Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 924: Chapter 923: Battle for the Snow Lotus

Ye Jiansheng was about to put the snow lotus into his pocket when Huo Yuanzhen beside him suddenly seemed stuck, coughing twice, ”Cough cough...”

While coughing, Huo Yuanzhen was staring sharply at Su Yang.

Su Yang’s eyes were wide open, this snow lotus was what Huo Yuanzhen wanted. If Ye Jiansheng took it, wouldn’t Huo Yuanzhen make him suffer?

Besides, Huo Yuanzhen had made it clear at the time that this snow lotus must be given to Huo Qianfang and absolutely not to Ye Wantong.

Now, Ye Jiansheng was taking it, obviously for Ye Wantong.

If things went this way, how could Huo Yuanzhen let Su Yang off?

But now that the item was in Ye Jiansheng’s hands, could Su Yang still claim it back?

Although Ye Jiansheng looked immaculate, like a Sword Immortal, Su Yang knew him well—when shameless, he could embarrass anyone.

”Well...” Su Yang, sweating profusely, hurriedly said, ”This snow lotus, I... I have another use for it...”

”I don’t care what purpose you have, it’s mine now,” Ye Jiansheng declared.

”Aiyo, Ye Jiansheng, how could you, are you planning to rob it outright?” Huo Yuanzhen spoke up.

”What do you mean rob? This is outright plunder!” Ye Jiansheng had no self-awareness.

”...” Huo Yuanzhen was at a loss for words.

Lian Wanxiong couldn’t help but laugh, waving his hands and saying, ”Brother Ye, why must you be so petty with a young man? You’re just resentful that this kid promised Miss Huo to give the snow lotus to Huo Qianfang. Actually, under those circumstances, you can’t really blame Young Master Su, could he have refused Miss Huo and gotten away?”

Hearing these words, Su Yang finally understood the situation. So Ye Jiansheng knew about this and was deliberately making things difficult for him!

Huo Yuanzhen, however, narrowed her eyes fiercely, ”What do you mean by that? Oh, are you saying I’m unreasonable? Don’t forget that I saved this young man that day, shouldn’t he repay me?”

Lian Wanxiong didn’t expect the conflict to spread to him, and he quickly responded with an embarrassed smile, ”Of course...I didn’t mean that. I mean, this young man should definitely repay you. It’s just, it’s all because Brother Ye, this stubborn old man, insists on competing with you, I can’t stand him!”

”That’s more like it!” Huo Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction.

”Who are you calling a stubborn old man!” Ye Jiansheng was displeased, ”Both of you, who is younger than me? I think you two are the stubborn old ones!”

”Who are you calling a stubborn old man!” Huo Yuanzhen burst out in anger. A woman’s age was the ultimate taboo.

”Brother Ye, be careful with your words. I don’t mind, but for a lady, it’s not nice to speak like that! Besides, Miss Huo looks like she is in her prime, how can you use the word ’old’ to describe her?” Lian Wanxiong seemingly advised, but with a sense of stirring things up.

Ye Jiansheng was immediately speechless, ”All right, all right, I won’t argue with you, I just want this snow lotus, what do you think!”

”No way!” Huo Yuanzhen immediately said, ”This was the first thing I spotted, it should be mine.”

”You spotted it first, why didn’t you take it? If you didn’t take it, then it still isn’t your item. Since it’s not yours, now that I’ve taken it, it’s mine!”

”Hey, you are really shameless with that logic. By your rationale, the items of my Huo Family, if they’re not on me, are they no longer mine? Are all the rocks on this mountain yours if you carry them on your person?”

”You are nonsensical and unreasonable!”

”You’re the one being nonsensical and unreasonable!”

The two were at odds, and Su Yang was actually glad for the leisure, appearing as if it didn’t concern him.

Lian Wanxiong smiled, patted Su Yang on the shoulder, and led him away first. As for those two debating, who knew when they would finish?

After walking for a while, Lian Wanxiong spoke softly, ”Do you know what Ye Jiansheng and Huo Yuanzhen are primarily fighting over?”

Su Yang shook his head.

”It’s not about that snow lotus...” Lian Wanxiong looked at Su Yang, ”It’s about you!”

”What?” Su Yang was somewhat confused. Fight over him for what?

”Ye Wantong, Huo Qianfang...” Lian Wanxiong sighed softly, ”You cannot make a choice yourself, but these two girls are already deeply involved. One is Ye Jiansheng’s daughter, and the other is Huo Qianfang’s grandniece. They are more worried than you!”

”I know Ye Jiansheng well. He can yield in other matters, but when it concerns his daughter, he will never yield!”

”As for Huo Yuanzhen...” Lian Wanxiong fell silent at this point, his expression turned somber for a moment, and he whispered, ”She probably doesn’t want her own pain to befall the younger generation of the Huo family.”

”What pain?” Su Yang asked, surprised.

”You better not ask about that.” Lian Wanxiong waved his hand, his expression clearly awkward.

Su Yang could tell that Huo Yuanzhen’s pain must be inseparably linked to Lian Wanxiong.

”Mr. Lian, I’ve always been confused...” Su Yang spoke in a low voice, ”Why are you willing to help me so much? Do you realize that by doing so, you are... you are making enemies with those major families in the Southern Six Provinces, those Earth Immortals?”

Lian Wanxiong smiled faintly, ”You will understand this matter later. Just remember what I said; do whatever you want freely. We can’t help you with mortal matters. But when it comes to Immortals’ matters, we can sort it all out for you!”

Su Yang was taken aback. Lian Wanxiong’s words clearly encouraged him to keep causing a bigger stir. What exactly did he mean? Did Lian Wanxiong think that what he did in the Southern Six Provinces was too trivial?

”But, having made so many enemies...” Su Yang spoke in a low voice.

”What about enemies!” Lian Wanxiong chuckled, ”In this life, if I have to be against the whole world, so be it!”

Su Yang was astonished. Lian Wanxiong’s words sounded oddly strange.

”As for Ye Jiansheng, you don’t need to worry about him,” Lian Wanxiong said. ”This kid wants to be the ’Single Heaven-sealing Slash’ himself, he wants to stir up even bigger commotions than you!”

”What is ’Single Heaven-sealing Slash’...” Su Yang wondered aloud.

Lian Wanxiong waved his hand, not offering further explanation.

”And what about Elder Huo?” Su Yang spoke in a low voice.

”You don’t need to worry about her matters either,” Lian Wanxiong chuckled. ”There aren’t many in this world who dare to harm her.”

”What?” Su Yang was agog.

”You must have heard from Ye Jiansheng before, Huo Yuanzhen has a brother.” Lian Wanxiong looked up at the sky, speaking softly, ”That’s someone who can command the Law Enforcers!”

”Command the Law Enforcers?” Su Yang was baffled, were there actually such people? Someone important from the Heavenly Court?

Lian Wanxiong chuckled lightly, ”Otherwise, why do you think those three Law Enforcers favored you so much today?”
