Su Xiangfei was silent. He did not follow Tang Xiu and work for him but went outside to work by himself. Though securing a foothold for himself in the outside world was difficult, he was still able to find a job to support himself and save some money.
In regards to Tang Xiu, what he felt inside was quite complicated. He had contempt and was hostile towards him in the past. He was full of hatred towards Tang Xiu after the drastic changes that happened to his family. But ever since he came to realize his mistakes and through the sufferings, he quickly and fully regretted it, and the hostility and hatred he had for Tang Xiu vanished.
He was willing to treat Tang Xiu as a relative. But when it came to work and sell his life to him, it was something he couldn’t do at present. He would naturally stand up and face the bystanders who wanted to bully Tang Xiu as his cousin, nevertheless.
Tang Xiu watched him. Though he had already guessed that Su Xiangfei would be like this before, he was still a bit disappointed, regardless. However, he still had another way around it, as he spoke in a deep tone, “Xiangfei, I know you can’t do that now, and it doesn’t matter to me. But if there’s something I can give you, will you be able to make your decision?”
“What is it, exactly?” Su Xiangfei’s brows slightly furrowed.
“You need money, and I can give you money. If it is a power that you want, I can give you power. And if you want women, I can do everything with the power in my hands to help you find them as well,” said Tang Xiu with all seriousness. “I can bestow you strength too if that is what you want, and I can even grant you eternal life!”
Eternal life?
With a strange expression, Su Xiangfei stared at Tang Xiu before he dumbly laughed and said, “Don’t say this kind of joke, will you?”
Tang Xiu snorted. After which, his feet slowly floated under the watchful eyes of Su Xiangfei. When he levitated two-plus meters above the ground, he slowly stretched his arms as dozens of pounds, and even hundreds of pounds of sharp stones around floated up. In just several seconds, hundreds of stones were floating around Tang Xiu.
“I-I… am I seeing things?”
Su Quan stepped back. After firmly stabilizing himself, he rubbed his eyes hard and murmured with an aghast and dumbstruck expression.
Su Ben, on the other hand, had his eyes turned saucer with disbelief cast on his face. His heart thumped wildly and his blood flow sped up violently. His whole being was thoroughly frightened by this strange scene.
Su Xiangfei himself was dumbfounded. The look he had on his face when staring at Tang Xiu was as though seeing a ghost. He watched the stones floating around Tang Xiu. It was the scene he had imagined for countless times that, he could become a superhuman one day, being able to fly, moving and toppling a mountain and overturning the ocean. Even he fantasized that the protagonist would be himself upon seeing such a scene in front of him.
But… when fantasy turned into reality, the impact was too big for him to bear, and what was left was fear.
While looking at him from above, Tang Xiu spoke in a deep voice, “The ability I’m showing you now is nothing but a minuscule part of the whole. I’m only using a small trick since I fear that you will be unable to stand it. If you are willing to work for me to the death, to become one of the people I trust the most in the future, I can make you have the ability that is countless times more powerful than this. When that time comes, let alone levitating in the air and controlling some stones to float, it will be easy for you to stand above and control a planet in the boundless universe!”
Su Xiangfei’s mouth was opened, yet he swallowed back his words.
“Tang Xiu, are you… are you some kind of celestial being?” Shouted Su Quan all of a sudden.
“Immortal?” Tang Xiu laughed loudly upon hearing it. “One day in the future, maybe all the Gods and Buddhas in Heaven will not even be worthy of being my adversary. So what you just called me is not entirely wrong.”
The expression on Su Quan’s face rapidly changed, and a look of ecstasy burst out of his eyes as he loudly shouted, “This Su Quan’s life is yours, Tang Xiu. As long as you can… make me become like you!”
Su Ben didn’t speak at all, but he clenched his fists and a firm expression could be seen filling his eyes.
With his heart thumping hard, there was a longing look on Su Xiangfei’s face, and he loudly spoke, “Tang Xiu, I want to have my parents celebrating the New Year with us. If you can do it, I’ll give my life to you. I’ll do anything whatever you ask me to.”
“No problem.” Tang Xiu nodded. “I have given you my word a year ago that your parents would return to the Su Family Village.”
He then waved his hand as hundreds of sharp stones smashed down the lake 100 meters away. As the sound of crashing rocks falling into the water filled the air, Tang Xiu’s feet stepped on the ground again, and then said, “Tonight I’ll teach you all a cultivation technique and help you step into the threshold of the cultivation path.”
Following that, Tang Xiu and the trio came to the periphery of the forest stone, as he then said in a deep voice, “Bear in mind that this forest stone is unusual. If an ordinary person advertently comes inside, they will definitely be lost inside. As a matter of fact, this is a stone array formed by nature and has an illusionary attribute in nature. You must observe clearly the spot I’ve stepped and cautiously follow me.”
“What’s a stone array?” Asked Su Quan curiously. “Is it like the Heavenly Gate Array developed by the Yang Family in The Yang’s Saga miniseries on TV?”
Tang Xiu thought for a moment and then answered, “You can think of it like that. Shortly put, for an ordinary person to rashly rush inside this stone array, they will only be lost inside. It’s like going through a maze, but I’m afraid that it’s impossible for him to get out of it again for his whole life.”
Shocked with the revelation, Sun Quan asked, “Do you have knowledge about arrays, Tang Xiu?”
