Chapter 476: Who Exactly Are These Two People?
When Su Yanhua heard that not only had something happened to Su Yanyu, but that Su Yanjin most likely had also met with an accident, besides feeling sad and angry, Su Yanhua actually chuckled to himself deep in his heart. It was his turn to perform this time. But who would have known that Su Yizhi would practically ignore his existence and straightaway appoint an outsider who had come to Rejuvenation Valley for the first time? How could he not be angry at this?
“Exactly. The Su Family has got talents as well, such as…” continued someone. Su Yanhua felt delight in his heart. This time someone should acknowledge him, right?
“Isn’t there still Sister Xiu’er as an option? Wouldn’t it be the same level of skill if Sister Xiu’er was allowed to participate?” said the person after some thought.
Su Yanhua’s heart really dropped to the bottom of the valley at this. He would forever be the person who was ignored.
“All of you shut up. Refine your skills with this leisure time,” admonished Su Yizhen angrily.
Only then did the young people shut their mouths and began to leave the courtyard unwillingly.
Su Yizhen and the other elders exchanged looks with each other and left the courtyard as well.
Eventually, only Su Xiu’er and Jiang Wuhen remained. Jiang Wuhen had a smile on his face as he looked at Su Xiu’er guiltily. Then, he directed his eyes at the walls instead. He looked like he was ready to leap over the walls and escape at any time.
“Who exactly are your friends?” asked Su Xiu’er contemplatively.
“Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen. Have you not heard of them before?” answered Jiang Wuhen. When he saw that she did not have the intention to fight him, he relaxed. Jiang Wuhen had felt that the pseudonyms Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen had used earlier on were quite familiar. He only had the sudden realization as to who they were after hearing them reporting their own names just now.
“Do you mean the Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen who won the championship in one fell swoop at the assessment competition of vassal countries?” asked Su Xiu’er.
“Who else could it be besides them? I did feel that the names they gave were quite familiar at first, but I did not think it through in detail. If it were not for Grandfather saying their names out loud, I really would not have put it together,” said Jiang Wuhen.
“Is he your grandfather for you to address him as such?” Su Xiu’er put on a stoic face even as her ears slightly reddened in anger.
“I have addressed him wrongly. My bad, it’s my bad,” sputtered Jiang Wuhen as he immediately plastered a smile on his face again.
“I’ve heard that their cultivation has already reached the realm of Great Fulfilment?” Su Xiu’er continued asking.
“That sounds about right. If not, we would not have escaped Life Transforming Hall’s murderous interception during our journey here,” replied Jiang Wuhen with a nod of his head.
“No wonder Grandfather choose her.” There was a slight sense of loss in Su Xiu’er’s expression as she said this.
“Xiu’er, are you no longer angry?” asked Jiang Wuhen carefully.
“He is my grandfather. Why should I be angry at him?” retorted Su Xiu’er as she glared at Jiang Wuhen sulkily.
“What I mean is, are you no longer angry with me?” continued Jiang Wuhen even more carefully.
“Oh, that’s right. I would have forgotten all about it if you had not mentioned it. Grandfather had thought highly enough of you and to accept you as his disciple. Yet, you actually just left without even saying goodbye. You are someone who cannot differentiate good from bad. I will show you how I will settle you this time,” said Su Xiu’er as her willow-shaped eyebrows rose and her face fell. Then, she fought Jiang Wuhen straightaway once she finished speaking.
“Help!” echoed Jiang Wuhen’s sad and shrill wail throughout the village before he ran off helter-skelter.
Jiang Wuhen really wanted to give himself a fierce slap right now. Why did he bring up the matter when others had not? Wasn’t this the equivalent of looking for a beating? But then, he was afraid of pain, so he was unwilling to slap himself.
…
Su Yizhi walked Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen to his backyard. The view of a backyard which had been kept clean and tidy entered their lines of sight. It was not exactly what one would call exquisite, but there was a peacefulness to it that was simple and modest.
“Please take a seat. Sorry about the matter earlier. It must have looked like a joke to the both of you.” Su Yizhi had a peaceful attitude that made it very easy for people to feel close to him.
“It was nothing,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile. She could see that the members of the Su Family did not wish for her to represent them by participating in whatever the Sword Pill Meeting was on their behalf. It was only because it was a decision forced upon them by the prestige of Su Yizhi as the clan head that they had not dared to oppose him.
