EveryonethoughtthatSuYiwouldhavebeencrippled,ifnotdeadwhentheysawhisfist.

Butnow,seeingSuWei’sbodyflyingback,thesurroundingsweredeadsilentasifitwasthedeadofthenight.

Ontheseats,allthefamilyelders,HighElders,etc,wereallstunned,theireyeswideopenandtheirjawsagape.

TheeyesoftheNinthHighElderseemedlikeitwasgoingtopopoutoftheirsockets.Hemumbledtohimselfunderhisbreath,“Impossible,thisisimpossible.”

Atthismoment,WanErwhowasstandingfaraway,thecornersofhershirtinherhandwhichhadalreadybeentwistedtilltheyhadbeencrumpledweregraduallyreleased.Thenervousnessinhereyeschangedintohappinessandsurprise.Sheknewthatthistime,theYoungMasterhadfinallyreturnedhome.

Finishinghiswords,SuYiturnedandleft.HewalkedtoWanEr’sside,heldhertinyhandandleftthevenueundertheshockedgazesofeveryone.

“Impossible!Imusthaveseenitwrong!”

“HowcouldBigBrotherSuWeilose?Moreover,hecouldnothavelostwithjustonemove!”

MomentshadpassedbeforetherewerefinallysoundsfromthefoursidesoftheDemonstrationGround.Thosestunnedgazeshadonlycomebacktotheirsensesnow.

Whoosh!

TheeldersandHighElderslefttheirseatsandwentontothestagebesideSuWei,examiningtheinjuriesonSuWei’sbody.

“Impossible!Thatbratmusthaveusedsomeunderhandedtactic.Ifnot,hewouldneverhavewon!”

TheGrandElderinterruptedtheNinthHighElder’swords,hiseyeslookedprofoundandhispresencestartedbecomingsharpandfierce.Hisvoicewasnotloud,buthiswordsresonatedthroughouttheDemonstrationGround.

Allthistime,thedisciplesoftheSuFamilyknewthatSuYihadalwaysbeennurturedastheheirofthefamily.

ButbecauseofhistalentandSuYi’sinfamousnameandactions,manyoftheelderswhohadsupportedSuYichoseSuWeiintheend,butthiswasnotthembeingbiasedagainstSuYi,itwasinconsiderationforthefamily’sfuture.
