Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 773: Bidding Reason Farewell (2)

Chapter 773: Bidding Reason Farewell (2)

Someone else laughed, “Since it’s a Wang, is it Wang Qi of Great Song? Brother Lang, after staying in hiding for so many years, have you forgotten the names of your friends?”

Su Yu laughed, “It doesn’t matter. A name is merely a form of address. As strangers coming together by chance, why bother with such trivialities? Everyone, are you all here for Su Yu’s ruin? Did you find anything? Can you take me with you? Don’t worry. I won’t fight over the ruin. I only want to see if there is a living ancient beauty in the ruin…”

Everyone was speechless. This guy sure was straightforward.

With a light tap on the ground, Su Yu leaped onto the city wall. After looking left and right, he said, “This is weird. Is the Xia Family letting us do as we please? We can even get on the city walls freely now?”

He looked at his so-called Brother Wang and said, “Brother Wang…”

“I’m a Huang, not Wang.”

“Ohhhh, Brother Huang.” Su Yu laughed heartily and said, “It doesn’t matter. A name is just a name. Brother Huang, are there no Great Xia experts around?”

At the very least, he didn’t see any expert from the military around. Only some regular soldiers below the SKysoar Realm could be seen. They were all silently standing guard in their respective positions. And they had completely ignored him when he moved onto the city wall. Something like this would never happen in the past.

Brother Huang could only helplessly explain, “Nanyuan isn’t a strong city, and Great Xia is too tied up to deploy their forces from somewhere else here. As long as we don’t create trouble and disturb the local populace, Great Xia will let us be. If you do disturb the local populace, some people will naturally come knocking.”

“I see.” Su Yu nodded, “I was surprised that nobody did anything when I killed that beast. Did Great Xia say that they will also ignore all fights between outsiders?”

“You’re a sharp one, Brother Lang.” The youth said, “That’s indeed the case. According to Marquis Xia, they won’t take responsibility for the security of all outsiders. But all outsiders will be required to pay for any damage done locally. As long as you pay up, he will let you be. So if you’re rich enough to pay the fines, you can probably do anything you want.”

“That sounds like him.” Su Yu nodded. He crossed his arms and looked at the group that had arrived at the same time as him. “That kid had the courage to provoke me. Which family are they from? If they’re not strong, maybe I’ll just kill them all later.”

“Brother Lang.” Someone else said, “They are members of the Hao Family. That’s a Sunmoon family from Great Yuan. This is only a small matter. And that’s a Mental Tempering Stage brat. Why waste your time on some ignorant kid?”

Su Yu smiled, “That was a joke. Don’t take me seriously. That’s such a cute kid. I wouldn’t bear to kill him. I have been roaming the world since I was twenty-five. It has been ten years since then. I have only killed a small number of people. How can I murder people indiscriminately? That was merely a joke.”

The man with scar felt very helpless when he heard that. This was very troublesome. They had just arrived and they had already provoked someone like that. That fellow had probably gone mad from hiding for so long and was looking for someone to vent his anger.

“Please forgive us, Brother Cui. I will visit you with my young master tonight to offer our apology. I hope you will be willing to meet us.”

Su Yu laughed, “Forget it. I will let this go because of you. This is just a small matter. It’s nothing. We’re all fellow travelers so we naturally need to show mutual respect. Just remember to watch your mouth in the future. Just look at me. I’ll be very obedient in the presence of Invincible descendants. As for Sunmoon descendants, I don’t mind fighting it out. At worst, I’ll just seek shelter in Great Tang.”

Holy shit!

Someone cursed inwardly. Wasn’t this fellow unwilling to get married? Why was he thinking of going to Great Tang now? What a useless scoundrel who was living off a woman. A shameless scoundrel.

Then again, there was really nothing these people could do. If he really did seek shelter in Great Tang, even those from regular Sunmoon families wouldn’t be able to touch him.

Su Yu smiled and descended from the city wall. While walking away, he said, “I’ll be taking a look around. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get lucky and stumble upon the ruin. That would make me rich. By the way, where’s the mayor’s residence? I’ll go have a chat with the mayor. Also, apart from Su Yu’s teacher, Liu Wenyan, does he have any relatives in the city? I’m from Great Ming and Su Yu is now a member of Great Ming. We’re basically family. It is only natural that I visit his relatives now that I’m here.”

“Brother Wang…I mean Brother Huang, do you want’ to come with me? Maybe we can even visit Su Yu’s house. Do you know the location of his house?”

The expression of that youth changed as he hurriedly said, “Sure. I’ll go with you.”

Visiting Su Yu’s house! They might really be able to find something. Cui Lang sure was fearless. He had actually aimed for Su Yu’s house right after arriving.

The youth ignored the expressions of those around him and hurriedly followed Su Yu. “Brother Lang, I arrived a few days earlier so I have learned some things. Su Yu has a few teachers here, including the principal of Nanyuan Secondary School. But that is a public servant of Great Xia so we can’t rashly disturb him.”

He added, “As for Su Yu’s house, it’s guarded by the Martial Dragon Guards. We can’t get through them easily.”

Su Yu smiled, “It’s fine. My teacher is Principal Niu. And Su Yu is quite close with my teacher. Thus, I can be considered his senior brother. We’re family. I’m only visiting the house of my brother. It will be fine. We’re doing this out in the open. We’re not thieves. Am I right? Su Yu had forgotten the location of his ruin and told me to look for the ruin on his behalf. This is acceptable, right?”

When the others heard that, they were all rendered speechless. What a shameless guy. It seemed like Cui Lang had not changed much. They reckoned he hadn’t even met Su Yu before. How were they brothers? Sure, Cui Lang was probably important enough in Great Ming to meet Su Yu. But it was total nonsense that he was close to Su Yu.

Everyone knew that in Great Ming, Su Yu spent most of his time with Mountainseas and Sunmoons. He was also the VIP of the prefect. Why would he waste his time on someone like Cui Lang?

Mayor’s residence.

Wu Wenhai was still the mayor. But as of late, he seemed to have aged a lot. When he met Su Yu, he looked rather calm. As a mayor, his status was quite high despite his weak strength.

He was only meeting Su Yu, or to be precise, Cui Lang, because this was a visitor from Great Ming and a graduate of the Great Ming Cultural Research Academy. And this was also an unofficial student of Niu Baidao.

Wu Wenhai was very straightforward, “Brother Cui, if you’re here to look for the ruin, go ahead. Just avoid disturbing the local populace. As for anything else we might have found, Great Xia would have long taken what they could long ago. I am only seeing you to ask if Su Yu is doing well in Great Ming.”

Su Yu smiled, “He’s very well, but he was recently injured. Right before I left, he entered seclusion at my teacher’s place. He even told me to visit his house and clean it up for him. Can I go to his house?”

“…”

Wu Wenhai gazed at Su Yu doubtfully and asked, “Are you sure about that?”

“Cough, cough. Of course.”

Su Yu laughed awkwardly. It was clear he was lying.

Wu Wenhai frowned slightly and said, “Since you’re claiming that you’re here on Su Yu’s request, sure. But you will need to bear the consequences for it. Since you know Su Yu, you should know that he is a petty person. If you lie about this and intrude upon his property, well, think about the consequences yourself. I won’t say anything else.”

Su Yu said, “Of course. Don’t worry. He’s close to my teacher. I’m really planning to only clean the place for him. The place must be full of dust now since it has been empty for so long.”

Beside him, Brother Huang looked very impressed with his ability to lie through his teeth. Wu Wenhai was not interested in continuing the conversation. After asking a few more questions about Su Yu, he sent them away.

Right as Su Yu was about to leave, Wu Wenhai said, “Nanyuan is still a territory of Great Xia. I advise you to follow the laws while you’re here. Nobody wants to see anything bad happen.”

“Definitely!”

After leaving the mayor’s residence, he laughed, “Let’s go to Su Yu’s house!”

“Brother Lang, are we really going?”

“Of course. But…be very clear that I’m not inviting you to go with me. If you go, you will need to deal with Su Yu in the future. I will only protect myself.”

“…”

Brother Huang gloomily said, “This wasn’t what you said before!”

Earlier, Cui Lang had promised to take him along!

“Haha, I was joking. You can come with me if you want. But I’m serious. I’m not worried that Su Yu will find me in the future because of this. I’m really going there to help clean his place. My teacher is very close to him. But that’s not the case with you…”

Brother Huang started hesitating. After a long while, he said, “I’ll wait for you outside. Brother Lang, if you find anything, don’t forget your brother.”

“Of course.” Su Yu grinned. At that point, they had arrived at the entrance to his old neighborhood.

Several soldiers from the Martial Dragon Guards were standing there. One of them was a familiar face, Xia Bing. He was the squad leader of the Martial Dragon Guards stationed in Nanyuan. He was now a fourth-stage Skysoar. He had improved a lot, but he was still too weak compared to many of the outsiders in the city.

When the two youths arrived, Xia Bing frowned. The other soldiers also glared at the two ferociously. These two were clearly outsiders.

An old man was walking past when he saw the two. He started cursing, “Damn it. Why are all sorts of bastards coming to our place? When that Su kid returns in the future, he will cut them all down!”

This was an old man with a fiery temper. This was very normal in Great Xia. Some of their common citizens might be weak, but they weren’t a patient bunch. They had plenty of retired soldiers among the common populace. And they were standing right within Great Xia. There was no need for them to fear these outsiders.

Su Yu blanked out when he saw what happened next. Noticing what was happening, Brother Huang hurriedly pulled him aside. An one-armed old man had attempted to ram into him, but the old man had missed since Su Yu had been pulled aside in time.

The old man stared at Brother Huang gloomily and swore, “Damn it! How dare you ram into me? Are you trying to bully me?”

He walked away while cursing non-stop.
