36: The son-in-law of the Su family? A guest of honor!
Xuan Sha and his group did not go far.
They waited for news outside Broken Sword Valley, after all, Old Daoist Xuanwang’s life and death were unknown, and Li Yan, that Rebellious Disciple, was also in an unknown situation.
It wasn’t until Senior Brother Ming Shan saw Li Yan appear.
They were first surprised!
Then they saw that Li Yan was actually walking shoulder to shoulder with Elder Su of the Su Family, coming out together.
This!? Is this reasonable?
And from the looks of it, Elder Su’s attitude towards Li Yan was very polite?
Senior Brother Ming Shan and Second Apprentice-sister Ming Yue exchanged glances.
“What’s going on? Where is Old Ghost Xuanwang?”
“Why is Junior Brother Li Yan with Elder Su, and Elder Su’s attitude towards Li Yan is very respectful?”
Everyone had too many questions in their hearts. When they met Li Yan’s gaze, Li Yan’s expression was calm, not afraid of Senior Martial Uncle Mystic Fiend and the Disciples of Jingxu Sect in the slightest.
Senior Martial Uncle Mystic Fiend was about to step forward when he was scared back by a single glance from Elder Su.
The Realm suppression of a Blood Core Realm Cultivator over a Ban Xue Realm Cultivator was not something Senior Martial Uncle Mystic Fiend could withstand.
Elder Su only used one glance to make Xuan Sha breathless.
“This Little Friend Li is my benefactor. If you want to trouble him, please reconsider!”
Elder Su’s pressure overwhelmed Senior Martial Uncle Mystic Fiend, making him unable to lift his head.
“Junior… Junior wouldn’t dare!” Xuan Sha quickly cupped his hands to show respect.
They could only watch Li Yan swagger past them.
Senior Martial Uncle Mystic Fiend lowered his head and asked in a low voice, “Junior Nephew Li, where is that old scoundrel Old Daoist Xuanwang?”
Li Yan’s mouth curved upwards, “Who knows?”
With that, Li Yan walked past Xuan Sha.
He secretly asked Elder Su, “Elder Su, can you help me kill this Xuan Sha?”
Hearing Li Yan say this, Elder Su shook his head, “This Xuan Sha is wary of us. If he fights to the death, I would have to put in some effort.”
“If the sounds of fighting attract other Cultivators and something unexpected happens, we won’t be able to escape.”
Indeed.
There were too many variables now. It wouldn’t be fun if a powerful being was attracted during a fight.
“We should quickly head to Mi Mountain City to avoid the pursuit of the Su Family’s Shadow Slaves.”
“Follow me.”
They saw Elder Su wave his hand, summoning a floating樓船 from his Storage Ring.
This floating樓船 was over forty zhang long, which translated to a hundred-meter-long giant ship.
The Su Family’s flag was hung on the sails, indicating at a glance that this ship was very valuable and built with a large amount of Spiritual Wood.
The Senior Brother of Jingxu Sect and others couldn’t help but exclaim.
“As expected of the Su Family… so rich and powerful.”
“How many Heaven And Earth Treasures must have been consumed to build this樓船?”
“How exactly did Junior Brother Li Yan get to know that Elder Su, and Elder Su actually treats him as an honored guest?”
Ming Shan and Ming Yue, the siblings, watched Li Yan board the樓船, their hearts filled with doubt and envy.
What kind of status did Elder Su have?
He was so polite to Li Yan and even invited him to board the樓船.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Ming Shan noticed something more.
“Look, the Young Miss following behind Junior Brother seems to be Su Mo, the Su Family’s favored daughter of Heaven.”
“Could it be… this kid got lucky in love?”
Senior Brother Ming Shan stroked his chin, watching the Heavenly Immortal-like Su Mo obediently follow behind Li Yan.
He didn’t understand, this world was too crazy, he really didn’t understand.
Elder Su was polite to Li Yan, and Su Mo, the Su Family’s favored daughter of Heaven, deferred to Li Yan.
Ming Yue speculated at this time, “Junior Brother, he… wouldn’t have become the Su Family’s son-in-law, would he?”
Ming Shan slapped his thigh, “It’s really possible! With Junior Brother’s talent and Aptitude, he really could be favored by the Su Family.”
The Senior Brother and Second Apprentice-sister knew how high Li Yan’s talent was.
This kid learned everything quickly, and his Cultivation speed was even more rapid, he himself was not bad.
It was also possible for him, a small Outer Sect Disciple of Jingxu Sect, to become the Su Family’s son-in-law overnight.
Senior Brother Ming Shan showed an envious look, “That’s great, if only I could be favored by the Su Family…”
“Brother, stop dreaming. In terms of temperament, you can’t compare to Junior Brother, and in terms of looks, you are not as good as him either. Junior Brother’s Cultivation talent surpasses yours by thousands of times.”
Facing his sister’s sharp tongue, Ming Shan deflated.
Lies don’t hurt people, the truth is a sharp knife!
What his sister said was true, and it stung.
But the siblings’ guesses, no matter how long they speculated, were just guesses.
Under the gaze of Xuan Sha and the others, Li Yan and Elder Su boarded the樓船.
This floating樓船 began to fly eastward, heading towards Mi Mountain City.
At this moment, inside the banquet hall of the樓船.
Elder Su enthusiastically invited, “Little Friend, please take the main seat!”
“Elder Su, you are a Senior, how can I be so presumptuous as to sit in the main seat?”
Elder Su forcefully pulled Li Yan to sit in the main seat.
“That’s wrong! If it weren’t for your actions, I would have been a Shadow Slave for the rest of my life. Great kindness needs no words, more words are useless!”
It made sense.
Elder Su, after being imprisoned for nearly a century, had thought there was no hope in this life, but was rescued by Li Yan.
At this moment, nothing he did could express his gratitude to Li Yan.
“Little Friend Li, you not only saved me, but also so many Juniors of my Su Family.”
“Just sit in the main seat with peace of mind. Don’t decline this small matter again!”
Seeing this, Li Yan had no choice but to sit down, watching a group of beautiful Su Family female Disciples serve him delicious dishes.
To be honest, Li Yan was indeed hungry.
As for why Cultivators still needed to eat?
They certainly did!
Now was not the era of ancient immortal arts, where Cultivators could survive without eating or drinking by absorbing Spiritual Qi.
At least in Bugui Mountain, there was no trace of Spiritual Qi.
Cultivators fought by driving their blood Qi, and when their blood Qi was exhausted, they could only replenish it by ingesting external substances.
In front of Li Yan were large amounts of beast meat and fresh vegetables.
Eating meat in large mouthfuls, drinking wine in large gulps!
With one mouthful of beast meat, the blood Qi in his Dantian began to surge.
After drinking this wine, Li Yan instantly felt energized, his blood seemed to boil, and his strength increased a few points.
“Good wine! This must be the red yellow wine brewed by the Su Family!”
Upon hearing this, Elder Su stroked his beard and laughed, “I didn’t expect Little Friend, at such a young age, to recognize my Su Family’s red yellow wine.”
Li Yan chuckled dryly, how could he recognize it? He only knew so much through the memories left by Old Daoist Xuanwang.
Elder Su, however, began to introduce it endlessly.
“That’s right, the essential wine for my Su Family Cultivators when they are out and about is red yellow wine. One sip can boost blood Qi.”
“If Little Friend likes it, I have ten jars of red yellow wine to give you!”
Li Yan shamelessly cupped his hands, “How can I accept this?”
Although he said that, Li Yan had already put the ten jars of red yellow wine into his Storage Ring.
The old and the young exchanged glances. Li Yan and Elder Su didn’t say much, their words were all in the wine!
Drinking strong wine, eating meat in large mouthfuls.
The spicy alcohol scent swept away the fatigue of the day.
Eating large chunks of beast meat, thicker than a leg, replenished the consumption of these past few days.
Looking out the window at the scenery, the floating樓船 traveled at an extremely fast speed, avoiding the dangers of the journey.
There was also a sturdy formation inside the樓船, so Li Yan could even sleep peacefully.
Just as the banquet was underway, a Disciple pushed the door open and came in to report.
“Elder Su, there’s a group of people ahead blocking our way!”
Elder Su, who was chatting happily with Li Yan, frowned, “Who dares to block our樓船?”
