Su Zhou listened to the prompts ringing in his ears and looked at Su Yang and Su Buku with even more benevolent eyes.

After all, the wool comes from the sheep, and you’re using wool to raise the lambs—such a perfect cycle, who could resist loving it?

“What’s with all the noise so early in the morning?”

“Family Leader!!”

“Family Leader!!”

The two of them bowed respectfully toward Su Zhou.

Su Zhou waved his hand, signaling them not to bother with such tedious formalities, then continued:

“You two are qilin seeds of the Su Family. You should naturally encourage each other.”

“Little Su Yang has already stepped into the peak of the Blood Tempering Realm, not bad. Keep working hard.”

“As a Su Family genius, resources will naturally not be lacking for you—here, take this.”

As he spoke, a jade box floated into Su Zhou’s hand.

He handed it over to Su Yang.

Su Yang was stunned at first. He had already received those two miraculous cultivation techniques from Su Zhou and was deeply grateful—how could he dare ask for more resources?

He was well aware that he was no mere child, but a reborn Poison Marquis. He had his own methods— even without relying on the family’s resources, with the Nine Tribulation Sword in hand, he could still grow rapidly.

Now that the family was being rebuilt from the ground up, resources should be given to those who needed them more.

Just as Su Yang was about to refuse, a voice echoed in his mind—it was Su Zhou.

“All things, leave them to the Su Family. Behind you stands me, holding up the heavens. Little Su Yang, just do the things a ‘child’ ought to do!”

Hearing these words, Su Yang’s heart was struck once more.

Yes! In this world, where is there some powerful Marquis Su Yang?

What exists now is a mischievous brat of the Su Family.

A reward from the family leader—he dared not decline.

“Perhaps… Family Leader had already seen through my so-called…”

“…rebirth…” Su Yang was filled with emotion and felt a little embarrassed for having spoken cryptically about the cave-world earlier that morning.

Yet his hands still accepted the jade box.

“Many thanks for the family leader’s grace!”

“Hmm? You have some talent in the way of the sword. Seeing how quick-witted you are, there’s no need for you to use a wooden sword anymore. Take this Profound rank weapon, the Xuanyang Sword.”

As he spoke, a trace of cold light flickered in Su Zhou’s hand, and a Profound rank treasure weapon appeared.

“Profound rank treasure weapon!! This is…” Su Yang’s pupils suddenly contracted as he stared at the weapon.

Profound rank treasure weapons were extremely rare—the Su Family had only one.

Even after annexing the Ma and Wang families, the Su Family only had five such treasure weapons in total.

Such a precious weapon, used by the family leader himself, would clearly bring more benefit than giving it to him.

Just as Su Yang was thinking this, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the old man behind Su Zhou.

Just one glance froze him in place—a deeply buried memory surfaced, and his body trembled almost imperceptibly.

“This person… this person…”

He swallowed hard, then respectfully accepted the Profound rank weapon.

“Family leader’s gift—I dare not refuse!” Su Yang said as he received the weapon.

[Ding! Investment successful! Congratulations to host for obtaining Heaven-rank top-grade treasure weapon: Tai’a Sword!]

[Ding! Investment successful! Congratulations to host for obtaining Heaven-rank top-grade Pill: Divine Guard Pill!]

Off to the side, Su Buku saw his cousin receive such rewards, yet instead of a trace of jealousy, he felt sincere joy from the heart.

“Hahahaha!! Brother Yang, look at how much the family leader values you—you must not slack off in the future!”

In Su Buku’s eyes, a member of the Su Family is one of their own. If someone of the family gains benefits, it’s a joyous matter.

Those direct-line family members who schemed against others or harbored jealousy—he considered them worse than beasts.

“You brat!” Su Zhou chuckled and knocked Su Buku lightly on the head.

“Ow!”

Su Buku pretended to cover his forehead, making a pained expression.

But as soon as he recovered, he found a jade box had appeared in his hand.

“This box contains Tranquil Heart Pills. It’s a good thing that you have become aware of your killing intent—but your path is not solely one of slaughter.”

“Buku, there are many roads ahead for you. Don’t think yourself inferior to little Su Yang. Everyone has their own fate. You, as a member of the Su Family, should not be lesser than anyone!”

“Why should you voluntarily resign yourself to being just a supporting leaf?”

Su Zhou looked at his nephew and said softly.

Hearing this, Su Buku was stunned.

The reason he had been so disheartened about Su Yang’s cultivation was not only because he truly didn’t want his younger cousin to waste his talent—

More importantly, his own physique was suited for killing, and the Slaughtering Heaven Secret he cultivated was the same.

Using slaughter to pave the road, taking destruction as the bridge—if he continued on this path, it would be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, full of karmic entanglement.

He could even foresee himself being branded a demon in the future. Su Buku didn’t care personally—but he cared about the word ‘Su’ being shamed because of him.

Therefore, upon seeing Su Yang, he had such a strong urge to help the other grow strong—to be the supporting leaf, to highlight the blossoming flower.

But Su Zhou knew—Su Buku’s special physique had not yet fully awakened.

His words ‘you are not inferior to Su Yang’ were no flattery. Su Yang had a golden destiny, yes—but if Su Buku’s talents were fully awakened, he too would be of golden destiny.

In the end, who would be stronger between the ‘life-burning’ and the ‘pill-popping’ was still uncertain!

“Tranquil Heart Pill will help you remain clear-headed amid slaughter. Buku, you must understand—slaughter is not inherently evil, and guilt is not inherent in action.”

“Buku understands!!” Su Buku felt the family leader’s expectations and subconsciously tightened his grip on the jade box.

His left eye seemed to blaze with a trace of blood-red flame—sinister and bewitching.

While in his right eye, a lotus bud seemed ready to bloom—lonely, yet filled with mercy.

[Ding! Investment successful! Congratulations to host for obtaining Heaven-rank top-grade Pill: Soul Reflection Pill!]

“All right. Since I came out of seclusion, I’ve yet to give you two a proper lesson. Today is a good opportunity.”

Su Zhou smiled at the two of them, then narrowed his eyes slightly. Within his pitch-black pupils, a sharp gleam exploded.

He brought two fingers together to form a sword gesture, then drew crisscrossing lines in the air.

Swish!!

Swish!! Swish!!!

A brilliant and endlessly ancient sword intent suddenly erupted out of thin air.

“Still enjoying the show?” Su Zhou’s voice was icy cold.

The sword intent was ethereal, yet murderous aura soared to the heavens. Su Zhou pointed his sword-fingers toward a spot in the air.

The next moment—

Puff!

It was as if something was pierced—above a corner of the Su residence, a smear of crimson light flashed, then disappeared.

And in the depths of the void, a faint and miserable scream echoed.
