Afther I Take The Position As The Patriarch, All Of My Family Members Become The Fated Protagonists

Chapter 28: Pass It On, the City Lord Will Be the Dog of Patriarch Su!!

As soon as Liu Chengfeng knelt down, his true essence rippled, and he immediately straightened his body again, trying to act like nothing had happened.

But this scene was still witnessed by the townspeople on the street.

“The Su family really is overbearing beyond compare!”

“Yeah! The Ma and Wang families were both wiped out by them, and even the City Lord knelt at their gates!”

“What! The City Lord kowtowed three times and bowed nine times in front of the Su residence!”

“What!!! The City Lord wants to become the Su Family Leader’s dog!”

“What? The Su Family Leader married off his dog to the City Lord?”

“Huh?? A dog became the City Lord of Tianwu City???”

Hearing these increasingly off-track rumors, Liu Chengfeng’s face turned darker than the bottom of a pot. But in front of the Su residence, he dared not act rashly.

“Damn it!! When I get back, I’ll hang all you rumor-spreaders from the trees!!”

Liu Chengfeng cursed silently in his heart, then fled the Su residence as if running for his life.

But as he left, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d forgotten to say something important?

Inside the Su residence, many of the family members had seen the City Lord’s respectful demeanor toward their family leader just now.

Each and every one of them felt a swell of pride and couldn’t help but hold their heads a little higher.

“The strength of the Family Leader is such that even the City Lord bows down—I must cultivate diligently so I don’t shame the family!!”

“To be born into the Su Family and receive the Family Leader’s protection, truly an honor. If I don’t cultivate properly to repay the family, what kind of person would I be!?”

The Su Family disciples became even more motivated in their cultivation.

“Big Brother, the City Lord Su came just now,” Su Chao walked up to Su Zhou.

He curiously glanced at the black-robed old guard, but didn’t ask much—since he was Big Brother’s man, he was surely trustworthy.

“Mm. In a year and a half, a certain legacy Secret Realm will open outside Tianwu City. The Su family is eligible to enter.”

Su Zhou spoke casually.

But while his tone was light, what Su Chao heard struck him like a thunderclap.

“What!! Our Su Family qualifies too?!” Su Chao’s face was filled with shock, his mouth gaping open.

Within a Secret Realm, opportunities abound and fortunes lie everywhere. This was well-known across the entire continent. But not just anyone could enter a Secret Realm.

The forces eligible to enter were, without exception, incomparably powerful.

Even the so-called Three Great Families of Tianwu were honored just to maintain order at the outer edges of such places.

Yet now, their Big Brother had somehow obtained entry rights for the Su Family.

What Su Chao didn’t realize, however, was that this wasn’t something Su Zhou had fought for—

The other side had been scared out of their wits and was practically begging Su Zhou to accept it.

“No need to be so surprised. The Su Family’s future doesn’t end here,” Su Zhou smiled at Su Chao’s exaggerated expression.

Su Chao forcibly suppressed his excitement and nodded vigorously.

The Family Leader’s methods are simply too miraculous. At this rate, perhaps I really can reunite with my wife.

“By the way, pass down my instructions: from now on, all children in the family between the ages of seven and eighteen are to be placed into the black cauldron inside the ancestral residence, using the inscribed pill recipes to temper their bones and sinews.”

“Those who perform outstandingly are to be sent deeper into the ancestral residence to comprehend that diagram.”

Those two ancestral artifacts had appeared out of nowhere inside the ancestral grounds. The family members had long noticed, but all assumed they were the Family Leader’s doing and dared not tamper with them.

“Understood, Big Brother.” Su Chao nodded, then turned to go carry out the orders.

He didn’t ask more—he knew that whatever Su Zhou arranged must have deeper meaning.

Over the past few days, the family members’ cultivation speed had mysteriously increased.

Many had reached the Meridian-Unblocking realm, and those stewards who had been given pills by Su Zhou had successfully advanced to the Nine Apertures realm.

The entire Su Family was thriving.

[Ding!!! The Su family members’ respect for the Family Leader has deepened. Family Luck +100]

[Ding!! With the blessing of the Fortune Golden Dragon, additional luck +200]

“So the Fortune Golden Dragon has this kind of effect too? Not bad!”

Hearing the system notification in his ears, Su Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, two bickering voices reached his ears.

“Brother Buku, dragging me into the mountains for training is useless!!”

“Yang’er, with your talent, how can you afford to be so lazy? Do you not realize how well the Family Leader treats you??”

“Pah! Of course I know the Family Leader treats me well—I revere him as if he were a god!”

“Then how can you still be so lazy? How can you face the Family Leader like this?” Su Buku scolded, angry at his lack of motivation.

Su Yang looked completely helpless.

At this moment, Su Yang was only a step away from the Qi Transformation Realm. With such talent, there was no one in the entire Divine Xia Empire who could match him at such a young age—he was only thirteen.

Of course, on ordinary days, Su Yang masked his cultivation with the Nine Tribulations Sword, so no one but Su Zhou knew his freakish cultivation speed.

Recently, Su Buku had discovered his own unique physique due to constantly training with beasts in the mountains, tempering his killing intent.

By coincidence, the day before yesterday, Su Yang had broken through to the peak of the Blood Tempering realm just as Su Buku returned from one of his battles.

Only then did Su Buku realize what kind of genius this younger family member was.

Hence, the current scene.

Su Yang, however, was full of unspoken grievances. In his past life, he was the Poison Marquis—his killing techniques were top-tier, and the Nine Tribulations Sword allowed him to restore his cultivation.

What he needed was pills—constant pill consumption to raise his realm.

Other people suffered from side effects like blocked meridians, talent degradation, or pill toxicity,

But Su Yang had none of those issues—

The Nine Tribulations Sword perfectly absorbed the medicinal effects of pills without any backlash.

Combined with the Heaven and Earth Spring Concealment Art gifted by the Family Leader, his spiritual energy absorption was terrifying.

That’s how he had achieved such a realm in just a few days.

He also noticed that his Brother Buku was different from his past life.

That terrifying killing aura, though hidden deep inside, was obvious to someone like him—someone who had once been the Poison Marquis who killed without blinking.

The two of them walked entirely different paths:

Su Buku needed to constantly undergo life-and-death battles to comprehend the intent of slaughter and grow stronger.

Whereas Su Yang simply needed to take pills to raise his realm—his combat instincts were already engraved into his soul.

The former burned his life force.

The latter simply popped pills.

So, following Su Buku into the mountains was a complete waste of time for Su Yang.

Su Zhou turned and saw the two of them bickering, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

“Wool comes from the sheep, after all.”

Two ethereal and beautiful voices echoed in Su Zhou’s ears.
