MEIWITA Chapter 738: Su Jin’s Life

Lou Mu Yan and her party found a hidden cave within a cave and entered to rest.

She dragged Su Jin and Ming Xiu into the innermost cave and crushed a soundproof array ball, but no one outside noticed.

“Senior Brother, when did you teleport to Guang’ling World?” Lou Mu Yan paused, then said: “Could it be that an error occurred with the spatial node again, so you didn’t ascend to the receiving platform.”

“Not long after you left, I reached Core Elemental Realm and ascended to Guang’ling World.”

Su Jin continued: “There’s no error in the spatial node, but I have a mark made by the Su Clan on by body. After appearing in Guang’ling World, I also landed on the territory of the Su Clan, so the news hasn’t been leaked.”

He already knew the identity of Ming Xiu and guessed that he might find someone to remain at the reception platform of the humans to check the news of their ascension.

“So that’s how it is.” Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows slightly, “Senior Brother, were those five people just now your siblings? I feel that you’re not close with them.”

“They’re my cousins, and I don’t have much of a relationship with them.” Su Jin didn’t have much emotion in his eyes, “This time they entered Cang’lan Secret Realm with me because I obtained a piece of the token before by chance.”

“The Su Clan didn’t win a token at the auction?” Ming Xiu asked suspiciously.

The Su Clan was very famous throughout the Central State Continent. Although their overall strength could only be ranked as a first-class force, but because their clan was a spiritual wine master clan and opened the Stream Reflection Restaurant, they barely managed to squeeze into the category of peak forces.

Spiritual wine masters were the most popular profession on the continent, and also represented unlimited personal networks, so few people dared to despise or offend the Su Clan.

After all, that group of old men from the Human Realm Alliance often asked the advanced-level spiritual wine masters to help brew spiritual wine. In addition to paying them, they also owed debts of personal favours at the same time.

No matter where Su Jin was, the sense of elegance and nobility on his body would be subconsciously revealed, “They won one, but gave it to the elite team of the Su Clan.”

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows and asked: “Senior Brother, are you really blood-related to the Su Clan?”

Seeing sadness quickly flash across Su Jin’s indifferent eyes, she added: “If Senior Brother finds it inconvenient, then you don’t need to speak about it.”

If the affairs of the Su Clan were unpleasant and painful to Su Jin, then she didn’t want to expose his scars.

Su Jin shook his head and said with a smile: “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. In my heart, only you and Master are the closest people.”

“Senior Brother’s also an important family member to me.” Lou Mu Yan had a firm expression on her face.

Su Jin took good care of her back on Tiang’ling Continent. After interacting and getting along, she also classified him as one of her own. He regarded her as a family, and she did the same.

“Do you know the Su Clan’s method of raising direct bloodlines?” Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s words, Su Jin’s eyes were filled with warmth.

“I know a bit. I heard that it’s the same as the Ming Palace Royal Clan, sending the bloodline of the direct descendants to the lower interface to raise.”

Lou Mu Yan said: “The pupils can return to the Clan if they could reach Core Elemental Realm and ascend to Guang’ling Realm, but if they don’t breakthrough and ascend, then they’d die of old age in the lower interface.

“Oh, I also heard that the Elders of the Su Clan will use a special method to seal the memories of the direct bloodline when they’re sent to the lower interface. Only when they ascend to Guang’ling World will they be affected by the interface and automatically break the seal.”

Su Jin nodded: “You sure know the details.”

“So Senior Brother is actually the direct bloodline of the Su Clan?” Lou Mu Yan discovered that her previous guesses seemed to be close to the truth.

“I’m the only son of the current Patriarch of the Su Clan. I was born with extraordinary talent and I’m the best among the younger generation tested in the Clan.” Su Jin cast his gaze into the distance and gradually fell into his memories.

“However, as you once said, the Heavens gave me extraordinary talent but a weak body. If the chronic illness I had wasn’t cured, I would never be able to become a spiritual wine master.

“The Su Clan hired a lot of advanced-level physicians and alchemists to treat me back then, but the conclusions they came to were that I wouldn’t be able to live past a hundred at most, and my cultivation would only reach maximum of Sword Deity. If I tried to breakthrough forcefully, I’d have more than fifty percent chance of dying.”

Hearing Su Jin say such words in a flat manner, Lou Mu Yan’s heart tightened.

Su Jin saw the heartache in her eyes, smiled, and patted her head, continuing: “The Su Clan has rules, all talented children of the direct bloodline will be sent to the lower interface to train and raise after the age of six.

“Of course, there were exceptions. For example, if their talent wasn’t good, or the direct bloodline can’t become a spiritual wine master, then they can be excluded, but they’d be sent to a remote city in the clan and those who were capable could return to the main clan.”

“Senior Brother has a congenital illness, so it’s reasonable to say that you don’t need to be sent to the lower interface. Was it on purpose by the superiors of the Su Clan?” Lou Mu Yan’s expression turned cold.

“Originally, it was inevitable to send me to the lower interface with my talent, but I had a congenital disease that made it impossible for me to become a spiritual wine master. So under normal circumstances, I’d be sent to the border towns to practice and train.”

A bit of ridicule rose in Su Jin’s eyes: “At the time, father had just succeeded as the Patriarch of the Clan not for long. He insisted on treating everyone equally in the clan, so he decided to send me to the lower interface.

“At the time, although I felt complicated, but I could understand.” He was often alone because of his congenital illness, and he liked to read books, so he was relatively more mature.

“I didn’t have any complaints, and I’ve always felt guilty that I dragged my parents’ reputation down.”

Then his focus shifted, and he said coldly: “But everything changed the day before the teleportation.

“That day, I was going to say goodbye to my parents but overheard their conversation.

“It turned out that treating everyone equally was just an excuse. As the Patriarch and the Patriarch’s wife of the Clan, how could they have a son who would shame them, a son that might halt at Sword Deity forever, and even with good medicine, he’d only live to be a hundred years old at most.

“A son who may never become a spiritual wine master.

“My mother was unable to give birth anymore after recovering from a serious injury.” He closed his eyes and continued in a slightly mocking tone: “So when I was two years old, they adopted a child who had strong talent as a spiritual wine master, known as the Fourth Young Master in the Su Clan, and also the current Su Clan’s Young Lord.

“I later found out that the reason why I was able to enter Patriarch Su’s courtyard without anyone announcing my presence was the ‘masterpiece’ of the Fourth Young Master who was five years older than me.”

“Didn’t the Patriarch and his wife of the Su Clan notice your aura when you entered the courtyard?” Ming Xiu asked suspiciously.

“Su Chen had a jade pendant bestowed by the Ancestor that could hide his aura. When I went to the courtyard, he temporarily lent it to me to wear and coaxed me to give my parents a surprise. At the time, I was too young and fell for it without thinking too much.” It was only after returning to Guang’ling World that Su Jin’s memory was unsealed, and he realised that Su Chen was such a deep schemer.

But he was also grateful for this, fortunate to have heard the conversation between the couple and learnt the truth.

Lou Mu Yan clenched her fists. She really had the urge to rush to the Su Clan to beat them all up to a pulp.

She thought for a while, then asked: “Senior Brother, that Su Chen couldn’t be the illegitimate son of that Patriarch father from outside could he?”
