Great Zhou, Lingnan Prefecture, Qing City.
In a garden-like manor, inside the main hall.
Su Chen looked at the several people standing before him with a very bad expression.
Among these people were elderly Old Men and middle-aged strong men.
A faint yet powerful aura emanated from them.
It was clear that these people were not weak in strength.
"Young Lord, the Lord has passed away, please take over the position of Lord of the Lingnan Golden Wind Drizzle Tower."
One of the Old Men with a white beard spoke.
The Old Man wore a gray robe; although he looked somewhat old, his aura was very strong.
He was the strongest person among them.
He was also the Vice-Leader Ling Tianhe of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, his strength at the Congenital Mid-stage.
And Su Chen was the only descendant of the previous Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, Su Mengzhen.
As for why Su Chen was asked to take over the position of Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower.
That was because Su Chen was not only the son of the previous Lord.
He was also a Disciple of the Shanhe Sect, one of the ten major sects in the Lingnan Prefecture of the Great Chu Dynasty.
If he didn't take over the position of Lord, who would be suitable?
But Su Chen was unwilling to become the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower.
The Golden Wind Drizzle Tower was one of the five major forces in the remote Qing City of Lingnan Prefecture.
His Father, Su Mengzhen, whose strength was at the Innate Peak, had died inexplicably a few days ago.
From any perspective, there were many things involved in this.
If he were to take over the position of Lord, he would definitely encounter danger.
Of course, the main reason was that his strength was too weak.
Unable to hold the position of Lord.
It's better to return to the Shanhe Sect, it's safe.
It's just that he needed to take something back with him.
The current Su Chen was both Su Chen and, arguably, not Su Chen.
Some time ago, Su Chen returned from the Shanhe Sect, and upon arriving home, learned of his Father's death.
Immediately, his vision went black, and he passed away.
Su Chen, who had transmigrated from Earth, took over his consciousness.
Although he had taken over the consciousness, Su Chen only received some fragmented memories from the original owner.
Among these memories.
The reason for his return to Qing City was to ask his Father for help.
He had offended a Disciple of a Peak Elder within the Shanhe Sect and promised to give the other party a sum of money to let him off.
So he returned to the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower to find his Father.
But now that his Father was dead and the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower was controlled by Vice-Leader Ling Tianhe, he couldn't get that large sum of money at all.
Now, if he returned to the Shanhe Sect without paying the money, he would definitely be in trouble.
But if he became the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, he would likely die very quickly.
Furthermore, would this group of people under him truly be convinced of him becoming the Lord?
Definitely not possible.
Just this Vice-Leader Ling Tianhe, he probably wasn't happy about it in his heart.
His own strength hadn't even entered the Congenital realm, while the other party was in the Mid-stage, about to enter the Late Stage of Congenital.
There was a significant difference in strength.
How could he be willing to let him become the Lord?
"Young Lord, you are the son of the Lord, only you can inherit the position of Lord. Today, we ask the Lord to take his seat."
As Ling Tianhe spoke.
He stepped forward, grabbed Su Chen, and placed Su Chen in the position of Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower.
Then he immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Under his kowtow, the group of people behind him immediately followed suit and knelt down.
Su Chen was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a move.
How could this group of people be so shameless?
At this moment, a circular roulette appeared in Su Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
【Become the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, obtain the character Divine Blade Invincible Bai Tianyu, Ice Qilin Arm, and 3 White Draw Cards.】
"This!"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect his Golden Finger to be activated at this moment.
Since transmigrating, he had been thinking about getting a Golden Finger, but it just hadn't appeared.
Now, his Golden Finger was triggered, and he received rewards.
The character Divine Blade Invincible Bai Tianyu, Ice Qilin Arm.
At this time, Su Chen discovered a roulette wheel in his Sea of Consciousness, divided into 5 sections, each section displaying one of five colors: white, blue, orange, purple, and gold.
The data displayed on the white section was 3 cards.
It should be the 3 White Draw Cards he just obtained. As his consciousness moved to the blue area, a piece of information appeared in his mind: 10 White Draw Cards can be fused into 1 Blue Draw Card.
When his consciousness moved to the orange area, he found no prompt information.
This meant it hadn't been unlocked yet.
Looking at Su Chen sitting in the Lord's position with a bewildered expression.
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of Ling Tianhe, who was kneeling below.
"Once this period of crisis passes, if you're still alive, I'll kill you."
He thought to himself.
Why didn't he become the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower himself?
The main reason was that he knew something about the cause of Su Mengzhen's death.
Because he knew, he didn't dare to become the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower himself.
He didn't want to die a violent death like Su Mengzhen.
His own strength was not as good as Su Mengzhen's.
After kneeling.
Ling Tianhe stood up.
"Everyone, the Young Lord's inheritance of the Lord's position today is a joyous occasion. We should spread this news."
"The Lord still needs time to adapt, so let's leave the Lord alone here for a while."
The standing Ling Tianhe said.
"Lord, we shall leave first. Please take some time to adjust."
Without waiting for Su Chen's instructions.
This group of people all left the main hall, leaving only Su Chen alone.
"This!"
Su Chen looked at the retreating figures of Ling Tianhe and the others, his eyes first showing bewilderment, but then a cold light emerged.
"They are truly treating me as a Puppet and a shield, and they're not even trying to hide it."
"Spreading the news of my succession, are they afraid others won't know?"
"I guess you're trying to test if the person who attacked Su Mengzhen will make a move on me."
"If the other party doesn't make a move, you will, won't you!"
Su Chen said coldly in his heart.
However, he couldn't do anything about them before, but now he had obtained the character Divine Blade Invincible Bai Tianyu and the Ice Qilin Arm.
He could crush these people at any time.
【Triggered Mission: Investigate the cause of death of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower Lord, help the original body get revenge, and obtain 3 White Draw Cards.】
"3 White Draw Cards."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the information on the mission scroll.
Now he had 3 White Draw Cards in his hand, getting 3 more would make it 6, and then triggering some other missions later.
Gathering 10 cards shouldn't be a big problem.
As for investigating the cause of death of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower Lord.
Regardless of whether a mission was issued or not, Su Chen had to investigate.
The other party killed the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower, and he took over the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower.
The next one to die might be himself.
What's more, the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the open.
He didn't want to die a violent death like his old man whom he hadn't even met.
Thinking of this.
Su Chen got down from the seat.
He walked towards the back courtyard of the main hall.
He wanted to find his cheap Second Mother and ask what the cause of his Father's death was.
Su Chen's own mother had passed away very early. Now, Su Mengzhen's Madam was not Su Chen's biological mother.
Su Chen had always called the other party Second Mother before.
The back courtyard of the manor.
Inside a two-story building.
A beautiful woman with a sad expression sat gracefully on the balcony, giving off a feeling of being pitifully charming.
It was precisely the Second Madam Su Chen spoke of, named Shangguan Ziyun.
"Su Chen has become the Lord of the Golden Wind Drizzle Tower?"
Shangguan Ziyun asked a maidservant beside her.
The matter in the front hall had just happened, and the news was already known here, showing that Shangguan Ziyun had been paying attention to the situation in the front hall.
"News just came from the front hall that Young Master Su has been nominated by Vice-Leader Ling and the others to become the Lord."
A young maidservant beside her said.
"This Vice-Leader Ling is truly cunning and treacherous, thinking of making Su Chen a scapegoat!"
"Have you found out the cause of Su Mengzhen's death?"
That Shangguan Ziyun continued to ask.
The fact that she didn't call Su Mengzhen 'Old Master' or 'Husband' but instead called him by his name seemed very strange.
