In the hall.
It fell into silence once more.
Liu Hong Yuguang glanced at Su Yu and suddenly smiled. "Su Yu, I've seen many newbies, but there aren't many who are as interesting as you. Your previous plan is actually not bad. I almost fell for it … "
"Thank you for your compliment, teacher!"
Su Yu smiled as well. It was just a competition of smiles. Who was afraid of who!
His current fondness for smiling had something to do with Liu Hong. He had learned it from him.
Even if he had a smile on his face, he might be thinking of something bad in his heart.
This was what Liu Hong taught him during the first lesson. Su Yu didn't forget that this fellow's radiant smile attracted many girls to him.
Liu Hong looked at him awkwardly.
He couldn't help but cough. "That … don't smile. I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like I'm looking in the mirror. When I was young, I really resembled you."
Su Yu wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
I'll fulfill your wish!
Liu Hong sighed. He looked at Su Yu again and slowly said, "Su Yu, did you come to me to take back those merit points?"
At this point, Su Yu naturally wouldn't hide it anymore. He directly said, "I don't dare to. After all, Teacher Liu has to bear a portion of the risk. I'll be satisfied if you give me half!"
He then continued, "If Teacher needs it, give me one-third … I'm actually fine with it. I just feel that it's unfair. After all, I've sacrificed a lot for this plan!"
Liu Hong laughed.
He didn't speak, as though he was thinking about something.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Su Yu and fell silent.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "You're stronger than Bai Feng!"
"…"
Su Yu didn't know how to respond.
"Why? Are you afraid? "
"Teacher, you must be joking. My teacher is one of the top geniuses in the world. He defeated a level nine in Soar. I can't compare to him."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Hong laughed heartily and said in amusement, "You're not honest!"
After laughing for a while, Liu Hong seemed to have figured something out. He gently exhaled and said, "Su Yu, if you don't mind, listen to me."
"Teacher, please speak!"
Su Yu maintained a respectful attitude. Even if he wanted to stab him to death, he still had to maintain a smile.
He would stab him to death with a smile!
"I come from a small aristocratic family. My family isn't too strong, but they do have some power. I'm not a direct descendant of the family, I'm just a bastard … "
Liu Hong sank into his memories. After a long time, he slowly said, "When I was young, I suffered as much as you did, perhaps even more! Born of a concubine … do you know what that means? "
Su Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Raised by a stepmother?"
"…"
Liu Hong really wanted to roast, but after a while, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He nodded and said, "That's true! That's what it means. My mother is my father's concubine. My brothers, although they say they're brothers, they're actually worse than outsiders. My father and grandfather only care about those born of the first wife. As for me and Liu He … we're living under someone else's roof, so we're treated like servants! "
Su Yu frowned and said, "Prefecture Head Xia once said that Da Xia Province no longer implements the concubine system. Why …"
"Prefecture Head is Prefecture Head. He's just saying!" Liu Hong said indifferently, "In this world, when men serve as soldiers, countless die in battle every year. There are more women than men. They're not strong and can't produce. If it's really like what Prefecture Head Xia said, monogamy, then many women will lose their dependence."
"Sometimes, Prefecture Head Xia isn't suitable to govern. He does whatever he wants."
Liu Hong criticized and quickly continued, "Let me finish."
"I'm born of a concubine. So even though I was talented when I was young, my family didn't think much of me. The reason I embarked on the path of a civilizator was because I met a good person …"
Liu Hong sank into his memories. "16 years ago, when I was still in a secondary school, I met an old man. He was my first teacher on the path of civilization. He taught me the Wan language and opened the door to Shenwen. He taught me many, many things!"
"It was him who gave me the qualifications to enter the Civilization Academy and gave me the qualifications to reach this day. In my heart, he was my teacher who taught me everything and gave me a new lease on life!"
As Su Yu listened, he vaguely felt … a sense of familiarity.
'This … why does it sound like he's talking about me?'
Liu Wenyan!
He felt a little dazed.
Liu Hong continued, "Under the old man's guidance, my results were outstanding and I was admitted to the Civilization Academy! On the day I was admitted to the Civilization Academy … the old man passed away. I was in great pain and regret. I even thought about giving up on enrolling … "
Liu Hong was in pain. His eyes were red. He sighed softly and said, "Before he passed away, he told me not to give up and to keep going! To fulfill his last wish and go to the Great Xia Civilization University to complete his unfinished business! "
"At that time, I didn't understand …"
Liu Hongyi's expression was bitter. "Until I entered the Civilization Academy and joined the Shan Shenwen faction in a daze … Suddenly, one day, another old man came to me and told me that my teacher who taught me was his best friend and one of the most important members of his faction. He was one of the military leaders back then!"
"The old man I found was very shocked that I had joined the School of Single Divine Text. Soon, he made his decision to have me withdraw from the School of Single Divine Text. But I am no longer the same as I was when I first came here and didn't understand anything. I know … that it will be very difficult for him! His faction is very, very difficult! "
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was amiss.
"So, I told him that I wanted to stay in the Shan Shenwen faction. I wanted to be the nail of his faction in the Shan Shenwen faction!"
"The old man wasn't willing. He's an upright person. He doesn't want to use such methods. But I'm different. I've suffered and suffered. The old man is too magnanimous. A gentleman like him can do research, but he's not suitable to strengthen a faction!"
"His faction was suppressed and suppressed. It was on the verge of extinction!"
Liu Hong gritted his teeth and said, "His faction is also the faction of my teacher. My teacher's unfinished business and his dying wish are all for this faction to continue growing and reappear in glory!"
"No matter what, I won't watch this faction be destroyed. I won't let the legacy and my teacher's last hope be destroyed!"
"…"
Su Yu's expression changed again and again as he looked at him.
Liu Hong regained his composure. "So, from then on, I took root in the Shan Shenwen faction. I want to become stronger. Only when I'm strong can I have the right to speak! Only when I'm strong can I fight for more things! Only when I'm strong can I protect that faction! "
"Now, I'm at level 8 of Soar. I need Ling Yun. I need Ling Yun as soon as possible. Soar is nothing. Only Ling Yun, or even Shan Hai, can enter the true upper echelons!"
Liu Hong looked at Su Yu with a burning gaze.
"Su Yu, I want to become stronger! I need more merit points! Do you … understand what I mean? "
Su Yu's gaze was extremely strange. After a while, he said in a low voice, "You mean … undercover?"
Liu Hong sighed. "You're a smart person. If it were Bai Feng or Chen Yong, I would never tell them that you're different. I see hope in you!"
Liu Hong said bitterly, "Undercover … Maybe! I've almost forgotten about this identity. You're right. The old man who came to the academy to look for me was your grandmaster, Hong Tan Gelao! "
"And the mentor I met in the academy was one of the people who were chased out 50 years ago. Just like your teacher in Southern Yuan, Liu Wenyan, he was also chased out. But he wasn't as lucky as Old Liu. He didn't have Soar for his entire life. He passed away just like that, leaving behind countless regrets!"
Liu Hong laughed self-deprecatingly. "To be honest, all these years, I've even given up. I want to forget everything and walk the path of Shan Shenwen. I also have a Shan Hai realm teacher here, and Shan Hai realm … is very powerful! My mentor isn't even Soar! He's only taught me for a few years. Do I really have to fulfill his last wish? "
"Even those geniuses 50 years ago couldn't do it. Do I have to do it for a mediocre person like me?"
Liu Hong became even more bitter. "Seeing you today, it's like I've seen myself in the past. I was foolish, full of ambition, and wanted to accomplish everything. In reality … in the end, we will still feel how insignificant we are!"
"…"
At this moment, Su Yu was extremely shocked!
Undercover?
This guy is from Shan Shenwen's faction?
His experience was similar to Lin Ming's. In the past, he had been taught by geniuses of the multiple divine runic arts department in a secondary academy. Afterwards, he had entered the academy but hadn't been able to enter the multiple divine runic arts department. Instead, he had stumbled upon the single divine runic arts department.
Hong Tan found him, but he refused to leave. Instead, he wanted to hide in Shan Shenwen's faction!
Su Yu's mouth was dry!
"You … What proof do you have …"
"Proof?"
Liu Hong could not help but laugh. "Why would I need to lie to you? If I'm talking about proof …"
Liu Hong hesitated for a moment before he said softly, "Did you really think that I was trying to trick you when you picked up Sky Breaker? I used an item worth thousands of merit points to trick a student like you? "
Su Yu's body trembled slightly!
"I'm just looking for an excuse to give it to you!"
Liu Hong sighed. "That's not all. I've also helped you deal with a lot of trouble in the dark. Otherwise, after you recuperated, there would have been people looking for trouble with you a long time ago. I asked Liu He to step in, saying that I wanted Liu He to teach you a lesson. That's why those people were stopped!
"Your senior sister, Wu Jia, was heavily injured. I was worried that you would follow in her footsteps, so I've been stopping them from attacking you!
"That idiot Bai Feng also knows how to run a business? "Actually, I'll support a batch of resources for the research center every month, but he doesn't know what's going on. He always thinks that it's a gift from the academy. What an idiot!"
Liu Hong looked at Su Yu and said with a smile, "If that's not enough, I'll tell you a few more things. In the Wentan Research Center, there's a Dendrolimus, a Fire Crow …"
He told him about the few demons who were still alive, and said with a smile, "These are all things that Elder Hong told me when we were chatting. If not, how would I know that no one from your side could enter?"
Su Yu swallowed his saliva and looked at him in a daze.
Family?
What the hell!
Liu Hong sighed. "Don't look at me like that. Actually, sometimes, I forget my original intentions. Although I say that I'm hiding, I'm actually a little lost. Maybe … Shan Shenwen's faction is more suitable for me. The current situation of Shenwen's faction is really indescribable.
"Until you enter the academy!"
His eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I suddenly see hope. I suddenly feel that Shen Wen's faction has been dormant for so many years. It's time for them to have some vigor! You've brought me too many surprises! "
Su Yu was a little embarrassed. He pretended to be calm and said with a dry throat, "That … Teacher, you really … really …"
"It's normal to be suspicious. Don't trust anyone easily!"
Liu Hong smiled. "I admire that about you. That bastard Wan Zu is even better at lying! Actually, whether it's true or not … why do you have to be so clear about it? "
He sighed and sighed with emotion.
"Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If … Shen Wen's faction can't hold on any longer, and there's really no way to revive it, then … I'll be a member of Shan Shenwen's faction for the rest of my life. I want to survive too. Su Yu, you might think that I'm shameless … but I want to live on!"
Su Yu was silent. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Teacher, I understand!"
"I hope so!"
Liu Hong smiled. "Actually, I don't care what others think of me. It's enough as long as I live my own life! Today, when I saw you, it was as if I saw myself in the past. It's too similar. Old Liu … I'm afraid he's just like my teacher, full of expectations for you! "
Su Yu nodded slightly. He couldn't help but think of Liu Wenyan.
There was a hint of longing in his eyes.
Liu Hong glanced at Yuguang and smiled. "Do your best! You've done well this time. Also, I won't admit to what you said outside. It's all a rumor. You'll do what you did in the past! "
After that, he said seriously, "80,000 merit points. I took 40,000 and gave the rest to Cheng Yun-fai! I'm worried that you'll attract attention if you take too much. Of course, I have my own selfish motives. I want to enter Ling Yun as soon as possible, and I need a treasure that's worth a lot … "
"Now that you've come to me, I, Liu Hong, still have some selfish motives. Su Yu, I'll give you 10,000 merit points. As for the remaining 30,000, I need to buy a treasure that can help me advance! Only when I'm in Ling Yun will I have enough authority to change some things! "
At this moment, Su Yu even wanted to say that there was no need for that!
But he was suddenly alarmed!
No!
I also want merit points. No, he said he was a spy … Was he really a spy?
Su Yu struggled. He wasn't sure.
But some things seemed to be telling him that Liu Hong might really not be his enemy. Take the Heavenly Sundering Kill for example. Although it had lured out Cheng Yun-fai, it was really worth a lot.
Su Yu struggled for a while. He looked at Liu Hong with some uncertainty and confusion.
Should I believe him?
Liu Hong seemed to know that he was struggling. He smiled and said, "I've said it before. I'll forget these words! You don't have to mind it too much. I hope you won't become the next Liu Hong or Su Yu. Live the way you want to live! "
"Teacher …"
Su Yu struggled. He said in a low voice, "That … I also need merit points. My … my strength is too low. I still have my father waiting for me in the All-Heavens Battlefield …"
"I understand!"
Liu Hong nodded slightly. He smiled and said, "You need merit points, but it's easier for me to earn them. How about this, I'll give you 15,000 merit points. I really need to buy a treasure with the rest. Su Yu, I'll return the remaining 25,000 merit points to you after I advance. How about it?"
15,000 merit points!
Su Yu thought about it. It was already a lot.
Adding the merit points he had, he had 20,000 merit points!
Although he wasn't sure, Su Yu felt that even if Liu Hong was lying, 15,000 was more or less the limit. What if Liu Hong shed all pretense of cordiality if he asked for more?
Nodding his head with a complicated expression, Su Yu exhaled and said, "Alright, Teacher Liu, I … I'll accept it. I really need this …"
"It's understandable!"
Liu Hong smiled and took out a merit card. "This is an anonymous old merit card. You can withdraw merit points from it. 15,000 merit points, just nice …"
Su Yu felt a little awkward. He took the card and hesitated for a moment. He said embarrassedly, "That … that … can I check the balance?"
"…"
Liu Hongxin was tired. I've already said it like this, but this bastard is still so vigilant.
"Fine, you're good!"
Liu Hong smiled and said, "Vigilance is a good thing!"
Su Yu was embarrassed. He didn't say anything else and directly checked the card. Fortunately, it was really 15,000 merit points.
After checking, the two fell into silence again.
A moment later, Liu Hong smiled and said, "Go back and forget everything that happened tonight! Whatever happens in the future, I won't treat you differently in front of outsiders. Liu He will still find trouble with you, and I will still suppress your faction! "
"You too!"
Liu Hong said in a deep voice, "Just pretend that nothing happened, especially don't say anything to that idiot Bai Feng. He's … stupid!"
Liu Hong said helplessly, "It's not that I'm looking down on him, but if he finds out about this, I'm afraid he'll ruin my plans and yours. He's a good troublemaker!"
"Got it!"
Su Yu responded, stood up, and strode out.
When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment and turned back to ask, "Teacher Liu, that teacher of yours … can you tell me his name? He died in a secondary school without anyone knowing. It's a tragedy for our Shenwen faction! "
"You brat …"
Liu Hong laughed, not minding it, and said, "Zhang Ruoling! He was a teacher in Da Xia's No.18 Secondary School, a secondary school in the suburbs of Da Xia Province. He passed away nine years ago. You … are pretty good! "
Su Yu laughed dryly and strode out.
I still have to check!
Otherwise, I won't dare to fully believe him!
…
After Su Yu left, Liu Hong exhaled softly. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Interesting, this brat. In order to fool you, I almost fooled myself!"
He sighed. It's really not easy for me!
"This is wisdom!"
"I don't know when Hong Gelao will return. By the time he finds out, I'll already be Ling Yun, have used up all my merit points, and the matter will be over … hehe …"
Liu Hong laughed proudly!
I really admire myself!
Only Su Yu would believe this lie. If it was his idiotic disciple, he would have believed it. Merit points?
He might even have to take out all his merit points for his advancement!
"15,000 merit points!"
As he spoke, he still felt the pinch.
If he hadn't told this lie, he wouldn't have been able to send Su Yu away without 20,000 merit points.
At least he had saved 5,000 merit points!
And this way, Su Yu wouldn't keep his eyes on him. To be honest, he still had some lingering fear after almost being scammed by Su Yu.
Damn it, this brat is coming for me.
He wants to scam me into bankruptcy!
"Hehe, go and check. Hong Gelao isn't around. Everything you check is true. Tsk!"
Liu Hong laughed again, feeling admiration for his own wit!
There really was a No.18 Secondary School, there really was his enrollment record, there really was Zhang Ruoling, the old man who was expelled, and he really died nine years ago …
All of this was true!
As for the fake … Of course, it wasn't his teacher who taught him!
Liu Hong curled his lips. He was from a small aristocratic family. No matter what, the Liu family could hire a few Wan language teachers for them. If a large family was so deceitful, how could they produce such talents?
There was a school within the family, and he was just a nobody in a secondary school!
…
Outside the villa …
Su Yu was still thinking about this problem as he walked.
Was it true?
He wasn't sure at all!
"Teacher and Uncle-Master don't know either?
"Only Grandmaster knows?"
Su Yu had a headache. Liu Hong's words made him fall into a dilemma.
If it was really someone on his side … what should he do?
This time, 80,000 merit points, he took 20,000, Liu Hong 25,000, Uncle-Master 14,000, Cheng Yun-fai 19,000, and the resources Liu Hong bought for him, totaling up to 20,000.
Su Yu actually took the most. Including Chen Yong, he took 34,000 merit points!
However, Liu Hong also took quite a lot. If he wasn't one of them, Su Yu would have to get back at him sooner or later.
But if he was one of them … Although Liu Hong said that he wouldn't know about this, how could he really pretend that he didn't know?
Bearing the humiliation and lurking in Shan Shenwen's faction … How could he not take this matter seriously?
…
Back at the research center, Su Yu didn't waste any time and went straight to a small study in the living area.
After searching for a while, Su Yu soon obtained a name list!
"Zhang Ruoling … Year 300 of the Anping calendar, banished, entered the No.18 Middle School in Da Xia Province, served as a Wan language teacher … Year 341 of the Anping calendar, died of illness on his bed …"
There really was such a person!
Soon, Su Yu took out his communicator, dialed a number, and said directly, "Which secondary school did Liu Hong graduate from?"
"Wait, let me help you check …"
After a while, Xia Hu You replied, "The No.18 Middle School in Da Xia Province. Why?"
"He's a concubine's son?"
"Yes!"
Su Yu didn't ask anymore. If he asked again, if it was true, it would easily expose Liu Hong's identity.
"What's the matter?" Xia Hu You's interest was piqued, and he asked, "Do you know something? Also, what's going on today? Su Yu, we're brothers, can't you say a few more words? "
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, just earned some money. Hu You, if you want to do business with me, then you better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise … this business may not go through!"
Xia Hu You was a little excited. "Of course! Do you want the goods now? "
Excited!
A big business was coming!
Originally, he had thought that he would at least wait for Su Yu to enter the top hundred list, or even SOAR, before he could do a big business, but now … perhaps it would be possible soon!
Xia Hu You laughed in his heart. No matter how many merits Su Yu earned, in the end, it would still be his!
This was a businessman!
Doing business, selling a kitchen stove was indeed the way to get rich. Once a person got rich, he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink anymore!
"Let's talk tomorrow, it's not convenient now!"
"Understood!"
After hanging up, Xia Hu You laughed and clenched his fist. I'm rich!
And that kid, Cheng Yun-fai, is also rich!
