Chapter 109: Who is Su Yishan?

Earlier, in the courtyard of Su Yishan, a Heaven-ranked student from the back mountain, Liu Ruoshui looked at Su Yishan before her in panic.

“Senior Brother Su, you’re the only one in the entire academy who can save me now. Please, I beg you, save me!”

Even when facing her family’s utter disregard, Liu Ruoshui had never felt so helpless!

After Ye Yuan successfully traversed the Nine Heavens Path, Liu Ruoshui felt terrible. Distraught, she went to Wan Yuan’s residence to discuss countermeasures with him.

But when she arrived at Wan Yuan’s place, she found he wasn’t there at all.

At first, Liu Ruoshui thought Wan Yuan hadn’t returned because of some business. But she waited and waited without seeing him, then asked other students, who all said they hadn’t seen Wan Yuan.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Liu Ruoshui’s heart.

Sure enough, after inquiring with the student guarding the academy gate, she learned that Wan Yuan had left the academy long ago.

Liu Ruoshui cursed Wan Yuan’s ancestors for eight generations in her heart, but that didn’t help her at all.

If Ye Yuan couldn’t find Wan Yuan and took all his anger out on her, she was finished!

After cursing, Liu Ruoshui felt deeply helpless.

Ye Yuan’s strength had firmly entered the ranks of Heaven-ranked students; killing her would be as easy as turning over his hand!

Liu Ruoshui still had some influence among lower-ranked students, but Heaven-ranked students…

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Liu Ruoshui. She thought of Su Yishan and felt she had grasped her last lifeline!

When Wan Yuan was injured, Su Yishan had said he wanted to kill Ye Yuan. It seemed their enmity was no small matter.

More importantly, wasn’t Elder Su Su Yishan’s second uncle?

Although Liu Ruoshui couldn’t influence Heaven-ranked students, she had long learned their backgrounds clearly.

The relationship between Su Yubai and Su Yishan wasn’t widely known in the Danwu Academy, but some people knew about it.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruoshui hesitated no longer. She went directly to the back mountain and found Su Yishan.

Su Yishan looked at Liu Ruoshui with some amusement and said, “Junior Sister Liu is very close to Junior Brother Wan. What made you think of coming to me?”

If Su Yishan hadn’t spoken, it might have been fine, but his words made Liu Ruoshui’s tears gush out like a burst dam.

“That coward Wan Yuan ran away long ago! Boohoo… Senior Brother Su, as long as you’re willing to save me, I’ll do anything!” At this moment, Liu Ruoshui was truly emotional, crying so pitifully.

Su Yishan was taken aback: “Wan Yuan ran away? Where did he run to?”

Liu Ruoshui sobbed, “Where else could he go? He must have gone back to seek protection from his father! Ye Yuan is already at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Yuan Qi; killing him is like killing a dog. Besides his father, who else can protect him?”

Su Yishan laughed dryly: “I never noticed before that Junior Brother Wan was so spineless. A mere Ye Yuan scared him like this!”

After speaking, Su Yishan sized up Liu Ruoshui, whose face was streaked with tears, and said teasingly, “You said you’d do anything?”

Liu Ruoshui trembled all over; how could she not understand Su Yishan’s meaning?

But at this point, if even Su Yishan refused to help her, she was as good as dead!

After a fierce inner struggle, Liu Ruoshui finally gritted her teeth and nodded.

Her appearance piqued Su Yishan’s curiosity: “Judging by your look, could it be that you’re still a virgin?”

Liu Ruoshui’s pretty face blushed to the roots of her ears, but she nodded again.

Although Liu Ruoshui was naturally seductive, she had always guarded her body, knowing it was her greatest asset.

But now, forced by Ye Yuan, she was offering it voluntarily. At this thought, Liu Ruoshui’s hatred for Ye Yuan deepened!

Ye Yuan, one day, I’ll make you die a miserable death!

“Hahaha, good! Very good!” Su Yishan laughed heartily and turned into the house.

Liu Ruoshui’s eyes flickered, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and followed him in…

…

Wu Luochen dodged Ye Yuan’s sword strike, still feeling a lingering fear.

That sword intent was too terrifying; a direct confrontation would mean death or injury!

The moment Ye Yuan drew his sword, Wu Luochen suddenly felt a great sense of crisis.

The instinct from countless battles told him that this sword strike absolutely could not be met head-on!

So he immediately activated his movement technique and narrowly dodged the strike.

Wu Luochen looked somewhat disheveled, but that didn’t mean he was weak—it was because he had been too careless.

In fact, Wu Luochen was a very troublesome opponent. Even Martial Ranking experts ranked higher than him found him a headache.

Wu Luochen was a famous battle maniac in the Danwu Academy. Not only was his combat power astonishing, but he also possessed extraordinary combat talent and a very precise grasp of battle situations!

His loss just now was due to agreeing to a direct confrontation with Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had just fused sword intent on the Nine Heavens Path, and with the sword light emitted by the eight-restriction spirit weapon Canghua Sword, even if Wu Luochen were made of iron, one hit would be enough to finish him.

This sword strike from Ye Yuan only showed that he had the strength to fight Wu Luochen, not that he could defeat him.

Wu Luochen was at the Second Layer of Liquid Essence, and his combat power far exceeded that of his peers!

Those stronger than him were basically at the Third Layer of Liquid Essence, showing how formidable he was.

Although Ye Yuan had the ability to fight above his level, it was hard to say how things would turn out against Wu Luochen.

No matter how strong Ye Yuan’s sword intent was, it would be useless if he couldn’t hit his opponent.

Wu Luochen, who had just narrowly escaped death, was not frustrated but became extremely excited!

An opponent too weak would be no fun!

Before coming, Wu Luochen had worried whether it was too early. Although he knew Ye Yuan’s combat power was astonishing, he was still a full major realm above Ye Yuan.

But now, he had completely dismissed that thought.

With just this one sword strike, Ye Yuan had already qualified to be his opponent!

“Hey hey, Junior Brother Ye, let’s have a fight! Your swordsmanship is so amazing, I really want to see it!” Wu Luochen shamelessly went back on his word.

Ye Yuan’s face stiffened. He hadn’t expected this guy to be so persistent. He frowned and said, “Senior Brother Wu, I really have important business today. If you keep pestering me like this, I’ll have no choice but to fight you to the death!”

Seeing Ye Yuan truly angry, Wu Luochen stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes, and said, “Junior Brother Ye, how about this? I’ll go with you to handle your business and do whatever you say. After that, you just have to fight me once.”

Ye Yuan dropped a “Suit yourself” and walked off on his own.

Wu Luochen chuckled and followed.

…

Ignoring the impropriety of a man entering a woman’s quarters, Ye Yuan barged straight into Liu Ruoshui’s residence, but found it empty.

At this moment, Wu Luochen helped out. He found out where Liu Ruoshui had gone and leaned in to say, “Junior Brother Ye, I’ve found out. Junior Sister Liu went to Su Yishan’s place!”

Ye Yuan was taken aback: “Who is Su Yishan?”

“No way? You don’t even know who Su Yishan is?” This time it was Wu Luochen’s turn to be surprised.

“Why should I know who he is? Wait, his surname is Su? Is he also from the Su family?” Ye Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked Wu Luochen.

Wu Luochen gave a thumbs-up and praised, “Junior Brother Ye is indeed smart. Su Yishan is Su Yubai’s nephew! Moreover, he’s tenth on the Martial Ranking! But in my estimation, Su Yishan probably has the strength to break into the top five now! Junior Brother Ye, maybe… you should just forget it?”
