"I want to buy a piece of land here, to purchase a small mansion."
Su Mu spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Du Ziren was taken aback. He thought it was sothing big, having imagined nurous possibilities in his mind.
"That’s completely fine."
"Do you have any specific requirents for the mansion, Brother Su?" Du Ziren asked.
...
"It doesn’t need to be too big, just small enough for two people to live."
"Nothing else, just that the surroundings should be quiet."
Su Mu had two important matters to handle when he ca here, one of which was to buy a piece of land in this Ancient City.
Because after guarding the river for so many years, this is the first ti he found a lively place, a city with a lot of people, and it’s the only one.
So, he plans to bring Nannan here once a month or two during his free ti, to have so fun.
He couldn’t possibly trouble Du Ziren every ti he ca; people also have work and their own matters. Su Mu is not the kind of person who likes to trouble others.
Upon hearing this, Du Ziren pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a perfect place.
"Brother Su, have a seat and drink so tea, I’ll be back soon."
Having said that, Du Ziren disappeared from the spot.
....
Reincarnation Ancient City, Netherworld Prince’s Mansion.
"He’s here again?" A stunning woman in luxurious brocade frowned at Du Ziren in front of her.
Her tone was sowhat cold, with a hint of anger detectable.
The stunning woman was none other than Shen Yu, who had just recently taken office as the Netherworld King!
Because her sister was punished and sent to reincarnation, she had always harbored resentnt towards that River Guardian.
Although she didn’t know what mistake Shen Cha had committed to being punished so severely by Lady Houtu, she knew it definitely had sothing to do with that River Guardian.
After all, it was because Shen Cha got involved with that River Guardian that issues arose.
"Shen Yu, think about the matter I just ntioned and na your price."
Du Ziren did not answer Shen Yu’s question but directly brought up official business.
When he learned that Shen Yu had replaced her sister in assuming the position of the Netherworld King, he was shocked too.
After all, since getting to know the Shen Yu-Shen Cha sisters, he knew little to nothing about Shen Yu. He just knew that she was not simple, liked to be alone, lived alone in the city, and never stood out.
He knew she was extraordinary, but couldn’t have imagined she was this extraordinary!
The position of "Netherworld King" is not sothing that anyone can assu at will. Even if you et the strength criteria, if you can’t control the Nether River, you can’t sit in this position either.
Not only did Shen Yu gain the recognition of the Nether River, but she also got the acknowledgnt of Lady Houtu!
Du Ziren didn’t really know what happened among them.
Why did Shen Cha disappear? Why did Shen Yu take her place directly?
Could it be that the two sisters turned against each other and Shen Yu killed Shen Cha?
This seems like the most reasonable explanation.
Not to ntion whether Shen Yu could kill Shen Cha, even if she had the strength, it would be impossible to do such a thing under Lady Houtu’s watchful eyes.
One must know, Lady Houtu holds Shen Cha in high regard.
......
"First, tell , has he co?" Shen Yu also avoided Du Ziren’s question, speaking in a slightly cold tone.
Upon hearing this, Du Ziren furrowed his brows, sowhat displeased: "Yes, he’s here."
"Fine, let tell you, it’s impossible for him to stay at the Divine Spring Palace, no matter what conditions you offer." Shen Yu said coldly.
....
"Shen Yu!"
"Do you know what you’re saying?"
"You should realize what status and position Elder Su has, shouldn’t you?"
Even Du Ziren grew irritable by Shen Yu’s actions.
"Of course I know, the renowned River Guardian." Shen Yu replied coldly, "With his strength, he could easily occupy the place. Why bother asking ?"
"Isn’t this unnecessary?"
Faced with Shen Yu’s sarcastic remarks, Du Ziren’s face turned dark: "Shen Yu, I told you, Shen Cha’s disappearance has little to do with Elder Su, it’s not Elder Su’s fault."
"Then tell , what exactly happened that night?" Shen Yu demanded.
"I might not know exactly what happened, but I’m sure of one thing, Elder Su is not soone narrow-minded, conversely, he’s very affable, and he would never intentionally make things difficult for Shen Cha."
Du Ziren asserted firmly.
"Ha, who knows." Shen Yu snorted coldly.
....
"Shen Yu, what I wanted to tell you is, Elder Su has another identity."
At this point, Du Ziren paused and continued: "Lady Houtu gave him the Reincarnation Ship."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu’s expression changed, she remained silent for a long ti.
"Oh, here, this is the ’Boundary Mark’ of the Divine Spring Palace."
Saying this, Shen Yu waved her jade hand, and a ring-shaped jade pendant appeared in her hand, which she handed to Du Ziren.
Her personal grievances were personal, but she wouldn’t escalate them to the Reincarnation Realm.
Lady Houtu gave Su Mu the Reincarnation Ship, which indirectly gave him authority, seeing the Reincarnation Ship is like seeing Lady Houtu herself.
Even though she resents Su Mu, she wouldn’t go against Lady Houtu’s decision.
Because Lady Houtu giving Su Mu the Reincarnation Ship signifies her approval of him, so out of duty, she must fulfill his request.
.....
"Na a price." Du Ziren spoke slowly.
"No need, just take it." Shen Yu replied coldly.
"I owe you a favor."
Du Ziren didn’t intend to leverage Elder Su’s status to get the Divine Spring Palace for free. After all, Elder Su entrusted him with this, so he definitely wants to pay so price.
"They should be moving in tonight, as for how long they will stay, I do not know either." Du Ziren replied.
.....
"They?" Shen Yu caught the keyword, her delicate brows furrowing.
Upon hearing this, Du Ziren realized he had misspoken and quickly said, "One of Elder Su’s subordinates."
He knew Shen Yu held so dissatisfaction towards Elder Su, so he was also worried Shen Yu might act impulsively. Nannan was still so young, she shouldn’t be dragged into these karmic conflicts.
.....
"Then thank you, I owe you a favor." Du Ziren smiled.
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
Shen Yu followed behind him.
Seeing this, Du Ziren thought of sothing and said, "I can take Elder Su there myself."
He truly feared Shen Yu might act impulsively. Although he didn’t understand Shen Yu’s personality, he knew Shen Cha.
In Du Ziren’s eyes, Shen Cha was a crazy woman; her sister can’t be much different, probably having a strong personality.
"You don’t understand the Divine Spring Palace, let take them there and introduce them." Shen Yu said blandly.
Having said this much, Du Ziren couldn’t really refuse.
"Shen Yu, let remind you first, you mustn’t act recklessly."
"I’ve said, Shen Cha’s situation was definitely not caused by Elder Su."
Du Ziren repeatedly reminded her.
"I know."
Shen Yu’s beautiful eyes flickered.
"Let’s go."
