Su Zhe brought Su Baiyi back to his residence. Although he was respected as the young master, his residence in the underground city was just a remote small building. The building looked very inconspicuous from the outside, but after walking in, he found that the decoration inside was extremely luxurious. The floor was covered with tiger skin, several luminous pearls were inlaid on the wall, and there were several pure gold heaters in the corner. There was also a faint fragrance floating in the air.
Su Zhe noticed Su Baiyi's gaze and said proudly, "I bought this tiger skin last year. It is an extremely rare white tiger skin that is hard to come by. The night-shining pearl was sent by a merchant from the East China Sea. It is a bit dazzling when I sleep at night, so I have to cover it with a black cloth. It is said that any one of them can be exchanged for a dozen shops in the big city. As for the heater, it is a small gadget produced by our Weilong Mountain. The smallest one can be taken away for three hundred taels of gold."
Su Baiyi sniffed and said, "This scent is quite pleasant. I wonder what kind of incense is burning?"
Su Zhe was stunned, then revealed an ambiguous smile. He sat on the bed and clapped his hands. The quilt was lifted up and two charming women in light clothes came out from inside. One put her arms around Su Zhe's waist and the other hooked her arms around Su Zhe's neck. The scene suddenly became extremely sexy.
Su Zhe smiled and said, "I didn't light any incense, it's just beauty fragrance."
Su Baiyi turned his head away awkwardly, only to see Su Yunuo, who was sitting opposite him, raising an eyebrow at him. His face turned even redder, and he lowered his head to look for water to drink.
"You two go out first." Su Zhe said with a smile.
"Oh, okay." Su Baiyi thought they were talking about him and Su Yunuo, and immediately stood up as if relieved.
"Brother Su, you are joking. Why did I ask you to leave?" Su Zhe shook his head and said, "I asked the two beauties to leave first."
The two charming women each put on a long gown, covered their mouths and smiled as they walked past Su Baiyi.
Su Baiyi hurriedly sat down again, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of water, but he choked after it went in his mouth. He didn't expect that the cup was actually filled with wine.
"Rumor has it that Xie Kanhua's successor, Su Baiyi, follows the young master of the Demon Sect and practices the Demon Sect's secret teachings. He is an unforgivable demon. I saw him today." Su Zhe thought for a moment and said, "He is indeed a hidden genius!"
"Master, if you continue to tease him like this, I'm afraid he won't agree to take over your position as Master in the future."
Su Yunuo smiled. "What young master position?"
Su Baiyi was a little confused at first, and now he finally asked, "You don't really know nothing about your identity, do you?"
Su Zhe smiled meaningfully.
Su Baiyi nodded and said, "I might be the son of Su Dianmo, the former Second Palace Master of Shanglin Palace."
"I was very young at the time, and I didn't know everything about this matter. I only knew that after the war, Grand Palace Master Su Han died on the shore of the South China Sea, and Second Palace Master Su Dianmo quietly returned to the back mountain with a baby in his arms. Not long after, he died of his injuries. Even the people in Shanglin Palace didn't know about this. But Second Palace Master Su didn't say who the child belonged to."
Su Zhe carefully looked at Su Baiyi's face and nodded, "You should be the child from that year. Your age is right, and your appearance is somewhat similar to those ancestors of the Su family."
"But if I am Su Dianmo's son, shouldn't I have the surname Su?" Su Baiyi asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"What a joke." Su Zhe suddenly said seriously, "Our Su family owns the Weilong Mountain, which is worth a lot of money! How can a woman marry someone from outside the family? Even if she doesn't marry a man from our family, if she falls in love with someone from another family, then the person from another family can only marry into the family, and the child will take the mother's surname, Su. This has been the rule of our Weilong Mountain Su family for hundreds of years. So no matter who your father is, your surname is Su!"
Su Yunuo nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Su Baiyi felt that hope was getting slimmer and slimmer, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Su Zhe, are you sure your father knows everything?"
Su Zhe thought for a moment and said, "My father was always by the side of the Second Palace Master Su during his last days. Maybe he knows something that we don't."
Weilong Mountain, a small building on the back mountain.
A gray-haired old man dozed off on a throne, listening to the man kneeling below him reporting on what was happening in Wolong Town. He was listless and seemed ready to fall asleep at any moment, but after the man below finished speaking, he stood up and shouted, "What!"
"Master!" another old man who looked like a butler said anxiously.
"Oh." The old man reacted immediately and sat back on the armchair.
The messenger below was stunned and murmured, "Master... Master, your legs are healed? Congratulations, congratulations! I'll go and inform the young master right away!"
"What's good about that!" the old man who had just spoken said angrily, "The master of the family just stood up out of excitement, he can't walk again!"
The old man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my legs are still not good enough..."
The messenger was confused, but he didn't continue talking. He just asked, "Does the owner of the family want to go to Wolong Town?"
The old man stroked his long beard and looked at the old housekeeper beside him: "Ah Hu, what do you think?"
The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "It would be a big fuss if the master went to Wolong Town in person."
"That's right, since the people are already here, there's no need to rush." The old man nodded and said, "Tell that kid Su Zhe that I'm not feeling well and won't be going today. Please take care of the people for me first, and we'll meet when the time is right."
"Yes, sir." The messenger retreated immediately.
"Ah Hu." The old man lay on the armchair, his eyes narrowed slightly, "We have waited for so many years, and he is finally back. Over the years, I sent so many people to look for him, but there was no news. I thought he had died a long time ago."
The housekeeper frowned and said, "Maybe it's not the child from that year, but just a child adopted by Xie Kanhua, who just happens to have the last name Su."
"No. I have a hunch." The old man closed his eyes, "It's him. He is the one we have been waiting for many years."
In the underground city, Su Baiyi sneezed and looked at Su Zhe in confusion, "Revitalize the Su family? Retake Shanglin Palace?"
"Over the years, we are still the masters of Weilong Mountain in name, but we have long lost control of Shanglin Tiangong. Every day, the elders in my family remind me to revive the Su family and take back Tiangong. This is my responsibility as the young master." Su Zhe took a sip of tea, "But I am not suitable for martial arts at all. Now that you are here, this responsibility belongs to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zhe suddenly leaped up, came in front of Su Baiyi, and slapped Su Baiyi.
Su Baiyi felt an incomparably vast internal force surging towards him, and he hurriedly raised his hand to receive it. With a "bang", the two palms collided, and Su Baiyi directly broke through the door of the small building and flew out.
Su Zhe looked at his palm and said in disbelief: "Xie Kanhua's successor, the inheritor of the Demon Sect's martial arts... is that it?"
