Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Death of Lin Jiangpu
"I know," Shen Qingzhi nodded. When she had cuckolded Zhou Shihao and chosen Su Luo, she had already thoroughly investigated Su Luo’s identity.
"But I don’t know much about your grandfather’s affair," Shen Qingzhi said.
Su Luo asked, "Then do you know how my grandfather died? Did he have any feuds or grudges with Zhou Shihao?"
Shen Qingzhi’s brow furrowed slightly. "Are you suggesting that your grandfather’s death is related to Zhou Shihao?"
"Right," Su Luo nodded. "Even if it wasn’t related to him, he must know sothing."
"I will help you inquire about it, but I can’t guarantee that I will definitely find out everything," Shen Qingzhi said.
Su Luo imdiately turned to Shen Qingzhi and said, "Aunt Shen, thank you."
"Since when have you beco so polite?" Shen Qingzhi looked at Su Luo with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Su Luo smiled awkwardly, "I haven’t been impolite to you before, have I?"
"Really? I find you quite impolite at tis. Climbing into bed without permission, even able to mistake the person," Shen Qingzhi said with a teasing smile, her eyes suggesting sothing deeper.
This made Su Luo subconsciously avoid her gaze and not dare to look her in the eyes.
He had always felt guilty about that incident.
While Aunt Shen wasn’t angry, clearly, she had taken note of it.
"Aunt Shen, well, you must be quite busy, so I won’t bother you anymore. I’m going to leave now," Su Luo quickly turned around and walked back the way he ca.
Shen Qingzhi did not ask Su Luo to stay.
It wasn’t until Su Luo disappeared from her sight that she withdrew her gaze.
"Shen Jie, has Su Luo changed his ways? This ti, he didn’t cling to you persistently. I thought he’d shalessly find every way to stay here and share a room with you," Rose said with a hint of surprise.
"It’s because you don’t understand him," Shen Qingzhi shook her head slightly.
She could feel that today’s Su Luo was sowhat different from before. Perhaps it was because it involved his grandfather’s affairs or maybe the truth about his grandfather’s death. If Su Luo could still be shaless and think only of lust, coveting beauty without a second thought, such a man would definitely not accomplish anything significant.
But evidently, Su Luo was not that kind of person.
He had his own sense of asure in his heart.
"Still don’t understand him..." Rose said, sowhat distractedly.
Indeed.
Although she often interacted with Su Luo, even more frequently than Shen Jie, could she say that she understood Su Luo?
Not really.
After leaving Shen Qingzhi’s place, Su Luo returned to his room. Right now, what he wanted to do most was cultivate.
To enhance his strength.
If, in the past, Su Luo wanted to improve his strength mainly for Shen Qingzhi, then now he had another reason, which was the death of his grandfather and the news of his parents.
This made Su Luo even more eager for strong power.
"The cultivation technique that mysterious senior gave
is indeed amazing. It has allowed
to gain a deeper understanding of the ’Chaos Creation Art’ so that my future path of cultivation will be smoother."
Su Luo carefully reviewed the ’Chaos Creation Art: Qi Refinent Realm Cultivation Essentials’ given to him by that mysterious senior again, and his face showed delight.
He did not rush to find herbs and refine pills to raise his realm but instead planned to spend so ti re-examining his Fourth Level of Qi Refinent Realm to solidify his foundation and deepen his cultivation base.
Doing so, he would not have to rush to promote his realm, preventing an unstable foundation!
...
That evening.
Jiangbei.
Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Shihao and one of the Three Great Grandmasters of Jiangbei, Wan Chuanxiong, were playing chess.
anwhile, Shen Qingzhi was also present. It was a rule set by Zhou Shihao that, even if Shen Qingzhi wished to refuse, she could not.
Of course, today, she did not resist.
She was thinking about how she could lead the conversation to Su Xiazi without arousing Zhou Shihao’s suspicion to see if she could probe for so information for Su Luo.
However.
Before Shen Qingzhi could find the right mont to speak, a short-haired woman hurriedly entered.
"Mr. Zhou!"
"Master Wan!"
The short-haired woman greeted them upon entering.
"Zhao Li, what’s the matter?"
Zhou Shihao asked without looking up.
This Zhao Li was one of his trusted subordinates and occasionally assigned to monitor Shen Qingzhi.
"Mr. Zhou, we have received news that Lin Jiangpu, ranked last among Jiangbei’s Top Ten, has been killed!"
Zhao Li reported, holding several photos in her hand.
