Chapter 537 - Su Lan's Story



The assistant manager, a middle-aged man who acted much more sensibly than his superior served Adam and Su Lan and he said that the manager was currently not feeling well and apologised for her unusual behaviour. 

But they all knew the truth, and Adam was sure that she wouldn\'t dare to face them again and was probably too rattled to even think straight. 

They were led to a nice comfortable lounge that could fit a small group, but wasn\'t too big like the private hall that they ate in, as they both sat down opposite each other on the black leather sofas that were there.

Between them was a coffee table that had some small snacks along with some soft drinks, since they said to the assistant manager that they didn\'t want any alcohol.

"Now then, do you want to chat now?" Su Lan asked.

"Yeah, sure. But first, let me deal with a few things," he said as he suddenly waved his arms and small blades of energy burst out of his hand.

Su Lan was confused as she looked around, thinking that maybe Adam\'s energy blades had destroyed the entire room or even the hotel, but she was shocked by how precisely they had been controlled.

And she was even more shocked to see what his attacks had landed on.

The manager and assistant manager who were sitting in the security room couldn\'t help but be angry that the hidden cameras and bugs that they had set up had been found.

They were so meticulously hidden that even Master Cultivators weren\'t able to find them and they were even protected and camouflaged by arrays, and yet Adam could find them.

"Su Lan, you need to be more careful and alert at all times. Although it may not look it, I never let my guard down," he advised her.

"So, I am assuming this chain of the grand Su Hotel is close to home and that it is owned by your family," he said.

"Why would your own family be trying to listen in to our chat and watch us? And who is that manager?" he asked.

Although he already had a pretty good idea of the answers, he wanted to hear it from her.

Su Lan couldn\'t believe that there were actually hidden cameras, and more than that, she was disappointed in herself for not being able to sense them around her.

"Don\'t think about it too much. They were very well hidden, and they even used some high level arrays to conceal them even more. So speak," he reassured her.

"Okay. This was what I wanted to talk about, anyway. I wanted to tell you about my past then ask you the question I have been asking myself ever since I lost in the battle against you," she said as she took a deep breath and sat up.

"Go ahead."

"Alright. As you may or may not know, I am from an Ancestral Martial Lineage, which just means I am a descendant of one of the most powerful cultivation families. However, I was only born into a branch family."

"My mother was a weak servant who was supposedly very beautiful and drew the attention of many. She was kind and humble from what my father described. She was very weak and could barely do basic physical activities, but her soft and charming nature allowed her to be treated well and eventually become the Branch Head\'s personal maid."

"I am sure you can guess how things went. They apparently fell in love and she became pregnant with an illegitimate child. Me. And during childbirth, due to her very frail body that was barely able to even make it through pregnancy. It saddened the Branch Head, but he quickly forgot about her and could have many partners if he wished and was already married."

"Life wasn\'t too bad as a toddler and he didn\'t throw me away just yet, but from a young age, I began to show signs of being weak just like my mother. I had always been enthralled and drawn to the sword from a young age, but I couldn\'t even play with other children my age because of how weak my body, so wielding a sword was out of the question."

"Because, apparently, I was showing signs of being \'beautiful\' I was forced by my family into a political marriage that would benefit my father. He had no other use for me and as I got older, shunned me more and more. I was an eyesore and merely reminded him of my mother, not being talented in the slightest in their eyes."

"Cousins and relatives in my age group mistreated me greatly and life was only getting harder with me being unable to do anything, but that all changed from when we began being taught cultivation. Most my age had already begun building their foundations, which you probably know I was unable to do, but once I started Internal Cultivation, I finally had a way to make up for my body\'s weakness. It also allowed me to finally lift up a sword."

"From then on, all I did was train, study or watch others wield their sword and learn from them. Since I was the Branch Head\'s daughter, I had access to a lot of the things I would need, and although was mistreated, was still provided the bare minimum."

"Then by the age of 16, I had shown to be on an entirely different level to all of my peers in terms of power and there was a family exchange event where we competed against other branches. There I shone and defeated all that were within my age group, even if they were older than myself. All with my exceptional swordsmanship."

"During that event, the seniors within the family and the great family head, who is revered throughout the country, was watching and I caught their eye. They took me with them and he accepted me as his disciple and also named me as his successor."

"And thus the story of my revenge begun"
