Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 464: Chapter 463 The Man in Her Heart, It’s You

Su Yang listened, utterly shocked. If Ye Jiansheng hadn’t told him in person, he never would have known these things.

The existence of the Heavenly Palace indeed left one profoundly shaken!

And the presence of these major families, these great sects, especially that of the assassins, was even more startling.

Who could have imagined that the power of a single individual could make the Heavenly Palace abandon its jurisdiction over him?

Cultivators, if they could reach the level of an assassin, what heights would that be?

”That’s not right, though!” Su Yang suddenly said, ”Just the Su Family alone has nearly two hundred Earth Immortals. Then, the seven major hermit families, along with those great sects, would total several thousand Earth Immortals, right? But the Heavenly Palace still controls ninety percent, doesn’t that mean there could be tens of thousands of Earth Immortals in the world? However, in the entire Pingnan Province, there are only three Earth Immortals: You, Gwu Jihan, and that Assassination Star!”

”What you see on the surface is only part of the picture. In fact, the vast majority of Earth Immortals are unknown to the common people,” said Ye Jiansheng. ”Once you reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, you will understand.”

”Really?” Su Yang said. ”Then your rank of fourth on the Heavenly List must be quite inflated, no?”

”Hahaha...” Ye Jiansheng chuckled. ”There is indeed some exaggeration. Those three lists do not account for the seven major hermit families and the great sects. In fact, it is within these families and sects where the real masters are aplenty!”

Su Yang was speechless for a moment; it seemed there were, indeed, no lack of masters in this world!

”I’ve told you so much just now, so you should understand the status of the Su Family,” Ye Jiansheng spoke softly. ”And what I’m about to tell you next is why Su Tianyu can’t come here himself.”

”The Su Family, being one of the seven great hermit families, considers lineage inheritance as the most crucial matter. Su Tianyu is one of the few individuals of this generation that the Su Family is focusing on cultivating, and now is the time for the younger generation to be selected. Su Tianyu must stay with the family to prepare for this selection. It’s not that he does not value this marriage, but that he cannot afford to roam around carelessly!”

”Actually, this marriage could have waited a little longer. However, I cannot wait that long. If this marriage is settled, and the Ye Family can offer protection, then I am ready to participate in the selection of the Law Enforcers!”

As he said this, Ye Jiansheng turned to Su Yang and said softly, ”So, this matter is not one of Su Tianyu undervaluing it, nor is it the Su Family looking down on the Ye Family; it’s because I must do it!”

Su Yang scratched his head; of course, he wasn’t privy to these intrigues. All this commotion tonight seemed to have disrupted all of Ye Jiansheng’s plans.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang spoke softly, ”Have you considered Wan Tong’s feelings? Do you think she’s willing to marry?”

Ye Jiansheng’s expression turned solemn, and he sighed, ”That’s precisely the problem. Wan Tong... she is unwilling to marry!”

”Well, that settles it!” Su Yang shrugged. ”You have to get past your daughter first, right?”

”That’s why I came to you,” said Ye Jiansheng.

”What’s the use of finding me?” asked Su Yang. ”You don’t expect me to persuade her, do you? I don’t have that much capability!”

Ye Jiansheng looked at Su Yang and said softly, ”The man in her heart is you!”

”...” Su Yang was at a loss for words and quickly said, ”Don’t talk nonsense!”

”I’m not talking nonsense!” Ye Jiansheng insisted softly. ”She gave you her most treasured possession, and since coming back, she’s been holding her mobile phone, staring at your number, wanting to call but not daring to. If you weren’t in her heart, would she hesitate like this?”

Su Yang froze, the statement from Ye Jiansheng shocked him profoundly.

Ye Wantong, she actually liked him?

What exactly was going on?

Didn’t she quite dislike him?

”You... you must be mistaken,” Su Yang frowned, ”Ye Wantong only regards me as a friend. Previously, Mo Qianli used my name to write a love letter to Ye Wantong. She was very angry at that time, she specifically blocked me at the station and vented her spleen at me. It was because of that matter, she was deceived into coming out; how could she possibly have feelings for me?”

”Women are fickle,” said Ye Jiansheng, ”You will never know under what circumstances a woman might fall for you. Perhaps it is when you save her. Or perhaps it is when you spend a few days alone with her. Or maybe simply when you are extremely cold to her!”

”...” Su Yang said speechlessly, ”That’s just nonsense. Ye Wantong and I have only met a few times. To say we are friends is even a bit too soon, so how could we be talking about feelings?”

”It is precisely such feelings that are the most fatal!” Ye Jiansheng said softly.

”Are you intentionally here to make trouble?”asked Su Yang, ”All this is your wild guess; it’s just not possible!”

”Possible or not, I still need to tell you,” Ye Jiansheng said in a soft voice, ”Your strength is not bad, but it’s still not enough to marry my daughter. If you indeed have feelings for my daughter, then you must at least make it onto the Heavenly List and have the ability to protect the Ye Family before you qualify to marry her.”

”What if I don’t have feelings for her!” Su Yang asked directly.

”Then you should stay away from her in the future!” Ye Jiansheng’s voice turned cold, ”I don’t want my daughter’s marriage to be delayed by anyone. I also don’t want my daughter to be let down by someone who doesn’t like her!”

”You are being unreasonable!” Su Yang exclaimed angrily, ”Ye Wantong and I are friends, why should I stay away from her? Have you even asked your daughter what she wants? Can you ignore her feelings just to protect your clan, and arbitrarily choose a man she hasn’t even met for her to marry?”

”Ye Jiansheng, you are truly selfish! Just so you can enter the Heavenly Palace and become one of those so-called Law Enforcers, can you sacrifice your own daughter’s happiness?”

”Just for your own sake of becoming a powerful and superior being, can you sever all human kinship and friendship?”

”Just to lord over others, can you randomly manipulate and control other people’s lives?”

”Ye Jiansheng, oh Ye Jiansheng, you really don’t deserve the name. You are far from a Saint!”

Su Yang’s words left Ye Jiansheng dumbfounded. After a long silence, he frowned and said, ”Su Yang, you know, if I wish, I can kill you with just one sword strike!”

”Hmph, aren’t you afraid of the Law Enforcers above?” Su Yang said coldly.

Ye Jiansheng spoke coldly, ”If I use only the power of the Fusion Realm to kill you, the Law Enforcers won’t do anything to me!”

”Using only the power of the Fusion Realm, I’m afraid you’re no match for me!” Su Yang replied coldly as well.

”Is that so?” said Ye Jiansheng coldly, ”Ye Mou has achieved Great Perfection in every realm during my cultivation—Foundation Establishment, Qi Refinement, Fusion—each realm, I have made myself invincible. Even if I suppress my power to your realm, I think killing you would still only take one move!”
