Chapter 1082: The Truth About Rakshasa

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Li looked terrified and whispered, “Hey, Fourth Brother! Aren’t you afraid that Grandpa will beat you up! You should at least hesitate!” That jade-faced Rakshasa!

Why couldn’t he be on the same side as his biological brother?

Couldn’t the two of them escape together?

“Come in!”

The Old Marquis roared angrily and Su Li slipped in.

The Old Marquis sat on the cold official hat chair.

A dim oil lamp was lit on the table at the side.

Half of his face reflected the light, and the other half was shrouded in shadows. He looked at Su Xuan and Su Li coldly. “Kneel!”

At the Protector Duke’s Estate, Su Xiaoxiao arranged a beautiful courtyard for Ling Yun. He could admire the scenery in the day and see the stars at night.

Ling Yun sat in the room wiping the zither.

Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door. Ling Yun said, “I’m asleep.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “Egg yolk pastry.”

“Come in.”

Su Xiaoxiao carried a plate of freshly baked egg yolk pastries into the house.

She sat down opposite him.

Ling Yun reached out to take the egg yolk pastries, but Su Xiaoxiao hugged the plate.

Ling Yun looked at her resentfully, as if he was accusing her. It was very tiring to pretend to be Zhuge Qing. Wouldn’t she him eat?

Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and said, “Answer a few questions and I’ll give you all these egg yolk pastries.”

Ling Yun chuckled. “Do you think I care?”

Su Xiaoxiao picked up an egg yolk pastry and took a big bite.

Seeing that Ling Yun was silent, Su Xiaoxiao picked up the second egg yolk pastry and took another bite.

When she was about to cause trouble with the third one, Ling Yun couldn’t take it anymore and said, “What do you want to ask?”

Su Xiaoxiao stopped while she was ahead and retracted her demonic claws.

“It’s about my fourth cousin. Is my fourth cousin hiding something from us?”

Ling Yun said, “You should ask him.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “If he was willing to say it, I wouldn’t have come to you.”

Ling Yun took the tea leaves away and poured her a glass of warm water. “He’s your brother, not mine. What makes you think I’ll know about him?”

“Thank you.” Su Xiaoxiao brought the teacup over and looked into his eyes. “Su

Li said that you treated Rakshasa’s injuries.”

Ling Yun denied it. “No, I just gave him some medicine.”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “What medicine is better than mine?”

Ling Yun said without changing his expression, “There’s always someone better.”

Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “But you’re not a doctor. Don’t say that you found another doctor to get the medicine. I don’t believe you.” Ling Yun curled his lips. “If you don’t believe me, why are you asking me?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll believe you if you tell me the truth.”

“Hmph.” Ling Yun snorted.

Su Xiaoxiao placed the egg yolk pastry she had taken a bite of into another clean plate.

She didn’t rush him and just looked at him with her arms crossed.

After a long time, Ling Yun sighed helplessly. “He was planted with Heart Guide.”

“What’s a Heart Guide?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Ling Yun said, “It’s a little difficult to explain. You can think of it as a restriction of martial arts or as a poison. Every disciple of the Assassin Alliance has been planted by the Alliance Master. Once they betray the Assassin Alliance, the Alliance Master will find them and activate the Heart Guide in their bodies, causing their hearts to explode and die.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “No wonder it’s called the Heart Guide. It sounds quite powerful. Was Su Xuan also activated when he vomited blood last time?”

Ling Yun nodded. “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Was the Alliance Master there?”

Ling Yun shook his head. “No, it was a disciple of the Assassin Alliance. The

Alliance Master must have taught him the Heart Guide Technique.” Su Xiaoxiao continued, “How can I remove the Heart Guide?”

Ling Yun said, “Once the Heart Guide is planted, it can never be removed.”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Not even by the Alliance Master?”

Ling Yun said, “No.”

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “What will happen if the Heart Guide isn’t removed?”

Ling Yun said bluntly, “One will die.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Ling Yun wiped the zither on his leg. “Do you know why he’s called Rakshasa?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I don’t know.”

Ling Yun changed to a clean handkerchief and continued to wipe. “Other disciples were planted with the Heart Guide to prevent them from betraying, but Rakshasa is different. There are no shortcuts to martial arts. More haste less speed. Although I don’t know what kind of blood feud he’s carrying that forced him to use the Assassin Alliance’s Rakshasa Forbidden Technique to increase his cultivation, I’m sure that the consequences aren’t something anyone can bear. What you’re seeing now isn’t the real Rakshasa. When he becomes a real Rakshasa, he’ll be even more terrifying than the out-of-control Wei xu.

“The purpose of the Heart Guide is to… kill him when that day comes.” Su Xiaoxiao was in disbelief. “How did this happen? Does he know?”

Ling Yun thought for a moment. “He should know.”

Su Xiaoxiao pondered and said, “But I don’t think he has anything on his mind recently…”

Ling Yun said calmly, “His worries are over. He has nothing else to worry about.”

The Head of the Secret Service…

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists. “Is there really no other way?”

Ling Yun spread his hands. “As far as I know, no.”

At the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate, Su Xuan knelt down quietly. Su Li was a little unwilling, but he could only curl his lips and kneel down.

“When did this happen?”

The Old Marquis asked in a low voice.

Su Li looked up in a daze. Just as he was about to ask his grandfather what he meant, he realized that his grandfather was looking at his fourth brother.

Su Xuan remained silent.

The Old Marquis was furious. “I asked you when you colluded with the Assassin Alliance. A dignified young master of the Marquis’s Estate actually became an assassin! How much ill-gotten wealth did you earn and how many innocent people did you kill!”

Su Li said, “Grandpa, Fourth Brother didn’t kill anyone…”

The Old Marquis scolded angrily, “Shut up!”

Su Li shut up aggrievedly.

The Old Marquis pointed at Su Xuan and said, “Tonight… Either you let me cripple your martial arts or you’ll be expelled from the family. Your choice!”

Su Li said anxiously, “Grandpa! Fourth Brother fell sick when he was young and couldn’t practice martial arts anymore. It wasn’t easy for him to master martial arts… How can he be crippled just like that?”

Su MO also knelt down. “Grandpa, I didn’t teach them well as their eldest brother. If you want to punish someone, punish me.”

The Old Marquis flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Do you think I don’t dare to punish you just because you’re the eldest grandson? If you want to be crippled, I’ll cripple you too!”

Su Li gritted his teeth. “Then cripple my martial arts!”

The Old Marquis slapped the table, stood up, and raised his hand.

“Grandfather.”

Su Xuan said calmly, “Thank you for raising me, Grandmother, and Father for so many years. Ah Xuan is unfilial.”

With that, he kowtowed three times to the Old Marquis. The exDressions of Su MO and Su Li changed.

“Fourth Brother!”

“Fourth Brother!”

After Su Xuan finished kowtowing, he stood up calmly and turned to leave the study.

The Old Marquis fell back into his chair in anger and pointed at him with a trembling finger. “Alright, alright, alright! From now on, my Su family will pretend that we never gave birth to you!”

Cold raindrops fell.

Su Xuan looked at the dark night. His lonely figure silently disappeared into the torrential rain..
