Tribulation of Myriad Races

Inside the reception room, Su Long stared at Su Yu silently. As for Su Yu, he was sipping tea in a leisurely manner.

After a while, he nonchalantly asked, "What is it? Brother, why are you staring at me? Is there anything interesting on my face?"

"Brother?" With an odd look in his eyes, Su Long said, "Are you sure you should be calling me brother?"

"Big Brother!"

Chen Long exclaimed gloomily. Holy shit. Please don't mess around. His big brother was quite cautious normally. What was up with him today? To be honest, this young man was already being very respectful by calling him brother. Was his big brother not aware of his own cultivation level?

Chen Long was just about to say something when Su Yu blanked out. What? What was the meaning of that? Him calling his old man brother...cough, cough, was indeed inappropriate. But he was currently Cui Lang.

He was a pseudo earth weaponsmith. He was already showing a lot of respect calling a mere Skysoar brother. It seemed like...there was a hidden meaning behind those words of his father.

Su Yu suddenly felt extremely gloomy. Was he so bad that he couldn't even hide his disguise from a Skysoar anymore? It wasn't even a strong Skysoar. His old man was a weak 36-acupoint Skysoar. Was he really that bad?

Despite what he was thinking, he didn't wait for Chen Long to explain. He said, "Fine. This...General Chen, is this your subordinate?"

He was being truthful. He did not know about the relationship between Su Long and Chen Long. But...something seemed odd. What did Chen Long call his father earlier? Big brother? What was the meaning of that?

Also, why was his father even here? He was very confused. He had been busy thinking of a way to approach Chen Long and infiltrate the Devil Subduing Army to meet his father. But his father had actually been delivered right to his face.

Su Long remained silent. Chen Long hurriedly explained, "This is my previous leader, also my big brother. He's here to ask you about someone, Master Cui."

"Previous leader?"

Su Yu was stunned yet again. He had the urge to curse. What were they talking about? Previous leader? His father had retired from the military eighteen years ago. This was the nineteenth year since his previous retirement.

At that time, he was a team leader as a Great Strength cultivator. In short, this fellow was weaker than his father back then? He used to be weaker than a middle-stage Great Strength cultivator. But in nineteen years, he had reached the Mountainsea Realm.

Su Yu was very surprised. And he became a lot more solemn. Since Chen Long was around the second or third stage of the Mountainsea Realm, he must have entered the Mountainsea Realm in about fifteen years.

Since he was a comrade of Su Yu's father, he must be a commoner. He might not have graduated from any academy at all. A common soldier like this had grown into the Mountainsea Realm in only fifteen years.

Even among pure warriors, he could already be considered a top genius. A lot of the so-called geniuses in the academies wouldn't even be as talented. Su Yu was greatly shocked. Holy shit. If it wasn't for him, his father might have done very well for himself in the army as well. After all, he had a Mountainsea as his little brother.

But Su Yu was still slightly skeptical. He didn't doubt the identity of this Chen Long. Rather, he doubted that a Mountainsea would willingly remain the little brother of a Skysoar. Was this an arrangement of the Xia Family?

Or was it someone else? Did someone send Chen Long to his father's side? He maintained the same expression while thinking about all that. Meanwhile, Su Long continued staring at Su Yu. When he saw Su Yu lifting the cup of tea and taking a sip from it out of sheer habit, he curled his lips.

The more he looked, the more this person resembled his son. That was how his son had always been. When he was deep in thought, he would drink or eat something to cover it up. Was he deep in thought?

Was he shocked to see that his old man had a Mountainsea little brother? This was most definitely his son.

The more he looked, the more sure Su Long was. The look in this fellow's eyes, the way he carried himself, and the minute details of how he moved. All these were things that people would not notice unless they were absolutely familiar with Su Yu. But who was Su Long?

He was someone who had raised Su Yu from a baby. One's face could be changed. One's voice could be changed. But a lot of mannerisms would remain.

Su Yu stopped thinking about all that. He said, "General Chen, what do you wish to ask me about?"

Chen Long hurriedly said, "We wish to ask about Su Yu. The same person who has left Great Xia to join Great Ming. Su Yu is my nephew and the son of my big brother. Master Cui, you're from Great Ming as well. Do you know Su Yu?"

"..."

What? He had gained an uncle out of nowhere. He found that he had gained a lot of random relatives out of nowhere recently. First, there was the grandfather-in-law. Then, there was the martial mother. And now, he got himself a new uncle as well.

He was grumbling inwardly, but he revealed a shocked expression as he exclaimed, "Su Yu's father?"

He looked at Su Long with astonishment and said, "Is this Su Yu's father? No wonder. In that case, I should call you uncle instead. I met Su Yu before. We're quite close..."

Chen Long exclaimed in joy, "Master Cui, you know that nephew of mine?"

"Of course." Su Yu said, "Nobody in Great Ming doesn't know him. Who doesn't know Elder Su? Of course, we're brothers. I met him several times before and we got along very well."

Su Long suddenly interrupted, "Did he ever tell you how old he was when he used to wet his bed due to nightmares?"

"..."

Silence descended.

Nobody said a single word. Su Yu looked incomparably awkward. What was this? Chen Long was also stupefied. What was his big brother doing? Was it appropriate to embarrass his son in front of someone else?

"When he first started getting his nightmares, he was six. He peed on his bed when he was already six years old. Do you know that?"

"..."

Su Yu awkwardly said, "Uhm...Junior Brother Su never told me about that. Uncle, I suggest you not mention this anymore."

Su Long nodded and went into silence. It was fine. He would test this fellow again later. Meanwhile, Su Yu was sweating profusely. Good heavens. Did his father see through his disguise? Why did this feel so weird?

Why would his old man mention such an embarrassing incident in front of an outsider out of nowhere?

Chen Long was losing his mind. He hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "Big Brother, please stop saying all those random things. What is up with you today? I'm trying to ask about that nephew of mine. Please stop making trouble for me!"

What was his big brother doing? No matter what, this was a master weaponsmith. Could his big brother show more respect? Things would be difficult for him if they ended up offending this weaponsmith.

His big brother wasn't this unreliable normally. Did he go crazy from missing his son too much? Was that why he lost control after seeing an acquaintance of his son?

He stopped wondering and hurriedly made an excuse for his big brother, "My big brother is a straightforward person. Please don't mind him, Master Cui. Since you know Su Yu, can I ask you about my nephew? How is he doing currently? I heard he was injured and has been in seclusion since then."

Su Yu said, "He's doing well. He has recovered considerably. The last time I saw him, he had nearly fully healed himself. Both the prefect and my teacher, Principal Niu, will take good care of him in Great Ming. He is very important to both of them. He also befriended some experts and got himself appointed as the honorary elder. He has also been earning millions of merit points easily. With both wealth and fame, he's living very well there."

Su Long suddenly interrupted, "Since he's living so well, why didn't he send some good stuff over to his old man?"

Chen Long: "..."

Su Yu: "..."

Su Long continued with a grudging tone, "He has so many cultivation methods. Why hadn't he sent his old man any of them? Is this how a filial son should act?"

"..."

Since Su Long was scolding his own son, Chen Long didn't know what to say. As for Su Yu, he was also completely speechless.

Su Long said, "When he planned his escape after encountering an enemy he couldn't beat, why hadn't he thought of seeking help from the Devil Subduing Army? Why did he run off so rashly? What would happen to him if that Great Ming Perfect refused to help him?"

"..."

Su Yu was feeling very helpless. The Devil Subduing Army wasn't too strong. That was especially true for those staying behind in the Human Realm. He heard that they only had a single Mountainsea in the entire Human Realm. What the hell could they do?

Did his old man think that Mountainseas were very impressive? Was his old man not aware that there were Sunmoons among those trying to kill him?

Su Yu coughed awkwardly and said, "You're right, Uncle. Brother Su might have neglected all that."

Su Long nodded. With the same grudging tone, he looked at Su Yu and said, "Before he ran, why hadn't he notified his father? Ask him for me. Has he forgotten that he has a father? Is that unfilial son waiting for his father to die on the battlefield?"

"I don't think so."

"Oh?"

Su Long gnashed his teeth and glared at Su Yu.

"Why hadn't he sent even one letter to his father, then?"

"Cough, cough. About that, he must not have thought of doing so. Or maybe he's worried that the letter will get intercepted."

"Why hasn't he told me about the two daughters-in-law he found me?"

"..."

Holy shit! Nonsense! Su Yu was stunned. When did he get himself two wives?

"He's also planning to marry into the Zhu Family. Is that little rascal trying to infuriate me to death?"

"..."

That was utter bullshit! Zhu Qingyan was the only woman of suitable age in the Zhu Family. And he had zero interest in that woman!

Su Yu didn't feel like talking anymore. He was now certain that his father had seen through his disguise. He felt completely disheartened. He even felt despair.

How was it possible that someone other than Invincible could see through his amazing disguise? Just not long ago, a high-stage Sunmoon had also seen through his disguise. Was his disguise so bad?

Or was his father an Invincible? How was it possible otherwise? Also, his father had nearly exposed him. Was this Chen Long even trustworthy?

In truth, Su Yu did not trust Chen Long. He didn't know what his father was thinking. But since his father was so confident in Chen Long, perhaps this person was indeed trustworthy.

At this point, Chen Long finally realized that something wasn't right as well. He looked at his big brother suspiciously before looking at Cui Lang. After a long while, he decided to stay silent. These two seemed to be getting along well? In that case, they should keep at it.

Just what was going on? Could it be that Cui Lang was Su Yu's best friend? But how did his big brother reach that conclusion from this exchange?
