For thousands of years, the number of Dharmakayas was few and far between. Even Su Wuming had been a Half-step to Dharmakaya for many years. It was still unknown if he could successfully attain enlightenment and become an immortal. Now, a young boy dared to boast that he was aiming for Dharmakaya?
Throughout history, only two or three people had achieved such a feat. Most of them were still stuck in the Exterior realm.
He Jiu and Wang Siyuan, who were able to reach the top in a single step, did not dare to boast like this!
Therefore, in the hearts of the Su family, all they could feel was the arrogance that came to their faces. Only Su Ziyue's eyes were shining with admiration. In the eyes of a little girl at her age, her second brother really did not take the ordinary path. He had the title of nobility and family property, and he had lofty goals. He was not like the sons of the aristocratic families around her. He was really heroic and heroic!
This was the Killing Blade!
This was the first on the Ranking List of Young Masters!
Hearing Mengqi's last words, Duke Su Li frowned slightly. "Ridiculous! Of course your mother is still buried in the same place! "
He thought that Mengqi meant that the Su family moved the grave to a bad place.
"I have not returned for many years. I don't know the way anymore." Mengqi said frankly. The more he tried to avoid it, the more suspicious it would be. Anyway, he had the excuse of leaving for a few years.
Su Li looked at the young man beside him. "Zihua, bring your brother to pay his respects."
The young man was in his twenties. His facial features were similar to Su Li's, but he was taller. However, he had a gloomy temperament and was taciturn.
"Yes, father." Su Zihua's voice was soft and smooth.
He nodded slightly and led Mengqi out of the main house.
Before they left the yard, Mengqi vaguely heard Ke Weilan sneer. "Back home, not only did he not pay his respects to the ancestors, he first wanted to sweep the grave of his concubine's mother. What a great man of the Su family …"
"Her hostility is the most obvious …" Mengqi nodded thoughtfully.
On the way, Su Zihua did not speak much. He led Mengqi out of the mansion, took a carriage to the village outside the city, and walked to the graveyard.
"It's here …" Su Zihua pointed at a lone grave.
This was the edge of the graveyard. Other than the grave, there was nothing else. Just as the horse-faced man had described, the weeds had all been removed by the servants. They were quite attentive.
Looking at the two words "Tang" on the tombstone, Mengqi let out a sigh. He calmed his mind and solemnly paid his respects to the Mother of Flesh. It was all thanks to her that he could catch the attention of his Master. Otherwise, he would have died in the Samsara task due to the lack of guidance in reality and the slow progress of his martial arts.
"Now that you've successfully cultivated your bloodline, and your name has spread far and wide, you should smile in the underworld …" As he kowtowed again and again, Mengqi's green robes fluttered slightly, and his heart sank.
Suddenly, he felt Su Zihua walk to his side and pay his respects as well.
"Be careful of Fifth Uncle." Su Zihua muttered to himself as he looked at the grave.
Fifth Uncle? Golden Eye Arrester Su Yue? Mengqi didn't turn around either. He slowly straightened his body and said, "Shouldn't it be Ke Weilan?"
Su Zihua was stunned. He had actually called him by his name. How arrogant and unruly!
Restraining his emotions, Su Zihua's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Her? Even if I didn't mention it, you'd still be careful of her. "
"She's gone mad long ago. If not for the fact that your identity hasn't been exposed so early and that Father has tried his best to hide it from her, I'm afraid she would have done something crazy already. But you don't have to worry about it in the Fairy's Capital."
Mengqi was about to ask again, but Su Zihua had already straightened his body and walked back to the carriage. He returned to his taciturn self, unwilling to speak any further.
'She has an unmentionable illness, and occasionally goes mad …' Looking at Su Zihua's back, Mengqi frowned slightly as he thought.
Without a word on the way back, Mengqi returned to the Su family's main residence.
In the main hall, everyone had already taken their seats. However, the one sitting at the head of the table was not the Divine Might Marquis Su Li, but an old lady with a dragon-headed walking stick.
She was Su Li's mother, Bai Jingluo, the first wife's daughter of the Bai family in the Fairy's Capital. Her hair was still jet-black, and there were no wrinkles on her face. If not for the fact that she was dressed so heavily that she looked like an old lady, no one would have thought that she was an octogenarian.
"Grandmother …" Su Zihua bowed submissively, causing Old Lady Bai to frown slightly.
However, she immediately turned her gaze to Mengqi.
Mengqi did not speak. He greeted her with the etiquette of a senior, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Good." Old Lady Bai suddenly praised. Her voice did not sound old either. "Throughout the history of the Su family, no one has ever topped the Ranking List of Young Masters. Seeing such a fine grandson, I can die in peace. The Su family's bloodline is not inferior to anyone else's!"
Compared to Su Li and Su Yue, Old Lady Bai seemed to be closer and kinder.
At this moment, Ke Weilan raised her head and said with dissatisfaction, "If my child was born smoothly, he might not be inferior to him. No, he has both the Su and Ke family's bloodlines. His aptitude should be better …"
Her tone was calm, but it made Mengqi's hair stand on end.
"It's really hard to tell right from wrong. It's a pool of muddy water …" Mengqi raised his head and looked at the lavishly decorated hall. For some reason, he felt a little gloomy. The rich and powerful were as deep as the sea.
Old Lady Bai said in a low voice, "Weilan, let's not talk about the past. No one wants accidents …"
Before she could finish, Mengqi let out a long laugh. "Aptitude?"
Everyone present looked at him, wondering what he wanted to say.
"If we're talking about family background, my uncle is a genius. At a young age, he was able to combine the inside and the outside. Now he's already at the peak of the Exterior. The Tang family's bloodline is not inferior to the Ke family's." Mengqi seemed to want to argue for the Tang family.
Xuan Bei … Su Yue, Su Li, and the others all narrowed their eyes.
Ke Weilan stood up, her eyes like fire, wanting to burn the person in front of her. "How can my Ke family be compared to a lowly servant's small family?"
"Small family?" Mengqi laughed. "Most of the aristocratic families in Luoyang live a luxurious life. They're frogs at the bottom of a well and haven't seen the heroes of the world. Each generation is worse than the one before. Does the Ke family have any outstanding young people? They seem to be vigorous and vigorous, but they're just rotten on the inside! "
Ke Weilan's face twisted. "How dare you look down on this generation of masters of the Ke family?"
Mengqi stopped smiling and put his hands behind his back. He said calmly, "So what if I look down on them?"
"Since I said it, they'll have to accept it!"
His tone was resolute and unyielding. Su Ziyu and the others came to their senses. The person in front of them was the current number one on the Ranking List of Young Masters, the real strongest of the young generation. As for those who had reached the perfect Half-step and the Exterior, they were in different realms. If the Ke family had such a person, he would have been on the Ranking List of Young Masters!
Most importantly, Su Ziyuan was not even 20 years old. He Jiu, Wang Siyuan, and the others could not reach this level of strength at this age!
Ke Weilan's eyes were burning with anger. She clenched her fists and the airflow around her suddenly froze.
Mengqi looked at her fearlessly, but his focus was on observing the reactions of Su Yue and the others. Since the Ke family could not be saved, he might as well use this opportunity to observe the enemy and his allies.
Su Li was about to use his status as the head of the family to scold and persuade them when he saw Old Madame Bai shaking her head.
What did she mean? How could she let them have a conflict? Su Li was stunned at first, but then he understood. She was using the Ke family's power to force Ziyuan to return to the family!
The Ke family had a grandmaster and one of the Eight Great Super Arresters. They were very powerful in the Six Fan School. If Ziyuan completely offended them, there would be a lot of trouble in the future. Xuan Bei was strong, but he could not always protect this abandoned disciple of Shaolin Temple, especially when he could only suppress and make things difficult for him. When that time came, the Su family could provide protection and win him back.
Although the Su family was not as powerful as the Ke family, they still had one of the Great Super Arresters who had been operating in the imperial guards and the Six Fan School for many years. Their power could not be underestimated.
Would they rather offend the allies of the Ke family for a potential genius? Su Li narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at his brother. Su Yue was still smiling, and he could not tell what he was thinking.
If everything went well, the Su family would have their own grandmaster in ten years …
Just when they were full of thoughts and hesitating, Ke Weilan had already taken a step forward, and a strong wind seemed to gather in the hall.
"Say that again!"
"Mother, second brother is not …" Su Ziyue hurriedly explained.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder as someone patted her gently. She looked back and saw her second brother smiling calmly, without a trace of panic.
"If you are not satisfied, I will let the young masters of the Ke family challenge me." Mengqi's tone was calm, and he was going to meet force with force.
Seeing this, Old Madame Bai's lips moved, and a smile seemed to appear on her face.
Suddenly, a servant rushed in. "Marquis, Old Madame, there is an invitation for second young master, inviting him to dinner."
"Which family?" Su Li asked in a low voice.
"It's Minister of Revenue Wang," the servant answered respectfully.
Su Li suddenly stood up. "Minister of Revenue Wang? Minister of Revenue Wang who recently entered the Political Affairs Hall? "
He had not yet changed the way he addressed him.
He was the youngest grandmaster of the Wang family from Zhou County. Not only was he the pillar of the aristocratic family, but he was also deeply trusted by the emperor!
Although the Wang family from Zhou County, who followed the teachings of the Sages, was also guarded by the imperial family and dissatisfied with their local authority, they were more trustworthy than other aristocratic families.
Wang Zai's father? Brother Wang Zai also came to Luoyang? Mengqi was slightly surprised.
Before the servant could answer, another person rushed in. "Marquis, Old Madame, the Langya Duke's Mansion has sent an invitation to second young master to dinner."
"The Langya Duke's Mansion?" Old Madame Bai could not help but murmur. When she was in her prime, it was the time when Old Master Ruan, a Half-step to Dharmakaya, was in charge of the Political Affairs Hall. His majesty was still fresh in her memory, and even left a shadow in her heart.
Every aristocratic family had a Duke's Mansion in Luoyang. However, Wang Zai's father was not a legitimate son, and he held a high position, so he invited him in his own name.
When she looked at Mengqi again, the look in her eyes was different. Even without the protection of the Su family, why would Su Ziyuan be afraid of the Ke family?
The Wang family from Zhou County and the Ruan family from Langya seemed to attach great importance to him …
At first, she thought it was just a friendly relationship. Who would have expected him to invite him to a banquet as soon as he entered the capital?
He had a clean background and great potential. If he married into the family or became a Foreign Official, who wouldn't like him?
"What is the little foodie doing …" Mengqi was a little confused, but he could clearly feel the shock and caution in the eyes of the people in the hall. Even Ke Weilan restrained her anger and looked on in surprise.
Of course, there was no lack of envy, jealousy, and respect.
