Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1138 Just Friends?

After a long silence, Hu Xiexie spoke in a low voice, ”I just want to see my mother and then leave. Is that really not possible?”

”It is possible!” Huo Yuanzhen nodded, ”But you must possess enough strength. You must be able to break into Jade Maiden Peak, and moreover, you must be able to break out from it. Otherwise, it’s impossible!”

Hu Xiexie was stunned. This was a Superlunary Sect that even the Law Enforcers couldn’t interfere with. To break in and then out, what kind of person could accomplish that?

”Not one of the Ten Great Sects is simple. Even the leaders of the Ten Great Sects can’t just kill their way into and out of any other sect. In this world, the number of people who can do this is extremely few, not even enough to count on one hand!” Huo Yuanzhen looked at Hu Xiexie, ”Do you think you can cultivate to that level?”

Hu Xiexie fell silent; her cultivation talent was indeed not bad. But to cultivate to that extent was basically impossible.

”Is there really no other way to enter Jade Maiden Peak?” Su Yang couldn’t help but ask.

”To enter Jade Maiden Peak, you either need to become Jade Maiden Peak’s successor, or you need to have enough clout to become a guest of Jade Maiden Peak. Otherwise, you must have enough strength to freely enter and leave Jade Maiden Peak!”

Huo Yuanzhen continued, ”But becoming a guest of Jade Maiden Peak is even more difficult. To start with, there are only women in Jade Maiden Peak, so the guests of Jade Maiden Peak can only be women too. Even if they are leaders of the Ten Great Sects, if they are men, they have no chance of becoming guests of Jade Maiden Peak, no entitlement to enter it. As for ordinary mortals, heh, Jade Maiden Peak has always had lofty standards, and the Ten Great Sects are pretty much the same. Who would treat a mortal as a guest?”

Su Yang’s expression changed slightly. Though reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that without enough strength, indeed nobody would take you seriously.

Huo Yuanzhen said, ”That’s why I made it very clear earlier. The only way you can enter Jade Maiden Peak is to become its successor. And once you become the successor, it means you will be forever confined to Jade Maiden Peak. You cannot marry, and you cannot have worldly emotions. So how you decide is still up to you!”

Hu Xiexie fell into silence; she really didn’t know how to choose regarding this matter.

Su Yang stood by, not knowing what to say. After all, this was about Hu Xiexie’s mother, the single dream and hope she had held onto for so many years.

After a moment of silence, seeing that Hu Xiexie did not speak, Huo Yuanzhen said, ”You still have some time to think about it. It’s best you make up your mind yourself. Su Yang, I came to find you because there is another matter I want to discuss with you.”

”What is it?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”Our business here in Capital City is almost concluded. We will be leaving after some time. It just so happens that you have done quite well at Qinghe Academy. Next, I will have Huo Qianfang come to Qinghe Academy, and then she will go to Thousand Snow Palace,” Huo Yuanzhen said.

”Thousand Snow Palace?” Su Yang frowned. This was one of the Ten Great Sects that Lü Donglin had mentioned before. But after what Huo Yuanzhen said about Jade Maiden Peak, Su Yang didn’t have a good impression of the Ten Great Sects, and now Huo Yuanzhen wanted to send Huo Qianfang to Thousand Snow Palace. What for?

”Don’t be surprised. She’s going to Thousand Snow Palace because there’s a rather important matter to attend to,” Huo Yuanzhen explained, ”Moreover, the cultivation techniques of Thousand Snow Palace suit her well. In addition, Thousand Snow Palace doesn’t have as many rules as Jade Maiden Peak. So, even if she goes to Thousand Snow Palace, she will still be able to come out to see you later. Furthermore, with your strength being strong enough to gain approval from Thousand Snow Palace, you can marry her, so don’t worry.”

”I... I’m not worried...” Su Yang said, speechless.

”What do you mean by this?” Huo Yuanzhen immediately glared at him, ”What? You don’t want to gain the approval of Thousand Snow Palace, don’t want to marry my Qianfang? Are you planning to abandon her after leading her on?”

”No, that’s not it, I... How could I be abandoning her? There’s nothing between Miss Huo and me!” Su Yang was bewildered. He really didn’t have anything with Huo Qianfang.

”Is that so? You’re saying my Qianfang isn’t good enough for you?” Huo Yuanzhen said angrily.

Su Yang became anxious, ”It’s not that, I...”

”Not that? Then what do you mean? Make yourself clear!” Huo Yuanzhen demanded.

Su Yang said awkwardly, ”I... Miss Huo and I haven’t met many times, and we are just ordinary friends, I mean...”

”Ordinary friends? Ordinary friends? Ordinary friends?” Huo Yuanzhen repeated three times, then suddenly glared at him, ”Ordinary friends, and you stayed a whole night with my Qianfang in a hotel room? Is this how you treat your ordinary friends?”

Hu Xiexie immediately looked at Su Yang, and he felt a sudden urge to vomit blood. He was most innocent in that incident.

”Elder sister, that time was... it was her who insisted I stay there; I wanted to leave, but she... she was making a scene, threatening to do something rash...” Su Yang said anxiously, ”Moreover, nothing happened between us, I mean... nothing at all...”

”Spare me the excuses!” Huo Yuanzhen said indignantly, ”A girl’s reputation is most important. After what happened between you and my Qianfang, you must take responsibility. Let me tell you, you better cultivate diligently. If you can’t gain the approval of Thousand Snow Palace, I’ll be the first to come after you!”

”You... That’s unreasonable...” Su Yang was flustered.

”I am an unreasonable person, got a problem with that?” Huo Yuanzhen glared, ”You disagree? Shall we settle this with a fight?”

Su Yang immediately fell silent. Fighting Huo Yuanzhen? That was asking for a beating. Sure, Huo Yuanzhen wouldn’t kill him, but she would certainly straighten him out.

”This matter is settled then, take care of yourself!” Huo Yuanzhen waved her hand dismissively, ”I’m going on a trip soon. In the meantime, don’t leave Capital City, I have a task for you here.”

”Me? Doing something for you? I... I have my own business, I’m very busy...” Su Yang widened his eyes, incredulous. Huo Yuanzhen was ordering him around as if he were a servant, completely lacking self-awareness.

Huo Yuanzhen threatened, ”If you don’t handle this matter to my satisfaction, I’ll move into your house and not leave. When you have finished the task for me, I’ll consider leaving. Your choice!”

Su Yang felt like coughing up blood. If this matriarch were to stay at his house, he would never have peace again! It was clear that if he didn’t do this task, Huo Yuanzhen wasn’t going to let him off the hook.

”So... what do you want me to do?” Su Yang asked helplessly.

”Deal with that Chen Benhong for me, teach him a good lesson. If possible, deal with his father and his grandfather too!” Huo Yuanzhen commanded.
