"That’s not quite the case, but since I’m not very familiar with you, I was just asking," Su Yang said with a smile.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and announced loudly: "I am Li Tianhua from the Li Family of Capital City!"
"Oh!" Su Yang slowly nodded: "So you are the Family Head of the Li Family from the Ten Great Families, my apologies for any disrespect."
Li Tianhua gave Su Yang a cold glance, his face full of haughty expression.
Su Yang didn’t care about these at all, and said with a light smile: "Family Head Li, there was sothing wrong with what you just said. First of all, I am not the one who set the rules of this world. Moreover, I have neither regarded the people of the world as ants nor said I would kill at will. But if he doesn’t want to be killed by , he could have killed . If he didn’t make a move, can I be blad for that?"
"It’s well known that Master Su is powerful, but do you really think that with your strength alone, you are truly invincible?" Li Tianhua said in a cold voice: "There are many in this world stronger than you; when they co to kill you and you can’t counter-kill them, do you then deserve to die?"
"What a well-posed question!" Su Yang clapped his hands and laughed: "That said, we have to discuss the misunderstandings between the major families earlier. At the ti, my brother ca to Capital City and was nearly beaten to death by those frivolous young masters. When I sought an explanation from the major families, how did they answer ?"
Su Yang’s gaze swept over the crowd, and he said with a smile: "I rember clearly, not only did the major families did not give an explanation, they even wanted to kill . I realized at that mont that in this world, there really is no such thing as reason or rules. If soone’s strength surpasses yours, they can just crush you to death. I don’t know how I offended all the major families of Capital City, why did you all band together, summoning over a hundred Terrestrial Immortals, conducting a city-wide search to take my life?"
Su Yang then turned to Li Tianhua: "Family Head Li, if I recall correctly, your Li Family also dispatched Terrestrial Immortals to kill . Co, co, co, Family Head Li, since we’ve t today, why not share with your thoughts from back then. How did I provoke your family mbers to the point where you wanted to kill ?"
Li Tianhua’s face was ice-cold as he sternly replied: "The things you’ve done violated the rules of Capital City..."
"So here’s the question, who set the rules of Capital City?" Su Yang said with a smile.
Li Tianhua paused, then said solemnly: "Of course it’s set by the many families of Capital City?"
"If these rules were set by Capital City’s families, then it should apply within your families, why impose it on ?" Su Yang said with a smile: "When you set these rules, nobody inford about them, so why use these rules to restrain ?"
"You..." Li Tianhua beca angry: "Su, don’t give all that nonsense here. If you’re in Capital City, you have to abide by our Capital City’s rules!"
"I see!" Su Yang nodded: "Then that’s easy to deal with since tonight’s banquet is hosted by , which ans you have to follow my rules. So what does killing Jiang Shiping have to do with you?"
Li Tianhua flew into a rage: "Su, are you stirring up trouble over this? Fine, I’ll tell you why. This is Capital City, and this estate is within Capital City’s bounds; your rules don’t apply here, you have to follow Capital City’s rules!"
"What if I don’t?" Su Yang asked with a smile.
Li Tianhua suddenly slamd the table and rose: "You might as well give it a try!"
Following Li Tianhua’s action, more than two hundred people in the venue stood up, all eyeing Su Yang nacingly. It seed as if they were ready to start a fight at any disagreent.
Zhao Hu Zi and the three other Family Heads stood behind, their faces filled with concern. Among the three hundred or so people here, about seventy percent had banded together against Su Yang.
No matter how strong Su Yang was, he wasn’t a match for these people!
Yet, Su Yang wasn’t the slightest bit flustered, instead, he smiled faintly and suddenly called out: "Young Master Qi, since you’ve arrived, why not co in for a chat? Are you really waiting until I fight with these people, waiting until they are no match for before you join in?"
All were stunned, turning their heads to look.
Soon after, two people indeed walked through the door, none other than Old Zhang the Seventh and his brother.
Seeing these two people, the scene beca chaotic. These two represented the Martial Champion, and they had also co here tonight, what was their intention?
Noticing the crowd’s confusion, Old Zhang the Seventh imdiately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gentlen, don’t misunderstand. We two ca here tonight simply to attend the banquet. We’ve brought our mouths for eating, not for speaking. As for your rules, Capital City’s rules, they have nothing to do with us. Whatever you want to do, we will not get involved!"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that Old Zhang the Seventh would help Su Yang.
"Young Master Qi, isn’t it a bit premature to say that?" Su Yang said with a smile: "Truly not getting involved in our matters?"
"Is there a need to even say it?" Old Zhang’s brother said in a deep voice: "The people of the Zhang Family always keep their word!"
"The words of the Zhang Family indeed carry weight. It’s a pity, but your word is not so trustworthy!" Su Yang said with a concerned expression.
The crowd burst into an uproar. How dare Su Yang openly reprimand Old Zhang’s brother? Was he courting death?
Old Zhang’s brother’s expression was murderous as he glared hatefully at Su Yang and said sternly: "My word is as good as gold, no need for you to worry about my affairs; take care of your own!"
Ignoring him, Su Yang just looked at Old Zhang the Seventh beside him.
Old Zhang the Seventh laughed and said: "My eighth brother’s word is solid as gold, Master Su, you can rest assured!"
"That’s good to hear!" Su Yang said slowly, turning to Li Tianhua and others, smiling: "Family Head Li, it’s better to resolve enmities rather than keep them. I advise you not to be too agitated, let’s talk it out. Everyone is here, what can’t we discuss?"
Li Tianhua looked at the two hundred or so people by his side and said coldly: "What more is there to talk about? Su Yang, you’ve acted arrogantly in Capital City, killed countless people, we, the major families of Capital City, have long been displeased with you. Today, you dared to kill our brother of Capital City right before us, do you really think we’re like soft persimmons that you can easily squash? I’ll tell you, today you’ll pay with your life for the people you’ve killed!"
The people behind him also began shouting in chorus: "Right, pay with your life, make him do so!"
"Kill him, avenge our family’s people!"
"This mongrel, by killing so many of us in Capital City, do you think we really have no way to deal with you?"
"Block the doors! Block the doors! Don’t let him escape!"
"Hmph, can he even run? Now the entire manor is filled with our people; he has walked into a trap by summoning so many of us. Does he not realize that we’re all his enemies?"
