Chapter 332
“It’s easy to talk to smart people, that’s right.”
Su Chen smiled and nodded, then continued, “The rest of those people have been left alone for so long, now it’s time for them to pay back.”
Speaking of this, his expression turned slightly cold, and a faint killing intent emanated from between his eyebrows.
“But I heard that Zhongzhou is not peaceful now. The forces there are intertwined due to the downfall of your family. Many forces have divided the former Lin Family’s property. Many have declined, and similarly, many have risen.”
Luo Shen frowned slightly and said softly.
“When soldiers come, we’ll block them with generals; when water comes, we’ll block it with earth. If these forces are allowed to continue to develop, they will be difficult to deal with. We must stir up the muddy waters of Zhongzhou.”
Su Chen said with a smile, looking at the teacup in front of him casually, very unrestrained and flamboyant.
Luo Shen nodded, noncommittal to Su Chen’s words.
On the other side, Natasha and Ao Weisi went to the residence of the surviving younglings together.
The younglings of other races had already been taken away, and most of the remaining ones were from the Dragon Clan and the Mermaid Clan. Because of their different races, they were placed in two separate rooms.
Natasha and Ao Weisi easily found the surviving younglings.
As soon as the door opened, the group of Mermaid Clan younglings were not familiar with Natasha because she was not present when they were still in the clan.
But Ao Weisi was different. As the Grand Elder of the Mermaid Clan, the younglings had almost all grown up seeing him.
Therefore, as soon as they saw the Grand Elder, they all gathered around him.
“Grand Elder, we finally see you.”
A little girl said, her throat choking with sobs.
She had heard Natasha say before that the elders of the Mermaid Clan had all sacrificed, and she was very sad. Now that she saw a member of her clan, she was overjoyed.
The others were the same, looking at the Grand Elder with anticipation, their eyes full of joy.
The Grand Elder looked at them lovingly and said softly, “I’m back now. I will protect you from now on.”
The younglings nodded seriously.
After they reminisced for a while, Ao Weisi then said, “Where is Xiaoran?”
When he said this, his expression involuntarily became tense.
After all, it was his grandson. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t care. He had been holding back from asking because he didn’t want to spoil everyone’s good mood.
When the younglings heard this, they all looked in one direction. One of the little girls was the first to speak, “Brother Xiaoran is inside. He seems to have suffered a great blow, so he hasn’t seen anyone these past few days.”
Ao Weisi’s heart tightened when he heard this. He immediately walked in and saw Xiaoran curled up in a ball in the corner.
“Xiaoran, Grandpa is here.”
Ao Weisi stood in front of Xiaoran for a long time before he choked up and said.
The hard disguise he had put on seemed to fade away at this moment. The once indestructible Grand Elder was now just a fragile old man.
Xiaoran heard Ao Weisi’s words and raised his head, his eyes filled with a bit of confusion, then filled with tears. He suddenly threw himself into Ao Weisi’s arms.
“Grandpa, they said you were all dead. I didn’t believe it. I knew Grandpa wouldn’t leave me.”
Xiaoran cried and cried, his hands tightly hugging Ao Weisi, afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion.
Seeing this scene, Natasha couldn’t help but cover her mouth and shed tears.
Since she left the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm, she had not stopped looking forward to seeing her clansmen for a moment, and she could understand the feelings of these younglings.
This scene of the reunion of grandfather and grandson made the others tacitly refrain from interrupting and silently walked out.
“It’s great. Xiaoran finally saw his grandpa. Before, when we were with that demon, he was always the one who encouraged us to persevere.”

“Yeah, he missed Grand Elder so much. When he learned that Grand Elder might not be alive, he shut himself off, as if he had lost all hope.”
Several Mermaid Clan younglings spoke one after another, all without exception happy for Xiaoran.
Natasha pursed her lips and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, feeling that it was fortunate that things hadn’t reached the point of no return.
She knew that what they had now was already a blessing.
“Shall I teach you some spells?”
Natasha looked at the group of Mermaid Clan younglings tenderly, slightly bowing her body.
The younglings opened their watery eyes and looked at Natasha curiously.

After Su Chen talked with Luo Shen about some matters, he successfully left. As soon as he returned to his residence and was about to rest, he saw Yizhuyue hesitating at the door.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Just come in if you have something to say.”
Seeing that she had been discovered, Yizhuyue didn’t hesitate and walked straight in, sitting next to Su Chen.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing that Yizhuyue didn’t speak, Su Chen couldn’t help but ask again.
“The news that you are the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor has spread throughout the Western Wasteland. They only know that it’s a human, but they don’t know your specific identity. Next, the other two Heavenly Dao envoys probably won’t let us go.”
Yizhuyue said this with uncontainable worry in her eyes.
Su Chen had thought of this possibility from the very beginning when he used this title to summon the beasts, so he was not afraid at all.
“Even so, it was the best solution at that time. Moreover, the news in the Western Wasteland is actually relatively closed off. We plan to go to Zhongzhou next. Zhongzhou is the closest to the Western Wasteland. We’ll catch them off guard.”
Su Chen smiled faintly, not worried at all.
Yizhuyue thought about it and agreed. She subconsciously touched her belly.
“Then when shall we leave for Zhongzhou?”
Yizhuyue asked.
“In a few days, when things have completely settled down, we’ll go.”
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then said.
Now that the entire Western Wasteland was in ruins, coupled with the idea he had just discussed with Luo Shen, it would take at least three days.
“Are you so concerned about my affairs because you’ve fallen in love with me?”
Su Chen smiled mischievously and pulled Yizhuyue into his arms.
Yizhuyue’s whole body stiffened. She was still not used to Su Chen’s touch, her body stiff as a log. After she reacted, her face turned as red as a peach, and she stammered, “You’re so annoying. I’m talking to you about serious matters.”
“Aren’t the matters between the two of us serious?” Su Chen wrapped his arms around Yizhuyue’s waist, buried his head in her neck, smelled her unique fragrance, and couldn’t help but close his eyes in intoxication.
“…I guess so.” Yizhuyue immediately became embarrassed. After being silent for a long time, she whispered.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.
