C491 The Reason Behind It
"You!"
Beigong Wuji's face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with fury. "Su Jin, you are being presumptuous! Don't think that you can act recklessly just because you have made it onto the Wind Cloud List!"
"I'm sorry, but the fact that I can make it onto the Wind Cloud List means that I can do whatever I want!"
Su Jin interrupted Beigong Wuji with a sneer, "You're not convinced? If you don't accept it, come and challenge me. If you can defeat me... Without saying another word, I immediately gave up the position of Head Student. Otherwise... With your baseless slander, you want me to give up Head Student's position. Even if I agree, I believe that the three Sovereign Lords... I won't agree either!"
When the surrounding students heard this, they were stunned. Su Jin had already said such a thing, but the three Sovereigns didn't respond. Could it be that they all agreed that Su Jin's identity had nothing to do with the the Ten Aristocratic families?
Beigong Wuji's expression changed between black and white. It was extremely ugly, and there was even a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
If it was anyone else who dared to offend him, he would have killed them long ago. However, he couldn't see through Su Jin's strength. According to the rumors in the outside world... The news of him defeating Swordman Fenglei with a single strike had made Beigong Wuji even more afraid. He had also heard of Swordman Fenglei, an expert in the Sword Dao. He knew that he didn't have the strength to defeat Swordman Fenglei with a single strike, but Su Jin's words were so arrogant. If he gave in today, once the news got out, he wouldn't be able to continue living in this world anymore.
However, the attitude of the three Emperors made him somewhat uneasy. He suppressed his anger, bowed and asked, "Three Emperors, pardon my rudeness. May I ask if the Senior Assembly really have no doubts about Su Jin's identity?"
"Beigong Wuji."
Wind Monarch said in a flat tone, "This time, the Vast Qi Academy was able to resolve the crisis in Immortal Burying Sea. Su Jin has contributed a lot. If he stood on the side of the the Ten Aristocratic families, how could he possibly help the Vast Qi Academy? Besides, the Senior Assembly had already investigated his identity. He and the Su family had indeed broken off all relations a long time ago. There's no need to doubt this matter."
When Wind Monarch said this, Head Student and the others immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They no longer doubted Su Jin's identity.
Beigong Wuji's facial expression turned ugly. He had never thought that the tribulation of Immortal Burying Sea would come. Su Jin had contributed a lot to the ___. He suddenly realized that... Su Jin was summoned alone and was listed as the number one Head Student. He was afraid that his contribution was greater than he had imagined.
A trace of gloominess flashed across Beigong Wuji's eyes, but he understood that there was no use in making an article about Su Jin now. He said, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say."
Flame Emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright. Then the matter of Head Student will be decided. This time, the Senior Assembly will send someone to guard the Tri-academy Tournament, but how will the competition be? You all can discuss it yourselves. This is also the training given to you by the academy. With your current strength, you will be able to become the overlord of a region. It's time to learn how to be independent."
"I will follow your instructions!"
All the students bowed and left the Senior Assembly.
Beigong Wuji snorted and left quickly, as if he didn't want to stay in front of Su Jin.
"Brother Su."
At this moment, Chiang Senluo's voice was heard.
Su Jin stopped in his tracks. When he saw Chiang Senluo walking towards him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Jiang, what can I do for you?"
When Chiang Senluo saw Su Jin, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He remembered the first time he saw Su Jin. Su Jin's strength was not worth mentioning in front of him, but how long had it been? Now, Su Jin was able to stand on equal footing with him. He was even stronger than him.
What a monstrous genius! Chiang Senluo sighed again, but he smiled faintly and said, "Brother Su, do you know why Beigong Wuji is targeting you?"
"Oh?"
Su Jin revealed a puzzled expression. He also felt that it was strange. "Brother Jiang, could it be that you know about it?"
"Brother Su, you have been to the Immortal Burying Sea recently. I'm afraid that you have yet to understand the current situation of your Invincible Alliance."
Chiang Senluo didn't answer him directly, but suddenly said.
Su Jin nodded. "I was summoned by the Senior Assembly as soon as I came back, but I haven't had the time yet."
Chiang Senluo sighed. "No wonder. Brother Su, I'm afraid you don't know. These days, your Invincible Alliance has changed the structure of the Vast Qi City's magic weapons!"
"The middle-grade magic weapons produced by the Invincible Alliance are so cheap that the merchants who sell the magic weapons will not be able to survive!"
Su Jin suddenly remembered that before he left, the Zhou family deliberately targeted the Invincible Alliance. That was why Su Jin was so angry that he used the River God Diagram to provide convenience to the members of the Invincible Alliance.
He had long expected that this would cause the merchants of the Zhou family who sold the magical equipment to suffer heavy losses. However, that was what they deserved. Who asked them to target the Invincible Alliance first?
"I see. But what does this have to do with Beigong Wuji?" Su Jin couldn't help but ask.
Chiang Senluo looked at Su Jin and smiled. "Brother Su doesn't know. The members of Beigong Wuji's Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion are all warriors who practice the Sword Dao. The number of magic tools these people need every year is a huge amount. In the past years, Beigong Wuji represented all the students and went to a shop to buy magic weapons. When the number of magic tools they buy is huge, those shop owners will definitely give a lot of preferential treatment. "
Su Jin nodded. Of course he understood this.
"Before Brother Su's Invincible Alliance appeared, the Zhou family was the biggest business partner of the Myriad Sword Pavilion. The magical weapons that the Zhou family sold to the Myriad Sword Pavilion were much cheaper than those sold to other families. Besides the cheap price, Beigong Wuji could also gain a lot of benefits from it. "
After listening to Chiang Senluo's explanation, Su Jin finally understood what was going on. It seemed like his Invincible Alliance had blocked Beigong Wuji's path of wealth.
The Invincible Alliance sold middle-grade magic weapons at a cheap price, even if the magic weapons bought by the Myriad Sword Pavilion were cheaper than the ones sold by other families. Therefore, as long as the students weren't stupid, they wouldn't be able to sell their magic tools at a lower price than the Invincible Alliance. They would all secretly come to Invincible Alliance to purchase mid-grade magic tools.
Although the students had received preferential treatment, Beigong Wuji, the "middleman," would not be able to obtain any of the benefits.
It was no wonder he would target him.
"I understand. Thank you for telling me."
Su Jin smiled faintly, but he didn't mind. To Su Jin, Beigong Wuji was just a clown.
Bang!
"Su Jin, you beast! How dare you be so impudent to me!"
After returning to the mansion, Beigong Wuji's face turned incomparably pale, and he started crazily smashing everything in the room.
"What's wrong with the Pavilion Master of the Northern Palace?"
Right at this moment, an indifferent voice was heard. Then, a graceful young man walked into the room. He was holding a paper fan in his hand and was waving it gently.
"Zhou Qi!"
Beigong Wuji's facial expression changed when he saw the newcomer. "Why did you come at such a sensitive time?"
Zhou Qi was the young master of Zhou family. He was regarded as one of the geniuses of Zhou family. But now, he had openly appeared in Beigong Wuji's mansion. Apparently, the rumors about Beigong Wuji's close relationship with Zhou family were true.
"What's there to be afraid of? My Hidden Heavenly Skill has already been cultivated. Even a peak Martial King wouldn't be able to discover my existence if I didn't investigate with all my strength."
Zhou Qi smiled proudly and confidently, "Brother Bei Gong, I guess the reason why you are so angry is related to that Su Jin!"
When Beigong Wuji heard this name, his facial expression immediately turned ugly. He glared at Zhou Qi. "I will listen to your plan and expose that kid's identity. In the end, it didn't affect that kid at all, and I was even humiliated in front of everyone. Is this your brilliant plan? "
He told Zhou Qi about what had happened in the Senior Assembly, but the more he spoke, the angrier he became.
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "So you are angry because of such a small matter. Brother Bei Gong, I never thought that such a clumsy plan would succeed. However, it's not like we didn't gain anything from it, right?"
"Retrieve?" Beigong Wuji sneered and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Zhou Qi smiled. "Brother Beigong, have you never considered the Su family's opinion of Su Jin?"
Beigong Wuji raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "It's very simple. If it was in the past, Su family naturally wouldn't care about Su Jin, who was expelled from the family. But now, Su Jin is already a genius ranked seventh on the Wind Cloud List. If you are one of the higher ups of the Su family... What would you think?"
Beigong Wuji frowned. He knew what Zhou Qi wanted to say.
"Even a major power like the the Ten Aristocratic families would attach great importance to such a genius. If I was one of the higher ups of the Su family, I would be the first one to speak. Send someone to bring Su Jin back into the family!" Zhou Qi's eyes sparkled as he said.
"Su Jin may not agree!"0
Beigong Wuji raised his eyebrows. When he recalled Su Jin's background and Su Jin's attitude in the Senior Assembly, he had no sense of belonging to the Su family.
Perhaps, he even felt hostile towards the Su family.
"Brother Bei Gong, you still don't understand what I mean. Regardless of whether Su Jin agrees or not, it's not a good thing for him."
Zhou Qi smiled coldly, "If he refuses the Su family, given the strength of the Su family, they will never allow a peerless genius who is hostile to their family to grow. If he agrees to the Su family... This was the same as slapping the face of the Senior Assembly, which had just been promoted."
"So that's how it is!"
Beigong Wuji's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but admire Zhou Qi. This fellow's schemes and tricks were really one after another. Compared to those powerful geniuses, he was much more terrifying.
"As long as Su Jin is stuck in a dilemma, no matter which side of the Zhou family we help, we will be able to easily kill him without a burial ground."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Zhou Qi's eyes. Initially, he thought that Su Jin was just a minor character. He thought that he could destroy Su Jin with a little trick. He didn't expect that not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also caused such a terrifying counterattack.
In just a short period of time, Su Jin's Invincible Alliance had almost destroyed the Zhou family's business in Vast Qi City. If he allowed this to continue, the Invincible Alliance's business would expand. He was afraid that it wouldn't take long for the foundation of Zhou family to be completely destroyed.
Such terrifying potential made the entire Zhou family feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles. They wanted nothing more than to kill Su Jin and destroy the Invincible Alliance.
However, given Su Jin's current identity and strength, the Zhou family didn't dare to deal with him openly. They could only do so in secret.
