Chapter 289
Seeing that Su Xianyun didn't respond to her words, Liang Suru seemed very hurt and said hoarsely:
"I knew you were still blaming me. Why can't you understand us? We have always wanted to protect you! We are your biological parents, and we love you more than anyone else!"
"No need."
Su Xianyun suddenly spoke, his long eyelashes lowered, his eyes narrowed, and he murmured, "...That's not necessary."
It doesn't matter whether Liang Suru really wants to save him or is just pretending to deceive him.
He would never trust Liang Suru again, nor would he accept anything from her.
He hoped that they would just pretend not to know him, and that was all he hoped for now.
Liang Suru didn't understand what he meant, and kept saying something anxiously, implying that Su Xianyun must accept the key.
He also said that if Su Xianyun didn't accept the key, they would die.
Unfortunately, Su Xianyun didn't respond a single word from beginning to end.
The cages holding Su Xianyun and Gu An were located in a seemingly ordinary house. The house was spacious and could probably accommodate hundreds of people.
But apart from the cage, there was not even a window in the house, and no other furniture.
Liang Suru stood outside the cage and talked for so long that she was tired.
She glanced at Su Changtian and handed the key to him.
Just as Su Changtian was about to be replaced to persuade Su Xianyun, an impatient shout suddenly came from behind them:
"Okay, stop wasting time!"
Then Song Yici came in with a group of cultivators.
Su Xianyun didn't recognize most of these monks. They were carrying boxes of various sizes.
Su Xianyun was very familiar with these boxes. They contained various knives, which were used to inject special dyes into the wounds so that the skin would appear the color they desired.
The colors that are integrated into the flesh and blood cannot be removed by external forces and can only be left to fade away on their own.
When Su Changtian saw Song Yici coming in, his expression changed slightly. He knelt down and said anxiously to Song Yici, "Elder Song, please give me a little more time. I promise to make Su Xian allow him to accept this!"
"Don't you see he doesn't believe you anymore?"
Song Yici sneered.
Seeing that Su Xianyun was not fooled, Song Yici was too lazy to pretend anymore. He directly took the "key" from Su Changtian's hand and said to Su Xianyun:
"This is a special restriction that will render you powerless to resist. Su Xianyun, your parents swore to make you accept this. If they had completed the task I assigned them, they would have received 20% of the profits from this transaction. Unfortunately, they failed, so they can only take the 10% reward according to the original regulations."
When he said this, Su Xianyun subconsciously looked at Su Changtian and Liang Suru.
They both showed an unwilling look at the same time.
Even though he had expected it, even though Su Xianyun kept telling himself that this was normal, he still felt a suffocating and dull feeling at that moment.
"Didn't you say that if I didn't accept it, you would die?"
"Why should they die?" Song Yici sneered, "They are our important partners. They are responsible for finding all the materials and people we need. I can't bear to kill them!"
Su Xianyun suddenly laughed, and he laughed out loud, his pale face completely devoid of color.
"...So you're just trying to gain 10%?"
For a mere 10% profit, he was sold to Yuanshan Sect again.
They knew exactly what was going to happen to him.
They are his family, his parents.
Su Xianyun couldn't be cruel to them, but they could hurt him without hesitation.
"So what?"
Liang Suru finally stopped pretending. She wiped the tears from her face and said coldly:
"You are no longer our child. Our child died when he was sent to Yuanshan Sect!"
After deciding to use Su Xianyun to exchange for benefits, Su Changtian and she had already decided to treat Su Xianyun as dead.
They will give the love that should be given to Su Xianyun to their new child.
After learning that Su Xianyun had escaped, they looked for him everywhere, just to trick him into sending him back to Yuanshan Sect so that they could continue to maintain their current peaceful life.
Su Changtian exhaled, looked at Su Xianyun calmly and said:
"Our Su family is a large family with a history of thousands of years. We cannot tolerate a filthy person who has lost his dignity and is not even considered a human being."
Hearing this, Song Yici and others laughed out loud, and watched Su Changtian and the others tearing apart and trampling on Su Xianyun's dignity with a smile.
Amidst the ridicule from all sides, Su Xianyun felt as if he had returned to the past, being stared at by countless disgusting gazes, in despair, and drowned in darkness without hope.
Because asking for help is useless, I will no longer ask for help.
Because no one regards him as a human being, no one listens to what he says.
Because speaking in a pleasant voice will result in more disgusting treatment, so I stopped speaking.
Yes, he had lived such a happy life in the past few years that he had forgotten that he was just a person who had no dignity to speak of just to survive...
"elder brother!"
Suddenly, a clear shout came from above.
Su Xianyun looked up suddenly and saw Yu Xi had appeared above the cage without him noticing. Her white, fluffy fox ears had been drooping, but when she saw him looking at her, they immediately stood up high. Her fox eyes shone particularly brightly in the dim room, like the moon.
"finally found you!"
As he spoke, Yu Xi reached into the cage and handed the key to Su Xianyun, saying, "Brother Su, take a quick look. Can this key open this cage?"
This cage had no lock, and Yu Xi didn't know where to insert the key even after getting it.
Su Xianyun's mind was blank. He didn't think at all. His body moved instinctively. He reached out to Yu Xi without hesitation and took the key from her hand.
He skillfully placed the key on a place with words printed on it in the cage with his backhand. The key disappeared and the cage opened.
Yu Xi, who was on top of the cage, suddenly had no place to stand and fell down. Su Xianyun panicked instantly and hurriedly raised his hand to catch her, fearing that she would fall and get hurt.
Yu Xi took the opportunity to hug his neck.
"Brother, don't listen to them. They can't produce ivory!"
At this point, she sighed:
"I'm sorry, Brother Su, I'm late. If I had come earlier, I could have covered your ears, Brother Su, and you wouldn't have to let the barking of dogs pollute your ears."
Su Xianyun was stunned. Looking at Yu Xi frowning in distress, he suddenly laughed for some reason. His heart, which was trembling slightly with laughter, was filled with joy.
Unlike the self-deprecating laugh before, this time he just laughed happily.
He didn't want his junior sister to save him, fearing that she would be in danger.
But when his junior sister really came, he was uncontrollably happy.
At this moment he understood that he and his junior sister had no blood relationship, but his junior sister was his real family.
