Chapter 25: Heaven and Earth Apart (First Update)

  Looking at Zhao Zhuo's cautious reaction, Su Xiu's face showed a relieved expression. Su Chuanzong slowly walked towards Zhao Zhuo with an air of a celestial being, looking at him lightly and saying: "Little guy, it can be seen that you have obtained great luck in these days, your future achievements will be boundless. Today, you sneaked into the Su Mansion, I'll let you off this time for your mother's sake."

  When he saw Su Chuanzong, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, clearly not expecting the schoolmaster to be a hidden master and also a member of the Su family. However, despite this, Zhao Zhuo still glared fiercely at Su Chuanzong: "What a big tone you have! You must be the one who threatened my mother! Today, even if it means risking my life, I will take my mother away!"

  As they spoke, Zhao Zhuo pounced on Su Chuanzong like a cheetah, but his agile figure appeared to be full of loopholes in Su Chuanzong's eyes. He saw Su Chuanzong lightly stretch out one finger and flick it at Zhao Zhuo's body.

  With a thud, Zhao Zhuo heavily fell to the ground. Although he didn't know what Su Chuanzong had done to him in that instant, Zhao Zhuo was clear that the seemingly harmless old man's strength was absolutely far superior to his own. With just a raise of his hand or a lift of his foot, he could have been injured. However, Zhao Zhuo would never admit defeat so easily.

  His eyes caught the worried look in Su Xiu's eyes, and Zhao Zhuo seemed to fill his whole body with strength in an instant. With a loud slap on the ground, he pounced towards Su Chuanzong again.

  But the gap between Zhao Zhuo and Su Chuanzong was fundamentally a difference of heaven and earth, and with one move, Zhao Zhuo fell to the ground once again.

  Time and time again, Zhao Zhuo fell to the ground, his body covered in mud like a muddy man, but he always got back up and launched another charge at Su Chuanzong. His attacking skills gradually became more refined and sophisticated, but no matter how fast Zhao Zhuo progressed, it was impossible to ignore the enormous gap between their cultivation levels. An ordinary cultivator like him couldn't compare to someone who had already condensed a law body.

  For some reason, Su Xiu watched Zhao Zhuo fall down again and again, although her eyes were filled with painful expressions, she didn't stop Zhao Zhuo anymore. Instead, as she saw his progress, a relieved expression appeared in her eyes.

  Su Chuanzong seemed to be pointing at Zhao Shuo, without any impatience. It was Su Xiu who finally couldn't bear it and spoke up: "Enough, Second Brother, now you know why Mother can't leave with you, right?"

  He looked at Su Xiu in surprise, but Su Chuanzong, who was standing with his back to him, didn't say anything. Zhao Shuo, who was lying in the mud, felt so useless that he couldn't even muster up any resistance in front of Su Chuanzong. Not to mention Su Chuanzong's strength, no one dared to say whether there were more powerful people in the Su family. No wonder his mother didn't want to leave with him together.

  At this moment, Zhao Zhuo hated himself for his poor cultivation. If he had possessed great power, who could have stopped him from rescuing Su Xiu?

  His entire body submerged in water, Zhao Zhuo's hands clenched into fists, his fingers digging deep into his palms as fresh blood seeped out. Slowly, he stood up and gazed at Su Xiu with a resolute expression in his eyes. With a thud, he knelt down before Su Xiu, gritting his teeth as he said: "I am unfilial, unable to rescue Mother, but I swear to Heaven that one day, I will take you away using my own strength, and no one, not even the strongest in the world, can stop me."

  "After saying this, Zhao Zhuo suddenly stood up and stared at Su Chuanzong with a big laugh: 'Everyone listen to me, mother will stay for now. If I find out that anyone dares to hurt my mother in the slightest, I will retaliate a thousand times over.'"

  Looking at Zhao Zhuo's back, although weak, but at this moment in Su Xiu's heart it was like a high and unattainable mountain.

  Suddenly Su Xiu said: "Su Er, remember, except for your siblings, do not trust anyone else. If you cannot reach the Dao King stage in your cultivation, do not come to see me again, otherwise... otherwise I will no longer have a son like you!"

  Zhao Duo clenched his fist, Su Xiu's words were like a knife that pierced him painfully, and a drop of fresh blood fell. Suddenly, Zhao Duo let out a loud laugh towards the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the rain curtain.

  Looking at the blood color that was gradually fading away in the rainwater, Su Xiu suddenly said: "Old ancestor, did Xiuer do something wrong?"

  Su Chuanzong sighed: "I didn't expect this kid to have such a good fate. In the past, I thought he was weak and timid, but I didn't expect him to be so hot-blooded. What you did is also for his own good, hoping that one day he will understand your kindness."

  Su Xiu gazed in the direction Zhao Zhuo had left, her eyes filled with worried expression: "I only hope he won't suffer from this setback and take a wrong path!"

  Leaving Su's mansion, the long street was empty and deserted. The heavy rain poured down from the sky as if a part of it had been torn away, drenching Zhao Zhuo's body. For a moment, the world seemed vast and boundless, and Zhao Zhuo felt as though he had nowhere to go.

  Without bringing Su Xiu back, Zhao Zhuo also had no face to return and see Zhao Feng and Zhao Luan, looking around in dismay, his heart filled with despair.

  "Little brother, isn't getting rained on in the heavy rain a kind of enjoyment?"

  A magnetic voice came, Zhao Zhuo was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound. At a glance, Zhao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. Just a few feet away from him, an ordinary-looking man with an unusual aura all over his body was leisurely drinking wine in the tavern, as if he had noticed Zhao Zhuo's gaze.

  The man slowly raised his head and revealed a brilliant smile to Zhao Zhuo, and in an instant, that brilliant smile seemed to bloom in Zhao Zhuo's heart, dispelling the gloom.

  With a sudden movement, Zhao Zhuo walked up to the man's side in big strides, sat down without any courtesy, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it down. Instantly, a fiery sensation flowed through his entire body, stimulating Zhao Zhuo to exclaim loudly: "Good wine!"

  A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and the man laughed loudly: "Refreshing, let's have another!"

  The two of them didn't have much conversation, they just kept drinking bowl after bowl of wine. The man's wine gourd wasn't big, but the wine inside seemed endless. They drank dozens of bowls, and the volume was probably ten or more times that of the gourd. Needless to say, this wine gourd was also a rare treasure.

  As if to use strong liquor to forget troubles and worries, Zhao Zhuo poured bowl after bowl, his eyes gradually becoming blurry, dizzily saying: "Uncle, cheers!"

  When Zhao Zhuang called him "Uncle", the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and a happy smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth. He chuckled and said: "This kid, I'll be Uncle then, am I that old?"
