Chapter 113

Perhaps because Su Qing was a woman, she knew what the strongest weapon a woman could use was.

Of course, she also knew what the weakness of most men was, which was why she had sent people to control all of the brothels in the capital.

Even those men of the martial arts world who were as firm as a rock in front of these harsh interrogation techniques were few in number who could resist the soft and gentle fragrance of beautiful women.

In recent years, the brothels in the capital city had always been the biggest source of information for the Su Clan.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Gao Family was in a difficult position, she would have long since decided to keep the casinos for herself.

However, she wouldn’t go and take control of the brothel herself. Naturally, she didn’t want to touch such a low-level matter.

All of the news networks formed by the brothels were gathered in the Grand Cauldron Academy.

The person in charge of this network was the Dean of the Grand Cauldron Academy, Su Pei.

Speaking of which, Su Pei was a very awkward person, so he had been living very carefully.

He was an outsider among the people who had been married to her from the State of Zhao, because his surname was not Su.

Right now, the Prime Minister of the Left, Su Mao, and the Great General Su Zong could already be considered to be the most extraordinary of ministers and officials, and Su Pei looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, few of the people who had accompanied the Empress Dowager to the Yan Kingdom were truly talented.

On the surface, Su Qing was the eldest princess of Zhao, the blood sister of Zhao Wang. However, Zhao didn’t care about the fact that the woman who got married was the same as the water that was spilled.

If it wasn’t for Su Qing warming up, the State of Zhao wouldn’t have contacted him so closely.

At that time, Su Qing got married, and all of the people that were with her were people that Zhao Wang disliked.

For example, Su Mao was said to be Su Qing’s warm cousin, but the truth was that their relationship was also very far.

As for Su Zong, he was even further away and could barely be considered to be the emperor’s kin.

However, there weren’t many people that Su Qing could warm up with, so she could only pick up the promotions that were close to her.

In terms of ability, Su Pei felt that he alone was comparable to a hundred Su Mao and a thousand Su Zong.

“”Little Die?””

Su Pei frowned slightly, “”Which building are you from?””

“”The Red Moon Restaurant,”” answered Hesse, his trusted aide.

Su Pei replied, “”I’ve never heard of such a person who has the guts to ask me for money. Looks like the people in charge of the Red Moon Restaurant have been replaced. How do you train them?””

Hesen had a thin, stern face. He was a man who looked to be around thirty years old.

He was one of Su Pei’s most trusted subordinates, and the reason he ascended to the throne was because he had adhered to a principle … Su Pei’s orders had to be obeyed, even if Su Pei wanted him to kill his parents.

In fact, he had poisoned his uncle and aunt to take possession of the old houses.

Hesse was a paradox. He still lived in the smallest of the rooms, as if he didn’t have to go to the room where his uncle and aunt had been.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to gain a foothold beside Su Pei despite his cold background.

Su Pei liked using people like them. As long as there were benefits, as long as there was hope, they would fight for their lives.

Hei Sen replied, “”The Red Moon Restaurant’s madam and manager have been brought back. They are currently locked in jail. They have already used torture. However, they don’t know anything.””

Su Pei nodded, “”Since you don’t know anything, then kill them all. There’s no use in keeping them.””

“”I gave them money to give them status, but they actually raised someone who went against me. What a disappointment.””

He asked Hesse, “”Can you find the butterfly?””

Hei Sen replied, “”We are investigating. This little butterfly is from the capital. She doesn’t have many relatives. We have already checked her.””

She had been selected for the Red Moon Restaurant at the age of fourteen and hadn’t left for the past four years, so her network was very small.

Give me a little more time, my lord, and I shall soon be able to find her. “”

Su Pei replied with a grunt, “”Su Feiyun is not important. If he’s dead, then so be it.””

What’s important is that I want to see which family in the capital has the gall to dare to touch someone from my Su Clan. “”

He waved his hand and said, “”Go and investigate, the people in the capital are never afraid of death.””

“”The water in the capital is too deep. A few people who died wouldn’t be able to float.””

Hei Sen nodded and replied, “”This subordinate will be leaving now.””

He came out of Su Pei’s room and immediately felt a cold breeze blowing against his face the moment he stepped out of the door.

In that instant, he felt as if there was a sword right in front of his throat. If he made even the slightest movement, this sword would easily pierce his throat.

Hei Sen was very confident in his own strength, but at this moment, he seemed to have lost all of his courage and determination.

“”Young master.””

He lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

Su Feihun, who was dressed in white, glanced at Hei Sen: “”You came here because there is news of Feiyun’s whereabouts?””

Hesse replied, “”Not yet, but we’re working on it.””

Su Feihun made an “”oh”” sound and walked into Su Pei’s room.

When Su Feihun entered, the choking feeling disappeared.

When Hesse stood up, he realized that his back was drenched in sweat.

Su Feihun was very young, but in front of Su Feihun, Hei Sen felt as if his ego had been trampled upon.

Su Feihun had used less than half the time he had left, leaving him far behind.

And the most important thing was, his surname was Su …

Hei Sen let out a long sigh and left the Grand Cauldron Academy in a somewhat dejected manner.

After walking out of the Grand Cauldron Academy, Hei Sen raised his head and looked at the dazzling sunlight. He felt that he really wasn’t suited to live in this kind of light.

He still liked the darkness, the pleasure of getting rid of the target in the dark.

He liked to be hidden from everyone’s eyes, and he liked to move freely in the dark.

He left the Grand Cauldron Academy and walked through two small alleys before coming to a stop.

He saw a youth, a youth who stood under the sunlight and breathed freely.

He felt that he was somewhat disgusted with this kind of person. That youth seemed to be born suited to live in the light, while he was the opposite.

He felt that there was a type of light coming from the youth’s body, and that he would be burnt.

He was looking at the boy, and the boy was looking at him.

“”Who are you?””

Hei Sen walked over and asked in a condescending manner.

The youth smiled. “”My name is An Zou.””

Heshen was slightly taken aback. “”An argument?””

“”Have you been very popular in the Martial Arts Academy recently?””

An Zhan shook his head. “”At the peak of a storm, it might not be a good thing.””

Hei Sen asked, “”You’re from the Martial Arts Academy, why did you come to the Grand Cauldron Academy?””

“”I was at the cusp of the storm,”” he replied, looking a little distressed.

But there are things that must be faced now that they have happened.

I know that someone called Ding Shengxia left the Grand Cauldron Academy to cause trouble for me.

Since I can’t avoid it, I can only think of a way to deal with it.

“”However, I don’t like trouble, so I wanted to see if I could find this Young Master Ding and ask if I could deal with him in private.””

Hei Sen could not help but laugh. “”You make it sound so nice, so you’re here to admit your inferiority.””

An Zhan shrugged nonchalantly, “”Isn’t living more important than anything else?””

Hei Sen turned around. “”That’s your problem, it has nothing to do with me.””

“”Since you were so high-profile back then, you should know what the consequences of high-profile were.””

“”May I ask, do you know Young Master Ding?””

Andersen called after Hesse.

Hei Sen did not turn his head. “”I don’t know him.””

He then asked, “”Then, can you help me find someone who knows Young Master Ding?””

I have a present for him that I apologize for. “”

Hei Sen’s footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned around to look, and then he was attracted by An Zhe’s object.

His eyes grew bigger and bigger, and the greedy light in them became more and more obvious.

“”What’s that?””

he asked.

An Zhan replied with a smile, “”A red rank pill can raise a person’s cultivation level by one small level.””

Hei Sen said, “”Give it to me. I’ll pass it on to Young Master Ding on your behalf.””

An Zhan shook his head. “”Do you think I’m stupid?””

I don’t know if you’re going to give it to him, but in case you keep it, I don’t even have a witness. “”

Hei Sen thought for a moment. “”Then I will bring you to see him.””

An Zhan nodded, “”Alright then, thank you very much.””

Hesse turned, looked ahead, and thought of a place.

An Zhan continued speaking behind him, “”I don’t know if young master Ding is interested in such a pill. The next few levels within the Ascending Realm can raise one’s cultivation base by one small level. Although it might sound good, but this person is of great influence, so he might not necessarily be interested.””

The more he spoke, the more Hesse’s expression became ferocious.

That’s right, a Red Rank pinnacle pill like that would have a great effect on those within the initial realms of the Ascending Realm. However, it would only have a slightly smaller effect on those above the Ascending Realm.

With Hei Sen’s current cultivation level, he would obviously not increase his cultivation level by that much after eating this red rank pill. However, it was of vital importance to his higher cultivation level.

The rewards that Su Pei had given him were not much, and the rewards he had obtained from killing people over the years were actually not as valuable as that red rank pill.

Hesse, of course, was not an impulsive, senseless man, but he was at a critical juncture.

Cultivators all knew that the difference between the Ascending Realm and the Sumeru Realm was a huge gulf.

No matter how powerful the Realm of Ascending, it was still a close combat.

Once one reached the realm of the Sumeru, they could attack from afar and kill people without them noticing.

As he spoke, his mind went back to all the news about Hailsham that had been provided by the Gathering House.

The information network of the Su Clan’s brothel was all controlled by the Great Cauldron Academy’s Su Pei, and this Hei Sen was his right-hand man. According to the information he had gathered, Hei Sen was in charge of dealing with Little Die.

Until now, the scouts of the Gathering Shang Academy had not been able to find Xiao Die, so An Zui decided to start from Heshen.

Fang Bancheng was very big, so many unknown things would happen in broad daylight as well.

However, An Zhe discovered that Fang Bancheng was a bit small because Hei Sen was taking An Zhe to a place where An Zhe happened to be the one that killed Su Feiyun.

That dilapidated courtyard was very, very spacious. Perhaps, a long time ago, there lived a glorious clan here.

As for why there was such a large and idle mansion in Fang Gengcheng, An Zhe intended to investigate it thoroughly after he returned.

Because this place seemed to be fated for him.

“”Up ahead, Young Master Ding is busy with some private matters.””

Hei Sen turned around and smiled at An Zhe. His smile was rather guilty.

By this point, there was no longer any need for An Zaiyue to continue pretending. Instead, he leapt over the wall.

Hei Sen was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself that this sheep that was about to enter the tiger’s den was actually so impatient.

Hei Sen jumped in and saw An Chou sitting on a rock not far away. Beside him was a red rank pill.

“”Essence Condensation Pill, peak red rank.””

An Zhan pointed at the pill and said, “”According to the medicinal effects, it belongs to the same family as the Origin Returning Pill, the Blizzard Origin Pill, and the Sacred Origin Pill.””

The Origin Returning Pill was of the lowest rank, a white grade pill. It was basically useless to cultivators above the Ascending Realm.

The Origin Condensation Pill could directly increase one small level by consuming it for a grade six and below.

“”Ascending to the seventh rank or above may not be as effective, but at the very least, it can provide great assistance when one breaks through.””

“”The Blizzard Yuan Pill is a Gold rank pill. It can allow a person of the ninth level of the Refinement Realm to smoothly pass the breakthrough period and smoothly enter the Xumi Realm.””

“”Sheng Yuan Pill is quite amazing. It’s a purple-rank pill. I don’t need to tell you what its medicinal effect is.””

He picked up the Energy Condensation Pill and casually tossed it to Hei Sen. “”You need it now right? You’re about to break through.””

Hei Sen’s expression changed drastically, but he still subconsciously held the pill in his hand.

Just as he was about to grab hold of the Energy Condensation Pill, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.

A mass of air silently exploded on his lower abdomen, sending him flying.

The Energy Condensation Pill flew out of his hand and was caught by An Zaiyue. “”You have to use a good bait to catch a big fish.””
