Chapter 10

The door was pushed open with a loud, rough sound.

Everyone in the private room frowned.

This was the Juxian Tower,

the top restaurant in Guangling City!

Who was so bold as to barge in without being invited?

It was simply outrageous!

Instinctively, everyone’s gaze turned to the intruder.

When they saw the intruder’s appearance, everyone, including Wen Lingxue and Nie Teng, had a slight change in their expressions.

What is this guy doing here?

“I heard that Lingxue was having a birthday party here, so I came uninvited, hahaha, I hope I didn’t scare anyone, right?”

The intruder was a young man, dressed in fine robes, with long, disheveled hair, a handsome face, and a strong smell of alcohol. His smile was unrestrained and arrogant.

Huang Ganjun!

A direct descendant of the Huang family, one of the three major clans in Guangling City, his father being the current clan leader, Huang Yunchong.

Huang Ganjun was known for his arrogant and reckless nature, being fierce and fond of fighting. Though only seventeen, he already had a long list of misdeeds, having committed countless acts that angered both heaven and man.

But with his father’s protection, he was still alive and well, which only fueled his arrogance even more.

When they recognized the intruder as Huang Ganjun, the girls in the private room, who had been about to get angry, all fell silent, their faces showing a hint of panic.

They had long heard of this young man’s notorious reputation.

Even Wen Lingxue and Nie Teng furrowed their brows, their expressions grave.

In the eyes of these young people from major clans, Huang Ganjun was a tyrant who acted without restraint, and no one wanted to associate with him, fearing him more than anything.

The atmosphere in the private room became extremely oppressive.

Only Su Yi remained calm, not recognizing Huang Ganjun, but he could see that Wen Lingxue and the others were tense and slightly panicked.

Clearly, they were extremely wary of this arrogant young man who had barged in.

“What does my birthday have to do with you? You’d better leave right now!” Taking a deep breath, Wen Lingxue spoke coldly, her face as cold as frost, not hiding her disdain and hatred.

But Huang Ganjun seemed completely unconcerned, his gaze roving over Wen Lingxue without restraint. He chuckled and said,

“Tsk, no wonder you’re Wen Lingzhao’s sister, you’re truly beautiful. Only a beauty like you deserves me.”

“You...”

Wen Lingxue’s face turned red with anger, her eyes blazing.

“Look at her, a beauty is a beauty, even when she’s angry, she’s still stunning. Don’t you think, if I marry her, the old man will be very pleased?”

Huang Ganjun laughed out loud.

Behind him, his guards laughed ambiguously.

The girls present all showed fear, instinctively looking at Nie Teng, pinning their hopes on the son of the city lord’s guard commander.

Nie Teng took a deep breath, knowing he had to step forward at this moment, or he would never be able to hold his head up again.

“Huang Shao, this is the Juxian Tower. Please show some respect. It won’t be good for anyone if the atmosphere is ruined.” Nie Teng said, trying to sound calm despite his nervousness.

Huang Ganjun’s originally smiling face suddenly turned serious, his eyes flashing with a violent look. “What are you, to dare lecture me?”

Nie Teng’s face turned pale, his expression fluctuating between anger and fear.

This scene made Su Yi realize that even Nie Teng was extremely wary of this arrogant young man.

“Sir, this is the son of the city lord’s guard commander, Nie Beihu. The clan leader and Nie Beihu have some connection,” a guard reminded him with a grin. “But, how things should be handled is entirely up to you.”

Huang Ganjun said, “Nie Teng, right? I’ll give you a chance. Disappear from my sight right now. Otherwise, I don’t mind beating you up and throwing you out onto the street like a dead dog.”

His smile was full of menace, his words filled with a threatening tone. “Then, you’ll become a laughingstock in the entire Guangling City, losing all your dignity and never being able to hold your head up again!”

Nie Teng’s body stiffened, his hands clenching tightly, his knuckles turning white, and the veins on his hands bulging. A mix of shame and anger filled his heart.

Seeing this, the girls present turned even paler, feeling even more helpless and desperate.

In the entire private room, no one had a higher status or position than Nie Teng. Seeing that even he couldn’t handle the situation, how could anyone not be worried?

At this moment, Wen Lingxue said coldly, “Huang Ganjun, what exactly do you want?”

Huang Ganjun clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes fixed on Wen Lingxue with a fiery gaze. “That’s a good question! Let me put it this way, soon, I’ll have my grandfather propose to your family. From then on, we’ll be one big happy family!”

His guards started cheering,

“Sir, you have good taste!”

“Everyone, look, that girl will be our young lady!”

“We should congratulate Sir in advance, ha ha.”

Wen Lingxue was both ashamed and angry, her eyes wide with fury. “Ridiculous! I, Wen Lingxue, would rather die than marry a scoundrel like you!”

Su Yi quietly stood up, a cold glint flashing in his otherwise calm eyes.

He stood there silently, his gaze indifferent.

If in the Great Wasteland of the Nine Provinces, those familiar with Su Xuanjun knew that the calmer his gaze and the more composed his expression, the more intense the killing intent in his heart!

“You shouldn’t speak so absolutely. Your sister Wen Lingzhao was so brilliant, but in the end, didn’t she still have to marry a waste like him?”

Huang Ganjun pointed at Su Yi, his face full of contempt and disdain. “I may be arrogant, but I also know that clan marriages are never decided by us young people!”

Pausing for a moment, he laughed again, his tone arrogant and overbearing. “Wen Lingxue, I advise you to be prepared. Within a month, my family will definitely make your family agree to marry you to me!”

Wen Lingxue’s face turned pale, her body trembling slightly.

Huang Ganjun’s words had struck a deep chord in her heart!

Back then, her sister had resisted that marriage so much, and even her parents had strongly opposed it, but in the end, they couldn’t go against the will of the old matriarch and had to marry her sister to her husband.

This reality made Wen Lingxue worry that if Huang Ganjun really proposed, her family might treat her the same way.

Thinking of this, Wen Lingxue bit her lip so hard it almost bled, her heart filled with panic, her eyes becoming vacant. Would she really end up marrying a young man with a long list of misdeeds?

If so, she might as well kill herself!

“Don’t worry, this won’t happen to you.”

A warm hand placed on Wen Lingxue’s shoulder, and she looked up to see Su Yi’s gentle and calm face.

“Brother-in-law...” Wen Lingxue, feeling lost and helpless, felt a warm comfort, her voice trembling with emotion.

“This gathering has lost its charm. Would you like me to take you home?”

Su Yi said softly.

“Okay!”

Wen Lingxue nodded instinctively, but then showed a worried look. “Brother-in-law... them...”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Su Yi patted her shoulder, his voice gentle.

Turning to Nie Teng and the other girls, he asked, “Do you want to leave?”

Nie Teng and the others were stunned, almost dumbfounded.

Was Su Yi crazy?

Didn’t they see that Huang Ganjun and his guards were still blocking the door?

Who could imagine that a man who had lost his cultivation and was mocked by everyone in Guangling City would dare say such things?

“Ha, what did you just say? You want to take them out of here?”

Huang Ganjun scratched his ear, laughing exaggeratedly. “Su Yi, you’re a waste, yet you speak more arrogantly than I do. Who... gave you the courage?”

The guards also laughed uncontrollably, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

“Su Yi, stop causing trouble, okay?!”

Nie Teng was annoyed, his face dark and stern. “I’ll handle this. You stay put! If you cause more trouble, don’t blame me for not taking care of you!”

These words were firm and resolute, and the girls were moved, feeling that Nie Teng was showing the courage and strength of a true man at this moment!

Compared to Su Yi’s previous behavior... it was really too infuriating!

A waste, relying on just his words, wanted to take them out of here?

Ridiculous!

“Since you’re a young man, you should have this kind of passion. At this moment, you haven’t disappointed me.”

Su Yi glanced at Nie Teng and nodded.

Nie Teng was taken aback. What was this guy’s tone... how...

Before he could react, Huang Ganjun, who was blocking the door, showed a look of impatience and waved his hand,

“Go, take that waste down, strip him, and hang him at the city gate. I want everyone in the city to see his disgrace!”

“You got it, Sir!”

A guard, eager to act, rushed forward.

“Kid, let’s play!”

This guard was tall and muscular, his face full of scars, giving off a strong sense of intimidation. The girls around him turned pale, frightened by his fierce appearance.

Yang Sheng!

A capable guard under Huang Ganjun, with a Bloodline Realm cultivation at the “Flesh Refinement” stage. His body was as hard as steel, his strength like that of a bull, and he was skilled in the “Great Boulder Hand” technique.

A single strike could break bones and cause severe injuries.

As he spoke, he swung his palm, the force like a boulder being thrown, the wind from his palm fierce. If it hit, it would surely cause serious injuries.

“Brother-in-law, watch out!”

Wen Lingxue cried out in alarm, her face losing all color. At her distance, she couldn’t do anything to stop it.

“Don’t panic, this kind of brute is just a stuffed dummy.”

In a calm voice, Su Yi’s lean and tall figure moved.

Stepping forward, he moved like an eagle catching a rabbit, grabbing Yang Sheng’s pulse with one hand, and then exerting force with his arm.

With a flick of his wrist,

Yang Sheng, the muscular and robust man, stumbled, his body shaking like a bedsheet, his strength completely shattered by this flick.

The flick was like a sudden burst of force.

This was a highly skilled technique of exerting force.

At its highest level, once the opponent was hit, their flesh, bones, and internal organs would be shattered into pieces.

At this moment, although Yang Sheng didn’t die on the spot, his internal organs were severely damaged.

Following this, Su Yi kicked out.

Bang!

In the incredulous gazes of everyone, Yang Sheng’s body flew through the air, crashing into the wall of the private room.

His body convulsed violently, blood streaming from his seven orifices.

Everyone was stunned.
