1584 Chapter 1587, rejecting the invitation
On the cabin, a ray of divine light flashed and said indifferently, “Of course it’s Your Big Brother!”
As a third level heavenly cave abode World Paragon, Xue Lei’s speed was far faster than Su Yu’s.
The butler asked, “Eldest young master, do you also want to return to the clan with us?”
Xue Lei crossed his arms in front of his chest and spread his legs slightly. His eyelids drooped slightly and there was a provocative look in his eyes, he said indifferently, “I bought some valuable items and need to send them back to the clan in time. Therefore, I will use your icefire spaceship!”
The butler said, “It’s okay. We are willing to bring the eldest young master back with us.”
“But I don’t want to go back with you!”Xue Lei’s eyes were sharp as he stared at Su Yu, he said slowly, “Your cultivation is too weak. If you encounter danger on the way, Won’t you be a burden? Therefore, I will borrow the icefire spaceship. As for you, you can use the small boat that I came with!”
He casually threw down an ordinary small boat, which could only accommodate a few people.
The Butler was secretly angry. Xue Lei was obviously taking revenge to save face.
However, Su Yu’s attitude was calm. He jumped onto the flying boat expressionlessly and stood with his hands behind his back. He said calmly, “Butler, you take the helm.”
The Butler felt bitter in his heart. He felt that Xue Yu was not worth it.
However, he understood that the current Xue Lei was looking for an excuse to punish Xue Yu. If he were to confront him head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Suppressing his anger, the butler steered the small boat out of the chaotic stars island.
Xue Lei stared coldly at Su Yu’s back. With a muffled groan, he returned to the cabin.
The icefire ship was extremely fast. It broke through the waves of the sea of constellations and sailed far away from the chaotic stars island in the blink of an eye. It entered an uninhabited and desolate area of the sea.
Night fell.
Several strange small boats sped past and caught up with the icefire ship.
Everyone was dressed in black, masks covering their faces, and shadowless swords hung around their waists.
The leader of the black-clothed people had sharp eyes and ordered in a low voice, “Destroy in one strike!”
The ten black-clothed people took out a pure white feather at the same time.
Lightning flickered within the feather.
They threw it out at the same time, and the feather gathered in the air, turning into a dazzling bird that dived down on the ice and fire ship.
However, there was a shocking roar and the bird exploded violently.
The ice and fire ship was instantly shattered into two pieces and quickly sank into the sea.
“Kill! Don’t leave any survivors!”The leader of the black-clothed men took out the shadowless sword and pounced on the fallen servant to reap his life.
A wave of miserable screams resounded in the dark and cold water.
Bang --
At this moment, a black-clothed man who was flying on the surface of the water was suddenly grabbed by an underwater hand and crushed to death.
The leader of the black-clothed men paid close attention to the surface of the water and immediately noticed that something was wrong. He threw down a white feather.
Boom --
A muffled sound came from below the water. The waves churned and a broken arm surged up along with the waves.
“There’s an expert. Get in the water and kill!”The black-clothed man shouted coldly.
Xiu Xiu Xiu --
Nine black-clothed figures drilled into the water like water birds.
Not long after, the blood churned.
The leader’s expression relaxed slightly until a figure with a broken arm suddenly rushed out of the blood and grabbed his head with lightning speed.
The figure with a broken arm took out a talisman and stuck it on the leader’s forehead. His soul immediately started to flash uncontrollably.
Kacha --
A few breaths later, the figure with a broken arm crushed the leader’s head and threw it into the sea.
He was covered in blood and his body was wet. His long hair and brocade clothes were stuck to his body.
One of his broken arm was covered in blood. His flesh and bones were exposed. It was extremely terrifying.
“Xue Yu! !”Xue Lei gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with viciousness. His chest rose and fell violently as if he was suppressing his extreme anger.
These men in black were here to kill Xue Yu. They mistakenly thought that it was Xue Yu who was on the spaceship!
In the end..
Xue Lei clenched his fists so tightly that they made crackling sounds. He was so aggrieved that he almost went mad. By a stroke of luck, he had become Su Yu’s target!
Looking at the vast and barren sea, Xue Lei roared, “Xue Yu, just you wait!”
On the other side of the sea, the small boat had a safe journey and left the chaotic Star Island safely.
Just as Yang Fan was about to leave, the slightly chubby manager of the Star Pavilion caught up with him and said with an apologetic smile, “Take care, young master Xue!”
Su Yu turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The slightly chubby manager hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Young Master Xue, there’s no need to be afraid. Our Star Pavilion has no record of killing people and stealing goods to snatch back the goods sold!”
“Then who are you?”Su Yu asked.
The slightly chubby manager said solemnly, “Young Master Xue, are you willing to join our Star Pavilion and become an appraiser master?”
Hearing this, the butler beside him was so shocked that he screamed, “An appraiser master of the Star Pavilion? Then, any one of them is an important figure comparable to a clan leader. Young master, he’s so young, yet he’s already received an invitation from the Star Pavilion?”
Throughout the years, the Butler had heard of the appraisers from the Star Pavilion, and he was filled with awe and respect for them.
The Star Pavilion was extremely strict in the selection of appraisers,
every appraiser was a renowned figure who had been famous for a long time. There were many overlords among them, as well as many reclusive seniors.
If not for that, it would be difficult for them to catch the attention of the Star Pavilion.
However, being famous for a long time was the most basic requirement in the selection process.
On top of that, he had to undergo all kinds of abnormal tests. The slightest mistake would result in him being eliminated.
It was rumored that even the emperor of the world had been eliminated.
The strictness of the selection process made one’s hair stand on end.
It was precisely because of this that the appraisers hired were all experts among experts in appraising.
However, the butler found it hard to believe that Su Yu had been invited to join the Star Pavilion.
However, to the Butler’s bewilderment, Su Yu replied without hesitation, “I’m sorry, I was too focused on my martial arts and had no intention of appraising. Goodbye.”
“Hey, Hey, wait! After joining the Star Pavilion, I’ll have the guidance of a master teacher and endless resources to enjoy...”
The plump merchant chased after him, but Su Yu ignored him. Without even turning his head, he set sail into the vast sea of constellations.
The plump merchant stood rooted to the spot in a daze.
He had never thought that someone would reject the invitation of the Star Pavilion.
After returning to the star pavilion, the plump merchant reported the matter to his superior, who reported it to him one by one. Eventually, the matter was relayed to the subordinate pavilion master of the Chaotic Stars Island.
“There’s such a Thing?”The branch master of the Chaotic Stars Island was a white-haired old woman, and she was slightly surprised to hear that, after a moment of silence, she said, “After all, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. A mere young master of the Xue clan is rejected by such a great opportunity. Hehe, forget it. Our Star Pavilion doesn’t care about an appraiser.”
After which, she sent a message to a jade mirror with a respectful tone, “Lord Hu, I have already sent an invitation according to your request, but it has been rejected. This humble servant feels that even though this young man is talented, he is arrogant and unrestrained. He isn’t worthy of being groomed.”
“Please!”A voice sounded from the other end of the jade mirror without any hesitation.
The old lady was taken aback. “This humble servant doesn’t understand. Why are you so insistent on this young man?”
“It is easy to obtain a thousand gold coins, but hard to find a talented person! Go and invite him yourself.”
The old woman said, “Yes, my Lord!”
--
The Butler was shocked until there was no one around, then he said, “Young master, do you know what kind of invitation you have rejected?”
Su Yu said, “I know.”
“Then why are you still?”The Butler was extremely regretful, he wished he could press Su Yu back to plead for mercy and accept this wonderful job.
With such a status, wasn’t he several times stronger than a clan leader?
Su Yu leisurely pointed to the distant boundary between heaven and earth and said, “The human eye is limited, but the world is vast! The farther one looks, the longer the road.”
The Butler was stunned when he heard this. He savoured the words in it and immediately felt that it was profound and profound.
After a long time, he said, “Thank you for your advice, young master! This old slave is the Elephant!”
After a pause, the butler said, “Does this matter need to be reported to the clan leader? When the clan leader finds out about this matter, he will definitely look at young master in a new light. In the future, his life in the clan will be much better.”
Shaking his head, Su Yu said, “Keep it a secret. There is no need to say it. It will only cause more trouble.”
The butler sighed, “I don’t want this, I don’t want that either. Isn’t the second young master too low-key?”?
While feeling regretful, the butler controlled the small boat and headed east.
Twin Star Island was the skeleton of a huge sea beast.
In terms of size, it was twice the size of the island where the Murong clan was located!
On the island, there were more than ten forces of different sizes.
Two of the forces were the most powerful, almost controlling the entire island. The rest of the smaller forces were dependent on the two forces to survive.
One of them was the Xue family, where Xue Yu was located, and the other was the Li family.
The Li family and the Xue family’s ancestors jointly developed this island, and it has been thriving ever since.
However, as the forces of both sides continued to expand, there was eventually friction, and it became more and more intense, until today, it had become an enemy force.
For a thousand years, the Li family discovered an unexplored underwater ruin and obtained many resources. Hence, their development greatly surpassed that of the Xue family.
During the thousand years, the confrontation between the two clans gradually weakened the Xue family.
It was precisely because of this that the Xue family tried their best to find external help, such as the Murong family, who had a marriage alliance.
His return naturally attracted the attention of the Li family.
The Xue family head was also Xue Yu’s biological father, Xue Yuntian, an expert of the first level heavenly cave abode’s World Paragon. He personally led the elders of the family to welcome him.
Seeing that Xue Yu had returned safely, his brows slightly relaxed.
But when he noticed the four elders of the second level heavenly cave abode who were guarding the return of Su Yu, astonishment rose in his heart.
He knew those four people. They were Murong Feng’s trusted aides. They had guarded Murong Feng’s side all year round and would never leave unless there was an urgent matter.
And now, they were escorting Xue Yu back!
Even if they were guarding the map, there was no need to use such a force, right?
How could he understand that Murong Feng had taken a fancy to Xue Yu and didn’t want anything to happen to him? That was why he was so protective of him.
“What a surprise. You actually came back safe and sound. I thought you would be missing an arm or a leg.”A tall man with a face full of pockmarks walked out from the Li family. He was the Li family’s second-ranked young expert, Li Jun., he had the strength of a second-level heavenly cave master.
He had been in love with Murong Qingcheng for a long time and had pestered her for a long time. Unfortunately, the Murong family was close to the Xue family, and he couldn’t get anything out of her no matter how hard he tried.
Therefore, one could imagine how jealous he was of Su Yu.
Su Yu glanced at him. Because she didn’t know him, she chose to be careful with her words and actions, pretending not to hear him and ignoring him.
“Oh? You have a bad temper? Could it be that you’ve become the son-in-law of the Murong Family and feel superior to others? Hehe, who doesn’t know that you were lucky enough to get Miss Murong? In terms of strength and status, who do you think you are?”Li Jun mocked mercilessly in front of the people from the Xue family, in front of the crowd who had come to watch.
The strange thing was that the crowd didn’t react at all. They had such an expression on their faces, as if what he said was natural.
It was clear at a glance what kind of reputation Xue Yu had in the Xue family and on the Twin Stars Island.
Chi --
However, at this moment, a wisp of divine power suppressed it, causing Li Jun’s body to tremble.
It was an elder of the Murong family. He took a step forward and stared at Li Jun with slight disgust. “Young Man, show me some respect! Xue Yu is the son-in-law of the Murong family. I won’t allow an outsider like you to gossip!”
“In terms of talent and status, you are probably not even fit to carry my son-in-law’s shoes!”
His divine power shook and Li Jun was forced back.
