1275 The Su Family Secret
The head of the Zhang family smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. You are the first person to dare to talk to me like this."
Lu Yun looked coldly: "I am not your Zhang family and have nothing to do with your Zhang family. In terms of social status, I am equal to you, so why should I be afraid of you?" Wake up, I died early in the morning, and the style of your family is no longer popular now!
The head of the Zhang family had a good temper and was not angry from beginning to end. He asked Lu Yun: "Miss Lu, come here, are you trying to ask me?"
Lu Yun said bluntly: "Yes, I want to ask about my master's affairs. Does the death of my master's parents have something to do with your Zhang family?"
The Zhang family sighed, "I thought I could hide this for the rest of my life."
"But you can't hide it for a lifetime." Lu Yun retorted, "The truth will always come to light."
"I understand, since you want to know what happened back then, I'll tell you to listen to it. Su Muzhe's parents' death is indeed related to my Zhang family, Wen family and Zhao family. Speaking of which, all of that was the fault of our three families."
****
The time goes back more than 20 years ago, when Su Muzhe was not born yet.
That year, two people suddenly moved in the territory of City X. No one knew where they came from, but it caused a shock. Both of them were surnamed Su and were a couple. They were very young and had strong Taoism. More importantly, they were both rare to see the Spirit Master, and there was no family behind them.
The number of spiritual masters in x City is already rare. Now there are two at a time, and they are still husband and wife, and there is no big conflict of interest between them. Once the situation of these two people has spread, it has attracted the surrounding families to look utilitarian. If the couple can be recruited to their own family, it will definitely improve their status greatly.
At that time, this practice of attracting talents was very common. After all, now that Taoism is declining, the number of talents is getting smaller and smaller. If these Taoist families want to gain a foothold, they not only compare whose children are more promising, but also who absorb more talents.
In order to absorb the couple of the Su family, such as the Zhang family, the Wen family, and other well-known big families, they sent people to meet the two of them. They each offered quite generous conditions, hoping that the two could join their own family and serve the family.
This approach was basically accurate in those talents in the past, but when it comes to the Su couple, no lobbyist in the family could succeed.
The Su couple had a good attitude. They said they did not want to participate in family disputes. They came to x City to live the life of ordinary people. Although there was no problem with this kind of rhetoric, their refusal was still a thorn in the hearts of these families.
People are selfish, and most of them have the mentality of treasures, whether they are people or things, that is, if they cannot get them, they would rather destroy them than let others get them. For several major families, the attitude of the Su couple obviously cannot make them feel at ease. They are not only worried that the Su couple will join other families, but also worried that the two of them will pose a threat to their family after they develop.
Such an idea is not sinister and terrible, but so what? For the people in power in these major families, there is probably nothing more important than the family's interests. If the biggest mistake the Su couple made is that they are powerful spiritual masters. The so-called "every man is innocent and the guilt of possessing a treasure" means.
However, after all, they have high positions and power to save face. They cannot do anything like harming people directly in public. So apart from keeping a close eye on the couple, these families did not do anything privately. This formed a delicate balance.
But half a year later, Su's mother became pregnant, which made the balance in danger.
At that time, someone asserted that after the child in Su's belly was born, he would be extraordinary, and even his/her parents would be far superior to his/her parents.
Such assertions pierced the thorn in the hearts of several major families deeper. And this child, that is, the day Su Muzhe was born, maintained by several major families, which was as fragile as thin ice, was finally completely broken.
****
"When Su Muzhe was born, it was indeed a strange phenomenon from the sky, and we all saw it. You juniors don't know about this." The head of the Zhang family remembered the situation at that time and sighed softly, "I have never seen any baby, which can attract so much spiritual energy as soon as it is born. It's a pity..."
It’s a pity that a child who should have a bright future was ruined by family conspiracy and power struggle!
"If Su Muzhe's parents had joined any family at that time, then they themselves and the child they gave birth to would at least be protected. However, they... were too stubborn."
Lu Yun's eyes were red and he roared: "It's not that they are too stubborn, it's clear that you are too selfish! What else do you have in your eyes besides power?! What is human life in your heart?!"
The head of the Zhang family shook his head, "Some things are not as simple as your children think. What kind of people should follow the rules."
Ye Xuanling grabbed Lu Yun, comforted her, and told her to calm down. He asked on behalf of the little girl: "What's next? How are my uncle and aunt? And what about my senior brother?"
"Later... my elder brother, the mistress of the Wen family at that time, and the Zhao family's ruler, were bewitched by some reason, and insisted on thinking that the newborn child would pose a threat to them. Only by eliminating that child can the Su family not develop a climate that can compete with several families."
When Lu Yun and Ye Xuanling heard this, they all felt cold all over. These people were so crazy that the only baby born was still weak and powerless even if he had many magical powers on his body. Facing an adult with ulterior motives, there would be no other consequences except death.
****
At that time, the head of the Zhang family was the eldest brother of the Chief Zhang clan leader. The father of the Chief Zhang clan leader was in poor health at that time and had already retreated to the second position early. The heir of the Chief Zhang clan leader, who was fascinated by something, felt that the baby in the Su family was a threat, completely ignored the child or was just born, and was eager to get rid of him. The Chief Zhang clan leader did not agree with his idea, but could not persuade him, the eldest brother who was already in a daze.
At that time, the head of the Zhang family did not expect that his elder brother would collude with the Wen family and the Zhao family. In order to get rid of the child, they actually used a forbidden technique together - summoning countless ghosts and monsters and leading them to the Su family!
After the head of the Zhang family knew what his elder brother had done, he almost fainted. He quickly ordered someone to arrest his elder brother and rushed to the Su family quickly, but it was still too late. The baby was eaten by those monsters because he was fatally attractive to evil things and had only a little bit of wreckage left. The bloody scene on the ground was unbearable to look at it.
The Su couple did not expect that they just went out for some time and after they came back, they separated from their children, Tianren. The couple was heartbroken and vowed on the spot to have irreconcilable power with these three major families.
The head of the Zhang family felt guilty, but the child was already dead. No matter how much apologized, no matter how much compensation he gave, it would be useless. He knelt at the door of the Su family for three days, hoping to relieve the guilt in his heart. Although this mistake was not committed by him, it was his Zhang family's lack of strict management and his Zhang family made a big mistake.
Within these three days, the door of the Su family did not open again, and the rest of the Zhang family rushed here one after another and knelt down with the head of the Zhang family to atone for his sins. After a few days, the door of the Su family finally opened. What everyone couldn't believe was that the dead child came back to life again! He was held in Su's arms and truly possessed the breath of life.
It turned out that within these three days, the Su family and his wife used the ancient formation to reshape their bodies for their children. They didn't know what other formations they used to inject the child's soul into their bodies. At the cost, the couple completely turned into ordinary people without spiritual power. Their silver eyes turned completely black and their breath was weak because they exchanged their lives for the child's life. Even though they resented the three major families, their love for their children always had the upper hand. Compared with them, the behavior of those in the three major families was even worse than beasts!
The Su family held the reincarnated baby, ignored the shocked eyes of outsiders, and asked him to swear in front of everyone that the people from several major families would never let the people of the big family hurt their children again. The Zhang family leader wanted to compensate them, but made an oath without any hesitation.
He originally wanted to take the couple back for treatment, but they did not agree. On the second day, the couple was found dead at home. The cause of death was extremely weak, and the child they saved with their lives disappeared.
The Zhang family came forward and buried the two of them. The children were also searched, but they had never found them. The old clan leader was furious and directly ordered people to tie up his eldest son, abolish his inheritance rights, and voluntarily used family law, hating him for killing innocent people.
The thirty-two whips swung the eldest son, directly causing him to seriously injured, and pulled out the spiritual essence in his body, so that he could no longer use his spiritual power. The eldest brother of the Clan Zhang finally repented and understood what he had done. He had a serious illness. Even if the Zhang family tried his best to treat him, he was still seriously ill and died of illness. When he died, he was so thin that he was left with only a handful of bones. Half a month later, the old Clan leader passed away due to sadness and guilt, and two important people died of the Zhang family. The Clan leader of the Zhang family felt that all this was retribution.
How could it not be retribution? What happened to the Wen family and Zhao family? Seeing that the Su family was dead, no one pursued the mistakes of their families, they covered up the two people who made the mistakes and refused to punish them. As a result, the mistress of the Wen family went crazy and encountered accidents frequently in the family. Most of the people died for no reason, and gradually withdrew from the category of the big family.
After this incident, the Su family affairs gradually became a forbidden word, and all insiders kept it secret. So more than 20 years later, not many people have known this matter.

"I thought the Su family and his wife carried the child to someone else to take care of him, but when they were out more than ten years ago, they picked up a child in the wilderness. To be honest, I didn't recognize his identity at that time, and thought I had obtained a good seedling. When I planned to raise him well, he told his surname was Su, and I immediately knew that he was that child." The head of the Zhang family sighed in his heart when he thought about what happened at that time, and sighed in his heart, feeling that it was really a bad fate.
Lu Yun and Ye Xuanling were also silent.
"I am very happy that this child is still alive. But I can't keep him in the Zhang family. After all, there is a hatred between the Zhang family and the Su family that will never be able to be resolved in this life. And to be ashamed, after my father and my elder brother died, the clan elders at that time actually took all of these on the child. So I can't tell the identity of the child, I don't know how to face him, nor do I know how to deal with him if he knew everything that happened in the future."
In fact, when asked, in the heart of the head of the Zhang family, there was no lack of resentment. After all, his elder brother died because of the Su family. But he was sober after all, he knew that his resentment was simply unreasonable. The Su family did not let the Zhang family down. No matter who saw it, they felt that the Zhang family deserved it. With this contradictory mentality, the head of the Zhang family taught all his abilities to Su Muzhe. After he had the ability to take care of himself, he sent him down the mountain, handed his parents over to him before he died, and returned it to this child.
He wanted to cut off all his relationship with Su Mu, but he did not know that this child was pure and filial to forget this kind of kindness. The chief of the Zhang family felt all kinds of feelings. The more he was like this, the less he could tell him the truth.
"The one who suddenly broke into my sister-in-law was my sister-in-law. She was always resentful because of my elder brother's death. She has been crazy now. She thought that everything was the fault of the child. Later, she knew from somewhere that your master was that child, so she wanted to kill her. She was discovered by people in our clan in time and locked her up for twenty years. Don't expose her identity in front of her. Speaking of which, my sister-in-law is also a pitiful person. She has a deep relationship with her brother. After her death, she has never come out." The head of the Zhang family lamented deeply.
Lu Yun did not give him any face at all and said sarcastically: "By your opinion, your elder brother is a poor person, your elder sister-in-law is also a poor person, and your Zhang family is the most pitiful person in the world."
