Chapter 83: The Fatherly Love One Dares Not Defy

Looking at Su Xinyuan's fearless demeanor, Su Yu knew his old man was no pushover. "You said this yourself, don't go regretting it once I say it."

"If you don't speak up, don't even think about stepping out of this house for the rest of the year. Stop stalling, or you can try me!" Although Su Xinyuan said this, it didn't dampen his interest in the matter in the slightest.

Su Yu slapped all the design blueprints in his hand onto the table in front of Su Xinyuan and said, "Actually, my idea is simple: establish an organization similar to Mingde Hall."

"Just this? Why do I feel like you're still hiding something from me?" Although Su Xinyuan said this, he still took all the blueprints Su Yu had placed on the table.

Watching the stack of blueprints he had spent who knows how long designing get confiscated by his old man, Su Yu was determined not to submit, but the next instant, the stack of blueprints vanished from his hands.

"Dad, you can't do this to me, this is all my hard work..."

Su Yu stared at the stack of blueprints already tucked into Su Xinyuan's Soul Guidance Device, his heart practically bleeding.

"Got it, got it, I'll return them to you later." Su Xinyuan was clearly someone who knew his stuff; he casually pulled out one Soul Guidance blueprint and discovered that the design was not simple at all.

The moment he saw the blueprint, he immediately realized the importance of these papers. Although his understanding of Soul Guidance Devices was not deep, he could barely make sense of the drawings.

Most of these blueprints were related to Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, and some items were merely conceptual designs. Simply put, some things could be designed according to the blueprints, while others were just a draft.

However, the design philosophy had already exceeded the scope of the Douluo Continent. Although these things could not be manufactured with current technology, if one were to research in this direction, there would definitely be new breakthroughs.

"Got it. Your dad doesn't look like a fool, does he? Also, before I get back, you stay here honestly and don't you dare go anywhere!" With that, Su Xinyuan swaggered out.

"Don't, Dad, I was wrong. Don't ground me. I have a match tomorrow, Dad, I was wrong..."

No matter how Su Yu pleaded, Su Xinyuan ignored him completely. When Su Yu was about to walk out of the mansion, a black-robed Soul Saint slowly emerged from the shadows. Looking at the Seven-ring Soul Saint with two yellow, two purple, and three black rings, Su Yu silently walked back.

"Young Master, the Master has given orders: until he returns, you must stay at home. So, my apologies, I have to wrong you today, Young Master." The black-robed Soul Saint looked at Su Yu with a hint of apology.

Looking at the familiar black-robed Soul Saint, Su Yu grabbed the other's sleeve and said with a wronged face, "Old Chen, you watched me grow up, after all. Just let me out, just this once. My dad won't blame you."

"No, the Master has spoken. There is nothing to be done, Young Master, you should just endure it. If it really doesn't work, I can have someone bring a message for you and have them come find you."

The black-robed Soul Saint was named Chen Su. In all of Su Yu's memories, this old man had always been there. He was like his father's shadow, guarding his father and himself at all times. Especially since returning to the Star Luo Imperial Capital, Su Yu could clearly feel his presence.

"I knew you were the best to me. Can you help me call these two people over?" As he spoke, Su Yu handed over two portraits and told them they were at the Star Emperor Hotel.

Although Su Yu could not leave the house, he was still quite free inside. Although he didn't know why his old man had to put him under house arrest, Su Yu knew his old man was definitely not an ordinary person; otherwise, how could his expression have changed instantly upon seeing those blueprints?

Su Xinyuan might not necessarily understand them, but that didn't mean he didn't know the value of these blueprints!

Could a person who supported the entire Su Family be ordinary? Furthermore, his old man had managed things for so many years without any trouble, which was enough to prove Su Xinyuan's methods and strategy.

However, that was not something Su Yu needed to worry about. Anyway, with the family as his backing, aside from his own strength, the Su Family was his greatest reliance.

Before long, Old Chen appeared before Su Yu with two people.

"Young Master, they have arrived." After saying this, Old Chen vanished into the shadows as if he had never appeared at all.

He Cai Tou and Wang Dong, who had been summoned, still hadn't quite reacted. If they hadn't heard Su Yu contact them via his Soul Guidance Communicator, they really wouldn't have believed this strangely dressed Soul Saint.

"Su Yu, why didn't you come find us yourself? The match is tomorrow, why?" Wang Dong was still concerned about Su Yu's injuries, but Su Yu's injuries had recovered as if nothing had happened right after the match ended; after all, the massive vitality bestowed upon him by the Life Gold was no joke.

"I think I should know why. Su Yu, were you grounded by your family?" He Cai Tou was no longer the simple and honest person he once was. Now he had started growing out his hair, and his temperament had undergone a earth-shaking change. Not to mention the serious state of Xu Sanshi; in terms of composure and maturity, even Dai Yaoheng couldn't compare to the current Xu He.

Su Yu spread his hands helplessly and said, "No choice, I'm really grounded this time. I can't get out until my old man returns. I just hope my old man comes back sooner."

"Then do you have anything important to tell us by calling us here?" Wang Dong sat down beside Su Yu, and a servant nearby began to serve tea.

Su Yu knew that with his old man's temperament, it was likely he wouldn't be able to appear in tomorrow's match, because Su Yu really had no confidence in being able to slip away from a Seven-ring Soul Saint, especially one who knew him like the back of his hand...

"Actually, I called you here today to help you analyze your opponents. The best-case scenario is that I can participate in the match tomorrow, but if I can't, I have to call you over in advance."

In the original story, tomorrow's battle formation was two-two-three. This meant that, apart from the variable of the final battle resting on Shangguan Can, there was nothing to worry about. A full-burst Bei Bei was enough to suppress Ye Wuqing; after all, aside from that cheater Huo Yuhao, the twin stars Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei were the most capable fighters.

Moreover, as the great-grandson of the Pavilion Master, if he couldn't even handle a Ye Wuqing, it would simply be a disgrace to Mu Lao.

"Su Yu, tell us your deployment. Although the Master's deployments are always based on stability, I'd like to hear your plans." He Cai Tou's thinking was very clear; in terms of understanding Su Yu, aside from Wang Dong, it was He Cai Tou.

"Brother Bei Bei's deployment actually has no problems, but I need to remind you that during the battle, you must pay attention to the Control System Soul Master on the other side. Once he enters the field, you must eliminate him as quickly as possible." Su Yu felt it was tricky just mentioning Shangguan Can; after all, the abilities of Control System Soul Masters were always a headache.

If he were there, could he use the Virtual Mirror to reflect it back and directly control Shangguan Can?

Theoretically, that was the case, but he didn't know how effective it would be. Last time, if it hadn't been for Shen Ce's strength being too high, exceeding the limit the Virtual Mirror could bear, he definitely could have reflected a portion back.

"Is there anything else? Your deployments are always comprehensive, aren't they? Why are you only giving us so little today? Is there nothing else you want to tell us?" Even Wang Dong was surprised. Logically, with Su Yu's cautious nature, it was impossible for him to arrange things so sloppily.

When Wang Dong mentioned if there was anything else to say, Su Yu remembered one thing. It seemed that because of this battle, that guy Xu Sanshi forcibly extended a marriage connection for Jiang Nannan and himself; this segment really felt like it lowered one's intelligence.

"Right, pass a message to Senior Sister Jiang Nannan for me: 'Rivers and mountains are easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to alter.' In all things, one must never choose to forget the essence of things because of temporary changes before one's eyes." After pondering for a long time, the only thing Su Yu felt he could use to give Jiang Nannan a heads-up was that rivers and mountains are easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to alter.

Wang Dong looked at Su Yu in confusion and said, "Why do you suddenly want us to pass a message to Senior Sister Jiang Nannan? Why do I feel like you're talking about Senior Xu Sanshi?"

"Alright, Wang Dong, Su Yu saying this naturally has his reasons. Right, Wang Dong, this can only be told to Senior Sister Jiang Nannan. If Senior Xu Sanshi finds out, I'm afraid it will be..." He Cai Tou was not someone simple-minded with well-developed limbs. In terms of thinking ability, he was no worse than anyone else; it was just that sometimes, when a person pretends to be stupid for too long, they might actually become stupid...

He Cai Tou's words enlightened Wang Dong. Wang Dong also knew that Jiang Nannan clearly didn't want to have any entanglements with Xu Sanshi, but Xu Sanshi remained relentless. Since Su Yu had passed the message this way, Wang Dong firmly believed Su Yu's decision was correct.

The facts were before them. Although Wang Dong was currently cross-dressing, putting himself in her shoes, he could understand Su Yu's intentions.

If it were someone he hated pestering him like this, Wang Dong feared he would only loathe that person even more.

"Right, remember my words. If I don't participate, if anything happens, you must tell me in time, understand?" As he spoke, Su Yu took out two Soul Guidance Communicators and handed them to the two.

Su Yu actually knew what would happen, but for the CP of He Cai Tou and Xiao Xiao, Su Yu was dying for them to get together. It had been so long without any progress; Su Yu felt anxious for He Cai Tou just watching.
