BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 101: Investigation 

Mu Chen's heart sank.

They're really here for that old man!

Suppressing his unease, Mu Chen remained composed.

"Oh, Luo Qianchen? That name, I've never heard of it."

Su Yun observed Mu Chen's expression.

Couldn't read anything.

"Sorry for the interruption."

Beside him, Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with surprise. They're leaving just like that?

Mu Chen was also puzzled but felt relieved nonetheless.

Su Yun exchanged a glance with Hai Bodong.

The two left, leaving Mu Chen scratching his head in bewilderment.

They landed on the ground.

"Are we just going to leave like this?" Hai Bodong couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not. Hai, you go back first. I'll investigate at the Mu Family."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong looked puzzled.

"Why don't we investigate together?"

"No, your stealth abilities aren't strong. With my current strength, unless it's a Dou Emperor, no one can catch me. There won't be any danger."

Hai Bodong had to relent.

"Be careful then."

After Hai Bodong left, Su Yun activated his Dou Qi, gradually suppressing his aura until he disappeared, utilizing the Phantom Step, a mid-level Xuan-tier martial skill.

Although the Phantom Step was only a mid-level Xuan-tier martial skill, its practicality was extremely high.

With the shadowy steps, Su Yun returned to the Mu Family, sneaking in and arriving at the main hall.

Nobody was there.

Mu Chen seemed to have disappeared.

Su Yun squinted his eyes, his soul power extending out, stealthily investigating the Mu Family.

With his mortal realm soul power, it didn't take long for Su Yun to locate Mu Chen and several guards, discussing something in a secluded corner.

Su Yun made a decisive move, heading straight for them.

"That little brat must have some connection with that sixth-grade alchemist."

Mu Chen's face showed a hint of a headache.

Although he didn't know why that Master Zhang left so quickly, it was clear he had some interaction with that girl.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought the Ice Emperor to their Mu Family.

"Master, what should we do now? That little brat should already be under the protection of the Miteer Family and has some relationship with that sixth-grade alchemist. If he finds out about what we did, will he come looking for trouble with our Mu Family?"

Mu Chen pondered for a moment.

"We only know that the little brat has some connection with Master Zhang, but the extent of their relationship is unclear. Even if he wants to defend them, it shouldn't pose a significant problem. While our Mu Family is just a family power, we have deep roots in the military. If he wants to make a move against our Mu Family, the royal family won't sit idly by. The royal family won't tolerate the Miteer Family's expansion."

With this thought, Mu Chen felt more confident.

"The immediate priority is to find out the extent of their relationship. Go, investigate this matter. Remember, don't alert anyone else, and don't use the power within the family. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

"Got it!"

Su Yun, hidden nearby, quietly observed the scene.

Previously, Luo Qianyun only mentioned that Luo Qianchen was in the Mu Family's hands, but he couldn't determine if there was any connection with Mu Chen.

That's why he quickly left and returned covertly to investigate.

Now, hearing this conversation, everything became clear.

Su Yun's eyes turned cold as he pondered how to rescue Luo Qianchen.

Mu Chen must know Luo Qianchen's whereabouts.

But he was, after all, a Dou King powerhouse.

With Su Yun's current strength, dealing with him directly wouldn't be difficult, and he could even kill him in a short time.

However, causing a commotion here, especially in the Mu Family, would attract others immediately.

Although he wasn't afraid, it contradicted his original intention to rescue Luo Qianchen.

Su Yun looked at the guards.

The strongest among them was only a four-star Dou Spirit strength.

With his strength, he could easily knock them out with one blow.

That made things easier.

After the guards and Mu Chen parted ways, Su Yun silently followed them.

"We'll split up to investigate. After all, this matter involves events from decades ago. If the elders in the family find out, it may shake the family leader's position. So, we must be discreet. Understood?"

The Dou Spirit guard instructed the others.

"Yes."

The guards nodded.

"Those two girls have guards from the Miteer Family with them, so the direction of the investigation is clear. Bribe the members of the Miteer Family, inquire with the residents near the Miteer Family. You should know how to do it without my instructions."

After giving a brief explanation, the Dou Spirit guard dismissed them to gather information.

The Dou Spirit guard contemplated for a moment before heading in one direction.

The old man's body hadn't been dealt with yet, so it had to be disposed of.

Alone.

Su Yun quietly watched the Dou Spirit guard, slowly approaching him.

The guard walked along the road, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Suddenly, a large hand reached for his neck!

The guard's pupils contracted, and his Dou Qi instinctively surged as he tried to retreat.

But Su Yun's speed was astonishing, and being a Sixth-Rank Martial Spirit, there was no way he could evade.

The large hand firmly grabbed his neck, exerting slight pressure.

A sense of suffocation filled his mind, and the guard desperately tried to break free, but to no avail.

"What terrifying strength."

Su Yun's figure materialized, slightly increasing the pressure on the guard's neck.

With a struggling gaze, the guard looked at Su Yun's youthful face.

It's that Sixth-Grade Alchemist!

A hint of disbelief flashed in the guard's eyes. Didn't he leave?!

Su Yun had no intention of prolonging the confrontation, using his left elbow to knock out the guard.

The entire process was silent.

"System, scan his memory."

"Ding, scan complete."

"Retrieve."

"Ding, retrieval successful."

Su Yun looked at the guard, contemplating for a moment. Instead of killing him immediately, he placed him into the system space.

Everything within the system space was under his control.

The principle behind it was that he could control everything in the system space, keeping it in a state of complete stillness.

In other words, anyone or anything placed into the system space could be manipulated by him.

Similarly, the system space was also a vast prison!

This person was no longer useful, and it wasn't feasible to return him to the Mu Family.

But Luo Qianchen was on the brink of a mental breakdown. Handing him over to her might make her feel better.

With a thought, Su Yun entered the system space.

"System, materialize his memory."

"Ding, materialization successful."
