Chapter 1517 1512: You Can't Leave [First Update]
After Song Xiaotian explained everything, he used the remaining inner strength in his body to abruptly sever his own heart veins.A renowned boxing grandmaster of his generation ended his life in such a way.
Su Chen felt no sympathy for someone like Song Xiaotian, because there was no need to pity him. Regardless of right or wrong, his actions were disgraceful from a conscience and moral standpoint.
However, from his perspective, perhaps he had reasons to kill, but that was not enough justification to wipe out an entire family!
The gains from this trip were unexpectedly abundant for Su Chen, especially the value of the broken sword fragments, which made the journey worthwhile.
Additionally, he learned from Song Xiaotian about the location of an ancient weapon, though it had an owner, it seemed as if it were ownerless.
"Let's go back." Su Chen glanced at Tianyi Martial Arts School and spoke to Qi Xiaohu and the others.
At this moment, Chen Shuo and the others' respect and awe for Su Chen reached a new height.
With a wave of his hand, the fire sword appeared.
Even someone like He Xiaowei was reduced to ashes.
Chen Shuo could see the hope of unifying Jiangdu's Jianghu through Su Chen's power.
Could Red Aunt beat Lord Chen in a fight now?
Of course, Chen Shuo didn't dare to express his thoughts now.
Su Chen seemed to have made some deal with Red Aunt before; if he acted unwisely, he risked being seen as a troublemaking villain by Lord Chen.
"Wait a minute!" A clear and melodious voice came from Su Chen's side.
Su Chen looked toward the source of the sound.
"Hmm?"
The veiled Luo Ling stood up.
"Sir, you can't leave yet."
"You're trying to stop me?" Su Chen said indifferently.
"I wouldn't dare. I'm just a woman, how could I possibly stop someone as powerful as you?" Luo Ling referred to him as 'strong man,' not as a strong person.
'Strong man' can sometimes imply a rogue or bandit.
Luo Ling skillfully mocked Su Chen with a subtle jab.
Su Chen's lips curled slightly into an evil smile: "A strong man? If I really were to act like a rogue today, what would you do?"
Su Chen feigned reaching out toward Luo Ling.
A flicker of panic flashed in Luo Ling's eyes.
But she quickly composed herself.
Her eyes gazed steadily at Su Chen: "I don't think your taste would be so low as to bother with an unattractive woman like me."
Su Chen paused: "An unattractive woman? You?"
"Why else would I be veiled?" As if to bolster her claim, Luo Ling reached to remove her veil.
Unmoved, Su Chen's eyes did not miss a moment of the scene.
Ultimately, Luo Ling conceded.
"Sir, bullying a weak woman doesn't seem to match your status, does it?" Luo Ling said to Su Chen.
"When did I bully you? Talking requires evidence. Is looking at you bullying you? Even if I were to bully you, it wouldn't be here in public, would it?" Su Chen glanced at the people around the training ground.
Those who caught Su Chen's gaze all lowered their heads instinctively.
The shadow Su Chen had cast on everyone's hearts was too great.
Luo Ling bit her lip, suddenly at a loss for what to do.
Su Chen's eyes seemed to possess a soul-capturing magic power.
Luo Ling called out to Su Chen because he had promised Song Xiaotian to take care of Han Da, but if Su Chen left now, who would look after Han Da?
Surely it couldn't be her, right?
And as for Tianyi Martial Arts School, how could she, a woman, smoothly receive it from Song Xiaotian's designated disciples?
It had to depend on Su Chen!
Although Song Xiaotian hadn't directly asked Su Chen for this favor, his implication was clear, speaking not only to her but also to Su Chen.
Didn't Su Chen understand it?
No, Luo Ling didn't believe that. She thought Su Chen must have understood it.
But he was pretending not to understand!
Luo Ling suddenly regretted calling out to Su Chen.
"Why aren't you speaking? Or did I hit the nail on the head? Shall we find a quiet place where I can bully you?"
"Sir, please show some respect." Luo Ling suddenly mustered the courage.
"You promised Song Grandfather about Han Da, so you can't just walk away."
"And then?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
"There's also the matter of Tianyi Martial Arts School, you can't just abandon it!"
"If I remember correctly, Tianyi Martial Arts School was entrusted to you by Song Xiaotian, right?"
"But you must understand, I can't handle the transition of Tianyi Martial Arts School on my own." Luo Ling said anxiously.
"And why should I help you?" Su Chen countered.
"Because... because of the benefits Song Grandfather gave you! What he gave you is definitely worth more than its value, if you refuse to help, you'd be heartless!" Luo Ling retorted, annoyed.
"Fine, he previously said that his fourth disciple Zhu Li would take over, didn't he?"
"Yes."
As soon as Luo Ling finished speaking.
Su Chen released his saintly aura.
"From now on, Zhu Li, Song Xiaotian's fourth disciple, will assume leadership and become the new master of Tianyi Martial Arts School. If anyone objects, feel free to step forward, I'm open for a heart-to-heart talk."
Martial Arts School Disciples: "..."
Luo Ling: "..."
The second-generation young masters watching: "..."
Is this how you start a conversation?
Clearly, you are relying on force.
But one must admit, the method was highly effective.
Five minutes passed without anyone stepping forward to object. Isn't this an excellent outcome?
"See, didn't I solve the problem?" Su Chen withdrew his aura and turned to Luo Ling.
Luo Ling: "..."
"But you can't leave yet, Han Da's injury hasn't healed."
Han Da was kicked by Lin Jinyan, fortunately, it was a casual kick, not like a previous full-force kick aimed at Su Chen.
Even Su Chen's organs had struggled under such a kick; let alone Han Da, a martial artist of super extraordinary cultivation.
If it had hit him, Song Xiaotian would have had no posthumous affairs to entrust to Su Chen and the others.
The father and son could have gone to the netherworld together.
Yet, Han Da's injuries were still difficult to heal quickly.
With Luo Ling's medical skill, she could ensure Han Da would recover without any lingering effects.
But soon, Su Chen did something that left Luo Ling dumbfounded.
Su Chen approached Han Da, checked his pulse, and began treatment.
Using inner strength as a means of treatment, an approach Luo Ling had only heard of, but today she witnessed it!
Su Chen infused his inner strength into Han Da's body, helping him to mitigate the internal injuries caused by Lin Jinyan's kick to the chest.
