Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1390: You Really Are a Hypocrite

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Young Master Zhang the Seventh gliding in from the air, quickly arriving in the middle of the courtyard.

After landing, Young Master Zhang the Seventh first clasped his hands and smiled at the refined gentleman, saying, ”Headmaster, long time no see, may you be unharmed!”

Su Yang was taken aback, this refined gentleman is actually the headmaster? The headmaster of Qinghe Academy?

The refined gentleman responded with a mild smile and a clasped hand gesture: ”Young Master Seven, greetings!”

Young Master Zhang the Seventh nodded with a faint smile, then turned his gaze to Old Zhang the Eighth and said in a stern voice, ”Little brother, how can you be so rude in front of an elder?”

Old Zhang the Eighth, scolded and full of indignation, muttered lowly, ”Brother Seven, they... they are obviously shielding that Su guy...”

”Nonsense!” Young Master Zhang the Seventh said sternly. ”The headmaster is a figure detached from the world, how could he do such a thing as to shield someone? If the headmaster says that the Su Brothers are part of Qinghe Academy, then it must be true!”

”But...” Old Zhang the Eighth still wanted to speak, but a glare from Young Master Zhang the Seventh made him swallow his words back down.

Young Master Zhang the Seventh smiled and loudly said, ”The matter tonight, I believe, must be a misunderstanding. Since the headmaster has personally come, there is no need to continue this fight. How about this, to give me face, can we all just drop this matter?”

The members of the Su Family of Yanbei exchanged looks. Although they were quite unwilling, the situation had become very clear. Qinghe Academy was fully supporting Su Yang, and if a real fight ensued, Su Liang and the others would probably end up dead right here; this battle was simply unwinnable. Thus, looking at the situation now, calling it quits seemed indeed the best course of action.

”I agree!” Su Liang said in a deep voice.

Young Master Zhang the Seventh glanced at Su Yang with an easy smile, to which Su Yang crisply responded in a cold voice, ”I disagree!”

The smile on Young Master Zhang the Seventh’s face faltered. These years in Capital City, he had been the spokesperson for the Martial Champion family. Whenever he spoke or took action, no one had ever opposed him. Even those formidable experts, the Terrestrial Immortals, had to behave courteously in his presence.

Yet this time, Su Yang had openly rejected his opinion, an unprecedented occurrence that also made him feel very uncomfortable inside.

Still, Young Master Zhang the Seventh kept a faint smile on his face, ”Brother Su, why insist on this? We all misunderstood each other, do you really want to fight to the death to determine a winner? I think it’s all completely unnecessary. Brother Su, why not give me face and let this go?”

”Face, I already gave that to you last time!” Su Yang said directly, ”Last time you didn’t let me kill Zhao Dongming, and I didn’t kill him. This time, you want me to spare Su Ze? Young Master Seven, you really are deliberately opposing me!”

Young Master Zhang the Seventh’s expression subtly changed. Su Yang’s words were a bit too blunt.

”Brother Su, you are misunderstanding...” Young Master Zhang the Seventh began with a smile.

”I have no such misunderstanding!” Su Yang bluntly interrupted him, ”Tonight’s incident is an issue between me and the Su Family of Yanbei. I truly can’t fathom why Young Master Seven and Young Master Eight are getting involved. What does that mean? Could it be that you are supporting the Su Family of Yanbei behind the scenes and have always been opposing me?”

Young Master Zhang the Seventh’s eyebrows knit together and Old Zhang the Eighth was furious, shouting, ”Su Yang, don’t be foolishly stubborn!”

”It’s not that I’m being stubbornly foolish, it’s that you’ve gone too far!” Su Yang retorted coldly, ”Every step I have taken in Capital City has been difficult. It can be said that I am besieged by enemies. To reach this point, luck and a fight for survival have guided me. And you, Old Zhang the Eighth, I have no grievances or enmities with you, nor have I ever offended your Zhang Family. Yet you jump out like a clown, clamoring that I have violated the rules of Capital City.”

”You dare insult me!” Old Zhang the Eighth roared in rage, nearly mad with fury.

”So what if I insult you!” retorted Su Yang coldly. ”If I were to fall into your hands, I would surely die. Given that, I might as well insult you thoroughly. What sort of thing are you that I should give face to you? What I do, who I want to kill, is that something you can manage? Poking your nose in here, do you really think the Martial Champion rules the world? Do you really believe you’re the crown prince of this world?”

”You... you...” Old Zhang the Eighth was trembling with rage, unable to utter another word.

Young Master Zhang the Seventh’s furrowed eyebrows deepened as he said sternly, ”Su Yang, mind your words. My father has been in seclusion for many years, detached from worldly affairs; please do not offend him!”

”Offend him?” Su Yang laughed. ”Is it me offending him, or are you bringing shame upon him yourselves? Tell me, what does the matter between me and the Su Family of Yanbei have to do with you? What are you doing here? Old Zhang the Eighth, explain this to me!”

Old Zhang the Eighth, grinding his teeth, said, ”You are too overbearing in your actions, killing countless people, breaking the rules of Capital City, you...”

”Shut your mouth!” Su Yang cut him off coldly. ”The rules of Capital City, are they set by you? Since when has your Zhang Family started to dictate rules for the entire Capital City? When did it come about that your word represents the will of the entire Capital City? Has every family in Capital City become subservient to your Zhang Family?”

”You...” Old Zhang the Eighth was so angry he could do nothing but glower speechlessly.

”You’ve gone too far!” Young Master Zhang the Seventh, also angered, spoke sternly: ”Su Yang, I have given you plenty of face, but you have insulted my Zhang Family’s people so blatantly. Could it be that you really think my Zhang Family is easy to bully?”

”You’ve given plenty of face?” Su Yang sneered. ”If tonight, the Su Family of Yanbei could firmly control the situation, would you still have intervened in this matter?”

”Of course!” Young Master Zhang the Seventh said flatly.

”Blatant lying without even blushing, you really are a hypocrite!” Su Yang said outright.

Young Master Zhang the Seventh was thoroughly enraged: ”Su Yang, do you truly wish to be my enemy?”

”It’s not that I wish to be your enemy, it’s that you want to be my enemy!” Su Yang retorted coldly. ”I don’t want to waste words on tonight’s incident. The Su Family of Yanbei came to kill me, and you knew it very clearly yet didn’t stop them. And now that the Su Family of Yanbei is losing, you come to intervene. To put it plainly, the Su Family of Yanbei can kill me, but I can’t kill them. Haha, indeed, I, Su Yang, have a life cheap enough that others may kill me, but I can’t kill in return. However, cheap as my life may be, I am not a man who fears a challenge. Let me tell you, tonight, this battle must go to the end. Old Zhang the Seventh, Old Zhang the Eighth, if you want to help them, then so be it, all of you come at me. Even if I die here today, I absolutely have no regrets!”

Young Master Zhang the Seventh’s face was filled with rage. He had thought that by stepping in personally, the matter could be resolved amicably. However, he hadn’t expected to encounter such vehement resistance from Su Yang.

Su Yang was like a wild beast that had been completely enraged, intent on tearing off the pretense; it was as if he were determined to fight to the death against the Martial Champion Family. Young Master Zhang the Seventh really couldn’t understand what had gotten into Su Yang!
