Chapter 92

"I wonder what method can be used to obtain the complete contents of the Lingxia Zhenjie from him."

After a long silence, Qingjin sighed softly, feeling a sense of loss.

"Uncle Qingjin, what did Su Yi say?"

Not far away, Zhou Zhili walked over, accompanied by Zhang Duo and four other attendants.

"He's definitely not happy about it."

Qingjin's red lips were slightly pursed, and her sharp eyes, like blades, were now calm like a lake.

She had a powerful sect behind her, one that could influence the entire Great Zhou situation.

And there were many teachers who cared for her.

She was confident that even without Su Yi's help, she could still make a name for herself in the martial arts world!

"After our mission is over, we will find an opportunity to seek out Su Yi. No matter what, I will try to help Uncle again."

Zhou Zhili said earnestly.

"He may seem young, but he is extremely arrogant. Since I didn't agree to his conditions this time, he must already have a grudge against me. If you go to beg him, it will surely be in vain and will only make him look down on you."

Qingjin stretched her slender and graceful waist, her posture lazy, "But to be honest, we all owe him a favor. If he encounters trouble in Yunhe County, we can offer him a hand."

With that, she walked forward.

...

"Mr. Su, yesterday I received a message from my lord, who instructed me to thank you again."

Zhang Yiren personally came to see Su Yi off, his voice cheerful, "And my lord said that he will come to Yunhe County soon to recruit a batch of young people for the Qingjia Army. At that time, he might take the opportunity to meet you in person."

Before Su Yi could speak, Huang Ganjun was already surprised, "Lord Wu Ling, Chen Zheng, is coming to Yunhe County to recruit people?"

Zhang Yiren nodded, "That's right. Our Qingjia Army recruits new blood every year to replenish the military strength."

Huang Ganjun couldn't help but show a look of longing, "When I was a child, my greatest wish was to fight on the battlefield and laugh as I drank the blood of demons. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely try it out."

Zhang Yiren laughed heartily, "That's the kind of fine young man of our Great Zhou! If we weren't about to part, I would definitely invite you for a hearty drink."

Huang Ganjun grinned.

Yuan Luoxi, on the other hand, looked at Su Yi with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Mr. Su, where will you stay after you enter the city?"

Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "In the depths of Willow Lane."

"What's that place?"

Yuan Luoxi asked Cheng Wuyong in confusion.

Cheng Wuyong was uncertain, "I vaguely remember that it seems to be... a lane where the poor gather, near the southern edge of the city."

A place where the poor gather?

Yuan Luoxi was taken aback.

But she tactfully didn't ask further, only silently remembering the name of the place.

As they were talking, a deep, steady voice came from the dock by the Dang River:

"Luoxi, Elder Cheng, we're over here!"

On the crowded dock, there was a very prominent group. Over a hundred guards, all armed and mounted, stood solemnly.

At the front of the group stood a beautiful lady with a gentle and elegant demeanor.

Her hair was neatly tied up, her neck long and graceful, her waist straight, exuding a charm that had been refined by time.

The one who had just spoken was a young man beside the beautiful lady.

This young man was tall and broad-shouldered, wearing a battle robe, his presence heroic and fierce, standing out like a crane among chickens.

"Why are Mother and Second Brother here?"

Yuan Luoxi was surprised.

"A mother worries when her child travels far. The lady must have missed you very much. What surprised me is that the Second Young Master also came. Wasn't he always training in the Chilin Army?"

Cheng Wuyong whispered, and when he saw the heroic and fierce young man, he was somewhat taken aback.

The beautiful lady was none other than Yuan Luoxi's mother, Leng Yuchun, the current matriarch of the Yuan family.

And the one beside her was Yuan Luoxi's second brother, Yuan Luoyu!

In Yunhe County, Yuan Luoyu was a martial arts prodigy, possessing a natural strength that his peers could hardly match.

Since the age of thirteen, he had dominated the young generation of the Yuan family with his fists, displaying a brilliant and sharp edge.

At fifteen, Yuan Luoyu was sent to the Chilin Army under the command of Lord Yun Guang, Shen Jiushan, to train. His military achievements were glorious, and at the age of seventeen, he became the youngest commander of ten thousand men in the Chilin Army.

Lord Yun Guang praised him as "a tiger of the Chilin Army, a talent fit for a king or a marquis"!

"Uncle Yong, don't forget the thing you promised me."

Yuan Luoxi spoke softly and quickly.

Cheng Wuyong's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise.

Last night, Yuan Luoxi had said that she didn't want the clan and relatives to know about Su Yi, and asked Cheng Wuyong to keep it a secret.

The reason was that Yuan Luoxi was worried that if the clan learned of Su Yi's abilities, they would try to test and disturb him, which could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Moreover, she had a personal motive, not wanting the relationship between her and Su Yi to change because of the clan's involvement.

Cheng Wuyong had already understood some of Su Yi's character, knowing that this powerful Mr. Su, though seemingly calm, was actually very proud.

If the Yuan family's power were to test him, it might provoke his resentment and rejection.

Therefore, after much thought, Cheng Wuyong agreed to keep it a secret.

But he knew that this could only be hidden for a while.

If the Yuan family wanted to, they could easily find out everything that happened in Guangling City and on the boat.

"Commander Zhang, we'll be on our way first."

At this moment, noticing that Yuan Luoxi's family was already waiting, Su Yi bowed to Zhang Yiren and decided to leave.

"May the green mountains remain, and the clear waters flow. Take care, Mr. Su!"

Zhang Yiren waved, his smile cheerful.

Su Yi nodded and turned to walk down to the boat.

Yuan Luoxi and the others followed closely behind.

When they reached the dock, the tall and heroic Yuan Luoyu said irritably, "Girl, didn't you see Mother and I waiting for you? Still so slow, in the past, I would have beaten you up."

Though he said this, his eyes were filled with a doting smile.

"Who asked you to wait?"

Yuan Luoxi rolled her eyes, "And you brought so many attendants, don't you think it's too showy?"

With that, she turned around, threw her arms around her mother Leng Yuchun, and smiled, "Mother, you came to pick me up personally, you must have missed me a lot, right?"

Leng Yuchun's eyes were slightly red, but she scolded, "At your age, you sneak out of Yunhe County. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to your father?"

Yuan Luoxi stuck out her tongue, "I came back unharmed, so don't worry."

Leng Yuchun glanced at Su Yi and Huang Ganjun and asked, "Elder Cheng, who are these two young men?"

On the dock, she had noticed that Yuan Luoxi and Su Yi had talked a lot.

Moreover, Su Yi was young and handsome, with a calm and extraordinary demeanor, which naturally caught her attention as a mother.

Cheng Wuyong replied solemnly, "Madam, this is Mr. Su, and this is Mr. Huang. On our trip to Guimulian in Guangling City, we relied on their help to avoid many dangers."

He paused and added, "This time, they are traveling to Yunhe County, and it just so happens that we are traveling together."

So they are from the small place of Guangling City.

Leng Yuchun's eyes became more indifferent, and she maintained a dignified posture, saying softly, "Elder Cheng, have you thanked these two young men?"

Cheng Wuyong replied solemnly, "Madam, I will never forget the great kindness of these two young men."

Yuan Luoyu had been observing Su Yi and Huang Ganjun. Now he suddenly spoke in a deep voice:

"Since these two friends helped Luoxi, they are our honored guests. If you encounter any difficulties in Yunhe County, you can mention the name of the Yuan family, and it will surely be of some help."

His words were full of confidence and arrogance.

But these words made Cheng Wuyong and Yuan Luoxi feel guilty, looking at Su Yi and Huang Ganjun with apologetic eyes, as if to say, "Please don't mind."

Su Yi smiled slightly, not caring.

Huang Ganjun was already amazed by the grand reception for Yuan Luoxi, and didn't pay much attention to these small details.

"It's getting late, your father is waiting for you at home. Let's go back."

Leng Yuchun took Yuan Luoxi's arm and said softly.

Yuan Luoyu mounted his horse and shouted, "Let's go!"

The hundreds of guards nearby sprang into action, and the grand procession and imposing presence made many people nearby exclaim in surprise.

As for Su Yi and Huang Ganjun, they seemed to have been forgotten.

Watching the grand procession pass through the dock and disappear into the city gate, Huang Ganjun finally realized and frowned:

"Brother Su, why did Miss Yuan and Senior Cheng seem so cold just now, as if they deliberately didn't want to introduce our identities?"

Su Yi said calmly, "If the Yuan family knew I was Miss Yuan's savior, what do you think they would think?"

"Of course, they would treat you as a distinguished guest!"

Huang Ganjun replied without hesitation, then hesitated, "But that doesn't seem right. The more important the person, the more complex their thoughts. They wouldn't believe it right away."

"So, what Luoxi did was well-intentioned. She must be worried that if she mentioned some things about me, the people of the Yuan family would try to test me, which could lead to conflicts."

As he said this, Su Yi pointed to the shore not far away, "Look, that old fisherman over there is actually a hidden martial arts master."

Huang Ganjun looked over and saw an old man in a straw hat standing barefoot on the shore, bending over to wash an old fishing net, his withered and dark face covered in wrinkles.

"That doesn't seem right!"

Huang Ganjun frowned.

Su Yi didn't say more.

But Huang Ganjun suddenly seemed to realize something and sighed, "Brother Su is right. If I said this, I wouldn't believe it either, let alone those important people of the Yuan family."

Su Yi said casually, "Remember this: in life, whether in the secular world or the cultivation realm, differences in vision, strength, and status will inevitably lead to prejudice and conflict. This has been true from ancient times to the present."

Huang Ganjun bowed solemnly, "Brother Su's teachings, I will remember them in my heart and never forget them!"

Su Yi smiled, "It's easy to understand but hard to practice. What's the use of knowing many principles? As long as you are strong enough, you don't need to care about these things."

With that, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Huang Ganjun hurriedly followed.

But he didn't notice that the old man in the straw hat, who was washing the fishing net, now had a look of surprise on his wrinkled, dark face.

Did that young man in the green robe see through his true identity?
