This was the first meeting between Su Zimo and the City Lord of Cang Lang City.
It was extremely difficult to read the City Lord's mind just by looking into his eyes. He was expressionless and seemed to be very deep and cunning.
Luo Tianwu also assessed Su Zimo at the same time.
His first impression of Su Zimo was a cultured and polite man; no different from other scholars.
If he did not know in advance much of Su Zimo's deeds in Ping Yang City, it was extremely difficult for Luo Tianwu to imagine that those weak-looking and weak-looking scholars could actually subdue two great family clans!
Immediately after, he sensed that Su Zimo was mysterious and unfathomable!
The gazes of both sides collided in the air. Immediately after, Luo Tianwu revealed a smile first. He said in a loud and clear voice, I have long heard of the famous Second Young Master Su. We finally met today. Please sit.”
From the side, a hunchbacked old servant wearing a gray robe walked over. Grey-haired, she has a thin face and cloudy eyes. He brought a chair and placed it carefully in front of Su Zimo.
Su Zimo's gaze looked relaxed as he swept over the old servant. He refused and sat down immediately.
Luo Tianwu was very polite to her. However, there are more and more cases of this and it is becoming increasingly clear that this meeting is not that simple.
There must be something going on when things happen out of the ordinary.
What is the status, power, and prestige of a City Lord?
Luo Tianwu had never invited Su Zimo when the latter obtained a scientific award before, let alone his current lower status.
The gray-robed old servant stood beside Su Zimo and filled a cup of tea for Su Zimo respectfully.
Su Zimo's mind was deep as he stared intently at the gray-robed old servant. With an invisible smile, he said, You serve me tea. It must be heavy for you.
The gray-robed old servant paused for a moment. He placed the teapot on the table without any expression. After which, he retreated to stand behind Luo Tianwu and did not say a word.
After hearing this, a beam of light flashed in Luo Tianwu's eyes but disappeared after a while.
Su Zimo's words seemed to be unintentional but the others were unsure of the implied meaning.
He could mock himself for his lower status or pity the gray-robed old servant due to his old age.
Of course, there is another possibility. This boy had seen through the identity of the Qi Refinement Warrior of this old servant who was wearing shabby and gray clothes!
“This person ... is not easy to deal with.”
Luo Tianwu furrowed his brows silently.
The gray-robed old servant hid herself very well. However, he could not deceive the spirit perception Su Zimo had gained through his near-death experience.
Without a word, Su Zimo raised his teacup and sipped the tea casually.
Luo Tianwu was silent as well. The tip of his finger tapped on the table neither lightly nor loudly.
About eight minutes passed…
The stillness of the pin-drop in the room was frightening. Only the sound of fingertips tapping on the table resonates. Smothering atmosphere.
The smile on Luo Tianwu's face had already disappeared.
Under such circumstances, an ordinary person would not be able to withstand the pressure. They must have long spoken up to ease the atmosphere. However, from the very beginning, Su Zimo's expression did not change in the slightest. His gaze was as calm as an old monk who was meditating.
This young man was only 18 years old and he had a calm and mature temperament. It's so hard to face it!
Luo Tianwu muttered in his heart. He's already feeling a little uneasy.
In fact, this is a psychological pressure tactic. Anyone who could not bear this situation and spoke would definitely retreat.
Luo Tianwu originally wanted to conquer Su Zimo at the first opportunity. However, he had not expected to hit him in the wrong place. He's feeling really upset.
“Didn't Second Young Master Su want to know why I invited you today?” Luo Tianwu asked with a smile.
Su Zimo laid down his teacup casually and glanced at Luo Tianwu. He said calmly, “May I ask the City Lord to give me a clear reason.”
The two young masters of the Su family were equally superior. The patience and endurance of Young Master Su, and Second Young Master Su hid your light under the bushel. Luo Tianwu praised.
Su Zimo frowned slightly and said, City Lord, you don't need to investigate further. Please get to the point.
You are frank! I admire people like Second Young Master Su.
Luo Tianwu smiled faintly. Your brother failed to kill King Yan. He was seriously injured and was bedridden right now. I know that Second Young Master Su's heart must be filled with anger.
Hearing this, Su Zimo's face changed.
Big brother killed King Yan? He injured?
Su Zimo had not returned for a year. Therefore, he did not know that such a severe thing had happened to the Su family.
Why did the elder brother kill King Yan?
Observing the change in Su Zimo's expression, Luo Tianwu was slightly stunned. He asked, “Don't tell Second Young Master Su doesn't know about this?”
I was not aware. Su Zimo shook his head and resisted the urge to immediately return to Ping Yang City.
Luo Tianwu felt that he had regained the victory with this. He revealed a slight smile and said, Actually, I still admire and respect Su Mu, Mr. Wuding, the most. How powerful and prestigious was the black armored cavalry under his wings? Which of the surrounding states did not know the famous Su Mu? Too bad..”
Su Mu's!
After hearing this name, for some unknown reason, Su Zimo seemed to feel a pain in his heart.
Su Zimo had already sensed that this man called Su Mu was most likely his father!
He only heard Luo Tianwu continue with his words, 16 years ago, we heard that Su Mu had been framed and planned by a criminal. King Yan gave the order to exterminate his entire family. At that time, I also************** my hands in sadness and pain. I am sorry for the loss of such an amazing hero! Fortunately, Lord Wuding's bloodline still existed Two young masters of the Su family managed to escape.
Hearing this, Su Zimo already understood in his heart. He had found the answer to many of his doubts.
Without a word, Su Zimo's thin body rose up and headed outside.
“Where did Second Young Master Su go?” Luo Tianwu asked quickly.
Su Zimo's face looked serious. He turned around and looked at Luo Tianwu. Red blood vessels were visible in his eyes. That's so scary!
Luo Tianwu was stunned.
The gray-robed old man behind him took a step back instinctively. He tucked his hand into his chest and looked for the storage bag inside.
In fact, Luo Tianwu did not know that Su Zimo did not know the background of the Su family. He had not expected that Su Zimo would react so violently.
Luo Tianwu calmed himself and took a deep breath. He said in a deep voice, I know that Second Young Master Su wants revenge. I also want to seek justice for Mr. Wuding. Why don't we do this? I have a spy in the city where King Yan lives. I can try my best to help Second Young Master Su approach King Yan. With Second Young Master Su's ability, we can definitely execute King Yan and avenge Lord Wuding if we join forces!
Su Zimo closed his eyes. After some time, he gradually opened it. The color of blood in his eyes slowly faded and his eyes returned bright and clear.
This was the Su family's personal revenge. Why should I bother the City Lord? ask Su Zimo.
Luo Tianwu smiled and said, “Master Wuding is the person I admire the most in my life ..”
“You can only deceive children with such words.” Before Luo Tianwu could finish his words, Su Zimo cut him ruthlessly.
Su Zimo's words were considered a form of great disrespect towards the City Lord.
However, the smile on Luo Tianwu's face did not diminish. He continued to say, Second Young Master Su was a little angry. ME... “
“You were the one who sent Chu Liang to the inn, right?” Su Zimo interrupted Luo Tianwu again and said calmly.
Luo Tianwu withdrew his smile. There was a flash of killing intent in his eyes but it disappeared a moment later. He asked back, “What made Second Young Master Su say that?”
“From the moment I made the first move until I conquered Chu Liang, it only took the duration of ten breaths.”
Su Zimo pointed to Cao Gang at the side and added, Guard Cao suddenly entered. Ha this is too fast. It was as if this had been arranged before.
“I... I happened to pass by.” Cao Gang explained in haste.
Luo Tianwu waved his hand to stop Cao Gang from continuing his words.
It was just a short interaction and Luo Tianwu realized that this kind of little trick could not fool the person before him. Forcing explanations will only make jokes.
Su Zimo sneered and turned around. He halted his steps when he reached the doorway and said calmly, If City Lord Luo is sincere in helping the Su family, I, Su Zimo, will of course thank you. However, I do not like to be used by others. City Lord Luo.It is better that you pay attention to your conduct!
After finishing his words, Su Zimo left without turning around.
As Su Zimo's figure disappeared from the City Lord's residence, Luo Tianwu's expression turned solemn and sinister. There were already fingerprints on the sandalwood table beside him!
“This green and young young young man .. He really dares to be arrogant in front of me!” Luo Tianwu was furious. He gritted his teeth and scolded.
After some time, Luo Tianwu let out a long sigh. He turned around and asked, “Master, how do you feel about this child?”
At this moment, the gray-robed old maid straightened her back. His eyes are clear and bright. There were no signs of an old and tired appearance before.
When he heard Luo Tianwu's question, he said in a deep voice, Second Young Master Su is not simple. Although he is not a Qi Refinement Warrior, he can see my identity as a Qi Refinement Warrior with one glance. This young man's hand must have been covered in a lot of fresh blood. When she was angry earlier, I could feel a trembling in my heart. He's a very dangerous man!
“Oh?”
Luo Tianwu slightly raised his brows. He asked again, “What will happen if you fight with him?”
The expression of the gray-robed old servant was proud. He said, I am a Level 8 Qi Refinement Warrior. How can humans compete with me ?!
“However.. “.
After pausing for a moment, the gray-robed old maid changed her stance. Given the temperament and abilities of this young man, he had a high chance of success in killing King Yan! As to whether he could escape from the capital alive .. Haha …
The gray-robed old servant smiled but did not speak a word.
I am not worried whether he can escape from the capital of the residence of King Yan. As long as King Yan dies, the country will become leaderless and there will definitely be chaos. This will be the best time for me to attack the city and declare myself king! Luo Tianwu smiled. Everything is under his control.
