Chapter 12

A country bumpkin was indeed a country bumpkin!

This was the sentence that Su Diguo wanted to say the most at this moment. He felt like he was playing the lute to a cow. He had been preparing to say something for a long time, but it was like bullshit. Xiao Chen pretended not to hear it.

He wouldn't even be able to keep his own life? Why would he still care about Dragon Heart Grass?

Did he really think that he could suppress Yue Fusheng and kill the entire Yue Family? After all, the Yue Family only produced assassins. At this moment, if he dared to go out of the Su Family, he would guarantee that he would die within half a day.

After punching the air, Su Diguo forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart and continued with a bright smile, "Childe Xiao, don't worry. I came here today because I have news about the Dragon Heart Grass. I heard that... it is for your grandfather? You are so powerful, so your grandfather must be stronger, right? How could he be injured by a fifth-class Wasteland Beast?"

Xiao Chen tensed up when he heard the news about the Dragon Heart Grass. He didn't pay much attention to Su Diguo's words and quickly said, "I don't know the details either. Grandpa used to kill many fifth-class Wasteland Beasts, but some time ago, he came back with the body of a Pi Xiu beast. His whole body is purple, his eyes are blue, and he can't walk steadily. He said that he was accidentally poisoned and asked me to immediately go to a big city to find Dragon Heart Grass. If he doesn't come back within three years, he will die. Patriarch Su, where do you find the Dragon Heart Grass? Please tell me, Xiao Chen will remember your kindness."

"Oh?"

Su Diguo's eyes narrowed instantly, and the three elders looked at each other with bright lights in their eyes.

He was totally fine even after killing so many fifth-class Wasteland Beasts? His entire body was covered in dark purple eyes? This was the same symptom when people had been poisoned by Pi Xiu beast in the historical records.

Those who could kill a fifth-class Wasteland Beast were at least in the Violet Elephant Realm, or even higher. This explained why Xiao Chen was so talented. After all, an ordinary person couldn't cultivate such an abnormal genius.

Su Diguo made up his mind. He took a sip of the tea that Granny Liu handed him and said slowly, "Xiao Chen, I am dozens of years older than you, so I just call you nephew Xiao. I sympathize with what happened to your grandfather. I do have news about the Dragon Heart Grass, but I am not sure if I can get it yet. This morning, the news came that someone found a treasure land on Broken Soul Cliff in the west of the Killing God Tribe, and there are five rare spiritual herbs in it, one of which is Dragon Heart Grass."

"Broken Soul Cliff?"

When Xiao Chen heard this, he stood up and immediately began to pack up, looking like he was going to leave. Su Diguo and the others frowned. Was this a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers? Or was he a fool?

"Nephew Xiao!"

Su Diguo waved his hand and stopped Xiao Chen's action. He asked with a serious face, "Nephew, are you going to Broken Soul Cliff to find Dragon Heart Grass now?"

Xiao Chen nodded earnestly. At the same time, he saluted him and said, "Thank you for the news, Patriarch Su. I promise I'll reward you handsomely in the future."

"You child!"

Su Diguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed, "Nephew Xiao, do you know where the Broken Soul Cliff is? Do you know how precious those five herbs are? Do you know how powerful the Wasteland Beast guarding those five herbs is? I can guarantee that even if you can escape the Yue Family's assassination attempt, you will not be able to obtain Dragon Heart Grass even if you go to the Broken Soul Cliff."

Xiao Chen was stunned, and then he said with a determined face, "Yes, I can. I have to try, even if I have to die. Da Huang, let's go!"

Xiao Chen packed up his simple luggage, shouted at the big yellow dog, and was about to turn around and walk outside. Su Diguo and the others were completely speechless. In their hearts, Xiao Chen was obviously not a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, but a fool with a one-track mind.

"Xiao Chen!"

Su Diguo stood up and said in a low voice, "Among the five spiritual herbs, the Dragon Heart Grass is not the most precious one. The most precious one is a 1,000-year-old Nine-Immortal Ganoderma, and the Wasteland Beast guarding the spiritual herb is a peak sixth-class Wasteland Beast, a Double-headed Blue Scale Python. Not to mention you, even if your grandfather went, he might not be able to kill it! No...in the whole Killing God Tribe, except for the Sha Family, no one can get it. Moreover, at this moment, the Patriarch of the Sha Family has led countless experts there in person. When you arrive at the Broken Soul Cliff, the spiritual herb will have already fallen into the Patriarch. And you can never get the Dragon by yourself."

"The Sha Family?"

Xiao Chen stopped, with a hint of obscure disgust on his face. It seemed that he did not like the Sha Family very much, or he did not want to have anything to do with it.

His expression sank, and he pondered for a moment before his eyes glistened brightly. He stared at Su Diguo and said, "Patriarch Su, how confident are you in obtaining Dragon Heart Grass? How long will it take?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Chen's black and white eyes suddenly sparkled with light that could see through everything. As soon as he asked, he hit the nail on the head. This made Su Diguo very uncomfortable. Wasn't he a stupid idiot? Why was he thinking so fast at this moment?

Su Diguo lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then seriously said, "Eighty percent! Half a year!"

Xiao Chen nodded and put down the package. He looked at Su Diguo calmly and said, "In addition to joining your Su Family, you can ask for anything else! Of course, if I find out that you are fooling me, I will kill you."

Xiao Chen's tone was still very calm, unlike his appearance and age. The coldness and threat in his words were not like that of a young man at all, but like that of a cold master, a master who could destroy the Su Family.

This tone made Su Diguo and the three elders very unhappy, and it made Granny Liu frown. However, Su Diguo inexplicably felt at this moment that Xiao Chen was not lying, and he seemed to really have the ability to kill himself.

Su Diguo despised Xiao Chen inwardly. At this moment, he raised Xiao Chen to an equal position. He threw out the condition that he had already thought of. "It's very simple. I just want to protect the Su Family, and I must destroy the Yue Family to frighten the Xue Family. I will do my best to help you get the Dragon Heart Grass. I only hope that you and your grandfather can help our Su Family avoid this disaster."

"Deal!" Xiao Chen nodded straightforwardly.

The three elders looked at each other hesitantly. "Will Xiao Chen trick them instead? His grandfather is seriously injured. His talent is not bad, but his strength is barely passable. Helping the Su Family to deal with the Yue family is such a big deal, and he naturally can't do anything. It all depends on his grandfather's opinion. Why did he agree so decisively?"

Su Diguo was slightly hesitant as well, and he went silent for a moment before he said, "Nephew Xiao, do you think we should report this matter to your grandfather? Besides that, your grandfather is in the Great Wasteland by himself and has been poisoned at this moment. The Great Wasteland was filled with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. And I could send someone with you to bring your grandfather over. So long as your grandfather agrees, I'll do everything in my power to help him obtain the Dragon Heart Grass even if sells the Su Residence."

The reason why Su Diguo came here in person was that he wanted Xiao Chen to invite his grandfather to the Su Family, intimidate the Xue Family and the Yue Family, and then try his best to get the Dragon Heart Grass and borrow Xiao Chen's grandfather's hand to get rid of the Yue Family. In this way, the crisis of the Su Family would be completely resolved.

"No need!"

Xiao Chen's reply disappointed everyone. He said firmly, "My grandfather is very safe in the Great Wasteland, and I will certainly do what I promised. Of course... my grandfather will not object. If I lie, I, Xiao Chen will die a terrible death."

Xiao Chen's expression was firm and unyielding. Su Diguo looked at the three elders and nodded helplessly. Su Diguo's face was also firm, and he said in a low voice, "Well, during this time, you can stay in the Su Family at ease. If you need anything, tell Granny Liu. I will get Dragon Heart Grass for you as soon as possible."

...

Su Diguo and the others left quickly, but Granny Liu stayed. She looked at Xiao Chen for a while and finally said with a long sigh, "Child, there is something that I should not say, but I know that you are a good child. If I don't say it, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Xiao Chen looked at Granny Liu suspiciously, took her hand and said with a smile, "Granny Liu, if you feel that it's not right, don't say it."

Granny Liu shook her head and swept her gaze outside before lowering her voice, "Child, actually your decision was wrong. Granny suggests that you leave the Su Family and find another way to search for the Dragon Heart Grass. With your natural talent, you can totally seek refuge in the Sha Family and exchange for the Dragon Heart Grass. If you stay in the Su Family... you might even lose your life. The Su Family is currently in great danger!"

Xiao Chen smiled disapprovingly. "Very dangerous? How dangerous?"

"Alas..."

Granny Liu said with a bitter face, "This morning, Childe Xue Chuihua went to the Yue Family. It is said that he was accompanied by two elders of the Xue Family and... an envoy of the Sha Family. It is very obvious that Xue Chuihua is going to marry Yue Mei'er. Once the two families united by marriage, the Su Family will suffer a catastrophe. You offended Yue Fusheng, and you would die. The Su Family is rich, but the Dragon Heart Grass will definitely be obtained by the Sha Family. The Su Family is no shortage of money, so...the patriarch only has a 50% chance of getting the Dragon Heart Grass, while the possibility of you dying in the Su Family is as high as 90%. Granny suggests that you leave immediately at night."

Xiao Chen lowered his head and fell silent. After a moment, he raised his head and smiled. He shook his head and said, "Granny, I won't leave! Who will protect you after I leave? You are the first person who treats me so well since I left the Great Wasteland. I won't let anyone hurt you. Moreover, Patriarch Su is right. Even if I leave, it will be difficult for me to get Dragon Heart Grass by myself. I want to wait for half a year."

Looking at Xiao Chen's pure eyes, Granny Liu was moved. She wiped her tears and said, "Child, why are you so stupid? You can join the Sha Family. At worst, when you get the Dragon Heart Grass, you can ask your grandfather to negotiate with them to leave."

" the Sha Family?"

Xiao Chen's expression became unnatural when he heard this. He shook his head very firmly and said, "No! I won't join the Sha Family! I would rather join the Su Family than the Sha Family."

Granny Liu asked in surprise, "Why? Do you have a feud with him?"

Xiao Chen's eyes turned blank. He shook his head and said, "There's no hatred between us. I just don't like it. It's annoying."
