384: Su Qingge's past, Scarlet Society

【If Lin Xuan knew my "true face," he would surely fear me.】

【No one would like a murderous demon...】

【That's right! Even if Grandpa knew, he might not be able to understand me! I must hide all of this well, and absolutely not let my close friends and family know.】

【To protect those I cherish, the current me... must become stronger, and I can only become stronger, strong enough to kill my master...】

【I can't turn back now! No matter what the cost, no matter how many lives I have to devour, I must become stronger.】

【Otherwise, not only will I die, but also Lin Xuan... Grandpa, everyone around me will be killed by my master...】

...Su Qingge lowered her eyes, gritted her silver teeth, and leaned quietly in Lin Xuan's arms.

Her thoughts, however, couldn't help but return to three years ago, to her first meeting with her master... At that time, due to her parents' accidental deaths, Su Corporation was plagued by internal and external troubles, on the verge of collapse.

Just as she was about to give up and lose hope... a woman wearing a red skull mask and with a graceful figure appeared before her.

Without a word, she pulled out two surveillance videos and played them for her.

And the content of the videos!

It was the scene of her biological parents being murdered; those unidentified individuals even humiliated her mother in front of her father...

"No! Don't, go away! Please! Let go of me, quickly let go of me!!!!"

"Beasts! You beasts!!! Don't touch my wife, don't touch her!!! Please, I'm kowtowing to you! Spare us!!!! Ahhh!!!"

"…"

Ultimately, her parents, unable to bear the humiliation, both bit their tongues and committed suicide, perishing in the fire.

Witnessing her parents suffer such a calamity, Su Qingge was in unbearable pain and on the verge of madness.

But she could do nothing, only watch helplessly as, in the video, her parents' bodies turned to ashes in the flames...

As for the second video, it was equally difficult for Su Qingge to accept; it showed her brother Su Yang being chased, shot in the left chest, and dying instantly.

It was only then that Su Qingge realized her closest family members had not died accidentally, but had been murdered.

She hated!!!

She raged!!!

But she was also very desperate; with her abilities at the time, she could do nothing but rage impotently...

It was then that the woman spoke, her cold, hoarse voice assailing her.

"Do you want to know who killed your parents? Do you want revenge? Do you want to slaughter those people?"

"Then, let's make a deal! A deal that bets your life..."

"In return, I will give you the power for revenge!"

"…"

From that day on, the mysterious woman made a deal with Su Qingge and became her master.

However, to this day, Su Qingge still doesn't know why her master sought her out that day, what her specific identity is, or what her true purpose is.

But one thing she knows clearly... is that for revenge, power is indispensable.

At that time, the only one she could rely on was the mysterious "master" who had suddenly appeared before her.

And the first command the other party gave was for Su Qingge to cultivate Inner Strength on her own within three years.

One must know that martial artists almost always start practicing from a young age, laying a solid foundation, to possibly comprehend a trace of Inner Strength through years of accumulated practice.

But by then, Su Qingge had long passed the optimal age for martial arts training.

She was also busy with company affairs daily, lacking exercise and physical activity, making her truly a "weak woman" with no strength to bind a chicken.

Under normal circumstances!

Let alone three years, even thirty years would not be enough for her to break through to Inner Strength.

The mysterious woman seemed well aware of this; her words did not hold much hope, merely a cold remark:

"If you can't do it, then it means I found the wrong person."

However, what the mysterious woman herself never expected was... Su Qingge's talent far exceeded her imagination, and coupled with that unparalleled determination for revenge, she actually created a miracle...

"Excellent! Very good! Indeed, I didn't find the wrong person."

"From today onwards, you are my direct disciple, the future successor of the Scarlet Society."

"I will give you everything I have! You must become stronger, stronger than everyone else."

"Until one day, you surpass me and kill me with your own hands!"

"If you can't do it, it means you are not a qualified work..."

"Then I will kill you first, and then find everyone you care about around you, one by one, and slaughter them all."

"…"
