Su Ming did not immediately return to Han Mountain City. Instead, he changed his direction and went to the four cave abodes He Feng had told him. Once he found the locations and saw the stone coins He Feng had hidden in the cave abodes, he could not help but be surprised.
There were a lot of stone coins in He Feng's four cave abodes. It far surpassed what he had stored in his storage bag in the past. Once he saw the stone coins, Su Ming did not hold back. He waved his arm and put them all into his storage bag before he turned around and left.
He Feng waited for a while. When he saw that Su Ming was still charging towards Han Mountain without any intention of asking anything, he was momentarily stunned. This was slightly different from what he had imagined.
He waited for a while longer before He Feng could not help but speak.
"Master, hehe, these stone coins are good, right?"
"Not bad," Su Ming said calmly.
"It's my greatest honor to be able to work for you and make you satisfied. As long as you think they're good, then it's fine. If you lack money in the future, don't worry. With my abilities, I'll definitely earn a lot of stone coins for you." He Feng carefully changed the topic to his own plans.
"Alright!" Su Ming's answer was straightforward. Once he finished saying that word, he no longer spoke. As he charged forward, he got closer to Han Mountain City.
He Feng was feeling rather gloomy. He hesitated for a moment before he quickly spoke again.
"Master, this lowly one only used a few years to get these stone coins. This lowly one is not bragging, this lowly one is very good at buying and selling items. Actually, this lowly one is very good at trading items. Actually, this lowly one is very good at it …"
"Oh?" A barely discernible smile appeared on Su Ming's lips. He could tell a long time ago that He Feng had something to say, or else he would not have given him such a huge gift.
When he heard Su Ming's reply, He Feng's spirits lifted. He immediately used the chance to tell Su Ming about his own skills.
"I'm not bragging. It's true, Master. I have an innate talent when it comes to buying and selling items. Bargaining is actually a small-scale clash of minds. This sort of thing is easy for me.
'That's how I got these stone coins. I have a status in Han Mountain City, and it's not any weaker than Master Mo Su's. I'm quite famous.
Master, it's not that I'm bragging, but if you let me manage your finances, I'll definitely help you earn several times more. If there's anything you like, just tell me and let me talk about it. I'm not bragging … "
The more He Feng spoke, the more excited he became. In fact, he even mentioned his glorious achievements in the past few years. However, whenever he mentioned these things, there was always one sentence that kept repeating in his words.
"I'm not bragging … Master …"
"… It really wasn't me … I was just bragging to you …"
As he listened to He Feng's words, the smile remained on Su Ming's face. He suddenly felt that the current He Feng was perhaps his true self.
He Feng continued boasting along the way. When the sky gradually darkened, Han Mountain appeared before Su Ming's eyes.
As he looked at Han Mountain, the smile on Su Ming's face gradually faded away. He brought out the black mask from his bosom and put it on his face, turning into Mo Su. He did not immediately go to Han Mountain City, but instead walked towards Tranquil East Mountain.
Tranquil East Mountain stood tall in the dusk. It was the same as usual, with a majestic presence. However, the mountain was now very different in Su Ming's eyes.
When he first came to the mountain, he had been slightly nervous. The second time he came, he was no longer nervous, but he still could not easily enter the mountain. Yet this was the third time he stood at the foot of Tranquil East Mountain. His body might be as small as an ant compared to the mountain, but in his heart, he could step on this mountain.
He did not call out to it. Su Ming stood at the foot of the mountain and walked up the stairs. The moment his foot landed, the mountain suddenly trembled, and a wave of pressure enveloped him.
That pressure was not sentient. It was clear that it was formed by Tranquil East's Mountain Protection Art. When the mountain was closed, it was used to prevent outsiders from entering.
Su Ming's expression was calm. The pressure came crashing down, but when it was 100 feet away from him, it seemed to have run into an invisible barrier. It stopped abruptly and turned into a booming sound that echoed in the air, but it could not move any further.
With the mask on his face, Su Ming walked up the mountain. When he took 10 steps, whistling sounds traveled into the air. There were dozens of people charging towards him from the mountain. All of them had respectful expressions on their faces. They stopped when they were still a distance away from Su Ming and bowed deeply towards him.
"Welcome, Sir Mo …"
Su Ming nodded his head slightly and continued walking forward. He was not fast, but with each step he took, he would take a dozen something steps towards the top of the mountain.
At that moment, another dozen something people charged towards him. The person in the lead was the tribe leader of Tranquil East, Fang Shen. The people following behind him were all powerful Berserkers of Tranquil East. Once they appeared, their expressions were complicated and respectful as they bowed deeply towards Su Ming.
"Welcome, Sir Mo."
Fang Shen took a few brisk steps forward. When he was 100 something feet away from Su Ming, an excited look appeared on his face as he wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed.
"I, Fang Shen, tribe leader of Tranquil East, greet you, sir."
Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. He looked at Fang Shen and spoke calmly.
"Tribe leader, you don't have to do this. I'm here once again to fulfill my promise. Bring me to Fang Mu."
"Thank you for fulfilling my wish, sir!" Fang Shen bowed towards Su Ming once again. When he stood up, he looked at Su Ming with a gaze that was difficult to hide the shock and respect in his eyes. He looked at Mo Su before him, and the scenes of him meeting Mo Su in the past surfaced in his head.
"Sir, please. My son's matter is not a problem. Please enter Tranquil East Tower and receive our respect … The Elder is making preparations right now. He will personally receive you later."
"There's no need for such trouble." As Su Ming spoke, he spread out his Branding Art. Once he reached the Transcendence Realm, his Branding Art had also improved. As he spread it out, it covered most of the mountain and he immediately found Fang Mu.
Su Ming took a step forward and rose into the air, turning into a long arc that charged towards Fang Mu's house at the mountainside. Fang Shen quickly gave some instructions to the people beside him before he stood up and followed behind Su Ming.
There was a normal stone house at the mountainside of Tranquil East Mountain. Han Cang Zi was sitting cross-legged outside with a frown on her face. There was a melancholic look on her face. Her current appearance, coupled with her blue dress, gave her a different kind of beauty.
A whistling sound traveled into the air. Han Cang Zi seemed to have been startled awake. She lifted her head, and when she saw the masked Su Ming in the long arc in the sky, her eyes brightened.
The long arc descended, and once it disappeared, it turned into Su Ming. He looked at Han Cang Zi and nodded his head.
"Greetings, brother Mo." Han Cang Zi stood up and spoke softly. There was a hint of joy in her voice.
"How's Fang Mu?" Su Ming cast a glance at Han Cang Zi before his gaze fell on the house behind her.
Han Cang Zi hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "Not too well …"
"Si Ma Xin activated the Berserker Seed in Mu Er's body beforehand. Once he left, Mu Er fell into a coma … From my understanding of Si Ma Xin's Arts, Mu Er's life force has been blocked …" Han Cang Zi spoke softly, and grief appeared on her face.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he spoke slowly. "I'm responsible for this."
"Sir, don't blame yourself. This will happen sooner or later." Fang Shen's voice came from behind Su Ming. Fang Shen walked towards him with a dark expression.
"In truth, I knew a long time ago that Mu Er's body wasn't injured, but Si Ma … Xin planted the Berserker Seed in him … When I met you in the past, I didn't have much hope. I just wanted others to think that I didn't know.
"Please forgive me for this." Fang Shen let out a long sigh and bowed towards Su Ming once again.
Su Ming did not look at Fang Shen. He walked towards the house behind Han Cang Zi and pushed open the door. The moment the door was pushed open, a gust of cold air came crashing into his face. That cold air spread out to an area of hundreds of feet, and wherever it went, a thin layer of ice would appear on the ground.
The moment the door was opened, everything within was revealed clearly. The room was not big, but at that moment, it was filled with cold air. There was also a layer of ice around it, and there was a teenager lying on the stone bed in the room.
The teenager did not move. His face was purplish black, and there was a large amount of frost covering his entire body, making him look like a frozen corpse.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he walked into the house. The moment he did so, arcs of blue lightning immediately swam through his entire body and spread out from his feet to the ground. They swam through the layers of ice around him, and cracking sounds reverberated in the air. Immediately, the layers of ice started showing signs of cracking.
It was especially so under Su Ming's feet. As he walked past them, the layer of ice behind him completely shattered, revealing the ground.
When Su Ming stood beside Fang Mu, a large amount of lightning swam through his body. It looked as if Su Ming was surrounded by lightning. As he looked at the unconscious and dying Fang Mu, Su Ming lifted his right hand abruptly. Lightning gathered on his right hand, eventually turning it into a large amount of lightning. Just as he was about to touch the center of Fang Mu's brows …
"Sir, please wait …" an old voice said. A long arc charged towards them from outside the house. Once it landed on the ground, it turned into an old man. That old man was the Elder of Tranquil East.
He took a few brisk steps forward and walked past Fang Shen, who had a conflicted look on his face. Just as he was about to step into Fang Mu's house, Su Ming turned his head around and cast a cold glance at the old man.
Under Su Ming's gaze, the Elder of Tranquil East Tribe's heart shuddered. A wave of danger and pressure rose within him, causing his heart to immediately race. His lifted foot came to an abrupt halt and he stood outside the house. He did not dare take another step forward, but instead bowed deeply towards Su Ming.
"Greetings, Sir, I am the Elder of Tranquil East."
"Sir, on account of the fact that Tranquil East Tribe has never offended you … please spare Tranquil East Tribe … I will be eternally grateful." A bitter look appeared on the Elder of Tranquil East's face. He did not get up from his bow.
"Why would you say that?" Su Ming asked unhurriedly.
"Sir, if you save this child, then Tranquil East Tribe will definitely offend Sir Si Ma. Once Sir Si Ma is angry, our tribe will not be able to withstand it … Fang Mu has done nothing wrong. His mistake is that he should not have been born in Tranquil East …" the old man said in a low voice.
"Fang Mu is your child. You choose." Su Ming remained silent for a moment. He looked at Fang Mu, but his words were clearly directed at Fang Shen.
Fang Shen trembled. The struggle on his face became stronger. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
