Chapter 24: The Yellow Spring Incantation!

  The next day, Su Qiyan got up at noon and didn't go to class. She stayed at home to take care of Su Dong and Su Ning. Anyway, after the big commotion last night, the students were also not in the mood to learn anything about music, chess, books or paintings.

  After washing his face, Su Dong made an excuse to come to the Bai family. Yue was a spiritual beast and hid in his arm, Su Dong didn't recognize the scroll, so he wanted to see if the two little foxes of the Bai family recognized it.

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing heard that Xue Mo had arrived, they were so scared that they didn't sleep all night, when they saw Su Dong, they quickly asked about the situation.

  Su Dongdao said: "It's still unclear, but when I came back last night, no one on the road found any trace of Xue Mo, so it must be a rumor."

  Bai Xiaoya patted her own small chest, trembling with fear and said: "As long as it's not the Snow Demon, as long as it's not the Snow Demon."

  Su Dong knew that Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing's clansmen were all killed by the Snow Demon, so they feared that blue-eyed devil the most. Su Dong didn't say much, just comforted these two little foxes.

  He pulled out that strange scroll and Su Dong said: "I don't recognize the words on this, can you take a look?"

  Su Dong handed over the scroll to Bai Xiaoyan, and as a result, Bai Xiaoyan took one look at it with her eyes wide open and cried out in surprise.

  "This is the ancient script of our spiritual beast clan, the most noble one that has long been abandoned. How did you get this?" Bai Xiaoya asked in surprise.

  "What kind of ancient writing is this? The most noble one?" Su Dong asked curiously.

  Bai Xiaoya seemed somewhat worried and said in a low voice: "Anyway, it's just a very rare kind of writing."

  Su Dong smiled slightly, and it was clear that Bai Xiaoya was a noble in their clan, otherwise Bai Qing would not have protected her with his life. Moreover, Bai Xiaoya's bloodline was quite fragile, completely different from Bai Qing's.

  Now she can recognize an ancient beast tribe's script, Su Dong is even more certain that this little girl's identity is probably not simple.

  Unfortunately, Su Dong wasn't interested in Bai Xiaoyu and was too lazy to ask her why she could understand this ancient and noble text. So he simply said: "Since you can read the text above, help me take a look at what this scroll is talking about?"

  The spiritual beasts have a hierarchy, and Bai Xiaoyu and Bai Qing received this kind of education from a young age. Su Dongping treated them equally, which made the two little foxes very uncomfortable.

  Bai Xiaoya nodded and prayed for a moment before slowly unrolling the scroll.

  After reading it, Bai Xiaoya looked very frightened and even trembled, saying in a low voice: "This scroll is called the 'Yellow Spring Secret', and judging from its content, it should be a martial skill."

  "What kind of martial skill?" Su Dong asked hastily, somewhat unexpectedly.

  Bai Xiaoya shook her head vigorously, somewhat flustered: "Xiaoya doesn't understand martial arts, but this writing..."

  "What's wrong with the words?"

  "These words are very ancient, extremely ancient, symbolizing nobility, and also..." Bai Xiaoya stammered.

  "You're one to talk, I won't eat you." Su Dong said with a bit of anger as he saw Bai Xiaoya being evasive.

  "And there is evil..."

  Su Dong blinked and asked in confusion: "Nobility and evil? How can these two completely different things be mixed together?"

  Bai Xiaoya explained: "In our Ling Shou clan, it's possible because we have two gods. One is the noble Fox God, symbolizing wisdom - Zi Ya, and the other is the evil Ape God, symbolizing strength - Tuō Dé. The two gods and their servants all use this script."

  Su Dong was taken aback, "So this scroll is very powerful?"

  Bai Xiaoya nodded and said: "It might be something of a god, but I don't know if it belongs to the noble gods or the evil gods."

  Su Dong never believed in gods and was skeptical of Bai Xiaoya's words.

  Nodding, Su Dong said: "Can I ask you to translate this Huangquan Secret into a language that I can understand?"

  Really?

  Bai Xiaoya heard Su Dongyu's words and was taken aback, hastily saying: "There's no need to be so polite, just arrange for Xiaoya to do whatever needs doing."

  Su Dong waved his hand and said: "That won't do, you are free, I can't force you after all."

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing were shocked speechless, Bai Xiaoya whispered: "I thought..."

  "Why?"

  "Because we're your captives, you can do whatever you want..."

  Su Dong burst out laughing and pinched Bai Xiao Ya's shoulder, saying: "Captives? Do I treat captives like this? Help you settle down, when Bai Qing went up the mountain, I even cooked for this little girl. Let me say it again, you are free and owe me nothing."

  Freedom?

  Both Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing found this phrase unbelievable. Although they didn't fully understand the meaning of freedom, they felt that these two words seemed very extraordinary.

  Bai Xiaoya's face turned red as she said in a low voice: "I thought you were being nice to us because you were waiting for me to grow up a bit, and then...and then that would happen between us."

  Pfft!

  Su Dong almost burst out laughing and said, "What's with all the assumptions? What do you think I want to do with just this bean sprout? Alright, stop daydreaming and help me translate this scroll instead, thanks."

  Thank you!

  Two little foxes were again in a state of blissful dizziness.

  Turning around, Su Dong said to Bai Qing: "Something big happened last night, you shouldn't go to Wufeng Mountain again recently, safety first."

  Safety first?

  Luckily, Bai Qing didn't cry out loud, Su Dong was a human being, and this human being was actually worried about the safety of a fox? This is absolutely a rare thing in the world.

  Having said that, Su Dong stood up and walked away directly, leaving Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing staring blankly at Su Dong's back.

  The Bai Ling tribe is a very tragic race among the spiritual beasts. In their education, once they are caught, they must serve their master well. If the master does not beat or scold them, then it will be a happy life.

  Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing had never seen anyone like Su Dong before. Not to mention hitting or scolding, Su Dong even treated these two femme fatales as ordinary friends, discussing everything in a consultative tone, and told them a word that could change their lives: Freedom!

  Bang!

  Su Dong closed the door and two little foxes stared at each other blankly.

  "Freedom? Miss, what is freedom?"

  "Hmm... probably can go out on the streets once a month, but cannot run away, otherwise will still get hit with a board."

  "Is there such a good thing? I heard the old mothers in our tribe say that as long as we are not beaten too severely by our masters, we should thank the gods. He will even let us go out on the streets and stroll around like ordinary girls? Unbelievable."

  "But we can't be too excessive either, going out once a year is enough." Bai Xiaoya said with a nod, thinking she was being clever.

  The two poor little foxes, they had no idea what freedom meant.

  ……

  Bai Xiaoya was moved by Su Dong to the point of being overwhelmed, and unexpectedly completed the translation of Huang Quan's rhyme overnight, bringing it over to Su Dong with reddened eyes.

  Su Dong somewhat reluctantly bid farewell, said some words of gratitude, and told Bai Xiaoya to rest well. As a result, Bai Xiaoya and Bai Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and they cried as they ran back to their own room.

  Su Dong was puzzled, thinking that this little fox was too easily moved. In her past life on Earth, which girl wasn't haughty and proud?

  It seems that being in a different world is still better, casually saying some words of concern, and a bunch of girls would be moved to tears, almost to the point of dedicating their lives.

  With nothing better to do, Su Dong began learning Huang Quan Jue. Only after practicing it once did Su Dong realize the ferocity of this combat technique.

  In the martial arts hall, even the entire human clan's martial skills all follow a path of lightness and sharpness. After all, although the star spirit's combat power is not bad, there are many restrictions, and it is only good at piercing attacks.

  The Yellow Spring is an even more violent type.

  The wonderful thing is that Su Dong is a successor of the Qimen School! His spiritual power is very violent! It's completely impossible to learn those penetrating moves in the martial arts school, but the fierce Huangquan Jue is just right for Su Dong!

  For several days in a row, Su Dong didn't leave the door, on the one hand using his own Feng Shui formation to recover his physical strength, and on the other hand studying the Huang Quan Jue!

  Making rapid progress, Su Dong had a breakthrough in just a few days!

  That day, Su Dong was practicing in the backyard, sweating profusely, when Zhou Xing, the head of the martial arts hall, came looking for him.

  At a glance, Su Dong not only furrowed his brow, but also saw Zhou Xing's eyebrows with a faint layer of dark energy, a very ominous sign.

  The backyard is Su Dong's array of vital points, Su Dong doesn't want to expose it, so he asks Zhou Xing to sit in the front yard and have a cup of tea. Zhou Xing asks: "Why haven't you been going to the martial arts hall lately?"

  Su Dong said calmly: "I killed Ma Jin, the martial arts hall will definitely investigate, it's better for me not to go, wait until the investigation is clear."

  Zhou Xingdao said, "Your calculations are quite accurate. The investigation began the next day, and the master of the mansion inquired about many people involved, and basically understood what happened that night. It was wrong for you to take someone's life, but Ma Jin refused to go and rescue the troops on the southwest road, which is also a mistake. The responsibility is split 50/50."

  Su Dong felt that Zhou Xing's words were hinting at something, and he smiled slightly as he asked: "And then?"

  Zhou Xing looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "It's just that Ma Jin and the city master Tong Yufeng's younger brother-in-law have a good relationship. The city master's younger brother-in-law Gu Chengdong seems unwilling to let you off, and because of his relationship, Tong Yufeng also seems to have some resentment."

  Su Dongdao said: "Understood, when do you want me to ask questions?"

  Zhou Xing was taken aback and sighed, "You didn't even go to the martial arts hall, how do you seem to know everything? What if I just came over today simply to take a look at you?"

  Su Dong said calmly: "If you wanted to see me, you would have come earlier. I'm afraid you've also been investigated by them, right? Also to avoid suspicion, that's why you haven't come looking for me until now."

  Zhou Xing felt a bit awkward, wondering how Su Dong had calculated so accurately. He sighed and said, "You're going to the Wu Guan this afternoon, be careful, I heard that Tong Yu Feng is advocating for your punishment."
