CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 21: WRAP THE BODY IN HORSEHIDE

Unknowingly, an hour passed by, and visiting time was up.

Su Yue reluctantly prepared to leave.

Knowing that his dad was doing well in prison, he felt at ease.

"Dad, are you sure you didn’t leave me with a safe deposit box or something?"

Before leaving, Su Yue asked reluctantly again.

All he got was this nursing home envelope, which was too bleak. Not only was there no good news, but also a burden of responsibility.

"Here’s a dragon robe, want to wear it? Just in time to inherit my throne, carry on with this tea tray!"

Su Qingfeng pointed to the prison uniform hanging on the coat rack.

Su Yue left dejectedly.

"With Dad inside, don’t let it scare you."

Su Yue came out, and Xu Baiyan was already eager.

The father and daughter didn’t have any serious business, just casual chatting.

Su Yue leaned against the corridor, looking at the distant prison area.

There was the real prison, with uniform buzz cuts, uniform prison uniforms, uniform outdoor time, and uniform boiled cabbage.

Every prisoner was in a state of malnutrition, each like a living corpse, listless and spiritless.

His own dad, after all, wasn’t an ordinary man.

Even with a life sentence, he seemed to be enjoying life.

"Dad, just how glorious were you?"

Su Yue murmured to himself.

In the outside world, even Major Generals covertly looked after him because of his dad.

In prison, he was practically a big shot.

Only power could bring all of this, Su Yue realized deeply.

It’s said that the case his dad committed back then wouldn’t suffice with even ten lives to repay.

But because he was Su Qingfeng, it ended up being just life imprisonment.

Truly, that’s my old man, he’s something else.

"Bro, let’s go!"

Xu Baiyan came out, smiling broadly.

"What are you laughing at? Did my dad hand over the family wealth to you?"

Su Yue pouted.

This laughter was just too bizarre.

"Narrow-minded! I’m happy for Dad. He’s not suffering here, living leisurely, practically an immortal’s life."

Xu Baiyan glared at Su Yue.

The prison visit was over.

"Brother, I’m getting off at Hongyuan City, just in time to report, when your finals are over, I’ll come to Cengyan City to see you.

"Make sure to really focus on your exams. If you can’t get into the potential class, I’ll beat you to death.

"When you’re alone, don’t be too pathetic, I’ll definitely help introduce some seniors to you, this arm... sigh."

Before leaving, Xu Baiyan pinched Su Yue’s right arm, looking complicated.

"Sis, why do I feel you’re not pure!"

Su Yue frowned.

What’s wrong with people nowadays?

...

The great prison.

"Prince Qing, are you really going to leave?

"I think you should reconsider. As long as I’m here, you will definitely be the most comfortable in prison."

After the visit ended, the Warden sat in front of Su Qingfeng, the two of them drinking tea.

"This year in prison, my mindset has become much calmer, and the injuries in my body have healed too.

"What’s the point of staying here?

"I still prefer to go to the Wet Ghost Tower, it’s more thrilling there.

"Besides, the agreement I made with the Elixir Medicine Company back then, I can only quietly stay in prison, not even able to leave my son some property, it’s suffocating."

Su Qingfeng crossed his legs.

"Prince Qing, your current status is a prisoner, you can only go to the fourth battlefield.

"You should know better than me that the second battlefield and the fourth battlefield are completely different. The fourth battlefield is a meat grinder, with hardly any chance of survival."

The Warden frowned.

He also understood Su Qingfeng’s inner repression, as back then the incident was too big, and the Elixir Medicine Company’s power was overwhelming.

Su Qingfeng couldn’t help his son, that’s a fact.

And under the influence of the Elixir Medicine Company, many people dared not, or found it inconvenient to intervene.

"The pressure on the Shenchu Corps has always been enormous. You’re a member of the warden system, if I go, fewer people will die, you should be happy."

Su Qingfeng stood up, crushing the prayer beads in his hand.

This symbolized his decision to end his leisurely retirement.

The Wet Ghost Tower of the fourth battlefield was in Shenchu City.

Shenchu City, Prison City, where all of Divine Land’s death row inmates are eventually escorted.

The Shenchu Corps, one of the seven major corps of Divine Land, is responsible for quelling all death row inmates, and also for guarding the fourth battlefield’s Wet Ghost Tower.

"Prince Qing, going to Shenchu City, you will only be able to charge at the front line as a prisoner, you’ll really die."

All of Divine Land’s wardens come from the Shenchu Corps.

He knew better than anyone the situation of the fourth battlefield, which is why he was firmly opposed.

"Well, charge then, it’s not like I haven’t charged in the second battlefield before.

"I survived my youth, now that I’m older, can’t be afraid of death.

"My son will eventually go to the Wet Ghost Tower, and he’ll be proud of me."

Su Qingfeng took out an application form and placed it in front of the Warden.

"Sigh... what’s the use."

The Warden was helpless.

"How’s the situation on the Damp Zone side lately?"

Su Qingfeng asked.

"The first battlefield in the Eastern Imperial Capital has been stable. No issues on the second battlefield either. It’s said the Wet Ghost Tower of the third battlefield was broken through once, the rest are stable.

"Oh right, the fourth battlefield has been unsettled, with over a thousand prisoners dying daily, and the Shenchu Corps has suffered heavy losses too."

The Warden sighed.

"Arrange for me to go to Shenchu City as soon as possible, I haven’t been to the Wet Ghost Tower in a long time, I’m a bit excited."

"Prince Qing, once you leave, there’s really no coming back."

The Warden’s face was full of worry.

"Then I won’t come back. After all, martial artists of this era foolishly still regard dying in battle as the highest honor."

Hearing this, the Warden gave a bitter smile.

The comfortable life that other martial artists yearn for, you simply don’t cherish.

"Son, hurry up and get into college, strive to make a name for yourself in the Damp Zone soon.

"Your dad is waiting for you!"

Su Qingfeng twisted his neck, putting on the detector.

9712.

The alarming Qi Blood fluctuation caused the detector to emit a piercing whine.

Swish!

The Warden stood up, saluted solemnly with a firm and dignified face.

Swish!

Su Qingfeng returned the salute.

...

The next station for the bus was Cengyan City, Su Yue looked out the window, feeling very calm.

His dad was living leisurely, so he could feel at peace and now could focus on cultivating without worry.

...

Ding!

Divine Land Bank informs you that a large sum of 1 million yuan has been credited.

...

Suddenly, a notification sounded from the phone in his pocket.

Under normal circumstances, the Divine Land Bank app made no sound, but a 1 million amount was too large, hence a forced alert.

"Oh, it’s finally credited."

Su Yue took out his phone, smiling like a mindless miser.

A million! The phone seemed to feel heavy now.

"Today’s young people are just too vain, what kind of ringtone is this?"

"Exactly, at such a young age, instead of being down-to-earth, this extravagant ringtone is just showing off."

"Why not set it for a billion, that would be even more flamboyant."

A lot of people whispered in the carriage, Su Yue had a black face.

Was he being too ostentatious?

You guys are just jealous.

Fortunately, in a few minutes, the bus arrived at the station, and Su Yue quickly got off.

...

It was already evening, Su Yue ran straight home.

The money was credited, now this 260 square meter warehouse would be his mansion.

After returning home, Su Yue told Su Jianzhou about his father’s situation, his uncle wasn’t surprised either, as if he knew his dad wouldn’t suffer.

Su Jianjun hadn’t finished school yet, Su Yue was a little hungry, eagerly waiting for his younger cousin to come back soon.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, they had guests.

Su Yue thought it was the landlord, but unexpectedly, it was Wang Nanguo and Admiral Li Xingpei who came.

They were in casual clothes, with a few Investigation and Arrest Bureau guards behind them, carrying some gift boxes.

This was surprising, the Admiral visiting in person.

"Admiral, Director, you... "

Su Yue was a bit flustered for a moment.

"You received the bounty, right? I’ve just finished with the Investigation and Arrest Bureau’s matters, I’ve been saying for ages I’d come to your home to thank you, and only now found the time."

Wang Nanguo patted Su Yue on the shoulder.

Not an exaggeration to say, this was a lifesaver.

"The Admiral’s Mansion brought some peace offerings, also a reason to pay a visit."

Li Xingpei nodded, visiting was an unspoken rule for the former Admiral. But Su Qingfeng’s situation was special, she hadn’t come before.

Now that Su Yue had made a contribution, it gave her a chance to come visit.

"Please come inside."

Su Yue hastily invited everyone in.
