Although Su Xin had decided to return to the Su family to acknowledge his ancestors, Su Xin had no sense of belonging to the Su family at all.
Looking at the attitude of Su Zhongwei and the others, he knew that the people of the Su family were almost hopeless.
However, Su Xin was not worried that someone from the Su family would secretly plot against him.
There were still people in the Su family who understood the situation. For example, people like Su Mingyuan could be regarded as the reformists of the Su family.
These people were more reasonable. They knew that if the Su family wanted to smoothly establish a foothold in Jianghu, they must find a powerful ally.
As one of the Four Great Super Arresters, Su Xin was obviously a powerful ally. Therefore, in the Su family, Su Mingyuan had to protect Su Xin no matter what.
Six Fan School had nothing to do for the time being. Moreover, as the Four Great Super Arresters, they spent most of their time running around the Zhou Kingdom because everyone had territory and tasks to patrol.
During this period of time, the Four Great Super Arresters had gathered in Shengjing City. It was because the fight for the crown prince was a little too serious, so they had to stay in Shengjing City to suppress it. Otherwise, these princes had several warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm under their command. If they really got angry, they had to be careful.
However, now that the crisis had been resolved, there were not so many restrictions.
Now that Su Xin was one of the Four Great Super Arresters, he did not need to ask for leave from anyone. He did not even need to say a word to Tie Ao. The spies of Six Fan School were all over Jianghu. They roughly knew where each of the Four Great Super Arresters were.
Therefore, Su Xin was relieved to follow Su Mingyuan to the Su family of Ningyuan Store.
Seeing the fog outside the Su family, Su Xin asked curiously, "What if someone accidentally enters your Su family?"
Su Mingyuan said lightly, "Although the Jianghu people have long known about the existence of the Su family, the details of the Su family cannot be exposed.
Therefore, those who accidentally enter the Su family will be accepted as servants if they are obedient, and those who are not will be killed. "
Su Xin nodded. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, the Su family was very decisive in this matter.
After all, the secluded world was like the Su Family. Others only roughly knew that there was such a family, and even vaguely knew the strength of the Su Family. This was called seclusion, and others would be afraid of the Su Family.
After all, the unknown was the scariest thing in the world.
If everything about the Su Family was exposed by the outside world, they would lose this layer of mystery and there would be nothing to be afraid of.
After entering the Su Family, the scenery inside was indeed very beautiful. It felt like a paradise.
However, under the decorated archway of the Ningyuan Store, many members of the Su family were looking at Su Xin with various expressions.
After all, this was the first time in so many years that an outsider had been officially invited into the Su Family.
Most of these gazes were filled with curiosity, while a small portion of them looked at Su Xin with pride and disdain.
These people were all of the direct bloodline of the Su Family. In front of the collateral bloodline, no matter who the person was, they naturally had a sense of superiority.
Su Mingyuan frowned and scolded, "What are you looking at? Go back and cultivate! "
As an elder at the Harmonious Spirit Realm, Su Mingyuan still had a lot of prestige among the many experts of the Su Family. As soon as his words came out, the onlookers immediately dispersed.
Su Xin looked at all this coldly, but in his heart, he secretly thought that the current situation of the Su Family was really very serious.
Su Mingyuan divided the current Su Family into the reformist faction and the conservative faction, but in Su Xin's view, the current Su Family should be divided into the collateral bloodline and the direct bloodline.
These collateral bloodline disciples looked at Su Xin with eyes full of curiosity and desire. After all, Su Xin was now leading them out of the seclusion of the Ningyuan Store.
In the Ningyuan Store, the collateral bloodline disciples always did the most tiring work, but they enjoyed far less treatment than the direct bloodline disciples.
In the Ningyuan Store, all the chores such as planting herbs, alchemy, and refining were done by the collateral bloodline disciples. The direct bloodline disciples only cared about enjoying themselves.
These collateral bloodline disciples were not stupid. They knew that if they continued to stay in the Ningyuan Store, they could only be vassals for the rest of their lives.
Only by going out, with the number of collateral bloodline disciples, could they go further in the vast sky of the outside world.
Most of the direct bloodline disciples of the Ningyuan Store were the conservative faction. Anyway, for them, it was not bad to enjoy the life in the Ningyuan Store and immerse in the glory of the Su Family in the past.
Except for people like Su Mingyuan who often came into contact with the outside world, the others did not want to change.
However, even if he saw the current hidden danger of the Su Family, Su Xin did not remind Su Mingyuan of anything.
He did not want to be too deeply involved with the Su Family. This time, he only came to complete a deal, so Su Xin did not want to care about other things, nor did he care.
After Su Mingyuan arranged a room for Su Xin, he called a young disciple of the Su Family to serve Su Xin, and then he went to communicate with the Su Family's ancestors and elders.
After all, although Su Xin's plan had been put forward, it still needed the approval of the Su Family.
Moreover, if Su Xin wanted to enter the Su Family's secret realm to cultivate, he would first have to worship the ancestors. The Su Family did not have many other things, but this set of complicated ceremony was passed down from ancient times, which was very troublesome.
The person serving Su Xin was a disciple of the Su Family who was less than twenty years old. His name was Su Zichen, and he already had the cultivation of the Innate Qi Hai Realm.
In the outside world, having the cultivation of the Qi Hai Realm at this age was already considered a first-class talent, but in the Su Family, it was only considered ordinary.
The young man of the Su Family looked at Su Xin and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but did not know what to say.
In terms of seniority, the Su Family now had five generations. He was the only one left from the generation of the Su Family's ancestors. Su Mingyuan and the "Ming" generation were the second generation, and almost all of them had reached the Spirit Integration Realm.
The third generation of the Su Family was the "Zhong" generation, which was the generation of Su Xin's father. Most of them were in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The fourth generation of the Su Family was Su Xin's generation, which should be the "Lin" generation. Some of them had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, but most of them were in the Divinity Realm.
The fifth generation of the Su Family was Su Zichen's generation. Most of them were still teenagers, and there were no Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators.
In terms of seniority, Su Zichen should have called Su Xin uncle, but since Su Xin had not returned to the family yet, it did not seem appropriate to call him that.
However, he had grown up in Ningyuan Hall and had almost no contact with people from the outside world. For a moment, he didn't know how to address Su Xin.
Seeing Su Zichen's expression, Su Xin smiled, "You can just call me senior."
Su Zichen hurriedly said, "Senior, you've just arrived at Ningyuan Hall. Do you need me to prepare some food for you?"
Su Xin shook his head, then asked casually, "You grew up in Ningyuan Hall. Have you ever thought about leaving?"
Su Zichen hurriedly nodded. "Of course I have!"
"Why?"
Su Zichen hesitated. If anyone else in the Su Family had asked him, he would definitely not have answered. However, this person was Su Xin.
He had heard from the Su Family elders that his father had escaped from the Su Family several years ago. Su Zichen had grown up in the outside world, and this time, he was the one who could lead the Su Family out of Ningyuan Hall.
Thus, Su Zichen only hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've heard from my clansmen who have been to the outside world that the cultivators in the outside world live a much more exciting life than we do.
Also, in the outside world, as long as you have the strength of the Xiantian Realm, you can be considered an expert and be respected.
It's not like Ningyuan Hall. We only know how to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate. Even if we reach the Soul Transformation Realm, we are only in charge of refining pills or artifact under the orders of the elders. "
Su Zichen was right. In the eyes of the cultivators in the outside world, Xiantian Realm cultivators were indeed experts, while Soul Transformation Realm cultivators were experts among experts. They were at the level of martial arts masters.
From the looks of it, Su Zichen had clearly been dissatisfied with the current arrangements of the Su Family for a long time.
"Oh yeah, can I take a look outside?" Su Xin suddenly asked.
Su Zichen nodded. "Of course, but there are some places that are forbidden to the Su Family. Only direct descendants can enter."
Su Xin nodded. Then, Su Zichen took Su Xin for a stroll around Ningyuan Hall.
Ningyuan Hall wasn't very large. At most, it was the size of a market in a small prefecture in the outside world.
A small prefecture's market could accommodate tens of thousands of people. However, the problem was that not all of these places could be used for living. There needed to be places to grow food and herbs. Otherwise, what would they eat? What would they use for cultivation?
Because of that, the entire Ningyuan Hall didn't seem to be enough.
Su Zichen pointed at the huge bronze palace in front of them, "That is the Su Family's Scripture Depository. It is also one of the forbidden areas of the Su Family. Only direct descendants can enter."
Ningyuan Hall's Su Family's Scripture Depository could be said to be the most important existence in the Su Family apart from their bloodline.
The Su Family had lived in seclusion since ancient times. Their Scripture Depository possessed countless powerful ancient cultivation techniques. Even Su Xin was slightly moved by them.
"You are also disciples of the Su Family. Although you are from the branch family, why can't you enter the Scripture Depository? Where did you get your cultivation techniques from?" Su Xin asked.
Su Zichen replied, "Only direct descendants have the right to enter the Scripture Depository to choose their own cultivation techniques. The cultivation techniques that we, the branch family disciples, cultivate are all given to us after the elders have chosen them. We don't have the right to choose at all."
Su Xin instantly frowned when he heard Su Zichen's words. The difference between the Su Family's direct descendants and branch family disciples was much more serious than I had imagined.
Martial cultivation techniques were the most important thing for a cultivator. Only they knew what cultivation techniques they needed.
Yet, these branch family disciples couldn't even decide for themselves. The Su Family's direct descendants really went overboard.
However, at that very moment, a cold voice sounded out, "Su Zichen! Who allowed you to come here? Is the Scripture Depository a place that you have the right to enter? You unruly thing! "
Su Xin turned around and saw a Su Family youth about the same age as Su Zichen looking at the two of them coldly with a look of disgust.
Su Zichen's face instantly turned bright red when he saw the youth, while a hint of hatred appeared in his eyes. However, that didn't escape Su Xin's eyes.
