In the hall.

Silence descended once more.

Liu Hong glanced at Su Yu out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly smiled and said, “Su Yu, I’ve seen many newcomers, but few are as interesting as you. Your previous plan was actually quite well done, I almost fell for it…”

“Thank you for the compliment, Teacher!”

Su Yu also smiled, unafraid of a smiling contest!

To be honest, his current fondness for smiling has something to do with Liu Hong, he learned it from him.

A smile on the face, who knows what kind of mischief is brewing in the heart.

This was the first lesson Liu Hong taught him, and Su Yu hadn’t forgotten it. This guy’s radiant smile charmed many girls.

Liu Hong looked at him, feeling a bit awkward.

Unable to resist, he cleared his throat and said, “Um… don’t smile, it makes me uncomfortable, like I’m looking in a mirror. When I was younger, I was quite similar to you.”

Su Yu wanted to laugh, but held it back.

I’ll grant your wish!

Liu Hong sighed and looked at Su Yu again, slowly saying, “Su Yu, you came to me this time to get back those merit points?”

Having reached this point, Su Yu naturally wouldn’t hide anything and directly said, “I wouldn’t dare. After all, Teacher Liu also took on some risks. If you give me half, I’ll be satisfied!”

As he spoke, he added, “If Teacher needs it, give me one-third… It’s not a big deal for me, I’m just feeling a bit aggrieved. After all, I put a lot of effort into this plan!”

Liu Hong chuckled.

He didn’t speak, as if contemplating something.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Su Yu and fell silent.

After what seemed like a long time, he suddenly said, “You’re stronger than Bai Feng!”

“…”

Su Yu didn’t know how to respond, he couldn’t take that bait.

“What? Scared?”

“Teacher is joking. My teacher is one of the unparalleled geniuses of our time, defeating a 9th level Soaring with a single strike at the 7th level. I’m no match for him.”

“Hahaha!”

Liu Hong laughed heartily, amused, “You’re not being honest!”

After laughing for a while, Liu Hong seemed to have figured something out and exhaled lightly, “Su Yu, if you don’t mind, let me say a few words.”

“Teacher, please speak!”

Su Yu maintained a respectful posture, his attitude had to be good, even if he wanted to stab him to death right now, he had to keep smiling.

Stabbing him to death with a smile!

“I came from a small aristocratic family, not too strong, but with some influence. I’m not a direct descendant, just born out of wedlock…”

Liu Hong fell into reminiscence, and after a long time, slowly said, “When I was young, I suffered just like you, maybe even more! Born out of wedlock… do you know what that means?”

Su Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, “A stepchild?”

“…”

Liu Hong really wanted to complain, but after a while, he smiled wryly and nodded, “That’s about right! That’s what it means. My mother was my father’s concubine. My brothers, so-called, were worse than strangers. My father and grandfather only valued the direct descendants, while Liu He and I… lived like dependents, treated no better than servants!”

Su Yu frowned and said, “Lord Xia once said that the Great Xia Prefecture no longer practices concubinage, so why…”

“Lord Xia is just Lord Xia, just talk!” Liu Hong said indifferently, “In this world, men enlist in the army and countless die every year, there are even more women than men. If they aren’t strong and don’t produce, and we really do what Lord Xia said, one wife per man, many women would lose their support.”

“Lord Xia, at times, isn’t suited for governance, just acting on a whim.”

Liu Hong criticized him, then quickly continued, “Let me finish.”

“I was born out of wedlock, so even if I had talent as a child, the family didn’t value me too much. The reason I embarked on the path of a Civilization Master was because I met a good person…”

Liu Hong fell into reminiscence, “16 years ago, when I was still in middle school, I met an old man. He was my mentor in the path of civilization, he taught me the languages of the myriad races, he opened my path to divine runes, he taught me many, many things!”

“It was he who gave me the means to enter the Civilization Academy, the qualifications to reach where I am today. In my heart, he was my teacher who imparted knowledge, he had the grace of re-creation towards me!”

Su Yu listened, vaguely… feeling a sense of familiarity.

This… sounds like he’s talking about himself.

Liu Wenyan!

A slightly dazed feeling.

Liu Hong continued, “Under the guidance of the old man, I excelled and was admitted to the Civilization Academy! On the day I was admitted to the Civilization Academy… the old man passed away. I was in great pain, regret, and even wanted to give up enrollment…”

Liu Hong was in pain, his eyes reddened, and he sighed softly, “Before his death, he told me not to give up, to keep going! To fulfill his last wish, to go to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, to complete the work he had not finished!”

“At that time, I didn’t understand…”

Liu Hong looked bitter, “Until I entered the Civilization Academy and somehow joined the Single Divine Rune faction… One day, another old man found me and told me that my mentor was his close friend, one of the most important members of his faction, one of the leaders of the past!”

“The old man who came to me was shocked that I had joined the Single Divine Rune faction, and soon made a decision to have me leave the Single Divine Rune faction, but I was no longer a newcomer who knew nothing. I knew… it was difficult for him! It was very, very difficult for his faction!”

Su Yu’s heart stirred slightly, feeling strange.

“So, I told him that I wanted to stay in the Single Divine Rune faction, that I wanted to become a nail in the Single Divine Rune faction for his faction!”

“The old man was unwilling, he was an upright man, he disdained using such methods, but I was different, I had suffered, I had lost. The old man was too open and honest, a gentleman like him was suited for research, but not for expanding a faction!”

“His faction was suppressed, oppressed, and was even on the verge of extinction!”

Liu Hong gritted his teeth and said, “His faction was also the faction of my mentor, the unfinished business of my teacher, his last wish, was all to make this faction grow and regain its glory!”
“No matter what, I won’t just stand by and watch this lineage be destroyed, its inheritance cut off, and the last hope of my teacher dashed!”

“…”

Su Yu’s expression changed repeatedly as he looked at him.

Liu Hong regained his composure, “So, from then on, I took root in the Single Divine Script lineage. I want to become stronger, only when I am strong do I have a voice! Only when I am strong can I fight for more things! Only when I am strong can I protect that lineage!”

“Now, I am at the eighth level of Soaring. I need to reach the Ascending Clouds realm, as soon as possible. Soaring is nothing, only Ascending Clouds, and even Mountains and Seas, can enter the real upper echelons!”

Liu Hong looked at Su Yu, his eyes burning.

“Su Yu, I want to become stronger! I need more merit points! Do you… understand what I mean?”

Su Yu’s expression was extremely strange at this moment. After a long while, he said in a low voice, “Are you suggesting… an undercover agent?”

Liu Hong sighed softly, “You are a smart man. If it were Bai Feng or Chen Yong, I would never tell them this in my life. You are different. I see hope in you!”

Liu Hong said bitterly, “Undercover… maybe! I myself am almost forgetting this identity. You’re right, the old man who came to the academy to find me back then was your great-grandfather, Pavilion Elder Hong Tan!”

“And my teacher in the academy was one of the group who were expelled 50 years ago, just like your teacher Liu Wenyuan in Nan Yuan. He was also an outcast, but he wasn’t as lucky as Old Liu. He never even reached the Soaring realm in his entire life and died, leaving behind countless regrets!”

Liu Hong gave a self-deprecating smile, “To be honest, I’ve even felt desperate these years, wanting to give up, forget everything, and pursue my own Single Divine Script path. Here, I also have a Mountains and Seas realm teacher. Mountains and Seas… is very powerful! My teacher wasn’t even in the Soaring realm! He only taught me for a few years. Do I really have to fulfill his last wish?”

“The goal that batch of geniuses fifty years ago couldn’t achieve, am I, a mediocre person, going to complete it?”

Liu Hong became increasingly bitter, “Today, seeing you, I seem to see myself back then, foolishly carrying great ambitions, wanting to accomplish everything. In reality… in the end, we will still feel our own insignificance!”

“…”

At this moment, Su Yu was already shocked beyond words!

Undercover agent?

Is this guy from the Multiple Divine Script lineage?

A similar experience to his own, being taught by a genius of the Multiple Divine Script lineage in a middle-level academy, and then entering the academy, but not joining the Multiple Divine Script lineage, accidentally joining the Single Divine Script lineage instead.

Hong Tan discovered him, but he was unwilling to leave again, choosing to lie dormant in the Single Divine Script lineage!

Su Yu’s mouth was dry!

“You… do you have any evidence…”

“Evidence?”

Liu Hong chuckled, “Why would I use this to deceive you? Speaking of evidence…”

Liu Hong hesitated for a moment, then said softly, “You didn’t really think I wanted to plot against you when you picked up the 《Shattering Heavens Strike》, did you? Using something worth several thousand merit points to plot against a small novice student like you?”

Su Yu’s body trembled slightly!

“I was just looking for an excuse to give it to you on purpose!”

Liu Hong sighed, “Not only that, I’ve also secretly helped you fend off a lot of trouble. Otherwise, after you nourished your nature, someone would have come looking for trouble with you long ago. I had Liu He step forward, saying he would teach you a lesson, so those people were blocked!”

“Your senior sister Wu Jia was seriously injured, and I was worried you would follow in her footsteps, so I’ve been stopping them from attacking you!”

“Does that fool Bai Feng even know how to manage? The research center, I actually support him with a batch of supplies every month, but he’s completely oblivious and always thinks the academy sent them. What an idiot!”

Liu Hong looked at Su Yu and smiled, “If these aren’t enough, then I’ll say a few more things. Inside the Wen Tan Research Center, there’s a Suanni, a Fire Crow…”

He listed all the living demon races and smiled, “These are all things Old Hong told me when we were chatting casually back then. If it weren’t for that, no one from your side could enter, how would I know?”

Su Yu swallowed hard, looking at him in a daze.

Self-study?

I’ll be damned!

Liu Hong sighed softly, “Don’t look at me like that. Actually, sometimes I forget my original intention. Calling it lying dormant is actually a bit lost. Maybe… the Single Divine Script lineage is really more suitable for me. The current situation of the Multiple Divine Script lineage is truly indescribable.”

“Until you enrolled!”

His eyes lit up, excitedly saying, “I suddenly saw hope. I suddenly felt that the Multiple Divine Script lineage, which has been dormant for so many years, should have some vitality! You have brought me too many surprises!”

Su Yu was a little embarrassed, forcing himself to remain calm, his throat a little dry as he said, “That… teacher, you really… really are…”

“It’s normal to be skeptical. It’s right not to trust anyone easily!”

Liu Hong smiled, “I admire you for this. The bastards of the Myriad Races Sect are even better at deceiving people! Actually, whether it is or isn’t… why make it so clear?”

He sighed with emotion.

“To say something from the bottom of my heart, if… the Multiple Divine Script lineage can’t hold on anymore, if it really can’t be revived, then… I’ll be a member of the Single Divine Script lineage for the rest of my life. I also need to survive. Su Yu, you might think I’m very shameless… but I need to live on!”

Su Yu was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, “Teacher, I can understand!”

(Please turn to the next page for more content.)

“Hopefully!”

Liu Hong smiled, “Actually, I don’t care about other people’s opinions, living as myself is enough! Today, I really spoke from the heart. Seeing you, I seem to see myself back then. We’re too similar. Old Liu… he probably has the same expectations for you as my teacher did for me!”

Su Yu nodded slightly, and couldn’t help but think of Liu Wenyuan.

In his eyes, there was a bit of longing.

Liu Hong glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and smiled, “Work hard! You did very well this time. Also, I won’t admit these words outside. It’s all just rumors you spread. Everything should be as it was before!”
Having said that, he said seriously: “I took 40,000 of the 80,000 merit points, and the rest went to Zheng Yunhui! I was worried that you would get too much, attracting the attention of some people. Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. I want to enter Lingyun as soon as possible and need a treasure that is quite valuable…”

“Now that you’re here, I, Liu Hong, still have to keep some selfish motives. Su Yu, I’ll give you 10,000 merit points. I need the remaining 30,000 to buy a treasure to help me advance! Only when I reach Lingyun will I have enough say to change some things!”

At this moment, Su Yu even wanted to say, “No need!”

But his heart suddenly jumped!

No!

I also need merit points. No, he said he was an undercover… Is he really an undercover?

Su Yu struggled a bit; he wasn’t sure.

But some things seemed to indicate that Liu Hong might not really be his enemy. Take “Breaking Heaven Killing” for example; although it brought out Zheng Yunhui, it really was invaluable.

Su Yu struggled for a moment, looked at Liu Hong with some uncertainty and confusion.

Should I believe him?

Liu Hong seemed to know he was struggling, and smiled: “I said, I’ll forget these words after I say them! You don’t need to take it too seriously. I hope you don’t become the next Liu Hong, Su Yu, live the life you want to live!”

“Teacher…”

Su Yu struggled, his voice low: “That… I also need merit points. I… I’m too weak, and I still have my father waiting for me on the battlefield of the heavens…”

“I understand!”

Liu Hong nodded slightly and smiled: “You need merit points, and it’s easier for me to earn merit points. How about this: I’ll give you 15,000 points, and I really need the rest to buy a treasure. Su Yu, when I successfully advance, I’ll return it to you. I’ll return the remaining 25,000 points to you, okay?”

Fifteen thousand!

Su Yu thought about it; it was already a lot.

Adding it to what he already had, that would be 20,000 points!

Even though he was a bit uncertain, Su Yu felt that even if Liu Hong was lying, 15,000 was probably the limit. What if Liu Hong turned hostile if he asked for more?

Nodding with some complexity, Su Yu exhaled: “Okay, Teacher Liu, then… then I’ll accept it. I really need this…”

“Understandable!”

Liu Hong laughed and took out a merit card from his body: “This is an old, unregistered merit card. You can withdraw merit points; 15,000 points, just right…”

Su Yu was a little embarrassed, took the card, hesitated, and said awkwardly: “That… that… can I check the balance?”

“…”

Liu Hong was mentally exhausted. He’d already said so much, and this bastard was still so vigilant.

“Okay, you’re… good!”

Liu Hong smiled: “Vigilance is a good thing!”

Su Yu chuckled, not saying much, and directly checked the card. Fortunately, it really was 15,000 points.

After checking, the two fell silent again.

After a moment, Liu Hong smiled: “Go back, forget everything that happened tonight! Behave as before; I won’t look at you differently in front of outsiders. Liu He will still come looking for trouble, and I will still suppress your faction!”

“You too!”

Liu Hong said in a deep voice: “Just pretend nothing happened, especially don’t say anything to that idiot Bai Feng. That guy… his brain isn’t good!”

Liu Hong said helplessly: “It’s not that I look down on him, but if he knew about this, I’m afraid he would ruin my plans and yours as well. He’s good at making trouble!”

“Got it!”

Su Yu responded, stood up, stepped forward, and went out.

Reaching the door, he hesitated, turned around, and said: “Teacher Liu, your mentor who taught you… can you tell me his name? To die silently in a middle-level academy… the sorrow of our Multi-Divinity faction!”

“You kid…”

Liu Hong chuckled, not minding, and said: “Zhang Ruoling! A teacher at Great Xia Eighteenth Middle Academy, considered a middle-level academy in the suburbs of Great Xia Prefecture, passed away nine years ago. You… you’re pretty good!”

Su Yu gave a dry laugh and stepped away.

I still need to check!

Otherwise, I can’t fully believe it!

…………

After Su Yu left, Liu Hong exhaled lightly. After a long while, he chuckled: “Interesting, this kid. Damn it, I almost fooled myself to deceive you!”

With a sigh, I’m really not easy!

“This is wisdom!”

“Elder Hong doesn’t know when he’ll be back. By the time he finds out, I’ll be in Lingyun, the merit points will be used up, and things will be over… Hehe…”

Liu Hong laughed triumphantly!

I really admire myself!

This lie, only Su Yu would fall for it. If it were my idiot disciple, he would have believed it long ago. Still asking for merit points?

He might even have taken out all his own merit points for me to advance!

“Fifteen thousand!”

Saying that, he still felt a bit of heartache.

If he hadn’t told this lie, he wouldn’t have been able to get rid of Su Yu without 20,000.

At least he saved 5,000 points!

Moreover, this way, Su Yu wouldn’t keep staring at him all the time. To be honest, he was a little apprehensive about being almost tricked by Su Yu this time.

Damn it, this kid was coming for him.

Trying to cheat him out of everything he had!

“Hehe, go check. Elder Hong isn’t here, what you check will be true, tsk!”

Liu Hong laughed again, admiring his own wit!

There really is an Eighteenth Middle Academy, there really is my admission record, there really is Zhang Ruoling, that expelled old man, who really died nine years ago…

These are all true!

As for the fake… of course he wasn’t my mentor who taught me!

Liu Hong curled his lips. He was, after all, from a small family. No matter how Liu Family was, it wasn’t a problem for them to hire a few teachers of Ten Thousand Race languages. If large families were really so stingy, could they produce talent?

There were schools within the family; he was just there for show at the middle academy!

…………

Outside the villa.
Su Yu walked along, still pondering this question.

Was it true or false?

He wasn’t sure at all right now!

“Teacher and Senior Uncle don’t know either?”

“Only Grandmaster knows?”

Su Yu had a headache. Liu Hong’s words had put him in a dilemma.

What if he really was one of us…? What should he do then?

This time, of the 80,000 merit points, he took 20,000, Liu Hong 25,000, Senior Uncle took 14,000, and Zheng Yunhui took 19,000, plus the materials Liu Hong bought for him, adding up to 21,000.

Su Yu actually took the most, adding in Chen Yong’s share, he took 34,000 merit points!

But Liu Hong also ate a lot. If he wasn’t one of us, Su Yu would eventually have to get even.

But if he was one of us… even though Liu Hong said to pretend not to know if he found out, how could he really pretend not to know?

Bearing the burden of humiliation and lurking in the Single Divine Script faction, this… how could he not take it seriously?

…………

Returning to the research center, Su Yu didn’t waste any time and went straight to a small study in the living area.

After rummaging around, Su Yu quickly obtained a list!

“Zhang Ruoling… expelled in the year 300 of the Anping calendar, entered the 18th Intermediate Academy of the Great Xia Prefecture, serving as a Ten Thousand Races Language instructor… died in bed in the year 341 of the Anping calendar…”

There really was such a person!

Soon, Su Yu took out his communication device and dialed a number, saying directly, “Which Intermediate Academy did Liu Hong graduate from?”

“Wait, let me check for you…”

A moment later, Xia Huyou replied, “The 18th Intermediate Academy of the Great Xia Prefecture, what’s wrong?”

“Is he an illegitimate son of the Liu family?”

“Yes!”

Su Yu didn’t ask any further questions. If he asked any more, if it was true, it would easily expose Liu Hong’s identity.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Huyou became interested and asked, “Did you find out something? Also, what exactly happened today? Su Yu, if we’re brothers, can’t you say a few more words?”

Su Yu laughed, “It’s nothing, I made a little money. Huyou, if you want to do business with me, then keep your mouth shut, otherwise… this business might not be done!”

Xia Huyou was a little excited, “Of course! Do you need goods now?”

Excited!

A big deal was coming his way!

Originally, he thought he would have to wait until Su Yu entered the Top 100, or even reached the Soaring realm, to make a big deal, but now… maybe it could happen soon!

Xia Huyou chuckled to himself. No matter how many merit points Su Yu earned, in the end, they would still end up in his hands!

This was what a businessman was!

Doing business, warming up a cold stove was indeed the key to getting rich. Once a person rose up, then you wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink!

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow, it’s not convenient now!”

“Understood!”

After hanging up the communication, Xia Huyou chuckled and clenched his fist, he was going to get rich!

And that kid Zheng Yunhui, he also had money!
