CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 413 LIU XIN’S CHOICE

Liu Xin could only watch helplessly as Liu Yue was taken away.

Soon, the room was left with only Liu Xin and that bottle of poison.

Liu Xin’s gaze fixed on the poison bottle, her eyes sometimes dim, sometimes bright, like sunlight shining into a secluded spring, with undulating ripples.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Liu Xin’s eyes finally firmed up, and she gripped the bottle of poison tightly.

...

On the other side, Xiao Zhan was just about to board the plane to Qin Wanfeng’s place.

Suddenly, his communicator rang.

It was a call from Liu Xin.

He didn’t want to answer, because he no longer had any good feelings towards Liu Xin, but thinking about the possibility that she could resolve the issue of the Death Aura, he still answered.

"Where are you now?"

"At the airport. What’s up?" Xiao Zhan replied.

"There is something, concerning the solution to the side effects of the Death Aura."

Xiao Zhan frowned immediately, "Aren’t you clueless right now?"

"I’ve thought of a possibility, maybe we can try it."

"What possibility?"

"Come here and I’ll explain in person."

Xiao Zhan glanced at Ye Youlong, who nodded without much hesitation. Xiao Zhan then said, "Alright, I’m coming over now."

After hanging up the communicator, Xiao Zhan didn’t pause for a moment, left the airport, and rushed towards Liu Xin’s place.

It wasn’t far from the airport to her place, and soon, Xiao Zhan and his companion arrived.

Seeing Liu Xin, noticing her mood seemed a bit too off, as if covered by dark clouds, Xiao Zhan didn’t think much and directly asked, "What’s the solution? No matter the cost, I’m willing to try."

Love is precious, life is of even greater value.

This was a double overlay of love and life for Xiao Zhan, so everything else could be forsaken.

"Do you want to know who in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest wanted to kill you?" Instead of answering his question, Liu Xin asked a question of her own.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan paused for a moment, then took out a Jade Pendant from the Dimension Space, "Su Family."

In the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, when Xiao Zhan killed Su Zhenggong, he knew there must be some interest connection between Liu Xin and the Su Family.

However, since Liu Xin kept saying she could help Xiao Zhan resolve the Death Aura issue, Xiao Zhan didn’t kill her at the time, but kept sparing her life.

Liu Xin looked at the Jade Pendant, engraved with the character "Su".

This was indeed Su Mingdi’s Jade Pendant.

"I didn’t expect you already knew," Liu Xin said.

Xiao Zhan sneered. There weren’t many people he encountered, who could send so many experts to assassinate him other than the people from the eight major families, Xiao Zhan couldn’t think of anyone else.

However, the current focus wasn’t here. The trouble with the Su Family, Xiao Zhan would sooner or later clean up.

"What does telling me this have to do with solving the Death Aura?" Xiao Zhan asked coldly.

Liu Xin replied, "The Su Family has a treasure called the Holy Spirit Pearl, which releases a kind of Holy Spirit Light. Anyone bathed in this light, whether it’s their talent or their Artifact Spirit Level, will see improvement."

"Even just bathing in it for a long enough time, breaking through to SSS-level is not a problem."

"I currently have limited strength and level; if I can break through to the SSS-level Insight Eye, I would be able to discern the solution to the Death Aura."

Xiao Zhan understood, "So what you’re saying is, let me help you get the Holy Spirit Pearl, and then help you break through to the SSS-level?"

What a huge joke, using him as free labor?

"I’m just stating the solution, whether or not you want to use this method is up to you," Liu Xin said, looking at Xiao Zhan and then added, "Also, after getting the Holy Spirit Pearl, it’s not just for my use, you can use it too, it’s beneficial for enhancing your strength as well."

Xiao Zhan was silent for two seconds, his expression resolutely firm, "Where is the Holy Spirit Pearl in the Su Family?"

He had agreed.

The reasons were simple, first, to survive, and second, the Su Family had grievances with him.

"At the Su Family’s estate," Liu Xin smiled, she knew Xiao Zhan would agree.

"Tonight, I will steal it back."

"Steal?" Liu Xin shook her head, her look at Xiao Zhan suddenly turned intense and cold, "With such deep hatred between the Su Family and your Ye Family, you’re just going to steal?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes.

"What are you suggesting?"

"Eradicate the roots, eliminate the problem forever!"

Eight ruthless words!

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s expression involuntarily tightened, but it was just a twitch, as such a thought had already been rehearsed in his mind.

Liu Xin was right, given the deep enmity like that between the Su Family and the Ye Family, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t let the Su Family go.

Likewise, given how many experts from the Su Family Xiao Zhan had killed, the Su Family wouldn’t let the Ye Family go.

This was a mortal feud.

But Xiao Zhan knew the Su Family was a giant; destroying them wasn’t something that could be done in a short time.

Most importantly, although Xiao Zhan was capable of resolving the Su Family, it all had to be done quietly, without alerting the higher-ups.

Otherwise, once the higher-ups noticed, they would definitely intervene, and Xiao Zhan wouldn’t be able to thoroughly resolve the trouble of the Su Family.

If you don’t strike, it’s fine, but when you strike, it must be shocking!

This was Xiao Zhan’s attitude towards the Su Family.

"Let’s talk after I finish my work first, we can’t make a move during this period," Xiao Zhan said.

Dealing with the Su Family required careful planning, otherwise, it would be hard to eradicate them completely.

This was Dragon Capital, the center of concentrated power, any little disturbance, and everyone would know.

In a mishandled situation, before Xiao Zhan could finish his killings, people from various powers would have already rushed over.

So Xiao Zhan couldn’t act rashly.

But Liu Xin seriously said, "No, you don’t have time to choose."

"What do you mean?"

"Three days."

Liu Xin took out the bottle of poison Su Hongtian had given her, "My sister Liu Yue was captured by the Su Family, and they threatened to kill you within three days. This poison is meant to kill you, no matter how powerful you are, if you drink this, you will absolutely die!"

"So you only have three days to deal with the Su Family. If you can’t resolve it within three days, my sister will die, I will die, and ultimately you will die too!"

Xiao Zhan’s eyes contracted, he didn’t expect Liu Xin to tell him about this.

Looking at the bottle of poison in Liu Xin’s hand, his senses detected, filled with an evil presence, indeed, it was a horrific type of poison.

If he unknowingly drank it, he would definitely die beyond doubt!

He looked into Liu Xin’s eyes, his gaze curious yet somewhat indifferent, "Asking me to drink the poison, that’s far simpler than having me kill the entire Su Family, why did you still choose me?"
