After arranging the funeral for his family, Lin Dong left Beiguan Town with Su Yang.
Old Fatty Zhang was efficient in his dealings, managing to save his own life. However, Beiguan Town had been taken over by Ling Zi, becoming one of the Hou Family’s industries.
Old Fatty Zhang didn’t oppose this at all. Previously, relying on the Chen Family, he claid to be the eighth dragon head of Pingnan Province, but in reality, the Ten Great Families from both provinces could bully them.
Now that he was with the Hou Family, he essentially had a powerful backer. Moreover, the Hou Family erged as the final victor of the May Dragon Head eting, also becoming the rule-maker of both provinces. Many others also wanted to join the Hou family’s ranks.
Such an opportunity was like a pie in the sky for him!
This ti, the one driving Su Yang was Eight-Faced Yama.
Su Yang had spared his life, and afterwards, he had sought out Su Yang, swearing his loyalty to him. He even gave up his status as a dragon head leader, willing to stay by Su Yang’s side as a follower.
Su Yang didn’t refuse, either. Eight-Faced Yama was the sort who favored sches, but none of that worked against Su Yang. Plus, Su Yang was in need of a follower with such skills, so he let him stay for the ti being.
"Master Su, where are we headed now?" asked Eight-Faced Yama while driving, with utmost respect.
The forr dragon head leader, now reduced to a driver, felt not the slightest bit of resentnt. On the contrary, he was joyful, clearly aware that following Su Yang would provide him with an opportunity to enhance his strength.
Su Yang: "Pingzhou City."
"Understood!" Eight-Faced Yama responded imdiately.
Su Yang looked over to Lin Dong, who, sitting by the window, was cradling the little dog. Dressed in a long coat, his entire body was enveloped within it. The coat’s hood was pulled over his head, covering most of his face. But the visible part of his lips and chin still clearly showed the scars from burns.
In fact, Su Yang was fully capable of healing Lin Dong’s burns and restoring him to his forr self. However, Lin Dong had refused. He didn’t want to return to his original appearance, preferring to stay as he was.
In the end, Su Yang said no more. It wasn’t easy for Lin Dong to move on from such grief.
Before the car even entered the provincial capital, dozens of vehicles were already waiting for them on the road into the city.
In front of the cars, mbers of the Ten Great Families were standing. Among them were Ye Wantong from the Ye Family and Ying’er from the Shangguan Family. As for the Nan Family, Qin Family, Chen Family, Zhou Family, and Lin Family, the Family Heads were personally waiting by their cars.
Especially the Zhou Family; after the news of Su Yang kidnapping Ying’er spread, they had sent many alongside the Wang Family to oppose the Hou Family in Nanluo City.
After the May Dragon Head eting, the Wang Family was practically destroyed, almost certain to drop out of the Ten Great Families. The Zhou Family didn’t advance to the final round, but they had heard about what happened in Beiguan Town and that Su Yang was victorious and the Hou Family was making the rules. This put the Zhou Family in complete panic.
The new Family Head of the Zhou Family had co out this ti intending to apologize to Su Yang, hoping that Su Yang would spare their lives.
Ye Wantong and Ying’er naturally went without saying; Su Yang shook hands with Nan Wudi, Qin Haishan, and other Family Heads as a reply. As for the Zhou Family Head, Su Yang breezed past him without even a glance, letting Eight-Faced Yama drive away.
The Family Head of the Zhou Family trembled with fear, his prepared plea unused till now. If Su Yang did not forgive them this ti, wouldn’t the Zhou Family be dood?
In the evening, Ye Zhenying and Shangguan Ge jointly hosted a banquet at the renowned Qianlong Clubhouse in Pingzhou City to welco Su Yang.
Hou Xiangde also rushed over from Nanluo City, accompanying Hou Shilin. This marked the first eting of the major forces in Pingnan Province after the May Dragon Head eting.
Actually, such a gathering should have occurred sooner. After all, the May Dragon Head eting had ended, and the order between the two provinces was set, while the internal order of the province needed imdiate reestablishnt.
However, due to Su Yang’s absence, the eting was delayed.
Such a delay, if known to others, might be unbelievable. A eting between the major forces of the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families, postponed because of one person?
In fact, not a single person from the Ten Great Families and major forces complained, rather they felt it was only natural. Just as they willingly gathered outside Pingzhou City to welco Su Yang, they were glad to do it.
If there had been so dissatisfaction with Su Yang’s assertiveness before, his victory over Pingbei Province this ti earned the recognition of all forces in Pingnan. Without Su Yang, Pingnan Province would have faced a terrible defeat and all the major forces would have suffered massive losses!
In essence, Su Yang, with his own strength, won the final victory for Pingnan Province, securing the greatest benefits for all forces and bringing great honor to the province!
Under such circumstances, the admiration for Su Yang was self-evident.
Su Yang didn’t care much for such etings. His participation in the May Dragon Head eting was firstly to help his friend Hou Shilin, and secondly, because of the matter with Ghost Blade Mo Qianli. The rest didn’t matter to him.
When they reached the provincial capital, Ye Wantong took Lin Dong away, treating him as tenderly as if he were her own brother.
There was still ti before the evening banquet, and Su Yang was not in a hurry to head to the Qianlong Clubhouse.
It happened to be the Labor Day holiday, and Qiupeng and Wang Hao had co to the city, along with other mbers from Destiny Martial Arts, and Su Yang needed to et with them.
Qiupeng and Wang Hao were both going to take the college entrance exam this year. If they succeeded, they might end up all over the place. This holiday was likely their last before the exam. Under Fatty’s rallying, they had gathered so mbers from Destiny Martial Arts for a trip to the city.
Most mbers of Destiny Martial Arts were from poor families, and Fatty had provided their travel expenses for the city trip.
Of course, Fatty himself didn’t have that much money; he went around extorting several wealthy people in Nanluo City. Essentially, they were the ones who had kicked him when he was down after his family’s downfall.
Now with Su Yang backing him and his family on the rise again, it’s needless to say – just looking at Pingnan Province after this May Dragon Head eting, who wouldn’t give them face?
As for those who turned their backs on him, they were scared witless when Fatty showed up. Hearing that Fatty only wanted so travel money, they were overjoyed, each giving millions to Fatty. So, this trip for Destiny Martial Arts was well-funded!
