Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 774: Bidding Reason Farewell (3)

Su Yu only knew those close to him, but his father knew a lot more people. In fact, almost everyone in Nanyuan knew Su Long. As far as the locals knew, Su Long\'s son seemed to have obtained something incredible. As a result, he was schemed against by villains and forced to leave. And these outsiders were here to snatch what he found. For the locals, these outsiders were no different than thieves.

Since Great Xia was not willing to kill them, the locals were using their own ways to get these people killed. Thus, these elderlies started using their lives to get some young geniuses killed. This was already a common practice here.

After a short silence, Su Yu said, "The people here sure are crazy."

"Damn right." Brother Huang gloomily said, "Some newcomers were clueless and allowed the locals to ram into them. Guess what happened to those people. Just keep an eye out when you\'re here. No matter what, we\'re within Great Xia. If you create trouble, they won\'t mind killing you to warn the others."

Brother Huang was speaking from the perspective of an outsider. But Su Yu only got one thing from that. Some locals had died. They had died because of him. It didn\'t matter how old these people were or how weak they were. It also didn\'t matter if they did so for the pride of Nanyuan. Su Yu only knew that they had died because of him.

Lives were lost.

Su Yu\'s feelings turned complicated. In truth, he didn\'t mind all these outsiders here. He knew very well that there was no ruin here. He was only here to visit his house and those close to him. But when he heard that some of the locals had died...he suddenly developed an intense hatred toward these outsiders.

For the locals, these people were thieves. How could they waltz in and take something that belonged to Nanyuan? Meanwhile, the outsiders all believed that anyone who found the ruin was entitled to it. If Su Yu could benefit from it, why couldn\'t they benefit from it as well? The ruin was left by the ancient humans, not his family. As both parties were viewing things from different perspectives, they viewed things differently.

Su Yu stopped thinking. His smile returned as he looked at Xia Bing and said, "Sir, I\'m Su Yu\'s friend. I already have the mayor\'s permission to visit Su Yu\'s house. Can you let me through?"

Xia Bing looked at him coldly and asked, "Cui Lang of Great Ming? Sure, you may enter. But Huang He, you\'re not allowed to enter."

Brother Huang stiffened. Fine. So be it. Su Yu smiled and entered the neighborhood.

As he walked, he muttered, "So which block is it?"

Xia Bing did not answer, but Huang He answered, "Unit 302 of Block 4..."

"Got it."

Some of the neighborhood elderlies were chatting idly with each other when they noticed the newcomer. All of them stopped talking and gazed at him coldly. Su Yu smiled and ignored them.

When he reached his block, he still had the same smile on his face. But anger was raging in his heart. Someone was inside his house. Some outsiders had intruded upon his house! When he went upstairs, he noted that the door of his house was left half-opened.

He laughed and said, "Has someone arrived before me?"

Soon, the individuals in the house looked at him. They were surprised to see him.

Su Yu didn\'t know them as none of them was a familiar face. But one of them looked like a government servant of Great Xia. That person asked, "Who are you?"

"Cui Lang of Great Ming."

Su Yu took a look at his house and flashed them a wide smile, "Why is the place in such a mess? What are you guys doing? This is the house of my brother, Su Yu. I\'m here to clean the place for him. What am I supposed to tell him when he learns that you guys have turned his house into such a mess?"

"Su Yu?"

The outsiders looked at him. Some of them were youngsters and some of them were middle-aged individuals. The government servant said, "Cui Lang? You know Su Yu?"

"Cough, cough, yes, definitely. We\'re friends."

Excluding Su Yu, there were five people in the house. Apart from the government servant, there was a young man, a young woman, a middle-aged man, and a middle-aged woman.

The young man finally recalled who Cui Lang was. He smiled and said, "I remember this name. You\'re related to the previous director of Great Tang\'s Talent Fostering Bureau, right?"

That reminded the others who Cui Lang was.

Su Yu smiled, "Looks like I\'m quite famous. Who are you?"

"Zhou Hongbo of the Knowledge Seeking Academy."

"Liu Han of the War Shrine Academy."

"Wow. You\'re from the two holy lands. I am honored to be in your presence."

Su Yu stepped through the door and looked around. The couch in the living room had been damaged. Many of the plates in the kitchen had also been damaged.

When he stepped into his bedroom, he had to try really hard to suppress his anger. He crouched down and picked up a photo frame. That was a picture of him and his father. With the same smile on his face, he turned around and asked, "Did a robbery happen here? Why is it so messy?"

The government servant sighed and said, "A few days ago, some people lured the guards away before breaking in. But there is nothing here. It would have been discovered long ago otherwise. You guys refused to believe me when I told you, but look. Even the expert who had sneaked in here didn\'t find anything."

Su Yu said, "This is a private property. It belongs to my brother, Su Yu. Why are you intruding without permission? Is Great Xia freely allowing this to happen?"

The government servant merely shrugged and smiled without saying anything. These people were from the two holy lands. Nobody wanted to offend them.

Zhou Hongbo smiled and said, "You misunderstand us, Brother Cui. We\'re only here to try our luck at finding the person who had broken into this house. We\'re basically here to catch the thief for Su Yu."

Su Yu nodded, "I see. So did you find anything?"

"No. That person is quite strong..."

"Is this all those from the two holy lands are capable of?" Su Yu laughed, "Looks like I have overestimated you people."

Zhou Hongbo did not let that comment provoke him. He said, "It\'s not so easy. Someone capable of luring the guards away before breaking in is probably as strong as a Sunmoon."

"True."

Su Yu took a look at his messy house again before smiling. His beautiful childhood. During his previous return, his house had been the same. But this time, everything changed. If his father returned and saw this, he would probably have a hard time recognizing that this was his own home.

Su Yu still remembered how he used to make the house messy when he was a young boy. Every time that happened, the burly and coarse father would always clean the house with great care, as though he was taking care of the most precious thing in his life.

That old apron that his father had used for many years was now left on the floor, as though it was some dirty rag.

When Zhou Hongbo saw Su Yu placing the photo frame on the bedside cabinet, he asked, "Director Sun, can we have a talk with Su Long?"

The middle-aged government servant shook his head, "No. Su Long is serving in the army. No outsiders can meet him."

"How regretful."

The youth shot the middle-aged man beside him a glance. The middle-aged man said, "Hasn\'t Su Long been reassigned to the headquarters? We can find him there. We need to find out if there is really a ruin in Nanyuan as soon as possible if we don\'t want more chaos here..."

"You have to ask the marquis about that." Director Sun said, "I can let you check this house, but I can\'t make the choice to take you to Su Long. That is up to the marquis."

The people from the holy lands frowned. Marquis Xia was a very troublesome person.

At this time, Su Yu smiled, "Everyone, you\'ve already seen all you can see here. It doesn\'t matter if I\'m really Su Yu\'s friend. No matter what, this is my excuse to be here. Can you move out and let me clean this place? By doing this, I might be able to use this as an excuse to get close to Su Yu in the future. Don\'t get in my way."

Zhou Hongbo smiled and said, "Sure. We won\'t be disturbing you, Brother Cui."

There was nothing else to see here. Staying was pointless. They then walked away with smiles on their faces. Even after everyone left, Su Yu maintained the smile on his face. His willpower spread out as he started cleaning the house. He even hummed as he worked, looking as though he was in a good mood.

After a while, he entered his bedroom again. There, he carefully wiped the footprint on the photo of him and his father. He gathered every footprint and speck of dust found in the house.

This was his house. It wasn\'t a place people could enter as they pleased. Not only had they entered without permission, but they had even reduced it into such a mess. That wasn\'t appropriate. And they had even stepped on the photo of him and his father. Were they blind?

Su Yu walked to the window and looked at the group that had just arrived downstairs. A smile formed on his face. Even the two holy lands were tempted? And Great Xia was offering the service of showing people his house? Were they charging for this service?

Who was Director Sun? Was this his idea or was this Xia Xiao\'er\'s idea? Was his house a place just anyone could enter? Did they not need to ask for the owner\'s permission? The owner was still alive, not dead!

Downstairs, Zhou Hongbo looked back and noticed Su Yu gazing at them behind the window. He even waved at them with a smile.

Zhou Hongbo also smiled before transmitting his voice to the middle-aged man beside him, "Teacher, is this Cui Lang related to Su Yu?"

"He\'s the unofficial student of Niu Baidao. He might have met Su Yu before. As for their relationship...what manner of relationship could they have?"

The middle-aged man was sure that Cui Lang was lying. It was clear that Cui Lang was full of lies. Zhou Hongbo nodded and tossed the matter to the back of his mind.

After Su Yu was done cleaning the room, he smiled. With a handful of dust in his palm, he said to the furball, "Eat this. Memorize the smell for me."

"Don\'t wanna..."

The little furball refused.

No way. This was not food! So dirty!

"If you eat this, I\'ll get you some yummy stuff to eat. Hurry up. Or you won\'t get anything yummy from me anymore."

The little furball was still greatly against this idea. This was unacceptable. That clump of dust smelled terrible. But...Yummy seemed very angry at the moment. He could see that Yummy\'s sea of willpower was roiling intensely. Left with no choice, the little furball could only agree.

Before long, the clump of dust vanished. Inside his sea of willpower, the little furball retched. That was disgusting. He felt like throwing up.

"Will you be able to recognize the smell when we encounter it again?"

"I need to either eat a character or enter the sea of willpower."

"Fine."

Su Yu did not say anything else. That would happen. Whoever it was that had entered his home, damaged his stuff, and stepped on the photo of him and his father, he would not let it go.

It wasn\'t like he was out on a trip to perform acts of kindness. He had been planning to do something. He might as well get started in Nanyuan. These days, it was pointless to stay reasonable.

According to reason, nobody should enter his home without permission. But so what? They had still turned his home into a public toilet that everyone could visit. Thus, he decided to stop being reasonable.
