The two families conspired
Seven days had passed since the appearance of the Candle Dragon Legacy.
During this time, the entire Outer Void could be said to have descended into complete chaos.
Countless powerful forces flocked to that region, all just to get a piece of the pie from the Dragon Court.
However, the Dragon Court's attitude was unyielding; they firmly refused to allow any living beings other than those from the Dragon Court to approach.
Even the Dragon Clan was not allowed!
Apart from the Dragon Court, no one could even dream of laying a finger on this Legacy.
Even the ancestor of the Dragon Court had projected a wisp of his will to descend upon this place, in order to deter those who attempted to covet the Candle Dragon Legacy.
As for why his true body did not come, it was mainly because the ancestor of the Dragon Court worried that if his true body arrived, the Dragon Court would be left undefended and vulnerable to attacks from others.
Compared to the yet-to-be-obtained Candle Dragon Legacy, the true blood, legacies, and other items left behind by the progenitor of the Dragon Court within the Dragon Court itself required more protection.
During this time, the Treasure Pavilion had finally made contact with the Su Family.
Although the news sent by Qian Youcai sounded like a complete fantasy to Su Wenjian.
"What do you mean you have already contacted my Grandson? And my Grandson even reached an agreement with you on behalf of the Su Family?"
Despite how unbelievable it was, the letter sent by Qian Youcai bore the unique aura of the heaven-destroying whip; this was something that could not be forged.
Combining this with the various events occurring in the Outer Void, Su Wenjian finally took action.
He called back Su Wenhua, who had been guarding outside the Secret Realm left behind by the Chaos Dao Lord, and after explaining the situation, he prepared to head to the Treasure Pavilion alone.
"Big Brother, why don't you bring along the clan protecting treasure? What if Qian Youcai is up to something?"
Su Wenjian thought for a moment and accepted Su Wenhua's suggestion.
Anyway, apart from the three clan protecting treasures, the Su Family didn't have anything else of much value.
They were not like those major powers that had too much property to guard; as long as the people were there, the Su Family would exist.
"After I take the clan protecting treasure, you must be extra vigilant. That thing will not let us off easily."
At the mention of this, a look of disgust appeared on Su Wenhua's face.
"Don't worry, Big Brother, I understand."
"Very well."
After taking the Su Family's last clan protecting treasure, Su Wenjian opened a space channel and headed to the Precious Treasure Pavilion Headquarters.
...
At the Precious Treasure Pavilion Headquarters, Qian Youcai seemed to have anticipated this, speaking up in advance: "Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Su Family Head."
As soon as he finished speaking, a space channel appeared, and the figure of Su Wenjian stepped out from it.
"Qian Youcai, have you really met my Grandson?"
"Of course I have met your Little Nephew; I even saw your son and daughter-in-law."
Su Wenjian's breathing immediately became somewhat rapid. He stepped forward and grabbed Qian Youcai by the shoulders: "Is this true!?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Qian Youcai gently brushed the hands off his shoulders, stepped back, and raised his hand to condense a statue using his spiritual power.
This statue was unmistakably in the likeness of Su Ming.
In that space, only Su Ming, whose strength was insufficient, had his original appearance revealed.
That was why Qian Youcai could perfectly recreate him on the spot.
"This is what your Grandson looks like. You surely haven't seen him yet, right?"
To say that Su Wenjian had never seen Su Ming would be impossible.
After Su Xiu finished dealing with the Seal-Seeking Holy Guard of the Dragon Court and sent Luo Ningshuang to the Jade Pool Holy Land, he had reported it to Su Wenjian.
Therefore, Su Wenjian not only knew what Su Ming looked like, but he was also clear about the appearance of his Granddaughter-in-law, Luo Ningshuang.
However, perhaps due to still holding some grudges in his heart, Su Xiu did not inform him that Su Ming possessed the Supreme Chaos Body.
"This is indeed my Grandson, without a doubt." Su Wenjian's emotions were somewhat stirred. "You have indeed met him."
"Since the Su Family Head knows what the Little Nephew looks like, you must surely know about that matter, right?" Qian Youcai suddenly changed his tone and said mysteriously.
Su Wenjian subconsciously assumed he was talking about the Candle Dragon Secret Realm, so he replied: "You called me here just for that Legacy?"
Su Wenjian's words were, in fact, unexpected to Qian Youcai.
As Su Ming's grandfather and Su Wu's father, Su Wenjian actually didn't know about this matter?
Qian Youcai, who had read countless people, could naturally tell that Su Wenjian was not lying to him; the other party truly had no idea about it.
Since Su Wu intentionally kept Su Wenjian in the dark, he did not intend to reveal it proactively either.
Moreover, calling Su Wenjian here this time was indeed also with the intention of discussing the exploration of the Candle Dragon Secret Realm with him.
Thus, Qian Youcai took over the conversation and said: "That is the Legacy of the Limitless Realm; is the Su Family Head not even the slightest bit tempted?"
Su Wenjian opened his mouth, but in the end, he closed it again.
That was the Legacy of the Limitless Realm; to say he wasn't tempted would be a lie.
Su Wenjian knew clearly in his heart that if he had the strength of the Limitless Realm, he could protect both Su Wu and Su Ming at will.
Seeing this reaction, Qian Youcai felt a surge of joy and struck while the iron was hot.
"Since the Su Family Head is also tempted, and we have already agreed on the terms of cooperation, why don't we join forces to take this Secret Realm?"
"To tell you the truth, this Secret Realm of the Legacy was actually something the Dragon Court invited me to explore together."
"Are you truly confident in obtaining this Legacy?"
Su Wenjian retorted.
If Qian Youcai really had the confidence to obtain the Legacy in the Candle Dragon Secret Realm, then cooperating with him would be securing a huge advantage.
But if Qian Youcai was not confident, then this thing was a massive pitfall!
"Of course I am not confident. That is a Legacy left behind by a Candle Dragon. If you were a Candle Dragon, would you let the Human Race obtain a Legacy you left behind?"
Su Wenjian realized it upon being asked this.
Although he did not really care whether he left behind a Legacy or if anyone inherited his mantle.
But if asked whether he would be willing to leave a Legacy to an alien race, he would likely be unwilling.
Looking at it this way, the Candle Dragon likely would not leave the Opportunity to them, the Human Race.
After thinking this through, Su Wenjian looked at Qian Youcai in confusion.
"Since that's the case, what is there for us to fight over? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort in the end?"
"That is not the case." Qian Youcai shook his head.
"Right now, the entire Outer Void is eyeing that Secret Realm. If the Dragon Court keeps occupying it, several other families will definitely join forces to apply pressure. At that time, for the sake of the big picture, the Dragon Court will have no choice but to open the Secret Realm and let other forces enter. That will be our Opportunity."
"To tell you the truth, when I spread the news, I hid one point: the Candle Dragon Secret Realm has a Seal, and there is a strict restriction on the Realm of those who enter..."
Having said this much, Su Wenjian naturally understood what Qian Youcai intended to do.
"So, have you chosen the younger generation to enter that Secret Realm?"
To be honest, Su Wenjian was also a bit curious whether the Treasure Pavilion, this merchant association, had properly cultivated enough Geniuses under its banner.
"Su Family Head, please rest assured. I naturally have preparations here, and I even have a highly recommended candidate."
"Oh? I wonder which young talent could make Pavilion Master Qian recommend them so highly?"
"He is none other than your Grandson, Su Ming!"
