Ye Yuan was stunned. "Who is Su Yishan?"
"No way. You don't even know who Su Yishan is?" This time around, it was Wu Luochen's turn to be stunned.
"Why do I have to know who he is? Hang on, his surname is Su? Is he from the Su Family?" Ye Yuan suddenly recalled something and asked Wu Luochen.
Wu Luochen raised his thumb and praised Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is indeed intelligent. Su Yishan is precisely Su Yubai's nephew! Furthermore, he's even rank ten on the Martial Roll! But according to my estimations, Su Yishan most likely already has the power to attack the top five! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, why not . . . forget about it?"
Chapter 110 - Investigate Properly
One could tell that Wu Luochen was unwilling to provoke Su Yishan.
Not only was Su Yishan strong, but his background was also exceedingly deep.
Without mentioning how great the Su Family's power was, just based on Su Yubai's status within the Dan Wu Academy, not many dared to provoke him.
Ye Yuan looked at Wu Luochen apathetically. "Scared? If you're scared, then go back. I also didn't make you tag along."
This look agitated Wu Luochen greatly. He raised his head up and said, "W-who's scared? Isn't it just Su Yishan? Wait until I advance to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. I'll beat him until his teeth fall out!"
"Tch, what Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. In the end, you're still scared!" Ye Yuan continued in disdain.
Wu Luochen nearly jumped up when he heard this. Even since he entered the Dan Wu Academy, his dictionary never had the word 'scared.'
He only had today's position by challenging throughout the entire way and beating people all the way.
There was naturally no lack of figures with special status among these people.
But didn't he just beat them up? Since when had he been scared?
The reason why he did not wish to find trouble with Su Yishan was that the time was not yet right.
Su Yishan was at the peak Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and could break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm at any time. 1
Each person in the top ten of the Martial Roll of Honor was more perverse than the other. Wu Luochen was indeed very strong, but at his level, who was not strong?
The further one headed, the harder it was to jump ranks and battle. Wu Luochen naturally did not wish to casually provoke a student in the top ten of the Martial Roll.
After Wu Luochen broke through to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would spar down the list one by one.
"I refuse to believe it today! Isn't it just Su Yishan? I'll accompany you! If he dares to attack you, I, Wu Luochen, will receive it!" The pitiful Wu Luochen fell for Ye Yuan's inciting just like that.
"Up to you. At that time, just don't run away with your tail between your legs." Ye Yuan then left without even turning his head back.
Wu Luochen chased after as he said, "Hey, say things clearly. Who's running away with their tails between their legs? Since when have I, Wu Luochen, been a deserter . . ."
. . . . . .
The residences of Heaven rank students were separated from students of other ranks; at the back of the mountain with the instructors.
Moreover, each of them had their own house and courtyard with a vast total area, and would not be disturbed by others.
Ye Yuan came to the front of Su Yishan's courtyard and bellowed loudly, "Scram out here, Liu Ruoshui!"
Ye Yuan incorporated ample essence energy into his shout, making it reverberate like rolling thunder.
If he did not shout, then it was still okay. But now that he did, it startled many people.
"What's happening? Did something happen again?"
"Quickly look! Isn't that Ye Yuan? Didn't he just clear the Nine Heavens Road? Why does it look like he's here to cause trouble again?"
"Haha! It's really lively these few days. Ye Yuan is too capable of causing a disturbance, stirring up the entire academy. It's truly one incident had yet to subside, but another wave rises!"
"Yii? Isn't that Wu Luochen? Why is he mixing around with Ye Yuan?"
"Who knows? That fellow is also a lunatic. Two maniacs have come together."
"Speaking of which, who is Liu Ruoshui? It sounds like a woman's name. How did she offend Ye Yuan?"
"Uh, I seem to have some impression. It seems like she's a great beauty!"
"F*ck! He doesn't even let a beauty off. Ye Yuan is really a madman!"
"Hey, best to stop speculating. It's true that Ye Yuan doesn't rest, but Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng only had themselves to blame. If it were you, would you kill them? We should still hear what Ye Yuan has to say. Who knows if this Liu Ruoshui was also one of the people who bullied Ye Yuan's maidservant? Don't you all find it odd that Ye Yuan is calling for Liu Ruoshui outside of Su Yishan's gate?"
Ye Yuan had never been fearful of blowing things up. If he, a dignified Alchemy Emperor, had to swallow his pride and endure in silence in a mortal country, it would cause his thoughts to not flow smoothly.
His precious life's encounter developed Ye Yuan's personality of avenging any enmity.
Who cares what Martial Roll's expert, or some Disciplinary Hall's elder. He just had to directly smash over!
It was fine if he could not beat them now. Even if he was unable to defeat them, he could still disgust them!
After yelling, Ye Yuan closed his eyes and stood there quietly with his hands behind his back, waiting for Su Yishan to come out.
Before long, Su Yishan's courtyard gate creaked open, and Su Yishan walked out with a livid face.
"What the hell are you doing, Ye Yuan? To actually dare to make a big fuss outside of my gate. Do you really think that nobody can take care of you?" Su Yishan said icily.
"Let Liu Ruoshui come out. This matter has nothing to do with you, go play by the side." Words that made everyone stare dumbfoundedly came out of Ye Yuan's mouth.
Oh damn! Ye Yuan told Su Yishan to go play by the side outside the entrance of his place!
Nobody had ever dared to speak that way to Su Yishan in the academy. Ye Yuan was truly teeming with overbearingness!
But after thinking about it, everyone felt at ease. Ye Yuan even dared to scold Elder Su. What is Su Yishan?
Since when had Su Yishan ever suffered such humiliation? When he heard that, he flew into a rage. "Insolence! Today, I will weigh just how incredible a genius who cleared the Nine Heavens Road is!"
Su Yishan fully released his aura and charged towards Ye Yuan with the momentum of Mount Tai bearing down upon Ye Yuan.
But just at that moment, Wu Luochen planted himself in front of Ye Yuan emotionlessly, which made Su Yishan's momentum came to a halt.
"What's the meaning of this, Wu Luochen?" Su Yishan asked furiously.
"No other meaning. As long as you don't touch Ye Yuan, that will do. I don't care about other things," said Wu Luochen as he remained impassive.
In reality, Wu Luochen was also very gloomy right now. He inexplicably incurred trouble with a major problem like Su Yishan.
It was true that Wu Luochen's thought process was simple. But he was absolutely no fool. How could a fool become an expert on the Martial Roll of Honor?
But Wu Luochen could no longer care that much in order to fight a match with Ye Yuan.
Of course, there were still many whom he could spar with within the academy. But Wu Luochen had the feeling that sparring with Ye Yuan would let him reap an unexpected harvest!
This was purely instinct. Ever since he witnessed that dazzling sword of Ye Yuan's, he had this sort of intuition.
Hence, he kept pestering Ye Yuan to make him spar with him.
"What a Wu Luochen. Do you know the repercussions of becoming enemies with me?"
Wu Luochen dreaded Su Yishan, but how could Su Yishan also not be wary of Wu Luochen?
Although he was a minor realm higher than Wu Luochen, Wu Luochen's combat talent was extremely astonishing.
If they really fought, even if he could win, it would surely be a crushing victory.
"I've never wanted to be enemies with you. As long as you don't touch Ye Yuan, I don't care about other things," Wu Luochen repeated these words emotionlessly.
These words were in fact bullsh*t. Ye Yuan was here to find trouble, so he would definitely fight with Su Yishan. If Su Yishan did not touch him, did he had to wait to be beaten up instead?
Su Yishan could not communicate through with this lunatic and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"Humph! You guys are looking for Liu Ruoshui. Why did you come to my place?"
Su Yishan was unable to deal with Wu Luochen, so he could only put up with the second best; questioning with logic.
"We've already inquired. Liu Ruoshui should be at your place currently. Go and call her out. I have some things I want to ask her," Ye Yuan said coolly as if he did not see Su Yishan and Wu Luochen's tit for tat.
"What a joke. You say she's here, and that means she's here?" Su Yishan laughed due to extreme rage.
Ye Yuan spread out his hands and said, "Since we can't reach a conclusion, then there's no other choice. I can only enter your place to investigate properly."
"You dare?!" Su Yishan was seething with rage. https://umg.wikia.com/wiki/Cultivation_Realms
Chapter 111 - Come with Me
Su Yishan was a peak genius in the top ten of the Martial Roll. If today, Ye Yuan entered his residence to search for people, how would he have the face to stay in the Dan Wu Academy in the future?
These words from Ye Yuan was simply unprecedented shame and humiliation to Su Yishan!
Facing Su Yishan's fiery wrath, Ye Yuan chose to ignore it. He made his move and headed towards Su Yishan's courtyard.
"Courting death!"
Out of rage, Su Yishan smacked a palm towards Ye Yuan.
But Ye Yuan did not seem to see it and walked towards the gates without care.
Boom!
A violent clash between palms. Su Yishan and Wu Luochen both retreated several steps. Clearly, it was a draw.
"Wu Luochen! You really dare to attack?!" Su Yishan roared angrily.
Wu Luochen gave a zombified face which would not change in ten thousand years and said, "I already said very clearly. As long as you don't attack Ye Yuan, everything is fine. But if you attack, I will not stand idly by and watch."
"You!" Su Yishan was thoroughly defeated by Wu Luochen. Nothing got through this fellow!
Ye Yuan did not walk fast, but his footsteps never stopped. It looked like he was about to enter the courtyard.
At this moment, Su Yishan felt shame and humiliation he had never ever experienced before!
He was the pride of the Su Family and a proud son of heaven in the Dan Wu Academy. Since when had he ever been put through such disgrace?
Ye Yuan actually dared to enter and search his abode in front of so many people?!
The most hateful thing was that he was unable to do anything about him!
"Stop right there, Ye Yuan!" Su Yishan hollered.
Ye Yuan continued forward as if he did not hear it.
"Halt! I'll call her out!" Su Yishan crumbled and finally chose to compromise.
Indeed, when he said that, Ye Yuan finally ceased his footsteps. He turned around to look at Su Yishan. Clearly, he was waiting for Su Yishan to call her.
Su Yishan really wanted to kill someone right now. Ye Yuan's actions had already completely swept his face away like rubbish.
Although Ye Yuan ultimately did not enter, since he agreed to call Liu Ruoshui out, he basically admitted defeat.
"Ye Yuan is indeed worthy of being a genius who made it through the Nine Heavens Road. He actually dared to sweep away Su Yishan's face like that."
"Heh heh. Su Yishan is normally incomparably haughty. Today, someone finally managed to stop him. It's so venting!"
"Yeah. Su Yishan relied on his uncle's authority to do as he pleased in the Heaven rank area. Many people felt indignant but dared not to speak up. Today, someone else who's even wilder came and even dared to sweep away his second uncle's face. Isn't sweeping away his face something simple?"
"Except that such a haughty person like Wu Luochen is actually willing to be Ye Yuan's fighter. It makes me surprised. Could it be that he's already taken in by Ye Yuan as a lackey?"
"Doesn't look like it. There's probably some sort of agreement between them, and this agreement is really important to Wu Luochen. That's why he is willing to take the risk of offending Su Yishan to become a hired thug."
"Haha! Look at Su Yishan wanting to kill someone, but unable to. It's the first time I've seen it. Seriously hilarious!"
"Ye Yuan might feel great today, but the upcoming Endless Trials probably won't go so smoothly. Regardless whether it's Elder Su or Su Yishan, they would probably spare no expense to kill Ye Yuan."
Those gathering around to watch were Heaven rank students. Many were whispering, even communicating through voice transmission.
One could tell from their conversation that Su Yishan did not seem to win the public's opinion in the Heaven rank area. Many held the attitude of gloating over his misfortune when watching the show.
As for sweeping away Su Yishan's face, Ye Yuan did not feel any burden at all.
The Su Family was the Ye Family's covert competitor. This was something he already knew.
Since Su Yubai could ambush him in broad daylight, then Su Yishan would not go so far as to become friends with him.
Since Liu Ruoshui appeared in Su Yishan's residence, it was evident that she came to seek protection from him. In that case, Ye Yuan and Su Yishan naturally were enemies.
Ye Yuan never had the habit of saving face for his enemies.
Presently, Su Yishan's face was grim, and he was incomparably vexed.
No matter how he calculated, he did not expect that Wu Luochen was actually willing to become Ye Yuan's fighter!
"What are you still hiding in there for? Come out here for me!" Su Yishan bellowed in a low voice.
Right now, Su Yishan somewhat regretted taking in Liu Ruoshui. A moment of l.u.s.t beguiling his mind gave him such a huge problem.
Following Su Yishan's shout, a graceful and charming figure showed up at the gates. It was precisely Liu Ruoshui.
Liu Ruoshui's clothes were a little disheveled, making her appear somewhat ragged. Her complexion was also much withered. Where was there still the former demeanor of a goddess?
She had been keeping an eye on the situation outside, and knew that she was probably unable to settle things today.
Initially, she thought that finding Su Yishan as her backer could let her escape this crisis. For that reason, she even offered up her most precious thing. But she did not think that Su Yishan could not protect her at all.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Su, I . . ." Liu Ruoshui looked towards Su Yishan feebly.
Su Yishan's expression was somber, but he still moved to block in front of her. This action made Liu Ruoshui wildly elated.
Su Yishan naturally would not let her be. The situation now was already extremely clear. Liu Ruoshui was someone that he, Su Yishan, was shielding. If Ye Yuan dealt with her at his discretion, he would ultimately lose his face today.
Just now, when Ye Yuan wanted to enter the courtyard, he was unable to pull himself away to stop it. But now, it was not going to be so easy for Wu Luochen and Ye Yuan to take someone away from directly under him.
Furthermore, this matter had already blown up. As long as he held on a while longer, until his second uncle, Su Yubai arrived, even Ye Yuan would not dare to be unbridled.
"If you have questions, ask away!" Su Yishan said to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan did not mind Su Yishan's actions. Hearing that, he nodded and asked, "Let me ask you, Liu Ruoshui, the matter of Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng bullying Lu-er, were you and Wan Yuan the ones fanning the fire by the side?"
Liu Ruoshui was secretly alarmed when she heard him. She did not think that
Ye Yuan actually came here because of this matter. No wonder he arrived so quickly!
Liu Ruoshui's mind flashed like lightning and thought to herself that there were already no witnesses to this matter. There were only four of them present back then. Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng were already dead. Wan Yuan fled. As long as she flatly denied it, what could Ye Yuan do to her?
Thinking up to this point, Liu Ruoshui cried out, "Ye Yuan, I know that we had some disagreements in the past. But that was all instigated by Wan Yuan! Every debt has its creditor! You should find him instead!"
Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Enough crap. I only asked you about Lu-er's matter!"
The instant Liu Ruoshui thought things through, she became less fearful instead. Puffing her c.h.e.s.t out, she said righteously, "No. I don't even know what you are talking about! I don't even know who is Lu-er, so how would I harm her?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Liu Ruoshui became increasingly confident as she spoke.
"Then how do you explain you and Wan Yuan seeking out Lin Tiancheng before, on the day of the Illusionary Spirit Tower test?" Ye Yuan interrogated.
"Lin Tiancheng is the head disciple of the general affairs. Wan Yuan wished to make friends with him. Is there anything wrong with that? You were clearly the one who offended Lin Tiancheng, yet you want to force the crime on me. What's the reasoning?"
Liu Ruoshui was also a quick-witted person. The moment she collected herself, she did a reverse checkmate instead.
Ye Yuan looked at Liu Ruoshui and suddenly smiled. He smiled until Liu Ruoshui felt a chill continuously escalate from the bottom of the heart.
"Such a shrewd tongue. Since that's the case, come with me then. I have ways to prove whether what you say is true or false. If what you said is true, our previous grudges will be wiped off the slate from now on. But if it's false . . . I, Ye Yuan, don't kill women. Cripple your Dantian yourself, and withdraw from the Dan Wu Academy. The matters previously will also similarly be wiped clean!" Ye Yuan said casually.
Chapter 112 - Fighting Two Alone
"I'm not going! If I go with you, can I even return?" Liu Ruoshui rejected straightaway.
