LiuZongYuanunderstood.TheOldMasterwastryingtohintthatSuYireceivednohelpfromtheSuFamilyinthethreeyearsduringhisexileintheForestofDemonsandnowthatSuYihadreturnedalive,naturally,itcouldnotbeforgottenabouteasily.

“OldMaster,I-”

LiuZongYuanopenedhismouthandstartedtalkingbeforeWangQuanDecuthimshort,hisfacefallen.HelookedatSuYunTianandsaid,“LiuRuoxi’smarriagewillnotbevalid!”

“WhataSacredMountain!Thismatterwassetinstoneagesago.IfSacredMountaincontinuesthrowingitsweightaroundlikethisandbeunreasonable,Idonotthinkthatitwillbegoodforyouwhenthismattergetsout,”SuYunTianlookedstraightatWangQuanDeandsaid.

WangQuanDe’sexpressionchangedinhisheart.Fromthefacesofeveryoneinthearea,thisSuYunTian’spositioninthecitywasextremelyhigh.

Eventhoughthiscitywasonlyasmallplace,butbecauseofLiuRuoxi’spositioninSacredMountain,thiswasamatterofhighimportance.Ifhedoesnotsettlethiswelltodayorstirupahugetroubleinthecity,itwouldalsobehardforhimtoreportback.

“Atoadlustingforswan’sflesh.HowcouldjuniorLiuRuoxibesomeonethattrashlikeyoucoulddreamofhaving!”

Atthismoment,behindWangQuanDe,ayoungmaninwhiteclothes,around15-16yearsoldwalkedout.Hisclothesflutteredinthewind,hisfacehandsome.Underhislongeyebrows,apairofeyesstaredatSuYi.Disdainandmockerynotevenbeinghidden.Hesaid,“Don’tyouwantaretest?I’llgiveyouachance.Ifyoucantakethreeblowsfromme,no,twoblowswouldbeenough.Ifyoucantakeontwoblowsfromme,thatwouldprovethatyouarequalifiedtoenterSacredMountain.”

Whensuchayouthwalkedout,theeyesofeveryonefellonhim.

“SowhatifyoucamefromSacredMountain.Oneblow?Youthinktoohighlyofyourself!”

Slightlysmiling,SuYiwalkedforthwithagrinonhisface.

Sincethisbattlecouldnotbeavoided,thenjustmarchonbravely.Forthepastthreeyears,itwasnotasifhedidnotfightwithanystrongpeople.

WhenSuYiwalkedout,theOldMasterSuYunTian’scalmeyesfinallyshowedsomechange,butwithoutleavinganytraces,hiseyesregaineditscalm.

EventhoughSuYihadenteredtheYuanSoulRealm,butthisJiChaowasadiscipleofSacredMountain.OnelookwasenoughforpeopletotellthatJiChaowasfarstrongerthanSuYi.

Butasapartofthecity,ofcourse,theywereunhappy.Hence,theycouldnothelpbutfeelgoodatSuYi’sretort.
