Lin Feng and Cheng Bingyan exchanged glances, both feeling relieved now that they had tily kneeled and kowtowed to apologize!
The people present weren’t so fortunate; just monts ago, they were ranting and cursing, treating Su Yang as just a country bumpkin, each one of them arrogant and eager to take him down.
Only now did they realize that Su Yang was not boasting or talking big—he truly had the credentials to et with the family heads of the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province!
Among them, Zhou Jun, Fang Jing, and Fang Jun were the most shocked.
They were shaking with fear, clueless about the extent of the figure they had offended!
After calling out, Su Yang descended from the sky and returned to the hall to wait.
Lian Shaoye finally managed to sit down in a chair with assistance from others, but his complexion was extrely unsightly. Clenching his teeth, he stared at Su Yang and angrily said, "You... your na is Su Yang?"
"That’s right!" Su Yang responded calmly.
"You... you are Master Su of Pingnan Province?" Lian Shaoye asked again.
At this remark, a wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd once more.
Not many people were familiar with the na Su Yang, but ’Master Su of Pingnan Province’ was known far and wide.
"Master Su of Pingnan Province? My goodness, he’s actually Master Su of Pingnan Province?"
"It’s actually him? No wonder he has such formidable strength!"
"Oh my gosh, no wonder he has the audacity to ask for the family heads of the Ten Great Families to et with him, he... he truly has the qualifications..."
Zhou Jun was utterly baffled and quietly asked a friend beside him, "Who is Master Su of Pingnan Province?"
"Aren’t you two acquainted?" The friend gave Zhou Jun a surprised look.
"I... I know his na is Su Yang..." Zhou Jun’s face was full of astonishnt, "But who is Master Su of Pingnan Province?"
"You don’t know?" His friend looked at him in amazent, "The Master Su who, at the Dragon Head eting in May, defeated everyone single-handedly and erged victorious!"
"Ah?" Zhou Jun’s eyes nearly bulged out, "That Master Su? Isn’t... isn’t he an elder? This... how old is this Su Yang?"
"How should I know, but if Lian Shaoye is saying it, can you not believe it?" his friend whispered back.
"I heard that Master Su of Pingnan Province is indeed quite young, seemingly still in high school!" another person whispered nearby.
"Oh my goodness, then it must be him. Besides Master Su of Pingnan Province, who else could possess such strength, to defeat Lian Shaoye in a single move!"
"Mama mia, what in the world is going on? I just... I just said I wanted to kill him a mont ago, isn’t this... isn’t this seeking death..."
"It’s the sa for all of us!"
The crowd was utterly astounded and incessantly lanting, all trembling with fear. Thinking back on their own words from before, each person felt a surge to beat themselves up—how did they end up provoking such an influential figure?
Zhou Jun was nearly driven mad. Had he known it would co to this, nothing could have made him provoke Su Yang.
Knowing that his grandfather had a decent relationship with Su Yang, this could have been an opportunity.
He could have taken the chance to build connections with Su Yang, apologize, and perhaps the past issues might have been resolved.
And if he could gain Su Yang’s support, then he, Zhou Jun, would undoubtedly be able to enter the ranks of the first-class scions of Pingbei Province.
The ones he could only look up to before would probably have to co and flatter him in the future!
At that mont, Zhou Jun just felt like vomiting blood. Such a golden opportunity, and he had destroyed it himself?
More importantly, ruining the chance was not the critical point, the critical point was that he had offended Su Yang far too grievously this ti. How was Su Yang going to deal with him?
Lian Shaoye gasped for a few breaths and said with a heavy voice, "Master Su really has so impressive skills, playing the fool so convincingly that even I was deceived. Hmph, but don’t think that just because you won the Dragon Head eting in May, you can do whatever you want here. This is Pingbei Province, and this is still a place where the rules are made by the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province!"
"Starting today, it’s no longer the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province that make the rules!" Su Yang replied coldly.
"You’ve got so nerve!" Lian Shaoye roared furiously. "Do you really think you can do whatever you want in Pingbei Province? Let tell you, if you overstep your bounds here, we can make sure you die here!"
"Was I too gentle when I hit you just now?" Su Yang said, frowning. "Would you prefer that I simply kill you?"
Lian Shaoye’s face turned pale, and just at that mont, an icy voice ca from the door: "Who has the audacity to want to kill my grandson?!"
Everyone turned to look and saw a group of people entering from the door. Leading them were two elders: Patriarch Lian, Lian Qianjun, and the Patriarch of the Huo Family, Elder Huo.
The one who had spoken was Lian Qianjun. He walked in with a thunderous expression, his face filled with rage.
"Grandfather, Grandfather..." Lian Shaoye exclaid as if he saw a savior, his voice quivering with a crying tone: "This Su Yang, he’s too bullying, he simply doesn’t put our Ten Great Families in his eyes at all!"
"I know!" Lian Qianjun waved his hand, and several people nearby quickly ca over to help Lian Shaoye up.
"Take the young master to rest first!" Lian Qianjun ordered coldly.
Several people were pulling Lian Shaoye to leave when Su Yang, with a teacup in hand, said leisurely, "Did I give him permission to leave?"
Everyone was stunned, and the room erupted in commotion. What exactly was this situation?
Lian Qianjun was personally taking Lian Shaoye away, and Su Yang didn’t agree? Wasn’t Su Yang being too overbearing? Was he looking to fight to the death with Lian Qianjun?
Lian Qianjun’s expression grew frosty as he looked at Su Yang and said sternly, "Su Yang, I’m taking him away. Do you dare say no?"
"Try !" Su Yang replied coldly. "Whichever foot he uses to walk out first, I’ll cripple that foot first!"
"I’d like to see how capable you are!" Lian Qianjun roared. "n, escort the young master out!"
About a dozen people from the Lian Family imdiately ca up, surrounded Lian Shaoye, and assisted him out.
There was an outburst of shouting on the scene, and many people began to whisper among themselves.
"Does Master Su have sothing wrong with his brain? Even the presence of the Patriarch Lian doesn’t earn respect from him, isn’t this a death wish?"
"He may have won the Dragon Head eting in May, but that was just a brawl between brutes. This is Pingbei Province, the stronghold of the Ten Great Families, what does he want to do?"
"I refuse to believe that he can turn the situation upside down here!"
"Offending the Patriarch Lian, I think he’s tired of living, he’s asking for death!"
"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, what can you do? Can you fight against a greater number?"
Amidst the mockery of the crowd, Lian Shaoye was assisted to the doorway.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered at the door with flashes of lightning streaking through them.
Everyone was uncertain of what was happening when the first person from the Lian Family walked out.
However, before the crowd could escort Lian Shaoye out, a bolt of lightning dropped from the dark clouds, striking the person squarely.
With a loud boom, that person was charred black, emitting smoke and falling to the ground — dead on the spot!
