Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1362: Chapter 1361: Visit from the Owner of Xiao Huang

Su Yang was also worried about this matter. After saying goodbye to Ye Wantong, he hurriedly flew away.

Ye Wantong stood in the yard, staring blankly in the direction Su Yang disappeared, and only after a long while did she let out a soft sigh.

She really wanted Su Yang to stay with her a little longer, but she knew that Su Yang’s return this time was indeed hurried. Should Su Rui arrive in Pingnan Province, it would truly be dangerous, and Su Yang must rush back to check the situation. Otherwise, if Su Yang’s relatives there were really captured, it would be troublesome.

Su Yang quickly flew back to Nanluo City and as he landed in front of his family’s yard, he happened to see Qi’er standing there, feeding a few little birds with rice grains.

There were about twenty little birds in the yard, all circling around Qi’er, seeming to be very friendly towards her.

Among them was a little bird that Su Yang recognized very clearly as the one that had first followed Qi’er. Moreover, crucially, this little bird had previously been able to fight with Little Turtle.

Su Yang didn’t know the situation before, but after learning about Little Turtle’s situation, he was even more shocked in his heart. This little bird, looking like a sparrow, was actually able to fight with a Divine Beast. It must be extraordinary!

When the little birds saw Su Yang approach, most of them immediately flew away, but a few remained by Qi’er’s side, seemingly unafraid of people.

On seeing Su Yang, Qi’er was overjoyed, and hurried over: ”Brother Su, you’re back!”

Su Yang chuckled lightly, reaching out to stroke Qi’er’s hair. Not having seen her for so long, Qi’er had grown a lot taller and had become even more beautiful.

”How is everything at home?” Su Yang asked.

”Very good!” Qi’er nodded: ”It’s just that Uncle Su hasn’t come back yet.”

The Uncle Su that Qi’er mentioned was Su Yang’s father, Su Ping.

Since leaving last time, Su Ping had not returned home.

Su Yang first went to see Zhao Xuefen; Su Xia was doing her homework in the living room and, seeing Su Yang, she immediately ran over excitedly and clung to Su Yang’s neck without letting go.

Su Yang smiled faintly, holding the little girl and twirling around the room for two turns, then looked over the homework she had written, feeling an unusual calmness in his heart.

During this time, Zhao Xuefen also stopped going to work and just stayed at home. She took care of Su Yang’s sister, Su Xia, and waited for Su Ping to return.

In the past, when Su Ping was always at home, Zhao Xuefen thought he was incompetent and lacked ability. Now that Su Ping had left and was no longer at home, Zhao Xuefen found herself eagerly anticipating his return every day.

”Xiao Yang, you’re back!” Seeing Su Yang, Zhao Xuefen also looked somewhat disheveled, and she said in a low voice: ”Did your father... did he call you?”

”No!” Su Yang shook his head: ”What’s wrong?”

”No... nothing...” Zhao Xuefen hung her head, fell silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: ”I don’t know when he will be able to come back...”

Su Yang didn’t have much of a good impression of this woman, but after all, she was his father’s wife, and he at least had to show some respect.

”I don’t know; he should be back soon!” Su Yang replied softly, pondering over the matter himself. What exactly had Su Ping gone to do? And what secrets did he hold? What was the connection between Destiny’s Tome, the Su Family of Yanbei, and Su Zhan?

After his trip to Capital City, Su Yang’s doubts only grew. He always felt that the Secret Technique he was cultivating had some relation to Su Zhan. Perhaps, Su Ping might even know some secrets regarding Su Zhan’s disappearance. However, since Su Ping had left, there had been no news, and Su Yang was unable to find him to ask for clarity.

Zhao Xuefen nodded, then suddenly said, ”Oh, right, someone came looking for your father a few days ago!”

”Who?” Su Yang asked in surprise; it must be someone unfamiliar, otherwise Zhao Xuefen wouldn’t speak like this.

”I don’t know his name; he was a middle-aged man.” Zhao Xuefen said, ”He had a dog with him and wandered around our neighborhood for a bit, then specifically came to our place to ask if your father was home. After finding out your dad wasn’t there, he went to the place where we used to live. I heard from the neighbors that he lingered there for quite some time before leaving.”

”A middle-aged man, with a dog?” Su Yang asked, surprised, ”What did he look like?”

”Um...” Zhao Xuefen thought carefully and said, ”I can’t quite put my finger on it, that person... has no distinguishing features. The feeling is, that feeling is just... just...”

”Very ordinary?” Su Yang asked.

”Yes, yes, very ordinary!” Zhao Xuefen said, ”He’s the kind that could be thrown into a crowd and you wouldn’t be able to pick him out at a glance!”

Su Yang had a start; he had seen such a person, precisely the Owner of Xiao Huang.

Back when Su Yang went to Qinghe Academy, Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang were there with him. At that time, he even made a point of thanking Su Yang.

Based on Zhao Xuefen’s description, it was indeed very likely that this was the Owner of Xiao Huang. With a dog, wasn’t that Xiao Huang?

”What did the dog look like?” Su Yang asked.

”Yellow-colored, a Shiba Inu, not big,” Zhao Xuefen said. ”Oh, speaking of that dog, there’s something interesting. They came by while Qi’er was watering the flowers in the yard. You know how Qi’er keeps a few birds, right? For some reason, that dog took a liking to one of the birds, and they got into quite a scuffle. In the end, the bird pecked out several tufts of fur from its head, and only then did it obediently follow the middle-aged man away.”

”What?” Su Yang was taken aback, as he couldn’t believe that even Xiao Huang had been defeated by the bird accompanying Qi’er.

Previously, Little Turtle and that bird had fought each other, and in the end, Little Turtle didn’t gain any advantage. Now, Xiao Huang had come along, provoked that bird, and ended up getting a few tufts of fur pecked out, which left Su Yang utterly speechless.

Of course, Su Yang was even more astonished by that bird. What was the background of this bird, and how did it possess such strength? After all, Xiao Huang had been fierce enough to make Ge Kaiyang scream and howl!

Another thing was, what did this middle-aged man want with Su Yang’s father? Was it possible that he knew Su Yang’s father?

Su Yang had always felt that his father, Su Ping, was no ordinary man. However, he had never known his father’s identity or the situation surrounding it.

If this middle-aged man had come looking, could he perhaps understand some situations? Or say, could he know the true identity of Su Ping?

With this thought, Su Yang was moved. If so, finding this middle-aged man might lead to discovering his own identity.

But this idea was quickly dismissed by Su Yang himself. He didn’t know why his father, Su Ping, kept these secrets from him, but if he chose not to tell, there must be reasons, and Su Yang didn’t intend to inquire too soon!
