Chapter 40: Cooperation

Having downloaded and installed Marcus's bloodline, the purpose of this trip to the big house is half accomplished.

Next is to kill Victor to avenge my deceased father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law.

However, this still needs careful planning; first we must deal with the gatekeeper Ludexiu, this guy is like a door god……

Thinking this, Su Qing walked out of the room toward Selinna's room.

But he hadn't walked far when he noticed something off—why are there so few people?

It's daytime now; vampires fear sunlight, so they usually stay inside the big house during the day and go out in large numbers at night.

Could something major have happened when the bloodline was installed last night?

Did werewolves attack the big house?

Full of doubts, Su Qing came to Selinna's door and knocked.

But after waiting a long time, there was no movement, and no one opened the door.

It seems she's not here!

Just as Su Qing was considering whether to go back and catch some sleep, footsteps came from his body; he instinctively turned his head and saw Selinna walking over.

Without waiting for him to speak, Selinna happily said, 'It's been seven days; you finally woke up!'

'Mm!' Su Qing first nodded with a smile, then suddenly realized, his eyes widening as he asked, 'You said it's been seven days?'

'Right, if you didn't wake up, I'd have to shake you awake.' Selinna said worriedly.

Hearing this, Su Qing felt a bit dazed; he had thought only a night had passed, not expecting it to be seven days—it really is……reasonable.

After all, it's the progenitor's bloodline; higher level consumes more time, which is understandable.

After quietly organizing his thoughts, Su Qing recalled the scenery he'd just seen and asked doubtfully, 'Did something happen? Along the way, why does it seem there are far fewer people?'

'Come in and say it!' Selinna shook her head, opened the door, brought Su Qing inside, and began her explanation.

Shortly after, Su Qing's expression changed; in the end he didn't know what to say.

All he could say was: 'Life is unpredictable, the big intestine wraps the small intestine!'

During the seven days he was asleep after installing the bloodline, many things happened in the big house.

First, Weite was beaten by him, then Amiliya called him over for a stern scolding, saying he was dazed by a slap, truly losing her face; if he can't handle it, he should step down and let someone more capable take his place!

Being beaten and scolded, Weite felt stifled and uneasy, eager to prove himself to his aunt that he could still serve as second-in-command.

Coincidentally, at that time a Blood Clan scout searching for werewolves outside discovered a werewolf lair; thus Weite set out with Ludexiu, intending to take down the lair to give Amiliya some face.

Unfortunately, who knows whether it was because he left without checking the almanac or stepped in dog dung along the way.

This guy kicked open the werewolf lair's door full of enthusiasm, but before he could shout, he was surrounded by over a dozen werewolves, pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly.

Ludexiu, who followed Weite's group, wanted to rescue him.

But as the saying goes, two fists can't fight four hands.

Ludexiu, an outstanding member of the Death Envoy, not only failed to rescue Weite but also became deeply trapped in the werewolves' encirclement, ultimately dying in battle.

'What about his corpse?' Su Qing remained silent for a moment, then asked aloud.

Selinna shook her head, said nothing, her eyes somewhat dim; although her relationship with Ludexiu had always been poor, he was still her teacher and comrade of a hundred years.

Seeing this,

Su Qing understood the meaning, didn't ask further, only feeling a bit regretful in his heart.

His impression of Ludexiu wasn't good, after all he had once almost killed him.

But setting aside personal grudges, he had to admit the other was a true man, a genuine warrior.

What a pity, he was just done in by Weite's scheme.

Su Qing had originally been hoping to download those master skills from Ludexiu's body after the bloodline installation, but who knew that upon waking, the person was just gone.

Now he must find a new target, but master-level skills are rare, and someone bearing five master skills is even rarer.

'Weite has been killed; now most of the Blood Clan in the big house have been sent out by the elders to hunt those werewolves.' Selinna didn't notice the regret in Su Qing's eyes, shifting the topic: 'This is a great opportunity!'

Su Qing nodded, agreeing: 'This really is an opportunity.'

Before, he didn't act because one, he needed to download Marcus's bloodline; two, Ludexiu guarded the iron door, making a silent attack nearly impossible and easily detected.

Now the internal forces of the big house are nearly empty; plus, with Ludexiu killed, the tomb's iron door has no one guarding it.

This is practically the best time to strike.

The two shared the same idea, both being doers, and immediately began discussing the timing of the attack in low voices.

They didn't part until the sky grew bright, each returning to their own room.

…………

That night, Su Qing went out alone under the pretense of hunting werewolves.

Then, following the clues, he found a werewolf and directly tossed out a sentence: 'Tell Luxien, if you want to kill Weite, come to the church top floor tomorrow night.'

Having said that, he ignored the wary werewolf and turned to leave.

That werewolf wanted to ambush from behind, but Su Qing was no longer as before; he simply flickered and vanished into the darkness.

Su Qing then found two or three werewolves in succession, repeating the same line in the same manner.

Afterward he returned to the big house to prepare for the evening meeting.

Time flew by; when night fell, he went out again.

Having been there once before, Su Qing was fairly familiar with the route; he sneaked along and soon arrived at the church top floor.

But as soon as he stepped up, he sensed something off—a familiar killing intent rushing quickly toward him!

Without a second thought, Su Qing shouted, 'Luxien, don't you want to avenge Sonia?'

As his words fell, in the darkness a stalwart werewolf halted its steps.

'Thud—'

Then footsteps sounded.

Su Qing turned his head toward the sound and saw a man with disheveled golden hair and an imposing aura walk out.

After seeing the man's appearance, Su Qing knew the comer was the Wolf King, Lu Xien.

"Kid, who are you? How do you know Suo Ni Ya?" Lu Xien stared fixedly at Su Qing, his eyes cold and ruthless, his tone icy yet hinting at sorrow and killing intent.

"Who I am, and why I know Suo Ni Ya, you don't need to know; you only need to know we share a common enemy." Su Qing's eyes hidden beneath his black robe fixed on the Wolf King, he said slowly: "Then, what is your decision?"

He knows better than anyone Lu Xien's hatred for Wei Ke Duo, and he isn't afraid Lu Xien will refuse.

Lu Xien's eyes flickered; his wife and children were killed before his eyes, and he wants to kill Wei Ke Duo more than anyone.

Centuries of waiting, every night a torment; as soon as he closes his eyes, the scene arises in his mind of Suo Ni Ya bathed in sunlight before him, turning into a cloud of dust.

So even if the black-clothed person's motives aren't pure, as long as he can help him kill Wei Ke Duo, that's enough, and he is confident in his own strength.

I agree!
