Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 299: Chapter 298 Return of Ye Jiansheng

The wedding banquet ended amidst warm blessings. There were many tables set up at the venue, and Su Yang merely strolled by each table briefly. However, the bigwigs present didn’t feel slighted in the least; on the contrary, they were excited and elated for the opportunity to show their faces in front of Su Yang.

Who else in Pingnan Province would dare to show disrespect to a Su Yang who could even influence the Ten Great Families?

The Xue Family might as well have been brought down by Su Yang, and the Xie Family was basically the same.

In the Ten Great Families, two families had been brought down by Su Yang. Could this not be shocking?

Having admitted the Hou Family into the Ten Great Families and having brought down the candidate families, the Hong Family and Zhao Family, Su Yang’s fame had long spread throughout Pingnan Province!

Most of the bigwigs who came to attend the wedding didn’t actually know Su Yang, and hadn’t even met him before. They had pushed aside all important matters and traveled long distances just to familiarize their faces with Su Yang.

No doubt, in the future, Su Yang was bound to be a towering figure in Pingnan Province. Who wouldn’t want to establish a good relationship with such a person as soon as possible?

Even if they couldn’t establish a good relationship, at least they wanted to get closer. They couldn’t become friends, but they couldn’t afford to become enemies either—that was the common thought among everyone!

In the afternoon, people started leaving one after another, and the venue finally returned to tranquility.

Zhao Xuefen’s aunts and uncles remained, however. They all followed behind Zhao Xuefen, their faces full of ingratiating smiles, knowing the real situation.

It wasn’t Zhao Old Qi’s influence, but Su Yang’s few phone calls and the arrangement of the wedding that truly shocked everyone.

They couldn’t even begin to imagine the extent of Su Yang’s current status, but they knew very well that just a word from Su Yang could make their dreams come true—that was what mattered most.

Unfortunately, due to their previous attitudes toward Zhao Xuefen, she had given up on them. Even though these people followed her, Zhao Xuefen didn’t show them any kindness.

Despite that, they still shamelessly hung around.

Upstairs, Su Yang was still entertaining a table of guests. These guests were no ordinary people; four Family Heads from the Ten Great Families were sitting there. In addition to Nan Wudi, Qin Haishan, and Hou Xiangde, there was also Lin Zhengyuan from the Lin Family.

Being at the bottom of the Ten Great Families, the Lin Family had just happened to support the Zhao Family last time, leading to some unpleasantness with Su Yang.

After the previous incident, Lin Zhengyuan realized Su Yang was anything but simple. That’s why he personally came this time to show his face to Su Yang and to close the distance between them.

Su Yang bore no animosity toward Lin Zhengyuan; the man had been misled before. Besides, given Lin Zhengyuan’s status as a Family Head of the Ten Great Families, coming to Luo City in person was also a sign of respect for Su Yang. Given this, the past incidents didn’t matter anymore.

”Master Lin, I’m thankful that you came to Luo City this time!” Su Yang lifted his glass and smiled, ”Let bygones be bygones over this drink, shall we?”

Lin Zhengyuan was pleasantly surprised and quickly got up, laughing as he said, ”I still need to apologize to Master Su. I was really deceived by those villains before, and I offended you. I ask for Master Su’s forgiveness. This cup, I’ll drink first as a mark of respect!”

After he finished the drink in his cup, Lin Zhengyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Settling his grudges with Su Yang was like fulfilling a huge wish.

”Hahaha...” Nan Wudi laughed and said, ”That’s more like it. Actually, there was no real grudge between anyone, everything can be resolved by talking it out.”

”Hahaha...” Lin Zhengyuan also laughed and nodded, saying, ”Yes, about the past issues, I really didn’t see that coming. If Master Su hadn’t pointed it out, I still would have no idea about the Three Sage Monarchs behind those people! Master Su, what exactly are these Three Sage Monarchs? I’ve heard people say they seem to be some deities? Is that true or false?”

”Playing god!” Su Yang sneered, ”If they were really deities, would they need to deceive you like that? To control Pingnan Province, they could’ve done it outright with real power, why waste the effort?”

”Master Su is right!” Lin Zhengyuan nodded, ”It seems the Three Sage Monarchs aren’t that formidable after all. With Master Su in Pingnan Province, the Three Sage Monarchs won’t be able to stir up much trouble!”

The crowd nodded in agreement, they were now very confident in Su Yang.

”By the way, Su Yang,” Ying’er suddenly said, ”Wan Tong was planning to come as well, but her dad came back, so she couldn’t make it. She asked me to apologize to you, and also to wish the newlyweds happiness until old age!”

”Thank you!” Su Yang said with a light smile and a nod. He wasn’t very close to Ye Wantong. However, Ye Wantong had been kind to him.

”Ye Wantong’s father is back?” Nan Wudi’s eyes widened, ”Really? The Sword Saint is back?”

”Yes, he has just arrived home not long ago!” Ying’er said, ”Otherwise, why would Wan Tong not come?”

”My goodness, the last time the Sword Saint came back was ten years ago. I was wondering when he would return, and now he actually has!” Nan Wudi looked at Su Yang and smiled, ”Master Su, the Sword Saint is a true hermit. If you’re free some day, let’s go visit him in the provincial city together, shall we?”

”The Sword Saint?” Su Yang repeated the name, curiously asking, ”Is that his real name?”

”Not really!” Nan Wudi shook his head, ”His real name is Ye Tianyu. When he was three, he accidentally fell off a cliff and stumbled upon the Three-Foot Green Peak at the bottom of Bailao Mountain. Remarkably, at the age of three, he managed to exit the bottom of the mountain infested with venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, wielding his sword—an event hailed as a miracle!”

”Is there really such a story?” Hou Xiangde exclaimed in surprise, ”Isn’t it just a rumor? A three-year-old child surviving a fall from a cliff is one thing, but I know about the bottom of Bailao Mountain—the best of hunters, even in groups, can’t get out alive. A three-year-old child walked out of there?”

”Heh...” Nan Wudi gave a wry smile and said, ”This is actually not a rumor. I experienced that event along with Li Tianlong. I was with the Ye Family on a trip to Bailao Mountain and saw with my own eyes how Ye Tianyu fell off the cliff. The Ye Family exerted a lot of effort and hired many experts to search the bottom of the cliff, Li Tianlong happened to be nearby and came over to help.”

”Together, we ventured to the bottom of the cliff and truly encountered many ferocious beasts. Even as martial artists, we had three of our party meet their end at the bottom of the cliff, which shows how dangerous it was.”

”Yet, in the end, we could not find Ye Tianyu. When we came out, Ye Tianyu was already outside. His clothes were torn and ragged, and he held a longsword in his hands—the very same Three-Foot Green Peak. He entered Bailao Mountain’s depths alone and emerged by sword from the bottom of the cliff!”
