Chapter 83 The Missing Boy
As anxious as we may be, since there's already a template for what's going to happen, there's no need to force an atmosphere out of the ordinary. As long as there's a good start, the subsequent developments will inevitably follow a positive trend, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Moreover, Su Yu is behind He Caitou.
With such a brilliant and capable leader around, there's no way things will go wrong. If anything goes wrong, it'll be Su himself who makes the mistake.
Looking at the confident Su Yu, Wang Dong couldn't help but ask, "I understand, but why can't you compete with us?"
"This isn't my fault. My dad won't let me go out, and I don't know when I'll be allowed to leave the house..."
Mentioning this matter makes Su angry. He really doesn't know how to explain it to Wang Dong. Anyway, his father is always a man of his word, and there's no room for negotiation on the matter of him being grounded.
"Alright, Wang Dong, stop making things difficult for Su Yu. After all, this is his family's decision, and we can't force him to do anything. Since Su Yu agrees with Senior Brother Bei Bei's tactics, let's look forward to Su Yu being able to go out in the next battle."
Having spent so much time with He Caitou, what he lacked was real experience. As a decision-maker, He Caitou undoubtedly had the qualifications, but although he had a lot of experience, he didn't have much real practice. This ultimately led to He Caitou only being a Soul Master.
Of the original Seven Devils, apart from Huo Yuhao, the others did not achieve much. In fact, these six were undoubtedly just supporting characters.
On this day, He Caitou and Wang Dong stayed at Su Yu's house. Although Wang Dong was resistant to soul tools, he was still very interested in the gadgets that Su Yu made.
Anyway, since Su's family is so wealthy and powerful, he specially arranged a place for He Caitou so that he could do whatever he wanted and just say what he needed.
After saying that, He Caitou plunged into the room, telling Su Yu not to disturb him. Looking at the pile of design drawings on the table, He Caitou felt like he was in heaven.
Anyway, Su Yu didn't care about the cost. As long as He Caitou didn't blow up the house, he could do whatever he wanted. When he first learned about soul tools, He Caitou was very helpful in answering his questions and teaching him how to make soul tools.
However, the worst fears still came true.
In the laboratory that Su Yu had assigned to He Caitou, a deafening explosion rang out, and He Caitou, covered in soot, was thrown out of the laboratory, which was still billowing with thick smoke...
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the laboratory might need some repairs. Seeing He Caitou's disheveled appearance, Su simply sent someone to take He Caitou to another place.
You want to talk to me about losses? I can make up for them by making some soul tools and selling them to others. Go ahead, make as many as you want...
"Do you think Brother He is really alright?" Wang Dong asked with some concern, looking at He Caitou's disheveled appearance.
"It's alright. Don't forget that Brother He is a Level 4 Soul Master, so don't worry." Su Yu was quite calm. If something like this could happen, not only would He Caitou want to find a block of tofu to smash his head against, but even Fan Yu could beat him to death with noodles.
Wang Dong curled his lip in disdain and said, "Of course I know, I was just asking."
"I know, I know, you know best, Squad Leader Wang." Su Yu was too lazy to expose him. Although he knew that his father must have found out something, Su Yu had a feeling that he might have to stay at home for a long time.
"Wang Dong, do you think we'll win this match?" Su Yu knew that because of his absence, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao no longer had their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, making the outcome too unpredictable.
Looking at Su Yu's hesitant face, Wang Dong also began to have doubts. "I don't know either, but I believe that Senior Brother Bei Bei will lead us to victory."
"I hope so."
Standing on the balcony, gazing at the distant Star Emperor Hotel, Su Yu knew that their only chance of victory was to ensure that Ma Xiaotao was not hit by the soul tool that possessed both light and darkness; otherwise, their battle was destined to end in defeat.
However, the only piece with infinite variables is not Ma Xiaotao, but Su Yu.
"Reach out." Looking at Wang Dong beside him, Su Yu said calmly.
Wang Dong's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. "Huh? Why are you reaching out?"
Although they said they didn't understand, their bodies still honestly extended their arms.
The next instant, a pinkish-blue gemstone appeared in Wang Dong's hand. Gazing at the pinkish-blue ring that sparkled with the gemstone, the pale blue gemstone shimmered with a dazzling halo under the sunlight, its brilliance captivating Wang Dong.
"Su Yu, you, you..." A faint blush appeared on Wang Dong's handsome face.
Gazing at the exquisitely crafted ring and the breathtaking gemstone, Wang Dong stammered, "You, you, when did you...?"
"Don't overthink it. I just feel this is suitable for you. It's similar to the Starry Sapphire, a treasure of space, but not as rare. Here, take it. Remember to take good care of it." Su Xinyuan had given it to him, saying it wasn't anything precious, but he still made sure to give it to his daughter-in-law.
Anyway, that old guy was never reliable in front of Su Yu. The only time Su Yu was impressed by him was when his parents were arguing, neither of them would give in, and the two old people smashed all the pots, pans, and other things...
They were all stubborn and refused to back down, insisting that Su Yu deliver the message. They were all really headstrong, each one of them suffering for the sake of saving face.
"What, you don't like it? If you don't like it, I'll take it back." As he spoke, Su Yu reached out to take it back.
Wang Dong, however, took it first, blushing as he said, "How can you take back something you've given away? This thing is mine now, and I can do with it however I want."
He picked up the ring and, without saying a word, put it on the middle finger of his left hand, a smug smile on his lips.
Looking at Wang Dong's appearance, Su Yu just smiled and said, "What are you laughing at? Aren't you ashamed, you're a grown man? Even though you look like a little girl, you're still a boy."
"Hehe, I won't listen to your nonsense. I, Wang Dong, hereby declare that from now on, I will protect you. If you have any problems, just tell me, and I will definitely help you solve them." After saying that, she proudly puffed out her small chest and held Su Yu's hand as if in a show of defiance.
"Understood, Lord Wang, you are right." Su Yu looked towards the Star Emperor Hotel in the distance; his thoughts were no longer on the competition.
Even if he wins or loses, Su Yu doesn't care anymore...
The ring fit snugly on Wang Dong's left middle finger, and at that moment, Su Yu's words from that day involuntarily came to Wang Dong's mind.
All I care about is you, so I believe, Wang Dong, you won't change. You'll always be you, now and in the future...
Thinking of this, Wang Dong subconsciously touched his brow, a fleeting sadness appearing in his eyes.
Holding Wang Dong's hand, Su Yu asked, "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in thought."
"It's nothing..."
"I don't believe you. You're definitely hiding something from me. Tell me, have you fallen for another girl...?"
"Hahaha, stop scratching me, help me, hahaha..."
The previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly changed. One second they were chatting and laughing, the next they were fighting and bickering. Not only the servants, but even Su Xinyuan, who was observing from the shadows, revealed a meaningful smile...
…………
It was getting late, and Wang Dong wanted to stay and keep Su Yu company, but Su Yu told them to prepare for tomorrow's battle and did not let Wang Dong stay.
Watching Wang Dong and He Caitou's departing figures, Su couldn't help but sigh.
"He's a nice person, but he can't be with her, right?"
"Hmm, what a pity..."
"If only you could get out of here. Nothing else matters, that light blue-haired kid is more important."
"Yeah, yeah, how did you know... Holy crap..."
As he spoke, Su suddenly realized that the voice was incredibly familiar, strikingly similar to his father's.
Turning his head, Su Yu found Su Xinyuan standing beside him without him noticing. At this moment, Su Yu felt that he would never believe his father if he said that he had no cultivation. This guy appeared behind his father silently, and he had no difference in cultivation at all.
If you tell me you have no cultivation, I will never believe you!
"Tell me, what kind of little girl is worth you giving away my treasure?" Su Xinyuan asked Su Yu with a wicked grin.
"What little girl? I'm surrounded by boys all the time, where did this little girl come from?" Su was still pretending, as long as he wasn't caught red-handed, he wouldn't admit it anyway.
As he spoke, Su Xinyuan pulled out his belt, pointed at Su Yu, and said, "You dare to fool even your own father? If you don't talk today, I'll beat you to death, you bastard! You just give away such a precious treasure like that, are you going to talk or not?"
Looking at his father holding the Seven Wolves sword, Su subconsciously took a few steps back.
Holy crap, wait a minute! Your son just picked out a daughter-in-law for you, and you're already putting on a show of filial piety?
"Can't you talk this out properly, sir...?" Looking at Su Xinyuan's fierce and menacing appearance, Su Yu subconsciously started to back away.
Because he couldn't be sure that if Su Xinyuan couldn't catch him, he wouldn't have Old Chen hold him down, and then the father would use his sword against the son. Seeing that his son wasn't yet dead, the father drew his Seven Wolves sword...
"Fine, you won't talk, huh? Old Chen, tie this guy up so he can laugh out loud." Su Xinyuan never disappointed Su.
The next instant, Su's vision blurred, and he was grabbed by Old Chen, with no ability to resist.
The Third Ring Road versus the Seventh Ring Road... what am I thinking...?
Looking at Su Yu's utterly dejected expression, Su Xinyuan sat down on the sofa and said, "I know you're stubborn, but it's okay, I'll say it."
"What?! You're the one to say it?!" Upon hearing Su Xinyuan's words, Su Yu's eyes widened, staring at Su Xinyuan with disbelief.
Su Xinyuan, legs crossed, leaned back on the sofa and said, "Others might not know, but what doesn't your old man know? Name: Wang Dong; Age: Twelve; Martial Soul: Goddess of Light Butterfly. The rest—you tell me, or I'll tell you?"
"What? What else?" Su Yu wanted to know what Su Xinyuan knew.
Su Xinyuan waved his hand and said, "Old Chen, put Yu'er down."
After Su Yu was put down, Su Xinyuan calmly picked up the teacup on the table and slowly said, "Would a martial soul like the Goddess of Light Butterfly appear on a boy? Even though I'm not a soul master, I'm not stupid!"
Snapped!
Su Xinyuan slammed his hand on the table, startling Su Yu so much that he trembled. Damn it, he knew all this. What was there that his own father didn't know?
"I know you're wondering how I found out, but I won't tell you now. You'll find out later anyway. Old Chen, take Su Yu and come with me."
After saying that, Su Xinyuan led Su Yu to a room that had been sealed off for a long time.
"Do you know where this is?" Su Xinyuan opened the bronze door that had been sealed for who knows how long.
The copper ring vibrated, and a large amount of dust was constantly shaken off the door. Behind the door was not as magnificent as Su Yu had imagined; there was only an ordinary passageway.
The passage was unusually long. It took Elder Chen, a seventh-ring Soul Saint, an hour to reach the end while flying at full speed with Su Xinyuan and Su Yu.
The tunnels were a maze of interconnected passages, making Su Yu feel dizzy just looking at them. It wasn't until he landed that Su Yu suddenly realized what was happening.
After a series of identity verifications, Su Yu finally arrived at his destination.
"Go in." Su Xinyuan's voice came from behind Su Yu.
"Dad, can I not go in?" Looking at Su Xinyuan's kind smile, Su Yu felt an instinctive resistance.
Su Xinyuan kicked Su Yu in the butt, "Stop dawdling, just go when I tell you to."
Su Yu reluctantly placed the jade token on his body into the groove. After a tremor, behind the gate was a soul tool factory similar to Mingde Hall!
However, it is much smaller than Mingde Hall in terms of scale, and even the highest-ranking Soul Master here is only a Level 6 Soul Master.
In comparison, it was utterly shabby. Upon seeing Su Yu arrive, everyone rushed forward to greet him, "Greetings, Young Master!"
"Get up. You must be our Su family's soul guidance researchers, right? You're currently studying the blueprints my father gave you, aren't you?"
Looking at the large number of scrapped parts and defective products on the table, as well as a pile of semi-finished products, Su Yu knew that the research must have encountered difficulties, otherwise Su Xinyuan would never have brought him here.
"Young Master is indeed amazing. After Master gave us these design drawings to study, we found that no matter how we tried to manufacture them, we could not make the soul tools shown on the drawings. So we could only ask Master to send the designer of the drawings. We never expected that these drawings were actually made by Young Master. We are truly in awe of him."
