Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 118: Chapter 118 You’re Not Worthy of Xi Xi!

These people walked through the thick fog and, upon seeing Su Yang and Hu Xiexie, were all stunned.

”Xiexie, what are you doing here?” Li Wanxiong furrowed his brows, ”Didn’t I tell you to stay in the car and not to run around? How did you come here? And, when did he come over?”

”Uncle, I was bored by myself in the car, so I called him over!” Hu Xiexie protested coquettishly, ”He’s my disciple, I want to teach him martial arts!”

”For a girl to teach a man martial arts, what sort of behavior is that!” Li Wanxiong exclaimed angrily, ”Haven’t I said before, you are not to cause such trouble!”

Hu Xiexie pouted with her head lowered, ”Alright...”

Li Wanxiong glanced at Su Yang and didn’t speak, but the look in his eyes was obviously displeased.

The other few also looked at Su Yang with some hostility in their eyes. Particularly, one young man was looking at Su Yang with eyes full of hatred.

This young man was Hao Jun, who had been pursuing Hu Xiexie without success. And now, Su Yang was actually so close to Hu Xiexie, naturally, it infuriated him!

”Xiexie, how can you be so careless?” Hao Jun said, ”With people whose backgrounds are unknown, it’s better to stay cautious. After all, it’s a desolate place here, and if he has any malicious intentions, wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

Su Yang’s brows furrowed slightly; these words were essentially a personal attack.

Hu Xiexie became immediately incensed and said, ”Hao Jun, how can you speak like that? He’s my disciple, and also my friend. I won’t allow you to insult him like this!”

Hao Jun: ”Xiexie, it’s for your own good. As the saying goes, ’You can know a person’s face but not their heart.’ People who seem honest on the surface might well be heartless beasts behind their backs. You must be wary of such people!”

”You’re the heartless beast!” Hu Xiexie fumed.

”Xiexie!” Li Wanxiong shouted angrily, ”What way is that to speak?”

”Uncle...” Hu Xiexie’s lips quivered, looking quite aggrieved.

Li Wanxiong spoke sternly, ”Aren’t you going to apologize to Director Hao right away!”

”I... I...” Hu Xiexie’s face turned red, tears swirling in her eyes.

Su Yang’s expression turned icy and was about to speak, but at that moment, Hao Tiangong was the first to interject, ”Oh, Brother Li, why get so worked up? Xiexie is still a child and can be a bit impulsive when she talks, it’s inevitable. The most important thing is, we can’t let Xiexie go down the wrong path, choosing the wrong friends is a matter for a lifetime!”

Li Wanxiong glanced at Su Yang, and Hao Tiangong’s words were clearly about him. In fact, he didn’t have much of a liking for Su Yang. Seeing how Hu Xiexie had almost clashed with the entire Ding Family over Su Yang aggravated his dissatisfaction towards him even more.

”Director Hao, Brother Duan, let’s leave it at that then!” Li Wanxiong bowed towards the two, ”Tonight at eight o’clock, Deyue Tower, we will await the honor of your presence!”

”Most certainly! Most certainly!” The two men responded in unison, bowing back, taking their people, and departing first.

”Xiexie, go back to the car!” Li Wanxiong said coldly.

”Uncle...”

”I told you to go back to the car!” Li Wanxiong’s voice grew colder, and Hu Xiexie, not daring to disobey, could only quietly make an apologetic gesture to Su Yang and then leave with her head down.

Watching Hu Xiexie walk away, Li Wanxiong then turned to Su Yang and said coldly, ”Su Yang, I hope you’ll keep your distance from Xiexie in the future!”

Su Yang’s brows slightly furrowed, but since this was after all Hu Xiexie’s uncle, he still treated him with respect, ”Why?”

”Because you’re simply not worthy of Xiexie!” Li Wanxiong looked at Su Yang with cold eyes, ”Xiexie is my niece, someone I’ve watched grow up. She has the best family background, the best appearance, the best upbringing and conversation skills. The person who matches her must definitely be a dragon among men. Do you qualify?”

”I know you have the backing of the Hou Family and possess some heaven-defying medical skills, indeed having the capital to look down upon your peers. But what are these things in my eyes?”

”Do you know what Xiexie’s status is? Do you think Xiexie is just as simple as being the daughter of Nanluo City’s richest man that you see?”

”I’m telling you, Xiexie’s status is something you could never hope to reach. Everything you have, in our eyes, is as insignificant as the dust of the mortal world, meaningless!”

”The people pursuing Xiexie, any one you pick is much better than you. Do you know what real strength is? Let me tell you this, even the scions of the great families in Pingnan Province are many in pursuit of Xiexie. Compared to them, what do you count for?”

Su Yang suddenly laughed, ”Mr. Li, actually, I really wasn’t planning on pursuing Xiexie. But now that you’ve said so, I quite want to see, just what sort of gap there is between me and Xiexie!”

”How dare you!” Li Wanxiong shouted angrily, ”Don’t think that with Xiexie protecting you, you can act recklessly. If you dare get close to Xiexie again, I’ll break your legs first!”

Su Yang smiled lightly, ”Mr. Li, you should also feel fortunate. Because you are Xiexie’s uncle, I won’t take this to heart. If it were someone else, they would have had their limbs twisted off by now!”

Li Wanxiong’s face turned icy, his hands clenched into fists.

Right at that moment, Hu Xiexie’s voice came from a distance, ”Uncle, are you leaving or not? Don’t bully my apprentice!”

Li Wanxiong’s clenched fists slowly loosened, he took a slow step back and said in a heavy voice, ”Forget it, you may go. But remember well what I said!”

Su Yang watched Li Wanxiong walk away with a smile and also strolled slowly by the lakeside himself.

Clearly, in Li Wanxiong’s eyes, Su Yang was just a trivial person unworthy of standing together with Hu Xiexie.

But what did he know, in Su Yang’s eyes, how many in this world could stand beside him?

The scions of the great families in Pingnan Province, in Su Yang’s view, were like nothing at all.

As long as Su Yang could break through to the Integration Realm, even the entire Pingnan Province, who else could be his opponent? Or perhaps, once Su Yang successfully cultivated his sword, he would be able to look down upon Pingnan Province!

Su Yang stood by the shore, silent for a long while, then suddenly stepped towards the lake.

Stepping onto the surface of the lake, Su Yang was as if treading on glass, not sinking at all.

With each step quicker than the last, eventually, he strode vigorously, like a streak of black light, instantly reaching the middle of Wanshan Lake!

Su Yang sat cross-legged in the air, quietly practicing Taoist Secret Arts. Before long, streams of Spiritual Energy began to appear around him, originating from Wanshan Lake.

The feng shui of Wanshan Lake was also quite good, something Su Yang had noticed when he first arrived. Now that everyone had left, he naturally wanted to absorb these Spiritual Energies.

Half an hour later, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flickering within.

The Spiritual Energy absorbed this time wasn’t as much as the last time at Qingyun Mountain, but it still greatly enhanced his strength. Now, his foundation was very solid. All he needed next was to devour enough power to enter the Qi Refining Peak Realm!
