Chapter 1858: Zheng Yang Meets His Girlfriend (Part 2)

Zheng Yang scratched his head, full of embarrassment.

"I agreed!"

Seeing his expression, Wei Ruyan shook her head, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Need me to poison them? Guaranteed instant death, no traces left, and I can help dispose of the bodies, poison the whole family, cut off any chance of revenge..."

"No need..."

Shivering, Zheng Yang suddenly felt that seeking out this junior sister might not have been a good idea.

"Don't be polite. If you don't want to poison them now, I can also refine some medicine that turns them into puppets. After taking it, they'll willingly become your plaything and won't resist..."

Wei Ruyan's expression remained unchanged.

"Ahem..." Zheng Yang put on a serious face: "Junior sister, I suddenly remembered I have other things to do. You look busy too, so I won't trouble you. Farewell..."

He turned and left.

As expected of the Poison Hall Master... truly someone not to be trifled with!

Before he had gone far, a gust of wind sounded behind him, and a faint figure followed. Turning his head, he was scared out of his wits.

"Junior sister..."

Zheng Yang's face turned bitter.

"Alright, enough nonsense. I was just speaking casually, I'm not a murderer! Even if I wanted to kill, it would have to be an ancient sage. Ordinary people don't interest me!"

Wei Ruyan snorted.

She had only been joking. Though she was the Poison Hall Master, she wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately. How could she casually poison people to death?

If she did that, the teacher would probably be the first to beat her to death.

"But..." Zheng Yang's face was bitter.

Even though he knew she was definitely joking, he didn't dare to casually be around such a powerful figure who could release poison at any time!

If she got angry and poisoned a bunch of people, they would die in vain and he couldn't escape blame.

"No buts. Lead the way. If you talk nonsense again, I'll poison you mute first!"

Wei Ruyan waved her jade hand.

"..." Zheng Yang almost cried.

What kind of situation was this?

If only he hadn't talked nonsense with her... Now he was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.

The two quickly flew out of Hongtian Academy's grounds. Before long, they arrived at a place and stopped. Before them appeared a massive mansion, stretching endlessly, its extent unknown.

"That's not right..."

Standing in the air and looking around, Zheng Yang was utterly confused.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ruyan came over.

"This place where I used to live was a slum. How did it become such a huge mansion?"

Zheng Yang landed, looking puzzled.

His family wasn't well-off; otherwise, with proper education, he wouldn't have failed to get into Wang Chao's class.

A year and a half ago, this was just a slum. When did such a large mansion appear?

"That's simple. Just ask someone..."

Wei Ruyan snorted lightly and landed. She walked a few steps to a tea stall and looked at the vendor: "Friend, I'd like to ask, was this mansion just built?"

The vendor, initially unwilling to respond, saw the girl's appearance and immediately smiled: "Miss, you must be new to Tianxuan City! This mansion started construction a year ago and was completed in less than a month. The finest craftsmen were hired. Look at the layout and architecture; I heard they even employed a landscape architect. It's more imposing than the imperial palace!"

"They employed a landscape architect?"

Wei Ruyan and Zheng Yang exchanged glances.

Others might not know about landscape architects, but they did. They were extremely rare. Even for a big family like the Zhangs, finding one wasn't easy. And here, one appeared to build a luxury mansion?

"Whose residence is this?"

Unable to contain himself, Zheng Yang asked curiously.

"The Su family!" the vendor said.

"Su?" Zheng Yang was puzzled. "When did a Su family appear in Tianxuan Royal City?"

The four great families of Tianxuan Royal City were Wang, Liu, Bai, and Du, each renowned. He had never heard of any Su family.

"You don't know the Su family? The patriarch is Su Maoqing!"

Seeing his confusion, the vendor frowned.

"Su Maoqing?" Zheng Yang's body swayed, as if hearing something unbelievable. "His... daughter is Su Feifei?"

"Yes!"

The vendor nodded. "If not for his daughter finding a good son-in-law, could Su Maoqing live in such a mansion? To be honest, two years ago, he came to my stall and couldn't even afford tea, so poor he barely had clothes. Now he spends money like water. I heard yesterday he spent over ten gold coins on a meal..."

"Son-in-law?" Interrupting, Zheng Yang clenched his fists.

"Yes, looks like you don't know. But asking me is right. I've been doing business here for over ten years; I know everything about the area!"

The vendor opened up, unable to stop: "It's his daughter Su Feifei. Somehow she got to know some young master from an empire, rich and powerful. That's how they got this mansion. Otherwise, do you think just the father and daughter could afford such a big place?"

"I see..."

Zheng Yang shook his head, as if some knot was about to loosen.

"This Su Feifei is the girl you liked before? Looks like her taste isn't great!"

Wei Ruyan chuckled, sending a voice transmission.

What was a young master from some empire compared to Zheng Yang?

This Su Feifei actually chose someone like that, abandoning the pearl before her. Who knew what she was thinking?

"I..." Zheng Yang couldn't speak.

Back when he was about to become the teacher's disciple, he had just suffered a setback. His confession was rejected, causing his fierce spear technique to become hesitant, ultimately failing to enter Teacher Wang Chao's door.

"Look, they're coming out..."

Just then, the mansion's door creaked open slowly. A pretty young girl, arm in arm with a middle-aged man, walked out slowly.

The girl wasn't very beautiful, of average looks, far inferior to Wei Ruyan, Zhao Ya, and even Shen Biru. The middle-aged man beside her was obese, ugly, and his build was even more exaggerated than Yuan Tao's.

Arm in arm with such a young man, a normal person would feel ashamed, but the girl walked proudly, as if escorting a noble and handsome prince, her face full of indescribable pride and arrogance.

Wei Ruyan sneered: "So ugly, so old, and he's called a young master?"

In her view, so-called young masters were handsome, dashing, and spent money like water. She didn't expect this one to be fat, ugly, and old. How could the girl fall for him?

"Let's go!"

Letting out a breath, Zheng Yang turned around.

This was the first girl he liked, secretly in love for no less than five years. Coming back this time, he only wanted to see her once and resolve the obsession in his heart. Since he had seen her and she seemed... happy, he was satisfied. The knot could be untied.

"Go? The show hasn't even started. How can we go?"

Wei Ruyan smiled lightly, the corners of her mouth lifting.
