Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1134: Scumbag

A week hurried by, and the day for the duel between Su Yang and Chen Benshuang, as they had agreed, soon arrived.

During this period, Lü Donglin had actually tried several times to persuade Su Yang and Chen Benshuang to reconcile, but all his efforts ended in failure.

In truth, Su Yang wasn’t too keen on fighting Chen Benshuang. Previously, Chen Benshuang had intervened when someone from his side had been disrespectful to Hu Xiexie. Following that, she had also warned Zhao Dongming and the other two not to attack anyone else, especially mentioning Hu Xiexie, which raised Su Yang’s opinion of her significantly.

Though Chen Benshuang might have the temperament of a spoiled young lady and be somewhat headstrong, she was always a person with a spirit of chivalry and a clear sense of right and wrong. For someone like her, if it were any other matter, Su Yang really wouldn’t have cared to squabble with her.

However, when it involved Ye Wantong, there was no way Su Yang could back down. This battle was unavoidable.

At seven in the evening, quite a number of people gathered at the small restaurant.

Ever since the skirmish involving Lü Donglin, Zhao Dongming, Wu Feizhi, and Ge Kaiyang, the power dynamics within Qinghe Academy had become utterly clear.

Now, within the school, only the people from the Northern Three Provinces and a few from the Capital City were left, along with Su Yang and Hu Xiexie. As for the others, they had long been expelled from Qinghe Academy.

Originally, Lü Donglin had planned to leave Qinghe Academy after defeating Zhao Dongming and his companions. After all, dealing with Zhao Dongming and thwarting his plans had been his sole purpose for coming to the Academy. Other matters didn’t concern him much.

Though there were some grudges between Su Yang and the people from the Northern Three Provinces, in reality, Lü Donglin didn’t care much about them. Moreover, during this time, he had started to consider Su Yang a friend, and he never intended to harm him.

Nevertheless, because of the matter between Su Yang and Chen Benshuang, he had not left immediately and had stayed an extra week at the school.

Today, Lü Donglin had arrived even earlier than both Su Yang and Chen Benshuang. Clearly, he intended to keep a watchful eye on them to prevent a fight to the death.

Though Su Yang had not known Lü Donglin for long, Lü Donglin had treated him quite well. And in this period, Su Yang had finally realized that the claims of Lü Donglin’s arrogance and conceit, as spread by Zhao Dongming and others, were just slander.

It was true that Lü Donglin knew how to enjoy life, surrounded by beautiful maids and demanding private dining, but that was only a façade. Lü Donglin himself was actually a person of strong loyalty, though that was selective.

If Lü Donglin considered you a friend, it wouldn’t matter who you were; even a beggar would be treated as an honored guest. However, if he didn’t consider you a friend, even if you were a descendant of a Martial Champion, he would curse you freely, sparing no thought for your feelings.

Moreover, Su Yang had noticed that although the three girls around Lü Donglin were his servants, they bore no grudges against him. In fact, they were very grateful to Lü Donglin, as if serving him was a great honor.

Su Yang knew that such gratitude could not be bought with money. There were certainly untold stories between Lü Donglin and these girls. Lü Donglin was not as frivolous and flamboyant as he appeared to be but was someone with profound wisdom.

Su Yang had only seen such qualities in Qi Zhishan, who had forsaken the world for seventeen years. However, Lü Donglin was still very young and had some way to go before he could match Qi Zhishan.

Chen Benshuang arrived early at the restaurant, dressed in a tight-fitting martial outfit that accentuated her bold and valiant charisma. Coupled with her impressive figure and stunning beauty, she looked very much like a beautiful and flaming Female War God.

Huang Lin and the others followed behind her, completely under her command. Each of them carried themselves with an air of arrogance, radiating smugness on their faces. With the exception of showing deference to Lü Donglin, they held their heads high in front of anyone else, showing no sign of bowing.

Seeing Chen Benshuang approach, Lü Donglin wiped a wry smile across his face and said in a low voice, ”Lady Frost, you and Su Yang have no deep-seated hatred. Why must you fight this battle? Why not listen to me, say what needs to be said and settle it? Besides, you’ve heard about the matter between Su Yang and Ye Wantong. Ye Wantong doesn’t want to marry into the Su Family, and Su Yang took it upon himself to solve this for her out of a sense of justice. As someone aspiring to be a female knight, by doing this, aren’t you forcing Ye Wantong to marry into the Su Family? That’s not appropriate!”

Chen Benshuang pursed her lips, ”Lü Donglin, save your breath. I know all of this, and I don’t blame Ye Wantong for not wanting to marry into the Su Family. Every girl would be against having their family marry them off to a complete stranger. But regardless, this matter is between the Ye Family and the Su Family of Yanbei, what does it have to do with you, Su Yang? You meddling in this, even going as far as to defeat Chen Benhao, is a slap in the face to my Chen Family. If I don’t stand up for this, wouldn’t people think the Chen Family has no one to defend our honor? I, Chen Benshuang, won’t force Ye Wantong to marry into the Su Family, but I must seek an explanation for the insult to my Chen Family!”

”Who says it has nothing to do with Su Yang? Don’t you think there’s something ambiguous between the two of them?” Lü Donglin said, ”Besides, everyone knows that Ye Wantong likes Su Yang!”

”But does he like Ye Wantong?” Chen Benshuang countered directly: ”It’s Ye Wantong’s business that she likes him. If he likes Ye Wantong, then it becomes his business. He has never said that he likes Ye Wantong; they’re not a couple, so it has nothing to do with him. How is it that he doesn’t like Ye Wantong and yet interferes in her marriage affairs? What does that make him? A jerk?”

Lü Donglin was suddenly dumbfounded; he had no answer to that.

Actually, Su Yang had already arrived not too far from where they were, and he had heard what Chen Benshuang had said.

Every word she said struck a chord in his heart, causing him to ponder. What exactly was the relationship between him and Ye Wantong?

If it hadn’t been for the incident involving Hu Xiexie, in his heart, Su Yang had pretty much settled on Ye Wantong. He had always had a soft spot for her in his heart.

But when Hu Xiexie took that fatal blow from Ge Kaiyang for him, it shook his feelings.

He liked Ye Wantong, but how could he betray the woman who was willing to die for him?
