Chapter 101 – New Rich Owner
On the sedan chair, Zuo Songyan stared at Su Yun, while Su Yun sat obediently on the opposite side. Chi Xiaoyao wisely kept silent.
After a moment, the girl slipped downstairs.
Zuo Songyan was imposing and overwhelming, but Su Yun was calm and unperturbed. Being caught between the two, she felt immense pressure, as if standing between two invincible masters.
But she didn\'t know that Su Yun used to be blind, and even though his eyes were healed, he had developed the habit of keeping his eyes closed. No matter how imposing or domineering Zuo Songyan was, he remained expressionless and indifferent.
"The little girl is not bad," Zuo Songyan said, closing the door of the second floor and sealing it with his Yuan Qi. He then sat back in front of Su Yun and asked, "Su Shangshi, what do you know?"
Su Yun shook his head, "I don\'t know anything."
He really didn\'t know anything, he just heard Dr. Dong say "Lao Piao Ba Zi," and recognized the voice as Zuo Songyan\'s disguised voice, so he knew that Lao Piao Ba Zi was Zuo Songyan.
As for what Lao Piao Ba Zi was doing and why Zuo Songyan was called that, Su Yun had no idea.
Zuo Songyan stared at him tightly, but after a moment, he exhaled and couldn\'t find a way to interrogate him.
Obviously, Su Yun had already guessed his identity, but he didn\'t reveal it and used it as a bargaining chip.
Zuo Songyan knew that Su Yun was powerful, but he didn\'t expect him to be this powerful! Now he finally understood why Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist were helpless when facing Su Yun. He felt like he had boarded a thief ship and could not get off.
"No wonder the Emperor chose you as the Shangshi," Zuo Songyan sighed and looked out the window. "After investigating the robbery of the Ashen Monster, what\'s the next case? Can you give me a heads up?"
Su Yun\'s calm demeanor disappeared, and his pupils gathered. Obviously, he had figured something out and said, "The Ashen Monster case is not over yet. The Tong family has taken away many black stone coffins. Where are these coffins going, and what does the Tong family want to do with them? It hasn\'t been figured out yet. In addition, there are demons appearing, and the strange situation in Shuofang makes me deeply believe that the water in Shuofang is too deep to fathom. There must be a big fish hidden inside!"
Zuo Songyan finally felt relieved that Su Yun wouldn\'t investigate him for the time being.
"How deep are you going to investigate?" Zuo Songyan probed.
Su Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we test the waters first?"
Zuo Songyan turned to him and frowned, "Isn\'t that too deep? If we go too deep, I\'m afraid I won\'t be able to hold it, and I\'ll hurt the Shangshi."
Su Yun followed his example and turned to him, asking, "What depth do you think is appropriate, Left Prefect?"
Zuo Songyan couldn\'t be sure of his bottom line, so he had to say his own bottom line first, "Yesterday\'s depth is enough. If it\'s deeper, I and the Wen Chang Academy won\'t be able to hold it."
Su Yun couldn\'t be sure how deep yesterday\'s depth was, so he continued to probe, "Is it the depth of Tong Qingluo or the depth of the Ashen Monster?"
Zuo Songyan\'s scalp was numb, and his heart was trembling, "Tong Qingluo\'s depth? Is it the death of a Ling Shi every time a case is investigated? The depth of the Ashen Monster is the level of sweeping Ashen City?"
"How about shallower?" Zuo Songyan suggested.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let\'s go shallower."
Zuo Songyan smiled, "Shangshi, thank you for your kindness. I will remember this favor. The reward for the six black stone coffins from last night has been placed in the Shanshui Residence. Please check it when you leave."
The sedan chair stopped, and Su Yun looked out the window and saw that they had arrived at the Wen Chang Academy.Zuo Songyan stood up and said, "I\'ll get off here and let the coachman take you to Shanshuiju. By the way..."
He stopped and said, "Can you pass on the Honglu Shanbian and Bifang Shenxing to the Wenchang Academy? It will benefit the scholars of our academy."
Su Yun solemnly said, "If it benefits the scholars, I will not hesitate to share the techniques. Besides, my Bifang Shenxing was learned from the academy."
Zuo Songyan was surprised at his generosity. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I\'ll send Xianyun and Master Tu to follow you for a while to learn these two techniques. They will also disturb you for a few days."
Su Yun watched him leave and suddenly remembered something. He said, "Chief, the Dust Robbery and Demon Case are actually the same case."
Zuo Songyan nodded and said, "If you tell me this, it means you trust me. In that case, I will also tell you that someone is investigating you."
Su Yun was shocked and asked, "Someone is investigating me?"
Zuo Songyan said, "Our agreement still stands, you can rest assured. There is nothing that the underworld can do that the Piaozibazi can\'t handle. Even if the Emperor of Dongdu comes to Shuofang City, he will have to bow down to the Piaozibazi like a snake."
As they headed to Shanshuiju, Chi Xiaoyao asked Su Yun, "Do you know Chief Zuo well?"
Su Yun shook his head and thought to himself, "It\'s so difficult to study in the city. I\'m always forced to investigate cases. Chief Zuo asked me to investigate a complicated case last night. How is that studying? It\'s more like putting my head on the line and risking my life!"
Looking out the window, Su Yun felt a sense of helplessness. "Luckily, I caught the Dust Robbery case and didn\'t let it go. He even forced me to bring in the Demon Case. I just don\'t know how long I can delay..."
Zuo Songyan watched the coach leave and said to Master Tu Ming, "He\'s a clever young man. Heroes come from the young generation. He is from Tiandao Academy and speaks and acts with precision. He has a high level of understanding and I was going to teach him a lesson, but he beat me to it. This generation of young people should not be underestimated."
Master Tu Ming asked, "Chief, what did he say?"
"He found out about my identity in the underworld and used it to pressure me. Then he gave me some sweet words and promised not to investigate other cases. He even said that he would let me off lightly. But he still wants to dig deeper into the Dust Robbery case."
Master Tu Ming was shocked and said, "This will push the Tong family to their limits! If we push them too hard, they will fight back! Does this mean that the Emperor wants to target the old immortals of the Tong family?"
Zuo Songyan nodded and said, "The fact that the Chief is investigating the Tong family confirms our suspicions that they are involved. I told him to take it easy and not to dig too deep. He gave me some face and agreed. He even investigated things that we couldn\'t."
He looked into the distance and exhaled a breath of air. "He said that the Dust Robbery and Demon Case are the same case."
Master Tu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he understood the connection between the two cases and praised Su Yun\'s intelligence.
Zuo Songyan said, "This young man is impressive. Xianyun and you should go see him. I\'ve already told him to pass on the Honglu Shanbian and Bifang Shenxing to you."Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao were dropped off by the carriage at Shanshui Residence. As they walked into the scenic area, they saw Hua Hu and three little kids counting money.
There were piles of Qinghong coins in the residence, and the amount was huge. Su Yun was shocked as he had no idea that a live Grey Robber was worth so much money.
"It\'s mainly because live Grey Robbers are expensive," said Chi Xiaoyao. "Grey Robbers are rarely caught alive, and even simple Grey Robbers are already valuable. The academy doesn\'t need so many Grey Robbers, so they will most likely sell them to other academies to make a profit. Zuo Pushe never makes a bad deal."
She didn\'t care much about money because the way back to Longhe River was the way to the North Sea, where Qinghong crabs often gathered at the mouth of the river. The Chi family lacked everything except money.
Hua Hu, on the other hand, valued money a lot and said, "Xiaoyao, we have three thousand Qinghong coins here. Shouldn\'t we be able to make a spiritual weapon?"
Chi Xiaoyao shook her head and said, "Far from enough. If spiritual weapons were so easy to make, every spiritualist would have one. Qinghong coins are the most suitable for making spiritual weapons as they cause less damage to the body. However, at least ten thousand Qinghong coins are needed to make a spiritual weapon, which is why they are called spiritual weapons. The word \'spiritual\' is actually rare, meaning it costs a lot of money."
Su Yun and Hua Hu were both shocked. It meant that most spiritualists might not have their own spiritual weapons throughout their lives.
"Even the idle aristocratic families don\'t have many spiritual weapons. Most spiritualists earn money while practicing, and when they reach the Liyuan and Tianxiang realms, they have saved enough money to make their own spiritual weapons."
Chi Xiaoyao smiled and said, "But how many people can reach the Liyuan and Tianxiang realms? Those who can become spiritualists are people with great perseverance, and those who can reach the Yuandong realm are even rarer. Those who can reach the Liyuan and Tianxiang realms are even fewer. In the entire Shuofang City, there are only thirty masters in the Tianxiang realm, and one died last night."
Su Yun thought of Tong Qingluo and thought to himself, "The Tianxiang realm is indeed extraordinary. Tong Qingluo is a formidable character. But doesn\'t Tong Xuan have a folding fan? Isn\'t that a spiritual weapon?"
He asked Chi Xiaoyao his doubts, but before she could answer, the voice of Idle Cloud Taoist came from outside, saying, "If a spiritualist doesn\'t have enough wealth to make a spiritual weapon, they will take shortcuts and use spiritual tools instead. Spiritual tools also come in many types, and some can be used for battle."
Su Yun greeted Idle Cloud Taoist and Master Tu Ming and invited them in.
Master Tu Ming said, "Making spiritual tools is simple. Many scholars can learn how to make them in the academy after becoming spiritualists. But making spiritual weapons is difficult as it involves many aspects, such as metallurgy, academics, branding, sacrifice, polishing... Just hiring these spiritualists would cost as much as making a spiritual weapon!"
Idle Cloud Taoist smiled and said, "That\'s why spiritual weapons are the property of aristocratic families."
Master Tu Ming sighed, "There are spiritual weapons in the Tianmen Ghost Market, and each one is powerful. But..."
Idle Cloud Taoist also sighed and was tempted by the spiritual weapons in the Tianmen Ghost Market but dared not go there.
"For idle spiritualists, spiritual tools are enough. In recent years, spiritual tools have become popular, and many strange and wonderful things have been created."Idle Cloud Taoist took out a piece of jade tree leaf and said, "This is called Tianyan, also a spiritual tool. It can be pasted on the forehead and turn into an eye. With this treasure, you can see through illusions and even see things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is necessary to have it when traveling outside. One Qinghong coin for each."
Su Yun was greatly moved and was about to buy some when Chi Xiaoyao quietly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "One Qinghong coin can buy ten!"
Idle Cloud Taoist became anxious and quickly said, "Miss Chi, this is blessed by the Dao Lord and different from ordinary Tianyan! My Tianyan is the Daoist Tianyan, which can see the spirituality of people, break through formations, see through demons and evil spirits, and even observe in detail with ease!"
Su Yun asked, "Did you personally refine it, Daoist?"
Idle Cloud Taoist nodded repeatedly.
Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "I want sixty Tianyan for two Qinghong coins. "
Idle Cloud Taoist was overjoyed and quickly took out a bag from his pocket, saying, "Indeed, a new rich man with a lot of money! Alright, I will lose some money, anyway, I have never sold any. Sixty Tianyan for thirty Qinghong coins!"
Su Yun said to Hua Hu, "Second Brother, give thirty Qinghong coins to the Daoist."
Hua Hu responded and counted thirty Qinghong coins to him.
Idle Cloud Taoist quickly took the money and counted out sixty jade leaves, saying with a smile, "After you use them, make sure to praise them. Other people\'s Tianyan are refined by spiritual masters, but this is self-refined by me! I am, after all...an expert!"
He mumbled and did not say his level.
Master Tu Ming was very envious when he saw him getting so much money at once. Su Yun asked, "Master, can you also refine Tianyan?"
Master Tu Ming became excited and took out a small bag, saying with a smile, "The Tianyan I refine is the Buddhist Tianyan, also blessed, which can make people smart and have the protection of Buddha light, invulnerable to evil spirits! If scholars want to buy it, I will give you the same price!"
Su Yun glanced at Hua Hu, who understood and brought thirty Qinghong coins to Master Tu Ming.
Master Tu Ming was overjoyed and hurriedly gave him sixty jade leaves.
Su Yun took ten pieces from each kind of jade leaves and handed them to Chi Xiaoyao, saying, "For your use in school."
Chi Xiaoyao was stunned, "For use in school?"
Su Yun put one jade leaf of Daoist and one of Buddhist on the left and right eyebrows, and the two jade leaves gradually disappeared.
The next moment, there were eye sockets on both sides of his eyebrows, revealing two eyes that rolled a few times before focusing.
Especially the Buddhist Tianyan, there was really a vision, making Su Yun\'s head have a faint Buddha light.
But having eyes on the eyebrows was strange.
In Su Yun\'s spiritual world, his spirituality browsed through the books in Wenchang Academy. As Idle Cloud and Master Tu Ming said, he could read four lines at a glance, greatly improving both his memory and comprehension!
"Learning with Tianyan?"
Chi Xiaoyao, Idle Cloud, and Master Tu Ming were surprised. This was the first time someone used Tianyan to study after it was created!
Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue, Li Xiaofan, and Hu Buping also took two kinds of jade leaves and followed suit, pasting them above their eyebrows, and two eyes grew on each of them.
Su Yun\'s four eyes swept over Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue, and others, and said in a deep voice, "Learning with this will be faster! Try to complete all the courses in ten days!"
"Okay!" The four little foxes nodded heavily together.
Su Yun was worried, "Left Protector is too shrewd, like having a pair of sharp eyes. I don\'t know when he will expose my identity and see through me. Learning more is better... "Zhai Zhu: It\'s already 4am! I\'ve updated 17,000 words today! Please vote for me and subscribe.
