In the back hall of the Star Pavilion …
Elder Qingyun and Murong Qingcheng were restless. Normally, they were not qualified to be guests in the Star Pavilion.
However, after clarifying Xue Yu's identity as his fiancée, the attitude of the maids changed drastically. They were extremely passionate, a far cry from their previous coldness.
"Miss Murong is truly blessed to be able to marry Grandmaster Xue. This is a wonderful thing that many women can only dream of," said a pretty maid enviously as she poured tea for Murong Qingcheng.
The maid who was massaging Murong Qingcheng's shoulders said with jealousy, "Miss Murong is so beautiful, ranked number one in the Sword Pavilion Ocean. Master Xue is so knowledgeable and talented. You two are really a match made in heaven! I have to believe that there is a will of heaven in this world. "
The flattery fell into Murong Qingcheng's ears, but every word felt like needles stabbing her.
If the marriage contract had not been torn apart, Murong Qingcheng would have been happy to hear such flattery to satisfy her vanity.
But now, the more flattery, the deeper the sarcasm.
Tick!
The sound of light footsteps came from the back hall.
Su Yu walked in front of the two and said, "Miss Murong, Elder Qingyun, how have you been? What are you two …"
Sizing them up, Su Yu was shocked to find that their clothes were dim and their bodies were covered in dust.
Murong Qingcheng, who used to be glamorous, looked a lot more haggard. Her former arrogance and confidence were nowhere to be seen.
"Master Xue!" Both Elder Qingyun and Murong Qingcheng stood up to pay their respects.
Compared to the last time on Murong Island, it was a huge change.
"You don't have to be so courteous. You must have something important to tell me," Su Yu said.
Murong Qingcheng suddenly realized that Su Yu's modesty, politeness, and gentleness were really rare.
Why didn't she feel this way before?
Regret flooded her heart. She bit her lips and bitterly bowed, "Young Master Xue, it was all Qingcheng's fault in the past. Young Master Xue, please let bygones be bygones and forgive me."
Su Yu did not have a good impression of her, but he had seen too many realistic women. There were many more realistic women than Murong Qingcheng, so he did not dislike her too much.
"Miss Murong, what are you doing? You are my fiancée, so there is no need for you to be so formal. If there is anything you need my help with, just let me know, "Su Yu said.
As long as he stayed in the Xue family, he would admit Xue Yu's identity and his engagement.
Murong Qingcheng and Master Blue Cloud exchanged a glance, both startled. Could it be that Xue Yuntian still hadn't told him about the broken engagement?
A glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes, but it was extinguished soon after.
Xue Yu would find out sooner or later, so it was better to be honest.
Murong Qingcheng said shamefully, "Young Master Xue, this concubine is muddle-headed. I … I've already broken off the engagement."
These words were beyond Su Yu's expectations. Destroy the engagement?
Thinking about it, Su Yu guessed most of it. It was probably because the Xue family had been on the Murong Island for a few days and had declined, so Murong Qingcheng had suggested to cancel the engagement.
As he looked at her, Su Yu's state of mind did not fluctuate much.
Whether the engagement was annulled or not, it did not affect him. In any case, he had never intended to fulfill this engagement.
On the contrary, Murong Qingcheng and Master Blue Cloud's faces were ashen and extremely terrified. They were very afraid that Su Yu would punish them out of anger. If that happened, it would be even more impossible to repair the relationship between the two families.
However, unexpectedly, Su Yu's face was calm. He said, "Oh? I see. "
The calmer he was, the more terrified the two were. Murong Qingcheng knelt down with a thud and sobbed, "Young Master Xue, it was because I was greedy and vain that I broke off the engagement. It had nothing to do with grandpa. If you want to blame someone, blame me! I'm willing to do whatever you want with me, even if I have to be your slave. I only ask that you let grandpa return to the Murong family and give him a place to settle down! "
Master Blue Cloud felt pity for his granddaughter. He knelt down and said, "Young Master Xue, it was all my fault. It had nothing to do with Qingcheng. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
Seeing that the two were sincerely repentant, Su Yu paused for a moment. He waved his palm and a mass of Mortal Fairy's Strength appeared, helping them up.
"Tell me the cause and effect first," Su Yu said.
Hearing that there was hope, Master Blue Cloud immediately narrated the scene with great emotion. When he was done, he stood aside in shame.
It turned out that he hoped that the Xue family and the Murong family could reconcile.
Su Yu pondered. The forces in the Jianxuan Ocean were complicated. One more ally was better than one more powerful enemy. Besides, he would not stay in the Xue family forever. It was necessary to repair the relationship between the two families.
"I can forgive you for breaking off the engagement in public …" He stared at Murong Qingcheng and turned to look at Master Blue Cloud. "However, the harm that the Murong family has done to the Xue family needs to be made up for with your actions. You should be begging the Xue family, not me."
Dong!
Master Blue Cloud knelt down and kowtowed, sincerely grateful. "Thank you, Young Master Xue, for your magnanimity!"
Now that the Xue family had obtained Xue Yu's forgiveness, they were halfway to success.
If Xue Yu did not forgive them, even if the rest of the Xue family forgave them, it would be useless.
Su Yu said, "I'm going back to the Twin Star Island. You can come with me."
With his help, Xue Yuntian would seriously consider restoring the relationship between the two families.
Master Blue Cloud understood Su Yu's intention. He was grateful and ashamed. "I've lived for so long in vain, but I failed to recognize people. I'm willing to work like a slave to repay the disrespect I've shown Young Master Xue."
Su Yu said, "You're too kind. Get ready."
After bidding farewell to the Master of the Starry Pavilion, Su Yu stepped onto the Starry Pavilion's top-grade flying ship. The Cloudy Sky Ship was the best flying ship in the Jianxuan Ocean. It could travel hundreds of millions of miles in a breath, almost as fast as the Yin Yang Wings of Supreme Pole.
Two days later, they sailed into a barren area of the ocean. There were only small islands nearby.
Small, insignificant forces were thriving on it.
"What a strong smell of blood!" Master Blue Cloud suddenly frowned.
His strength was as high as a Level Two Cavern World Master, and his five senses surpassed Su Yu's.
Su Yu opened his eyes and activated his vision. He could vaguely see traces of blood light where the sky and the sea met.
"Hide first." Su Yu stepped on a switch somewhere on the flying ship. The Cloudy Sky Ship automatically produced a faint layer of light, blending into the surrounding environment.
It was impossible to identify it when it was stationary.
Su Yu stared into the distance. The blood light was getting closer and closer.
When it got closer, Su Yu's face changed.
It was a corpse that had been gnawed into a pulp!
The parts of the corpse that contained essence, energy, and spirit had been eaten, just like the rotten corpse in the Starry Pavilion that was determined to be the work of the Nine Divine Bodies.
However, the number of corpses in front of him was horrifying!
About tens of thousands of corpses had drifted here from the islands in front of them along with the current.
These were the ones that had fallen into the sea. As for the ones on the islands, there were countless who had been killed by the Nine Divine Bodies!
Master Blue Cloud frowned deeply. "What kind of ferocious spirit is this?"
"Don't speak!" Su Yu said with a stern look.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a fierce gust of wind blew near the Cloudy Sky Ship!
Surrounded by the shadows of nine huge ferocious beasts, a skinny human creature with a mouth full of blood appeared three thousand feet away from the Cloudy Sky Ship in an instant.
He looked around with cold eyes and snorted coldly. "Ran away? I clearly sensed that a good food was nearby. "
Among the nine shadows of the beasts, one had a pair of wings. As soon as it spread its huge wings, it instantly flew thousands of miles away and landed on the island in the distance.
The remaining ferocious and peerless aura made Murong Qingcheng's beautiful face turn pale, and her cherry lips opened wide.
If Su Yu hadn't covered her mouth, she would have screamed out loud!
Even Master Blue Cloud was not much better. His whole body trembled involuntarily, and his face turned pale. He said, "What is that?"
Silence was the only answer.
Master Blue Cloud looked up and saw Su Yu's face full of surprise and murderous intent.
The nine shadows of the beasts were indeed the Nine Divine Bodies that Mu Canghai had mentioned.
However, Su Yu had never expected that he would know the Nine Divine Bodies!
Gu Taixu!
He was not dead!
Back then, his cultivation was destroyed by Zhan Wushuang and he was involved in the war of the demons. Not only did he not die, but he also achieved the Nine Divine Bodies!
According to Mu Canghai, the Nine Divine Bodies could rival the most ferocious spirit in the world, the existence of the Tao Tie!
"Let's go!" Su Yu's face was calm. Gu Taixu's appearance had confirmed his guess.
Apart from him, there were other creatures that had escaped from the Tao Tie's cage.
"Gu Taixu, you are not fated to die yet. Do you need me to kill you again?" Su Yu said coldly.
His appearance made Su Yu feel even more urgent.
If he had been at his peak, he would have been able to kill Gu Taixu.
But now, unless he became a deity and unsealed the Time, Space, Soul, Life, and Death Rules, as well as the storage devices, he would not be a match for Gu Taixu!
"I have to go to the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons!" Su Yu said to himself.
Double Star Island.
After half a year of emptiness, the Xue family's mansion had become a residence for refugees.
During this period, it had been destroyed and was in a state of desolation.
Fortunately, Li Qiankun had ordered the whole family to help the Xue family repair the mansion in advance. When Xue Yuntian and the others returned, the Xue family's mansion had almost been restored, and the lost property had been compensated.
When Su Yu returned, the mansion had not only been completely restored, but it had also been expanded on its original foundation.
It was said that a lot of the Li family's territory had been occupied.
His return naturally caused a sensation on the whole island.
A peerless prodigy had appeared on Twin Star Island. Not only was he extremely talented in martial arts, but he was also talented in heretic arts. He had caught the eye of a behemoth like the Star Pavilion and was taken in as an appraiser of the Star Pavilion!
Such a person had never been born in the history of the Double Star Island.
One could imagine how popular Xue Yu was now.
Xue Yuntian even led the whole family to the port to welcome him personally.
The two of them looked at each other from afar. Xue Yuntian no longer had any ill feelings. He said, "Welcome back!"
Su Yu nodded and returned to the Xue family's mansion under the gazes of countless living creatures.
In the sky above the Li family's mansion, many members of the Li family were watching the grand welcoming scene.
Li Qiankun had a complicated expression, his expression full of worry.
In the few months since his return, the Li family had been pressured into sacrificing a large number of treasures to help the Xue family repair their mansion and ceded many territories.
But Li Qiankun knew that this was just the beginning!
With Xue Yu's current status and identity, the Double Star Island was no longer the same as before, where two forces fought for supremacy.
The Xue family's rise was unstoppable, and the Li family was obviously a stumbling block.
It was foreseeable that in the near future, the Li family would either submit to the Xue family or be expelled from the Double Star Island by the Xue family. There was no other choice.
Li Qiankun stared at Xue Yu's back for a long time before clenching his fists. "Xue Yu, don't blame me. Your existence is a form of destruction to the Li family."
In the past few months, he had been deep in thought.
The Xue family's rise was all thanks to Xue Yu.
If Xue Yu died, could the Xue family continue to rise?
If the Li family wanted to survive, Xue Yu had to die!
