Chapter 613 A Hidden Melancholy and Resentment Arise (Part 2)
Once the conversation starts, it gets too far-fetched.

"The fact that the powerful families in Jiankang have connections with the merchants of the East China Sea cannot be considered a crime. As for the fact that they are practicing the Jingxiu Demonic Sect..."

Feng Buxing shook his head repeatedly: "Our Emperor, isn't he..."

Indeed, even the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty has begun to resort to demonic methods. Now, this Central Plains, regardless of north or south, is already utterly corrupt.

But Madam Xie is by no means simple, because Su Che also knows that the people of the Arctic Yuan Palace are targeting her.

Once this mystery is solved, things will be much easier.

"This woman is no ordinary person."

Su Che suddenly remembered a passage.

What is Wang Jian doing now?

"Wang Jian? He was originally convicted, but then the Langya Wang clan took action, and now he's retired at home. The Prince of Wuling has gotten into such a big mess, and although he has nothing to do with it, someone has to take the blame. Anyway, the Langya Wang clan has many members, so it won't hurt to pay for one or two."

"Does Your Majesty intend to use him as a breakthrough point?"

"We have absolutely no clue, so I'm afraid we have no choice but to go find him."

Su Che looked at Feng Xingbu and said, "Now we can only be more careful. Madam Xie is giving up her good life to become a eunuch in the palace. There must be something more to this. We can leave the overt work to the Censorate. We should pay more attention to other unusual movements in Jiankang City."

"That's probably too much to keep track of."

Feng Buxing shook his head and said, "As soon as that void rift appeared, countless monsters and demons came to Daliang to try their luck. Not to mention the Imperial Guards, almost all the forces of the Censorate and the Jingye Division were used to stabilize the situation. For every Rejuvenation Pill that comes, we have to give up one. But where in the court do we have so many Rejuvenation Pills to accompany these idle wanderers? The court can't come up with a strategy either."

Troubled times.

Su Che took a sip of wine.

This matter cannot be left like this. Su Che had a vague feeling that Madam Xie must have more secrets behind her.

Proximity to the Beiji Yuan Palace might be an idea.

"Let's not talk about things that are far away."

Su Che looked at Feng Xingbu and said, "Times have changed. When I first met Feng Gonggang, I never imagined things would turn out this way."

"It's all thanks to the young master."

"I would like to take advantage of Lord Feng's good fortune."

Su Che pointed to Lu Bai and Zhu Yi, who were accompanying him, and said, "Lord Feng should know these two."

"They are all the young master's trusted confidants, especially Brother Lu, who is truly loyal and righteous. Even the old master speaks highly of him."

The "old man" that Feng Xingbu mentioned was naturally Old Su.

“My great-uncle has to hold the whole world in his heart, I dare not count on him.”

Su Che looked at Feng Xingbu and said, "I have no choice but to ask Eunuch Feng for help."

"Ok?"

"Please take care of them, father-in-law, and give them a future."

"What makes you say that, Third Young Master? You are from the Marquis of Changxin's mansion. It won't be long before you are granted the title of Grand Master of the Three Departments. At that time, you can open your own mansion and select talented people..."

"I am a person outside the secular world."

Su Che looked at Feng Xingbu and said very firmly, "It is true that I am Huang Tiandao's Tianxia Xingxing, but I am also a disciple of Master Yu Lizi, a third-generation disciple."

Feng nodded.

"If the sect commands me to return to the Yellow Heaven, I will not hesitate for a moment."

Su Che said calmly, "The soaring dragons of the six directions and the imperial ambitions are nothing but fleeting clouds to me. Although I am surnamed Su and I am grateful to my great-uncle, my ambition lies in the Great Dao, not in family business."

Feng did not reply, because it was not appropriate to go into details at this point.

Although the world now belongs to the Great Liang, the internal structure has changed, and no one can say for sure who will be in charge in the future.

However, the Su family of Duling is definitely one of the competitors.

After Old Su passed away, who could uphold the reputation of the Su family of Duling? Naturally, it was this young Su from Huang Tiandao.

But since they are outsiders, there will always be a day when they leave.

Xiao Su's rise to power was so rapid that Su Che remained entangled in the power struggles of the mortal world. But what about ten years from now? What about a hundred years from now?
This is why the powerful clans of Jiankang remained indifferent. According to the traditional ways of the Central Plains, the Su family of Duling was considered extinct after the defeat at Fangtou.

Whether it's Old Su or Young Su, it's at most a last gasp before death.

Whether a family can go far and reach its ultimate peak depends on more than just one or two people.

It is the result of the hard work and dedication of several generations.

If Su Che truly cares for the Su family of Duling, then he will face countless similar choices.

Is the Su family's business more important, or is one's own immortality more important?

Ultimately, the Su family of Duling and Su Che will drift further and further apart.

The true Kunpeng cannot be contained by a small nest.

Just like the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun today, the reason why the two families have prospered to this day is not because of a few brilliant geniuses, but because of a group of mediocre talents who are willing to be lonely, and those vulgar people who are obsessed with power.

“Lu Bai and Zhu Yi have been with me for a long time, and I owe them a lot.”

"You flatter me, sir."

"To be able to follow you, young master, is the greatest blessing I have ever had in my past lives."

Lu Bai and Zhu Yi were also somewhat moved at one point.

“I can give them things like money and land.”

Su Che looked at Lu Bai and Zhu Yi, knowing that his family had already arranged some land and houses for them in Cizhou.

However, wealth and possessions are actually quite empty in this world.

“Eunuch Feng is also a man of great talent. I would like to do him a favor and ask him to look after the two of them for me.”

Su Che raised his glass.

"To ensure their safety throughout their lives, and if they can also have a promising future, that would be even better."

Feng Buxing stared at the wine glass before him, hesitant to raise it. Why did the Third Young Master seem to be entrusting his son to someone else today?

"Their safe and promising future is all thanks to you, young master. How could I, Feng, dare to take credit for it?"

Feng quickly declined, saying no.

“Eunuch Feng, I will soon be heading to the Void Rift, and then I will set off on a journey.”

Su Che looked at Feng Xingbu and said, "I've seen enough of the mortal world; I want to see even bigger sights."

“Young master, although I am not very talented, I am willing to travel with you.”

"Zhu Yi had the same thought."

Lu Bai looked at Su Che and said, "Young Master, do you perhaps dislike my eyes...?"

"...I only regret that my abilities are too meager to be of any help to you, young master."

"Lao Lu."

Su Che looked at Lu Bai and said, "The happiest time of my life was when the Yin-Yang Realm shattered, and I ran wildly with Lao Lu, slaying demons and capturing ghosts everywhere."

"Old Zhu, I've seen how hard you've worked these past few days, you've been so diligent."

"Son..."

“You are different from me. You all have families and children. You have worked hard for half your lives. There is no need to keep struggling.”

Su Che looked at the two of them and said, "I can't give you much, but I beg Lord Feng to grant you wealth and glory."

"You flatter me, Third Young Master."

Feng Xingbu quickly stood up.

“Young master, you are so kind. I, Feng, will do my utmost to ensure that these two brave men enjoy wealth and honor.”

Su Che laughed and raised his wine glass, pointing at Feng Xingbu.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for."
