Chapter 2

"Hey, our entire Su family used to be so respected, but now, when people mention our Su family, they only remember that we have a perverted troublemaker in our family."

A large man sighed, as over the years, because of that troublemaker, their status in the city of Mancheng had also declined.

"Pay attention, all of you. No matter what, he is still a young master of the Su family, the most beloved grandson of the old man. If the young master gets into trouble, it will be the elders of the Su family who will deal with it. Don't lose the dignity of the Su family outside. If you dare to gossip again, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

Su Baihan turned around and glared at the several large men behind him, his expression quite stern.

"Yes, Master Han, understood!"

Immediately, the expressions of the large men changed, and their demeanor became fierce.

Outside the main gate of the Su family, Su Yi stood at a distance. He glanced at the many figures not far from the gate, his gaze sweeping over them indifferently.

Then, looking at the familiar main gate of the Su family, a smile curved at the corner of Su Yi's mouth. The inhuman days of the past three years were finally over. He stretched lazily and said, "Damn, I'm back, young master. After a good wash, I'll be a handsome young man again!"

"That little girl, it was just a kiss and a hug. I'm still a virgin in both this life and the previous one. You didn't lose anything; you even gained. Yet you had to make such a big deal out of it. In a few years, when I marry you, you'll see what I can do!"

Thinking about the inhuman days of the past three years, Su Yi felt a bit indignant and spat on the ground.

Swallowing his saliva, Su Yi thought to himself, if he had known back then, he should have stuck his tongue in. That would have been a real first kiss. What a pity.

"You can forget about marrying her. Being able to return alive is already a miracle for your Su family."

Suddenly, a clear and somewhat childish voice sounded behind Su Yi.

Su Yi's expression changed. He had been distracted and didn't notice someone approaching him from behind, which was a major taboo.

In an instant, Su Yi's body leaned forward, and without any visible movement of his feet, he turned 360 degrees, emitting an invisible aura. Like a waking leopard, he was fierce and swift. The wide sleeves of his robe partially revealed a dagger.

However, when he saw the chubby face that had been chubby since childhood, Su Yi's alert expression immediately turned into a smile, and the dagger disappeared without a trace.

The chubby youth seemed to have no reaction to the sudden change, looking at Su Yi with eyes that were almost closed, but his face was full of smiles.

The youth punched Su Yi's shoulder hard, very happy and excited, and said, "I knew you wouldn't die. Mo Bufan and the others were never your match, and they still aren't. How could they stop you from entering the city? Ouch, are you wearing steel plates? Why is it so painful?"

Before he could finish speaking, the fat man's fist, which had just landed on Su Yi's shoulder, retracted as if it had been electrocuted, his hand numb as if he had hit a piece of steel.

"Hehe, Wang Fat, how did you know I was back?"

Su Yi was very happy, placing his hand on the fat man's shoulder. The wide, tattered robe flared up like a skirt, showing his enthusiasm.

The fat man's name was Wang Shangwu, Su Yi's childhood friend and best buddy.

The Wang family, although not as powerful as the five major families, was still a first-class force in the city of Mancheng.

From the day Wang Shangwu was born, his father hoped he would become a powerful warrior, hence the name Wang Shangwu.

Unfortunately, Wang Shangwu did not live up to his name. His talent was average, and he was more like Su Yi, which caused the Wang family a lot of worry.

"I knew you wouldn't die and would definitely come back alive."

Wang Fat was very happy and carefully examined Su Yi. Looking at Su Yi's current appearance, he seemed somewhat surprised and said, "It looks like you didn't have it easy in the Man beast forest."

"Finally, I've made it through."

Su Yi smiled faintly, not saying much. He carefully looked at Wang Fat, a glint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "It seems you've improved a lot in the past three years."

"I didn't have it much better than you. I didn't leave the house for three whole years. My father personally supervised my cultivation, but unfortunately, I haven't reached the foundation stage yet." Wang Fat was very depressed. The past three years hadn't been easy for him either.

"That doesn't sound like you."

Su Yi knew Wang Fat very well. How could this guy have stayed inside for three whole years?

"Mo Bufan, He San, and the others made me swear to cut ties with you. What a joke. How could I listen to those idiots?"

Wang Fat said, his expression calm, and continued, "It's good that you're back alive. Mo Bufan, Song Wuqiu, and the others went to the city gate to block you, but I can tell with my toes that those idiots wouldn't be able to stop you."

Wang Shangwu was very confident. He knew Su Yi too well. Mo Bufan and the others wouldn't stand a chance against him.

"Why are Mo Bufan and the others blocking me?"

Su Yi's expression darkened. Mo Bufan, He San, and the others probably didn't take Wang Fat seriously and had been bullying him for years, which is why Wang Fat hadn't left the house for three years. It was strange that they had the nerve to block him.

"It's all because of you, because of Liu Ruoxi."

Wang Fat rolled his eyes at Su Yi. In the entire city of Mancheng, only this guy had the guts to do what he did to Liu Ruoxi.

"What does Liu Ruoxi have to do with it?" Su Yi raised an eyebrow, somewhat suspicious.

"After you were expelled, Liu Ruoxi announced the next day that if you could return alive after three years, whoever killed you would marry her. So now, Mo Bufan and the others all want to kill you."

Wang Fat glanced at Su Yi and said calmly. To be honest, he was really impressed by what this guy did three years ago. In the entire city of Mancheng, no one else had the guts to do it.

"Damn, that little girl is so ruthless!"

Su Yi was stunned, then raised his eyebrows and said, "When I marry her, I'll show her what I can do!"

"Don't daydream. First, the condition your grandfather agreed to was that you must reach the foundation stage after three years for the marriage to be valid. If you don't, not only will you be expelled from the Su family, but you'll also be completely expelled from the city of Mancheng."

Wang Shangwu looked at Su Yi and said, "I really admire you for having the courage to come back."

Su Yi swallowed hard, not expecting Liu Ruoxi to be so ruthless. It was all because of her.

Wang Fat continued, "Also, even if you reach the foundation stage, you probably won't be able to marry Liu Ruoxi now."

"Why not?"

Su Yi asked. If it weren't for that girl, he wouldn't have suffered so much. Not marrying her and making her pay would be a betrayal of his second life.

Wang Shangwu stared at Su Yi, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Not long after you were expelled from the city of Mancheng, Liu Ruoxi went to the Holy Mountain and was tested to have an imperial-grade talent!"

"Imperial-grade talent!"

Su Yi was stunned, his body trembling.

In this world, the strong are respected, and martial arts are flourishing.

But not everyone has the qualifications to practice martial arts.

Those who practice martial arts have different levels of talent. The higher the talent, the farther they can go in their cultivation.

"Liu Ruoxi has become a personal disciple of the Holy Master on the Holy Mountain. It seems that because of her, the Holy Mountain decided to select disciples in the city of Mancheng this time." Wang Fat continued, his eyes filled with longing.

The Holy Mountain is the paradise of all martial artists, the paradise of all cultivators.

Wang Fat knew his talent well and realized he couldn't enter the Holy Mountain, so he could only envy and long for it.

"It's just an imperial-grade talent."

Su Yi's lips curled up, looking very relaxed.

Suddenly, Su Yi's eyebrows raised, then slightly furrowed, as if he sensed something. His expression darkened, and his toes instinctively moved to the side, and his body immediately leaped away.

"Whoosh"

Behind Su Yi, a palm struck out, the sharp sound of the wind cutting through the air.

"Yuanhun realm!"

Su Yi's expression changed. Only those who had successfully reached the foundation stage and advanced to the Yuanhun realm would have such an aura.

As Su Yi leaped away, the owner of the palm behind him slid forward, using a movement technique. The palm moved swiftly, like a shadow, fingers tightly clenched, turning into a fist. Layers of light emanated from the fist, with the momentum of shattering mountains.

"Mountain-Bursting Fist!"

With a light shout, the fist, carrying a powerful momentum, shattered the air and followed closely behind.

Reaching the Yuanhun realm means stepping into the ranks of true martial artists. Even a flower or a leaf, when used as a sword, can pierce through a boulder.

How much more so when the person is using a martial technique.

"Su Yi, be careful!"

Wang Fat's eyes widened in shock. The attacker was much stronger than the others, and he had no chance to intervene. He could only shout to warn Su Yi.

The fist behind Su Yi arrived in an instant, its momentum fierce, emitting a low hum, making the air tremble.

Su Yi's feet left the ground, his body leaping into the air. In an instant, he rolled forward, landing in a rather ungraceful but effective position, successfully avoiding the powerful punch.
