Facing the entreaties of the crowd, Su Yang remained unusually calm. He leisurely sipped his tea, as if he hadn’t heard their pleas for rcy at all.
Without a word from Su Yang, these people didn’t dare to rise, only able to kneel on the ground, trembling as they waited.
After a long while, Su Yang had drunk three cups of tea before finally setting down the teacup and said softly, "Do you truly understand your wrongdoing?"
The crowd nodded their heads in unison; at this point, what else could they dare to say?
"Good, I can give you a chance!" Su Yang nodded, "I can spare you and even forgo punishing you. However, you need to do sothing for !"
The crowd was overjoyed, their spirits lifting, as the man leading them hurriedly said, "Master Su, whatever it is, just command us. Even if we must scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flas, we will accomplish it!"
"Indeed, we will accomplish it!"
"Master Su’s matters are our matters. Not just one, even if there are ten or a hundred, we will definitely carry them out!"
"Right, Master Su, just give your command!"
The crowd shouted in unison, and Su Yang smiled faintly, gesturing with his hand, "Thank you for your generous love. Since everyone is so sincere, then I won’t hold back anymore."
Su Yang took a few steps forward, gazing in the direction of Lake Heart Island, smiled faintly and said, "The outer court of Qi Family of Wanhu, I find it quite nice; the scenery is pleasing, the location is good, suitable for so developnt. But the people of Qi Family of Wanhu are guarding it, and it’s always a bit uncomfortable having them in sight. So, I’m hoping you all would be willing to take action, drive away the people of Qi Family of Wanhu, and take that outer court for . Can you help with this favor?"
"Ah?" The crowd was stunned; this request was far too terrifying, wasn’t it?
Qi Family of Wanhu, what kind of family was that? There was no need for anyone to speak of its stature.
Yet Su Yang was asking them to seize the Qi Family’s outer court; wasn’t this tantamount to digging the earth from under the feet of a Tai Sui?
"Seeing your expressions, are you unwilling to go?" Su Yang asked with a faint smile.
The crowd exchanged glances; at that mont, who would dare to utter even a half-hearted ’no’? To say ’no’ would an dying right there. Yet if they went to Qi Family of Wanhu, death would also be certain. How should they choose?
Su Yang chuckled, "It seems you all are finding it difficult, so how about this? I’ll give you all so ti to think. By nine o’clock tomorrow morning, I expect you all to have attacked the outer court of Qi Family of Wanhu. If you don’t make it, it would an there wasn’t much sincerity in your apologies. At that ti, don’t bla Su Mou for being rciless in his actions!"
Having said that, Su Yang waved his hand, "Co, show our guests out!"
The Shen Family’s people ca up and directly expelled these people.
Shen Jing’an walked up to Su Yang, speaking in a low voice, "Master Su, do you... do you truly want to take down Qi Family’s outer court? It’s one of Qi Family’s most valued territories, second only to Lake Heart Island. If you stir trouble there, that’s really like cutting flesh from the body of the Qi Family!"
"This ti, I don’t just want to cut flesh from the Qi Family; I want to deeply hurt them!" Su Yang said coldly, "I want them to know the price of taking advantage of soone’s misfortune, kicking them while they’re down, and breaking promises!"
Shen Jing’an nodded slowly, understanding Su Yang’s aning.
In the battle at Accumulated Cloud Mountain, the five ancestors of Qi Family of Wanhu, taking advantage of such a mont, went back on their initial oath and moved against Ye Jiansheng, nearly causing Su Yang’s death. Under such circumstances, it was only natural for Su Yang to co looking for revenge against them.
"However, if this fight spills into the outer courtyard, it would then be a matter of the Qi Family itself. At that ti, if the Qi Family takes action, wouldn’t that an they haven’t broken the promise they made in the beginning?" Shen Jing’an whispered.
"Hehe, I’m actually afraid they won’t dare to make a move!" Su Yang said with a light smile.
"Ah?" Shen Jing’an couldn’t help but be startled, but rembering the battle at Accumulated Cloud Mountain, he suddenly laughed as well.
Indeed, does the present Qi Family still dare to lay a hand on Su Yang?
If the Terrestrial Immortals cannot intervene, who else could possibly stand against Su Yang?
That very night, Su Yang and his group ended up staying temporarily at Hu Yong’s residence.
After a hearty drink with Shen Jing’an, who had been living in fear and trepidation all this while, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Su Yang had triumphed. This ti, having chosen the right side would beco a key factor in the further developnt of the Shen Family.
Of course, while Su Yang and his group were living comfortably, there were others who were far from comfortable. For instance, Hu Yong’s nephew and Zhang Aiqin, who thought to escape under the cover of night, ended up being captured and faced demands to repay their debts.
Hu Yong’s nephew had initially tried to intimidate people by wielding Hu Yong’s na, but after soone lopped off one of his hands, he quickly beca compliant. He hurriedly tried to cancel his yacht and sports car orders in a bid to raise cash. However, canceling orders ant paying penalty fees, which resulted in a loss of at least ten million. With such a loss, repaying the enormous sum beca an impossible dream.
Thus, that night was tortuous for both him and Zhang Aiqin. The next day, after they had vented their anger, their torntors discarded the pair, who were barely recognizable as human, in the outskirts to fend for themselves.
Even if these two were fortunate enough to survive, it’s likely they would never again dare to engage in swindling and deceit.
At nine in the morning, Su Yang arrived at the Qi Family’s outer courtyard with his people.
By this ti, the place was already surrounded by a crowd—the very sa people who had knelt outside Hu Yong’s residence the day before. Following Su Yang’s instructions, they had arrived before nine o’clock.
It was clear that everyone was still very anxious, but they had nonetheless shown up. Of course, so people did not co, which amounted to giving up.
As the group stood hesitantly at the entrance of the outer courtyard, deliberating whether or not to storm in, they suddenly spotted Su Yang approaching, and they were all overjoyed.
These people lacked the courage to attack the Qi Family on their own. Now that Su Yang had arrived, the task seed much more feasible. With Su Yang in charge, what was there to fear?
Therefore, as soon as Su Yang arrived, one of the n imdiately ordered his n to attack the outer courtyard. Inspired by this, other people followed suit, commanding their own n to launch an assault on the courtyard, causing the scene to quickly descend into chaos.
It was clear to Su Yang what these people were thinking, but he did not call them out on it. Their presence here indicated how much they feared him, so they might still be kept around.
As for those who did not dare to co, it showed they feared the Qi Family more. These people could not be spared. Otherwise, they might be utilized by the Qi Family in the future.
The outer courtyard was a scene of fierce combat, and before long, a group rushed out from within, led by none other than Qi Jian’an of the Qi Family.
Spotting Su Yang from a distance, Qi Jian’an’s face turned cold as he spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Su, these are your n, aren’t they?"
"That’s right!" Su Yang admitted without any hint of concealnt, looking calmly at Qi Jian’an with a smile, "What, have you been demoted to the outer courtyard? Started to oversee battles outside, have you?"
