Chapter 501: Subdue (2)

Hu Qiusheng and the others looked at Su Yu. Had this girl been lied to by Su Yu so much that she had gone crazy?

Su Yu coughed awkwardly and said, "Wu Lan, we are not only doing this for a day or two. This will be a long term project. Thus, rest is also important. Only then will you have enough energy to continue working. I know that you wish to contribute more, but you need to strike a balance between work and rest to do more."

"You guys can go. I'll stay here a bit longer..."

Wu Lan decided to ignore Su Yu, someone who clearly lacked the spirit of perseverance. It was perfectly normal for researchers to work overnight! What did this fellow know?

"..." The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))

Su Yu didn't know what to say. He was even starting to worry. If this lass ended up working herself to death, would her grandaunt blame him?

Even if her grandaunt spared him, would her elder sister spare him? Even if those two spared him...he had heard about another expert in the Wu Family. Wu Yuehua's mother was a Sunmoon. A Sunmoon! Would she kill him? He was getting more and more worried.

By the way, what would be her form of address for the mother of her grandaunt? Suddenly, a random thought appeared in Su Yu's mind. Wu Yuehua was the younger sister of Wu Lan's grandfather. Thus, Wu Yuehua's father was Wu Lan's great grandfather, right? Ohhh, in that case, the Sunmoon was Wu Lan's great grandmother!

Suddenly, Su Yu asked, "Wu Lan, does your great grandmother love you?"

"Huh?"

Wu Lan blanked out slightly. She looked at Su Yu and snorted, "Of course! Before she entered seclusion, she doted on me the most! She doted on me more than my elder sister!"

"..."

In that case, she better not work herself to death here. If nobody loved her, it would probably be fine. But since she had a Sunmoon who doted on her, he was afraid of trouble in case she died.

Su Yu continued persuading Wu Lan to take a rest. He couldn't help but lament that it sure was nice to have a strong background.

Hu Qiusheng had a Sunmoon grandfather.

Wu Lan had a Sunmoon great grandmother.

Ji Xiaomeng had a Sunmoon father.

Wan Mingze had a Sunmoon grandfather.

Xia Huyou had a peak Sunmoon father, a Sunmoon second granduncle, and an Invincible great grandfather.

Zhao Shiji had a Sunmoon grandfather.

There really were quite a lot of experts in Great Xia.

...

After making his arrangements, Su Yu returned to the Wentan Research Center. He needed to leave early the next day, so he had to make some preparations. He was only going to the suburbs and things would probably be safe, but there was no guarantee that nothing bad would happen.

Prison zone.

Once again, Su Yu arrived. He ignored all the prisoners and looked at the shadow before saying, "Both you and the water guy are good at concealment. I am going to take a trip outside the academy and require a bodyguard. Which of you is interested in this task?"

The water elemental was a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. The shadow was a third-stage Cloudbreach.

The white civet hurriedly said, "Lord Su, I might only be a Skysoar, but I am very good at concealment and disguise. I am also very fast."

The fire crow also hurriedly said, "Lord, I am small. Even without concealment, most people will overlook me. I won't be able to do much against warriors, but if it's a cultural researcher, I'll be able to harm that person with my lifebound fire even if it's a Mountainsea."

He looked at the beasts and indifferently asked, "Shadow and water guy. Which of you is interested?"

The shadow sighed.

"Lord Su, I am willing to become your dao protector."

He had not expected that Su Yu would be able to form a relationship with the prince of the Xia Family so fast. From the tone of the conversation, the two even seemed rather close. As for the possibility of this being an act...there was no need for that. It was only a matter of time before they could verify if the other person was really Xia Longwu's son.

Within the first cage, the water elemental revealed himself and softly said, "I am willing to serve you, Lord."

At this point, this was their only option. Either they die or they submit.

Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "I'm still worried. Your lives are not worth anything, but my life is very valuable. What if you decide to sacrifice yourself and take me out? Sure, you would be dead as well, but that would be too much of a loss for me."

With a smile, Su Yu said, "Hand over your main Divine Characters and put them under my control for now. You might be weaker without them, but that is a form of guarantee for me."

The water elemental said, "If this is what you want, I have no issue. But the beast taming faction probably has a method to restrict us. There is no need for you to weaken us with such a method, Lord."

Su Yu smiled, "I don't want anyone to know about you for now. I'll ask around and see if I can find an alternative later. But for now, hand over your characters."

Both the water elemental and shadow sighed. As prisoners, they had no other options.

If their main Divine Characters were destroyed, their sea of willpower would receive a backlash and their strength would drop greatly. This was the weakness of all cultural researchers.

At this time, the mountaindrill bull said, "They have third-tier characters. Lord...will you be able to suppress those characters? Why don't you give those characters to me for safekeeping. You can take me on the trip as well. I promise I won't turn on you."

When the fire crow heard that, he anxiously said, "Lord, I can watch over the characters for you. With my lifebound fire, they won't dare to rebel unless they are feeling suicidal."

The water elemental and shadow were infuriated. It was clear that at this point, unity was no longer possible among them. Since even the two strongest among them had surrendered, the rest of them needed to start thinking for themselves as well.

It was time to submit.

It was either that or death.

Bai Feng was gone. The research center no longer required them. And they were too weak for Hong Tan. They were out of options. If they waited until Su Yu outgrew his need for them, would there be a next person for them to rely on?

Perhaps Su Yu would be the last new student they could see before meeting their end. Su Yu would be their final caretaker. They were all very clear about this.

Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "Fire crow, you're right. How about this? Hand me your main Divine Character. I'll let you suppress their characters but you will remain in your cage. The moment I do something to your character, you will know that they have turned on me. At that time, just destroy their characters."

"..."

The beasts were stunned.

The fire crow was filled with grief.

He wanted to leave!

He didn't want to stay here!

He was so obedient and honest! Why wasn't he given a chance to leave? This was driving him crazy.

Despite the grief in his heart, the fire crow said, "Your wisdom knows no bounds, Lord. The moment you touch my character, I will burn both their characters."

The shadow said, "Lord, what if you accidentally touch his character? Would the two of us die for no reason?"

This felt too dangerous.
