Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 474: Chapter 473 Friends from the Capital City

The Zhou family were instantly dumbfounded, what kind of ridiculous demand was that?

Take a few slashes, who could withstand that?

Not to mention whether the blade was sharp or not, in Master Su’s hands, even a piece of straw could be lethal, let alone a knife?

If we really stand here and take a few slashes, which of us from the Zhou family would walk out alive?

Young Master Zhou smiled awkwardly, ”Master Su, you sure know how to joke...”

”I’m really not joking!” Su Yang said slowly, ”So what’ll it be, will you give me this courtesy? If so, I’ll go get the knife!”

Everyone’s complexion changed, Young Master Zhou spoke with a trembling voice, ”Master Su, this... this... testing the blade doesn’t necessarily mean we have to slash people. Actually... actually, using an ox, a horse, a pig, or something of that ilk would do just the same, and moreover, the effect... the effect might be even better...”

Su Yang said coldly, ”Do I look like a butcher to you?”

”No offense!” Young Master Zhou quickly said with a quiver, ”Master Su, I... I wouldn’t dare say such a thing about you, I... I was just suggesting...”

”By letting me slaughter a pig, you think I’m a butcher?” Su Yang said coldly, ”So, this is how you see me in the Zhou Family’s eyes?”

Young Master Zhou suddenly had the urge to die, cursing himself for ever bringing up the pig-killing analogy.

”Master Su, I... I really didn’t mean it that way, how could I dare to insult you!” Young Master Zhou’s voice trembled as he spoke.

”If that’s not what you meant, let’s stick to the original plan.” Su Yang smiled, ”Who among you is willing to stand up and let me give them a few slashes?”

The members of the Zhou family looked at each other, who dared to bear those slashes?

”Master Su, stop joking around...” Young Master Zhou said uneasily.

Su Yang’s expression suddenly turned icy, ”What are you worth for me to joke with you!”

Young Master Zhou’s face showed utmost embarrassment. He was, after all, the eldest son of the Zhou family, one of the Ten Great Families in Pingnan Province and a top-notch wastrel there. Being so insulted by Su Yang, he was extremely furious inside, yet he couldn’t dare to retaliate.

”Master Su, if this blade really cuts flesh, it would bring either death or injury... this is too violent,” Young Master Zhou said.

”Afraid of death yet speaking of scaling mountains of blades or descending into seas of fire?” Su Yang said coldly, ”I’m not even asking you to scale mountains of blades or descend into seas of fire; just to take a few slashes, and you can’t even manage that? Weren’t your previous words then deceiving me?”

Young Master Zhou was stunned; he realized Su Yang was just toying with them.

Taking a deep breath, Young Master Zhou spoke with a firm voice, ”Master Su, we were wrong about what happened before. We have apologized, and if Chen Shao doesn’t think he can forgive us, then... then please propose a way to resolve this. My Zhou family will definitely satisfy both you and Chen Shao. How about that?”

”Well, isn’t that a coincidence. That knife was a gift from me to Su Yang; I’d also like to see just how sharp that knife is!” Chen Benhao immediately laughed, ”Come on, why don’t we just test the knife?”

Young Master Zhou felt like vomiting blood, why do you keep bringing up this knife test, aiming to take a life, aren’t you?

”Chen Shao, stop the jokes...” Young Master Zhou said awkwardly.

”Who are you for me to joke with?” Chen Benhao mimicked Su Yang’s way of speaking.

Yougn Master Zhou was completely furious. Su Yang’s words were bad enough, but what was Chen Benhao? Just a lowlife, beneath notice, trying to ride on someone else’s coattails, bullying his way to the top of the Zhou family, as if his family could be easily trifled with by anyone?

”Chen Shao, although my Zhou family may not be all that capable, we’re still one of the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families!” Young Master Zhou said with a stern voice, ”Please be careful with your words. My Zhou family is not one to be insulted at will!”

”Hmph!” Su Yang snorted coldly, ”One of the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families? If I wanted, the Zhou family could be kicked out of the Ten Great Families anytime!”

Young Master Zhou’s expression changed drastically; Su Yang’s words were true, and he felt he had no place to disagree.

Just then, a short-haired young man next to Young Master Zhou leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Young Master Zhou’s face suddenly lit up with delight. He turned to look at the short-haired young man, ”Really?”

The short-haired young man nodded vigorously, a smug look in his eye.

Young Master Zhou took a deep breath and immediately turned to Su Yang, speaking loudly, ”Master Su, I know you have a lot of influence in Pingnan. But we’re just out here to enjoy ourselves, shouldn’t we be resolving grievances rather than deepening them? And after all, having come this far, you can’t possibly just keep your sights on one province, can you? Master Su, it just happens that I have two friends from Capital City who will be here soon. How about I introduce you to them later?”

After a pause, Young Master Zhou smiled and said, ”These two friends of mine from Capital City wield quite some influence there. To pick one out at random, they are much more powerful than any so-called scions of the Pingnan Province. Looking over the whole Pingnan Province, you’d be hard-pressed to find people who could even compare. Master Su, if you make their acquaintance, you’ll have two friends to host you when you visit Capital City. That’s surely much better than us creating an ugly scene here, right?”

Upon hearing this, people from the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief.

Scions from Capital City? Of course they were much stronger than the local gentry of Pingnan Province. If the Zhou family had such figures backing them up, they wouldn’t have to fear Su Yang anymore!

”Scions from Capital City?” Su Yang laughed and looked at Chen Benhao next to him, ”They are trying to intimidate me with big shots from Capital City!”

”Hahaha...” Chen Benhao burst into hearty laughter: ”It’s not just you who’s scared, I am too!”

”Hahaha...” Su Yang too laughed and turned to Young Master Zhou, ”So are you trying to threaten me with these scions from Capital City?”

”I wouldn’t dare!” Young Master Zhou said firmly, ”I’m just letting you know, Master Su, especially since I have to entertain friends from Capital City today. If things get awkward here, wouldn’t that be disrespecting my friends from Capital City?”

”These friends of yours from Capital City are that important?” Su Yang teased.

Young Master Zhou proudly said, ”Their families are very large even in Capital City. If placed in the regions, they are hardly inferior to the Ye or Shangguan families. Of course, they’re important!”

”Since they are so important, let’s wait for them then,” Su Yang said with a smile. ”It’s not that much fun cleaning you up here without a few spectators, right?”

Young Master Zhou’s expression turned icy; he had thought that flaunting his Capital City friends would intimidate Su Yang. But Su Yang was so arrogant that he didn’t even give face to people from Capital City.

However, Young Master Zhou was no longer afraid. After all, these two scions from Capital City had a good relationship with the Zhou family. Once they arrived, with their intervention, he didn’t believe Su Yang would dare to make much of a fuss.

These Capital City scions didn’t care at all about your influence in Pingnan Province!
