Chapter 40 :

Just as the two sisters were sighing in their hearts, Old man Long Ye came back with a green bamboo slip in the palms of his hand. At first glance, it looks extremely tasteless and of no worth but everyone vaguely felt there was a kind of secret hidden in it.

From time to time, one can see a golden light as thin as the tip of a needle randomly passing through the whole slip but if someone focused for a while, he may discover there is actually a pattern for the golden light's path, quite the complicated one that will only repeat after thousands of random turns and circles.

But that's it. As the son and daughters of the Two great power, there are countless treasures and rare resources that they have seen in their daily life, even Emperor level armament can be touched in family's forbidden lands.

So, even if this thing looks like something of great value, it's far from enough to be put in their eyes but still thinking if Su Yang has asked for it, it must have some special use and following their gaze, they looked at Su Yang's side, who was trembling with excitement for some reason.

No, it wasn't that he was trembling but there was something in his body that was pulling itself towards that bamboo slip, it was the sword that he had 'borrowed' from Lin Tian.

And after injecting it with a part of his own soul fragments, it has more or less become a part of Su Yang, though there is still some time before this soul fragments completely crystallizes into a new sword spirit.

However, the current link is more than enough to let him feel changes in sword and since the sword reacted this strongly for the first time, it caught him off guard and just for a moment, his emotions were overwhelmed by the sword's own emotions.

It may be due to the fact that the sword was in his Spatial ring all this time that it was only triggered when the Bamboo slip came in a certain range of it otherwise he might have sensed the anomaly a long time ago.

At this moment, his heart was still pounding crazily and he seems to have made up his mind, no matter what kind of opportunity is hidden in this slip, he must get it at all cost.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang instantly put away his excited expression and walked to Long Ye's side before he could reach him and slowly retracted the slip from his hands.

The moment, his hand touched the slip, Only he seemed to have formed an illusory connection with a certain someone at a very far away place and both of them seemed to look at each other's location at the same moment.

Though this kind of feeling lasted for a very short time, subconsciously he still wanted to ask the person's origins but found out that this was his illusion and nothing more than that. He hasn't seen the person's face or any details but mistakenly made up a mediating figure in his mind from this strange feeling.

As soon as this feeling ended, Su Yang wanted to bring out his sword to check if he can simulate this bamboo slip's inheritance or hidden information but suddenly the bamboo slip shattered into countless fragments and flooded in his mind, instantly merging with his soul, and the fusion was so perfect that no one distinguish if there was a change in his soul.

[ The source of all living things is within Qing ].

At the same time, a cold and ethereal voice sounded in his mind that was indistinguishable if it belonged to a man or woman but the content hidden in the mere words shocked Su Yang.

Naturally, Su Yang wasn't interested in this Qing or whatever but his attention was solely pulled by the words, 'Source of all living things'. Isn't this indirectly implying to something equivalent to ancestor or maybe creator of this world ?

Being closer to the creator of the Human realm is equivalent to owning the entire Human in his pockets. Although, it doesn't mean everything in this world will belong to him but the illusory laws governing all over the world can be basically ignored by him.

No wonder, Heavenly Dao doesn't want him to get this opportunity because once he gets the inheritance of the residual power of the creator of the Human realm then the backlash from killing Protagonists within the influence of the human realm can be easily ignored.

For others it might become a secret life-saving card but for Su Yang it has no other meaning than being a tool to easily kill the protagonist.

Of course, it's not easy to find the person who has the source of all living beings within him/her, he must have special means to hide and it's more difficult to find that person with a surname alone. There must be countless people within the entire Human realm, mortals and cultivators that have the surname Qing.

Su Yang himself wasn't in a hurry to find this person, one can imagine by virtue of identity alone how terrifying this person must be in strength.

" Brother !! Brother !! " Su Ling and Mu Lanyin looked at him anxiously and pointed to his eyes. " What's wrong with your eyes ? "

" My eyes ? " Su Yang put his hands in front of his eyes and murmured, he couldn't feel anything wrong with them as he took out a mirror from his ring to see his reflection in it and after a moment, his gaze was locked into it.

The abyss-like black eyes have an auspicious pattern emerging between them, it was a Taichi Yin-Yang circle with a fish on each half.

" Enchantment ? " Su Yang thought for a moment, it seems like his soul deity out of instincts must have used some kind of protective measures against that piece of bamboo slip but after a few seconds he shook his head in a helpless manner.

It doesn't look like that but a kind of trait manifesting after something unknown was simulated inside him and he can even control whether to permanently manifest it or not.

Was it....

" The ability to recognise the person with the source of all living things. "

Even though, he had expected it Su Yang's heart was still shocked by this discovery. The bamboo slip at most was treated as a clue by him but it still has such magical means, it's really different from what he originally thinks.

At some point Mu Lanyin was standing next to him, lightly biting her lower lips, in heart she felt worried because of the unknown effect of the bamboo slip, Su Yang looked at her Mu Lanyin with ten thousand good feelings in his heart. It was her who asked him to go out today and indirectly helped in gaining such good fortune.

Suddenly, he reached out with both of his hands and hugging in his arms he directly held her in the air.

" Wait ! ahh..." Mu Lanyin was slightly caught off guard and gave a soft cry but Su Yang quieted her down saying.

" Thanks to you Sister Lan, I gained good fortune today. "

Listening to his praise, Mu Lanyin also felt happy for some reason and with a smile on her face, she mustered some courage and asked.

" Then, can I ask for a reward ? "

" Of course, You can ask for a request. "

Su Yang put her down with a faint smile on his face and naturally nodded.

Mu Lanyin held the hems of her skirt and took a deep breath, exhaled in a soft tone. " Next time, we go out to play. I don't want outsiders to disturb us at every turn. I just want to play with you and sister Ling. "

Hearing this, Su Yang's mouth arched into a more bigger smile and after pretending to be thoughtful for a while, he agreed.

" This is no big deal. How about it we go somewhere you are the absolute master ? This way, no one can come out to disturb us at any moment. "

" Do you really want to visit 'Confucius Sect' ?"

" Yes. But there are some things I need to do before we leave. " There are currently two Protagonists under Su Yang's watch and he wants to solve them before leaving for a while and he has a hunch after he leaves this time, his destination must have another Protagonist on the opposite side.

" Hehehe... "

Mu Lanyin laughed happily and jumped in the hall with joy while Su Ling looked at everything in daze, the dull atmosphere was brought up in an instant It felt so unreal. More importantly, Su Yang wants to go outside is a big issue, it seems she needs to do some preparation if she also wants to go outside with him to play for a while.

Picking a tea cup, Su Yang brought it closer to his mouth and began thinking about Su Chen's situation.

The older brother is always under the surveillance of his mother's subordinate, reaching foundation establishment without anyone's knowledge is already an impossible thing, not to mention only after missing for several months, he broke through the golden core middle stages. What kind of joke is this ? Su Yang himself is one of the most enchanting geniuses in the history of cultivation but someone actually jumped in front of him and achieved a result similar to his more than 10 years of hard work in just a few months.

No matter, how you look at this it clearly looks like a scam someone deliberately made to deceive him, unless... That person is a reincarnation of an Emperor who has mysterious means to fool everyone while the second possibility is the sudden awakening of a system who will promote extremely fast paced growth.

Judging from his reckless temperament it's obvious that he had nothing to do with an Emperor in his previous life, the latter guess about the system also perfectly fit in his case as no one has actually seen Su Chen practicing in the past few months but his cultivation base is ascending at an astonishing rate.

And at this time, Su Yang's gaze was locked on his figure on the way to Su family land and he silently muttered in his heart.

" Protagonist of a system stream ? Dealing with this guy might be a bit troublesome. " Then he took a deep breath and a smile gradually formed on the corner of his lips, "But this is also good, after all if this guy has only awakened some Hidden physique or got a special treasure he wasn't worthy to be my 'elder brother'. Playing with a system cheat is also a kind of experience for my fast growth. "

Saying so his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light and excitement was vividly written on his face.

Su Yang asked himself after taking the role of a Villian does he have the choice to pick the protagonist he wants to deal with ? Obviously No !! So, it's better to just stick with his villain's role and kill whoever comes in his way.

The only thing he is worried about is what kind of system has binded to his brother, what abilities it currently possesses or are there any secret cards in the back-up plans ? The overall capability of the system can be said to be quite good from the fact that it only took less than half a year to push a waste to the level of a peerless genius.

Just as he was about to think of how to torture his brother and acquire his golden finger, a communication stone in his Spatial ring shine with a bright golden light and a male's domineering voice startled him out of no where.

" Su Yang, Take Mu Lanyin and Mo Xi with you and come to my palace, there are some important matters that we need to discuss today. "

The speaker was his own father Su Hao who must have called him for some official work. After all, how is it possible for the saintess and Holy son of two Holy land to come in their territory just to congratulate him for turning Eighteen.

The birthday banquet or so like since ancient times had always been a medium for people to open up with their potential partners and do business, so is the case with Mo Xi and his Demon Destroying spear sect. It's just they are a little late but the formal work can still be done in his father's palace and it must be the reason why his father will bother to disturb his first trip outside his palace.

" Alright. I will be there in a short while. " Su Yang replied without any hesitation and lit down the communication stone.

Not many people know that Su Hao who acts like a docile cat only in front of his mother is actually a person with strict rules and punctual nature And who knows if he will use this kind of small excuse to show dissatisfaction for Su Yang by intentionally making some things difficult.

After all, it was his own sudden breakthrough in cultivation that led to his mother leaving for his maternal grandfather's house a bit earlier than the stipulated time and taking in account there individuals lifespan is more than 100,000 years, for Su Hao & Long Yue the current period of time is no different from newlyweds with a marriage that is only less than 50 years old.

So, no matter how much his father loves him, because of this single cause he is bound to have some resentment against him. If Su Hao can explain his children's birth then he can definitely say, the parents are true love and every child including Su Yang is just a mistake, still the Kind that happened too early.

Thinking of this Su Yang also had some headache, he still needs to find a way to deviate his father's attention from his mother's departure otherwise Protagonist might not be able to kill him but the labour and management work his father will impose on him will definitely take his life.

"Two sisters, my father has asked for our presence, Today I am afraid we need to go back home a little earlier." Su Yang looked at two overly enthusiastic fairies beside him and said with a sullen face.

No way !! his Daddy is an Emperor rank cultivator and being a little bit late might result with a swollen face and bruised nose. Although Su Yang is sure he will definitely not be beaten by his father in any case, he still doesn't want to take the risk of getting late.

After all, Su Hao can steal the most important figure from the western Dynasty and make her his wife by almost declaring war against the whole world. Beating... Educating his already well-behaved son might not be that unexpected.

"What ??" The expression of two Sisters changed in an instant and after realising their play time is already over a disappointed feeling suddenly took over their heart.

But they have already developed a sense of obedience to their father/uncle's orders since childhood and immediately urged Su Yang to go back as soon as possible and left the Heaven's Auction house.

....

2 hours later, In Su Hao's study room several young and old people are sitting around a round table enthusiastically chatting about some important and some trivial matters.

Most of these people belong to the Su Family while the minority belongs to the people who came from 'Confucius Sect' and 'Demon Destroying spear sect'.

" It has been a long time since the Emperor called the Crown prince, why didn't he arrive till now ? "

" Are you an idiot ? It's the first time for Little Yang to set foot outside our family land, it's obvious he will be attracted by the sights and will be delayed for a little while. So, instead of showing dissatisfaction you might as well take a quick nap. "

" That's right. Saintess Mu Lanyin and Holy son Mo Xi are also with our prince, he must be busy with showing them around. "

" By the way a little while ago I felt someone had provoked Heavenly Punishment and it wasn't far from the property that the Chu family has given to Little Yang, Has anyone investigated this matter ? " The speaker is a beauty with an elegant and noble aura but wearing a blood red dress she looks like the embodiment of killing dao itself. Sitting right next to Su Hao is also implying her status is barely below him and is his biological twin-sister Su Mei, nickname 'Female Shura'.

It didn't take a moment before her younger brother Su Ming who had a scholar-like look sitting opposite her reply in a clean and unhurried tone. "Eldest Sister, I have already sent seniors from 'Sky-Net' at the scene and it is expected that the investigation result will come before the night falls. But I think this matter is not as complex as we might be thinking because... " Saying so he also has some hesitation on his face.

" Why do you look like that ? Tell me, clearly what exactly happened ? " Su Hao who was staying silent all this time also asked with an annoyed face.

" After dispelling that Heavenly punishment little Yang's guardian immediately reported back to me and according to him, My eldest nephew was spotted around Heaven's Auction House and has a small conflict with the Holy son Mo Xi and even the early stages of the golden core cultivation base was vaguely revealed by him."

" Although, the conflict was immediately resolved by our little Yang but the eldest nephew seems to have made a knot in his heart and left with an angry expression. " After explaining the matter, Su Ming was also silent because the next words he was going to say are a taboo in the family and everyone is an adult here and even without him saying they will understand the meaning.

It didn't take a moment but everyone sitting on the chairs felt like somebody had pierced their heart with tens of thousands of sharp needles. The information revealed by Su Ming was actually pretty clear, the waste eldest nephew had shown marvelous talent but at the same time, the bad luck he excluded had also grown to the point it can attract such a terrifying phenomenon for the people he hates.

In one sentence, it clearly means those who oppose me will die. However remembering those who have followed him has also not prospered either but eventually died a more brutal death, everyone felt more and more terrible and suddenly a thought came in their mind, this evil star can't be kept in the family anymore Otherwise who knows what kind of disaster they will face in the future.

" Su Ming, The waste who can only run like a dog just from one glare of his younger sibling is not worthy of the status of being our nephew, not to mention hating family members in the Su Family is a serious crime. In the future, all of you old and young people bear in your mind whoever will help him in doing such reckless things again will be personally dealt by me. " Su Mei's voice was firm and her decision was resolute and she was direct in saying she is playing sides with Su Yang and is opposed to others approach towards Su Chen.

**Crack crack**

However at this moment, someone pushed open the door and walked in the room with an ugly face.
