"Holy crap, Shen Rui, you actually know to come see your dad?"

Kumu quickly pulled his hand out from under the maid's skirt, placed the maid aside, and then got up to greet the guest.

"Go to hell, Kumu, are you asking for a beating?"

Ku Mu grinned and patted Shen Rui on the shoulder, speaking as if he were a treacherous minister.

"Shen Rui, I heard you went to see Su Cheng?"

"Hmm, almost there."

"Stop bragging. That bastard from Sucheng is practically disabled now, almost?"

"Yeah, I was careless, and he got away."

Kumu started making sarcastic remarks with a smile. Were we careless?

You're saying that Superman wanted to kill a primary school student, but then he got careless and let the student get away, right?

That was really careless!

"Oh, right, right, you were careless."

"The situation in the inner city is very complicated right now. The Scorching Heart Palace and the Dawn Palace are under a lot of pressure and are calling you back."

Kumu:? ? ? ?

Kumu was dumbfounded: "Do you even want to listen to what you're saying? What do I care about Chaoxia Palace and Zhuoxin Palace? They're under a lot of pressure, so I'm going to sing them a song to relieve their stress?"

“The young master is now practically powerless. Powerful forces both inside and outside the palace are eyeing him covetously. His authority is divided between the Fuyue Palace (Execution Blade) and the Chaoxia Palace, making him almost a puppet. This is not what I want to see.”

Ku Mu was even more confused. What the hell does this have to do with you, Shen Rui?

You said you were going to kill Su Cheng, and Ku Mu could understand that. Everyone in Su Cheng's ditch wanted to kill him.

but......

"I'm not trying to be mean, but the young master is a blood relative of Su Cheng. Both Chaoxia Palace and Fuyue Palace are tied to Su Cheng. How could they possibly harm the young master?"

The Fuyue Hall is the blade of execution; it is directly under Xiao Ai's command, equivalent to an assassin department directly under the royal authority—it's a true Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard)!

The Chaoxia Palace is even more extraordinary. Compared to Xiao Ai, she is Su Cheng's aunt and the Queen's sister!

They're all family, what right do you, Shen Rui, have to meddle in other people's business?

"As long as Su Cheng lives, the young master will always be the young master. Do you really think those two would be interested in the young master?"

"...But I won't help. Su Cheng and I are buddies!"

"I know, I just came here to have a drink with you."

Ku Mu smiled. To be honest, this kind of thing is usually something only his wife, the big fox, would care about.

Him? He doesn't care that much about who is the superior.

"Didn't you bring two women with your brother?"

Shen Rui pursed his lips, hung his dark blue long military coat on the back of the chair, and then poured himself a glass of wine.

"You know, I don't have any women around me."

"No? Shen Rui, you're not getting any younger, it's time to find someone."

"You're out of things to talk about, huh?"

"No, Shen Rui, are you impotent? Your brother can think of a way! I heard the other day, you know that bearded guy in charge of logistics? I heard his daughter is incredibly beautiful, with huge breasts, you know? If you like her, little brother..."

Shen Rui was speechless...

"Kumu, do you know that when I first joined the army, my goal was to kill all the villains like you who bully men and women..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't slander me! I didn't bully any men!"

Shen Rui didn't care. Although the old lecher was always acting carefree, his power was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the old lecher wasn't exactly a bully; at least he wouldn't prey on girls from ordinary families, and most of those girls were cheapskates who clung to him willingly.

"I have a wife."

"What are you showing off for? I have one too!" Ku Mu rolled his eyes. His wife was universally acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in the world!

"...You fucking bastard, I'm getting more and more eager to punch you!"

"Hehe, alright, enough nonsense. The things are all prepared. Just don't let Xiao Ai see them, or that girl will come and annoy me again."

"Then I thank Brother Kumu."

Shen Rui waved his hand, and then two men in black armor entered the house and took the huge box that the combat maid had brought up.

"So you're really going to make a move against Su Cheng? This thing might not be able to suppress Zero Two."

"To be honest, Sucheng isn't that difficult, but Xiao Ai has been watching closely, and I need to be able to deal with Zero Two's suppressive weapons."

“You forgot, Xun Ye’s spatial control is also in his hands.”

To be honest, whether this thing can suppress Zero-Two is still an unknown.

As is widely known, authority cannot be suppressed by any special ability; this is the rule, a unique rule of authority.

The only way to counterbalance the power of authority is through another authority.

Shen Rui can handle the authority of protection, but the world-destroying authority Zero Two, which originally belonged to Su Cheng, is a tricky problem, not to mention that Xiao Ai also has the spatial authority that originally belonged to Xun Ye.

"I haven't forgotten, but for many things, someone has to take the first step. Su Cheng is gone, so someone has to take his place, right?"

Kumu thought for a moment and then spoke.

Who do you want to sit in that seat?

"Su Lin".

"You really dare to say that? You killed her brother so she could secure her position?"

"As long as Su Cheng is alive, she will never be able to hold onto this position."

"Now that Su Cheng is dead, she probably won't care about any position anymore, and there will likely be even more people eyeing her."

The conversation didn't end there, but the two stopped talking about that topic and instead discussed past anecdotes and recent work.

On the other side, Lingxian Palace.

"Jue'er, go and settle the newly initiated disciples. Shiyao, go and remind everyone that the matter of Master must not be spread outside Lingxian Palace!"
