In the back mountain, there is the Su family mansion.
Su Heli raised the teacup, his hands trembling slightly. In the eyes of the Su family, he has always been a calm person. Even when Nanyulou attacked Shanglintian Palace, he was still able to concentrate on his plans and did not take the matter to heart at all. But today, he has already refilled three cups of tea.
It is said that tea can calm people's minds, but Su Heli felt like there was a fire in his heart that was constantly burning.
Butler Su Mingjue walked in from the door and shook his head slightly at Su Heli. Su Heli put down his teacup: "Is it not over yet?"
"Shanglin Palace is now in chaos, with people setting fires everywhere. But except for Chunfeng Tower and Criminal Law Court who have sent people to stop them, everyone else on the third floor and four courtyards seems to have disappeared." Su Mingjue said.
Su Heli shook his head slightly: "Maybe they didn't disappear, they were the ones who set the fire."
"What good will this do for them?" Su Ming was puzzled.
Su Heli shook his hand gently: "It doesn't matter. After tonight, Shanglin Palace may disappear, but it may also be reborn. The only thing I care about now is Su Baiyi. How is he?"
Su Mingjue shook his head: "Su Baiyi's last appearance was before the Nether Prison. He had a fight with Bai He, the deputy owner of Fu Sheng Zuimeng Tower, and then disappeared. There has been no news for a day and a night."
Su Heli stretched out his hand and gripped the back of the chair tightly: "What about Xie Kanhua?"
"After the snow fell, Bai Jile did not go to the Nether Prison, but went directly to Tianshui Tower. Helian Xiyue and the disciples of Chunfeng Tower rushed to the Nether Prison. If Bai Jile was not there, no one could stop him, and it would only be a matter of time before Xie Kanhua was rescued." Su Mingjue replied.
"The prison door of the Nether Prison is impenetrable. It cannot be opened without a key. And I guess Bai Jile must have a backup plan. And Bai Jile went to Tianshui Tower first. Could it be..." Su Heli was shocked, "Is Su Baiyi in Ning Qingcheng?"
Su Mingjue was also shocked, and then he suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
"No, I want to go to Shanglin Palace." Su Heli said in a deep voice.
"Why are you going? They're competing against two masters. What can you, a loser who can't even lift a knife, do?" A disdainful voice suddenly sounded.
"Who!" Su Mingjue turned around suddenly and drew the long sword from his waist.
"How dare you draw your sword against me?" The man in gray robe flashed past Su Mingjue, and Su Mingjue's sword instantly broke into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.
Su Heli raised his head, frowning slightly: "You are..."
The visitor sneered: "Am I so old that you can't recognize me, Thirteenth Brother?"
Su Heli was stunned: "Sixth... Sixth Brother?"
Su Mingjue was shocked and turned around and asked, "Su Jian?"
"Su Mingjue, you just drew your sword against me, and now you are calling me by my real name. What gives you such courage?" Su Jian turned his head and glanced at Su Mingjue.
He just took a look and didn't even move a finger.
Su Mingjue suddenly knelt on the ground, lowered his head heavily, and began to retch.
"Sixth brother, please show mercy!" Su Heli shouted hurriedly.
Su Jian turned his head and looked at Su Heli sitting in the wheelchair, frowning slightly: "When did you break your leg?"
Su Heli sighed and said, "About eight years ago, I suddenly contracted a serious disease..."
Before Su Heli could finish, Su Jian suddenly pointed a finger at him. Su Heli immediately stood up and stepped back. The wheelchair was instantly smashed to pieces by Su Heli's finger. Su Jian sneered, "Your tricks can fool those fools in Shanglin Palace, but you use them to fool me?"
Su Heli panted lightly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "If I wasn't pretending, my life would have been taken by Third Brother just now."
"You took it if you wanted. The Su family has become what it is now in your hands, so it's right for me to kill you." Su Jian snorted coldly.
"It seems that during the time that Third Brother was in the Nether Prison, he still knew everything that happened in the family." Su Heli said with a smile.
"Knowing everything is bullshit. No one can be locked up in the Nether Prison for several years. Even if someone comes in, they will be killed after a few days. But recently I have a cellmate named Xie Kanhua. He told me a lot of interesting things." Su Jian raised his eyebrows. "I heard that Su Han became very powerful later?"
Su Heli felt a slight chill on his back: "No matter how powerful he is, he is already dead."
"I don't want to tell you that anymore." Su Jian waved his hand. "I just want to ask you one question. Where did the things in the Heavenly Secret Box go?"
Su Heli was stunned: "The Heavenly Secret Box is kept in the Xingxiu Courtyard of Shanglin Palace."
"I asked Bai Jile to bring it to me. I got the box first, then drew the key diagram I wrote down that year, and asked him to find someone to make the key for me." Su Jian frowned and said, "But when I got the key and opened the Heavenly Secret Box, it was empty."
Su Heli shook his head and said, "Then I don't know."
"You don't know?" Su Jian gently hooked his hand, and the broken blade on the ground fell into his hand. "As the current head of the Su family, you don't know about this?"
"If you don't know, then you don't know." Su Heli waved his sleeves, and an extremely slender sword was already in his hand. He glared at Su Jian, and his aura changed in an instant.
Su Jian's eyes showed a hint of amusement, and he said faintly: "It turns out that you have been playing the pig to eat the tiger trick by pretending to be a account-settler all these years. I never thought that a waste like you could actually practice martial arts to the level of no return."
Su Heli's robe fluttered as he gently raised his sword. The room was filled with sword energy. He said in a deep voice, "I am indeed not suitable for martial arts training, but I am a disciple of the Su family after all, and I must be in my position and do my job well."
"Very good." Su Jian nodded, "It's no wonder that I call you Thirteenth Brother. But you should also know—"
"Just knowing how to fight is useless to me!"
Su Jian jumped out instantly with the broken blade in his hand, and Su Heli immediately swung out the long sword in his hand.
The two people passed each other.
Su Heli lowered his head slightly, and a bloodstain slowly appeared on his chest.
Su Jian threw the broken blade in his hand to the ground: "If I had slashed upwards just now, your head would have fallen to the ground."
Su Heli smiled bitterly and said, "If you, Third Brother, are willing to fight for our Su family, why would a useless person like me have to practice swordsmanship for decades?"
"I originally fought for the Su family, but those old corrupt officials were too stubborn. Tell me now." Su Jian said sternly, "Where did the things in the Heavenly Secret Box go? Otherwise, no one in the back mountain will survive tonight!"
Su Heli put away his rapier and nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you."
