My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 1352 - 1356: Cooperation

"Sigh, fine then. You little girl have had this stubborn mule temper since you were a kid."

Su Jiuzi knew exactly what his granddaughter's temperament was like. Seeing how determined she was, he stopped trying to persuade her. He took out an Elixir for Su Hongling to swallow, then set the severed arm down and slowly walked out of the room.

Looking at the severed arm beside her, a layer of tears welled up in Su Hongling's beautiful eyes.

Which girl would ever wish to be disabled?

Which girl would willingly accept having one of her arms crippled?

It was just that losing to Yun Hao so easily left Su Hongling feeling unwilling to accept it.

She was supposed to be that heaven-blessed proud daughter, the Holy City's prodigy whom everyone in the Holy City would show respect and worship toward the moment they saw her.

She slowly took out a small case, placed the severed arm inside, and added a crystal to prevent it from icing over. That way, even decades or a hundred years later, if she wanted to reattach this arm, it wouldn't be affected in the slightest.

After Su Jiuzi came out, he sat down opposite Yun Hao. Looking at the young man in front of him, in a moment of daze he overlapped Yun Hao's figure with that of an old acquaintance from many years ago.

"Your name is Yun Hao, right? Didn't expect you'd already grown this big, and your Cultivation is already this high!"

Su Jiuzi picked up the wine pot, poured himself a cup, took a drink, then looked at Yun Hao and asked, somewhat thoughtfully.

"You know me?"

Yun Hao's pupils shrank; even his motion of drinking stopped as he stared at Su Jiuzi opposite him.

Ever since he came here, he'd been using the name Asura. Yet this man had called out his real name in one go—this made no sense at all.

"Hehe, twenty years ago, I once held you in my arms. It's just that you were still very small back then, so you probably don't remember me." Su Jiuzi shook his head, his gaze at Yun Hao carrying a hint of affection.

That look was almost the same as when he looked at his granddaughter Su Hongling.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. Or don't blame me if I take a swing at you."

Being stared at like that by an old man, Yun Hao couldn't help feeling a bit timid inside, so he threatened back.

Off to the side, Zhao Ya saw that Yun Hao actually had moments when he was scared, and couldn't help secretly hiding behind Yun Hao, letting out a quiet giggle.

Yun Hao's big hand lightly patted Zhao Ya's thigh, using his eyes to threaten her.

"I was wrong, okay?"

Seeing Yun Hao look over, Zhao Ya had no choice but to coquettishly act spoiled.

"Quit being lewd, there's an outsider here."

Yun Hao glared at Zhao Ya, then turned his gaze back to Su Jiuzi again.

Hearing Yun Hao's words, Zhao Ya could only aggrievedly hug Yun Hao's arm with both hands, snuggling her whole body into Yun Hao's embrace.

"Back then I once had a great battle with your father. At that time we were both at Peak of Eighth Grade, but in the end I still lost. After I was defeated, some enemies happened to ambush me, and it was your father who saved me in the end."

Su Jiuzi acted as if he hadn't seen Zhao Ya clinging to Yun Hao at all. He just gave Zhao Ya one extra glance, feeling that he seemed to have seen her somewhere before.

"What are you telling me all this for? I'm not interested in your past."

Yun Hao continued drinking, speaking casually.

"Back then the reason I fought your father was over a corpse, can you believe that? That corpse seemed to belong to a Divine Realm Expert. Many experts took part in that battle. I was fighting over it with your father, but later your father went on to fight the Immortal Realm's number one expert, Former Emperor Qingmu, and they both ended up heavily wounded.

So in the end, that corpse still ended up in my hands. Only later it was snatched away by Feng Wudao, and the corpse was hidden inside the Demon Race Sacred Land. It's said that once you pass the fifth trial, you'll see that corpse!

It's just that with my ability, I could only reach the fourth trial, so I want to ask you to go with me. Maybe if we go together, we can get through the fourth trial and even the fifth trial!

And then we'll get to see that Divine Realm Expert's corpse."

Su Jiuzi didn't mind Yun Hao's tone in the least. Instead he kept talking and directly laid out his goal.

A Divine Level expert's corpse?

Yun Hao listened feeling completely lost. What kind of nonsense was this?

Sure, above Ninth Grade there was the Divine Realm, but seriously, just finding a corpse could let you comprehend it?

"It's said that on that Divine Realm expert's corpse, there's a secret about advancing to the Divine Realm. Back then Feng Wudao only ascended to become a Divine Realm Expert because he deciphered that secret and grasped a trace of the Divine Realm's profoundness."

Seeing Yun Hao remain silent, Su Jiuzi spoke again.

"You only came looking for me alone? That doesn't sound right. Since you want that corpse so badly, I'm guessing you already made preparations long ago."

Yun Hao looked at Su Jiuzi, speaking in a low voice, his eyes locked onto the old man.

"To be frank, before you I did indeed recruit a few experts, and they all agreed. The reason I came to you was to add one more layer of insurance.

The people going with us include Ye Wuqing from the Upper Realm, Xing Tian from the Immortal Realm, Li Zhan of the Flood Dragon Race, and Feng Yin of the Celestial Phoenix Race. With the strength of the few of us and our understanding of that place, we should be able to safely pass the fourth trial.

But for the unknown fifth trial, none of us feel confident. Even though everyone going this time is an expert, we still want it to be more secure."

After hearing Yun Hao's question, Su Jiuzi didn't hesitate at all. He spoke calmly and told Yun Hao directly who the others were.

Seeing that Su Jiuzi had actually gathered so many experts, a barely noticeable look flashed across Yun Hao's eyes.

Looked like Su Jiuzi was absolutely determined to succeed on this trip to the Demon Race Sacred Land.

"What do you need me to do?"

Yun Hao didn't rush to agree. He posed another question instead.

"For the first three trials, the five of us can break through them easily. When we reach the fourth trial, we'll need to join forces. If we manage to reach the fifth trial, we'll have to decide what to do based on the situation then. After all, no one knows what the fifth trial is like."

Su Jiuzi seemed to have anticipated Yun Hao's question long ago and answered coolly.

"Alright. When the Demon Race Sacred Land opens, I'll come. I'm heading home for a bit these next few days."

Yun Hao nodded and spoke to Su Jiuzi.

"Here is a Teleportation Jade Scroll, Lord Asura, please keep it safe. When the time comes, no matter where you are, you only need to crush this Jade Scroll and you'll instantly appear at the gates of the Demon Race Sacred Land. I hope, Lord Asura, you won't be late."

Su Jiuzi handed Yun Hao a Jade Scroll, reminding him softly.

After putting away the Jade Scroll, Yun Hao took Zhao Ya with him and vanished from the place in a flash.

Watching Yun Hao leave with Zhao Ya, a subtle, meaningful look flashed across Su Jiuzi's old eyes.
