Chapter 98 Brother, where did you go last night?
At this moment, in a superior room of an inn in Snow Crystal City.
Feng Huaijin had been sitting by the bedside all night.
It wasn't until a sliver of white appeared on the horizon that he seemed to wake from a dream and slowly looked out the window.
It's dawn, why hasn't my brother come back yet?
He looked away and lowered his head, stroking the communication stone in his hand and looking at the somewhat worn belt wrapped around his arm, trying to suppress the anxiety and violence spreading in his heart.
You must wait patiently for your injuries to heal before you can pursue your brother as a suitor and become his partner.
Why isn't my brother back yet?
When the man surnamed Wen returned, he said nothing had happened. His brother only mentioned in his message that he was delayed last night and couldn't come back, but he didn't say what exactly happened.
It's dawn, time to come back.
I really want to go find my brother.
But you have to listen.
Feng Huaijin lowered his eyes, raised his left arm, and pressed his slightly cool lips, filled with fervent devotion, against the belt wrapped around his waist.
Come back soon...
The Xue family at this time.
After the fall of the Xue family patriarch, the highest level of the remaining demonic cultivators was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Su Yu could easily defeat them, and killing the unconscious Xue family patriarch in their hands would not be difficult.
He clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking to himself that the younger generation of the Xue family was not very capable. No wonder the Xue family patriarch insisted on trapping Jingdian and using its power.
He diligently and thoroughly wrecked the Xue family's house, even recording it with a photographic stone for Jingdian as evidence of his work. He planned to give it to Jingdian as a souvenir later.
After all, he got along quite well with Jingdian, and he was actually quite annoyed to hear these demons calling him a vile scoundrel.
Holding the miniature version of Jingdian, who was severely injured and unconscious due to the backlash from the dissolution of the contract, Su Yu first quickly froze the Xue family building, and then snapped her fingers.
Everything was reduced to fragments.
This includes the Xue family's dream of maintaining their family status by exploiting Jingdian.
In fact, quite a few Xue family demons are still alive, but their cultivation has been destroyed, which Su Yu deliberately left behind.
They will have to bear the consequences of losing Crystal Peak's support.
However, Su Yu had left marks on them all, so if Jing Dian wanted to vent his anger after waking up, he could still kill them.
After resolving the matter, Su Yu checked his disguise again to ensure that no trace of his own demonic nature was revealed, and that his demonic aura was completely concealed.
With the Xue family making such a big commotion, many demons outside had already come to investigate.
After a moment's thought, Su Yu warned and frightened the group of Xue family survivors who were like startled quails, then pushed them towards the gate. He then silently teleported away with Jing Dian and returned to Ghost Market.
He placed Jingdian inside the Demon Gathering Array to ensure it had enough demonic energy to heal its injuries. After exchanging a few words with Zhao Si, Su Yu quietly returned to the inn.
It was almost noon by then.
The Xue family was almost wiped out by Jingdian and him. Xuejing City will always be in chaos for a while, after all, other families still need to divide the spoils and investigate the so-called murderer.
But this is truly the perfect opportunity for the Ghost Market to take control of Snow Crystal City.
Su Yu was in a good mood. After returning, she found the window of the upper room she had booked earlier and nimbly climbed through the window.
A dark, shadowy figure, emanating from its entire body, stood eerily beside the bed.
Su Yu: !!!
He stumbled as he climbed out of the window, but luckily he managed to grab the frame and steady himself.
He sat on the windowsill and leaned out to recount the windows.
The fifth room from the left.
I didn't climb through the wrong window; this is his room, isn't it?
"...Twelve? You, you woke up pretty early today, haha..." Oh, no, it's almost noon.
The young demon beside the bed stirred. He quickly walked a few steps to Su Yu and reached out his hand.
Su Yu paused for a moment, then understood.
This is one of the little drawbacks of growing up together: you can always understand what the other person means even when you don't want to, and you can never hide anything from them.
However, there were still things he didn't understand, such as why Feng Twelve always felt it was dangerous for such a large demon to sit by the window. With their current cultivation levels, even if they fell, they wouldn't die.
However, Su Yu still went along with Feng Huaijin's wishes. At present, Feng Huaijin's status in his eyes was still that of a younger brother, not a suitor, and Su Yu was happy to fulfill some of his younger brother's small requests.
So Su Yu naturally placed her hand on Feng Huaijin's outstretched palm, letting him pull her down from the window.
"Brother, where did you go last night?"
Feng Huaijin held Su Yu's wrist and asked in a low voice, still appearing calm and composed.
Su Yu: "..."
The words Jingdian had spoken flashed through his mind at an inopportune moment.
Staying out all night, alone in an empty room...
Damn it, why does he feel guilty?
The room booking was clearly for one person per room! Where did this "alone in an empty room" come from?!
Su Yu felt something was wrong. He was clearly the eldest brother, and he had already told Twelve in advance yesterday that he wouldn't be going back that night.
But maybe, or perhaps, the reason wasn't mentioned...
“I went out to do serious business last night,” Su Yu said seriously. “I didn’t stay away on purpose.”
He went to great lengths to help Crystal Peak, all for the purpose of obtaining various materials from Snow Crystal Peak, then using them to heal Twelve's injuries and enhance their strength.
This is definitely important business!
“Yes, thank you for your hard work, brother,” Feng Huaijin stepped forward, getting closer to Su Yu. “But next time, please take me with you.”
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then began to reflect on herself.
Indeed, Twelve had been unhappy for a long time about leaving Twelve, the demon, to handle his affairs, but this time he still went by himself without thinking.
As children grow up, it's not good to always protect them. They have to go through trials and tribulations. For example, when he left the Demon Realm, Twelve was still doing well on his own. So, facing some dangers together with him isn't a big deal. After all, Twelve is also a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he's not weak at all...
No, but Twelve is injured now. What hardships can an injured person endure? Isn't this abuse?
Su Yu's expression turned serious, and he adopted the authority of an elder brother, reprimanding, "I know you're worried about my hard work, but you're injured, and you're still thinking about doing dangerous things. What if something happens? Besides, it's just a small matter that took a little while to handle; it's not really hard work. Also, do you remember when you went to find the Bloodstone and your wound got even worse? If you're injured, you should rest and recuperate. Why are you trying to be brave? I can protect you, and you'll be fine. Just focus on healing. I will definitely heal you..."
Hearing this, the smile that had been playing on Feng Huaijin's face froze. Although he appreciated his brother's concern, however…
Guilt? Compromise? Gentle reassurance?
Is this tactic of feigning weakness no longer working?
Su Yu was unaware that Feng Huaijin was doubting him; he was simply basking in the authority of his elder brother.
"So how long did you wait?"
“I’ve always been here… Brother!” Feng Huaijin was so engrossed in his brother’s care that he was completely unguarded around Su Yu and was caught off guard when she tricked him into revealing his secrets.
"You've been waiting, haven't you?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow, grabbed Feng Huaijin's wrist, and led him to the bedside. "Then get some sleep now. I'll stay by your side. Are you relieved now?"
