Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1288: My Family Head Invites You

Xiao Hei, having ingested the medicine begged for by Chen Benshuang, had seen quite a swift recovery these past few days. However, his previous injuries had been too severe, and by now his body had only recuperated to about sixty percent.

Still, Xiao Hei was of that restless sort. After staying here for a few days, he had reached his limit. With today’s recovery, he really didn’t wish to linger any longer and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Yet, Chen Benshuang was far from willing to let him go, given that the situation in Capital City was extremely chaotic. If Xiao Hei were to rashly venture out like this, who knows what dangers he might encounter, and that’s why she kept insisting that Xiao Hei stay.

Zi Nu watched from the doorway with clear vision; Chen Benshuang looked at Xiao Hei with eyes full of concern. This kind of sentiment had never before been seen from Chen Benshuang.

On the other hand, Xiao Hei was quite stubborn, insisting on leaving, resulting in a deadlock between the two of them.

Chen Benshuang was so anxious she was nearly in tears, her Miss’s temper entirely unexhibited here. If others were to see her now, they would undoubtedly be utterly astonished; this did not fit Chen Benshuang’s character at all.

Zi Nu watched from outside for a while, feeling helpless herself. When had Miss Chen ever been mistreated like this?

Seeing Chen Benshuang’s tears swirling in her eyes, Zi Nu could no longer bear it and charged straight into the room. To the shocked Xiao Hei, she landed a heavy palm strike to the back of his head, causing Xiao Hei to collapse onto the bed with a thud.

”What are you doing!” Chen Benshuang exclaimed in alarm, having never expected such an event to take place.

”Why waste words with him!” Zi Nu said with a dismissive grin. ”If you don’t want him to leave, just knock him out and keep him here. You think you can persuade him? Let me tell you, men are all the same; the more polite you are to them, the more important they think they are. You can’t coddle them!”

Chen Benshuang’s face flushed with color: ”I... I don’t want him to leave mere because his injuries haven’t healed. How can he go running about like this? My intention was for him to heal here before going out. It’s not good to run around in his condition...”

”If it’s not good, then don’t let him run.” Zi Nu said. ”I’ve told you, you can’t persuade a man like him. So, don’t even think about persuading him. Just be straightforward, knock him out and keep him here, then he won’t be able to run anywhere.”

Chen Benshuang looked helpless: ”Sister Zi Nu, you didn’t understand what I said. I mean, he’s injured, it’s not suitable for him to go outside. You... you knocked him out again, isn’t this adding injury to injury...”

”Yo, you’re too concerned about him.” Zi Nu smirked.

”I... I’m not concerned...” Chen Benshuang immediately became embarrassed: ”I... I was just saying, after all, he got hurt while saving me, we... we can’t treat a lifesaver like this. Gratitude and repayment... that’s what... what should be done...”

”Alright, you don’t have to explain, I understand.” Zi Nu waved her off: ”Miss, you’ve grown up and have your own thoughts, liking a boy isn’t wrong, you don’t need to be shy.”

”I... I’m not...” Chen Benshuang was flustered: ”How could I possibly like him...”

”Hehe...” Zi Nu looked at Chen Benshuang’s face, which was flushed red, and smiled silently.

Chen Benshuang was so embarrassingly shy she wished she could just crawl into a crack in the floor. After a long while, she finally spoke softly: ”Sister Zi Nu, don’t talk nonsense. He... he’s just my lifesaver. Besides, I... I am three years older than him...”

”There’s a saying that goes well, ’a woman three years older than a man is like a golden brick’”, Zi Nu chuckled. ”This age difference, I think it’s quite suitable.”

”Sister Zi Nu!” Chen Benshuang stomped her foot in urgency: ”I can’t talk to you!”

Chen Benshuang ran away in a fluster, leaving Zi Nu to laugh to herself. Turning to look at Xiao Hei who remained unconscious on the bed, Zi Nu’s face showed scorn; it was quite obvious she couldn’t understand why Chen Benshuang would take a fancy to someone like him.

However, thinking about what Su Yang had done in Capital City and how much Black Widow valued him, Zi Nu felt helpless again. The occurrences in Capital City this time truly baffled her.

She had originally thought that Su Yang, not knowing his place as a country bumpkin, would surely end up dead after making such a scene in Capital City.

Yet, not only had Su Yang survived, but he had also made it this far. Most crucially, he had managed to gain the considerable regard of not just Martial Champion but also Black Widow, which was indeed no small feat.

Carefully considering, Su Yang now also had Lü Donglin and Drunken Monk by his side. One was the Beigong War God’s own nephew, the other was Mahakasyapa’s prime disciple—both were extraordinary individuals. If these two were to earnestly support Su Yang, then Su Yang’s forces wouldn’t be weak at all, and he might indeed cause quite a stir in Capital City.

Thinking of all these things, Zi Nu felt somewhat irritated. She still couldn’t comprehend how Su Yang, this bumpkin from the countryside, could have come this far.

...

Su Yang, Lü Donglin, and Drunken Monk drank together until the late hours; Su Yang saw off the two men and returned to his room to rest.

He had just laid down for a short while when he suddenly sensed that something was amiss. He opened his eyes with a start, swiftly sitting up, only to find that two slender figures had inexplicably appeared at the doorway.

These two had only just arrived and were surprised that Su Yang immediately detected them. Nonetheless, their faces showed no visible reaction; they simply said softly, ”Young Master Su, our Family Head invites you to a meeting.”

Su Yang was truly startled to the core, knowing that he was currently staying at the Shen Family Courtyard, a place full of his subordinates. That these two women managed to reach him so silently, bypassing the vigilance of so many, was no easy feat.

Furthermore, Su Yang, with his capabilities, did not sense their presence until they reached the doorway, which was enough to shock him. Just how formidable were these two women?

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his astonishment, Su Yang said in a firm voice, ”Who is your master?”

”You’ll know once you arrive,” the woman replied.

Su Yang frowned: ”You want me to go without even mentioning a name?”

”Our master has said, we must invite Young Master Su,” the woman spoke softly. ”It would be best if Young Master Su is willing to accompany us. If you are unwilling, we will be forced to take offense.”

”You’re prepared to use force against me?” Su Yang’s voice deepened, his guard up. The master of these two women might not be someone to take lightly, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.

”Our master said, we must bring Young Master Su,” the woman stepped forward and said softly, ”so we hope Young Master Su won’t make this difficult for us.”

Su Yang saw it clearly; the woman dressed in red, fiery as flames.
