Chapter 273: Exploiter Su

The Thunder God Sect’s Ancestor, Ouyang Hua, walked into Su Wen’s room.

At this moment, Yan Luoying had already retreated outside.

There were only the two of them in the room.

The two of them sat down and Su Wen served tea. He smiled and said, “Senior Ouyang, may I know why you’re here to look for me?”

The tea on the table was steaming and fragrant, the fog slowly rising up.

Ouyang Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip before going straight to the point. “I heard that Lord Su’s daughter was captured by the demons. This old man came to Lord Su mainly to clarify things!”

Su Wen called him senior, and he addressed Su Wen as Lord to show respect.

A smile appeared on Su Wen’s face as he waved his hand. “Senior Ouyang! Is there a need to clarify things between us? Can I not trust you? If I didn’t believe you, I would have gone to ask you a long time ago. To be honest, I’ve heard quite a bit of those rumors over the past few days! In my opinion, all of them must be fake. They must have been spread by other sects to sow discord between us!”

Su Wen continued seriously, “No matter what, I represent the Great Chu Royal Court. Senior, you are also a sect within Great Chu. If I don’t believe the Thunder God Sect, who else can I trust? No one wants to see this happen to Su Su, but I believe that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Senior.”

Su Wen’s words hit the nail on the head!

He was doing this on purpose.

He was trying to assure Ouyang Hua that it was not that he did not believe him.

But then again, when such words went into Ouyang Hua’s ears, could he still flare up?

You want to explain? I don’t need you to explain at all. I believe you!

Who wouldn’t want to hear such words?

While being criticized by tens of thousands of people, the person involved expressed his trust without even asking.

At this moment, Ouyang Hua was already suspicious of his original deduction.

Was Su Wen really behind this?

Could it really be another country sowing discord instead?

Or perhaps it was the Flame God Sect that had spread the news behind Su Wen’s back?

No matter who one was, when one was uncertain about something, it was inevitable that they would be affected by external factors.

Su Wen’s trust in him immediately changed Ouyang Hua’s impression of him.

“Lord Su, you’re too polite. I dare to pat my chest and say that this matter really has nothing to do with my Thunder God Sect!” Ouyang Hua still explained.

Su Wen laughed loudly. “Senior! What are you talking about? Didn’t I just say that? I believe that the members of the Thunder God Sect will definitely not do such a thing.”

He stared into Ouyang Hua’s eyes and said, “Senior, you don’t have to explain anything to me. We’re all comrades, and we’re fighting to protect the world! How can I not trust you?”

However, the more he spoke of trust, the more Ouyang Hua had no way to further clear his misgivings.

He originally thought that Su Wen would interrogate him in all sorts of ways, but when he really met Su Wen, he realized that this was not the case.

No one could find any fault with Su Wen’s attitude.

“Lord Su… Then I wonder if you can help our Thunder God Sect and stop those people from blindly spreading rumors?” Ouyang Hua raised his request.

Su Wen sighed and said, “Senior Ouyang, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help you at night. It’s just that this matter isn’t that easy. You also know that my Su Su was abducted by the demons. Many soldiers saw it with their own eyes. No matter how they spread it or think about it, I can’t control it. Tell me, if I pull you in front of everyone now and say that it’s definitely not your Thunder God Sect colluding with the demons, won’t it smell of trickery or blackmail?”

“Even if I tell them, will they believe me? Especially if I believe you, Senior, but I don’t have any evidence to prove that the Thunder God Sect and the Demon Race are not connected. If that happens, it will only arouse suspicion!”

Hearing this, Ouyang Hua agreed that such a thing was highly probable!

But they could not let the rumors continue to spread either!

Ouyang Hua asked, “Then what should we do? Is there no other way?”

Su Wen smiled. “It’s not that there’s no other way! However, this is just a suggestion from me.”

“Tell me about it?”

“In my opinion, Senior might be able to organize all the Heaven Rank experts of the Thunder God Sect and make a solemn vow in front of everyone to say that all of you had nothing to do with this matter. At that time, everyone will believe it, and there will naturally be no more doubts in their hearts. This rumor will then collapse on its own!”

Su Wen spoke with a smile.

Many times, the same words produced completely different effects when spoken in different contexts.

If Su Wen brought everyone from the Flamen God Sect to look for Ouyang Hua directly, he would definitely think that Su Wen was provoking him. Similarly, making an oath under Su Wen’s request would make them appear too cowardly.

However, Su Wen now was suggesting an idea for them to prove their innocence.

He had successfully turned the conflict between the two sides into a way for the Thunder God Sect to tide over their own crisis.

Although the outcome was the same, the process and the thoughts undergone by those in the Thunder God Sect were completely different.

Ouyang Hua sat there in silence.

He realized that Su Wen seemed to have done this on purpose.

Su Wen picked up the teacup and gently tasted the tea.

He was completely calm and not in a hurry.

Ouyang Hua would not be able to withstand it one day.

Even if he did not agree today, as long as the rumors continued, the pressure on him would increase.

A sharp glint flashed across Su Wen’s eyes when he thought of this.

Furthermore, if the Thunder God Sect was really willing to endure the torrential rumors, it could also prove that there was a problem with the Thunder God Sect!

“Alright! Then we’ll do as you say!” Ouyang Hua agreed.

Although he knew that this might be what Su Wen wanted to see, he could not escape from Su Wen’s methods in the end.

He agreed readily. However, Su Wen frowned upon hearing this.

The process was too smooth! From the looks of it, didn’t this mean that this matter really had nothing to do with the Thunder God Sect?

However, he did not have time to think about it. Ouyang Hua looked at Su Wen and asked indifferently, “I think if all the Heaven Ranks in the Thunder God Sect swear that this has nothing to do with this, the rumors will definitely die down, right?”

“Of course!” Su Wen gave an affirmative answer.

This was a transaction that the two of them had quietly completed.

Ouyang Hua stood up and left.

Su Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Not the Thunder God Sect?

Then who was it?

For a moment, he could not figure out what was going on.

Following that, the Thunder God Sect really did as they said and swore an oath.

This completely dispelled Su Wen’s doubts.

In the following period of time, Su Wen was even more surprised that he did not receive any contact from anyone!

He was not threatened or requested for any benefits!

The transaction was still going on as usual, as if everything was calm!

One month, two months, three months…

Time dragged on…

But during this period, something big happened in the Demon Realm!

The Longevity Grass that was used to feed the Giant Strength Rat… withered and died overnight!

This was a major crisis.

Those Giant Strength Rats had nothing to eat! In that short period of time, where would the Demons look for an alternative source as well?

Demon Emperor Chu Xun knew about this matter and immediately took action personally, bringing Mo Youhan straight to the front line of the human race.

“Su Wen! Get out here!”

A thousand miles away from Coldsteel City, the Demon Emperor roared.

Not long after, Su Wen and Gongsun Shi flew out together!

Both sides stood in midair!

Upon seeing Su Wen’s arrival, Mo Youhan raged, “Su Wen, the Longevity Grass you gave us all withered and died overnight! What happened?”

She was originally in charge of the negotiations for this matter. How could she not know that such a huge matter had happened all of a sudden? This had let Chu Xun extremely displeased.

Moreover, once the Longevity Grass was cut off, it would not only affect the Demon Race, even the Demonic Tribe that cultivated the Giant Strength Rat would be affected.

Many rats without food even started to kill and devour each other, causing them to suffer great losses.

Su Wen smiled and said, “I remember now. That Longevity Grass is a special breed. Although this thing can reproduce and grow rapidly, it’s still fundamentally related to the mother. As long as the mother dies, all the Longevity Grass produced by the mother will also die. The mother only has a lifespan of one year!”

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?” Mo Youhan questioned.

Su Wen scratched his head and smiled. “Sorry, I forgot!”

Forget? Both the Demon Emperor and Mo Youhan knew that this excuse was too lame. It was obvious that he was doing this on purpose.

He was deliberately setting them up!

At this moment, Chu Xun said coldly, “You should still have the Longevity Grass seeds there? Tell me, how can you give them to me!”

Su Wen could not help but secretly give him a thumbs up. This was the one true way for things to be done!

He smiled and said, “It’s not easy to nurture this Longevity Grass. No matter what our relationship is, if His Majesty wants it, I will definitely give you face. I heard that His Majesty the Demon Emperor took 20% of the management fees. Then give us 10% of the profits from the transaction!”

When the Demon Emperor heard this, he was instantly enraged!

What a shameless brat!

Wasn’t this stealing food from his mouth?!

He glared at Su Wen.

Su Wen was not afraid of him and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, I don’t think you know, but 10% is already considered cheap. In order to nurture this Longevity Grass, we have spent an unknown amount of money. You can’t let us lose everything, right?”

How was it? Should he give it to them or not?

This was a big problem!

But this Su Wen had a really black heart! The moment he opened his mouth, he wanted a tenth of his profits?!

Hmm… the Demon Emperor still misunderstood Su Wen…

How could Su Wen ONLY want a tenth of his profits?

The Demon Emperor gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll give you 10% of my commission!”

Although 10% of the profits made the Demon Emperor’s heart ache, it was still acceptable!

Su Wen laughed loudly. “Your Majesty! Did you misunderstand? I don’t want 10% of your commission! I want 10% of the total, which is half of your 20%!”

Mo Youhan shouted, “You’re insatiable!”

Even Gongsun Shi clicked his tongue in his heart!

This fellow was really evil!

No, or maybe… he had no heart to begin with!

From the looks of it, to ask for so much… Was he not afraid of them planning something against him?

Gongsun Shi began to ponder.

Could he also have been tricked by him?

Would he be forced to spit it out one day?

But then again, Su Wen was so good at scamming the demons! Right now, he couldn’t be happier.

Chu Xun’s heart was bleeding!

Had this b*stard gone crazy?

He wanted half of the benefits the moment he opened his mouth? Did he really think this Demon Emperor here was a fat sheep to be shorn?

Chu Xun’s gaze gradually turned sharp. He almost wanted to attack.

But in the blink of an eye, he had his scruples once again!

Gongsun Shi was not the only human saint now!

And… he had to admit that he had been quite satisfied with this period of time.

Without any risk, he could safely obtain the blessing of heaven and earth.

Even to him, if he counted the accumulations for a long time, it was still an extremely considerable number!

Su Wen said with a smile, “Your Majesty can explain this matter to the Demon Race. After all, this thing was researched by us humans and we have already given it to you for a year. We can’t keep sending it over for nothing, right? This is called collecting patent fees. After all, the entire Demon Race has benefited from it.

Actually, in this way, Your Majesty can still charge an additional fee. However, how Your Majesty will collect that fee, we will not interfere. After all, if things are not transparent, it will be hard for people to tell apart truth from lies.”

Su Wen’s words made Chu Xun’s eyes light up!

Obviously, Su Wen’s intention was to let him recoup the profits he lost through the other races in the Demon Race.

Chu Xun had actually considered this idea just now, but the excuse was not as refreshing as the patent fee Su Wen mentioned…

Moreover, he knew very well that it was clearly unrealistic to transfer such a huge loss to the other demons.

That would definitely incite the dissatisfaction of the entire Demon Race.

Although he was currently in control of the channels and had the absolute initiative, one had to know that the Demon Race still had other races eyeing his possessions covetously.

Especially the Evil Fiend Tribe, they had already proposed to split the transaction management fees several times.

He had rejected them all.

If such a big thing happened again, things might change.

However, if he had to bear such a large sum of money alone, he would feel that it was too much of a loss.

If he used Su Wen as an excuse to transfer a portion of his losses to the other demons, it would be reasonable!

After all, it was obvious that Su Wen was the culprit this time!

However, Chu Xun still wanted to struggle. “I can only give you half of what you are asking for!”

“I want at least 10% of the whole transaction!” Su Wen shook his head and said, “If it’s less than that, there’s no need for us to negotiate. Let’s just continue with the normal transaction.”

He was unyielding! After all, the technology was in his hands.

Su Wen’s attitude left the Demon Emperor helpless!

He stared at Su Wen with a look that could kill.

How many years had it been since someone he hated appeared?

Even Gongsun Shi was only an enemy in Chu Xun’s eyes, but Su Wen was an existence even more despicable than an enemy!

By the side, Mo Youhan was even more regretful!

She finally understood why Su Wen would provide cultivation and feed for free!

It was to allow the demon race breeders to expand without order!

In the end, there was suddenly no feed left. What should they do? Who could watch helplessly as the situation that they had worked so hard to develop was destroyed?

How was this free?

Moreover, for the demons who were used to living a relaxed life, imagine telling them that they had to find substitutes to feed the rats?

Where could they find it?

If they did not continue to breed the rats, and they also could not defeat the humans at this moment, How else could they obtain the blessing of the heavens and earth?

During this period of time, not to mention others, even she, Mo Youhan, had greatly benefitted from it. She even felt that there was hope for her to reach the Saint Rank!

Finally, Chu Xun opened his mouth and said coldly, “Good kid! I’ll remember you. You’re good! I promise you 10% of the profits!”

Chu Xun gritted his teeth and said, “You and Mo Youhan will be responsible for the grass seeds. Replenish them as soon as possible!”

“Alright!” Su Wen agreed immediately.

He directly took out a spirit artifact and threw it over, saying with a smile, “The Longevity Grass Seeds are inside, enough for you to use in the next year. For the following transactions, we have to calculate the amount in advance. Hand over the Giant Strength Rat to us first, and then we will do the transactions. Is there any problem?”

“No problem!”

Chu Xun caught the spirit artifact and only agreed after checking that it was indeed filled with Longevity Grass seeds.

He glanced at Su Wen. As expected, this fellow had been calculating for an unknown period of time and had even thought of a transaction method!

“Hmph, kid, take care of yourself! From now on, you better provide us with Longevity Grass seeds on time!”

Chu Xun shouted coldly and turned around to leave.

Mo Youhan took a deep look at Su Wen and gritted her teeth. “To think that I thought you were sincere in making a deal with us. You actually set up such a scheme instead. You disappoint me!”

Su Wen rolled his eyes and retorted, “Firstly, I’m not your father, secondly, I’m not your husband, and thirdly, I’m not your son. What does your disappointment have to do with me? Aiyaya, from my point of view, I can’t see you naked. You’re too disappointing. Why don’t you take off some clothes to satisfy me?”

“Shameless! Exploiter Su, I’ll remember you!”

Mo Youhan cursed before turning around to leave!

As he watched the two of them fly away, Su Wen’s expression sank suddenly!

Even at this point, the other party still did not raise any conditions for any sort of transaction!

In other words, Su Su might not be in their hands!

Then where was Su Su?

At this moment, Su Wen already had a vague guess.

It was very likely that Su Su’s capture back to the Demon Race was an accident!

Just as he was thinking…

Gongsun Shi arrived at his side, his eyes full of smiles as he said, “Brat, your methods are quite good. You’ve long wanted to bury them, huh?”

Upon hearing Gongsun Shi’s words, Su Wen temporarily put Su Su’s matter to the back of his mind.

He smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. By the way, Senior Gongsun, I’ll give you less for the patent fees this time. You don’t have any objections to taking 30%, right?”

Gongsun Shi waved his hand and said, “Forget it, you should keep the profits for yourself. After all, this can also be considered a way to weaken the Demon Race. You have done a great service, but I didn’t do anything. I feel guilty receiving this!”

Su Wen smiled and said, “Senior, what are you talking about? If you didn’t come along, that Demon Emperor might have already made a move. You’re a saint of the human race, so you should share the benefits. Furthermore, Chu Xun looks like a selfish person. He must be thinking about how to reap the benefits himself. If you don’t chase behind tightly, you won’t be his match the next time you fight. When the time comes, you’ll be killed with a punch. What will happen to the human race?”

Gongsun Shi: “….”

Every time he mentioned that he couldn’t defeat Chu Xun, Gongsun Shi had nothing to refute!

“Senior, there’s something else I have to tell you!”

Su Wen looked at Gongsun Shi and said seriously, “I want to go into the Demon Realm!”

“What?”

Gongsun Shi was shocked to hear this!

“Are you crazy? If you go to the Demon Race, you will be killed if you are discovered!”

Su Wen shook his head and said in a deep voice, “You should know that my daughter, Su Su, was captured and sent to the Demon Race. It’s been so long. Logically speaking, if they were targeting me, there should have been news about it long ago. However, there’s still no news about it. No matter what, I have to go and take a look.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be discovered if I go to the Demon Race!”

Hearing Su Wen’s words… Gongsun Shi fell silent.

“But didn’t you say there would be a follow-up to raising the price of the deals? If you leave… who will you leave this to?”

Su Wen smiled and said, “Are you pretending to be ignorant. My father is much more ruthless than me. Just leave it to him.”

In reality, Gongsun Shi really did not want Su Wen to leave. In his opinion, this was too risky.

As for Su Su… she was just a bloodline!

Just giving birth to one more would do.

From Gongsun Shi’s point of view, it was inevitable that he would have such thoughts..
