Chapter 423 Test

Su Dieyin might have notified the other branches after she left. Nobody came for Su Li for the rest of the night.

It was different for Su Fengchun and Su Meng. Even though they had accepted the offers and the two heads of the two branches had notified the other branches, they still got visitors afterward, since the last four branches were less respected.

As it was almost dawn, another batch came. The faint screams of the two fell into Su Li’s ears through the tactical matrix in the room. “Hum, this should be the fifth batch, at the peak stage of Jindan Realm…”

Su Li murmured and turned back to sit on the futon.

The early morning, when the purple air came from the east, was the best time for practicing which Su Li would never miss, even if the others had missed it!

One hour later, it was already bright as the purple air dispersed.

Su Li stretched herself and opened the door, seeing that the doors of Su Fengchun’s and Su Meng’s rooms were open.

Actually, the doors were gone.

At this time, Su Yuanhai returned from outside, glanced at Su Li who was already waiting at the door, shouting in a deep voice, “The spirit boat is about to leave for the tea party for immortals. Su Fengchun, Su Meng, what are you waiting for!”

Nothing happened in the rooms, and Su Yuanhai got angry. His voice driven by the force of Yuanying Realm swarmed into the two rooms,

“If you don’t show yourselves in three seconds, you can just piss off! It is enough that Su Jiuzhou goes to the tea party alone!”

This had driven the two out of the rooms finally. Although they were neatly clothed, their faces… were swollen!

Su Meng and Su Fengchun were shocked to see each other’s swollen face and froze for a second. Then, they were relieved and smiled with their sausage-shaped lips.

It was better to get embarrassed with someone else.

Seeing their faces, Su Yuanhai showed an unhappy expression and almost wanted to drop them and took Su Li alone with him at this moment. He already knew that Su Jinnan and Su Linchen had recruited them and had to take them together.

“Dead dogs. Shame on you!”

Su Yuanhai scolded. Su Fengchun and Su Meng felt aggrieved. They did not ask for it. The first two batches just tested them nicely, while the later batches were not so polite and showed them no mercy.

They flocked to Su Meng and Su Fengchun and hit them only on face. A tactical matrix was also set up in the room to prevent them from escape.

The comers also cast a secret method on their faces so that the swelling would not be reduced in a few days. They would be the joke on the way to the tea party.

A few moments later, Su Yuanhai and his disciples came to the stone platform where the spirit boat was parked. Once Su Fengchun and Su Meng showed up, the crowd burst out laughing.

“Haha, why are two pig-headed dumb asses going to the tea party for immortals? Have the requirements become so low nowadays?”

“They have been unsympathetic to me for a long time. I wonder who has done this. It’s so cool!”

“Hum, if it were not for the heads of two branches, they might have lost their arms or legs and lain in bed now.”

“I heard that they have accepted the offers. After all, whoever understands the times is a good man. I Just feel pity for the head of the Seventh Branch.”

“Su Jiuzhou seems to be….”

“Hush! Not a word about the first three branches! That would endanger your life!”

The man became pale with fear and stopped talking.

Su Yuanhai stood by the stone platform and heard every word of the whisper, feeling increasingly embarrassed. Su Fengchun and Su Meng heard that too. After a short while, when they saw the head of the Sixth Branch Su Jinnan, alone, and the head of the Fourth Branch, Su Linchen, they felt uneasy.

Su Yuanhai snorted coldly and transmitted a voice to them. After a short time, with his face relaxed a little bit, he said, “Get lost as you planned! Never come back to the Seventh Branch. I will get your servants thrown out later.”

Su Fengchun and Su Meng froze for an instant. Then they nodded silently and went to their new branches without hesitation.

Many disdained them as they saw the scene, but they were not bold enough to mock them before the heads of two branches.

Sometime later, Su Dieyin arrived with her disciples.

Su Yuanhai hurriedly took Su Li over and Su Dieyin was not surprised to see them approaching. She smiled and transmitted a voice, “Have you made up your mind, Head of the Seventh Branch?”

Su Yuanhai nodded slightly, then shook his head and transmitted, “Head of the Second Branch, you are right. Jiuzhou’s talent should not be wasted in my branch, but I must get the awards of this tea party for immortals, because the Seventh Branch is… too weak. I will use the resources to train a new group of disciples.”

Su Dieyin stared at Su Yuanhai with a complex feeling and pondered that he must be deeply hurt by Su Fengchun’s betrayal, so that he would put aside his sectarian bias and introduce disciples of other families.

She found it an incredibly promising idea, but the Seventh Branch would thus become even unpopular before the Head Branch.

“Head of the Seventh Branch, I agree to your conditions. I don’t care about that awards.”

Su Dieyin then glanced at Su Li, whose strength had not been revealed yet. Talents from the entire Jiuzhou Region would come to the tea party for immortals, even those who were invincible in their level or could fight with someone above their level.

She didn’t think Su Jiuzhou could certainly get the awards, but she obviously shouldn’t discourage Su Yuanhai now.

He was already poor enough.

Contemplating for a moment, Su Dieyin raised her eyes and continued to transmit her voice, “Besides, as long as Jiuzhou does a superior performance in my branch, I will share some resources to support the Seventh Branch.”

Excitement was shown on Su Yuanhai’s face immediately and he thanked her repeatedly.

The other heads of the last four branches were not so happy to see this.

“Where is a loss, there is a gain. Su Yuanhai, this social climber, now gets Su Dieyin’s support, tsk…”

“The Second Branch is only inferior to the Head Branch and its practice environment is at least three times better than ours. In two years, the Seventh Branch may no longer be the weakest but the Sixth Branch…”

Su Linchen and others looked at Su Jinnan, who put on a gloomy expression immediately, despite that he had just recruited Su Meng. He did not speak anymore.

After the conversation, Su Li secretly signaled to Su Yuanhai to ask Su Dieyin to take her to the tea party, while Su Yuanhai excused himself for an emergency.

Seeing that Su Yuanhai made a proper decision, Su Dieyin agreed and began planning to develop the bond with Su Li.

Meanwhile, others heading for the tea party for immortals came to the stone platform one after another and waited. When they all arrived, an elder of the Su Family opened the tactical matrix and invited them aboard. As the top-grade spirit boat made a powerful booming sound, it soared into the clouds and disappeared.

On the spirit boat, Su Li, thanks to Su Dieyin’s particular care, got a separate room just like the other disciples from the first three branches, while those from the last four branches were assigned to double rooms or even triple rooms.

Su Meng with his swelling face came out to get some fresh air and found Su Li enjoying the view of the cloud sea in front of her room. Jealousy emerged onto his eyes immediately.

He could not accept that he was only picked by the Sixth Branch but Su Jiuzhou by Su Dieyin. She didn’t even make a single move!

“That’s it! Su Jiuzhou never fought!”

As Su Meng thought of this, his eyes lit up, “She just seemed to be powerful by contrast to Su Fengchun. If she couldn’t satisfy Su Dieyin with her real strength, she might be abandoned!”

Su Meng’s mood fluctuated so strongly that Su Li instantly sensed it. But she did not care and returned to her room meditating.

She had been planning for the tea party for two years, and it went as planned. Although Su Dieyin was an unpredictable factor, that was not bad.

“After a thousand years, how many traces of mine are left in Yuxu Sect?”

“Mei Ruohan, I heard that you’ve got mad, and I would like to check out if that’s true…”

“Master, I hope you… never lied to me…”

Su Li caressed the Black Lotus Ring while leaning over the window and watching the cloud sea churning outside. Her dark eyes flashed with fluctuations that no one would ever understand. Hatred, confusion, and longing were mixed together, and the emotion became so complex that she didn’t want to think about it.

“The appellation of valuable livestock certainly did not come out of thin air. Although the saying sounds surreal that my flesh and blood could enhance the luck, the five brothers of the Su Family did have encountered a series of miracles and their cultivation soared…”

A flash flickered through Su Li’s eyes, and she heard Su Dieyin’s footsteps outside. Perhaps she knew the truth.

However, that’s not the well-known Reincarnation Mirror, she could not ask about it.

Not for now, at least.

The knock on the door sounded shortly afterward. Su Li opened the door, and it was Su Dieyin. She bowed and made way for Su Dieyin to walk in.

Su Dieyin shook her head and took out a universe ring, smiling, “Su Jiuzhu, here is the Cunzhen Elixir, which can remove the impurities in your Jindan and purify its power. If it is refined to a certain degree, it is possible to upgrade the Jindan and reach the peak stage of Jindan Realm. Although it is unlikely that you could reach that stage before the tea party for immortals, your strength will be enhanced greatly if you can refine your Jindan for a round.”

Su Li took the universe ring with appreciation and surprise in her eyes, saying, “Thank you, Head of Branch! I will work hard to refine it in the next few days!”

Su Dieyin’s eyes flickered subtly with a touch of disappointment, but she did not show any difference and left with a smile.

Su Li closed the door and smiled slightly.

“Little girl, you are too naive to test my strength by this trick.”

…

Su Dieyin returned to her room but still gazed at Su Li’s room. She frowned slightly, muttering, “If she did not reach the peak stage of Jindan Realm, how could she surpass Su Fengchun? Is it possible that she has also mastered some Genuine Tactics or got other winning cards?”

“Or maybe she has looked through my test and was intended to confuse me?”

Su Dieyin rubbed her glabella and dropped the last thought at once. Su Jiuzhu reacted so naturally. She couldn’t deliberately lie to her since she was simply happy to see something helpful.

How could a young girl who was less two hundred years old have those complex thoughts? If she did, she was really a genius!

Su Dieyin smiled at her thoughts.

Although Su Jiuzhou had never showed her strength, Su Dieyin still didn’t want to miss a two-hundred-year-old talent at the peak stage of Jindan Realm.

Her pupil skill wouldn’t lie.
