Chapter 1134: Profound Nine Becomes Famous (2)
Su Yu cursed and said, "Fine. Tell me about his schedule and the guards protecting him."
"Sure."
Soon, Xia Huyou sent the information about Xia Xinyi's schedule in the near future and the details of his protection. Even the weaknesses of those guards were listed in detail, as though he was afraid that Su Yu wouldn't be able to blast his uncle apart.
What an unfilial nephew!
It was fine if nobody knew Profound Nine was Su Yu. But the ones aware of that would probably think that he had gone crazy after learning about it. After all, Xia Xinyi was Xia Longwu’s cousin.
Due to the relatively small size of the Xia Family, their members were actually quite close to each other. And Marquis Xia was also quite close to Xia Longwu. Thus, blasting Xia Xinyi apart might even anger the Xia Family more than blasting Xia Huyou apart.
At that thought, Su Yu sent First Profound a message, "Elder, I'm going to take revenge against the Xia Family and the traitor! The world will suffer my wrath! Elder, pass my message to the higher-ups in the pavilion. One day, the traitor will pay the price of betrayal!"
"..."
First Profound was completely dumbstruck. He even wondered if Profound Nine had been killed and replaced by someone else.
Was that little bastard not tired of acting all the time?
"Who are you taking your revenge on?"
"I'll kill Xia Huyou!"
"I—"@@@@
First Profound had the urge to curse at someone. What nonsense. He would not believe that. Did Su Yu think that he was dumb?
"Are you serious?"
"It doesn't matter. Just pass my message to the higher-ups. I'm going to take my revenge! Profound Nine is crazy!"
Suddenly, Su Yu paused momentarily before asking, "Elder, whose side are you on? Are you from a minor race enjoying the show as a bystander or are you siding with us humans?"
These were the only two possibilities. If it was the former, it was understandable that he would only watch as the world burned as it did not concern him. If it was the latter, this elder was probably related to Great Xia or some other human experts. This was why he had not betrayed Su Yu thus far.
After a long while, First Profound replied, "Actually, I'm your long-lost grandpa. You know nothing about your grandpa, right? I'm actually your grandpa. Not long after your father was born, I left and joined the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion under Great Xia King's order."
"..."
Screw this nonsense!
"If you're a human, don't the head of the Profound Department know about it?"
"He only knows my fake identity."
"Heh."
"I'm being serious. My name is Su Nansheng. Nan for Nanyuan and Sheng for born. I'm not lying. Since you're asking, I've decided to come clean. Grandson, greet your grandpa. Grandpa is very proud of you."
"..."
Su Yu cursed inwardly. This damn geezer was messing with him. He would not forget this! He ended the conversation while still cursing the elder inwardly.
A madman who would not let any grievance unanswered.
Right after suffering a loss from the Xia Family, he went and blasted a major member of that family apart. What else would someone like that be if not a madman? Furthermore, he had done it in the core of Xia Family's territory. That was a resounding slap across the Xia Family's face. That was a transgression the Xia Family would never forgive.
Suddenly, Su Yu noticed something and walked out of his residence. A few individuals were also walking out of the opposite building. When they saw Su Yu, one of them laughed, "Brother Bai, are you going somewhere?"
Su Yu spoke in a carefree manner, "Yeah. I'm taking a stroll. It's too boring here. Where are you going?"
"We're going outside the academy to shop around."
"Things are getting dangerous recently with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members killing people everywhere. My cousin has forbidden me from leaving the academy. How annoying. It's so boring staying in here all the time."
"Have you not heard, Brother Bai? The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is no longer an issue. Not long ago, they suffered grievously in the hands of Administrator Hu. They lost two Sunmoons and two peak Mountainseas. Even a late-stage Sunmoon elder of theirs was forced to flee while coughing blood."
"Are you sure?" Su Yu exclaimed in surprise, "So is Yellow Nine dead? That was the person I hired to protect me previously. He's actually quite strong. He killed several Mountainseas while protecting me..."
They had also heard the story of Bai Junsheng's journey to the capital. Thus, one of them said, "By the way, all index copy holders need to declare it to the Martial Dragon Guard. You better do it early lest the Martial Dragon Guard decides to target you."
"I'll be fine. My cousin is Bai Feng. Faculty Head Hong is also very nice to me. How will the Martial Dragon Guard do anything to me?"
"You never know. Most of the current index copy holders in Great Xia are big shots. You should be careful or even Faculty Head Hong might fail to protect you."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I suggest you declare your possession immediately."
Su Yu frowned and thought about it before saying, "In that case...maybe I should go now? Martial Dragon Guard? Where should I go?"
"Just come with us. We'll be passing by that place anyway."
"Alright. Thanks, guys."
"..."
And thus, Su Yu joined the group and left the academy. He would take this chance to declare his possession of an index copy and blast Xia Xinyu apart while he was at it.

Meanwhile, Xia Xinyi was still completely clueless about what was going to happen.
He had just left the prefect's residence while keeping a low profile. Things had been chaotic lately so it wouldn't be wise to attract too much attention. For some reason, his father had been traveling very slowly, as though he was completely unconcerned with everything that was happening in Great Xia. Administrator Hu had been driven crazy by the stress.
Xia Xinyi mumbled inwardly that if his father took even longer to return, Great Xia might sink into an even bigger chaos.
Whatever. That was out of his control. He was only in charge of watching over the Xia Trade Company. A new batch of products had just arrived so he had to inspect those products. His father could handle everything else.
As for his two guards, both were tailing him while hiding in the void. Unless one was a Sunmoon, one would not be able to detect them.
Xia Xinyi had never been well-known. Clad in a simple and unassuming outfit, nobody suspected his identity. His destination was a store not far from the perfect's residence. That was also a commercial district. They wouldn't have opened a store there otherwise. He might be cautious, but he actually wasn't too worried about his safety. After all, he wouldn't go too far away from his home.
Even the commander who was assassinated not long ago had died quite far away from the center of the city. Meanwhile, Xia Xinyi wouldn't stray too far from the prefect's residence. Administrator Hu, who was inside the prefect's residence, could reach him in only three or four seconds.
If he was too scared to even go somewhere so near, he might as well stay in his room forever. And thus, he continued stepping forth without any worry.
