Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1360: Return to Pingnan Province

Su Yang pondered for a while: ”Let’s heed Black Widow’s advice and take it one step at a time. I reckon that the Su Family of Yanbei will soon make a move against Ge Kaiyang and his group. In fact, I suspect they are very likely not to strike at me in the short term. During this time, Capital City will remain very calm, with everyone watching the Su Family of Yanbei’s actions. As long as the Su Family of Yanbei hasn’t launched a major offensive against me, no one else in the Capital City will go after me for a short while!”

Lü Donglin thought for a moment: ”Do you mean that Su Ze has other plans?”

Su Yang nodded: ”The crux of the problem now is that we don’t know what exactly he is planning, how he wants to do it, or what his ultimate target is. If his goal was simply to deal with me and Ge Kaiyang, that would be straightforward—given the strength of the Su Family of Yanbei, he would not need such a plan. Therefore, I guess there must be a bigger objective in his plan!”

Having said this, Su Yang couldn’t help but glance at Lü Donglin, after all, the Beigong War God had quite a deep feud with the Su Family of Yanbei.

Lü Donglin shook his head: ”Their target is definitely not us. Although Su Ze is arrogant and egocentric, he’s well aware that the Su Family of Yanbei can’t get the better of my uncle. However, now that you mention it, I do have an idea!”

”What idea?” Su Yang asked eagerly.

”I think their target is probably Black Widow,” Lü Donglin said gravely.

”Black Widow?” Su Yang was astonished. He knew that Black Widow and the Su Family of Yanbei were not on good terms, but he did not expect Su Ze to have such longstanding plans against Black Widow. How deep must the hatred be?

”About this matter, I’ll go and inform Black Widow,” Lü Donglin said with gravity.

”That’s good!” Su Yang nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: ”I plan to return to Pingnan Province for a trip!”

”Ah?” Lü Donglin was surprised: ”What for?”

”You guys said before that Su Rui came out with Su Ze,” Su Yang said gravely: ”But I didn’t see Su Rui by Su Ze’s side, and I’m worried that he may have gone to Pingnan Province.”

After thinking it over, Lü Donglin nodded: ”That’s something to be cautious about. Do you need me to arrange some people to accompany you to Pingnan Province?”

”That won’t be necessary,” Su Yang shook his head: ”I can go by myself. However, Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier are in Capital City, so I’ll have to trouble you to look after them.”

”No problem at all!” Lü Donglin said with a smile.

Su Yang nodded and without further delay in that place, he set off alone and rushed to Pingnan Province overnight.

Although Su Ze seemed quite angry when he was speaking, in reality, Su Yang could still detect the mockery in his eyes and that sense of smugness.

Su Yang did not know where Su Ze’s confidence came from, and with the absence of Su Rui, he couldn’t help but worry about Pingnan Province. His increasing concern was compounded by his inability to contact the Sword Saint before. If Su Rui had indeed gone to Pingnan Province, then he must go and check immediately.

After his breakthrough to the Venerable Realm, Su Yang was able to fly long distances. He did not stop along the way and in two hours, he hurried back to Pingnan Province.

The first stop for Su Yang was the provincial city, and naturally, he headed straight for the Ye Family upon arrival.

Standing above the Ye Family residence, Su Yang could see from afar a woman dressed in white practicing swordplay in the backyard, who was none other than Ye Wantong.

After many days apart, Ye Wantong seemed even more graceful than before. After sword practice, her celestial bearing became more pronounced, making her appear even more like a true fairy than before.

Seeing Ye Wantong again, Su Yang’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. If there truly was a woman in his heart, Ye Wantong would definitely rank first.

Observing from a distance for a while, and seeing no one around, Su Yang quietly descended.

Unexpectedly, before Su Yang even landed in the courtyard, he suddenly felt a powerful force violently approaching.

Startled, Su Yang instantly turned his body and narrowly dodged the attack in the nick of time.

”Who dares!” Accompanied by a cold shout, a figure charged out, heading straight for Su Yang. The speed was so shocking that even with Su Yang’s current strength, it was difficult to withstand.

At this moment, Ye Wantong below also saw Su Yang in the sky. Her heart jumped and she quickly said, ”Uncle Gu, stop, he’s my friend!”

The figure finally halted, and only now Su Yang could see clearly that it was Gwu Jihan, who had previously joined forces with Assassination Star and Smiling Buddha to besiege Ye Jiansheng.

Su Yang was stunned. How did Gwu Jihan get here? And what was this about? Ye Wantong even called him Uncle Gu?

Gwu Jihan gave Su Yang a glance, said nothing, turned, and left, quickly disappearing from sight.

Ye Wantong’s face flushed, and she hurried over to Su Yang: ”Su Yang, you... what brings you here?”

Seeing Ye Wantong brought a wave of relief to Su Yang’s heart. He gave a slight smile: ”I’ve returned to Nanluo City, and I took the chance to come see you.”

Ye Wantong’s face became even more flushed, and her heart swelled with sweetness. She chuckled lightly and said, ”Then your timing is perfect, I just finished practicing my swordplay. Had you come earlier, I might have taken a stab at you with my sword!”

”Hahaha...” Su Yang laughed: ”By the way, where’s your father?”

”I don’t know!” Ye Wantong shook her head: ”He came back a while ago, brought Uncle Gu as protection for our Ye Family, and then he left again. I have no idea where he went!”

Astounded, Su Yang whispered, ”This Gwu Jihan, wasn’t he the Divine Sovereign before? He... wasn’t he and your father sworn enemies?”

”Uh...” Ye Wantong spoke softly, ”It’s not exactly like that. My father did defeat him, and the two don’t share an irreconcilable hatred. Besides, during the years Gwu Jihan was locked up in the dungeon, my father found his young son and took him in. He didn’t let him enter the martial path, but even as an ordinary person, he’s living well. Uncle Gu remembers these kindnesses. Even though he still fights with my father, they aren’t truly sworn enemies!”

Unaware of these events, Su Yang couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this: ”I see, that’s great then.”

”Great?” Ye Wantong was puzzled.

Su Yang did not conceal anything, briefly explaining the situation in the Capital City, including that concerning Su Rui.

”Su Rui didn’t go to Capital City, I’m worried he might come to Pingnan Province. That’s why I especially came back to check.” Su Yang said: ”Now that the Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan is here protecting you, the Ye Family will surely be safe.”

Ye Wantong nodded: ”We’re fine here, hurry back to Nanluo City to check. Su Rui and Su Ze are alike in temperament; that’s why they are such good friends. If Su Rui comes to Pingnan, I think it’s very likely he’ll target your family and friends!”
