Chapter 60: Su Yong

After a long while, Qin Xinran slowly opened her mouth and said something shocking: "Chen'er, this Flying Sword is a Spirit Tool, and its owner is the Ghost Calculator."

Hiss!

Hearing this, Su Chen could not help but gasp.

He never expected that the mysterious person was actually the legendary Ghost Calculator!

In the original story, it was rumored that the Ghost Calculator was a disciple of Tianji Laoren, skilled in calculation and divination, and his cultivation technique was called the "Nine Styles of Changing Heaven," with each style containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

He had once relied on this technique to kill many enemies, and even many experts at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm had died at his hands.

He had a solitary personality, was not good at socializing, had no fixed residence, and was elusive.

Except for his master, Tianji Laoren, no one knew his true identity.

The only time he appeared in a battle in the original story was the life-and-death struggle between him and Ye Fan.

After Ye Fan stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm and bloodied the Su Family, the Ghost Calculator miraculously appeared before the world.

And he carried out an assassination attempt on Ye Fan.

Because Ye Fan was surrounded by the Ten Great Heroines at the time, the eleven of them joined forces to deal with the Ghost Calculator, and in the end, the Ghost Calculator was no match for them and was besieged to death.

Ye Fan even cut off his head and hung it on the city gate tower of the Donghua Continent as a warning to others.

No wonder this Flying Sword was so sharp, capable of slicing through the void with peerless power.

Su Chen took a deep breath to calm his excited heart.

Combining this with the plot of the original story, it could be seen that the Ghost Calculator had no hostility toward his Su Family, or rather, toward him personally.

On the contrary, he had even helped him this time.

He was very curious about who the Ghost Calculator really was.

Su Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and a crazy idea emerged in his mind—he intended to take the Ghost Calculator as his master and learn the "Nine Styles of Changing Heaven."

But he also knew that this matter was too crazy and must be treated with caution.

After all, the original story clearly stated that the Ghost Calculator had a strange personality and was not good at socializing.

Xiao Family, Xiao Tiancheng's study.

"Bang~"

Upon learning that Su Chen had actually rescued Xiao Ruoyu and Xia Qingxue back to the Su Family, Xiao Tiancheng crushed the teacup in his hand and gritted his teeth.

"Damn it, how does that piece of trash Su Chen have such heaven-defying luck? He has ruined my plans time and time again!"

His anger soared to the heavens, his heart filled with resentment, and he wished he could skin Su Chen alive.

It was only because Su Chen's repeated help to Xiao Ruoyu was already on the verge of completely severing his hope of becoming the Young Master of the Xiao Family.

The current situation was developing completely in a direction favorable to Xiao Ruoyu.

Everything was because Su Chen had interfered, causing all his efforts to vanish like bubbles.

This made Xiao Tiancheng hate Su Chen to the core.

"Brother Tiancheng, do not be angry. Su Chen is nothing but a piece of trash; he cannot stop you from seizing the position of Head of the Family at all!"

Su Yong, who was on the side, smiled and comforted him.

"That's right, Brother Tiancheng will surely secure the position of Young Master of the Xiao Family." Ye Fan also chimed in.

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng gradually calmed down, looked at the two, and asked: "Brother Su Yong, Brother Ye Fan, what should we do?"

"Why don't we, after Xiao Ruoyu returns, strike while the iron is hot and do this..."

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, a sinister arc hooked at the corner of his mouth, and his right hand made a throat-slitting gesture.

If he, Ye Fan, could not have the woman, then he would destroy her, so that Su Chen could not have her either.

"Brilliant, Brother Ye Fan truly has a high opinion."

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng's eyes lit up suddenly.

This strategy was indeed vicious, but at the same time, it was very simple.

Even if his father, Xiao Hanshan, found out afterward, it would be of no use; after all, once Xiao Ruoyu was dead, he, Xiao Tiancheng, would be the only heir to the position of Young Master of the Xiao Family.

After realizing this, a joy of a successful conspiracy appeared on Xiao Tiancheng's face.

"Hahaha, Su Chen, after I become the Young Master of the Xiao Family, I will definitely make you pay the price for your stupid choices."

Xiao Tiancheng looked up and laughed.

His voice carried a thick, baleful aura that made people shudder, as if a wild beast were brewing some terrible conspiracy.

Just then, one of Su Yong's subordinates walked in in a panic and whispered a few words in his ear.

Swish!

In an instant, Su Yong's expression changed drastically. He stood up hurriedly and looked at Xiao Tiancheng: "Brother Tiancheng, there is something at home, I must return first."

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Brother Su Yong, has something happened?"

Su Yong hesitated for a moment, then pondered: "It is that there is some problem with the marriage contract between me and Jiang Ruoyun of the Jiang Family."

"What?"

Xiao Tiancheng's face darkened, and he shouted coldly: "Brother Su Yong, tell me who did it? I will go and deal with them for you!"

"It is the Head of the Jiang Family, Jiang Huai." Su Yong sighed and said.

Boom!

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.

Immediately, he said with a face full of shock: "Isn't Jiang Huai your father's close friend? Why would he suddenly break off the engagement?"

Su Yong said bitterly: "I don't know either. I need to go back and investigate this matter."

After a pause, he suggested: "Brother Tiancheng, Brother Ye Fan, let's stop here for today, we shall meet another day."

"En, I will see you off."

Xiao Tiancheng came back to his senses, nodded in agreement, and saw him off.

"Brother Tiancheng, do you think what Brother Su Yong just said is true or false?"

Watching Su Yong's receding figure, Ye Fan frowned and said to Xiao Tiancheng.

"It should be true; after all, he has no reason to lie to us."

Xiao Tiancheng's eyes flickered with light, and after pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's just unexpected that the Head of the Jiang Family would dare to call off the marriage. Are they not afraid of the Su Family's retaliation?"

"There must be some hidden story."

Ye Fan stroked his chin, "Although the Jiang Family is considered a first-rate family in the Donghua Continent, compared to the Su Family, the number one noble family, the gap is still quite large."

"Mm, you are right."

Xiao Tiancheng nodded in agreement, "Brother Su Yong's father, Su Jian, was a close friend of the Jiang Family Head, Jiang Huai, for many years; they would definitely not turn against each other easily."

On the other side, after Su Yong hurriedly left the Xiao Family, he rushed toward the Jiang Family at once.

But he could not even enter the main gate of the Jiang Family.

"Our Head of the Family said that he does not want to have any contact with you; do not appear in front of our Jiang Family gate ever again."

The Jiang Family guards turned Su Yong away.

This result was something Su Yong had never expected; his fists were tightly clenched, and his face was livid.

He felt incredibly aggrieved inside.

He had originally planned to marry his childhood sweetheart, Jiang Ruoyun, and then secretly use the influence of the Jiang Family and the Xiao Family to seize back his position as the Head of the Su Family.

But who would have thought that before his plan could even be implemented, the Jiang Family would actually go back on their word.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him, making it hard for him to endure.

"No, I must come up with a way as soon as possible, otherwise my dream will be shattered."

Su Yong's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said.

He suddenly thought of that little girl who used to follow behind him, calling him "Brother Su Yong."

So he shouted toward the inside of the Jiang Family, "Sister Ruoyun!"

However, he shouted for a quarter of an hour without receiving any response.

The guards looked at Su Yong with the gaze of someone looking at a fool and mocked, "Hey, it's useless to shout; our young lady will never come out to see you."

"Ah! Why!"

Su Yong roared like a madman; he truly could not accept this reality.
