Chapter 62: Killing Intent



But all his hatred, all the loss of face, was attributed to Su Jingzhen.

Chen Chong didn’t expect his nephew’s first words to be like this.

He let out a sigh, knowing that Chen Jinshi’s heart was already affected.

If Su Jingzhen didn’t die, Chen Jinshi’s chances of reaching Foundation Establishment might be affected.

Thinking of this, Chen Chong’s killing intent also intensified.

Chen Jinshi had always been the greatest hope of the Chen family.

As long as it involved Chen Jinshi, Chen Chong would unconditionally take a step back.

Now that Chen Jinshi’s killing intent was so strong, Su Jingzhen really had to die.

His face was extremely gloomy.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Today’s events will soon spread throughout Linjiang City.”

“Our Chen family is already destined to become the laughingstock of the city, and with Zhang Hong and Li Long, those two executives, present, if we kill Su Jingzhen tonight, the impact will be even more severe.”

“It doesn’t seem like a good thing for our Chen family.”

Although his killing intent was strong, he still had reservations.

“Uncle, Linjiang City is a complex place, even more so than you imagine.”

“There have been cases of demonic cultivators killing people in the streets, and many deaths have occurred.”

“Huayang Sect is already unable to control the situation.”

“As long as we keep our hands clean, even if everyone suspects us, what can they do to us?”

Originally, after returning from the middle courtyard, Chen Jinshi had planned to ignore Su Jingzhen and wait for an opportunity to kill him later.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became; the more he retreated, the more he wanted to kill.

The killing intent in his heart was difficult to suppress.

He said again, “Tomorrow is the day I’ll be promoted to an inner sect disciple, and it’s also the day the school children will awaken their spirits.”

“To avoid any hidden dangers, I don’t want to see this person again tomorrow.”

“I know Uncle is capable of handling this matter.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong’s eyebrows furrowed again.

But he still nodded.

“Alright!”

In Chen Chong’s eyes, Chen Jinshi’s cultivation and future were above everything!

He would do his best to eliminate anyone or anything that affected Chen Jinshi.

And in his view, as long as Chen Chong could become an inner sect disciple, Foundation Establishment was just around the corner.

And at that time, even if people knew that Su Jingzhen was killed by the Chen family, what would it matter?

……

“Girl, is the meal delicious?”

On the way back, Su Jingzhen smiled at Ning Yao.

The latter nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

They had almost finished the wine and dishes on the table, with Su Jingzhen and Ning Yao eating most of it.

Although sister-in-law Zhang Xiu often handled affairs for Huayang Sect and had accumulated more spirit stones than other residents of Peach Blossom Alley, she didn’t usually splurge.

Even though Ning Yao didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, this kind of banquet was still something she hadn’t experienced before.

During their conversation, Su Jingzhen didn’t intentionally bring up the topic of tomorrow’s spirit awakening.

As someone who had experienced high-pressure exams in his past life, he knew that excessive emphasis and encouragement from others during such times would only add more psychological pressure to the child.

These things would naturally take their course.

Just then, before they reached the main street, Luo Yuebai, who had been walking with them, suddenly caught up.

“Daoist Su, you’re wrong about this.”

“We agreed to travel together, which means we should go together, no matter what.”

Seeing Luo Yuebai, Su Jingzhen’s face revealed a bitter smile.

Shuang Jiang had told him to avoid this guy, but now it seemed like he was stuck to him like a piece of dog skin plaster.

At this time, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “I thought you wanted to go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”

“Some things need to be done while the iron is hot; if we wait too long, even Feng Qingya might not recognize you.”

Su Jingzhen’s words had a hint of teasing.

In fact, he hadn’t expected that Luo Yuebai’s intention was to get to know Feng Qingya from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

And judging from his previous behavior, it seemed like he had already known that Feng Qingya would be there.

He had already set his target.

If it weren’t for Shuang Jiang’s warning that this guy wasn’t simple, Su Jingzhen’s surprise would have been even greater.

Upon hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, Luo Yuebai’s face revealed a hint of embarrassment.

He also smiled and nodded: “Daoist Su’s words are indeed correct. However, when I was at Cuiliu School, I was able to chat with the Pavilion Master, but it was only because the Pavilion Master was reluctant to make a scene in public and didn’t want to offend me.”

“Using the thick-skinned technique once is enough; if I were to recklessly go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, I’d probably be kicked out directly.”

Before he finished speaking, he teased: “It seems that Daoist Su’s previous demeanor was more likely to win the Pavilion Master’s favor.”

“Didn’t the Pavilion Master not invite Daoist Su to sit with her at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion?”

As he said this, Luo Yuebai’s eyes had a hint of curiosity.

Su Jingzhen’s heart, however, was suddenly startled.

He immediately realized that Luo Yuebai’s words were a test for him.

What abilities did he possess? He only knew how to refine pills.

Had this guy discovered something?

His face immediately revealed a hint of doubt.

“Ah? I, Su, am only good at teaching and have no other talents. I don’t even compare to Daoist Luo in terms of appearance.”

“I really don’t know what could make the Pavilion Master favor me.”

As he said this, Su Jingzhen’s face only revealed a bitter smile, with no other emotions.

There were no cracks in his facade.

Luo Yuebai’s eyes had a hint of surprise.

But he soon nodded and didn’t continue to press the issue.

He smiled and said: “Today, Daoist Su has thoroughly offended the Chen family. In the future, it might not be easy for you in Linjiang City.”

“There might even be hidden dangers lurking in the shadows.”

“I wonder how Daoist Su will respond to this?”

This was again Luo Yuebai’s test for Su Jingzhen.

The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: “This is an unavoidable situation; let’s take it one step at a time.”

This response had a hint of helplessness.

Luo Yuebai’s handsome face also revealed a slight surprise.

He soon smiled and nodded, not continuing to probe further.

But in his heart, he was still convinced that Su Jingzhen was not simple!

If he really had no abilities, he wouldn’t be so calm.

As they chatted, the four of them quickly returned to Peach Blossom Alley.

As they parted ways, Luo Yuebai seriously warned Su Jingzhen: “No matter what, please be careful these days.”

“Huayang Sect can’t cover everything.”

“Especially on the day of the spirit awakening tomorrow, it might not be too peaceful.”

After speaking, he headed towards his own residence.

Su Jingzhen was taken aback, then smiled again.

“This Daoist Luo is really interesting.”
