I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 789 Of Course I Know Him
"Ruoxuan, Ruoxi, where have you guys been?" Just as the two sisters were buried in their respective thoughts, a sweet voice called out to them.
"Tongxin, you're here. We were just..." Qin Ruoxi was about to tell Su Tongxin what had happened earlier instinctively, but she was signaled by Qin Ruoxuan to keep it a secret. Qin Ruoxi came to her senses just in time and did not tell Su Tongxin the truth. "Oh nothing, we were just enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean out here!" she said.
Su Tongxin smiled softly and nodded. "We were sent by my godfather to negotiate with the King of the Realm here. I know that it isn't an easy task, and it can be quite mundane too. Despite that, I think we have to obey godfather's words and avoid moving around as we please!" said Su Tongxin.
"Alright, Tongxin. By the way, the sedatives which I've asked my friend to get for you have arrived. You always get serious headaches late at night. I heard that there are some unique herbs here in this world which are good for relieving such pain; I've asked my men to collect all of them for you!" Qin Ruoxuan changed the subject immediately, using those expensive and unique herbs she asked her men to buy as an excuse to divert her attention. At the same time, she was rather curious about Su Tongxin, and asked cautiously, "Speaking of which, Tongxin, are you familiar with this world?"
Su Tongxin's origin is a mystery. She doesn't know any cultivation skills, but she is quite a smart person. She used to serve alongside grandmother, who trusted her very much. Later on, father took her in as his goddaughter, and she became the main representative for negotiations, Qin Ruoxuan thought to herself.
To be honest, she was slightly jealous of Su Tongxin; she felt that she was better than the latter in terms of experience, appearance and ability.
She used to be grandmother's servant; what's so special about that?
Why do I have to listen to her orders?
Besides, it seems like a powerful guy from Earth is also in love with her!
I suppose the rumor is true after all; Su Tongxin is indeed from Earth.
"Eh? I'm not familiar with this world. But, how should I put it? Although I am new to this world, I feel that this place is rather familiar at the same time. Especially whenever I come here, my heart will often pound rapidly for no reason. I don't even know why!"
Su Tongxin looked up and gazed at the distant, deep ocean worriedly.
She did not know what was happening to her.
She could not remember anything from her childhood-not even a single memory from her past.
However, the figure of a man would always appear in her mind late at night.
The man did not appear to be strong or muscular, and his figure was slightly blurred around the edges.
Even so, Su Tongxin could feel his affection for her clearly.
Who is this man?
Especially whenever she came down to Earth, it seemed that the particular voice deep down in her heart got louder!
A figure leaped from the distant sky onto the deck when the three girls were sitting in silence.
"Miss Su, Miss Ruoxi and Miss Ruoxuan, my master is organizing a national banquet in South Yue. All of you are invited to join us," said the servant.
"Alright, please send our gratitude to your master. We'll be on our way to the banquet as soon as we're done packing!" Su Tongxin agreed with a nod.
"Ah!"
Meanwhile, a cry of agony and grief broke through the entire Tuoba Family.
When Tuoba Zhen, the Head of the Tuoba Family, saw the heavily mutilated body of his son, he fainted several times. He was hysterical, and he was filled with extreme grief.
The Tuoba Family had several thousand years of legacy with a profound background. There were also many experts serving the family.
As a result, the family members were very arrogant and liked to do whatever they pleased most of the time.
However, Tuoba Zhen had never imagined such misfortune to befall his son this time.
At the banquet held in the National VIP Hall, Tuoba Zhen caressed his son's body as he was overwhelmed with sorrow, hatred and anger. Seeing him grieving over his son, everyone was smart enough to stay away from Tuoba Zhen.
"Who killed my son?" Tuoba Zhen asked while his body was trembling violently.
"Tribal Lord Tuoba Zhen, it was Chen Hao who killed your son, the one whom the Chen Family has been looking for everywhere!" Chen Ling answered in fear.
"Chen Hao? Chen Hao!" Suddenly, Tuoba Zhen's eyes turned crimson red with fury and a murderous look crossed his eyes.
There was a middle-aged man seated at the side. The well-dressed man was a member of the royal family.
"Tuoba Zhen, please accept my condolences on the passing of your son. I will send a team of my men to capture Chen Hao immediately. I shall order him to be brutally tortured to avenge my nephew!" the middle-aged man shouted.
"No, my Tuoba Family will hunt him down, cut him to pieces, eat his flesh and drink his blood!" Tuoba Zhen bellowed as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"With just the two of you fools, do you think that you are able to capture Chen Hao? It is no wonder your son met such a violent death. Besides, judging by his temper, Chen Hao will replace you first even if you don't replace him! Hehe! That foolish kid, he must be blinded by rage now, killing all those people and using all these tricks to lure me out! Therefore, the Tuoba Family cannot escape him either! Besides, you guys are like a bunch of useless, defenseless little bugs before him, completely powerless against his attacks!" Suddenly, an elderly man in a black cloak walked slowly out from behind the curtains in the National VIP Hall.
"Ah! Tribal Lord C-Chen Diancang!" Chen Ling broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the elderly man. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the man in fear.
Even Tuoba Zhen and an aristocrat like Lord Liang were terrified when they saw the elderly man, who suddenly appeared before them. Both of them greeted him with utmost respect.
"State Advisor, why... why would you say that?" Tuoba Zhen asked with grief.
"Because I am one of the very few people in the world who understands him the most!" As he spoke, the elderly man slowly removed his black cloak.
If Chen Hao was here, he would be very shocked to see the elderly man.
Indeed, the man was none other than Chen Diancang. He was Chen Hao's grandfather, the person whom he used to respect very much.
Of course, reality proved that the man was no longer his grandfather, but a mastermind behind all the incidents that happened.
Especially now, the current Chen Diancang had a pair of crimson red eyes. His lips were in a horrifying shade of dark purple, and there was a strange red marking on his forehead. With a half-human half- demon look, the man appeared freakish and sinister.
"Hehe! As a part of my grand plan, I pretended to be his grandfather for a period of time. I put on my best mask, disguised myself as his loving grandfather and used him. At the same time, I let him grow and mature gradually. It's like growing a seedling myself; I watched it grow day by day with my own eyes and witnessed it bloom and bear fruit. Finally, just as I was about to pluck its fruit, a little accident occurred! That's all. Like I said, I know him very well!" Chen Diancang smiled faintly.
"Eh? Is Chen Hao the product of the Infant Essence of Nine Colors which appeared over twenty years ago? It was an unusual occurrence of a natural phenomenon that prompted investigations from different parties around the world," said Tuoba Zhen in shock.
Lord Liang, who stood at the side, took a deep breath and said, "As the State Advisor mentioned before, the Infant Essence of Nine Colors-also known as the Essence of Nine Cycles-is the strongest energy in the world. Whoever obtains the energy will have eternal life. Over fifty years ago, State Advisor, you saved a fisherman couple and gave them a large amount of wealth just to get the Infant Essence of Nine Colors, which would soon descend on their grandchildren. Since Chen Hao is so powerful, I suppose he has the Infant Essence of Nine Colors?"
"That's right. Mara had also bestowed me the power to foresee everything. In order to have it all to myself, I had to perfect my plan and make sure the entire plan was flawless enough to avoid any trouble. However, I didn't expect someone to help him secretly during the process, which almost ruined my whole plan!" Chen Diancang could not help but clench his fists tightly when he thought about it...
