Chapter 381: Chapter 236: Magic Treasure

"You’re too kind, Elder Su."

Yi Changhao said with his hands clasped:

"Since you’re awake, Elder Su, I assume you’ve mostly recovered. In that case, I should speak with you about the duel."

"No need."

Su Xing raised his hand and said, "Elder Li has already told me about the duel. If possible, the sooner it happens, the better. You should be aware of my business with the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"Of course. I will certainly remind our Sect Leader. It will be settled by tomorrow at the latest. It’s just that your injuries have only just healed, Elder Su. You should still rest well."

Yi Changhao nodded quickly.

Dragon Gate was no small sect. They could even be considered the local powerhouse, so their network of connections was exceptionally strong.

In the three days Su Xing had been unconscious, Dragon Gate had thoroughly investigated why he came to Luocheng and what he had done since arriving. Naturally, they knew about the Ten-Day Pact within the Cyan Cloud Sect.

However, knowing about the Ten-Day Pact only made Dragon Gate feel that something was stranger.

Because Li Ye was set to descend upon the Cyan Cloud Sect with the Yin Crow in a few days, and Su Xing was supposed to be their opponent. So why, in Desperate Gorge, did it seem like Li Ye had no intention of attacking Su Xing?

They didn’t know the reason, but it seemed Li Ye held no hostility toward Su Xing. This point was indeed extremely strange.

Besides, Li Ye was a wanted criminal. Although no one was willing to move against him for now because of this duel and his own strength, their opposing statuses also meant few were willing to associate with him.

"Oh, right."

"I know about your past. Since the law has already passed judgment on you, I have no intention of delivering extrajudicial punishment. But your enemy is now dead. I hope you don’t make any new ones in the future."

Su Xing said lightly.

’To be honest, it was a bit of a pity. That person’s special ability could have brought me some unexpected martial arts. A shame he was smashed into a pile of pulp by a single punch from the Witch Summoner.’

"What?"

Yi Changhao had been about to leave, but his body froze when he heard Su Xing’s words. A look of astonishment appeared on his face as he asked:

"Was he... was he killed by you, Elder Su?"

These people had arrived too late. They hadn’t seen the beginning of the fight between Su Xing and the Witch Summoner. The man had been turned directly into pulp by the shockwave of the first punch.

So, Su Xing shook his head and said,

"No."

"I don’t kill the innocent indiscriminately. He was perfectly polite to me, so why would I kill him?"

"He simply ran into the Witch Summoner with me and died at its hands. If he still has any family, I advise you to treat them well."

This was genuine advice from Su Xing. When it all came down to it, this whole affair was caused by Yi Changhao not treating ordinary people as human beings when he first arrived in the mortal world. Now that he had been "educated," even if his subconscious biases hadn’t changed, he definitely understood the ethics of the mortal world. Something like a Heart Demon might even appear because of it.

Of course, if Yi Changhao was a heartless person, then it was as if Su Xing had never said a word.

"..."

Yi Changhao understood Su Xing’s meaning, but he just smiled awkwardly. "Because he was always trying to get revenge on me, I made a point to look into his background. It seems he had no family left."

"Then that’s for you to deal with."

After saying this, Su Xing said no more. He just closed his eyes and began to rest, only slowly opening them again after Yi Changhao had left.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Based on what that guy said, the duel probably won’t be held until tomorrow,"

Li Longxuan said with a smile.

Although Yi Changhao had said tomorrow at the latest, saying "at the latest" implied Dragon Gate hadn’t made any concrete arrangements yet, so it would almost certainly be tomorrow. Li Longxuan was all too familiar with these inner workings; large organizations, in particular, tended to be less efficient. It was the smaller ones that could act immediately on newly gathered intelligence.

"Elder Li, do you know anything about so-called ’magic artifacts’?"

Hearing that the duel wouldn’t be until tomorrow at the earliest, Su Xing began to consider what he should do. He first asked about the situations of Su Yu, Lu Anning, and the others, and learned that Lu Anning had already taken over his academy courses.

Not only that, but Su Xing discovered Lu Anning’s classes seemed to be even more popular than his own. At least, the students in the group chat all seemed to be looking forward to her lessons.

"..."

For a moment, Su Xing didn’t know what to say.

’It makes sense. Lu Anning is a high school girl, after all. Now, as her realm has advanced, her looks and figure have improved along with it.’

’Coupled with her deepening understanding of the Sword Dao, she might already be his equal as a teacher. Add in the advantage of being a woman... and it really wasn’t surprising that she was more popular than him.’

After a moment’s thought, Su Xing just shook his head and didn’t say anything more. At his Extraordinary Realm, the Sword Dao Points gained from teaching weren’t a small amount, but they weren’t a lot either.

However, he understood the principle of ’constant dripping wears away the stone’. He had no intention of giving up teaching as a way to acquire Sword Dao Points, as it was by far the most stable method. It was just that he had been rather busy lately. After some thought, he decided to let Lu Anning manage the Sword Hall in his stead for the time being.

Having arranged these matters, Su Xing tossed the two keys in his hand and turned to Li Longxuan with a question:
