“Sigh,ourentireSuFamilywasoriginallysorespectedbythemasses,butnow,oncesomeonebringsuptheSuFamily,theywillonlyrememberthatapervertedjinxcamefromthisfamily.”
Themansighed.Alltheseyearsthatjinxhasonlycausedthefamily’spositioninthecitytobecomelowerandlower.
“Thefewofyou,watchyourwords!!!Nomatterwhathappens,thatpersonisstilltheYoungMasteroftheSuFamily,andheisalsothemostlovedgrandsonoftheOldMaster.WhentheYoungMastercreatedthatmess,theOldMasterhaspunishedhimaccordingly.Nowthatweareoutside,donotdisgracetheSuFamily!Fromhereonwards,ifthere’sanyonewhotalkswithoutthinking,donotblamemeforbeingruthless!”
SuBaiHanturnedaroundandstaredatthemenbehindhim,hisfacestern.
“Yes,Mr.Han,understood!”
Atthatmoment,eachmanchangedtheirattitude,andtheirexpressionsbecameserious.
OutsidethemaingateoftheSuFamily,SuYiwaswatchingfromadistanceandobservingthefigureslyingintheshadows,hisgazesweepingoverthemcasually.
Afterwards,helookedatthatfamiliarmaingateoftheSu.Thecornerofhismouthswungupwards,threeyearsofinhumanetreatmenthadfinallyended.Hestretchedhisbodyandsaid,“Hahaha,I,theYoungMasterhasreturned!OnceItidyupandcleanmyselflater,Iwillonceagainbeahandsomeyoungman!”

[T.NNote:Toallreadersthatarethinkingthatthemctriedtorapethegirl,itisnotwhatyouthink.Pleasereadthelaterchapterswherethemcshallclarifywhatheexactlydid.?]
Reminiscingthepastthreeyearsofhell,SuYiwasenragedandfiercelyspatonthegroundbesidehisfeet.

“Justdismissyourthoughtsabouttakingherasyourwife.Justbybeingabletocomebackalive,yourSuFamilywouldalreadyhavetothankthegods.”
Unexpectedly,acrispyoungvoicecamefrombehindSuYi.
SuYi’sfaceimmediatelychanged,justnowhewasinadazeandactuallyallowedsomeonetocomesoclosetohimfrombehindhisback,thiswasabigtaboo.
Inaninstant,SuYi’sbodylungedforwardandatthesametimewithoutanyvisiblemovementsfromhisfeet,hespunaround,exudingapresencelikeapredatorwhichhasjustawakened,swiftandsharp.Fromhiswidesleevesappearedthetipofadagger.
Butoncehesawachubbyfaceasifthebabyfatsonthefacehadnotbeenshed,SuYi’scautiousfaceimmediatelychangedintoasmile,andsimultaneously,thedaggeralsovanishedintothinair.
Thechangeshappenedinablinkofaneye,whichthefatyouthdidnotseemtonotice.LookingatSuYi,thosesmalleyeswhichlookedlikethesamewhethertheyweretightlyclosedorwideopen,wascompletelysqueezedintoathinline.Onecouldseeabrightsmileonhisface.
TheyouthpunchedSuYi’sshoulderhard,ecstaticbeyondmeasure,andsaid,“Iknewthatyouwouldn’tdie.MoBuFanandthosefewjerksweren’tamatchforyoubackthen,theystillwouldn’tbeyourmatchnow.Withjusttheirskills,howcouldtheypreventyoufromenteringthecity?Ouch,areyouwearingasteelplateonyourbody?WhyisitsopainfulwhenIslappedit?”
Withoutfinishinghiswords,thefattyretractedhishandwhichhasjustlandedonSuYi’sshoulderlikehegotshockedbyelectricity.Heswunghishandsidetoside,hisfistwasnumb,painedasifhejustpunchedsteel.
“Hehe,FattyWang,howdidyouknowIhavereturned?”
SuYiwasreallyhappy.Withahandontheshoulderofthefattyinfrontofhim,hisoversizedrobeseemedtodancelikeaskirt.Hisactionsfilledwithwarmth.
Thefatty’snamewasWangShangWu.HewasSuYi’scompanionfromwhenhewasyoung,andalsohisbuddy.
TheWangFamily,eventhoughwasnotaslargeasthe5BigFamilies,butitwasstillconsideredasoneofthelargerpowersinthecity.
FromthedayWangShangWuwasborn,hisfatherhopedthatWangwouldbecomeastrongmartialartspractitionerwhenhegrewup,hencehisnameWangShangWu.
(TranslatedbyGravityTales😚)
Unfortunately,WangShangWudidnotgrowuptofithisname.Heonlyhadaveragetalentfromyoung,andthefactthathewasbestiewithSuYionlycausedtheWangFamilytoworryfurther.
“Iknewthatyouwouldn’tdieandwouldsurelyreturnalive!”
FattyWangwasbeaming,butwhenhelookedcarefullyatSuYiandsawhiscurrentappearance,itgavehimquiteasurprise.Hesaid,“LookslikeintheForestofDemons,youalsohadaratherhardtime.”
“ButIfinallymanagedtoweatherthestorm.”
SuYismiledslightly,speakingnomore.Hecarefullylookedatthefatty,forafleetingmoment,surprisecouldbeseeninhiseyes,andsaid,“Youhaveimprovedquiteabitoverthepast3years.”
“Forthese3years,Iwasinasituationnobetterthanyou.Ihavenotsteppedoutofthehousefor3years.Myfatherwaspersonallyoverseeingmymartialartspractice,butsadlyIhavenotimprovedenoughtoreachtheFoundationEstablishmentStage,”FattyWangwasdepressedashehadlivednobetterthanSuYiforthepast3years.
“Thatisn’tlikeyou.”
SuYiknewFattyWangverywell.Howcouldhehaveresistedthetemptationtogooutofthehouseforthepast3years?
“MoBuFan,HeSanandtherestofthebunchwantedmetoswearthatIwouldsevermytieswithyoufromthatmomentforth.Whatajoke,howcouldIeverdothatandfollowtheordersofthosesecond-rates?”
FattyWangopenedhismouth,hisfacerelaxed,andcontinuedspeaking,“Well,itisgoodthatyouareabletoreturnalive.MoBuFan,SongWuQiuandtheresthavegonetothecitygatetostopyou,butIcouldeventhinkwithmyfeetandknowthatitwouldnotbepossibleforthosesecond-ratestostopyou.”
WangShangWuwasbrimmingwithself-confidence.HeknewSuYiwaytoowell.WiththeskillsofthoseYoungMasters,therewasnowaytheywouldbeabletostophim.
“WhydoMoBuFanandtherestwanttostopmefromreturning?”
SuYi’sfaceturnedblack.HeknewthatthoseYoungMastersdidnottreatFattyWangasanequalandwouldhavesurelysteppedalloverhim.ThatmustbethereasonwhyFattyWangstayedathomeforthepast3years,andhewasalsocurioushowdidtheYoungMastersgetthecouragetogotothecitygatetostophimfromentering.
“Isn’tthisallyourfault,becauseofLiuRuoxi.”
FattyWangrolledhiseyes.Intheentirecity,onlythepersoninfrontofhimwouldhavethegalltodosuchathingtoher.
“WhathasthisgottodowithLiuRuoxi?”SuYiraisedhiseyebrows,slightlysuspicious.
“Afteryouwereexiled,LiuRuoxiannouncedonthesecondday,thatafter3yearsifyouwereabletoreturnalive,shewouldmarrythepersonwhokillsyou.HencethereasonwhyallthoseYoungMasterswanttotryandkillyou.”
FattyWangglancedatSuYiandsaidcasually.Speakinghonestly,hewasreallyimpressedwithwhatSuYidid3yearsago.Intheentirecity,nooneelseotherthanthepersoninfrontofhimwouldhavethecouragetodosuchathing.
“Dammit,whyisthatgirlsoruthless!”
SuYiwasdazedforamoment,afterward,hiseyebrowraisedslightly:“AfterItakeherasmywife,thenIshallshowherwhoshehasoffended!”
“Stopdaydreaming.Firstly,backthenOldMasterSupromisedyouthatonlyifyouhavereachedFoundationEstablishmentStage,thentheengagementwouldbevalid.IfyoudidnotreachFoundationBuildingStageafter3years,youwouldnotonlybeexiledoutoftheSuFamilybutalsotheCityofManaswell.
WangShangWulookedatSuYiandsaid,“Butreallyhatsofftoyou,youstillhadthegalltoreturn.”
Ontheotherhand,SuYisilentlygulped.HedidnotexpectthatLiuRuoxi,thatlittlegirl,wasactuallysoruthless,althougheverythingthathappenedwasbecauseofher.
FattyWangcontinuedsaying,“Also,IamafraidthatevenifyouareatFoundationBuildingStage,itwillstillbeimpossibleforyoutotakeherasyourwife.”
“Why?”
SuYiasked.Ifitwasn’tforthatgirl,hewouldnothavetosuffersomuch.Ifhedoesnottakeherashiswifeandslowlyshowherwhatheismadeoff,thenhewouldbelettingdownthefactthathehadreincarnatedasahumanbeing.
WangShangWulookedatSuYi,tookadeepbreath,withhiseyesslightlyshaking,hesaid,“Notlongafteryouwerekickedoutofthecity,LiuRuoxiwenttotheSacredMountain,IhaveheardthatshehasEmperorGradetalent.
“EmperorGradetalent!”
HearingwhatFattyWangsaid,SuYiwasalsostunned,hisbodyshakingslightly.
Thisworldhasbeenruledbythestrong,andthepathofmartialartsflourished.
Butnoteveryonehastheabilitytocultivate.
Forthosewhocultivated,therewasthedifferenceintheleveloftalent.Thegreateryourtalent,thefurtheryouwouldwalkdownthepathofcultivation.
“LiuRuoxihasalreadybecomethepersonaldiscipleoftheMasteroftheSacredMountain.ItseemsthatitisbecauseofherthattheSacredMountainwouldcometothiscityandchooseotherdisciples,”FattyWangcontinuedsaying,hiseyesfilledwithyearning.
SacredMountain,thatwasaparadiseforallmartialartspractitionersanditwasalsotheparadiseforallcultivators.
FattyWangwasveryclearabouthisowntalent.Unfortunately,hewillhavealmostnohopeofeverbeingabletoentertheSacredMountain,hecouldonlybeenviousofothersandyearnforit.
“So,itisonlyEmperorGradetalent.”
SuYi’smouthcurvedupwards,helookedveryrelaxed.
Suddenly,SuYi’seyebrowsraised,hisforeheadslightlywrinkled.Heseemedtohavedetectedsomethingandhisfaceimmediatelyfell.Hejumpedswiftlytothesidewithoutanyhesitation.
FollowingbehindSuYi,therewasapalmwhichstruckstraightforward,bringingwithitsoundsoftheairbreaking.
“YuanSoulRealm!”
SuYi’sfaceimmediatelychanged.AfteracultivatorhascompletedtheFoundationBuildingStageandsteppedintotheSoulYuanRealm,onlythenthatpersonwouldhavesuchanaura.
