Inside the Xue Manor.
Six Elders and a handful of core family members were gathered together.
Xue Yuntian glanced at Elder Qingyun and Murong Qingcheng, frowning. "Yu-er, why did they come back with you?"
Without waiting for Su Yu to speak, Murong Qingcheng knelt down and begged pitifully, "Uncle Xue, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me for being young and ignorant."
Xue Yuntian said coldly, "Now that things have come to this, you still want to renew your engagement with Yu-er? I'm sorry, but I cannot agree. "
"No, uncle, you misunderstood. I came here today only to ask for uncle's forgiveness. I am too ashamed to ask for Brother Xue Yu's help." Even though Murong Qingcheng was mentally prepared, she still felt dejected after hearing such an answer.
Xue Yuntian said, "Then you should be begging Yu, not me!"
He looked at Su Yu, implying that he was looking at Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled lightly. "Who doesn't make mistakes? I have accepted Miss Murong's apology. Get up. "
Since he was understanding, Xue Yuntian had no reason to continue blaming her. "Yu-er is kind-hearted. Miss Murong, please take care of yourself."
He then looked at Elder Qingyun. "Why are you kneeling in front of the Xue Manor? The Xue Manor cannot afford to have such a big shot like you kneel! "
In those three days, the one who made the Xue Family look the worst was Elder Qingyun!
He secretly urged the Murong Clan's supreme elder to make things difficult for the Xue Family. During the last negotiation, it could be said that he lost all of his face and was too ashamed to face anyone.
Now that he had personally come to apologize, how could Xue Yuntian swallow this insult?
Elder Qingyun was already mentally prepared. He kowtowed again. "I know I have hurt the Xue Family, but I am not here today to ask for forgiveness."
"Then what are you here for?" Xue Yuntian said coldly, wanting nothing more than to chase him away.
Elder Qingyun took a deep breath and made a decision. "I am willing to be a slave of the Xue Family for a hundred years!"
Eh? Su Yu was surprised. He had not expected Elder Qingyun to be so bold.
The clansmen were also surprised. A dignified Second Heaven Cavern World Venerable, whose strength was comparable to the Lonely Mountain Venerable Elder, was willing to be his slave for a hundred years?
Murong Qingcheng's jade-like body trembled, and her eyes became watery. She wanted to stop him, but her rationality told her that this might be the only way for her grandfather to earn the Xue family's forgiveness.
Xue Yuntian, whose face was filled with rage, revealed shock in his eyes. Being a slave for a hundred years was easier said than done.
Without thinking about it, it was impossible to make such a decision.
The resentment in his heart weakened by more than half, but he still couldn't back down. He said, "Elder Qingyun, you can go back. I've already said that the Xue and Murong families are no longer related. Since I've already said it, there's no reason to change it."
Back then, he had already said it, so how could he take it back?
Su Yu tried to smooth things over, staring at Elder Qingyun with displeasure. "You heard everything? Sending a clan elder like you isn't enough to make our two clans reconcile. No matter what, you should at least invite your Murong Clan Leader to come in person to show your sincerity, right? "
How could Elder Qingyun not understand that Su Yu was giving Xue Yuntian a way out of this embarrassing situation?
In his heart, he was wild with joy, and even more grateful to Su Yu. He said, "Xue family leader, it was my lack of consideration. I'll send a message to the family right now and ask the family leader to come in person with the important members of the family."
Without giving Xue Yuntian a chance to stop him, he shattered the communication jade.
"Stop …" Xue Yuntian pretended to stop him, but it was too late. He said angrily, "Elder Qingyun, how do you expect me to explain this to the Xue family? And Yu 'er, how could you come up with such an idea? "
It seemed like he was reprimanding them, but everyone could hear that he didn't mean it.
When the people of the family learned that the Murong Clan Leader had personally come to repair their relationship, they felt honored. Their previous resentment lessened greatly, and they didn't object too much.
In any case, the Xue family would soar in the future, and the Murong family could bask in their glory if they wanted to.
With this thought in mind, the restoration of their relationship was just around the corner.
After the family meeting ended, Elder Qingyun and Murong Qingcheng settled down in the family.
Xue Yuntian asked Su Yu to stay behind, and said, "You've really put me in a difficult position."
Su Yu voiced his thoughts. Xue Yuntian was silent for a moment, then sighed. "Sigh, how could I not know? The Xue family has suffered great losses, and it's time for us to have allies. Otherwise, I won't forgive Elder Qingyun even if he becomes a slave for a thousand years. "
Su Yu smiled. The relationship between the two families had been restored, and with the support of the Starry Pavilion in the future, even if Su Yu left the Xue family, as long as he was still alive, he would be safe.
"Murong Qingcheng, what do you plan to do? It seems like she doesn't plan to leave the Xue family for the time being. It's not a good thing for her to stay here for a long time, "Xue Yuntian asked Su Yu.
As Su Yu's ex-fiancée, if she stayed in the Xue family and didn't leave, rumors would spread sooner or later.
Su Yu said, "It doesn't matter. Let her be."
After a pause, Su Yu asked, "What's going on with the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons?"
Xue Yuntian wasn't surprised, and said, "You want to join this expedition? That's fine, you're the most suitable person for it. "
He took out two objects. One was an invitation letter with the words "Ten Thousand Dragons" written on it.
The other was the Sinan he had brought back from the Murong family.
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons is the largest ancient relic in the Jianxuan Territorial Waters," Xue Yuntian said. "Its source can no longer be traced. Since its discovery, it has been under the control of the Jianxuan Territorial Waters. It opens once every five years, and every island has ten slots."
The invitation letter was issued by the Jianxuan Territorial Waters.
Su Yu said, "Is the Jianxuan Territorial Waters so kind as to allow the island influences to enter instead of searching for it themselves?"
Xue Yuntian shook his head and laughed coldly. "How could they be so kind? The Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons is too vast, and even if the Jianxuan Territorial Waters were given a hundred million years, it would still be impossible for the Jianxuan Territorial Waters to stay here for a hundred million years. "
"Therefore, the Jianxuan Territorial Waters issues ten invitations to the major influences every year, allowing them to enter and search for natural resources. Eighty percent of the resources found must be handed over to the Jianxuan Territorial Waters, and the remaining twenty percent is distributed among the island influences."
Su Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Eighty percent? The Jianxuan Territorial Waters really doesn't care about the island influences. "
Xue Yuntian sighed. "So what? If the island influences had the power to resist the Jianxuan Territorial Waters, we wouldn't be forced to hand over the Starlight Grass every year. "
"When you enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons this time, if you can, please take care of the people who are going with you," Xue Yuntian said.
Su Yu said, "Me? Aren't you going? "
"I want to go, but it won't be that easy." Xue Yuntian said, "In order to prevent those who are too strong from hiding their resources, the Jianxuan Territorial Waters has clear requirements for the island influences. Those who are invited must not be stronger than Level Three Cavern World Senior."
Touching his chin, Su Yu said, "What about the Jianxuan Territorial Waters?"
"Them? Haha, every year the Master of the Jianxuan Territorial Waters, Jian Ruxiong, enters it personally. What do you think? "Xue Yuntian said disdainfully.
Su Yu smacked his lips. How fair.
The island influences below only allowed those who were not strong enough to participate.
But even the Master of the Jianxuan Territorial Waters, an overlord level existence, was involved.
The island influences could not hope to fight for some precious items.
"No matter what, I will do my best to help them," Su Yu said.
Xue Yuntian cupped his fists in thanks and said, "Take this, it might be useful."
He handed the Sinan he had brought back from the Murong family to Su Yu and said, "When Murong Feng and I were still ordinary people, we entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons and found this in a secret space. Because it looked ordinary, the Jianxuan Territorial Waters did not take it away."
"But that space was extremely secretive, and it was used to hide this thing. It must be very important, but the two of us have been studying it for many years and have not been able to discover its secrets," Xue Yuntian said. "Now that you are going to the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons, it will be better if this thing can be useful."
There was one more thing he did not say. The reason he gave it to Su Yu was because of Su Yu's ability to appraise treasures.
Maybe this thing would be more useful in his hands.
Su Yu sized it up and said, "This thing should be used to point the way. Since it was found in the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons, it might only be useful in the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons."
Xue Yuntian said, "Anyway, I will leave this thing to you!"
There were still two months before the opening of the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons. After Su Yu returned, he chose to go into seclusion.
In addition to studying the Divine Path, Su Yu also studied the legacy of the Demonic Sword Boundless' swordsmanship.
After almost a year of training, Su Yu had a new understanding of the sword will.
He pulled out the Beauty Under the Moon. The sword energy circled around him and formed an arc around him, like a demonic moon in the night.
Then, he slammed his left palm on the ground, and the long sword in his hand stabbed repeatedly. The stabbing caused bursts of sparks to burn in the air, like falling meteors. It was very mesmerizing.
Su Yu's eyes shone with understanding. "Demonic Moon Revolving Style, Dark Night Meteor Thrust."
If the Demonic Moon Revolving Style was just the tip of the iceberg, then the Dark Night Meteor Thrust was the beginner level.
However, it was only a slight understanding, and he needed time to consolidate it.
Closing his eyes, Su Yu held the long sword in his hand and entered a deeper level of understanding.
Time flew by, and a month had passed.
Murong Qingcheng stayed in the Xue family for a whole month.
As expected, there were many rumors about the Twin Star Island.
Some said that Xue Yu had reconsidered marrying Murong Qingcheng and stayed for a month to test her.
Some said that the Murong family had sent her to serve Xue Yu, and that she was Xue Yu's plaything.
When Murong Qingcheng heard all these, she only pursed her lips into a smile and did not deny it.
Such an attitude made people even more suspicious.
On this day, Murong Qingcheng was leisurely planting flowers in Su Yu's yard, humming a lively tune.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, a sharp arrow pierced through the sky and came straight at her.
Murong Qingcheng's expression changed abruptly, and she yelled, "Who is it?"
At the same time, she pulled out her sword to block it.
However, the sharp arrow contained the divine power of a Level Three Cavern World Venerable. Not only did she fail to block it, but her arm was scratched by the sharp arrow.
The sharp arrow pierced into the secret room where Su Yu was.
"Young Master Xue, be careful!" Murong Qingcheng yelled anxiously.
Ding!
With a crisp sound of metal colliding, a starlight flashed and disappeared.
Then, the door of the secret room opened, and Su Yu walked out.
He held the Beauty under the Moon in one hand, and his whole body flickered with residual starlight, making him look dreamy and illusory.
The other hand held a black iron arrow.
A fine silk cloth was tied to the arrow. When it was unfolded, there was a line of beautiful small words on it.
"Do not enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons, or you will bear the consequences."
Murong Qingcheng came over to have a look and said angrily, "Humph! Who is so bold as to threaten you not to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons? "
She was very surprised. With Su Yu's current status, who dared to be so unscrupulous?
Su Yu looked thoughtful, shook his head, and sighed softly. "It's not a threat, but a reminder that someone in the Cave of Ten Thousand Dragons wants to harm me."
"Who?" Murong Qingcheng was curious.
