Chaotic Sword Emperor-Chapter 34 – Huang Junrou's message

Instructors from the first four divisions could never fathom the extent of Su Mu's influence among the youth of Anqing City!
The new student didn't bother with formalities and walked straight up to Su Mu, greeting him with a friendly fist-and-palm salute.
Su Mu smiled, then glanced at the instructors from the first four divisions. It seemed his appeal was still strong; this time, their recruitment was doomed to fail.
"Welcome to the fifth division!" Tian Yuyue beamed with joy. The harvest was huge this time, and it was all thanks to Su Mu.
"I also wish to join the fifth division with Su Mu."
"I want to join the fifth division with Su Mu too!"
"I also wish to join with Su Mu..."
***
One by one, the new students all joined the fifth division. Out of over thirty new students, only twelve joined the first four divisions. On average, each division only got three students!
The rest all flocked to the fifth division because of Su Mu, marking the worst recruitment in the history of the first four divisions!
The instructors from the first four divisions were nearly driven mad with rage, their hatred for Su Mu seething to the bone!
Then there was Tian Yuyue, who was grinning from ear to ear, almost making the instructors explode on the spot with anger!
"Su Mu, thank you." Tian Yuyue whispered her thanks to Su Mu. This time, the fifth division had recruited twenty-three new students, and with Su Mu and another, that made twenty-five!
This was an unprecedented bountiful harvest for the fifth division!
Su Mu was truly their benefactor!
Su Mu just smiled and said nothing. If he had to say anything, it was that those who chose to follow him to the fifth division today would certainly not regret it in the future!
"All new students joining the Martial House, you now have a quarter of an hour to say goodbye to your families!" This announcement was supposed to be made by an instructor from the first division, but Tian Yuyue declared it instead. The first division instructor could only suppress his displeasure, given Tian Yuyue's success in recruitment.
All the new students began to bid farewell to their relatives and friends. Su Mu turned and walked over to the Grand Elder.
"Young Master!" Little Qin jumped up, her face beaming with joy as she looked at Su Mu.
Su Mu affectionately patted Little Qin's head. She had been watching from below, and he had noticed.
"Grand Elder, Little Qin, take good care of yourselves after I leave. The clan is counting on you." Su Mu took a deep breath and said. After eliminating the cancer that was Su Mocheng and his direct lineage, the clan had returned to its original state.
"Don't worry, I'm still in good health. Go to the Martial House with peace of mind!" The Grand Elder patted his chest and grinned, his eyes filled with satisfaction for Su Mu.
Elsewhere, Huang Yiyun was saying goodbye to her father. Huang Shiren glanced at Su Mu with a mix of surprise and resignation, sighed, and approached him.
"Su Mu."
Su Mu turned to him: "Uncle, do you have any instructions?"
"Yiyun is joining the Martial House with you. She can be a bit willful and headstrong, so please take good care of her." Huang Shiren looked deeply at Su Mu, hoping he would understand the underlying message.
"Rest assured, Uncle. I will take good care of Yiyun." Su Mu replied with a calm smile. He didn't overthink it; in his eyes, Huang Yiyun had always been like a younger sister.
Huang Shiren frowned, unsure whether Su Mu was truly oblivious or pretending to be. Shaking his head in resignation, he thought about his two daughters joining the Martial House. He couldn't control them anymore. Let it be.
"Alright, take good care of yourself too. I entrust Yiyun to you." Huang Shiren sighed, patted Su Mu's shoulder, and returned to his daughter. After speaking with her for a moment, he handed her some items.
A quarter of an hour passed.
All the new students had said their goodbyes to their families and left with the Martial House.
"Giddy up!"
Everyone rode horses out of Anqing City. Beasts as mounts were not something everyone could possess. Taming a beast as a mount was extremely difficult, even the Martial House might not manage it.
On the road, Su Mu could feel the hostile glares from the instructors of the first four divisions, but he ignored them. They wouldn't dare to act, and he was focused on studying the Lawless Sword Trick and Sword Intent.
"Sword Intent is just a beginning, far from mastery. Once truly mastered, Su Mocheng and his son wouldn't even leave dust behind!"
"The third move of the Lawless Sword Trick is not fully controlled either. The power I've used before is less than a tenth of its true potential. More practice is needed."
Su Mu's eyes sharpened as he looked in the direction of the Martial House. To fully master Sword Intent and integrate the third move of the Lawless Sword Trick, he needed constant battle!
Whether it was Sword Intent or the Celestial Rank Battle Technique, their true power was beyond imagination!
"Giddy up!"
After setting his cultivation goals, Su Mu spurred his horse to catch up with Tian Yuyue.
"Instructor Yueyue."
Tian Yuyue glanced sideways and pulled the reins, slowing down.
"What is it?" Tian Yuyue looked after Su Mu like an elder sister. Before setting off, she had also told him her name.
"Instructor Yueyue, my fiancée is said to have joined the Martial House. Do you know where she is now?" Su Mu asked directly, eager to know.
"You already have a fiancée?" Tian Yuyue looked at Su Mu in surprise. So young and already planning to marry? Although not unusual, the more talented individuals often didn't rush into marriage. Su Mu was only in his teens, truly an exception.
"What's your fiancée's name?"
"Huang Junrou."
"Huang Junrou?" Tian Yuyue's face showed recollection. At this, Huang Yiyun also caught up, her face full of anticipation. Her sister's abduction by a Martial House powerhouse had been confirmed, but who had taken her and where remained unknown.
Seeing Tian Yuyue furrowing her brows in deep thought, Su Mu and Huang Yiyun grew anxious.
"Huang Junrou... You don't mean the madwoman saved by the House Master twenty days ago, do you?" Tian Yuyue glanced at Huang Yiyun, realizing the connection, and exclaimed.
The House Master? Both Su Mu and Huang Yiyun couldn't help but gasp in their hearts. If Junrou had been saved by the Martial House Master, then there was no need to worry about her safety.
"However, she's not currently in the Martial House. Her condition is quite serious, and the House Master has taken her out to seek a cure." Seeing their excitement, Tian Yuyue continued and shook her head with a sigh. As a woman, she couldn't help but feel pity and sorrow for Huang Junrou's plight.
"When will the House Master bring Junrou back? Where are they now?" Su Mu asked urgently, desperate for accurate information so he could find Huang Junrou.
"You really care deeply for her. She would be very happy to know." Tian Yuyue smiled, admiring Su Mu's devotion.
"But rest assured, the House Master will surely cure your fiancée. As for how long it will take, maybe a month at the least, or half a year at most."
Su Mu frowned. The timeline was longer than he expected, but now all he could do was wait.
"Su Mu, why did your fiancée end up like that?" Tian Yuyue asked curiously. How did such a beautiful and talented woman become so deranged?
Su Mu remained silent, his mood instantly heavy with heartache and rage.
Now, he felt that Su Mocheng and his son had died too easily. They should have been cut a thousand times over!
Seeing Su Mu's grim expression, Tian Yuyue shook her head and didn't press further. Instead, she encouraged him, "Su Mu, you must work hard in your cultivation. Defy the heavens to change your fate and protect your lady. Don't let her be harmed again."
"I will, I definitely will." Su Mu's eyes were resolute as he looked towards the Martial House.
"Junrou, I'm coming for you. From now on, I will let no one harm you. I will protect you with my life!"
"Wait for me, wait for me!"
