I am a living immortal.

After listening to this ups and downs story, ah no, it was the truth, Su Mu sighed that this snake really lived up to the saying that a gentleman's revenge is never too late.

But how satisfying this revenge was.

How frustrating it was to be sealed away afterwards. What was even more frustrating was that this time, he couldn't find anyone to take revenge on. The old ones were all killed, and the young ones, after such a long time, were probably buried. The Yunfu Sect, the immortal sect, was probably lost in the long river of time.

"That's what happened! Anahuang thanks the Immortal Venerable for his guidance." Anahuang expressed his gratitude solemnly.

"I can't say thank you enough. That was your fate. Well, it's getting late. Just take your time and do your best." Su Mu smiled and refused Aa Huang's thanks, then stood up and left.

"Farewell, Immortal Lord!" The giant snake still lowered its head solemnly.

Su Mu waved her hand and disappeared from the spot.

The breeze blew across the street and appeared again at the door of the courtyard. I pushed the door open and walked in. A rich spiritual energy hit me in the face. The inside and outside of the courtyard seemed like two different worlds.

Close the courtyard door, and with every breath you take, spiritual energy flows through your body. In such an environment, even if you don't enter a state of meditation, every movement and stillness is a form of cultivation.

Feeling my body being constantly polished, the feeling of progress is fascinating.

Move the lounge chair into the yard.

Put a small table, brew a pot of tea, fan yourself with a palm-leaf fan in one hand and read a book with the other. Even a god would be like this.

I bought the miscellaneous book together with the mask on my first day in Yuannan City. I haven't had time to read it in the past few days. It is said to be the most popular story at the moment. In this era, serious books are expensive, but miscellaneous books are much cheaper.

I happen to have nothing to do today, so I might as well do this as a pastime.

These miscellaneous books are actually like novels, most of which describe things like gods and ghosts. The authors compiled them based on some difficult-to-understand natural phenomena. Of course, some of them are true, but the compilers are not aware of it.

The miscellaneous book in Su Mu's hand is called Biography of the Lake God.

There is a reason why this book is so popular in Yuannan and its surrounding areas, because the book talks about the large lake in Yuannan, Xunyang Lake.

The river god created by this author is an old turtle.

"Old turtle?" Su Mu's mind moved, as if he remembered something. When he killed the corpse ghost, he seemed to hear the corpse ghost shouting.

Is it a coincidence?

No, I don't think so.

…………

To outsiders, the Chu family seems glamorous and is a powerful family in Yuannan, but that is only on the surface.

The Chu family has been in decline since the generation of Old Master Chu.

After the old man passed away two years ago, his condition has been getting worse day by day.

First, the brothers fought over property.

The industries that had been helping each other and barely making ends meet fell apart overnight, making the Chu family's situation even more difficult.

The old man left most of his property to his eldest son. The key point is that if this eldest son had been more useful, the Chu family would not have become like this.

The most hardworking brothers in the Chu family didn't get much.

The old man's partiality indirectly led to several pillars of the Chu family leaving and starting their own families.

The eldest son is a waste, and he doesn't even realize it.

The situation was in a mess. If the Chu family had not been well-off, they would not have been able to survive for two years.

But this year, the income from all the Chu family's businesses was not even half of what it was in previous years.

If this continues, the entire Chu family will be finished.

The eldest master of the Chu family, the eldest son Chu Wenyou, finally came to his senses at this moment, but the entire Chu family had already become a ruin, with a beautiful exterior but rotten inside.

However, it was hit hard again this year.

Among the four sons of the eldest master of the Chu family, the eldest son was raised to be a good-for-nothing, the second son was a spendthrift and was comparable to the eldest son, and the third son, who was the only smart one, was unexpectedly also a love-brained and confused son. He directly abducted the already married daughter of the Wang family and both of them died.

This made the already dilapidated home even worse.

The Chu family paid a large amount of fertile land and prosperous shops to resolve the matter.

When the master woke up and looked at the ruins on the ground, he thought it would be better to remain in a daze, but he was still a little unwilling.

First, he has to stabilize the situation, and secondly, he has to find a successor to hold up the situation.

So he thought of his fourth son who had been raised in the farm.

But I don’t know whether it was because Chu Wenyou had been useless for too long and couldn’t be completely foolproof when he woke up, or because someone was pushing him, but the news was known to the eldest son.

How could this good-for-nothing let others take away his family property? At least that's what he thought.

This young master has nothing else, but he is well connected with the third-rate and ninth-class sects, and he spends a lot of money on assassinations.

That's right.

It was the one Su Mu encountered at the official road inn.

This made Chu Wenyou furious. He was so angry that his palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. He only gave his eldest son house arrest as a superficial punishment to appease his fourth son.

Hell has already begun, and they are even fighting among themselves to grab the little remaining family property.

In addition, no matter how hard Chu Wenyou begged, no one was willing to help the Chu family, which completely exposed the Chu family's weakness.

Even if this waste wakes up, he will not become a genius, he will only become a waste who wakes up.

This is also the reason why he wants to train his fourth son.

This ordinary method is completely unable to save the Chu family... When you are weak, it is best to act less weak, because there are many people staring at you, waiting for you to be too weak to move, and then feast on you.

This is the lesson Chu Wenyou learned from blood.

You will learn it as soon as you learn it.

After this lesson, the Chu family unexpectedly did not take any other action, as if they had accepted their fate. However, only other families in Yuannan felt a strange atmosphere, but could not find any clues.

In a villa of the Chu family.

Even though the Chu family has fallen on hard times, the house they built during its heyday is extraordinary, with carved beams and painted pillars, and the bluestones on the ground are all of the same size and fit together perfectly, not to mention the calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and some antique vases that decorate the house.

This is enough to show the Chu family's strength during its peak period, and the extravagance behind that strength.

Unfortunately, times have changed. The Chu family at its peak is long gone.

Chu Wenyou sighed as he stroked the exquisitely carved mahogany desk, but when he saw the box placed in the room, a complex look flashed in his eyes. There was greed, fear, confidence, but more of it was an indomitable momentum. All kinds of complex emotions were intertwined.

He said bitterly: "Since you are not willing to help me, then let me do it myself."

An inexplicable confidence burst out from my body, and the source of this confidence came from the things in the box.

And Chu Wenyou will definitely be able to lead the Chu family back to the peak, no, to surpass the peak.
