Chapter 92: Book Stealing

When they heard what Su Chen said, they instantly perked up.

“How do we find the masked person?”

Su Chen pointed at the Imaging Disk. “Look, although the masked person was able to steal Kaihuang’s Heaven, they still activated a small trap I set up for them. They knocked over that vial of medicine.”

The two of them looked where Su Chen was pointing and saw that the masked person did indeed knock over a vial of medicine as they were taking the manual. It was probably more accurate to say that the vial of medicine had been placed with the book, and a hook had been connected to both the drawer itself and the vial of medicine. When the masked person pulled open the drawer, they unstoppered the vial as well, causing the medicine inside to pour out. However, nothing seemed to happen or come out of the vial; those unaware of what was happening might have thought that it was just empty.

However, since Su Chen said that it was a small trap he had left behind, it wouldn’t actually be that simple.

“What’s inside the vial?” Zhu Xianyao asked.

“Thousand Kilometer Incense,” Su Chen replied.

When they heard Su Chen, their eyes lit up. There was no need for Su Chen to explain anything.

Zhu Xianyao said, “Go find an Incense-Sniffing Mouse quickly! We can track the scent to determine who exactly dared to steal the Zhu Clan’s secret technique.”

To Zhu Xianyao, Kaihuang’s Heaven already belonged to the Zhu Clan alone.

“What should we do once we find it?” Zhu Chen asked.

“Kaihuang’s Heaven cannot be exposed. Anyone who has come into contact with it….. must die!” Zhu Xianyao said, her voice filled with a thick killing intent.

Zhu Chen left to follow her orders. Most likely, he had gone to gather people for the chase.

When Zhu Chen left, only Su Chen and Zhu Xianyao remained.

Su Chen sighed, “I never expected that matters would take such a drastic turn. I hope that this won’t affect the agreement between us.”

Zhu Xianyao naturally knew what agreement Su Chen was referring to. She originally felt like the man before her was smart, but when she thought of their kiss earlier, she knew that he was actually just a lecher. The disdain in her heart greatly increased, and she regretted allowing herself to be taken advantage of by him. As such, she lost all pretense of cordiality as she said coldly, “As long as you cancel the clan’s notice and accept the Zhu Clan’s Sorrow-Erasing Baptism, we will follow through on our end.”

“What is the Sorrow-Erasing Baptism?” Su Chen didn’t understand.

“The Sorrow-Erasing Baptism is one of the Zhu Clan’s Absolute Techniques. It causes a person to forget everything that has happened within a certain period of time. As long as you accept this baptism and completely forget Kaihuang’s Heaven, our cooperation will be considered complete.” Since matters had progressed to this point already, Zhu Xianyao felt that there was no need to keep certain things concealed from Su Chen.

o that’s how it is?

Su Chen finally realized what was happening.

He and Shi Kaihuang had been unable to understand one thing. The Zhu Clan could deal with Su Chen, but how would they take care of Shi Kaihuang?

If Su Chen was killed, then he was killed, but Shi Kaihuang was one of the Hidden Dragon Institute’s instructors. No matter where they killed him, it would definitely cause a great uproar.

With the Sorrow-Erasing Baptism, however, the end result was much simpler.

The Zhu Clan was without question planning on using this technique to deal with Shi Kaihuang. That way the matter could be concluded without ever killing anyone, and from that point onwards Kaihuang’s Heaven would belong to the Zhu Clan alone.

If they had a significant amount of control over the Sorrow-Erasing Baptism, they could even cause Su Chen to forget the contents of their agreement.

And if Su Chen couldn’t remember the terms of their agreement, they wouldn’t need to pay any price at all.

Quite a good plan.

Su Chen silently laughed, his heart cold.
