This was a huge blow to Su Zimo. It completely changed the way he looked at this world. There is something eternal in this world. With their strength, any immortal being could be at the top of the country, regardless of their backers, the Iridescent Clouds Palace.
To Su Zimo, there was no harm in losing his scientific merit. But Zhui Feng was his friend from a young age. It was more than a horse to him, it was his closest relative.
Not long after, Su Zimo arrived at his mansion.
This mansion is small and quiet. There are only a few rooms. Her older brother Su Hong rewarded her with this mansion when she passed her college exam at the age of 12.
Su Zimo carried Zhui Feng's ashes and buried them beside the peach tree in the middle of the courtyard.
Zhui Feng, I planted my own peach blossom tree. It will accompany you in the future. There will be a day where I will pour Cang Lang's Enhanced blood on your ashes!
Su Zimo's eyes turned red. He stood by the peach tree quietly for a long time before he turned to leave.
Su Zimo looked at someone as she turned to leave.
It was a blood red-robed woman. She's gorgeous. He's not flirtatious or tacky. He doesn't put on makeup. He looked like someone who had just come out of a painting.
Su Zimo sighed. As the old saying goes, she was naturally beautiful, looking like hibiscus emerging from clear water.
Despite having an extraordinary beauty free from worldly attention, she wore a long, blood-red robe. It didn't seem to match, but its contrast created a unique aura about him.
Two years ago, Su Zimo returned home to find an unconscious woman near the Cang Lang mountains. He was worried that he would be eaten by a savage beast and so he brought it back with him.
The red-robed lady regained consciousness not long after she reached the mansion. He looks fine. However, she refused to say a word no matter how Su Zimo asked about her name or place of residence.
The red-robed lady had lived here for two years, and Su Zimo had never tried to evict her.
There are no servants in the mansion. Su Zimo was not used to waiting. He takes care of three meals a day.
To him, it was meaningless to have one more person in the mansion. All he needed to do was prepare another portion of food.
In the past two years, every time Su Zimo prepared a meal, he would bring one portion to the red-robed lady. He would put food outside his room, knock on the door and leave.
The red-robed lady rarely appeared, and Su Zimo had never seen her come out of the mansion. The two had never even had a proper conversation before.
The Su Family and Ping Yang City were unaware of his whereabouts.
The woman's name was Die Yue. He's closed and a man who doesn't talk much. That was all that Su Zimo knew about him.
Su Zimo did not know since when Die Yue was standing behind him. However, it seemed strange the way Die Yue looked at him today. He could not express it with words.
Su Zimo nodded towards him and returned to his room.
Both have become accustomed to this form of greeting in the past two years. Moreover, Su Zimo knew that even though she spoke to him, Die Yue would ignore him.
Su Zimo closed the door, and took out a sharp knife with a one-foot-long handle from the corner. It's rusted. It seems to have been unused for a long time.
Su Zimo searched around before taking out the grindstone. He looked solemn as he splashed water on it. There was a cold look in his eyes as he sharpened the blade.
After a while, Su Zimo seemed to think of something. He pushed the door open and looked at Die Yue who was in the courtyard. Miss Die Yue, rest early today. You should not leave your room if you hear any noise tonight.
Die Yue did not comment, she remained cold and aloof.
Su Zimo inevitably had a strange idea inside his head.
Die Yue who was right in front of him resembled an immortal being in terms of his temperament and the way he behaved. He is graceful and transcends worldly attention, indifferent to everything around him. True immortality will never anger and hurt people just because humans refuse to kneel before them.
Of course, this was just his mind. Su Zimo did not think too much about it.
Su Zimo brought a bottle of wine from the basement in the courtyard. He cleaned up the mud and deliberately spilled the thick wine on his way back to his room.
Upon reaching the door, Su Zimo removed the wine jar and it broke onto the floor. Wine spilled all over the floor, giving off a strong smell.
Die Yue watched the entire scene. There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
Su Zimo walked into the room but did not close the door tightly, leaving it unlocked.
Su Zimo went to the corner and continued sharpening his knife.
It was destined to be a mess tonight.
Su Zimo waited.
He's waiting for someone…
…
The dark night has come.
A sly figure followed along the wall and sneaked into Su Zimo's house.
He made quite a commotion when he landed on the floor. The dark figure rushed to the corner dexterously.
The dark figure waited for a while in the corner. The courtyard looked silent and there was not the slightest abnormality. The dark figure finally stood up and took out a dagger from his waist. Cold daggers glittered in the dark.
Through the sheen of the dagger, one could vaguely tell that it was Zhou Dingyun who joined the immortal sect with Shen Mengqi!
Zhou Dingyun was the one who took revenge for the smallest grievance. Initially, he was wary of the Su and Su Zimo family who had scientific awards.
Now that Su Zimo was reduced to a lower ordinary person, while he had joined the immortal sect, soaring to new heights, he would not let Su Zimo leave so easily.
Moreover, he would kill Su Zimo without anyone knowing tonight and leave Ping Yang City with Cang Lang Enhanced tomorrow.
Even if the Su family were to realize the killing, they would not dare to make trouble, otherwise, the Enhanced Cang Lang could exterminate their entire family when enraged.
Zhou Dingyun was not very skilled unless she was strong and had physical strength. He believed that it would be easy to take down a weak scholar.
He stepped carefully and smelled a strong aroma of wine. He swept his gaze into the courtyard and noticed that there was a bottle of broken wine in front of one of the rooms.
“Ha ha.” Zhou Dingyun was calm. He grins. Indeed, you have never experienced a setback before and decided to drown the sorrow in the wine. You must be drunk hard right now. That nice. I'll cut your hand and foot tendons and take the time to torture you!
Zhou Dingyun walked haughtily to the door of the room. The room was not locked. He peeked through the door and saw that it seemed like someone was lying on the bed. But the light was weak, therefore he could not see clearly.
Zhou Dingyun did not stop to think but pushed the door open with a menacing expression on her face, running into the room.
There was a stronger smell of wine in the room. Zhou Dingyun's
As he was about to reach the bed, a shadow came out from behind the door like a ghost.
And suddenly!
There was a cold light in the darkness. Zhou Dingyun had yet to react and she could feel a cold touch on her neck. It was thorny and there was a cold voice next to his ears.
“Move and I will kill you!”
Zhou Dingyun felt a chill on her back. He shakes all over his body.
He might be physically strong, but Zhou Dingyun was unable to exert any strength.
He knew very well that the thing around his neck was a sharp weapon, which could easily pierce through his throat.
“A-who are you?”
Zhou Dingyun panicked, feeling her throat pierced, and warm liquid flowing from her neck to her chest.
That feeling is scary!
It was as if his life was drained bit by bit but there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, someone pulled Zhou Dingyun's hair forcefully and jerked her backwards!
There was a tearing pain in his scalp. It felt as if it was almost ripped from his head!
“Ah!”
Zhou Dingyun screamed in pain.
Zhou Dingyun's legs were limp and she fell to her knees due to the severe pain and life-threatening knife on her neck.
Zhou Dingyun had never felt so close to death.
“Try to see who I am.” The person behind him spoke again. It was cold and terrifying, as if that person was a ghost from hell, seeking his life.
Zhou Dingyun raised her head back with a strange posture, widening her eyes to look up.
One look at that person and Zhou Dingyun were struck by terror.
In the darkness, Su Zimo did not have the scientific aura of a scholar. His expression was grim and menacing. His eyes were sharp and terrifying. The expression in his eyes was colder than the sharp blade in his hand!
At this moment, Zhou Dingyun could feel Su Zimo's determination and strong intention to kill.
“Oh no! Now that Su Zimo had lost his scientific honor and was reduced to a lesser commoner, he seriously wanted to kill me!
No, I joined the immortal sect. I can't die!
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Zhou Dingyun's mind in that split second. They all turned into a strong desire to survive.
Zhou Dingyun trembled. Y-you can't kill me. If others find out, you can't escape death
“Hehe.”
Su Zimo smiled. My life is worthless. I want to make someone die with me. You're really unlucky to come looking for me. You don't have to blame me.
To Zhou Dingyun, Su Zimo's smile in the darkness seemed extremely frightening.
Zhou Dingyun felt even more afraid of his calm and indifferent tone.
“Crazy, crazy Su Zimo!”
He had just shouted when Zhou Dingyun felt a slight sharp knife move in her throat.
Zhou Dingyun was mentally disturbed due to the throbbing pain in her throat.
S-Both Young Master Su, I implore you to forgive my cheap life. I will never commit a crime in the future.
Second Young Master Su, I swear even if I am lucky enough to join the immortal sect, I will never take revenge on you. Otherwise, I would have suffered a painful death where countless arrows pierced through my heart.
Su Zimo was silent. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Dingyun.
Zhou Dingyun grew increasingly panicked due to the deadly silence.
Zhou Dingyun did not know what Su Zimo had in mind.
Time pass. Just when Zhou Dingyun was about to despair, the grip on her scalp loosened and the sharp knife on her neck was lifted slowly.
“Ennyah.”
Su Zimo said coldly.
To Zhou Dingyun, that word sounded like an immortal voice. He felt as if he was being forgiven. He crawled and rolled, escaping from the room.
Zhou Dingyun covered the wound on her neck with her hands and ran to the courtyard, panting.
After escaping death, Zhou Dingyun gritted her teeth and had evil thoughts again.
Su Zimo was after all a scholar. Previously he had been prepared, but at this moment, he would not have a chance to survive.
There was a murderous look in Zhou Dingyun's eyes. He could not help but turn to look towards the room.
Su Zimo stood in the doorway. He was dressed in green clothes, with a sharp knife that had a one-foot-long handle on his right hand. His eyes were cold, he looked like a tiger capable of devouring humans. There was a murderous aura about him!
There was a sense of ridicule in his expression, he seemed to have seen through Zhou Dingyun.
Zhou Dingyun's evil thoughts disappeared instantly.
Zhou Dingyun did not know how deep the wound on his neck was, and she did not know if Su Zimo had any other tricks up his sleeve. No matter what, he would not take any more risks.
Revenge is the most delicious dish served cold.
With that, Zhou Dingyun immediately fled the mansion.
