Chapter 110: Killing People and Destroying Their Hearts (Please subscribe, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)

Zuimanlou is the best restaurant in Dongcheng District.

Its owner is Ronghua Society.

The Ronghua Society has won over 80% of the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Dongcheng District, and these people’s daily banquets are usually held at Zuimanlou.

These people are the ones who are most willing to spend money in Dongcheng District.

With such a customer base, Zuimanlou naturally makes a fortune.

The decoration of Zuimanlou is the most luxurious, and the ingredients used are of the highest quality. Even the chefs are specially recruited from the inner city.

A meal here would cost at least a dozen taels of silver.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the constables of Dongcheng Division dare not step into Zuimanlou on weekdays.

Today, in the private room on the top floor of Zuimanlou, which is only used by Ronghua Club members to entertain guests, Ronghua Club President Ma Shuangcheng arrived early.

“He’s not here yet?”

Ma Shuangcheng’s face looked a little unhappy.

The dishes on the table have been changed twice, but Su Mu has not arrived yet.

When had Ma Shuangcheng ever waited for someone like this?

If he hadn’t considered the possibility of cutting a piece of meat from Dongcheng Si today, he would have left long ago.

“President, I have sent someone to invite him. He should be here soon.”

The shopkeeper of Zuimanlou said.

“Let’s change it again.”

The food on the table has gone cold, Ma Shuangcheng said casually.

“The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets.”

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door.

An old man with white hair and beard and ruddy complexion walked in. He had a loud voice that made people’s eardrums buzz when he spoke.

“As expected of the president of Ronghua Society, he would throw away the food if it gets a little cold. An ordinary family would not be able to finish this table of food in a year.”

The old man walked straight to Ma Shuangcheng, sat down, and unceremoniously grabbed a roast chicken on the table and took two bites.

“Shi Ziran? Why are you here?!”

Ma Shuangcheng’s expression changed slightly and he said in a deep voice.

Seeing the other party’s casual behavior, he couldn’t help but frown, “Why are you pretending to be compassionate? Have you done less evil?”

“I don’t waste food.”

Shi Ziran said casually, “As for why I am here, naturally someone invited me here.”

“Who invited you? Today I am hosting a banquet for Sima of Dongcheng!”

Ma Shuangcheng seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

“I invited him.”

Before Shi Ziran could answer, another voice was heard at the door.

A young figure walked in slowly. It was Su Mu, the new Sima of Dongcheng Division.

Su Mu was wearing plain clothes, with a sword hanging from his waist. He looked handsome, like a gentleman.

Even though Ma Shuangcheng disliked Su Mu in his heart, he had to admit that this young Sima Su was first-rate in both strength and appearance, and was the most outstanding person he had ever seen in his life.

“It’s a treat for one person, it’s a treat for two people, President Ma, you won’t mind, right?”

Su Mu walked straight to the middle of Ma Shuangcheng and Shi Ziran and sat down, saying lightly.

“do not mind.”

Ma Shuangcheng said expressionlessly.

Now that things have come to this, will it be useful for him to ask if he minds?

“Boss, there is nothing for you to do here, go down.”

Su Mu said casually, “I want to talk to President Ma and Master Shi.”

“This wine and food…”

The shopkeeper did not go down immediately, but looked at Ma Shuangcheng with some embarrassment.

“Go down.”

Ma Shuangcheng said expressionlessly, “Since some people like to eat leftovers, there is no need to change it.”

The shopkeeper then left as he was told.

With just a few simple words, the majesty of the president of Ronghua Society was undoubtedly revealed.

Sima of the Dongcheng Division’s words are not as effective as those of Chairman Ma.

At the beginning, Ma Shuangcheng taught Su Mu a lesson in a light-hearted manner.

After the door was closed, only Su Mu, Shi Ziran and Ma Shuangcheng were left in the room.

None of the three spoke. For a moment, the only sound in the room was Shi Ziran’s feasting.

After a moment, Ma Shuangcheng was the first one who couldn’t help it.

“Xiao Su Sima, you invited me here, didn’t you, just to let me watch someone eat?”

Ma Shuangcheng said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Shi was naturally not affected at all, and continued to eat all the plates in front of him in no time.

Su Mu watched with great interest. This was much more exciting than the food broadcasts in his previous life.

I don’t know why Shi Ziran, who looks so old, can still eat so much.

“Then President Ma, why do you think I want to meet you?”

Su Mu said lightly.

“I’m not a worm in Xiao Su Sima’s stomach, how can I know what you are thinking, Xiao Su Sima?”

Ma Shuangcheng snorted coldly, “But since Xiao Su Sima is unwilling to speak, I do have something I want to discuss with Xiao Su Sima.”

“discuss?”

Su Mu looked at Ma Shuangcheng with a half-smile, “I am an official, you are a civilian, what qualifications do you have to discuss this with me?”

Ma Shuangcheng’s face suddenly turned gloomy. Are you putting on airs in front of him, Ma Shuangcheng?
You probably don’t know yet, but who has the final say in Dongcheng District?
It is true that I, Ma Shuangcheng, am a commoner, but if you make me angry, I can make sure that you will never be able to be an official again!

“Haha, interesting!”

Shi Ziran suddenly laughed out loud, wiping his greasy hands on his clothes, “Xiao Su Sima is an official, and we are the people. If Xiao Su Sima has any instructions, we, the Qingcha Sect, will naturally follow them.”

Ma Shuangcheng looked at Shi Ziran and then at Su Mu with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

Could it be that the Qingcha Sect has already defected to the Dongcheng Division?
How could this old man Shi Ziran bow to Dongchengsi?

Among the three forces in Dongcheng District, Ronghua Society was originally the strongest. However, if Dongcheng Bureau and Qingcha Sect join forces, Ronghua Society, which was originally the strongest, will become the weakest.

“Xiao Su Sima, this is not how things are done.”

Ma Shuangcheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Well, let’s both take a step back. As long as you hand over all the businesses that were previously sealed to Ronghua Club, I can guarantee that during your tenure, Ronghua Club will give you enough face.”

“Are you teaching me what to do?”

Su Mu laughed, then his face suddenly darkened, and he said word by word, “Who do you think you are?”

“I–“

Ma Shuangcheng’s old face turned red and his chest heaved violently.

“you–“

He was so angry that he couldn’t speak clearly.

When had he, Ma Shuangcheng, ever suffered such an insult?
Who would dare to speak to Ma Shuangcheng, the Sima of the former Dongcheng Division, like this?

Do you really think that Ma Shuangcheng is an ordinary businessman?

“Listen, I’m not negotiating with you.”

Su Mu slowly poured himself a cup of tea, “Ronghua will manipulate grain prices and disrupt the market. According to Daxuan Law, a fine of three thousand gold will be imposed.”

“Three thousand gold? Are you crazy about money?!”

Ma Shuangcheng said angrily.

You are a fellow who was born a refugee, and you were lucky enough to become the Sima of Dongchengsi. Do you know how much three thousand gold is?
Have you ever seen so much silver in your life?

“So, President Ma, are you planning to refuse to pay the fine?”

Su Mu looked at Ma Shuangcheng and asked seriously.

“So what?” Ma Shuangcheng said angrily.

It is true that the Ronghua Society has won over most of the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Dongcheng District, but a large portion of the money they earn has to be sent to the inner city and handed over to the umbrellas behind them.

The rest will be divided among the families, and only a part of it will remain in Ronghua Society.

Three thousand gold is also a huge sum of money for Ronghua Society.

Not to mention that Ronghua Society cannot take it out, even if it can, it will definitely not be handed over to Dongchengsi for nothing.

“Yes, that’s easy.”

Su Mu said lightly.

Clang!
With a crisp sound, the Autumn Water Knife was unsheathed, transformed into a ray of sword light, and fell towards Ma Shuangcheng.

“I’ve been on guard against you!”

The moment the knife flashed, Ma Shuangcheng kicked his feet and the chair fell backwards. He flipped over and retreated to the door.

He had already carefully considered Su Mu’s character. He injured Nancheng Sima He Guangshao in Nancheng District, and then went to Dongcheng District, where he first captured Lichuan and then attacked Wei Zhankui.

Every time he acted vigorously and decisively.

Ma Shuangcheng had already thought that if they could not reach an agreement today, Su Mu might take action.

So he was always on guard.

He had already arranged for Ronghua Society’s best men to lurk in Zuimanlou.

It is true that Mr. Su is very strong, and I am no match for him in a one-on-one fight. However, as long as I leave this door, the masters of Ronghua Society will rush over.

As we all know, Su Mu has great comprehension and has mastered the artistic conception of Kanshui, but his body tempering realm is too low, and he can only temper his tendons at best.

No matter how powerful the Kanshui state of mind is, he will run out of energy after using it only a few times.

As long as there are enough people rushing forward, even if they are killed by him, once he has exhausted his physical strength and can no longer display the Kanshui artistic conception, he will only be at the third stage of body tempering, and it will not be difficult to kill them.

“I wanted to talk to you, but since you’re determined to die, don’t blame me!”

Ma Shuangcheng sneered in his heart. His back had already touched the door. As long as he exerted force, he could break the door down. The people he arranged would immediately protect him.

There are many people who want to kill Ma Shuangcheng, so who is Su Mu?

Shi Ziran sat in his seat, his ears moved slightly, and he looked up towards the door.

There are at least twenty masters hidden on this floor of Zuimanlou, and there are at least seven or eight masters at the Bone Tempering Realm and Tendon Tempering Realm.

Ma Shuangcheng is indeed cunning and sly.

Although Su Mu has mastered the artistic conception and has amazing explosive power, his biggest weakness is that he cannot last long.

Although the artistic conception is powerful, the consumption is also extremely great, which is not a method that should be mastered in the Body Tempering Realm.

Judging from Su Mu’s previous public performances, he was only at the third level of Body Tempering.

If he had not mastered the artistic conception, there would be many people in the outer city who could have killed him.

“You are still too young. You shouldn’t come here alone. Once you are trapped, artistic conception won’t be able to save you.

In the end, I have to save you.”

Shi Ziran said to himself.

Before he finished the thought, Shi Ziran’s pupils suddenly contracted.

An indescribable light flashed and disappeared.

Su Mu sat back slowly, with the Autumn Water Knife in his hand placed horizontally on his knees.

On the other side, Ma Shuangcheng, who was about to break down the door, suddenly stopped.

He stood at the door, his face full of disbelief.

A bright red line of blood appeared between his eyebrows and then quickly spread downwards.

“What a fast knife—”

A thought flashed through Ma Shuangcheng’s mind, and he felt infinite regret in his heart.

I still underestimated Su Mu.

boom!
Ma Shuangcheng fell to the ground, blood spread on the ground, and he gradually lost his breath.

Shi Ziran suddenly turned to Su Mu and stared at him with wide eyes, “You are not in the tendon tempering stage! You are in the bone tempering stage!”

He saw clearly that the sword that Su Mu used to kill Ma Shuangcheng just now did not use any artistic conception at all!

Although Ma Shuangcheng indulges in alcohol and women excessively, he is also a person who has entered the Bone Tempering Realm.

Without the use of artistic conception, ordinary people in the Tempering Muscles Realm would have no chance of killing him.

There are rumors outside that Su Mu is only at the Tempering Muscles Realm, and it is only because he has mastered the artistic conception that he was able to injure He Guangshao, the Sima of the Southern City Division.

This is fucking bullshit!

Su Mu had never shown his strength in the Bone Tempering Realm before, so there was no need for that.

It’s like there’s no need to use artistic conception to kill Ma Shuangcheng.

He can defeat He Guangshao by combining the strength of Tempering Tendons with the artistic conception, so why should he use the power of Tempering Bones?

Ma Shuangcheng, who indulged in alcohol and sex excessively, did not deserve to die under the artistic conception, so there was no need to display the artistic conception. It’s the same principle.

He is unwilling to use any extra strength, as it kills people and destroys their hearts.

“I never said I was in the Tempering Muscles Realm.”

Su Mu said lightly.

You thought I was tempering my tendons, but actually I have tempered my bones.

You thought I was tempering my bones, but actually I have mastered two artistic conceptions.

You think I have only mastered two artistic conceptions, so maybe I have changed my blood.

What you see is always my strength in the past tense.

There was a flash of shock in Shi Ziran’s eyes, and his heart was in turmoil.

Bone tempering, he actually entered the bone tempering realm!

Ever since Su Mu became famous, everything about him has been revealed.

He was born a refugee, and because he was appreciated by Taiping Captain Lin Qihuan, he had the opportunity to learn the Fu Bo sword technique.

With his outstanding comprehension, it only took him one year to perfect the Fu Bo sword technique and master the Fu Bo sword stance.

Afterwards, he joined the Nancheng Division, starting as an ordinary constable, then a squad leader and a captain.

Until today, in just two years, he has become Sima of Dongcheng Division.

All in all, he has only been exposed to martial arts for three years.

Reaching the fourth level of body tempering in three years, almost one level per year, what kind of speed is this?

Looking at the Great Xuan Dynasty, this body tempering speed can be considered among the best.

“The young lady’s vision is as discerning as her mother’s. This Su Mu is indeed a genius.”

Shi Ziran secretly said in his heart, “As long as he doesn’t die midway, he will definitely have a place in the future Great Xuan Dynasty.”

As he was thinking, Shi Ziran felt Su Mu’s eyes on him.

“Xiao Su Sima, my Qingcha Sect shouldn’t have offended you like the Ronghua Society did, right?”

Stone Natural Road.

“The Ronghua Society has not offended me.”

Su Mu shook his head and said, “Ma Shuangcheng will die because he violated the Great Xuan Law, not because he offended me.”

“That’s fine. My Qingcha Sect has always been law-abiding.”

Shi smiled naturally.

“Better so.”

Su Mu said lightly, he stood up, picked up the knife and walked out.

Open the door and kill people.

Shi Ziran burst out laughing. It turned out that he was invited here just to make an example of someone and scare him with the fate of Ronghua Society?

I was actually taught a lesson by a young man.

However, this method of changing the weather with the times is barely worthy of a young lady.

Shi Ziran said to himself.

　The second update. The third update is still being written, it will be a little later. I don’t have any drafts saved, please forgive me brothers~
