1218: C1218 Maple City

C1218 Maple City

Su Jue nodded his head, as if he understood something, and laughed: "Don't you think that there is something wrong with this dart? He has so many experts from the Huangfu Family, why does he need you to move his darts? And he even reported the year of the Stone of Life?"

"You … You mean, they deliberately let us carry the darts, and then …"

We can assume this. The Huangfu family found out about the remnant map passed down from your family from generation to generation from your second uncle, and then used your second uncle and your father's conflict to have your second uncle discuss it with your father. Your second uncle knows that if the Life Stone exceeds a hundred thousand years, your father will not agree to it, so he lied.

Qing Kui was startled, "Then, Huangfu Family took back the dart, and immediately told us that the Stone of Life was actually three hundred thousand years old, and then they wanted us to compensate them. Three hundred thousand years of living stones are enough for us to give them all our wealth, and even their territories are not available, and as a result, Second Uncle obtains the properties of the territories, while Huangfu Family obtains the compensation and the remnants of the map."

"That's right. Think about it. Your father's darts never failed for several thousand years, which means he's a very cautious person. If it wasn't for your Second Uncle colluding with the Huangfu family, how could your father be so easy to steal a dart?"

"That's right. Father's path this time is extremely secretive. He and second uncle studied together after making up their relationship. Only he and second uncle know that. Even I hid it from him, so …"

Thinking about that, Qing Kui weakly took a few steps back, "Second Uncle, your heart is truly ruthless."

Su Jue also sighed, although it was just a guess, he felt that it was close enough. Even if Qing Kui's father was loyal to his uncle, he would still not think that his brother would betray the family and cause so many people to die.

"Su Jue, I would like to return to the clan and personally ask my second uncle." Qing Kui thought for a while and said.

"Think carefully. Once you ask, you might really fall out. At that time, it will be extremely dangerous." Su Jue frowned.

Qing Kui laughed as he cried, "I know, but I still don't believe that my second uncle would do it. After all, he and my father are siblings, even if there is a conflict between them, they shouldn't go so far as to clash with blades to the point of my father's death."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Su Jue thought for a while and said.

"No need Su Jue, I have already implicated you, and do not want to drag you into my family's muddy water, now let me bear the consequences myself." Qing Kui shook his head.

"I just came to the Tripod Star, I'm fine anyways, just take me to have a look at the scenery."

In reality, he had yet to decide whether he should continue wandering alone or take the mysterious girl's token to the temple.

It was good to be alone, but the information was too obscure. He had just started out, and if he could join a large power, he could at least understand the world better and quickly increase his combat prowess.

However, at the same time, joining a certain power would mean losing their freedom. At the very least, they would lose their freedom for a short period of time.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to consider and combine his efforts.

"Alright, then let's go back to the clan together."

Qing Kui nodded and revealed a smile.

"That's right, girls are more beautiful if they keep smiling."

"Hehe." Qing Kui covered his mouth and laughed. He had never felt anything from others praising her beauty in the past, but for some reason, when Su Jue said this casually, she actually felt very happy.

"You must be very popular with girls."

While laughing, Qing Kui brought Su Jue to the streets.

The two of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at a brightly lit plaza.

"This place is?"

"This is the transmission plaza. The transmission plaza of River City is not that big, and there are only a few cities that can be transported. Our Maple City just happens to be one of them. Let's go."

After Qing Kui finished speaking, he pulled Su Jue to one of the huge teleportation formation.

There was only a middle-aged man meditating at the edge of the formation.

"Two people, two hundred Golden Leaves!" The middle-aged man opened his eyes and said.

Qing Kui nodded and handed 200 golden leaves to the middle aged man. The middle aged man then took out a flag and opened a teleportation circle.

This was not Su Jue's first time entering a teleportation circle. When he was still in the Heaven Realm, he used the teleportation circle multiple times, so he was not too used to it.

With a flash of light, the two of them arrived at the plaza covered in red leaves.

"Isn't our Maple City beautiful?" Qing Kui laughed.

Su Jue raised his head, only to see that there were maple leaves floating in the sky, and a gigantic maple tree in the distance. Although it was tens of kilometers away, it was still a sight to behold.

"That maple tree is older than Maple City. It has a history of ten thousand years, and our city's name is derived from this."

"It is indeed beautiful."

Su Jue laughed. The two of them walked through the carpet-like maple leaf road and quickly arrived at the Qing Clan Residence.

The Qing Residence was not big, and it was very old.

"This mansion was left behind by my ancestors and is now the only property of our family." Qing Kui said as he entered.

"Is your family controlled by your second uncle now?" Su Jue asked.

"That's right, it is indeed my second uncle who is in charge. Over a hundred people of different sizes are all squeezed into this mansion with less than two acres of land."

As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the entrance of the meeting room.

"Miss, you're finally back." An old man walked in front of Qing Kui and said with tears streaming down his face.

"Yes, Uncle Lin. Is my second uncle here?" Qing Kui asked.

"He's in the conference hall discussing matters with the Huangfu clan. It's best if you don't go in. They're very dissatisfied with you, so I'm afraid …" Uncle Lin shook his head and said.

"I know."

Qing Kui nodded his head, but he did not listen to Uncle Lin and immediately entered the conference hall.

Just as the two of them reached the meeting room, two people walked out.

"I'll trouble you! When you go back and return to the Huangfu clan head, I'll definitely severely punish the girl who disdains me!"

Before he even finished speaking, the person who had spoken out earlier frowned as he looked towards Su Jue and Qing Kui.

"Qing Kui, you still have the face to return to the clan.

"Second Uncle, I have something to ask you." Qing Kui looked at the middle-aged man and said.

"Patriarch Qingfeng, it seems that your niece does not put you in her eyes. You, as the Patriarch, have failed a bit." Huangfu Haoyue sneered.

"Envoy, don't worry. I have my own ways to punish this damned girl." Qing Feng smiled.

The envoy nodded, "I hope that you can give us the information as soon as possible."

After speaking, the Huangfu clan envoy turned around and walked out.

"Second Uncle, why is the Huangfu clan's envoy looking for you?"

Qing Kui asked as soon as the envoy from the Huangfu Family left.

Qing Feng glanced at Su Jue, laughed coldly, and said to Qing Kui: "Alright, do you think that you can challenge your second uncle just because you found a wild man outside?"1
