Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1104 Paid Q&A

”Su Yang, what... what are you doing...” Wu Daozi’s voice trembled a bit. Even though he felt panicked inside, his eyes were still fixed intently on the suitcase full of cash.

”Nothing much, just for you to spend, that’s all,” Su Yang said with a smile.

”For us to spend?” Wu Daozi’s eyes widened as Yuan Tiangang spoke up bluntly, ”As if you would be that generous.”

Su Yang glanced at Yuan Tiangang, ”So it’s wrong for me to give you money to spend? Well, if that’s the case, forget it. I’m taking the money back then.”

Su Yang promptly closed the suitcase, which made both of them shiver. Wu Daozi glared at Yuan Tiangang and quickly said with an awkward smile, ”Student Su, we’re all on the same side here. You are a kind-hearted person who respects teachers and values the old ways. We’re quite clear on that. It’s normal for you to respect your seniors by giving them money to spend. Why would we ever doubt you? Uh... we thank you very much...”

As he spoke, Wu Daozi reached out to grab the suitcase but was directly stopped by Su Yang.

”Teacher Yuan doesn’t trust me, so I think it’s better to forget about the money,” Su Yang shook his head and sighed, ”lest anyone really think I have ill intentions. It would be worrisome to spend such money, wouldn’t it?”

Wu Daozi glared fiercely at Yuan Tiangang again, who now looked dispirited and wore a face full of self-reproach and awkwardness.

”Student Su, you’ve misunderstood. We would never think that!” Wu Daozi hastened to reply, ”Rest assured, we know you meant well!”

”You say that, but you don’t think so in your heart,” Su Yang sighed.

Wu Daozi was almost crying, ”Student Su, we... we really do think that... please believe us!”

Su Yang looked at Wu Daozi, ”Do you really think so?”

”Of course, of course!” Wu Daozi quickly said.

Su Yang scratched his head, ”But I still feel it’s not quite right.”

”Ah?” Wu Daozi was frantically frustrated, ”Then... what do you think would be the right way? Should we write you a promissory note or something...”

”There’s no need for that; of course, I trust both of you teachers!” Su Yang said with a laugh.

Wu Daozi sighed in relief and hurriedly reached out again to grab the suitcase but was once again blocked by Su Yang.

”However, even if I trust you, other people will surely still think I have ulterior motives,” Su Yang sighed.

”Who dares to think that? I’ll take care of them!” Wu Daozi immediately said, with a fierce and menacing look, as if ready to battle gods and Buddha alike.

Su Yang glanced at Wu Daozi and suddenly smiled, ”How about this? I have an idea. It’ll allow me to give you two the money without others gossiping. What do you think?”

Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang nodded vehemently. What could be bad about that under these circumstances?

”That’s settled then!” Su Yang nodded, ”This money is for you, but you must answer a few questions for me. It’s like paying for knowledge, how about that?”

Both Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang were taken aback for a moment; they exchanged glances, both appearing somewhat wary. After all Su Yang’s talking, his true intentions were finally showing.

”We don’t know much, involving us is akin to asking blindly!” Wu Daozi quickly said.

”Don’t worry, the questions I ask will certainly be within your ability to answer!” Su Yang assured with a smile.

”That’s not necessarily so!” Wu Daozi countered quickly.

”If you two have so little faith in yourselves, then let’s pretend I never mentioned it,” Su Yang put the suitcase aside, ”Teachers, we should go have dinner now, there’s no need to see you out.”

Both neared the point of spitting blood. Were they really going to lose the money they almost had in their hands?

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Daozi spoke in a low voice, ”Maybe we should give it a try.”

”That’s more like it!” Su Yang smiled, ”How would you know your full potential without giving it a shot?”

With that, Su Yang waved his hand, and the door to the private room closed. He also set up a small Array nearby so that if anyone approached, he’d immediately feel it, ensuring complete isolation.

Having completed all this, Su Yang then took out the Bronze Seal Script and laid it in front of Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang.

As he took out the Bronze Seal Script, Su Yang kept a close watch on the two old lamps. He noticed that when he revealed the Bronze Seal Script, their expressions visibly changed, showing surprise. This made Su Yang even more certain that these old lamps definitely knew the origins of the Bronze Seal Script!

”The first question, what is this thing!” Su Yang directly asked.

The origins of the Bronze Seal Script were certainly not simple, and it also seemed to resonate vaguely with the Destiny’s Tome within him; perhaps there was some significant secret hidden within.

Furthermore, with Su Ping’s mysterious situation, Su Yang couldn’t help but ponder his own background. Where had his father, Su Ping, been before coming to Nanluo City?

And with Su Ping urging him to attend Qinghe Academy, only for him to find a piece of Bronze Seal Script there, he couldn’t help but suspect that Qinghe Academy might be related to his own identity.

Since Su Ping wasn’t talking, Su Yang decided to investigate on his own.

He obviously couldn’t press the other teachers for information, which is why he targetted these two old lamps, planning to extract some information from them.

After all this trouble, bringing Xiao Huang along was secondary. Su Yang’s primary goal was to lure these two old lamps in and inquire about the Bronze Seal Script.

As for the Destiny’s Tome, Su Yang had no intention of bringing that out. He didn’t know much about the Destiny’s Tome but assumed it was something even more mysterious. Without the strength to ensure his absolute protection, he was not about to expose the Destiny’s Tome.

The two old lamps were shocked for a moment, but their expressions quickly returned to normal. They looked at each other, seemingly discussing something silently with their eyes.

After a moment, Wu Daozi picked up the Bronze Seal Script, examined it closely, and after pondering for a while, said, ”If I’m not mistaken, this should be a fragment that fell off some bronze vessel!”

”No shit!” Su Yang curtly countered, isn’t that obvious?

Wu Daozi let out an awkward smile and continued, ”Moreover, it’s carved with patterns and characters, probably a record of something.”

”Tell me something useful!” Su Yang slapped the cash box, using money to incentivize the two old lamps.

Wu Daozi scratched his head, pondered for a good while, and said in a low voice, ”Su Yang, I have a lot of research on ancient texts. How about this, you give me this piece of Bronze Seal Script first, and I’ll translate it for you when I get back? Of course, translating this stuff takes a lot of effort. If you can bring me two more suitcases like this next time, we might just make it happen!”
