Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1129: Chapter 1128: She Is Here to Find You

Su Yang was chatting with Lü Donglin when suddenly a girl’s voice came from outside the dormitory building: ”Lü Donglin, come out!”

Lü Donglin gave a wry smile: ”Speak of the devil and he shall appear. We just finished talking about her, and here she comes. Brother Su, I need to step out for a bit.”

Su Yang nodded, and Lü Donglin rose to go downstairs. Bai Qing did not follow him but continued to stay with those girls.

Watching Lü Donglin leave, Su Yang said in a low voice, ”It seems Brother Lü really gives the Black Widow face!”

”Black Widow helped my brother out once before, so he’s always kept it in mind,” Bai Qing said. ”And although Chen Benshuang can be a bit wild and overbearing, she’s not a bad person at heart. That’s quite commendable. As long as it’s not too outrageous, my brother tends to go along with her.”

Su Yang suddenly understood. He had noticed that Lü Donglin didn’t even bother with the apprentice to the Martial Champion, which showed his lofty character. But now, Chen Benshuang had called him out with just a few words, which was indeed surprising.

After Bai Qing’s explanation, Su Yang knew what was going on. Being indebted to someone made things different.

Lü Donglin stepped out for about ten minutes before returning with a helpless look on his face. He sighed as soon as he walked into the room and said softly, ”Brother Su, this matter has become troublesome.”

”What’s wrong?” Su Yang asked. ”Is she planning to back up those people from Capital City?”

”It’s not about backing up the people from Capital City; she’s come specifically for you,” Lü Donglin said. ”She heard that you fought Chen Benhao to a draw and disrupted the marriage between the Su Family of Yanbei and the Ye Family, thinking you’ve slapped the Chen Family in the face. So, she’s come to seek revenge on you!”

Su Yang frowned: ”This is Qinghe Academy. It’s not her place to call the shots here, is it?”

”She’s also a student at Qinghe Academy!” Lü Donglin said softly, ”Of the three great beauties of Qinghe Academy, she’s one of them.”

”Is that so?” Su Yang’s eyes widened in surprise: ”Aren’t the three beauties all in the lower classes? She’s in a lower class?”

Lü Donglin said with resignation: ”I also just found out that she used a different name and joined a lower class. She originally planned to rely on her skills to advance quickly to the higher levels. But because of some family matters, she simply registered and then never showed up again. Last night, after those dandies from Capital City were beaten and sent back, she heard about it, and this morning she came looking for you.”

Su Yang was speechless; Chen Benshuang truly was a rare breed.

”What exactly does she want to do?” Su Yang asked in a deep voice.

Lü Donglin said helplessly, ”From the looks of it, she probably wants to defeat you, to vent her anger. Plus, she wants you to publicly apologize to the Chen Family and the Su Family to regain face for them.”

”Is she dreaming?” Su Yang’s voice turned colder; the matter with Ye Wantong was something he would never apologize for.

Lü Donglin said, ”That’s what I told her, so now she’s waiting downstairs, ready to knock your teeth out.”

Su Yang stood up immediately: ”So, she’s waiting for me to go down and fight her?”

”But I told her that you sustained severe injuries last night and can’t fight for a short while,” Lü Donglin added, then shrugged, ”She’s given you a week’s time to recover before she personally comes to defeat you.”

Su Yang’s expression turned icy: ”Hmph, even with severe injuries, I’m not someone she can bully!”

Lü Donglin sighed, speaking in a low voice: ”Brother Su, really, what’s the point? This marriage matter involves the Su Family of Yanbei. You may be very strong and talented, but provoking the Su Family of Yanbei is unwise. In my opinion, why not just take this opportunity to step down. If you lose a move or two to her, I can step in and mediate, and we can let bygones be bygones. Why insist on making an enemy out of the Su Family of Yanbei?”

Su Yang gave Lü Donglin a look, then slowly shook his head: ”Brother Lü, I appreciate the sentiment. But on this matter, I cannot compromise. They can defeat me or even kill me, but I still have to hold my ground!”

”Bottom line?” Lü Donglin was slightly astonished; he just couldn’t understand what Su Yang’s bottom line was in this matter.

”Do you really like Ye Wantong?” Lü Donglin asked softly.

Su Yang was taken aback; he didn’t know how to answer. To say he liked her, but the truth was, he hadn’t thought that far. To say he didn’t, yet occasionally, Su Yang’s heart would recall the swordswoman clad in white like snow.

However, Su Yang wasn’t about to discuss likes or dislikes now. When Su Yang had nearly died at the hands of Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, Ye Wantong had given him her most precious Immortal Herbs, saving his life. Leaving everything else aside, just for that kindness alone, Su Yang needed to repay her.

Ye Wantong did not wish to marry into the Su Family of Yanbei, but the Ye Family was hesitant to refuse. So, it was up to Su Yang to be the villain. As long as Su Yang did not back down, he would continue to support this matter. So, on this issue, Su Yang truly had a bottom line, one he must maintain!

Seeing Su Yang not responding, Lü Donglin sighed. Although he wasn’t clear on all the details, he knew that it was futile to persuade further.

”Brother Su, I don’t know what else to say to you. Just be very careful in resolving this,” Lü Donglin said: ”If you really anger Chen Benshuang, what follows is not just the Black Widow but the Su Family of Yanbei!”

Su Yang slowly nodded, fully aware of the situation, yet his decision was already made.

Lü Donglin guessed Su Yang’s thoughts from his expression and said no more.

In the afternoon, Chen Benshuang came looking for Lü Donglin again and issued an ultimatum to Su Yang—a duel to the death in two weeks.

But the timeframe was changed by Su Yang. He told her directly that they would fight in three days.

Lü Donglin stood in the middle, quite helpless, unable to say anything. He owed the Black Widow a favor, but he also considered Su Yang a friend. Stuck in the middle, he found it difficult; supporting either side seemed wrong, so he had to remain neutral.

However, Huang Lin and the others, hearing the news, were quite excited.

They had been brought back by Chen Benshuang, and discovering that Lü Donglin was indifferent to the matter made them immediately elated.

Staying at Qinghe Academy meant they had a chance to enter the top ten. Moreover, since Lü Donglin was so accommodating to Chen Benshuang, they felt the likelihood of Lü Donglin expelling them from the academy was low, and their chances of entering the top ten were even higher.
