Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1088: Chapter 1087: Ge Kaiyang’s Thoughts

Yue Ming led the people from the Northern Three Provinces and left directly, causing quite a stir among the crowd at the scene.

Everyone knew Yue Ming’s group was looking for trouble with Su Yang. After all, Su Yang had kicked several of them out of Qinghe Academy.

Yet nobody had anticipated Zhao Dongming stepping forward to defend Su Yang.

Keep in mind, many of Zhao Dongming’s current subordinates were previously with Fang Ping. These people had been blocked by Su Yang in the gymnasium and had direct conflicts with him.

Although Zhao had taken these people under his wing, their grudges with Su Yang were deep-seated. It was already surprising that the two groups could meet without fighting, let alone expect them to support Su Yang.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Dongming’s insistence on backing Su Yang could provoke the displeasure of his people, perhaps even causing him to lose their support.

Zhao Dongming was no fool, so people began to wonder why he would do such a thing.

Connecting this to the recent visit from Young Master Qee, it dawned on everyone: the Martial Champion must be behind this!

The Martial Champion wanted to win over Su Yang, so he had sent his son to help Su Yang out of a tight spot. Zhao Dongming must have known about this, which is why he stood up for Su Yang despite knowing it could negatively impact him.

It all traced back to the Martial Champion!

And the goal of the Martial Champion was to win over Su Yang?

But what was his reason for doing so?

...

Ge Kaiyang’s dormitory.

Ge Kaiyang’s group was the first to leave the classroom and the first to return to the dormitory.

As soon as they returned, Ge immediately called several of his trusted followers into his room.

”Big Brother, what do you think Zhao Dongming’s motives are?” asked a follower immediately. ”That guy has been low-profile in the advanced class recently, barely making a ripple. Why did he explode like that today? He even confronted Lü Donglin’s group and defended Su Yang. Is it necessary? Could it really be that the Martial Champion is directing this behind the scenes?”

Everyone turned to look at Ge Kaiyang, as the matter involving the Martial Champion was not so simple. The recent events had demonstrated the Martial Champion’s power.

Even with so many of the Fang Family present, and the Land Immortal of the Fang Family, Fang Mingyuan, in attendance, they had to treat Young Master Qee with the utmost respect. This clearly showed the Martial Champion’s high status in Capital City!

The Martial Champion was now ready to meddle in Qinghe Academy’s affairs. Could it be he wanted to elevate Zhao Dongming to the top position in the advanced class?

Ge Kaiyang sat by the window, silently gazing at the dormitory buildings outside, not answering the questions.

After a long wait, Ge suddenly asked, ”What do you think, does Hu Xiexie suit me?”

Everyone was startled. Why had Ge Kaiyang suddenly switched to this topic?

However, his followers had been with Ge for a long time and understood him well. After a moment of surprise, they all looked pleased. A young man hurried over to Ge, whispering, ”Big Brother, do you have a method to deal with Su Yang?”

”I’m asking you if Hu Xiexie suits me,” Ge insisted.

The followers exchanged glances, and one of them said, ”There’s no denying Hu Xiexie is good-looking, but her family is just average, which is a negative point. In other respects, she scores very high. She’d be best as your lover, Big Brother, but she’s not quite wife material.”

They all nodded in agreement.

Ge Kaiyang smiled, ”As a wife, she’s certainly not adequate. I’ve heard that the most beautiful woman in Pingnan Province is Ye Wantong from the Ye Family, the sole daughter of Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng. She’s recently made progress learning the sword from the Sword Saint, even achieving the ability to wield the sword in flight within a few months—her talent is remarkable. A girl like that would be suitable to be my wife.”

The followers nodded again, and one of them chuckled, ”Big Brother, once you become the top student of the advanced class at Qinghe Academy, have someone propose to the Ye Family. I’m sure they’d be honored to receive your proposal!”

”Heh...” Ge Kaiyang chuckled, approached the window, and murmured, ”Send a message to Wu Feizhi, Su Yang and Zhao Dongming can leave Qinghe Academy ahead of schedule. But, Hu Xiexie has to be mine.”

”Is it necessary to tell him?” a young man said quietly.

Ge glanced at him and softly continued, ”You are all underestimating these people. I don’t know the full story about Lü Donglin, but as for Zhao Dongming and Wu Feizhi, neither of them are simple characters. Even Su Yang is probably not as straightforward as you think.”

The followers looked at each other again, still feeling that Ge was being overly cautious. With Ge’s strength, taking on Zhao Dongming and Su Yang should be no issue.

As if reading their thoughts, Ge Kaiyang said softly, ”It’s easy to handle them individually, but Zhao Dongming is the Martial Champion’s pupil after all, and his strength might have already broken through to the rank of the Sovereign, not far behind me. And that Su Yang, even if he hasn’t reached the Sovereign level, is at the very pinnacle of it. If I have to exert some effort against them both, what if Wu Feizhi attacks me from behind when I’m done? Wouldn’t I be at a loss?”

The followers suddenly understood Ge’s intention. In essence, the plan was to ally with Wu Feizhi, to take care of these two groups first, avoiding a mutual defeat which would benefit Wu as a third party.

”Big Brother, Wu Feizhi has always been crafty and unscrupulous in his actions. If we approach him, will he really lend a hand to help us?” one of the young men asked quietly. ”The matter with Xie Kuang just faded away in the end.”

”Don’t release the hawk until you see the hare!” Ge Kaiyang whispered, ”If I don’t make a move, neither will he, and we’ll all just be waiting around. But if I do, he’ll have to as well. He’s watching me, and I’m watching him—that’s the nature of our relationship.”

The followers had a moment of realization, but one of them was still puzzled, ”Big Brother, Lü Donglin will be here in a few days. Then, let him handle them personally. That’ll drain Lü Donglin’s strength. Why shouldn’t we just sit back and let them fight it out?”

The young men immediately nodded, echoing the sentiment. Yue Ming had made it clear that he was ready to stir trouble today, so why should they make the first move instead?

”Strike first to get a share of the cake,” Ge laughed. ”Once Lü Donglin arrives and deals with Zhao Dongming and Su Yang, which of Capital City’s people will end up under whose command? And who will ultimately claim Hu Xiexie?”
