"Wanyou thanks Brother Wang." Zhang Wanyou's voice was like the tinkling of spring water, pleasant and melodious.
"Hahaha, with this, doesn't Brother Wang become my brother-in-law?" Zhang Tai laughed heartily.
"Indeed, Second Brother is quite right. If Su Ming knew this news, wouldn't he be so furious he'd spit blood and die?" Zhang Xuan clapped his hands and laughed.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you... stop joking." Zhang Wanyou felt both shy and angry, her cheeks flushed red like white jade that seemed ready to drip with water; she didn't dare to look at Wang Yi even once.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Liang saw his precious daughter in such a state and could easily see through her thoughts.
"Zhang Family Head, I have a question to ask." Wang Yi said.
"Wang Yi, you can just call me Uncle from now on, no need to be so formal." Zhang Liang waved his hand and smiled, "What do you wish to ask?"
"I heard that Heimu Mountain was recently raided by a certain force; I wonder what the outcome was?" Wang Yi asked.
"Oh, so it's about this matter. That group of bandits has already been eliminated by the Chu Family, but the bandit leader Li Kaishan was not captured." Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Wang Xianzi, why do you inquire about this?"
"I heard that the bandits of Heimu Mountain were wantonly killing civilians. Now that they have been wiped out, it is indeed a great relief." Wang Yi feigned great joy.
"Hmph, that Li Kaishan must have been emboldened; he even dared to touch the daughter of old man Chu Yi. He ended up in such a situation; who can he blame?" Zhang Liang snorted coldly.
"Uncle is absolutely right." Wang Yi maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he felt bitter. It seemed his suspicions were correct; those who pursued him and Niu Meng, the Blood-Clothed Guards, were indeed people from Chu Yixuan. How could he take revenge for this pursuit? If it weren't for his good fortune, he might have already died. Yet, Chu Yixuan had deep feelings for him; given this incident, he probably didn't even know. It was truly difficult to handle!
At that moment, Wang Yi felt a wave of distress. As for Niu Meng, he held great admiration for Chu Yixuan. What would happen if he knew that the one who nearly killed him was actually Chu Yixuan?
"Brother Zhang, how is Sun Meng?" Wang Yi asked with some helplessness.
"Sun Meng has woken up, Brother Zhang, come with me!" Zhang Xuan said.
After a while, Zhang Xuan led Wang Yi through a long corridor, over an arched bridge, and to a pavilion, arriving at a courtyard filled with vibrant flowers, where the fragrance was delightful.
Seeing Wang Yi enter, Sun Meng exclaimed joyfully, "Brother Wang, it's great to see you safe!"
"How is your injury?" Wang Yi nodded and asked.
"Thanks to Young Master Zhang's care these past few days, otherwise I wouldn't have woken up so quickly. It's just that my younger brother and Third Brother..." Sun Meng suddenly recalled the tragic deaths of Sun Shan and Sun Ba at Su Ming's hands, his heart filled with rage and killing intent.
"They won't die in vain," Wang Yi noticed the killing intent in Sun Meng's eyes. He placed a hand on Sun Meng's shoulder and said, "Sooner or later, they will pay for Sun Ba and Sun Shan's lives."
"Mm." Sun Meng nodded heavily.
The two chatted for a while. Sun Meng also realized that with his current strength, it would be difficult to take revenge. He buried his desire for vengeance deep in his heart, waiting for the right moment.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. During this time, Wang Yi stayed in the Zhang Family courtyard without stepping out even once, and the Su Hai Brothers were nowhere to be found.
One day, Zhang Xuan came to him and said, "Brother Wang, the time has come; my father has made arrangements."
Wang Yi nodded and followed Zhang Xuan out of the courtyard. As for Sun Meng, he had already agreed to serve the Zhang Family under Zhang Xuan's persuasion.
Hall.
"Wang Xianzi, your strength has improved quite a bit!" Zhang Liang said with a smile as he looked at Wang Yi.
"Uncle, you flatter me," Wang Yi replied respectfully, but in his heart, he felt increasingly wary of Zhang Liang. He had only made a small advancement in his cultivation, yet Zhang Liang could see through it at a glance, which was truly frightening.
Zhang Wanyou stood gracefully in the hall, dressed in a light yellow Palace Attire from the Lotus Group. Her long, glossy black hair cascaded down her jade-like shoulders, smooth as silk. Her skin was as white as snow and seemed like pure white jade. Upon seeing Wang Yi, she softly said, "Greetings, Brother Wang."
"Alright, the time has come; let's set off!" Zhang Liang announced.
Everyone agreed and walked out of the Crimson Door.
Outside, the carriage was already prepared. Dozens of warriors lined up behind it, all of whom were Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Warriors. It seemed these were the elite of the Zhang Family.
Everyone mounted their horses, except for Zhang Wanyou, who took the carriage.
Zhang Liang waved his hand, and they headed toward the Arena.
Meanwhile, Rong City was bustling with activity, filled with people and vehicles. The wide streets were packed to the brim; one could not see the end of the crowd.
Almost all the heads of families from the surrounding ten or more cities had come to Rong City to witness this grand event.
As one of the Three Great Families in Rong City, the Zhang Family moved through the streets with great authority and ease.
At that moment, a group of people approached, and from a distance, loud shouts could be heard, their voices arrogant. The common folk saw this and dared not speak out, burying their heads as they moved along. Wang Yi looked into the distance and saw that they relied on their authority, with strong guards accompanying them. Wherever they passed, no one dared to obstruct them.
At the front were three riders, all mounted on tall horses, exuding an imposing presence. The one in the middle appeared to be around forty years old, dressed in a golden robe with a purple and gold belt, showcasing extreme luxury and wealth. His eyebrows were prominent, his gaze sharp like lightning, and he had a few strands of black beard. With every gesture, he subtly revealed an aura of strength. Two young men in their twenties followed closely beside him, also dressed in extravagant attire.
At this moment, the Golden Robed Man could be faintly heard saying, "This is our Rong City’s Three Clans Competition, which is of great significance. You brothers must give it your all today. As for Heber Fu, you need not concern yourselves with him; just admit defeat if you encounter him. However, if you meet the Zhang Family brothers, you must strive for victory."
"Understood." The two young men responded respectfully, not daring to defy him. These two were none other than the Su Hai Brothers.
"Father, rest assured. With my strength, Zhang Xuan will definitely not be my match," Zhang Xuan said proudly, his voice revealing an unspoken confidence.
"Yes, having confidence is important, but what I want is results—victory! Do you understand? Only then can our Su Family smoothly become related by marriage to the Zhang Family. At that time..." The Golden Robed Man's eyes sparkled with intensity as he smiled coldly at the end and chuckled.
"Son obeys." The Su Hai Brothers cupped their hands in salute.
"Brother Zhang, it has been a while." The middle-aged man in golden clothing looked at the approaching Zhang Liang and others, his gaze flickering as he smiled.
"Su Brother, long time no see. How have you been?" Zhang Liang replied with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhang," Su Zhe said with a smile. "I wonder if Brother Zhang still remembers the agreement between our families?"
"How could I forget such a matter? Su Brother, you can rest assured. We have known each other for decades; have you ever heard of Zhang Liang going back on his word?" Zhang Liang replied.
"That is very good," Su Zhe said with a smile.
“Wang Yi!”
The Su Hai Brothers looked around and suddenly realized that the young man Wang Yi beside Zhang Liang was the very brother they had been desperately searching for over the past ten days. A surge of killing intent rose in their hearts, and one of them shouted, “Someone, capture this person! Kill him without mercy.” Before the words were even out of his mouth, the warriors of the Su Family began to surround them. The other families, seeing this, stopped to watch and murmured among themselves.
“Stop!” Both Zhang Liang and Su Zhe’s expressions darkened at this scene. On such a fine day, causing such a commotion would only tarnish the reputations of both the Su and Zhang families.
“Father, it’s this person who injured me,” Su Ming said urgently upon seeing his father’s grim expression.
“Brother Zhang, what is going on here?” Su Zhe asked, noticing Su Ming’s anger and feeling somewhat convinced. However, he was still wary of Zhang Liang, whose gaze was fixed sharply on Wang Yi.
“Su Brother, please calm down,” Zhang Liang replied with a calm demeanor and a smile. “Wang Yi, why don’t you greet Uncle Su?”
“Wang Yi, greetings to the head of the Su Family,” Wang Yi said nonchalantly, cupping his fists in respect.
“Now that Wang Yi has become my Zhang Family’s son-in-law, he will represent my son in this competition,” Zhang Liang said as he noticed the puzzled look on Su Zhe’s face. He stroked his beard leisurely as he spoke.
“What?” Su Zhe and the three Su Hai Brothers exclaimed in unison.
“Wang Yi? That name sounds somewhat familiar,” Su Zhe realized he had lost his composure but quickly regained his composure. He stared at Wang Yi for a moment and muttered to himself. However, he soon fixed his gaze back on Zhang Liang, saying sternly, “Zhang Liang, have you forgotten the agreement between our two families? If you do not provide me with a satisfactory answer regarding this matter, do not blame me for being rude.”
“How could I forget? Su Brother, although Wang Yi has become my son-in-law, he has not yet consummated his marriage with my daughter,” Zhang Liang said, fully aware of Su Zhe’s intentions. He waved his hand dismissively. “The agreement between our families still stands. As long as one of your two worthy nephews can defeat Wang Yi, then my daughter will marry whoever wins.”
“Father, this absolutely cannot happen!” Su Ming exclaimed in shock. That Wang Yi was someone who could contend with Heber Fu. How could he possibly defeat him?
“Uncle Zhang, this is a matter of my Rong City’s Three Great Families. How can an outsider like Wang Yi replace the Zhang Family?” Su Hai's thoughts raced, and he quickly spoke up. Anger and hatred surged within him; indeed, Wang Yi was a disaster for him. Ever since he encountered him, he had not experienced any good fortune. Now, it was even worse—he was meddling in the marriage alliance between the Su and Zhang families, which was truly detestable.
“Wang Yi is my Zhang Family's son-in-law; how can he be considered an outsider?” Zhang Liang replied with a smile, “Su Brother, what do you think?”
“Hmph, a Third Level Earth Spirit Realm martial artist. My son can surely defeat him. Brother Zhang, you should focus on planning the marriage alliance between our two families!” Su Zhe said hastily. He did not think too much about it; seeing that Wang Yi was only at the Third Level while Su Hai was at the Fifth Level and had received his true teachings, how could he possibly lose to a third-rate character?
“Father, no!” Su Ming exclaimed urgently again. He knew that Su Zhe only knew about Su Ming's defeat at Wang Yi's hands but was unaware that Su Hai had also lost to Wang Yi. This was because the Su Hai brothers feared punishment and did not dare to tell Su Zhe.
“Hmph, are you brothers unable to defeat even a Third Level martial artist?” Su Zhe's expression darkened as he coldly snorted.
Su Zhe's imposing presence made the Su Hai brothers immediately too frightened to speak, lowering their heads in silence.
“Wang Yi, my dear nephew, a graceful lady is a gentleman’s ideal partner. Whether you can win her heart depends on your own efforts,” Zhang Liang said as he stroked his beard leisurely.
“Uncle Zhang, rest assured. Wang Yi will give it his all,” Wang Yi replied confidently.
“That's excellent,” Zhang Liang smiled and said, “Su Brother, please.”
Su Zhe's expression was certainly not pleasant, but due to the presence of others and having lost face, he could only suppress his anger and leave with a flick of his sleeve.
