Chapter 848: Benevolent Father And Filial Son (3)

Chapter 848: Benevolent Father And Filial Son (3)

Su Long gave Su Yu another slap and regretfully said, "What an unfilial son. I thought you already got yourself two wives. That way, it will be fine if you die so long as you leave some descendants behind. But you're still single? Don't you feel sorry?"

Su Yu had the urge to roll his eyes. He did not feel sorry at all. So what if he was single? Seriously!

Su Long gave him another slap and asked, "Is life difficult outside? Is Great Ming really good toward you or are they faking it? If they're faking it, just find a chance to run away. I heard that Great Qin is recruiting as well. You might need to work harder there, but nobody dares to provoke Great Qin King."

Su Yu said, "It's fine. They're treating me well. Don't worry."

Su Long nodded, "Is anyone monitoring me?"

"Yeah, but it's not that bad. It's only a Sunmoon and several Mountainseas. I thought there would be several Sunmoons, but I was wrong."

Su Yu nonchalantly said, "This is lower than my expectation, but Great Xia is still taking your security seriously. Of course, I only know about those who are here. I don't know if there are more of them further away. Maybe there are more, but they don't have the courage to extend their senses here. After all, I'm now a person of status. If they offend me with excessive prying, I can make life difficult for them."

Pa!

After giving Su Yu yet another slap, Su Long said, "You're getting very cocky nowadays, aren't you? Are you saying that I'm garbage and deserve to be under constant monitoring? Would I be in so much trouble if it wasn't for you, you son of a turtle?"

Su Yu remained silent. If he was the son of a turtle...well, he probably shouldn't say what he thought about that.

After a while, Su Long sighed and said, "When are you taking me away? This damn place is not a good place for me to stay. The moment the Xia Family decides to turn against you, they can easily take me hostage and get you under control."

"You can stay for now. When I have enough strength, I'll come for you. Leaving now might cause some trouble. I also need to do something else for now."

"Fine." Su Long nodded and said, "If you need to do something dangerous, you can let Little Chen do it for you. No matter what, he's a Mountainsea. He is probably good enough to run some minor errands for you. If he's not good enough, there are experts in the Devil Subduing Army as well. He has a lot of respect so you can get him to solicit more help from those experts."

With him being mentioned again, Chen Long was forced to stop acting like he wasn't there so he said, "Yeah. You can look for me if you need any help."

Su Yu said directly, "Forget it. Uncle Chen is too weak. It's better for him to stay away from my affairs."

"..."

Holy shit! Chen Long felt like punching someone in the face. Him? Too weak? Was he weak? He was a genius Mountainsea of the arrmy! This damn kid was only a Cloudbreach! Why was he so cocky?

Su Yu smiled and didn't bother explaining himself. He didn't want Chen Long to get involved in his affairs. And he was speaking the truth. Was a Mountainsea very strong?

Was a second or third stage Mountainsea really so strong? Sure, that was pretty strong. But the problems plaguing could not be resolved by a mere Mountainsea. Even a Sunmoon like Hong Tan was slowly sinking into despair because of these problems. Thus, it was better for Chen Long to not get involved in the first place.

Su Long sighed, "Yeah. Little Chen is indeed a tad bit too weak. What a pity."

Chen Long stared at the two. Screw them! One was a Skysoar while the other was a Cloudbreach. Why were they saying that about him? He was confident he could defeat ten of them alone!

Suddenly, Su Yu said, "It's not too late for you to start cultivating something better now. But I'm worried that the rapid growth will cast some suspicion on you. Hmm...Maybe you can try to cultivate slowly after I leave this place."

He then took out a pile of items.

"I have ten thousand drops of source qi liquid here. Just use them as required.

"These are earthly source fruits. They can help with acupoint opening. They are quite redundant since I have better treasures to open acupoints.

"These are all heaven-grade cultivation methods. Just cultivate whichever you want. In truth, the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art alone is enough.

"This is a body forging art that can forge your body thirty-six times. It is quite difficult to cultivate, but it's fine. I have some heavenly source qi here. You can use it for your body forging. It is much more effective than the blood essence of divines and devils."

"..."

Instantly, Su Yu took out a bunch of treasures, including some heavenly source qi. He did not give them an exact number of items he had taken out. He covered everything in layers of shadow barriers. He was worried that Chen Long would get greedy and do something stupid after seeing what exactly he was giving to Su Long.

These things were simply too valuable.

Su Yu continued, "This is an early profound martial weapon. This is a middle profound weapon. This is a high profound weapon. This is a peak profound weapon...

"This is a set of early profound armor. It isn't too good. But I also have a set of peak profound armor. I will give it to you later, but don't expose it in public since some people are aware that I'm the owner of that set.

"This is a Mountainsea talisman. You can toss it out if you encounter any trouble. It can't kill a Mountainsea, but it can delay a Mountainsea for a short moment.

"This is a merit card with a hundred thousand merit points. Keep it with you. You can use it for any emergencies.

"These are support talismans. There are speed enhancement, healing, strength enhancement...and other talismans among them. Take them all."

"..."

He introduced the functions of numerous items to his father before putting them all back into a storage ring. He then passed the ring to his father and said, "Take this. Keep it hidden instead of wearing it on your finger. Don't show it to anyone. You can consider hiding it on your private part to be safe.

"Also, don't use any of them for now since some people are monitoring you. I'll try to...wait, forget it. They are here to protect you. Just start using them after I leave. It will be fine."

"..."

Su Long nodded. He had a calm expression, but inwardly, he was greatly shocked. But as the father, he had to maintain his calm. Meanwhile, Chen Long's mouth was wide agape.

Holy shit!

How fucking rich was this kid? All these things together were probably worth hundreds of thousands of merit points!

After spending his entire life on the battlefield, he hadn't even seen a card with a hundred thousand merit points in it. He felt like his horizons had expanded after seeing just how rich a person could be.

Su Yu was still quite worried. He looked at Chen Long and smiled, "Uncle Chen, I have some gifts for you as well. Don't mind them. They're not that valuable. If my dad remains safe until the day I take him away, I will be very thankful. A few hundred thousand merit points are nothing to me. I'm never stingy when I need to spend money."

Chen Long frowned, and Su Long gave Su Yu a slap. He said, "Are you doubting your father's eyes? It will be fine."

Su Yu smiled and said nothing.

Su Long said, "It's good to be cautious. Making threats and promises when needed is also not a bad thing. But you can't only talk about the benefits. You need to make the threat clear as well. For example, say that you will crush him with only a finger if I die or something like that."

"Big Brother!" Chen Long felt very helpless. At this point, he could no longer continue acting clueless. He said, "Nephew, this...is really very shocking for me. I've never expected that you would visit your father with this identity."

Su Yu asked, "Did Great Qin King send you to me?"

Chen Long was stunned. After a while, he nodded, "Yeah. I was in the middle of an award ceremony when he suddenly said that I was allowed to recruit a pseudo earth weaponsmith due to my great contributions."

"So he's aware that I'm here." Su Yu exhaled and said, "I hope that's not a bad thing. Whatever. I'll leave everything to fate. He has probably expected me to meet my father with this arrangement of his. An Invincible is indeed different. With one look, he was able to see so many things."

Chen Long nodded in agreement. Since it was a visitor from Great Ming, he would most definitely look for Su Long. Even if he didn't bring Su Long over, Su Yu would still find a way to meet Su Long through him.

At that thought, Chen Long exclaimed, "Invincibles are indeed terrifying."

Su Long said, "Do you have a ruin? Why don't you give it to Great Qin King for protection?"

He didn't care about something like a ruin. For him, the life of his son was more important. If needed, they should give up on the ruin for safety.

Su Yu smiled, "Yes, but I have yet to dig it out. Great Xia is occupying the place. It's right under my bed. I'll find a chance to dig it out one day."

Su Long blanked out. After a long while, he said, "Isn’t our house on the third floor?"

Their house was directly above a different house.

"Father, you don't understand. Have you heard of the saying that a world is contained within every speck of dust?"

Pa!

Su Long gave his son yet another slap. "Have you learned to talk back to your father now?"

How dare his son talk back to him?

Su Yu was feeling very gloomy. Nobody had ever beaten him like that. How dare a mere 36-acupoint Skysoar hit him? With one punch--fine, fine. Whatever. It didn't hurt. In fact, he wondered if his father's hand would hurt after hitting him.

No matter what, he had completed eleven body forgings while his father had yet to complete even one body forging. At that moment, their gazes met. Su Long stealthily rubbed his hand. Holy shit. Why was this little rascal's head so tough?

In truth, he was quite happy to see his son standing safely in front of him. He only gave his son a few slaps to ensure himself that this was real. Well, from the pain in his hand, this was very real. His hand was starting to bruise.

"Dad, how did you recognize me?"

Su Yu couldn't resist asking. Was his disguise not good enough?

"I would recognize you even if you turned into ash."

Su Long hurriedly spat after saying that. Why was he saying something so inauspicious? He had barely stopped talking when Su Yu turned into a puddle of water and asked, "Dad, can you still recognize me?"

"..."

Chen Long couldn't resist and laughed. Holy shit. Were these two conducting a comedy show?

"You—"

Su Long was stunned. Was his son messing with him? How the fuck was he supposed to recognize the kid like this? What in the world was this?

A short while later, Su Yu returned to Cui Lang's appearance. He looked smug and contended. Hah! His father couldn't recognize him, right? His father should learn to stop bluffing. Recognize him even as ash? Bullshit.

Both of them were actually very excited and emotional due to this reunion, but they were both suppressing their emotions. Su Yu's fooling around and Su Long's endless vulgarities were all for the sake of venting their emotions.

It had been over a year. Both of them had experienced way too much. They had been saddened by their separation. They had also been worrying about each other. After over a year apart, they were finally reunited.

No words could describe the joy in their hearts. And no words could even begin to describe the pain they had endured before this. They were finally reunited, but they couldn't even stay together for long.

The moment Su Yu said that he needed to leave and do something, Su Long knew that his son couldn't stay here with him. Before long, his son would be separated from him again.

He wanted to give his son some advice, but he didn't know what to say. He was worried and sad, and all his emotions were released through those slaps on his familiar yet unfamiliar son.

This person gave him the familiar feeling of his son, but he also had the appearance of an unfamiliar person. When would they be able to openly meet each other?

Su Long had no answer. Only sadness filled his heart. His child...was now an adult.
