Great Zhou, Lingnan Commandery, Qingcheng City.

Inside a hall within a garden-like estate.

Su Chen looked at the several people standing before him with a very displeased expression.

These people included elderly men and burly middle-aged men.

They all exuded a faint but powerful aura.

It was clear their strength was not weak.

"Young Master, the previous Tower Lord has died. We ask you to succeed him as the Tower Lord of Lingnan's Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower."

One of the elders, with a somewhat white beard, spoke.

The elder wore a grey robe. Though his appearance was aged, his aura was powerful.

He was the strongest among these people.

He was also Ling Tianhe, the Deputy Tower Master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, with strength in the middle stage of Xiantian.

As for Su Chen, he was the sole heir of the former楼主 of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, Su Mengbai.

The reason for asking Su Chen to succeed as the master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower was simple.

It was not only because Su Chen was the son of the former楼主.

He was also a disciple of the Mountain River Sect, one of the ten great sects in Lingnan Commandery of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If he didn't take over the position of sect leader, who else was suitable?

However, Su Chen had no desire to become the master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

The Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower was one of the five major powers in the remote Qingcheng City of Lingnan Commandery.

His father, Su Mengbai, who was at the peak of Xiantian, had died inexplicably a few days ago.

From any perspective, this matter involved many complexities.

If he were to take over the position of楼主, he would undoubtedly face danger.

Of course, the main reason was that his own strength was too weak.

He couldn't hold the position of forum administrator.

It would be better to return to the Mountain River Sect; it was safer.

He just needed to take something back with him.

The current Su Chen was both Su Chen and, in a sense, not Su Chen.

A while ago, Su Chen returned from the Mountain River Sect. As soon as he got home, he learned of his father's death.

His eyes immediately went black, and he breathed his last.

Su Chen, who had transmigrated from Earth, occupied his consciousness.

Although he occupied his consciousness, Su Chen only obtained some fragmented memories from the original owner.

Within these memories.

The reason he returned to Qingcheng City was to ask his father for help.

He had offended a disciple of an elder on a peak within the Mountain River Sect. He had promised to pay the other party a sum of money to let him off the hook.

So, he returned to the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower to find his father.

But now, with his father dead and the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower under the management of Deputy Tower Lord Ling Tianhe, he couldn't get that large sum of money.

If he returned to the Mountain River Sect now without paying, he would surely be in trouble.

But if he became the master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, he would probably die very quickly.

Moreover, with these subordinates, did they truly accept him as the楼主?

It was certainly impossible.

Even Deputy Pavilion Master Ling Tianhe himself was probably unwilling.

His own strength hadn't even reached Xiantian, while the other was in the middle stage, about to reach the late stage of Xiantian.

There was a significant gap in strength.

How could he be willing to let Su Chen become the sect leader?

"Young Master, you are the sect leader's son. Only you can inherit the position of sect leader. Please take your place as sect leader today."

As Ling Tianhe spoke.

He stepped forward and grabbed Su Chen, placing him on the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's master's seat.

Then, he immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, OP!"

Following his prostration, the group of people behind him immediately knelt down as well.

Su Chen was dumbfounded, never expecting such a move.

How could these people be so shameless.

At this moment, a circular roulette appeared in Su Chen's sea of consciousness.

[Become the Master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, obtain the character Invincible Divine Blade Bai Tianyu, Ice Qilin Arm, and 3 White Lucky Draw Cards.]

"This!"

Su Chen was startled.

He hadn't expected his golden finger to be activated at this time.

Ever since he transmigrated, he had been thinking about getting a golden finger, but none had appeared.

Now, he had triggered his golden finger and received rewards.

The character Invincible Divine Blade Bai Tianyu, and the Ice Qilin Arm.

At this moment, Su Chen found a roulette in his sea of consciousness. The roulette was divided into 5 sections, each with a color: white, blue, orange, purple, and gold.

The white section displayed the number 3.

These should be the 3 White Lucky Draw Cards he just obtained. His consciousness shifted to the blue area, and a message appeared in his mind: 10 White Lucky Draw Cards can be fused into 1 Blue Lucky Draw Card.

His consciousness shifted to the orange area, and he found no prompt information.

This area had not been unlocked yet.

Afterward, Su Chen checked the status of Invincible Divine Blade Bai Tianyu.

[Bai Tianyu] is a character from [The Young Vagabond], the hall master of the Divine Blade Hall, Strength: Refining Soul Realm early stage.

Seeing this information, Su Chen's face showed a look of astonishment.

Refining Soul early stage.

The sect leader of the Mountain River Sect, one of the top ten powers in Lingnan Commandery, was only at the Refining Soul Realm. He didn't know the specific level of his Refining Soul Realm.

Therefore, Bai Tianyu could be considered a powerful figure.

With someone of this strength protecting him.

He could completely run rampant in Qingcheng City.

At this moment, Su Chen was secretly overjoyed and directly summoned him, having him protect him from the shadows.

As soon as you harbor any killing intent, I'll end you with a single blade.

Ling Tianhe, who was kneeling below, saw the astonished look on Su Chen's face and revealed a cold smile.

Although Su Chen's face showed astonishment, he still noticed Ling Tianhe's expression.

"After this period passes, I'll kill you."

He thought to himself.

Why didn't he become the master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower himself?

The main reason was that he knew something about the cause of Su Mengbai's death.

Because he knew, he didn't dare to become the master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower himself.

He didn't want to die an untimely death like Su Mengbai.

His own strength was not even as good as Su Mengbai's.

After the kowtow.

Ling Tianhe stood up.

"Everyone, the young master inheriting the position of master today is a joyous occasion, and we should spread this news."

The poster needs some time to adapt, so let's leave the poster alone here to have some quiet time.

Ling Tianhe said as he stood up.

"Host, we will take our leave first. You can take some time to adjust."

Without waiting for Su Chen's command.

The group of people left the hall, leaving Su Chen alone.

"This!"

Su Chen looked at the departing figures of Ling Tianhe and his men. His eyes were first astonished, but then a cold glint appeared.

"They are truly treating me as a puppet and a shield, and not even trying to hide it."

"Spreading the news of my succession, are they afraid others won't know?"

"You're probably trying to test if the person who attacked Su Mengbai will also target me."

"If the other party doesn't make a move, you'll make one too, won't you!"

Su Chen's heart grew cold.

However, he couldn't do anything to them before, but now he had obtained the character Invincible Divine Blade Bai Tianyu and the Ice Qilin Arm.

With such means, killing you should not be difficult.

[Trigger Quest: Investigate the cause of death of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's Master, help your predecessor get revenge, and obtain 3 White Lottery Cards.]

"3 White Lottery Cards."

Su Chen squinted his eyes as he looked at the information on the quest scroll.

He currently had 3 White Lottery Cards, and with another 3, he would have 6. If he triggered a few more quests later.

Gathering 10 cards should not be a problem.

As for investigating the cause of death of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's master.

Whether there was a quest or not, Su Chen was going to investigate.

The person who killed the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's master, and now he had taken over as the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's master.

The next one to die might be himself.

What's more, the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light.

He didn't want to die an untimely death like his father, whom he had never even met.

Thinking of this.

Su Chen got down from his seat.

He walked towards the backyard of the main hall.

He wanted to ask his cheap second mother about the cause of his father's death.

Su Chen's own mother had passed away long ago, and the current Madam Su Mengbai was not Su Chen's biological mother.

Su Chen had always called her Second Madam before.

The backyard of the mansion.

In a two-story building.

A beautiful woman sat on the upper floor of the pavilion, a hint of melancholy on her face, giving people a feeling of pity.

It was the Second Madam Su Chen mentioned, named Shangguan Ziyun.

"Su Chen has become the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower Master?"

Shangguan Ziyun asked a maidservant beside her.

The events in the front hall had just happened, and she already knew the news here, which showed that Shangguan Ziyun had been paying close attention to the situation in the front hall.

"Just now, news came from the front hall that Young Master Su has been recommended as the Sect Master by Deputy Sect Master Ling and the others."

A little maidservant beside her replied.

"Deputy楼主 Ling is truly cunning, trying to make Su Chen a scapegoat!"

"Have you found out the cause of Su Mengbai's death?"

Shangguan Ziyun continued to ask.

She did not call Su Mengbai "Master" or "Husband" but directly addressed him by his name, which seemed very strange.
