Chapter 12

Outside the Immortal Gathering Pavilion.

Wen Lingxue and her classmates hurried away.

Before leaving, many of them couldn't help but take another look at Su Yi.

Who would have thought that in the face of Huang Ganjun's aggressive pressure, Nie Teng, whom they had pinned their hopes on, could only endure, while Su Yi, whom they had once despised, would bring them such a great surprise?

"Su Yi, this favor... I will repay it!"

After hesitating for a moment, Nie Teng said these words and then turned to leave.

This boy, who liked to show off, was clearly somewhat dispirited after this incident.

"This guy isn't bad."

Su Yi smiled, knowing that gratitude was a virtue.

"Sister-in-law, about what happened just now..."

Wen Lingxue opened her mouth to speak.

"Let's go home first."

Su Yi smiled and interrupted, walking forward.

"Alright."

Wen Lingxue forced down her worries and hurriedly followed.

"Lingxue, after today's events, there will be two possible outcomes."

As they were about to reach the Wen family residence, Su Yi thought for a moment and said in a gentle voice, "One, Huang Ganjun will go home and find help; two, he will choose to endure in silence."

Wen Lingxue said anxiously, "That rich kid, after suffering such a big loss today, how could he possibly endure in silence? He will definitely seek revenge!"

Su Yi nodded and said, "That's true, but even if he seeks revenge, he will only target me. That's all."

Wen Lingxue became even more worried. She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, today's events were caused by me. I will not let you get hurt!"

The young girl's delicate and beautiful face was filled with determination.

"Don't worry, this matter isn't as serious as you think."

Su Yi smiled and patted the girl's head.

Wen Lingxue responded absentmindedly, "Sister-in-law, I... I'll go back first."

With that, she turned and rushed into the Wen family residence.

Su Yi shook his head helplessly, "Silly girl, even if you ask your parents for help, they won't care."

Then he smiled, being cared for and worried about was a good thing.

As for what happened at the Immortal Gathering Pavilion today, it was nothing to Su Yi.

...

"What? That freeloader Su Yi actually beat up Huang Ganjun?"

In the hall, after hearing the whole story from Wen Lingxue, Qin Qing couldn't sit still, her face full of shock.

Wen Changtai, standing beside her, almost couldn't believe his ears.

Huang Ganjun.

This was the legitimate son of the Huang family patriarch, Huang Yunchong!

"If it weren't for Sister-in-law today, I would have been bullied by Huang Ganjun. He even said he would come to propose in a few days and treat me badly after marrying me!"

Wen Lingxue's eyes were filled with tears as she complained, "Mother, you must help Sister-in-law this time!"

Qin Qing was furious, gritting her teeth, "I've heard that Huang Ganjun is a degenerate, doing all sorts of evil deeds. I never thought he would target my daughter!"

"But..."

Qin Qing frowned, "With my abilities, I can't easily resolve this... It's all your father's fault!"

She glared fiercely at Wen Changtai.

Wen Changtai smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "This matter was caused by Su Yi, what does it have to do with me?"

Wen Lingxue said anxiously, "Mother, if you don't handle this, I'll write to my sister for help. She is now a disciple of the Tianyuan Academy..."

Qin Qing slapped her thigh and her eyes lit up, "That's right, your sister's status and position are already different!"

She had an idea and stood up, "I'll go to the patriarch. For Lingzhao's sake, I don't believe the patriarch will ignore this."

Wen Lingxue immediately smiled and said happily, "Mother, go quickly!"

"Silly girl, I'm helping you, and incidentally helping that freeloader Su Yi."

Qin Qing said irritably.

"It's all the same."

Wen Lingxue smiled brightly.

...

Clan Hall.

"Su Yi, that freeloader... actually beat up Huang Ganjun and his guards?"

Upon learning Qin Qing's intentions, Clan Patriarch Wen Changjing was also stunned, feeling it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Uh..."

Qin Qing was taken aback. That's right, Su Yi, the freeloader, has no cultivation at all!

"Patriarch, regardless, Lingxue was bullied by Huang Ganjun. If he seeks revenge, our Wen family can't ignore it."

Qin Qing's face was full of worry, "When Lingzhao married Su Yi, I had thoughts of ending my life. If Lingxue encounters any misfortune, I... I won't be able to live!"

Saying this, she covered her face and cried.

Wen Changjing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Of course, I will handle this. Lingxue is our Wen family member, how can she be bullied by the Huang family?"

Qin Qing was immediately grateful and said, "With the patriarch's words, I am reassured!"

Wen Changjing shook his head and said coldly, "Don't be too happy yet. I only said I would protect Lingxue, not Su Yi. No matter what, this matter was caused by him, and he must bear the consequences."

Qin Qing's heart sank, and she hesitated, "Patriarch, if it weren't for Su Yi stepping up, Lingxue would have been bullied. What do you think..."

Wen Changjing coldly interrupted, "Sister-in-law, I remember you used to despise this son-in-law the most. Why are you now speaking well of him?"

"Don't forget, a few days ago, your son-in-law offended Wei Zhenyang in front of all of us. I haven't even settled that matter with him yet!"

His tone was stern, filled with anger.

Qin Qing stiffened, feeling embarrassed. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Changjing interrupted again, saying:

"The day after tomorrow is the old matriarch's eightieth birthday. I have many things to attend to. You can leave now!"

This was a clear dismissal.

Qin Qing didn't dare to persist and hurriedly left.

When she returned to her courtyard, she saw Wen Lingxue waiting anxiously.

"Mother, how did it go?"

The young girl asked hopefully.

Qin Qing forced a smile and said vaguely, "The patriarch has agreed to intervene. It's fine now, Lingxue. You should return to the Songyun Sword Mansion early tomorrow and stay there. Huang Ganjun won't dare to bother you."

"Okay! This way, Sister-in-law won't be bullied either!"

The young girl nodded happily, overjoyed.

Qin Qing felt a bit guilty, consoling herself, "Su Yi is an outsider. Even if he is beaten by the Huang family, as long as he doesn't die, it's not a big problem..."

"By the way, Lingxue, has your Sister-in-law's cultivation recovered?" Qin Qing suddenly remembered this.

Wen Lingxue shook her head, "I'm not sure, but in front of my Sister-in-law, Huang Ganjun and his guards were completely no match."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, recalling the scenes of Su Yi's actions at the Immortal Gathering Pavilion.

Thinking about it now, she was still excited.

"I've long seen through this guy. In the past year, he has endured so many cold glances and ridicule, but who has ever seen him get angry?"

"On the night your sister returned, this guy made Wei Zhenyang so angry with just a few words, and even disrupted the entire situation. How could a wimp do that?"

"I need to find an opportunity to ask him clearly!"

Qin Qing sneered, as if she had seen through all of Su Yi's secrets.

Wen Lingxue smiled but didn't respond, thinking to herself, "My Sister-in-law is naturally very capable!"

...

Guangling City, Huang Family.

The golden and splendid hall was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Huang Ganjun knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse, "Father, I was wrong. I accept the punishment and will work hard to cultivate. One day, I will repay this humiliation tenfold, a hundredfold!"

On the main seat of the hall, Clan Patriarch Huang Yunchong had an expressionless face, silent.

His tall and imposing figure, dressed in a wide-sleeved black robe, exuded an aura like a deep sea or a vast mountain. Sitting there casually, he looked like a dragon coiled or a tiger crouching.

The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive, making Huang Ganjun feel suffocated.

After a long time, Huang Yunchong suddenly stood up and laughed, "My son, with this resolve, you will surely become a great man in the future! Get up. Tomorrow, I will meet Su Yi and discuss this matter. The location will be the Immortal Gathering Pavilion!"

Huang Ganjun was taken aback, "Father, this is just a small matter, why should you go personally?"

Huang Yunchong walked forward and helped his son up, saying, "You don't understand. When you beat a dog, you look at its owner, let alone that you are my son, Huang Yunchong!"

His eyes glinted coldly, and his tone was icy, "I will also use this opportunity to let everyone in Guangling City know that you are my Achilles' heel. Anyone who dares to touch you will suffer the same fate as Su Yi!"

Huang Ganjun was both surprised and delighted, "Father, you... plan to destroy him personally?"

"Destroy him? No, I will make him wish he were dead, humiliated to the extreme. You'll see tomorrow."

Huang Yunchong spoke casually, as if it were the most trivial matter.

...

At the window desk.

Su Yi sat there, writing with a brush, the elegant and powerful characters leaping onto the paper.

When night fell, Su Yi put down his brush, and the desk was piled with a thin stack of paper filled with writing.

"I will give this breathing technique to Lingxue tomorrow morning."

Su Yi thought to himself.

Today was Wen Lingxue's sixteenth birthday, but due to his negligence, he forgot to prepare a gift.

So, he decided to give her a cultivation technique as a gift.

What Su Yi didn't expect was—

When he went to find Wen Lingxue the next morning, he was told by a servant that Wen Lingxue had already left the Wen family and returned to the Songyun Sword Mansion to cultivate.

"Tomorrow is the old matriarch's eightieth birthday. Lingxue will definitely be there. I can give her the gift then."

Su Yi shook his head and left the Wen family residence.

These days, he went to the "Spirit Land" by the Dacang River every morning to cultivate.

Today was no exception.

After cultivating until noon, Su Yi returned to the city and headed toward the Wen family residence.

"Tomorrow morning, I will treat Xiao Tianque's injuries. This will settle one matter... Hmm?"

On the way, Su Yi was deep in thought when he suddenly stopped, sensing something. He looked ahead.

"Master Su, my lord invites you!"

Not far away, a tall old man in a black robe led a group of people, blocking Su Yi's path.
