As the Universe Turns - Chapter 832
Chapter 832 Xiao Su’s Past
“What …”
This time, Qianluo’s expression suddenly changed. She was in her twenties, how was that possible! Even among geniuses, how could a genius in his twenties cultivate so much!
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious. In his twenties, his cultivation had already reached the Transformation Realm. Who was that …
Guan Zhen slowly woke up from his memories and slowly said, “That’s right, that person is the most outstanding peerless genius of the Xiao Clan in the past tens of thousands of years. He has already become one of the Ten Saints at such a young age …”
“Ten Saints …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed as he recalled the Ten Saints that Ku Lingzi had mentioned earlier. However, the Ten Saints that Ku Lingzi had mentioned back then were the Ten Saints of the Spirit Ruins Realm from a thousand years ago. At that time, for some reason, all ten of them had failed to enter the Saint realm. It was truly strange. And the Ten Saints that Guan Zhen was referring to should be the present Ten Saints of the Spirit Ruins Realm.
However, he did not expect that he was only in his twenties, yet his strength had already reached the Quasi-Sage realm. Was there really such a strong person in this world? It’s really hard to imagine …
“Senior, what is that person’s name?”
“Xiao Zhufeng.”
“Xiao Zhufeng …”
Hearing these three words, Xiao Chen didn’t know why, but his calm heart seemed to suddenly stir up a ripple.
Guan Zhen slowly said, “His name is Xiao Zhufeng. The word ‘Zhufeng’ was chosen by him. He only wished to follow the wind and chase the clouds in his entire life, rather than sinking into the whirlpool of these six aristocratic families. However, his fate is hard to escape from, as if he was helpless …”
Xiao Chen frowned, “Senior, why did you say that?”
Guan Zhen shook his head and sighed, “In the end, he betrayed the Xiao Clan …”
“What …”
This time, even Qianluo couldn’t help but be stunned. He murmured, “Since he is such a peerless genius, how could he betray Xiao Clan? Where did he go after betraying Xiao Clan?”
“Young lady, listen to me slowly.”
Said Guan Zhen. As he recalled, while Xiao Chen listened attentively. Guan Zhen slowly said, “Although Xiao Zhufeng has made amazing achievements, his life has been full of ups and downs. His parents died when he was young, and he is not Xiao Clan’s big Childe. If it weren’t for his astonishing willpower and talent, he would probably only be a small disciple working in the Xiao Clan courtyard and being bullied everywhere …”
For some reason, Xiao Chen was deeply moved when he heard this. After a while, Guan Zhen continued, “The reason why he betrayed the Xiao Clan was because he knew someone.”
Xiao Chen said, “It’s most likely for Hongyan.”
“Not bad …”
Guan Zhen nodded and continued, “That person is completely different from him. That person is the daughter of the current head of the Su Clan, the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of the Su Clan. How high is her status …”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown, “Is that young miss surnamed Su looking down on his background?”
“No, no, no …”
Guan Zhen shook his head continuously, “Not only did Su Rou not look down on his background, she even … she also had feelings of admiration for him. Although Su Rou’s talent is inferior to his, it is also extremely high. The two of them together can be said to be a match made in heaven. At least in my opinion, only Xiao Zhufeng is worthy of Su Rou in this world, and only Su Rou is worthy of Xiao Zhufeng. However …”
“Just what?” Xiao Chen furrowed his eyebrows and asked.
“Sigh …”
Guan Zhen let out a long sigh and continued, “At that time, the Su Clan firmly refused to agree to this marriage and even locked Su Rou up. Not only did the Su Clan not agree, even the Xiao Clan resolutely opposed it. In fact, according to the rules of the clan, Xiao Zhufeng was almost executed …”
“What!”
Qianluo’s expression changed. It was as if she had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. She murmured, “Could it be that she was going to be executed because she liked someone and wanted to be with someone? Furthermore, he was a peerless genius that only happened once every ten million years. What kind of rule was this? Too ridiculous!”
Guan Zhen shook his head. “I don’t know, “I’m not too sure about the Xiao Clan and the Su Clan. In any case, they can’t marry each other. However, it doesn’t seem like they have a grudge against each other. They even become close friends. However, they can’t marry each other. People with the Su Clan’s bloodline can’t marry the Xiao Clan. People with the Xiao Clan’s bloodline can’t marry people with the Su Clan’s bloodline, and vice versa.”
“This … what kind of logic is this?”
After hearing this, Qianluo’s entire face was dumbfounded, completely unaware of what kind of rule this was. Could it be that those six great clans were all so inexplicable?
“Absurd …”
After listening for so long, Xiao Chen only shook his head and said these two words. “Then what happened afterwards? Did he betray the Xiao Clan because of this?” He asked.
Guan Zhen said, “That’s right. Not only did he betray the Xiao Clan, he also went to the Su Clan to bring Su Rou out. In the end, the two of them fled to Tianya. However, in the end, they were found by the people from the six great clans. At that time, the two of them were pursued by experts from the Ten Saints. There were Beigong Clan and Mo Clan …”
Xiao Chen frowned and said, “What does the matter between the Xiao Su Clan and the Xiao Clan have to do with them?”
“Who knows …”
Guan Zhen shook his head and sighed, “The relationship between the six great aristocratic families has always been very delicate. Moreover, they are not from the Spirit Ruins Realm. How can outsiders know about their relationship?”
“Then what? Did the two of them succeed in escaping in the end?” Qianluo frowned deeply and asked.
Guan Zhen continued, “Although the two of them were pursued by people from the Ten Saints at that time, none of them were Xiao Zhufeng’s opponents. Until … until one of them came out of the Heavenless Palace, rumors said that he was already a Saint.”
“What …”
Qianluo was stunned. After a long time, she slowly regained her senses and muttered, “Then … then the two of them, finally … finally …”
“Luo Die, don’t ask.”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen interrupted her and continued to ask.
Luo Die heard something wrong with his voice. Turning around, she saw him clenching his fingers tightly. His fingernails seemed as if they were about to pinch into her palm. She had never seen Xiao Chen’s current appearance before. She couldn’t help but be stunned again, “Childe Xiao, what’s wrong with you …”
“If a Saint realm expert attacked, even the ten Quasi-Saints would not be their opponents. The two of them … more than half of them would have died together.”
Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. At this moment, for some unknown reason, when he said this sentence, it was as if he was filled with pain as if all the blood in his body had been sucked dry in an instant.
“Dead … dead …”
Qianluo’s face suddenly turned pale as he murmured, “The two of them only liked each other. What did they do wrong … Why did they die … Sages, shouldn’t sages be Heaven Walking Dao, supreme goodness like water? Shouldn’t they help them? Why … Why did they still kill them …”
“Sage, sage … hahahaha! Sage is inhumane, he treats the common people as his puppies!”
For some reason, Xiao Chen suddenly burst into laughter. Qianluo was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Xiao Chen laugh, but why was his smile so sad and heartbreaking …
“Childe Xiao, you, what’s wrong with you …”
Qianluo carefully approached. Only then did Xiao Chen calm down. Guan Zhen looked at him. At this moment, his gaze suddenly became deep. “Why did Little friend Xiao feel so deeply after hearing about Xiao Zhufeng and Su Rou?”
