Chapter 300 – Successful Enslavement for the First Time (1/2)

Being considered a loser in the eyes of other people, was not enough to force Su Gu to give up. He knew his situation, had analyzed and concluded the possible results if he failed. Some people advised him to bend his knee to his two brothers now, and openly state his intentions to not participate in the Lordship competition. However, Su Gu knew the personality of his two brothers clearly. No matter which one of those two become the Lord of Fallen Leaves City, Su Gu would not get to live a happy life, even if he survived the end of the Lordship title conflict.

So Su Gu decided to compete with his two brothers. A slave master who had no ambition was not considered competent enough.

Since Su Gu was determined, he kept practicing his enslavement ability in his chamber every day, without others getting a wind of it. However, a slew of countless failures lessened Su Gu’s confidence in himself.

Since he had attempted the enslavement ability numerous times, Su Gu’s mind was attuned to even the slightest change in his ability. Feeling the difference that day, Su Gu was keeping an eye out for experiencing the same perception once more, while he practiced the enslavement ability again. To his pleasant surprise, Su Gu found that, he was able to use the enslavement ability much more easily compared to the previous times.

*What was going on?*

Calming down, Su Gu began to analyze the possible reason for this sudden change. He first thought that it could be due to his daily practice, but he immediately shot down that line of logic – there had never been such obvious changes during his countless practice sessions until this day. In the past few days, his practice time was even less than usual because of various things, but the final result now made him feel stumped.

*Why?*

*Why was this happening?*

Su Gu recalled the things that he had done during these two days and replayed them in his mind one by one. Midway, he suddenly stopped his action of drumming his study tabletop with his fingers, and he thought of a possibility –

*Shao Xuan from the Flaming Horn tribe!*

*The one who has the ability to predict like the Shaman!*

*Yes, the change seems to have happened then*. Su Gu didn’t pay attention to it then because he had been preoccupied with other troubles. But now, in retrospect, he remembered that he indeed felt different at that time, as if a scoop of turbid water mixed with sand was filtered by densely woven linen (t/n: basically, Su Gu seems to have felt his enslavement ability become purer and powerful).

The more Su Gu thought about it, the surer he felt.

In his room, Su Gu with his mind in chaos, walked back and forth, hopped around, clenched his fist and waved it hard. After a while, taking a few deep breaths, Su Gu tried to calm himself down.

To confirm his speculation, the very same day, Su Gu came to look for Shao Xuan again.

Shao Xuan took out a Water Moon stone to enlighten the room. Looking at the young slave master who was unbridled at the moment, Shao Xuan did not drive him away, but once again began observing the changes of the flame within his mind. He guessed that Su Gu had experienced some favorable changes because of the eggshell in his mind. Su Gu wanted to get benefit from him, while Shao Xuan himself wanted to study the power of the slave masters – so, it was a win-win deal for both of them.

The red and blue flames became more orderly and the flames of the two colors gathered up by themselves and became distinct. When Su Gu cast the power of enslavement, the blue flame that appeared on his hand became more and more stable, unlike the previous times when were likely to be blown away by the wind.

Lei, who slept in the room opposite to Shao Xuan, looked at the moon outside the window and then at the light coming from Shao Xuan’s room, thinking: *What was the third young master still doing here? Is there something wrong with his brain?*

Su Gu stayed in Shao Xuan’s room until the next day.

When the tribesmen, who woke up early in the morning, got together to discuss about the cooperation between the Flaming Horn tribe and the third young master again, the front door of the Flaming Horn tribe’s residence was opened. The third young master of Fallen Leaves City, whom they were just talking about, walked out of the house with a straight face, as if something had made him very angry.

After Su Gu left, the tribesmen who had gathered together to chat still had an unbelievable expression.

“Is that person… Su Gu? The third young master of Fallen Leaves City?”

“It seems to be.”

“That is definitely Su Gu!”

“Why did Su Gu come out of the residence of Flaming Horn tribe this early in the morning? Could it be that he came there before it is light?”

“I heard that Su Gu had come last night. So he spent the whole night there?”

Even if some slave masters had formed an alliance with tribesmen, no slave master was ever known to have stayed over in the tribal area for a whole night. No wonder these tribesmen were trying hard to wrap their minds around what they had seen.

“Look at Su Gu’s expression, Did he quarrel with the Flaming Horn tribe?”

“Maybe they failed to have a successful negotiation on something.”

“I think so.”
