Chapter 486: Resolution, Entering the Library Pavilion

Now, do I have the qualifications to intervene in your Xu family's affairs?

Su Yu's faint voice sounded in the ear of the Xu family elder.

It caused the Xu family elder's whole body to involuntarily tremble.

He knew very well that, if it weren't for Su Yu holding back at the end, he himself probably wouldn't even be able to get up.

For a moment, Su Yu instantly became immeasurably towering in the Xu family elder's heart.

He glanced at Su Yu with some apprehension, and his whole person seemed to have aged several years.

He said bitterly.

"You're joking, my lord... but please don't take out your earlier anger on the Xu family because of my words."

The Xu family elder knew very well that Su Yu's strength was unfathomable; if he intended to be hostile to the Xu family,

no one in the Xu family could match Su Yu.

For the sake of the entire Xu family, the Xu family elder instantly lowered his noble head.

There's nothing to be done; that's just how this world is.

If you're stronger than others, you can do whatever you want; but once you're not as strong as others,

you must lower your head.

This world, after all, is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Without strength or background, one can only become the lowest of people.

Xu Xiaotian listened to the Xu family elder's words, and his face showed endless fear.

A shade of deathly gray spread across his face.

He knew very well that, from now on, the subsequent developments were no longer something he could change.

The only thing that could be changed was that youth in white clothes.

Su Yu looked at the perceptive Xu family elder, gave a cold snort, and then said to Xu Yourong:

"I said before, helping you overthrow your third uncle, I have already done what I should do; now it's your turn!"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Xu Yourong's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked in disbelief at all this before her.

This sudden change made Xu Yourong feel as if she were in a dream.

But Xu Yourong, after all, is a heavenly prodigy of Jiyuan City, and she quickly came to her senses.

She had people disperse the surrounding onlookers; although today's affair will cause the Xu family to be laughed at by Jiyuan City for a while,

but Su Yu's appearance could make the members of the other two families wary.

After all, someone who can defeat the Xu family elder can naturally defeat their Heavenly Realm Fifth Layer experts.

And such a person is still Xu Yourong's reliance.

Naturally, as long as the other two families aren't foolish, they won't engage in any fire‑looting opportunism.

Soon, under Xu Yourong's orders, the disheveled battlefield was cleaned up spotless.

A moment later, in the Xu family's main hall.

The Xu family elder sat in the chief seat, with Xu Yourong beside him.

Below them was Su Yu.

It wasn't that they didn't want Su Yu to sit in the chief seat; after all, Su Yu's strength had already convinced them.

Rather, Su Yu didn't pay much attention to those demands.

On the hall's floor, three people knelt.

They were none other than Xu Xiaotian and the Xu family's great elder and second elder.

At this moment, Xu Xiaotian's body couldn't help trembling; he didn't know what awaited him next.

But he knew....

his good days were at an end.

Xu Yourong quickly recounted what had happened in the wilderness.

Upon hearing it, the Xu family elder instantly flew into a rage.

"Outrageous, you actually dare to harm your eldest brother's offspring; the quota of the Azure Dragon Hall is not something our Xu family can decide."

"Sending Yourong was because she has a chance to defeat the heavenly prodigies of the other two families."

"And Xu Ming is no match for the heavenly prodigies of the other two families!"

"After I went to the trouble of making you the head of the Xu family, is this how you exercise your Xu family's authority!"

The Xu family elder shouted hoarsely in anger.

"That's your eldest brother's own daughter, and you actually laid a hand on her! How dare you!"

After fully understanding the truth, the Xu family elder was completely enraged.

He never expected his own biological son to actually strike his granddaughter.

If it had been earlier at the Xu family gate, he would have thought it was false.

But now, after Xu Yourong thoroughly told him the events, and Xu Xiaotian did not refute,

it let him fully believe this matter.

Beside him, Su Yu lightly took a sip of tea and pursed his lips.

One must admit, the tea of Heaven Beyond Heaven is tastier than that of the Myriad Races Continent.

One can even sense energy fluctuations from the tea.

It is practically a necessity for nurturing the body.

As for Su Yu's feelings toward the Xu family elder, they are not very good either.

A person who doesn't even investigate the truth of matters, but acts according to his own nature.

And how could one possibly go that far?

Xu Xiaotian knelt on the ground, his face ashen, looking at his father and letting out a bitter laugh.

"Father, the winner becomes king, the loser becomes bandit—this is what you taught me."

"The quota for the Azure Dragon Hall is extremely precious; I also know that with Ming'er's ability, they cannot contend for the Azure Dragon Hall's quota."

"But Xu Yourong cannot enter the Azure Dragon Hall!"

Even by this point, Xu Xiaotian still had not admitted fault.

Seeing Xu Xiaotian's stubborn appearance, Old Master Xu flew into a rage.

He suddenly rose to his feet, glaring angrily at Xu Xiaotian.

"If Yourong enters the Azure Dragon Hall, our whole Xu family will bask in its glory—why can't they go in?"

"Even if you have been suppressing Yourong everywhere these days, I believe Yourong will out of respect for me not make things difficult for you."

"Only if the Xu family keeps getting better can you enjoy greater power—don't you know that?"

Old Master Xu looked at his own son with frustration, wishing he were stronger.

Xu Xiaotian seemed to have completely given up, knowing he could not turn the tide.

He simply became indifferent.

He let out a cold laugh.

"I know that if someone from my Xu family can enter the Azure Dragon Hall, our Xu family will naturally prosper."

"But Father… you seem to have mistaken something…"

A sickly smile hung on his face.

"Since he's here today, I simply cannot possibly survive…"

The "him" Xu Xiaotian referred to was naturally Su Yu.

He glanced at Su Yu and said, "Although I don't know how Xu Yourong found such an aide as you, I have suffered at your hands."

"But… Xu Yourong has one matter that fell into my hands."

"Her father, that is, my elder brother…"

"I killed him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire main hall fell silent instantly.

Xu Yourong and the Xu family elder stared at Xu Xiaotian in disbelief.

Xu Xiaotian seemed to have spoken his heartfelt words, and his whole person appeared extremely relieved.

He even rose directly to his feet, looked at Su Yu, and gave a faint smile.

"Su Yu, right? You could help Xu Yourong kill me—too bad Xu Yourong's father cannot be resurrected!"

Xu Xiaotian's face was filled with a sickly smile.

"You… you… how could you do such a heinous, treasonous act!"

The Xu family elder pointed at Xu Xiaotian, trembling as he spoke.

Xu Xiaotian said calmly, "As long as my elder brother lives a day, I cannot turn things around in this household for a day."

"So… he must die!"

"I will kill you!"

Xu Yourong flew into a rage, thrusting a palm strike that slammed heavily into Xu Xiaotian's chest.

Xu Xiaotian's cultivation had been sealed by Su Yu, so under Xu Yourong's assault he had no power to resist.

As the palm fell, blood spurted forth.

"Pfft!"

Xu Xiaotian's body was violently flung backward, finally crashing to the ground as his vitality faded away.

Xu Yourong gazed at the dead Xu Xiaotian, her chest rising and falling continually.

Although she had suspected Xu Xiaotian, she also lacked direct proof that her father was killed by him.

Now, Xu Xiaotian's self‑explosion naturally laid everything bare.

Watching Xu Yourong make her move, Old Master Xu also did not intervene, merely closing his eyes as if he had aged decades in an instant.

A wisp of funeral qi emanated from Old Master Xu's body.

After a moment, Old Master Xu slowly said to Su Yu.

"Please excuse my poor hospitality, little friend—my household has met misfortune!"

Su Yu took a light sip of tea and paid no heed.

After all, this is still the Xu family's affair, nothing to do with me.

My intervention was solely because of my deal with Xu Yourong.

After all, I still need to get a grasp of this world.

Therefore, I need to enter the Xu family's Library Pavilion and, by the way, enhance my own strength.

Old Master Xu looked at the two elders—the Great Elder and the Second Elder—still kneeling on the ground, a grim glint flashing in his eyes.

"You two…"

"Please spare our lives, ancestors—we two had no part in the affair between Xu Xiaotian and the family head."

"We too were deceived; we simply do not know the truth."

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder hurriedly bowed to Old Master Xu, begging for mercy.

Xu Yourong looked at the already deceased Xu Xiaotian, and the knots in her heart seemed to untie.

She said to Old Master Xu.

"Grandfather, for now let them off; the Xu family now precisely needs people—let them redeem themselves through service!"

Although the Xu family still had Old Master Xu presiding, these two were both experts at the fourth level of the Heaven Realm.

For the Xu family, they were still rare experts.

"Everything... I leave to you to handle."

Old Master Xu sighed and said calmly.

Then he disappeared from the hall.

Xu Yourong took a deep breath, and after having the two dealt with, looked toward Su Yu.

"Young Master Su, today's matter is all thanks to you."

Xu Yourong looked at Su Yu, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light.

Su Yu said calmly, "No need to thank me. We merely have a cooperative relationship. Where is your Xu family's Book Pavilion? Take me there."

Xu Yourong's expression froze slightly, a hint of disappointment in it.

She gave a bitter smile.

"Of course. Someone like Young Master Su would never look favorably upon me."

Xu Yourong said silently in her heart.

But very quickly, she displayed the bearing of Jiyuan City's number one genius, her expression shifting with remarkable speed.

"Young Master Su, follow me!"

Then, under Xu Yourong's lead, they arrived at an antique-style pavilion.

Above the pavilion's entrance, there were gilded characters.

"Book Pavilion!"

"Young Master Su, this is my Xu family's Book Pavilion. Although my Xu family is not a great family of the Southern Domain, we have still accumulated some cultivation methods and Martial Techniques. I just don't know whether they will be worthy of your discerning eyes, Young Master."

Xu Yourong said with a smile.

Although she did not know why Su Yu wanted to enter the Xu family's Book Pavilion, after all, in her view, Su Yu was a disciple of a major power.

Normally speaking, someone like him should look down upon their family's foundation.

Su Yu glanced around and said, "I can take some of your Xu family's cultivation methods and Martial Techniques, right?"

Xu Yourong was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Young Master Su has done me such a great favor. As long as it does not involve the Xu family's family-guarding treasure, you may take whatever you wish, Young Master Su."

This point, Xu Yourong did not mind much. The Xu family's most top-tier cultivation methods and Martial Techniques were all in Old Master Xu's hands.

Even if Su Yu entered, he would not be able to see them.

As for the other cultivation methods and Martial Techniques, they were all low-level ones. Even if Su Yu took them all, it would not matter.

Su Yu nodded and entered the Book Pavilion directly.

Watching Su Yu's figure disappear into the Book Pavilion, a trace of wistfulness revealed itself on Xu Yourong's face.

At this time, Old Master Xu's figure appeared beside Xu Yourong at some unknown point.

"Yourong, someone like young friend Su will not be confined to a small place like Jiyuan City."

Xu Yourong forced a smile and said, "Grandfather, I know. It's just—Grandfather, are you not worried about letting Young Master Su enter the Book Pavilion?"

Old Master Xu smiled faintly. "What is there to worry about? The ones inside are all copies. Even if they are emptied out, it does not matter. It is you, Yourong..."

He looked at Xu Yourong, his expression somewhat complicated.

As Yourong's grandfather, he knew his granddaughter better than anyone.

After all, he had watched her grow up.

"If you want to catch up to young friend Su's footsteps, you must enter the Azure Dragon Hall."

Xu Yourong paused, lowering her head so that people could not see her expression.

"The Azure Dragon Hall..."

An unusual light circulated within Xu Yourong's beautiful eyes.

Old Master Xu looked at Xu Yourong's appearance, smiled slightly, patted her shoulder, and said.

"In half a month, the Azure Dragon Hall's stewards will arrive. Perform well then. Once you enter the Azure Dragon Hall, the sea will be vast enough for fish to leap."

Xu Yourong nodded heavily.

At the same time, inside the Book Pavilion.

As soon as Su Yu entered, he smelled waves of ink fragrance.

Casually picking up a Martial Technique, Su Yu glanced at it and could tell that these were all copies, not originals.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yu still summoned the Synthesis Slot.

"I wonder if copies can be synthesized."

Su Yu tried placing two fifth-level cultivation method copies into it, then finally clicked on synthesize.

Amidst a flash of golden light.

In the Synthesis Slot's position, a sixth-level cultivation method appeared.

Su Yu's eyes lit up. "It actually works."

Su Yu looked at the dazzling array of cultivation methods and Martial Techniques, the corners of his lips curving into a slight smile.

"Since they're all copies, it shouldn't be too much for me to use them all for synthesis!"

Su Yu's gaze was somewhat fervent. If he thoroughly synthesized all these cultivation methods and Martial Techniques.

He wondered whether he would be able to fully synthesize the Great Desolation Heaven-Devouring Art and the Nine Dragons Heaven Saber.

With that in mind, Su Yu began to take action.

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu jolted upright from the bed. Please,

He took great gulps of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Bewilderment, incomprehension—various emotions surged into his heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, only to become even more bewildered.

A single dormitory room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he ought to be in a hospital ward right now.

And his own body… how could it be without a single injury.

Puzzled, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror by the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance—around seventeen or eighteen years old, quite handsome.

But the problem was, this was not him!, read the latest chapter content ad-free and for free

His former self was a striking, handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for some time.

Yet now, this face looked no matter how you saw it to be only of high school age…

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Please don't tell him the surgery was a success…

His body and face had both changed—this was no longer a matter of surgery or not, but of immortal arts.

He had completely turned into another person!

Could it be… that he had transmigrated?

Besides that mirror by the head of the bed, whose placement was clearly bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up for a look, and the book titles instantly rendered him silent.

"New Beast Tamer's Essential Beast-Rearing Manual"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Appraisal Guide for Exotic Race Beast-Ear Girls"

Shi Yu:???

The first two book titles were still fairly normal, but what was going on with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's expression turned stern, and he reached out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.

Just as he wanted to open the third book and see what exactly this thing was, his brain suddenly throbbed with a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged forth like a tide.
