Chapter 3: The Past of the Chu Family
Castle Lord's Mansion.
"Father!Father!Uncle Zhang, where is my father?" Chu Xiaoke returned home with Shengtian, and couldn't wait to ask where Chu Su was.
Uncle Zhang stopped the broom and smiled lovingly: "Miss, you are back! ”
The two came to the door of the study, and Chu Xiaoke rushed in excitedly. "Father, I have something to tell you!"
"Xiao Ke, why didn't you come in without knocking on the door today, girls can't be so frizzy!" Chu Su closed the book and shook his head helplessly. Seeing that his baby girl was elated, and was about to ask, he suddenly saw Shengtian coming in, and then his eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is this? Didn't you say that outsiders are not allowed to enter my study!"
Chu Xiaoke hurriedly explained: "No, father, he was invited by me to help." ”
"Hmm, what help?" Chu Su looked at Shengtian, although the latter was dressed simply, his white face did not look like an ordinary child at all. And that temperament is very noble, which is unique to the children of the big family.
This kid, there's definitely something wrong!
Chu Xiaoke pulled Shengtian to Chu Su and happily introduced: "His name is Shengtian, he is a high-level magician, with his help, we will definitely be able to pass this review!"
Chu Su saw that the baby girl was so close to Shengtian, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and said, "Boy, what is your purpose!"
"Oh, I said I was passing by here, and I just happened to meet Ling Qianjin's request for help, do you believe it?" Shengtian was slightly unhappy, and he didn't even bother to say nice words. I only agreed to help for the sake of Xiao Ke's face, and you still show up with me? You deserve to be targeted!
Chu Xiao saw the situation and immediately panicked. Hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, you listen to my explanation." Holy Heaven ......"
Chu Su raised his hand to stop Chu Xiaoke from explaining, and said, "Boy, are you advanced?" Okay, follow me through two tricks, let me see how much water you have!"
When Chu Xiaoke heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Father, what are you doing! You are all at the peak of the master level, aren't you bullying Shengtian! Moreover, Shengtian is self-taught, you have been a master for a long time!"
"Self-study?heh, what a self-study!Boy!You come out with me!I want to see what you want to do!" Chu Su now believed that Shengtian approached his precious girl with a purpose, and decided to beat this kid first and then ask clearly.
"Father's ......"
"You give me a quiet! You have been helping him talk from just now now, what is the purpose of him approaching you, do you know!" Seeing that Chu Xiaoke was defending the Holy Heaven everywhere, Chu Su became even more angry.
Shengtian pursed his lips and said, "Okay, okay, the peak of the master is right, it just so happens that I also want to see the results of my cultivation." ”
"Heh, wait a minute, you'd better be so easy!"
The City Lord's Mansion had a martial arts training ground with a diameter of thirty meters, and Chu Su and Shengtian were each standing on one side, and the air was stuffy. Chu Su took out a fourth-level magic staff from the spatial ring, which could be said to be the standard configuration of a magic master.
Sheng Tian was stunned for a moment, and communicated with the Sacred Heart, which turned into a particularly gorgeous golden staff, which was held in Sheng Tian's hand. The staff's inner staff was filled with golden light, and the outer glow was golden and even the sun dimmed. Shengtian nodded with satisfaction, not bad!
The corners of Chu Su's mouth twitched, and when he looked at his staff, he was even more angry. "Boy, I'm going to teach you how to be a man today!"
I saw that the Chu Su Staff was a little above the Holy Heaven, and a four-meter-wide Xiaoice Mountain appeared out of thin air, pressing down fiercely on the Holy Heaven below. Sheng Tian still looked at the gorgeous staff in his hand with an intoxicated expression, and kept praising this and that, not caring about the iceberg above his head at all.
Just when the iceberg was less than half a meter away from the Holy Heaven, the Holy Heaven suddenly turned into a golden light and rushed forward three meters, just avoiding the top of the iceberg. This is the first form of the Holy Light Step that comes with the Holy Light Marksmanship in the Heavenly Divine Technique-Swimming Light, which is like a wandering light, and the speed is extremely fast.
Chu Xiaoke reminded Shengtian in a panic, and only halfway through his words, he opened his mouth incredibly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Shengtian's beautiful pupils with brilliance.
That's amazing!
Chu Su was also stunned for a moment, and the staff that did not believe in evil moved forward again. "I'll see how you dodge this time, Ice Prism Sword Formation!"
Countless ice edges formed in front of Chu Su's staff, and then spread out and swept most of the martial arts training ground in front of them. This is a fourth-order primary magic, and Chu Su can do it instantly, which shows that his strength as a magic master is worthy of the peak. You must know that even if you are at the peak of a master, you may not be able to send out fourth-order primary magic, and if you want to reach this level, you have to touch the realm of the grandmaster-level threshold, which can be said to be a half-step grandmaster.
Seeing this, Sheng Tian also frowned slightly, and his eyes became sharp. His staff shook to the ground, and a light shield appeared to protect him.
"Holy Shield!"
This is a spiritual technique created by the Sacred Heart, mortal level, suitable for the realm below the Venerable level. Since the Sacred Heart didn't have any low-level spiritual arts, it had to create its own.
The ice edge hit the Holy Light Shield, causing the Holy Light Mask to vibrate, but that was all. The Holy Light Shield is still very strong, and it is still possible to use the current cultivation of the Holy Heaven to block the master's attack.
When Bing Ling stopped, Chu Su's second magic had already finished chanting.
"Rock Ice Spike!"
Ice spikes several meters high stabbed out from the ground in front of Chu Su, and the range gradually expanded, covering most of the martial arts training ground in the blink of an eye, rushing towards the Holy Heaven. This is a fourth-order intermediate magic, and the Holy Light Shield that has already been consumed for a round can't be stopped.
"Damn! Can you still be so awesome!, is there any mistake!" Sheng Tian screamed strangely, and turned into a ray of light and shadow and rushed towards the left rear, narrowly avoiding the attack of the ice spikes. Just when he was relieved, Chu Su's third magic had also been completed.
"Strangled the tornado!"
A huge tornado appeared in the place where the Holy Heaven was, mixed with ice ridges to strangle the Holy Heaven trapped in it. This is the fourth-level high-level magic, Chu Su's strongest magic!
"Ahh However, a wall of ice suddenly blocked her in front of her, and then three other directions of her were blocked by the ice wall, trapping her inside. She looked desperately at the tornado that was still stirring, knelt on the ground against the ice wall, and cried bitterly: "Don't, don't! He's going to die! He's going to die! Woo, he's going to die......"
"Xiao Ke, I'm fine!" came the voice of the Holy Heaven from the tornado, and then a ray of light pierced the tornado, only to tear the tornado open, and a light and shadow rushed out of it.
The clothes on Shengtian's body were cut by ice edges in several places, revealing the skin inside, but those places were only a shallow scar on the surface of the skin, and there was no blood, just skin trauma.
"How is it possible!" Chu Su couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this, he knew very well how powerful his magic was, even if it was a martial arts master who couldn't carry it with his body alone, he had to use defensive martial arts. But Shengtian's appearance seems to have been carried down with his body!
Chu Xiao could see that Shengtian was fine, his hands covered his mouth, and his cry became louder, but without the desperate hoarse voice before, it sounded more like joy.
The staff in Shengtian's hand had turned into a spear, a golden spear, the body of the spear was flowing with golden light, and the blade was very sharp, revealing a trace of cold light. He stood proudly with his gun, and said unhappily: "The city lord must be too serious about dealing with me as a high-level magician!" He originally thought that Chu Su just wanted to teach himself a lesson because he saw that he was too close to his precious girl, but he didn't expect the other party to actually kill him. If it weren't for the Sacred Heart, which was an artifact that blocked some of the damage for him, he would have been cold in it by now.
Chu Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "You're not a magician at all, are you!"
"Haha, guess!" Sheng Tian held the gun and instantly stabbed dozens of spear shadows forward, and suddenly dozens of golden lights shot towards Chu Su.
"Qianmang!"
Chu Su panicked slightly, and in front of the staff, a thick ice shield was instantly formed. But the light was so penetrating that the ice shield was pierced after only a second. Chu Su's reaction was surprisingly fast, and he dodged the light thorn with a single turn.
Shengtian stepped on the holy light step and appeared in front of Chu Su in an instant, and the spear in his hand shook, and instantly stabbed dozens of shots at Chu Su. Chu Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and the staff instantly pointed forward dozens of times to block the Shengtian's combo. But he was also shocked and retreated several meters repeatedly, and his right hand holding the staff trembled.
"Hmm, do you have an old injury?" Sheng Tian stopped his attack and said, "Are you a demon martial dual cultivator?" Sheng Tian was surprised, he was originally going to leave a bloody hole on Chu Su's body, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually be able to martial arts!
Chu Su was constantly wheezing, his breath was unstable, and the ice walls that blocked Chu Xiaoke could not continue to be broken into ice slag. Chu Xiaoke immediately ran over to support Chu Su, and asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?"
Chu Su took a few breaths, looked at Shengtian with sharp eyes, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What is the purpose of your approaching Xiao Ke!"
Sheng Tian sighed and shook his head, and said, "City Lord, I really don't have any purpose, I have just come to the city, and I have been cultivating in the mountains and forests before. Well, if I have to say, does it count if I'm attracted to Xiao Ke's beauty? Man, you know. ”
When Chu Xiaoke heard this, his cheeks flushed, and he said shyly: "What are you talking about!"
Chu Su kept staring at Shengtian's eyes, and seeing that Shengtian was not lying, his expression softened slightly.
Seeing that Chu Su was so nervous, Sheng Tian couldn't help but ask, "Is there something unspeakable?"
"Well, come to my study. Chu Su shook his head and walked towards the study.
Chu Su sat at the desk and pondered for a long time, and said, "I can see that Xiao Ke likes you very much, so, can I trust you?"
"Father......" Chu Xiaoke's cheeks were flushed when he heard this, and he was shy.
Shengtian glanced at Chu Xiaoke, smiled dotingly in his eyes, and said, "I already know Xiao Ke's heart, I have no reason not to accept everything from her." ”
Chu Xiaoke raised his head and looked at Shengtian with emotion, if it weren't for Chu Su's presence, it is estimated that he would have rushed into Shengtian's arms. Chu Su also saw the emotion of wanting to care for him from Shengtian's eyes, and the trace of uneasiness in his heart finally disappeared.
"Hmm...... This matter has to start with Xiao Ke's mother. ”
Chu Xiaoke looked at Chu Su in surprise when he heard this, and listened carefully to Chu Su's speech. She knew that Chu Su was originally a martial artist, but for some reason she could no longer practice martial arts, so she switched to magic. She had never seen her mother, and she had never seen Chu Su mention it, which was what she had always wanted to know, but Chu Su would talk about it today.
"I was originally a member of the Chu family, one of the four major families of the empire, and I am a rare genius of the Chu family in a hundred years! I was even recruited by the royal family as a concubine and married to the second princess Bai Xin. Speaking of this, Chu Su's mood also rose. But then he sighed again, and said with a decadent expression: "But the good times didn't last long, and I was excluded and targeted by other powerful people who were too dazzling. That night, I will never forget it in my life!" Chu Su suddenly became angry, and there was infinite resentment in his voice: "That night, my 'good brother' Zhao Xian invited me to the first restaurant in the imperial capital 'Baiyun Pavilion' to celebrate my advancement to the Martial Venerable and become one of the few twenty-five-year-old Martial Venerable on the mainland. However, that dignified and well-dressed beast actually stunned me with a drug specifically aimed at cultivators, put me and a woman in the rest room of the restaurant, and then tricked Xin'er into coming......" Speaking of this, Chu Su's teeth clucked, and his fists turned white. But then he lowered his head and said weakly: "Xin'er woke us up angrily when she saw it, that woman was actually stunned, and when she woke up, she thought I had ...... her And Xin'er was even more angry, saying that our husband and wife relationship would be severed from now on. This matter was deliberately spread to the entire imperial capital by people with intentions, and I was judged to be ashamed of the imperial capital. My family had to disown me, and the royal family was to condemn me to death to bring the royal family to shame. But Xin'er finally couldn't bear it, and pleaded with His Majesty, so that I was saved from death, but I was deposed and degraded to the lord of this border city. And Xiao Ke, who is still in infancy, is also regarded by the royal family as the daughter of a sinner, and is raised by me, and is not allowed to set foot in the imperial capital for half a step for life. ”
"Father!" Chu Xiaoke was already wet with tears at this time, snuggled into Chu Su's arms, and kept sobbing. Although Chu Su was very strict with her, she knew that it was because Chu Su loved her. She has always wanted to know what caused her father's cultivation to be abolished, and she has always wanted to know why she didn't have a mother since she was a child, it turned out to be ......
Shengtian looked at Chu Xiaoke with pity, and the care in his heart continued to rise.
"Now, you understand what it means to be with Xiao Ke, right?"
Shengtian's eyes became sharp, and he said word by word: "For her, I can do anything!"
Chu Su lowered his head and stroked Chu Xiaoke's hair, his eyes full of pampering. "It's okay for me to lose everything, but I just want Xiao Ke to live happily without any burden. You are very talented, and I also see hope in your determination, the power of this world is the right to speak, so, please!" Chu Su could see that Chu Xiaoke liked Shengtian very much, and this was the first time he had seen Chu Xiaoke be so protective of a boy of the same age.
"My father-in-law's enemy is my enemy, and if he is my enemy, I will make him regret coming to this world! In the same way, my father-in-law's wish is my wish, and if the heavens do not obey me, I will destroy the heavens!"
Chu Su smiled with relief, of course, it was a smile or not. "You guys go out first, I want to be alone for a while. ”
Sheng Tian helped Chu Xiaoke out of the study, Chu Su walked to the window, looked at the far north, and muttered: "At the same age as Xiao Ke, he has reached the peak of his advanced level by self-study, and he can be invincible in the face of the opponent of a half-step grandmaster." If there are enough resources to support it, what is the difficulty of becoming a Venerable at the age of twenty-five? At that time, maybe even the Holy One will not be able to help him! Zhao Xian, accept the retribution!"
