Chapter 74

After a while, Yue Tianhe finally calmed down a bit.

After a moment of thought, he waved over a few servants and instructed, "One of you go to the City Lord's residence, one to the Li family, and one to the Huang family. Tell them that Miss Yuan Luoxi and Young Master Zhang Yuanxing are now guests at our Juxian Tower. Don't say anything more."

"I have only one requirement: be quick!"

The servants hurriedly accepted the order and left.

"By doing this, Fu Shan, Li Tianhan, and Huang Yunchong will all owe me a favor, and by leveraging the reputation of the Yuan and Zhang families, I can make the Juxian Tower even more famous. It's a win-win situation..."

The more Yue Tianhe thought about it, the more comfortable he felt.

He was very clear that whether it was Fu Shan, Li Tianhan, or Huang Yunchong, they would be more than happy to seize such an opportunity to connect with the offspring of the Yuan and Zhang families.

Even if they couldn't establish a relationship, at least they could become familiar with them.

However, he did not send anyone to inform the head of the Wen family, Wen Changjing.

The reason was simple: according to his knowledge, the Wen family disliked Su Yi, the son-in-law, the most.

If he sent someone, it might cause some misunderstandings.

...

In the private room on the second floor.

After Zhang Yuanxing apologized, he didn't care whether Su Yi accepted it or not and focused all his attention on Yuan Luoxi.

Although Yuan Luoxi was impatient, she was worried that getting angry in front of Su Yi would damage her image, so she had to endure it.

If it were any other time, she would have left by now.

Cheng Wuyong, on the other hand, kept drinking and chatting with Su Yi, but it was mostly him talking, and Su Yi rarely spoke.

Seeing this, Xiong Bo was puzzled.

Even if Su Yi had helped the Yuan family a great deal on Gui Mother Ridge, it wasn't enough to make Cheng Wuyong treat him so warmly, was it?

Su Yi occasionally drank with Guo Bing and chatted casually.

He could see that the elderly herbalist, though enjoying the meal, was very reserved and didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Guo Bing was deeply moved by Su Yi's actions.

He was just a lowly herbalist, and this time, he felt like he was in a dream, dining with so many nobles.

However, due to his low status and being just an ordinary person, he was inevitably neglected.

Only Su Yi was willing to chat and drink with him, making him feel respected and warm all over.

Suddenly, Yue Tianhe's enthusiastic and humble voice came from outside the private room:

"Esteemed guests, City Lord of Guangling, Fu Shan, and the commander of the Imperial Guard, Nie Beihu, have come to visit."

Su Yi glanced at Yuan Luoxi and Zhang Yuanxing, understanding that Fu Shan had likely come for them.

"Why is Fu Shan here?"

Zhang Yuanxing frowned. He was in the middle of a lively conversation, trying to get closer to Yuan Luoxi, and was quite annoyed by the interruption.

However, Su Yi got up personally to welcome them.

Yuan Luoxi, who had been focused on Su Yi, immediately stood up and opened the door.

Seeing Fu Shan outside, the young woman in military attire smiled sweetly and said, "City Lord Fu, I was planning to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come here first. Please come in."

Fu Shan was taken aback, feeling honored. He then clasped his hands and smiled, "As long as Miss Yuan doesn't mind my uninvited visit, that's enough."

He and Nie Beihu walked into the room.

When they saw Su Yi sitting at the head of the table, both were clearly surprised, and their eyes exchanged a subtle glance.

However, both were experienced and quickly hid their confusion, smiling and greeting, "Young Master Su is also here."

Su Yi nodded with a smile.

What no one expected was that the gathering would become extremely lively.

After Fu Shan and Nie Beihu arrived, Huang Yunchong and his son, Huang Qianjun, also came.

Like Fu Shan, when they saw Su Yi sitting at the head of the table, both father and son were stunned and felt a chill run down their spines.

They knew that Su Yi had the backing of Princess Lingyao, but they never expected that even the eldest daughter of the Yuan family and the young master of the Zhang family would treat him as a distinguished guest!

Soon after, the head of the Li family, Li Tianhan, also arrived.

Seeing the situation in the private room, Li Tianhan was also taken aback, his mind racing with shock and doubt.

So many important figures, yet only Su Yi was seated at the head of the table. What was going on?

Despite his extensive experience and broad knowledge, he was still at a loss.

By then, except for Wen Changjing of the Wen family, all the top figures in Guangling City had gathered.

Each one of them was a person whose influence could shake the entire city!

But now, they could only sit at the end of the table in the private room.

This was quite interesting.

Su Yi was at the head of the table, followed by Yuan Luoxi and Zhang Yuanxing. Then came Cheng Wuyong, Xiong Bo, and Guo Bing.

When Fu Shan and the others arrived, they could only sit in other seats.

The atmosphere in the private room became somewhat tense and subtle, though they were still conversing, each with their own thoughts.

Yuan Luoxi and Cheng Wuyong were thinking about how to chat and drink with Su Yi without revealing his true identity, to get closer to him.

Zhang Yuanxing was focused on Yuan Luoxi.

Fu Shan, Nie Beihu, and Huang Yunchong subconsciously believed that since Su Yi was seated at the head of the table, he must be respected by Yuan Luoxi and Zhang Yuanxing.

Li Tianhan also thought the same, but he was already considering whether to stop his son, Li Moyun, from getting involved with Su Yi and his wife...

Guo Bing became even more nervous and uneasy.

It was like an ant had wandered into a banquet of dragons, and every person in the room was someone he could only look up to, so his anxiety was understandable.

Only Su Yi remained calm.

He was clear-headed and had a good idea of everyone's thoughts, secretly smiling to himself.

This was the world of martial artists, where they were bound by power, fame, and desire.

One must remember that the path of cultivation is about defying fate!

To reach a higher level and become an eternal, indestructible being, one must cut off these worldly ties.

Power, fame, wealth, and desire... are all like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water.

Only the power one possesses is the true foundation, eternal and unchanging!

At the same time.

Outside Juxian Tower, Wen Jueyuan, accompanied by a group of Wen family guards, hurriedly arrived.

"Are you sure that Su Yi is in this Juxian Tower?"

Wen Jueyuan suppressed his excitement and asked in a serious tone.

Yesterday evening, his father, Wen Changjing, had returned from Tianyuan Academy, bringing back some exciting news for the entire Wen family.

Last night, when Wen Changjing held a clan meeting and learned that Su Yi had won first place in the Dragon Gate Competition, he immediately ordered Su Yi to be summoned to the clan hall.

However, Su Yi was not at the Apricot Yellow Medical Hall at the time.

It wasn't until this morning that Wen Jueyuan received a report from his subordinates that Su Yi had been spotted, and he immediately rushed to Juxian Tower.

"Master, a quarter of an hour ago, I happened to pass by Juxian Tower and saw Su Yi and a group of people enter. It's definitely him!"

A guard hurriedly confirmed, vowing to the truth.

"Good!"

Wen Jueyuan no longer hesitated and led his men into Juxian Tower.

"Master Wen?"

Yue Tianhe was surprised, "What brings you here?"

Wen Jueyuan coldly replied, "Where is Su Yi?"

"He's in the first private room on the second floor..."

Yue Tianhe had barely finished speaking when he saw Wen Jueyuan rush upstairs, and he was shocked, "Hey, Master Wen, wait! What are you here for?"

Wen Jueyuan ignored him.

His mind was set on bringing Su Yi back to the Wen family to be dealt with by his father, Wen Changjing.

When he reached the private room on the second floor, Wen Jueyuan faintly heard laughter from inside, and he couldn't help but sneer, thinking about how Su Yi would soon stop laughing.

He took a deep breath, crossed his arms behind his back, and signaled to two guards.

Bang!

The two guards rushed forward and pushed open the door to the private room.

The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to the door.

"Su..."

Wen Jueyuan cleared his throat, about to order Su Yi to come out.

But when he saw the figures sitting inside, his throat tightened, his eyes widened, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His legs trembled, and cold sweat ran down his back.

He was completely stunned.

"Master Wen Jueyuan, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Luoxi's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with anger.

"I... I didn't expect Miss Luoxi to be here."

Wen Jueyuan swallowed hard, "I didn't expect Miss Luoxi to be here."

He scanned the room, and when he recognized the identities of the people present, he felt dizzy.

City Lord Fu Shan, Commander of the Imperial Guard Nie Beihu, Head of the Huang family Huang Yunchong, Head of the Li family Li Tianhan, and the eldest daughter of the Yunhe Yuan family, Yuan Luoxi...

Although he didn't recognize Zhang Yuanxing and Xiong Bo, Wen Jueyuan knew that anyone who could sit at such a banquet was no ordinary person.

"Who is this rude person?"

Zhang Yuanxing's face darkened, his eyes cold.

"He is the son of the head of the Wen family, Wen Jueyuan."

Huang Qianjun laughed, as if stabbing a knife, "I didn't expect the leader of the Wen family's young generation to become so impolite."

"You..."

Wen Jueyuan was both shocked and angry, but when he saw the cold, indifferent gaze of Huang Yunchong, he shuddered.

"You are more impudent than your father, Wen Changjing!"

City Lord Fu Shan said expressionlessly.

Niez Beihu and Li Tianhan also showed clear displeasure.

Wen Jueyuan felt as if the world was spinning, and his heart was about to collapse.

He never expected so many important figures to be in this private room.

"Get out!"

Zhang Yuanxing shouted.

The three words were a clear insult, but Wen Jueyuan felt relieved and was about to leave with his men.

But Yuan Luoxi coldly said, "Wait, you haven't explained why you're here."

Wen Jueyuan froze, looked at the room full of important figures, and then at Su Yi, who was sitting with them. His lips trembled, and he bowed his head, bitterly saying:

"Miss Luoxi, yesterday, my father returned from Tianyuan Academy and wanted to summon Su Yi, but he wasn't there. I just heard that he came to Juxian Tower, so I came to tell him to come home as soon as possible..."
