437: Brother Liang...I'm really not familiar with him.
However, ever since meeting Xu Sanyan, Jiang Yun'er changed. She hadn't contacted anyone else for a long time, and she no longer fed the fish in her pond, letting them starve.
In the past, Jiang Yun'er would always write to them, talking about daily trifles while also leaving them in suspense, lest the fish get off the hook.
But ever since she witnessed Xu Sanyan's excellence, she finally understood what a true "Young Talent" was.
Not only did he achieve Soul Refinement Completion at a young age, but he also cultivated the Dao of formations and was a Great Master of formations. Even Danzhou Mountain personally admitted that Xu Sanyan's attainments in the Dao of formations were not beneath his own!
Compared to him, she suddenly felt that the fish in her pond were too small, as small as loaches, only able to wriggle in a mud pit.
She should open her arms and embrace bigger fish.
Therefore, Jiang Yun'er, regardless of her reputation, had to compete with Qin Shutong for Xu Sanyan. This would be an Opportunity for her to reach the top of the pyramid, and Jiang Yu absolutely could not ruin it.
Jiang Yun'er's mind raced, thinking about how to resolve the current situation.
"You know him?"
Xu Sanyan asked.
Jiang Yun'er came back to her senses, nodding lightly, "Yes, this person is the second son of the Jiang Family Head, named Jiang Yu. I only met him twice by chance before, so it doesn't really count as knowing him."
Doesn't count as knowing him?
Xu Sanyan looked at the overjoyed Jiang Yu, then turned to look at Jiang Yun'er.
Do you dare to say that to his face again?
Xu Sanyan smiled slightly. If she said they weren't familiar, then they weren't. Besides, what did their familiarity have to do with him? Even if the two of them had slept together, he wouldn't care.
"Yun'er, long time no see. Why are you here? I just went to your residence to look for you, and they said you came here..."
As Jiang Yu spoke, he reached out to grasp Jiang Yun'er's hand, causing her to quickly retreat, her expression turning ugly as she said, "Young Master Jiang, please respect yourself."
Jiang Yu was stunned, still not understanding what had happened. He had been able to touch her hand the last time they met, so why was she so distant this time?
"Yun'er, you..."
Jiang Yu suddenly turned to look at Xu Sanyan, sensing that Jiang Yun'er's change might be related to this person. So, he vented all his resentment onto Xu Sanyan, pointing at him and asking,
"Who are you?!"
The formation Great Master behind him saw that the situation was not right and quietly turned away, pretending he didn't exist.
Jiang Yun'er's heart tightened, and she quickly explained, "Young Master Jiang, don't be rude. This is Young Master Liang, a Great Master of formations."
"A Great Master of formations?"
Jiang Yu was greatly surprised. Looking at his age, which was not much different from his own, he was actually a Great Master of formations?
But what if he was a Great Master of formations? How dare he try to snatch a woman from him? He was the Young Lord of the Nantian Valley Jiang Family. Who would dare to compete with him?
This boy has already found his Dao to death!
Ever since Jiang Yu gained the Family's Pay attention to, everyone who used to look down on him changed their demeanor. No matter where he went, he was greeted with smiles, gradually developing his arrogant personality.
However, Jiang Yu was not foolish. In front of those whose cultivation and status were higher than his own, he never displayed his arrogant side; instead, he was extremely humble. Therefore, the elders in his Family had a good impression of him.
With this back and forth, others became even more afraid to provoke him, which further fueled his arrogance and gradually shaped his personality.
"Do you dare to compete with me? The loser will never appear before Yun'er again!"
Jiang Yu held his sword and shouted, his tone aggressive.
Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. Where did this idiot come from, wanting to die as soon as he appeared?
Are all Jiang Family members like this?
He remembered that his brother Jiang Yan wasn't much better than him back then. One could only say they were truly a Family; the Jiang Family's upbringing was excellent.
"Young Master Jiang, you mustn't!" Jiang Yun'er said anxiously.
Is this silly boy looking for death? If he wants to die, don't die here. No one would care if he drowned in a random latrine, but dying here would be troublesome.
Jiang Yu thought she was worried about causing a death, so he comforted her, "Yun'er, don't be afraid. I'll go easy on him. At most, I'll just break both his legs."
Jiang Yun'er grew even more anxious. Before she could speak, Xu Sanyan had already stood up.
"Heh heh, alright. I'd like to see how you'll break my legs."
Then, without further ado, he flickered and disappeared from his spot. His speed was so fast that the three people present had no time to react, as if he vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!"
"My legs!"
Only a scream was heard, and Jiang Yu was already sprawled on the ground, his two thighs twisted and entangled, his lower limb bones completely broken. He could only lie on the ground helplessly, wailing.
"Young Master Liang, stop!"
"Liang brother, show mercy!"
Two voices sounded simultaneously. The former came from Jiang Yun'er's mouth, and the latter from Li Wuxing's mouth.
Xu Sanyan lowered the raised palm, temporarily sparing his life.
If it weren't to maintain his persona, breaking Jiang Yu's legs would not be the only thing he had done.
Li Wuxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Yu was still alive. Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise how would he explain it to the Jiang Family?
Jiang Yu saw Li Wuxing, his twisted face full of hatred, and he shrieked, "Uncle Li, quickly arrest him, arrest him! I'm going to kill him!!"
"Shut up!"
Li Wuxing roared angrily. This good-for-nothing almost caused a huge problem!
If Xu Sanyan had killed Jiang Yu just now, Li Wuxing would have been unable to stand by and watch, and he would have had to fight him.
Honestly, Li Wuxing was not confident of victory. They were both at Soul Refinement Completion, and he knew nothing about the other party's methods, so how could he be sure of winning?
"Thank you, Liang brother, for showing mercy. It's embarrassing to say, but this boy's father has a good relationship with me. This old brother shamelessly asks for a favor, and hopes that Liang brother won't bother with him."
"Uncle Li..."
Jiang Yu couldn't understand. What was this person's identity that he could make the dignified Junior Lord of Fate discuss things so politely?
"Since this old brother has said so, let's let this matter go. Please take him back and discipline him well, and don't let him cause trouble again."
"Thank you, Liang brother."
Li Wuxing glared at Jiang Yu, who was a disappointment, and then picked him up and left.
Xu Sanyan withdrew his gaze, giving Jiang Yun'er a meaningful glance, then continued to close his eyes and rest.
Jiang Yun'er's heart, which had just settled, rose again. Although Xu Sanyan said nothing, it was as if he had said a lot.
After this commotion, the little bit of goodwill she had managed to accumulate earlier was probably completely exhausted.
Jiang Yun'er was furious, her face flushed red, and she cursed inwardly... That useless Jiang Yu ruined my important matter!
"Liang gege... I'm really not familiar with him, and I don't know why he suddenly acted like this..."
Before she could finish, Xu Sanyan raised a hand to stop her, "No need to say more. You two don't need to explain anything to me. I'm only willing to teach you because of my agreement with the Prefect."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun'er's heart sank, and she wished she could rush over and tear Jiang Yu into a million pieces.
That useless good-for-nothing who causes more harm than good! This old lady actually mistook that idiot for a Young Talent before. I must have been blind!
