Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1067: Whose Doing?

”Brother Su seems to have recovered from his injuries quite quickly,” Zhao Dongming said with a smile. ”I had even brought the spiritual medicine passed down from my master for Brother Su, but it looks like it was completely unnecessary!”

”Thanks, Brother Zhao,” Su Yang nodded. In his heart, he still suspected that it was Zhao Dongming who had killed Fang Ping. Moreover, Zhao Dongming was not as honest and straightforward as he appeared to be; he was ruthless and cunning, and Su Yang had to be cautious.

Zhao Dongming noticed Su Yang’s wariness and smiled faintly, ”Why be so polite? Last night, Brother Su gave me so much face, and there’s nothing I can do to repay you. Alas, I learned about today’s events too late. Otherwise, I would have definitely spoken a few words in Brother Su’s favor!”

Su Yang looked at Zhao Dongming and replied with a smile, ”What could you have said on my behalf? The Fang Family is convinced that I killed Fang Ping. Could you have possibly testified for me?”

This statement from Su Yang was actually a test to see how Zhao Dongming would react. After all, in his view, Fang Ping was killed by Zhao Dongming.

Zhao Dongming maintained a calm expression and sighed, ”I wouldn’t go as far as to testify, but I know that Brother Su did not kill Fang Ping!”

”Oh?” Su Yang laughed. ”You trust me so much?”

”It’s not that I trust Brother Su...” Zhao Dongming said softly, ”but my master has investigated it, and he said it was not Brother Su who did it. I have absolute faith in my master’s words!”

Su Yang’s expression changed. He had been testing Zhao Dongming, so why did it suddenly involve Zhao Dongming’s master?

Zhao Dongming’s master was the Martial Champion. Could it be that the Martial Champion had also taken notice of this matter?

”The Martial Champion investigated this matter?” Su Yang furrowed his brows.

”Of course!” Zhao Dongming said with a laugh. ”Otherwise, why would he have personally sent someone today to clarify the situation for Brother Su?”

Su Yang’s expression changed again, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, ”The Martial Champion sent someone? Young Master Qee?”

”Exactly, Young Master Qee—he is my senior brother, the seventh son of my master!” said Zhao Dongming.

Su Yang was completely stunned. He had truly not expected that Young Master Qee was actually the son of the Martial Champion. So, could it be that it was the Martial Champion who had resolved this issue for him today?

But what exactly was going on?

The disciple of the Martial Champion killed Fang Ping, the Fang Family believed Su Yang was the killer, and now the Martial Champion had sent someone to clear Su Yang’s name? What was he thinking? Wasn’t he afraid that the Fang Family would continue their investigation and eventually discover Zhao Dongming?

Su Yang looked at Zhao Dongming. As a disciple of the Martial Champion, logically, the Martial Champion should definitely help him. This issue was likely not so simple.

After a moment of silence, a sudden realization dawned upon Su Yang: Fang Ping must not have been killed by Zhao Dongming!

Yes, it must be so. Fang Ping wasn’t killed by Zhao Dongming. Therefore, the Martial Champion would help clear Su Yang’s name.

Moreover, by personally coming and revealing Young Master Qee’s identity, it could also be a way to convey a message to Su Yang, telling him that Fang Ping was not killed by him.

With this realization, Su Yang finally had some clarity. Perhaps, he had been mistaken from the start because it wasn’t Zhao Dongming who killed Fang Ping. That’s why the Martial Champion resolved the matter, and why Zhao Dongming dared to seek him out.

The Martial Champion did this also to pave the way for his apprentice. Su Yang knew that Zhao Dongming was using him to deal with other powers in the advanced class. Therefore, the Martial Champion certainly could not sit idly by and let the people from the Fang Family take care of Su Yang, so he intervened to resolve the matter.

As a result, Su Yang was able to escape this calamity. Moreover, after this incident, Su Yang would certainly be able to enter the advanced class quickly and help Zhao Dongming deal with the other three groups.

All of this, in fact, Su Yang had already guessed. What puzzled him now was, who exactly had killed Fang Ping?

The person who killed Fang Ping did three things at once. The first was to frame him, making Su Yang take on this matter. Second, it was to set up Zhao Dongming, making Su Yang believe that Zhao Dongming killed Fang Ping, thereby targeting Zhao Dongming. The third act was to drag the Fang Family into this.

In other words, the person who did this not only targeted Su Yang but also Zhao Dongming and the Fang Family. Killing Fang Ping was killing three birds with one stone.

But the key question was, who was this person? What grievances did he have with Su Yang, and why involve Su Yang as well?

Su Yang thought hard about his enemies in Capital City, but could not think of many.

Su Yang didn’t actually have many enemies in Capital City. Even those who had gone to Pingnan Province, even compared with the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families, were not on the same level. Compared to a major family like the Fang Family, they were even less comparable; they definitely did not have the capital or the courage to do such a thing.

Therefore, after much thought, there was only one family left—the Chen Family from the Ten Great Families of the Capital City!

The relationship between the Chen Family and Su Yang was not exactly hostile, but it was definitely not good.

Chen Benhao and Su Yang had a good relationship, but at that time, Chen Benhao was the representative of the Su Family of Yanbei, going to the Ye Family of Pingnan Province to propose a marriage.

As a result, Su Yang single-handedly thwarted that matter.

Although he and Chen Benhao got to know each other through a fight, Chen Benhao had warned Su Yang to be very careful back when he was in Pingnan Province. He came on behalf of the Su Family, and by ruining this matter, Su Yang was essentially slapping both the Chen Family and the Su Family in the face. In such a situation, both the Chen Family and the Su Family would not likely forget this enmity.

Since the people from the Su Family of Yanbei had not yet appeared, the first one Su Yang thought of was the Chen Family.

The Chen Family had some grudges with Su Yang and also had the strength to do such a thing.

Among the Ten Great Families of the Capital City, the Chen Family ranked second. With their powerful background and strength, they were certainly uncontent being suppressed by the Martial Champion. So, by doing this, they were attacking Zhao Dongming, which was actually an indirect way of dragging the Martial Champion into this.

They also had a grudge against Su Yang, so by carrying out this act, Su Yang would also be dragged into it.

Then there’s the Fang Family—Su Yang didn’t know what the relationship was between the Chen Family and the Fang Family. But being major families of Capital City, the Chen Family definitely would not want to see Fang Ping, who bore the hopes of many, rise up. So, the dark hand that killed Fang Ping could also be a very likely scenario.

Putting together all these circumstances and giving it careful thought, Su Yang’s brows furrowed even tighter. It was highly possible that the Chen Family was behind this.

If it really was the Chen Family, then this matter would be much more troublesome.

If the Chen Family had moved, and the Martial Champion had probably uncovered some traces, under such circumstances, would the Chen Family completely erupt, choosing to break the jar and go for broke, starting an all-out war.

If that was the case, the Chen Family would certainly spare no effort in dealing with Su Yang, and Su Yang would then truly be in danger.
