Divine Throne of Primordial Blood - Volume 1 - Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Scheme

Perhaps because he was too exhausted, his sleep was extremely sweet . Su Chen began to dream . He dreamed that he had successfully entered the Hidden Dragon Institute and became the number one Heaven’s Chosen of Long Sang Country . With the support of his miraculous eyes, his progress was stunning . Afterwards, he obtained an ancient Origin Beast’s bloodline, and broke through all bottlenecks before becoming an expert, then marrying Gu Qingluo . Just when his life was the most happy, the beast wave arrived . Su Chen charged into battle and defeated the Beast Emperor, but very quickly he ran into an even more powerful and frightening Giant Beast .

That Giant Beast was the size of a small mountain . Every step it took shook the earth . It charged towards the human armies, and in one breath it blew away them all away like smoke . Su Chen expended great effort to battle it, but all he saw was two giant hands reaching for him from the horizon and grabbing him . Su Chen had no way of escaping them . He felt suffocated as he was being furiously shaken……

“Young Master, Young Master!” Mingshu shook Su Chen .

“Ah!” Su Chen instantly sat up and grabbed Mingshu’s throat .

“Young Master…… let go……” Mingshu arduously squeezed out, his eyes beginning to roll into the back of his head .

“Mingshu?” Su Chen hurriedly released his hand .

Mingshu massaged his throat as he retreated . “Young Master, you told me to come get you just to choke me to death?”

“Uhh . ” Su Chen regained clarity . “Sorry, I had a nightmare . ”

Then, he thought of something and asked Mingshu, “He arrived?”

Mingshu nodded his head . “Zhou Hong saw him at the city gate . He wasn’t riding a horse; he returned on foot . He appeared extremely pitiful, and his face was bruised . It looked like he had fallen into a ditch yesterday evening, and his clothing was also tattered . At this moment, he is still limping back to the palace, so it will be a while before he can return . ”

“Then that’s fine . What time is it right now?”

“Late afternoon . Mealtime just passed, but do you want to eat something first?”

“There’s no need . ” Su Chen silently praised Night Demon; he hadn’t expected that this dumb girl was actually pretty reliable . Indeed, he had returned in the afternoon, just as Su Chen had requested .

Su Chen got out of bed and after making himself presentable, he said, “Go call Jianxin for me and then wait for me at the palace entrance . When you see Zhang Song, do as I told you to do earlier today . ”

“Yes, sir . ” Mingshu left .

A moment later, Jianxin arrived . “What orders does Young Master have?”

“I want to go to the Virtuous Gift Residence . Come along with me . ”

“Hm?” Jianxin was instantly stunned .

The Virtuous Gift Residence was Su Keji’s residence . Why would Su Chen run there for seemingly no reason?

“I want to talk to Second Uncle,” Su Chen replied .

What is there to talk about between the two of you? Jianxin criticized silently, but he still agreed outwardly .

Virtuous Gift Residence .

Su Keji, as per usual, held onto his favorite Spring Flat Stone Jar made out of redsand and went to his backyard, lying down on a large rocking chair and beginning his afternoon rest . He didn’t forget to hum a few lines of Huang Ciyan’s “Treasure Pavilion” Aria .

An underling hurried in from outside . “Master, Fourth Young Master is asking to see you . ”

“Oh, what is it…… What did you say? Fourth Young Master?” Su Keji instantly sat up, gazing at his underling with shock .

“Yes, Fourth Young Master Su Chen is asking to meet you!” the underling repeated .

Su Chen? Why did he come to find me?

Su Keji couldn’t figure out what Su Chen was trying to do for quite some time .

After being stunned for a while, he waved his hand and said, “Let him come in . ”

A moment later, Su Chen and Jianxin appeared in Su Keji’s courtyard .

Su Chen clasped his hands towards Su Keji and said, “Nephew Su Chen greets Second Uncle . ”

Su Keji coldly watched Su Chen . “Tell me, why are you here?”

Su Chen laughed, “How can Second Uncle speak in such a way? Nephew is here specifically to visit Second Uncle . Do I need a special objective?”

Specifically here to visit me?

Su Keji quivered . He couldn’t help but look at the sky, in order to confirm that the sun had not arisen from the other side . His gaze first landed on Su Chen before moving to Jianxin .

Jianxin spread his hands out, indicating that he didn’t know what had possessed Su Chen today either .

Su Keji coldly harrumphed, “Visit me? Is it to see whether or not I died?”

Su Chen laughed . “Why does Second Uncle put it that way? No matter what, we are both members of the Su Clan . As members of the same clan, we should forgive each other . Why is it that we have become enemies as soon as we see each other?”

Su Keji laughed loudly . “Forgive each other? When you beat Su Qian, did you not think about whether or not he was a clan member?”

Su Chen sighed, “When Second Uncle racked his brains to change the testing method, did you not think of me as a clan member either?”

“Scoundrel!” Su Keji instantly stood up . “Su Chen, did you come here just to provoke me?”

“I just want to know if our hostility can be turned into friendship . ”

“So you came here to plead for mercy?”

“No, Second Uncle, I am asking for peace, not mercy . ”

“Peace? You and I have had no peace to speak of for a long time now!”

“Perhaps that is the case . After all, as a human I am still subject to fate . ”

Su Keji’s eyes squinted . “I understand . You came here today to intentionally let everyone think that it was you who sought peace, and it was me that didn’t agree . That way others would think that I was bullying you and creating internal conflict, right?”

Su Chen indifferently said, “However Second Uncle wants to interpret it is up to Second Uncle . If Second Uncle is unhappy, you can forcefully evict me from here . ”

“I won’t fall for your trap,” Su Keji harrumphed . “I will make Qian’er break your legs on the battle stage . At that time, no one will have any more words to say . ”

The uncle and nephew finally tore down any remaining vestiges of pretence, and all that remained was bitter hatred and cursing .

Su Chen didn’t get angry . Instead, he continued to exchange verbal blows with Su Keji . It seemed as if he wanted to thoroughly vent the grievances of the past few days .

Just as they were sparring verbally, a loud ruckus began to sound outside .

Su Keji unhappily said, “What happened outside?”

An underling came to report, “Master, Mingshu and Zhang Yuan began to fight over a small matter . ”

“Hmph, it seems that the slave takes after the owner . This Mingshu is quite a nuisance,” Su Keji angrily said .

“Who was right and who was wrong is not easy to say . Does Second Uncle want to appraise the situation with me?”

“Okay!” Su Keji strode out of the pavilion .

Outside, Mingshu and the servant known as Zhang Yuan were locked in a scuffle .

Su Keji walked out, angrily asking what was the matter . The two of them finally untangled themselves from each other . Zhang Yuan stood up, wearing a wronged expression . He said that he didn’t know why, but Mingshu had suddenly slammed into him as they were walking . Before he was even able to get angry, Mingshu had cursed him out . He wasn’t unable endure the insult and began to fight it out with him .

They were talking and arguing, but Su Chen’s attention was no longer present there . He was looking behind everyone .

A person entered the residence from outside .

Zhang Song!

He had finally returned, after Su Chen had arranged everything .

Upon seeing Zhang Song return, Su Chen suddenly said, “Jianxin . ”

“Young Master?”

“I think I forgot my fan in Second Uncle’s courtyard . Go help me find it . ”

“Yes, Young Master . ” Jianxin turned around and entered the courtyard .

“Make sure to search thoroughly and carefully,” Su Chen said, his words profound with meaning .

At the same time, Zhang Song had finally made contact with Su Keji .

Upon seeing Zhang Song, whom he had been expecting with the medicine, Su Keji evidently had no interest in this small matter anymore . He pulled Zhang Song into a side room and talked to him privately for a moment before receiving a box from Zhang Song . Upon opening it and making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he let out a sigh of relief, then grabbed the box and returned to his courtyard .

Upon seeing this scene, Su Chen’s mouth quirked upwards in a smile as he said, “Mingshu, let’s go . ”

Mingshu hurried over .

The servant named Zhang Yuan didn’t have any common sense . Upon seeing that the person who had bullied him was about to leave, he leapt over and said, “Fourth Young Master, this matter isn’t over yet . ”

Su Chen sent out a fist and sent him flying . “It’s over now . ”
