Chapter 111: Come with Me

Su Yishan was a top-tier genius ranked among the top ten on the martial arts list. If Ye Yuan were allowed to search his house today, how could he ever show his face in the Danwu Academy again?

Ye Yuan's words were clearly a great humiliation for Su Yishan!

Faced with Su Yishan's fury, Ye Yuan chose to ignore it and strode toward Su Yishan's courtyard.

You're asking for death!

Su Yishan was beside himself with rage and struck a palm at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it and walked toward the gate as if nothing was happening.

Bang!

After a fierce palm clash, Su Yishan and Wu Luochen each retreated several steps, ending in a draw.

"Wu Luochen! How dare you strike!" Su Yishan said angrily.

Wu Luochen put on his ever-unchanged zombie face and said, "I've made it very clear: as long as you don't make a move against Ye Yuan, I won't interfere. But if you do, I won't stand idly by."

"You!" Su Yishan was utterly defeated by Wu Luochen; this guy was simply impervious to reason.

Ye Yuan walked slowly, but his steps never ceased, and he was about to enter the courtyard!

At that moment, Su Yishan felt an unprecedented humiliation!

He was the pride of the Su family, the favored son of the Danwu Academy—when had he ever suffered such disgrace?

Ye Yuan actually dared, in front of so many people, to go in and search his residence!

The most infuriating thing was that he couldn't do a thing about him!

"Ye Yuan, stop right there!" Su Yishan roared.

Ye Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard and kept walking.

"Stop, I'll call her out!" Su Yishan broke down and finally chose to compromise.

Sure enough, at that, Ye Yuan finally stopped, turned around to look at Su Yishan, clearly waiting for him to call someone out.

Su Yishan wanted to kill someone right now; Ye Yuan's actions had swept away his face like trash.

Although Ye Yuan ultimately didn't go in, since he agreed to call Liu Ruoshui out, he had essentially admitted defeat.

"Ye Yuan truly deserves to be called a genius who passed the Nine Heavens Path; he dares to sweep away Su Yishan's face like this."

"Heh heh, Su Yishan is usually arrogant without bounds, but today someone finally put him in his place. How satisfying!"

"Yeah, Su Yishan, relying on his second uncle's power, does whatever he wants in the Heaven-grade zone, and many people are angry but dare not speak. Now that someone tougher has come, who even dares to sweep his second uncle's face, sweeping his face is just a piece of cake."

"But Wu Luochen, such a proud person, is actually willing to be Ye Yuan's thug. That really surprises me. Could it be that he's already become Ye Yuan's underling?"

"I don't think so. They probably have some kind of agreement, and that agreement is very important to Wu Luochen, so he risks offending Su Yishan to act as a thug."

"Haha, look at Su Yishan's expression of wanting to kill but being unable to. It's the first time I've seen it, absolutely hilarious."

"But Ye Yuan might be happy today, but the upcoming Boundless Trial won't be so easy. Whether it's Elder Su or Su Yishan, they will probably stop at nothing to kill Ye Yuan."

The onlookers were all Heaven-grade students, and many whispered among themselves, even transmitting messages telepathically.

From their conversation, it was clear that Su Yishan was not very popular in the Heaven-grade zone, and many were watching the spectacle with schadenfreude.

Ye Yuan felt no burden at all in disgracing Su Yishan.

The Su family was a hidden rival of the Ye family, and he knew this well.

Since Su Yubai could attack him in broad daylight, Su Yishan could hardly become his friend.

Since Liu Ruoshui appeared at Su Yishan's residence, it was clear she had come to seek his protection, so naturally Ye Yuan and Su Yishan were enemies.

As for enemies, Ye Yuan had never been in the habit of saving their face.

Su Yishan's face was as dark as water, and his mood was extremely irritable.

No matter how he calculated, he could not have predicted that Wu Luochen would willingly act as Ye Yuan's thug!

"Still hiding inside? Get the hell out here!" Su Yishan said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Su Yishan somewhat regretted taking in Liu Ruoshui; a momentary lapse of lust had brought him such great trouble.

With Su Yishan's shout, a graceful and alluring figure appeared at the gate—it was Liu Ruoshui.

Liu Ruoshui's clothes were slightly disheveled, making her look somewhat disheveled, and her face was haggard; where was her former goddess-like demeanor?

She had been paying close attention to the situation outside and knew that today would likely not end well.

She had originally thought that finding Su Yishan as a backer would help her escape disaster, and had even given up her most precious thing for it, but she never expected that Su Yishan could not protect her at all.

"Senior Brother Su, I..." Liu Ruoshui looked helplessly at Su Yishan.

Su Yishan's face was gloomy, but he still stepped forward to shield her, a move that made Liu Ruoshui ecstatic.

Su Yishan naturally would not abandon her; the situation was now very clear: Liu Ruoshui was under his protection. If he let Ye Yuan deal with her, he would lose face completely.

Earlier, when Ye Yuan wanted to enter the courtyard, he could not spare himself to stop him, but now it would not be so easy for Wu Luochen and Ye Yuan to take the person away from under his nose.

Moreover, the matter had already escalated; as long as he stalled for a little while until his second uncle Su Yubai arrived, Ye Yuan would surely not dare to act recklessly.

"If you have something to say, ask away!" Su Yishan said to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was not concerned about Su Yishan's actions and nodded in response: "Liu Ruoshui, I ask you, was it you and Wan Yuan who fanned the flames when Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng bullied Lü'er?"

Liu Ruoshui was startled, not expecting Ye Yuan to come for this matter; no wonder he had arrived so quickly!

Liu Ruoshui's mind raced, thinking that there was no evidence left for this matter. At that time, only the four of them were present; Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng were dead, and Wan Yuan had fled. As long as she denied it outright, what could Ye Yuan do to her?

With this thought, Liu Ruoshui said loudly, "Ye Yuan, I know we had some grudges before, but that was all instigated by Wan Yuan! The blame should fall on the right person; you should go after him!"

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Stop the nonsense, I'm only asking you about Lü'er!"

Once Liu Ruoshui figured this out, she was not so afraid anymore. She puffed out her chest and said confidently, "No, I have no idea what you're talking about! I don't even know any Lü'er, so how could I harm her?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Liu Ruoshui grew more confident as she spoke.

"Then how do you explain that on the day of the Phantom Spirit Tower assessment, you and Wan Yuan sought out Lin Tiancheng?" Ye Yuan pressed.

"Lin Tiancheng was the chief disciple of the Miscellaneous Affairs Office; Wan Yuan wanted to befriend him. What's wrong with that? You clearly offended Lin Tiancheng yourself, yet you want to pin the blame on me. What kind of logic is that?"

Liu Ruoshui was also quick-witted; once she calmed down, she turned the tables on him.

Ye Yuan looked at Liu Ruoshui and suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down Liu Ruoshui's spine.

"What a sharp tongue. Since that's the case, you'll come with me. I have a way to prove whether what you say is true or false. If what you say is true, our past grievances will be wiped clean. If it's false... I, Ye Yuan, do not kill women. You will cripple your own dantian, withdraw from the Danwu Academy, and the past matters will also be settled!" Ye Yuan said calmly.
