that the Xia Family is helpless against you outsiders?"

Su Yu smiled, "Forget it, then. How am I throwing mud at the Xia Family? That's the truth. Since a bunch of outsiders have entered Su Yu's house, are you telling me that the Xia Family has not done the same? Are you kidding me? That house is on the verge of being taken apart. It's clear just how many people have intruded into the house before."

Xia Bing remained silent. There were things that he was unaware of. As for what he knew, he didn't want to tell outsiders anything. After Su Yu left, he turned to stare at Su Yu's house silently.

He didn't know if anyone from the Xia Family had entered Su Yu's house before, but he knew that the Xia Family had tacitly agreed to some people entering the house. Those with strong backgrounds and good connections had all been allowed to enter. Thus, for some outsiders, Su Yu's house was no longer a forbidden ground.

He didn't know why the Xia Family had reached such a decision. He didn't know why the Xia Family was compromising. Was it because of Su Yu's departure? He had no answer. Xia Bing lowered his head. His faith and admiration toward the Xia Family was slowly dropping due to all these recent events.

The Xia Family...was no longer the same Xia Family. The Xia Family's blade was no longer as sharp.

They were allowing these outsiders to create all these troubles right within their territory. Xia Bing didn't know what the Xia Family was planning, but he knew that a lot of his old brothers were furious and disappointed.

Must the Xia Family be so soft? Where was the prefect? Xia Xiao'er was not worthy of his position as an acting prefect. They refused to acknowledge him.

In the past, they might have acknowledged him. But that was no longer the case. Xia Xiao'er had embarrassed the Xia Family and Great Xia. Xia Bing was even starting to suspect that there was a serious case of corruption. Why would he agree to let all these outsiders enter Su Yu's house otherwise?

The entire Great Xia was simmering with rage. Could Marquis Xia see that? Could he hear what the populace has been saying?

***

Su Yu and Huang He started strolling all over the city. This was a normal action. They were basically trying their luck. Perhaps they would get lucky and stumble on the ruin randomly. A lot of people were doing the same within the city.

As they walked, Su Yu said, "Brother Huang, just how many people have arrived in this small city? Are there big-shot Sunmoons among them?"

"There are some Mountainseas here, but not Sunmoons."

Huang He said, "This is still the territory of the Xia Family. They can tolerate a few Mountainsea dao protectors, but forget about Sunmoons. They might suspect a scheme against them if you send too many Sunmoons over. Don't forget what happened in Great Ming. With cult subjugation as the excuse, they killed five Sunmoons in one go. But to be honest. Are all five of them cultists?"

That might not be the case. Some of those Sunmoons might be the spies of some other powers. But they ended up dead. And what could the power behind them even do about it?

"No Sunmoons? How about those from the Xia Family?"

"I don't know about them."

Su Yu smiled and asked nothing else. Huang He wasn't sure, but he had an answer. Just about a kilometer away from them, a Sunmoon was observing him. This was probably the Sunmoon from the Xia Family.

Was this the same old man he met previously? During his departure from Great Xia, an old man had offered him help, but he had rejected it. He was thankful for that decision. If he had accepted that help, he wouldn't know what attitude he should have toward this old man now.

A Sunmoon of the Xia Family was present. But his house had still been broken into. Was this entire thing an act by the Xia Family or had an expert really sneaked into the city? Nobody knew.

Su Yu continued his stroll with Huang He. Whenever he saw someone he didn't know, he would ask about them. The young geniuses of the various prefectures had arrived in Nanyuan. And all of them were accompanied by their dao protectors.

Some were only protected by Cloudbreaches while some were protected by Mountainseas. No Sunmoon was in sight. That was also unnecessary as this place was still under the Xia Family's watch. Nothing bad would happen to these people so easily.

When it was getting late, Su Yu said, "Brother Huang, you arrived before me so you know this place better than me. Do you know any place with good services?"

"Hmm?"

"You understand what I'm talking about." Su Yu kept winking as he said, "Why are you pretending to not understand me?"

Finally, Huang He understood. He felt very helpless. So this fellow was really here to have some fun with the local beauties?

"I know one place..."

"I knew we're the same type of people, Brother Huang!"

Huang He didn't know what to say. He only felt like cursing.

After a long while, he said, "That's a normal place of relaxation. I don't know if they provide the special services you like, but I do know that they provide massage services. Are you interested?"

"Sure." Su Yu said, "Let's go together. I'll pay for it. I'm also quite picky. If I'm not satisfied with their offerings, I'll settle with a massage. I need something like that anyway since I have been on the road for a few days. It's quite tiring."

Tiring? Huang He felt like cursing. Just look at the spotless white robes on this fellow. He did not look like a tired traveler at all. Huang He didn't even feel like talking anymore.

Huang He was also a Skysoar, but he was only a fifth-stage Skysoar. As they walked, Su Yu suddenly asked, "Uhm, cough, Brother Huang, I forgot to ask this. Which family are you from? There are a lot of people with the same surname around. Which prefecture are you from?"

"..."

Huang He was feeling even more tired. But he still introduced himself, "I'm from Great Qi. We met once before. You must have forgotten about me..."

"Great Qi..." Su Yu thought about it and nodded, "Now I remember. I went there once in year 344. Did we meet that time?"

"Yes. Once."

"It has been seven years, so it's normal that I won't remember it. It's not like you're a beauty. The Huang Family of Great Qi..."

Su Yu thought for a bit before recalling that family, "There is a General Huang in Great Qi. Are you from this family? Not bad at all, Brother. Your ancestor is a Sunmoon. So you're a Sunmoon descendant. I have been assuming that you're from a common family like me."

Huang He smiled, "How can I compare against you? My ancestor is six generations apart from me. Our relationship isn't that close. A Sunmoon descendant will only benefit greatly if if they are within the first three generations."

"That's still not that bad. At least you're not sixteen generations apart." Su Yu smiled, "Don't you have a dao protector?"

"Not everyone will be assigned a dao protector." Huang He said, "Generally, you need to be a genius or someone from a family with very few descendants. Otherwise, you won't get a dao protector. What's the point of assigning a piece of trash dao protector when you have plenty of kids around? Am I right, Brother Lang?"

"True. I don't have a dao protector as well." Su Yu said with regret, "I asked for a Mountainsea dao protector from my teacher, but he refused. What a pity. With a dao protector, I would look a lot more impressive."

Finally, the two entered a building.
