“Young-YoungMasterSuYi!”
Afewservantswhosawtheyoungman,whoseemedtoappearfromoutofnowhere,startedshivering.
EveniftheYoungMasterhadnotbeenaroundfor3yearsandcamebackpathetically,butinthepast,noonedaredtoprovokeoroffendhim.Allthosewhosawhimwouldkeeptheirdistanceoutoffear.Itmayhavebeen3years,butthetraumastilllingered.
Andnowtheservantswerewatchingtheyoungmaninfrontofthemclosely.Wasthisreallythepatheticgood-for-nothingYoungMasterintherumors?Donningabluerobe,blackengravingsonhissleeveswithnotaspeckofdirtonhisclothes.Hishairswayedeversoslightlyinthewind.Hestoodperfectlyuprightandproud,unlikehisskinny-lookingfigure.Hewasjustlikeasharpblade,hiddenwithinanunimaginabletoughnessandstrength.
Thiskindofyouth,nomatterhowtheservantsthought,theycouldnotmakehimouttobethetrashintherumors.
LookingattheSuYinow,WanErwasalsoslightlydazed.ShehadafeelingthatsomethingintheYoungMasterwasdifferentthanthreeyearsago.
“YoungMasterSuYi,theFifthChamberlainandtherest-"
Butimmediately,WanErstartedbecomingtense.Sheknewthatthispersonwasanotaneasyfoe.Shehadheardthathewasalmostbecomingatruecultivator.
Furthermore,shehadalsoheardthattheFifthChamberlainhadabacker.WiththeYoungMaster’scurrentpositionintheSuFamily,hewouldnotbeabletogainanyfavorsfromothers.WanErstartedworryinginherheart.
“Noneedtoworry.Cometellme,forthepastfewyears,didthisdogofaslavebullyyou?”

“YoungMasterSuYi,Iamfine,butthegoodsinthecourtyardhaveallbeentakenawaybytheFifthChamberlainandhisfollowers.WanErissouseless.WanErcouldnotprotectYoungMasterSuYi’sitems.”WanErwhispered,herfacefullofself-blame.
