Chapter 38: Chapter Thirty-Seven: Little Troublemaker

「Finally, it's 100%。」

Su Qing looked at the light curtain, feeling a surge of satisfaction; he thought the twenty-day wait was worth it.

Since the download is complete, the next step is installation.

He was pondering.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly rang in his ear.

「You're that Eastern Kingdom person? 」

Su Qing's train of thought was interrupted by the sudden voice; his eyelid twitched, he put away the light curtain, lifted his head to look toward the voice, and discovered that several people were standing before him at some point, leaving him momentarily dazed.

「Hey, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf? 」

Seeing Su Qing sitting there foolishly silent, Weite furrowed his brows, feeling quite dissatisfied.

「Ah! 」

Having come to his senses, Su Qing leaned against the wall and stood up.

Taking a closer look in the light, he saw the speaker was a little blond in a neat suit, who at that moment was glaring at him with a displeased face.

「What's going on? 」

Su Qing was completely baffled; he didn't seem to know any little blond, but out of basic courtesy he still asked, "Are you looking for me? I don't seem to know you."

「You don't know me, but I know you! 」 the little blond's eyes turned playful.

Hearing that tone, those words, and seeing that expression, Su Qing instantly realized: "Those who come are not kind, and the kind do not come!"

His tone shifted, and he said lightly, "I have other business; make way."

Weite was taken aback by the words.

He quickly reacted, pulling a face, and said with an ugly expression, "You lowly commoner, how dare you enter the tomb chamber? I seriously suspect you're a spy sent by the Wolf Clan—come with me!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the six or seven people behind him swarmed forward.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, you Wolf Clan spy!" Weite's mouth curled in a cold smile; he didn't even care about the yellow-skinned monkey before him. What he valued was the Selinna behind that yellow-skinned monkey. Since Amiliya Elder appointed him as acting second-in-command, the situation in the main house has been shifting: those people appear respectful and fearful on the surface, but secretly they defy him, not taking him seriously at all.

Furthermore, many voices supported Weike Duo's adopted daughter, saying that Selinna, whether in seniority or in the merit of slaying wolf people, was more suited than him for the acting second-in-command position.

This made him extremely furious.

Although Selinna had never shown any indication, Weite always believed the saying: "No wind, no waves."

Without Selinna's approval, how could such voices arise in the main house?

These past few days, he's been thinking about how to quell those voices, but Selinna's status as Weike Duo's adopted daughter leaves him helpless; he dare not act against Selinna.

It was tonight that an offhand remark from one of his subordinates—"Selinna that woman brought back a yellow-skinned monkey from outside"—gave him an idea.

He had merely intended to take Su Qing away under the pretext of being a "suspicious person" to target Selinna, but he never imagined that Selinna would actually bring that yellow-skinned monkey into the tomb chamber.

This practically handed him a perfect opportunity.

As long as he makes a fuss about this, even if Selinna is Weike Duo's adopted daughter, she'll have no chance at the acting second-in-command seat.

While Weite was still pondering his next move, his subordinates had already surrounded him, each looking at Su Qing with contempt, not taking him seriously at all, and jeering:

「Kid, just surrender quietly, or you'll regret it. 」

「A lowly commoner actually dares to enter our Blood Clan's most sacred tomb chamber. 」

「........ 」

Su Qing glanced around; these little thugs outnumbered the noble Blood Clan's Xiao Waisan—had they really got him figured out?

He stepped forward, swung his arms, and gave each of them a big slap.

「Slap-slap-slap——」

A series of slapping sounds rang out; when he looked again, the people were already down on the ground.

After finishing his move, Su Qing secretly shook his head, thinking he'd need to expend some technique, but he hadn't expected these people to be so weak.

"You..." Weite snapped to attention at the sound, seeing his lackeys sprawled on the ground while that yellow-skinned monkey stood upright; he immediately reacted, glaring at Su Qing with eyes wide open, about to shout a rebuke.

But before he could finish speaking, a big slap cut him off.

Seeing the little blond covering his face in disbelief, Su Qing stepped forward, grabbed his collar, raised his hand and delivered another slap, saying:

「You're good at pretending to be cool, huh? What's the use of pretending? To get by, you need power and background—what gang are you from? 」

This series of slaps and questions left Weite completely bewildered.

Upon hearing the question, he instinctively replied, "Acting Weite."

Hearing that, Su Qing blinked, then delivered another big slap and said:

「Oh, so you're Xiao Waisan! 」

Having said that, he released the collar, turned, and walked away.

"You..." Weite was cowed by Su Qing's aura, speechless, until he saw Su Qing walking faster and faster, even breaking into a run; only then did he react, shouting angrily, "You filthy lowly monkey, stop right there!"

Seeing his shouts had no effect, he turned and furiously kicked and stomped at his lackeys on the ground, yelling:

「You useless lot, how long are you going to lie there? Get up and chase after him! 」

Meanwhile, Su Qing leapt over the iron gate, ignored Ludexiu's strange glance, and ran straight toward Selinna's room.

This time, after beating Weite, he'd probably need to rely on Selinna's status to calm things down.

Really, I'm impressed.

The little blond in a black suit looked like a respectable tough guy; one would have thought he was just some Xiao Waisan thug, but he was actually the acting second-in-command appointed by Amiliya.

Damn.

Really, my luck's been awful; I was just waiting to install the bloodline, everything was fine.

I didn't expect this mess to pop up again.

While thinking, Su Qing hurried along; halfway there he ran into Selinna holding a flower vase.

「You're all right! 」 Selinna saw his appearance and her face lit up with joy.

Well, that's fine. Su scratched his head, embarrassed, and said: "However, I'm afraid things might go bad again; just now a yellow-haired guy provoked me, and I didn't think before beating him up. Only after the beating did I realize he was the acting deputy."

Selinna listened, somewhat speechless, but she didn't blame Su Qing, instead saying: "He probably went to find you to target me."

"Targeting you?" Su Qing said doubtfully.

Seeing this, Selinna briefly explained what had happened recently, and thus Su Qing also came to understand the whole story.

He exclaimed in surprise: "So, those guys are using your name to go against that Wite."

"Right." Selinna, a bit angry, said: "I've been busy preparing blood for you, completely unaware; by the time I found out, it had already been several days."

"Alright, it's my fault."

Su Qing felt helpless; over the past twenty days, he needed to consume at least fifteen catties of blood each day. Although the manor had stores, it couldn't possibly supply only him, so Selinna had to go out to collect blood to meet his needs.

This is how the current situation came about.
