Unintentionallyspoken,butkeenlyreceived,ElderSu’sgazesubtlyshifted,onceagainsettlinguponSuYi.

ElderSuwasquitefamiliarwithSituMuyang’sarrogantpersonality,knowingthatheneverlikedtoadmitdefeat.However,fromSituMuyang’stone,itseemedthatheharboredadeepsenseofuneasetowardsSuYi.Ifitweren’tfortheslightdifferenceinstrength,SituMuyangwouldnothaveshownsuchasubmissiveattitude.

However,eventhoughSuYiisindeedolderthanSituMuyang,leavingasideeverythingthatXuJiahui,ZhangQing,andothershavementioned,justSituMuyang’sattitudealoneisenoughtoproveeverything.
