Chapter 14

Su Yi vaguely felt that the other party looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Does it look like I'm injured?"

Su Yi suppressed his doubts and smiled, countering the question.

The middle-aged man in the scholar's robe seemed to finally relax, repeatedly saying, "It's good, it's good."

When he turned to look at the others present, his previously refined and amiable face was now full of cold authority, saying,

"Huang Yunchong, you have some nerve!"

His voice was like a thunderclap, shocking and intimidating.

Huang Yunchong's face had already changed when the man in the scholar's robe appeared. Now, being reprimanded in such a manner, he couldn't help but stiffen, unable to remain seated.

He stood up abruptly, his expression filled with surprise and doubt, "Brother Fu, why are you here?"

"City... City Lord?"

Huang Qianjun was also startled, hurriedly standing up, his face full of bewilderment. When did Su Yi have a connection with the City Lord!?

The man in the green robe also seemed panicked, immediately putting away the dagger in his hand and bowing, "I greet Lord Fu!"

At the same time, Nie Beihu hurriedly clasped his hands in a salute, "I greet Lord!"

All eyes immediately focused on the man in the scholar's robe.

Fu Shan!

The City Lord of Guangling, a Great Martial Artist at the Qi Gathering stage, wielding great power and authority!

"It's him."

Su Yi finally realized, but he still had a lingering doubt in his heart. He didn't seem to have any connection with the other party.

Could it be...

Suddenly, Su Yi thought of a possibility.

He didn't speak, just watched coldly.

"If I hadn't come, how could I see you, Huang Yunchong, being so domineering?"

Fu Shan's eyes were cold, like a king's anger, intimidating.

Huang Yunchong's forehead veins bulged, trying to remain calm. He could ignore Nie Beihu, but he couldn't afford to offend Fu Shan, the City Lord.

"Brother Fu, I've investigated Su Yi's background. At his strongest, he was merely an outer disciple sword master of the Qinghe Sword Mansion."

"And now, he is just a neglected son-in-law of the Wen family, insignificant..."

Huang Yunchong deliberated, "I really don't understand why, with your status, Brother Fu, you would stand up for him?"

This was also the confusion of Huang Qianjun, the man in the green robe, and Nie Beihu.

"Insignificant?"

Fu Shan's eyes were filled with intense sarcasm, his face expressionless, "Given our past acquaintance, I'll tell you. Before coming to this Juxian Tower, Princess Lingyao said that if a single hair on Su Yi's head is harmed, I, Fu Shan, will have to pay with my head!"

These words were like a sudden thunderclap!

Everyone's faces changed, their bodies stiffening.

"You mean... he is... a friend of Princess Lingyao?"

Huang Yunchong looked at Su Yi with disbelief.

Princess Lingyao!

She is a true royal, though born into the Lanling Xiao family, she is a princess personally enfeoffed by the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Such a status is incredibly high!

But when did Su Yi, a lowly son-in-law of the Wen family, become friends with Princess Lingyao?

Nie Beihu and the man in the green robe also looked as if they had seen a ghost, stunned.

Given their status, they naturally understood the true meaning of Fu Shan's words. In Princess Lingyao's eyes, the City Lord Fu Shan's head is far less valuable than Su Yi's life!

"Huang Yunchong, because of what you did, I, Fu Shan, almost lost my head!"

Fu Shan said coldly.

"I..."

Huang Yunchong could no longer remain calm, cold sweat pouring down his face.

Even as the head of the Huang family, commanding the city of Guangling, he still had to be wary of Fu Shan.

As for Princess Lingyao, she was a noble that the entire Huang family could not afford to offend!

"Father, who is this Princess Lingyao? Is... is she even more powerful than my uncle?"

Huang Qianjun stammered, realizing that the situation was wrong, but being too young to understand the gravity of it.

Slap!

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Qianjun's face was slapped, and he fell to the ground, his cheek swollen and bleeding, stunned.

The one who hit him was none other than his father!

"Shut up!"

Huang Yunchong's face was ashen, his eyes burning with anger.

That terrifying expression made Huang Qianjun shiver all over, trembling like a sieve.

"If your uncle finds out about this, he will immediately divorce your aunt, expel her from the family, and cut ties with your Huang family!"

Fu Shan sneered.

Huang Qianjun's aunt, who is Huang Yunchong's sister, is a favored concubine of the governor of Yunhe County, Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan is a major figure, ranking above the nineteen city lords of Yunhe County!

Because of the relationship between the Huang family and Qin Wenyuan, in the past, Fu Shan would not easily offend the Huang family.

But now, things are different!

Huang Qianjun finally realized the severity of the situation, his entire body numb, his soul lost, unable to stand up, no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, Huang Yunchong had no time to think about his son.

He took a deep breath, bent over, and bowed deeply to Su Yi, his voice bitter,

"Huang Yunchong is blind, not knowing that Su Yi is a friend of Princess Lingyao. I was foolish, please forgive me, Su Yi!"

The private room was silent, everyone silent, their hearts churning.

Huang Yunchong, the head of the Huang family, a powerful figure in Guangling City, who even dared to be ruthless with the City Lord's Guard Commander Nie Beihu.

Even when facing City Lord Fu Shan, he was merely cautious.

But now, because of "Princess Lingyao," he bowed to Su Yi!

"Father..."

Huang Qianjun was stunned, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

In his heart, his father was like a mountain, supporting the sky.

But seeing his father, a son-in-law, bow to apologize, it was as if... the mountain in his heart had collapsed!

The man in the green robe's body became even more tense, his face uncertain.

Nie Beihu, seeing all this, felt a deep sense of irony. Looking at the situation, Su Yi didn't need someone like him to help.

Su Yi raised an eyebrow.

The previously arrogant head of the Huang family was now humbly apologizing, making it clear that Huang Yunchong was not bowing to him, but to "Princess Lingyao."

"Su Yi, how should we resolve this matter?"

Fu Shan asked softly, maintaining a respectful and deferential attitude towards Su Yi, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

Su Yi looked at Huang Qianjun and said, "Do you remember what I said here yesterday?"

Huang Qianjun was initially stunned, then his face turned pale, his lips trembling, "I..."

Before he could continue, Su Yi said, "I said I would give you a chance to take revenge, but if you choose to do so, you must bear the consequences."

Huang Qianjun remembered these words, but he hadn't taken them seriously yesterday.

Now, hearing these words, each word felt like a cold, sharp blade, piercing his heart.

He was extremely frightened, unable to help but look at his father, Huang Yunchong.

Huang Yunchong maintained his bowed position, now also panicking, gritting his teeth, "Su Yi, I am willing to bear the consequences alone!"

Su Yi shook his head, his gaze turning to Fu Shan, "It's clear that Lord Fu mentioned Princess Lingyao earlier to make Huang Yunchong and his son understand the gravity of the situation, to prevent them from doing anything more extreme and causing greater trouble."

Fu Shan's expression froze. He had indeed had that intention when he mentioned Princess Lingyao.

After all, Huang Yunchong is the head of the Huang family. If things went too far, it would also affect him as the City Lord.

But Fu Shan didn't expect Su Yi to see through his intentions so quickly!

Steadying his mind, Fu Shan's expression turned serious, and he solemnly clasped his hands, "Su Yi, your insight is sharp. I admit, I had that intention. But I assure you, I will let you handle this matter as you see fit, without any objections!"

Seeing the City Lord make such a firm promise, Huang Yunchong, Huang Qianjun, and the man in the green robe's faces changed again, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

Su Yi's expression was calm, "I don't like to rely on others' power to oppress people. Moreover, Lord Fu's arrival has also helped me. I won't make you difficult."

Fu Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Su Yi's gaze turned to the man in the green robe not far away, smiling, "You like to play with daggers, don't you? Take out your dagger and cut off your hand."

Since entering the private room, the man in the green robe had been playing with a knife, speaking in a sarcastic tone, and acting frivolously. If it weren't for Nie Beihu's sudden arrival, he would have already taken action against Su Yi.

Su Yi naturally didn't overlook this person.

Everyone's hearts chilled.

The man in the green robe, Huang Yin, is the head of the Huang family's guards, a Blood Circulation stage Great Master. In Guangling City, he is considered a top-tier martial artist.

If his hand were to be disabled, it would severely affect his martial cultivation!

"Can I compensate and atone in another way?"

Huang Yin's face changed drastically, extremely nervous.

Su Yi didn't speak, just smiled at him.

Fu Shan's eyes were cold, looking at Huang Yunchong.

The无形的压力让黄云冲胸闷，最终脸色难看地说道：“黄寅，动手！”

黄寅脸色煞白，双目无神，最终颤抖着将藏起来的匕首拿出，对准自己的右手，猛地一划。

噗！

一只血淋淋的手掉在地上，血如瀑布般洒下。

黄寅疼得脸抽搐，满头大汗。

苏逸这才点头，目光移向黄云冲，“刚才，你让我一步一磕头，从这里跪行到聚仙楼外，你觉得，这件事该怎样解决？”

黄云冲瞳孔猛地收缩。

再看黄乾峻，早已吓得面如土色。

傅山和聂北虎对视一眼，神色间都不禁泛起怜悯之色，这叫搬起石头砸自己的脚。

如果黄云冲今天从这里磕头磕到聚仙楼外……那必将身败名裂，此生都休想再抬头做人！

“父亲，我来磕头，我来磕头！！”

突然，黄乾峻发出痛苦般的哭腔，趴在地上，以头抢地。

咚！

木质地面猛地一震，磕头声沉闷如鼓。

黄乾峻头破血流！
