Even as a waste in people’s eyes, Su Gu has not given up. He knew his situation and analyzed his own possible failures. He was advised to show weakness now and then to his two elder brothers. However, Su Gu was clear about his two elder brother’s temperament. No matter who finally became the king of Luoye City, even if Su Gu’s life was spared, he will not have a good one.
It was better to fight than to be a slave owner without ambition. That was not how a good slave owner should be.
Because of this decision, Su Gu would practice every day, closed in his room without other people knowing. Again and again, he experienced failure, so his confidence was getting less and less.
Since he had attempted it for a lot of times, Su Gu was very clear in the changes in his ability. After sensing today’s difference, he carefully observed it more when he practiced enslavement again. Then, he was pleasantly surprised that the force now was more fluent than usual and not as hard as before.
Why did such a change happen?
After the surprise, Su Gu began to analyze it carefully. He also thought of the results of his daily practice, but, despite diligently practicing, he did not see such a noticeable change before. These days, he also had less practice time than usual because he had to do various things, hence the result this time was extremely shocking to him.
Why?
Why was this happening?
Su Gu thought of the things he did these past two days, and analyzed it. Suddenly, the movement of his fingers stopped and his pupils contracted as he thought of a possibility.
Flaming Horns tribe’s Shao Xuan!
The man who had the predicting ability of a shaman!
Yes, it seemed that the change was born at that time. Before, because of his heavy thoughts, he paid it no attention. Now, in retrospect, at that time, there was indeed a bit of a strange feeling. It seemed that a scoop of muddy water, mixed with sand, was filtered by a densely woven linen.
The more he thought, the more he felt it was so.
Su Gu walked back and forth in the room, jumping with his fist clenched as his spirit raised. He took deep breaths several times, and let his excited mood gently calm down.
In order to confirm it. Su Gu ran to the tribal area again that day.
In the evening, Shao Xuan looked at the energetic and spirited third young master, practicing slavery before him.
Because there was less firewood, it was inconvenient to light a fire, so Shao Xuan took out a piece of water moon stone for lighting. Looking at the young slave owner who was practicing, Shao Xuan was not in a hurry as he observed the change of the flame in his mind again. He had guessed that, because of the eggshell in his mind, Su Gu had some favorable changes. Su Gu wanted to get advantage from that, and Shao Xuan himself wanted to study the source of a slave owner’s power. Su Gu was just an experimental product.
Among the red and blue flames, the sense of clutter grew weaker. The blue flames and the red flames were both gathering and becoming distinct. When Su Gu used the power of slavery, the blue flame appeared on his hand, and it was more and more stable, unlike before. It seemed as if the wind had blown away.
Lei, who was living in the opposite room looked at the moon outside the window, then looked at the light in Shao Xuan’s room. He thought: The night was already late and they were not sleeping yet. Did that third young master came again to do something? Is his brain in the sand?
Su Gu stayed with Shao Xuan until dawn of the next day.
In the morning, the tribes who started to get up early talked about the cooperation between the three people of the Flaming Horns tribe and the useless third young master. When they saw the door of this tribe’s embassy open, the third young master that they were talking about walked out from inside with a straight face, as if there was something that made him very angry.
After Su Gu left, the tribes who gathered together to chat were full of disbelief.
That was just… Su Gu? The third young master of Luoye City?
It seems to be.
What seems to be?! That’s Su Gu!
How can Su Gu come out of the Flaming Horns tribe’s? Did he come here before dawn?
I heard that Su Gu came over last night. He never left and just went out now?
Even if the tribes had cooperated with the slave owners, there had never been a slave owner who stayed at the tribe’s area for the night. What they saw had not happened to them.
From looking at Su Gu’s face just now, was there a fight with the people of the Flaming Horns tribe?
Maybe they fought over a negotiation,
someone reckoned.
Very likely.
In their view, whether it was Su Gu or the Flaming Horns tribe’s peoplr, both were unreliable and their gathering together would certainly result in a fight.
On the other hand, Su Gu maintained his tight face, not letting other people see the excitement in his heart. While suppressing his laughter, his veins were all out, making his face look a little scary. Not that he didn’t want to laugh, but if he showed his happy face while coming out of the Flaming Horns tribe’s, there might be some speculation that there were some benefits one could get from there.
He couldn’t let other people know of Shao Xuan’s ability. If it was known by his two brothers, Shao Xuan would be dug out from him. Su Gu has never been so fortunate to cooperate with the Flaming Horns tribe.
At first, Su Gu decided to cooperate with the people from the Flaming Horns but he did not plan to actually take them seriously. Even if it was not this tribe, as long as it was a tribe, he planned to treat them with the same attitude. However, now, Su Gu’s view of these people has completely changed. Whether it was from Shao Xuan’s suggestion or his own plans, he decide to pay more attention to it.
The deal was worth it! Thinking of Shao Xuan’s request, Su Gu also began to prepare. If these people wanted to know more about the slave owners, he has to hurry to get these information ready or his allies would leave.
From the tribal area back to the palace, Su Gu saw the slaves were moving out many sharp-bottomed pottery with fruit wine from the cellar. Today, there was wine to drink. Su Gu’s mood was better that he couldn’t help but show a smile. What he suppressed before, now, he finally laughed out. Well, then, he could also send some to the Flaming Horns tribe.
His mood was good that, even if it was to the slaves, Su Gu also showed a rare smile.
When the slaves holding the wine saw Su Gu laugh, they shook the wine and it almost fell.
Is this the third young master? Third young master could laugh so kindly instead of hypocritically?
Haven’t they woken up yet?
Su Gu did not see the reactions of the wine slaves there as he directly went to his residence. When he was passing through the pool in the palace, he was fine to stop and watch.
In the desert, it was extravagant to build such a pool of flowers and raising turtles. Only the king’s palace could have such a view.
With the flowers growing in the water, Su Gu was confused when he saw a turtle had crawled out of the water, lying on the side of the pool with half of its body exposed outside.
The turtle in the pond was brought from another place by a slave of Su Gu’s father. They thought it would not live, but who knew it really survived long. It was just not active and every day, it was listless. With a grass stick, he poked it to get a rare reaction, since its body color had become lighter, but he didn’t know how it happened.
Near the flower pool, the air seemed exceptionally fresh and moist. Su Gu sat by the pool, looking at the turtle on his side. With his fingers, he quickly poked it a bit, but the turtle did not move.
He poked it again.
It’s still not moving.
Su Gu didn’t care about other matters.
Looking around for the slave team that were just patrolling this side, he saw that they had gone and no one else was around.
Thinking of his achievement last night, Su Gu couldn’t help but reach out his hand and mobilize the power in his body. Soon, in his palm, there appeared a bunch of blue flames, the shape of the flame could be seen clearly.
Feeling the smoothness of the process, Su Gu’s mood was like pouring cold water in a hot day. It was refreshing.
Perhaps, in a short time, he would be able to enslave people and be able to own slaves that truly belong to him!
Looking at the flame in the palm of his hand, Su Gu took a glimpse at the slow-moving turtle, and unconsciously reached his hand over there.
At the moment he touched the turtle’s back, the blue flame ran down Su Gu’s palm and spread over the turtle’s body.
As the flames spread, black stripes appeared on the turtle’s back. Su Gu felt a force along his arm, passing to the turtle.
After counting his breath, Su Gu felt the energy of his body stabilize again, and the flames on his palm disappeared.
Suddenly, tiredness hit him and Su Gu rubbed his forehead as he felt something. His eyes fixed at the side of the pond where the turtle was and his facial expression changed from disbelief, to stunned, to surprise, then to anger. The fast-changing expression made the muscles on his face twitch.
He succeeded in enslavement.
This was worth celebrating and he should be happy.
However!
Su Gu really did not want to be the first in history, the first slave owner to have enslaved a turtle!
