Chapter 106 The Plan! Investigation!
"It seems that Tang Huang found out about what you told Master Liu last time, and that's why he told Senior Sister Liu..."
Outside the Zhou residence, Zhou Zhengtang and Su Hao stood at the entrance, quietly watching Liu Shi and the others walk away.
Zhou Zhengtang then turned his gaze away and spoke to Su Hao beside him.
Su Hao had mentioned this to him before, but at the time it was just a guess.
However, judging from the actions of Tang Huang and Liu Jun today, they clearly came with a purpose.
This also confirms that Liu Jun has begun to suspect that Su Hao was the one spreading the information behind the scenes regarding Liu Shi's affairs.
Upon hearing this, Su Hao nodded slightly.
However, his gaze toward Tang Huang grew increasingly cold.
To be honest, I don't have much interaction with Tang Huang, but it seems that the other party is always causing trouble for me.
Considering Liu Jun's actions last night, it's highly likely that Tang Huang was behind it all.
"Perhaps..."
Su Hao's eyes remained calm, and he didn't say anything more.
Because he knew that since things had come to this point, there was no point in saying anything more.
However, he will settle the score later!
"So what are you planning to do next? If Master Liu can't handle this, they'll come back..."
Zhou Zhengtang was somewhat worried.
He himself was fine, and whatever Liu Jun wanted to do, he could handle it.
After all, he has the Zhou and Ren families as his backers.
But Su Hao is different; he doesn't have such a background. If Liu Jun finds out that Su Hao's letter led Liu Shi to ultimately side with Zhangjiabao, it would be a serious problem.
There's a high chance they'll come looking for trouble with him again.
Since she couldn't stay by Su Hao's side forever, Su Hao still had to rely on himself.
"It doesn't matter. If Master Liu can't handle this matter, then I won't have any more concerns."
Su Hao spoke calmly.
He didn't think that Liu Jun coming to cause him trouble was anything serious.
It all depends on whether Master Liu can handle this matter well.
If the other party continues to let Liu Jun act recklessly, then he will no longer give them any face.
"Well! Anyway, be careful. I'll ask Master Liu again tomorrow to find out what really happened."
Zhou Zhengtang sighed.
"But you're really something. You even took a palm strike from Senior Sister Liu before, right? That was the power of the Bronze Skin Realm, and you didn't seem to be hurt at all."
Zhou Zhengtang looked at Su Hao with some emotion.
As a fellow Bronze-Skin Realm martial artist, he knew how ruthless Liu Jun had been earlier.
If he hadn't recently broken through to the next level, he might have had his arm broken by a single punch from his opponent today.
This Liu Jun truly shows no mercy to his fellow disciples; he is tyrannical and domineering!
"He didn't use that much force on me..." Su Hao shook his head, "But Brother Zhou is really good at hiding it. He didn't even give a heads-up about when he broke through to the Bronze Skin Realm?"
"Isn't this learning from your hidden strength?"
Zhou Zhengtang chuckled, "But we've been exposed today, so we'll have one less trump card to play from now on. Brother Su, you'll have to make it up to me sometime..."
"Of course." Su Hao smiled as well. "It's getting late, I should head back."
"Why would you go back? Do you think my Zhou residence isn't spacious enough to accommodate you for one night?"
Zhou Zhengtang was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, Su Hao was still thinking about going back at this point.
Who knows if there are other martial artists following behind Liu Jun?
"No... I need to go out tomorrow, so I need to go back and prepare my things and leave early."
Su Hao shook his head, politely declining Zhou Zhengtang's offer to stay.
He then bid farewell to the other party and quickly left the Zhou residence.
"Why won't this guy listen to advice?"
Zhou Zhengtang shook his head helplessly.
However, seeing Su Hao wave goodbye, he was still worried about him, so he immediately asked the guards to call a coachman, and then took Su Hao with him in the carriage.
Su Hao was somewhat helpless about Zhou Zhengtang's actions.
However, since it was the other party's good intention, he couldn't refuse too much.
After being escorted back to his residence, Zhou Zhengtang did not linger and immediately instructed the coachman to drive away.
Su Hao stared in the direction the carriage had left for a while before turning his gaze away and returning to his residence.
After preparing the Eight Treasures Soup required for his daily consumption, Su Hao continued his daily cultivation.
At the same time, he was mentally reviewing tonight's battle.
Having practiced martial arts for so long, this was the first time he had faced a Bronze Skin Realm martial artist, and he also felt the gap between himself and the Bronze Skin Realm.
It's not as big as you might imagine.
When he faced Liu Jun's attack before, he only used the power of his Yue Shan Fist to defend against it.
Although he was at a disadvantage, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with himself because he relied on the two martial arts and the tempering of his body through the Iron Skin Realm twice.
Perhaps Liu Jun hadn't used his full strength in their previous encounters, but if it were a true life-or-death struggle, Su Hao was still somewhat confident he could handle it.
After all, he still had leg skills, and he hadn't yet used his heavy crossbow, light crossbow, poison, and other techniques.
Of course, these methods may not be ethical, but as long as they work, that's fine.
"But I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible, otherwise it's really unpleasant to be looked down upon!"
A hint of coldness also appeared in Su Hao's eyes.
Thinking about what Liu Jun did to him tonight, he realized that Liu Jun was treating him like a pushover.
The reasons given are completely baseless. Just because the other party wants to investigate him, he's expected to obey unconditionally…
"However, I've only just condensed a single blood vortex, and it will take at least half a month to break through to the next level. Therefore, I should probably still prioritize my cultivation of the Crimson Blood Palm!"
Su Hao made up his mind.
Walking the same road twice will make it easier and easier.
Now that his aptitude has broken through, the speed at which his Crimson Blood Palm is improving is arguably the fastest among all the martial arts techniques!
Instead of spending months waiting for a breakthrough in Yue Shan Fist, it's better to prioritize breaking through Crimson Blood Palm and formally enter the Bronze Skin level first.
As one's aptitude improves and one's Qi and blood increase, practicing the more difficult Yue Shan Fist will be much easier and more efficient.
Su Hao had always done this before, but recently he had temporarily put aside some of his Crimson Blood Palm training because he was practicing leg techniques.
But after what happened tonight, he also realized that he couldn't wait to improve his strength.
Otherwise, no one knows what kind of trouble might come knocking on their door one day.
And that's exactly what he needs right now.
Collecting his thoughts, Su Hao continued his cultivation.
He decided to go to Yanshan tomorrow to see if he could find any exotic beast meat.
In the past ten days or so, he has not been stingy with his spending on cultivation.
So, several hundred taels of silver were quickly consumed, with a third of it being used up.
Su Hao wasn't the type to sit around and live off his savings; he knew that if things continued this way, his money would eventually run out.
So, since I have some free time now, I might as well go to Yanshan and try my luck.
At the same time, you can also inquire about He Dazhong and others to see if they have found out who colluded with the Black Sparrow Gate and exposed their whereabouts.
