The Eternal battle

After Shi Tu left, the atmosphere became a little awkward for several reasons, eventually Long Tian and Long Bai stood up and left in frustration because they simply couldn't look into Mu Ruyan's face after what she had said about them.

Then Mu Ruyan also left, leaving Feng Xiaoxiao to talk to her father because these things should not be done in the presence of strangers.

After some silence, Su Taipeng made his decision and said

"Xiaoxiao, this Shi Tu is not a good person at all. You have to get away from him before it's too late."

Su Taipeng looked a little awkward saying this, even though he was trying to force Feng Xiaoxiao to marry a little while ago.

Feng Xiaoxiao's face frowned and her disappointment towards her father grew.

Usually she would leave immediately and sever her relationship with her father without thinking, but after all that she went through today, she learned not to judge things recklessly.

Although Feng Xiaoxiao does not bear Su's name, but rather Feng from her mother, her father treated her as the most valuable thing he owned, and it is unreasonable for his behavior to shift so quickly, so there must be a convincing reason.

"Why? Even when you, my father, tried to sell me for the sake of the family's interests, he was the one who kept his words to the end and helped me, although it is a mission from the Bull army, but he did not hesitate to help. I accompanied him for only half a day, but I saw enough of him to understand his personality."

"Do you understand his personality?"

Su Taipeng couldn't help but smile helplessly in front of his daughter's gullibility

Did she think that understanding Shi Tu is that simple? How many times did people think they understood him but he just knocked all their alleged knowledge off the wall?

Seeing that his daughter would rather trust a strange man than her father, Su Taipeng felt pain in his heart, since the connection with Long Bai was no longer possible and it was clear that his daughter would not listen easily, he had no choice but to explain the situation to her.

Su Taipeng told her everything he knew about Shi Tu's actions, from Lin Chenshui and his cooperation with the Sun Family and the three bodies found in the morning.

From all of Shi Tu's previous actions he could confidently say that Shi Tu used Lin Chenshui as bait for some purpose due to the attack he had been subjected to and the fact that he had dragged them into a conflict with the Lu family due to Su Fei being involved in the matter which benefited the Sun family which sent Sun Jie to Shi residence. 

But this morning, Shi's residence was burned down and three suspected bodies of Shi Tu, Sun Jie and Alice were found, even Shi Economic Group went bankrupt.

Despite all this, how is Shi Tu still indifferent? Considering that what he said is correct and that he is the former coach and the founder of the Bull Army, this means that all theories that say that he is just a puppet and an interface are completely wrong.

But the most important thing is Shi Tu's strange mystery, with all the capabilities of the three great families it is strange that every report they get about Shi Tu turns out to be completely wrong afterwards, this means that he just completely manipulates them and the most frightening is that Shi Tu's goal in all this is unknown. 

Feng Xiaoxiao listened calmly to her father's explanation and analyzed everything she heard.

From her short experience with Shi Tu she is absolutely sure that Shi Tu is adept at manipulating others into doing what he wants and this ability to manipulate people is highly dangerous.

But in general, Shi Tu could not be considered a really bad person from Feng Xiaoxiao's point of view, at least he did not treat her badly, but that does not mean that what he is doing for her is different from what he did with Lin Chenshui.

According to what her father said, Shi Tu used his body to block a bullet for her but eventually abandoned her, which she had difficulty believing, and wanted to think that it was just a misunderstanding as happened with her, as long as Shi Tu was not asked directly, he is lazy to explain himself.

"I understand what you are saying and he is really suspicious, but in this case, why did you not act against him alongside Long Tian? From your previous behavior, you do not seem to oppose him but support him."

If everything Su Taipeng said was correct, Su Taipeng should have been fiercely opposed him instead of enjoying the show.

Su Taipeng looked a bit helpless and said, "You know very well that I have a good relationship with Su Fei's father, even though he is not from the main line but we are close, so of course I want to deal with Shi Tu but I cannot because of the ancestral orders."

"Ancestor? You wouldn't tell me that we have an ancestor that's been still alive for more than a hundred years, right?"

Su Taipeng felt more helpless upon seeing the glaring doubt in Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes but he couldn't do anything because it really was implausible.

"Not for a hundred years", Su Taipeng faintly responded as if he was unwilling to reveal these things but had to persuade Feng Xiaoxiao.

Such secrets can never be revealed to women because they will one day leave the family and their loyalty can never be guaranteed after this.

But between the rules and the safety of his daughter, Su Taipeng chose his daughter's safety, as long as Feng Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, who would know that he told her this secret?

"In fact, our ancestor is over three hundred years old and is the founder of our Su family."

It didn't seem her dad was lying and if he wanted to lie to her he could come up with a better lie than this so she listened quietly to the end.

"More than three hundred years ago, the ancestor met a great person, and after events unknown to us, our ancestor became a follower of this great person, and with his help our family became what it is now, just as the ancestor was able to live for a long time by the means of that great person, but he is usually in isolation and does not interfere in the family's affairs." 

"But this morning the ancestor came out of his isolation and ordered us to prepare for a great war, for this reason we started gathering allies, and it seems that the matter is really serious because the Sun and Lu families are also preparing like us."

"That's why you wanted to sell me in order to form an alliance with the Long Family and get their support? But that doesn't explain your behavior with Shi Tu."

"Xiaoxiao, I still haven't finished talking so don't hurry."

Su Taipeng said, "It is not that I want to sell you, but the words of the ancestor are very clear. What is coming is a war that will lead to the demise of the Su family completely if we are defeated. In front of the existence of the whole family, personal desires do not mean anything, even if I do not do this, you will be forced later and even threatened you by killing me because You have great talent and can use you to get a strong ally, luckily I have had previous conversations with the Long family, if you are going to be forced anyway then it is better to choose a good person who will treat you well and Long Bai is a good candidate. "

Su Taipeng hesitated a little because what he would say next could cause misunderstanding between them.

"The ancestor had another order, which is that we should never oppose this Shi Tu, even if our family members were killed and robbed, we should just endure silently, and we should never try to get close to him, of course, it would be different if he first took the initiative to approach us, and anyone provoked Shi Tu The ancestor would kill everyone in his branch personally. "

"So, you didn't dare go against Shi Tu?"

Su Taipeng was worried that Feng Xiaoxiao would think that he was lying and wanted to use her to get close to Shi Tu, luckily there was no misunderstanding and Feng Xiaoxiao realized what he meant, if he had wanted to use her to get close to him he wouldn't have asked her to turn away from him.

Only, it's hard for her to accept the fact that someone can live for more than three hundred years, after all, that's supernatural and usually impossible to happen.

More than this, what kind of person was able to help the ancestor to live this long?

This world lacks the myths of gods and immortals, so Feng Xiaoxiao really had no idea what was going on.

Usually Feng Xiaoxiao wouldn't think about it so calmly and would have considered something strange like this as nonsense, but because of Shi Tu, she did not reject what she heard directly even though it was completely strange.

Assuming what Su Taipeng said is true, this means that Shi Tu is a mysterious and powerful person with wide influence, and his goals and intentions are unknown so it would be unwise to get involved with him in any way.

Even so, she thinks Shi Tu does not intend to do anything bad to her as she has no way to resist.

For some reason, Feng Xiaoxiao remembered the story of the genius that Shi Tu had told her, thinking of being able to anticipate everyone's actions with great accuracy, Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but believe that everything went as Shi Tu wanted.

Did he know from the start that this would happen? Can she escape? Feng Xiaoxiao remembered when Shi Tu said he had chosen her and for some reason it felt like she was playing in Shi Tu's hands all the time but that wasn't a bad feeling.

Feng Xiaoxiao felt resigned and said, "It's okay, Dad, I am a member of the Su family, and it is my duty to sacrifice for the family after everything you give me."

Su Taipeng panicked because Feng Xiaoxiao had misunderstood and said hastily, "Xiaoxiao, I didn't tell you all this to ask you to sacrifice for the sake of the family, I just want you to stay away from Shi Tu, this person is very dangerous."

Feng Xiaoxiao felt warm upon seeing her father's anxiety but said helplessly.

"Not that I want to, but I cannot escape from his hands."

Feng Xiaoxiao is completely convinced that everything is going according to Shi Tu's will so she just has to ask Shi Tu about what he wants from her and she is sure he will tell her honestly.
