Chapter 24: The Dream of a Toad
“Father-in-law.”
The entire gathering was stunned. Not only Wang Quan De but even the prominent members of various influential families on the platform were taken aback.
Liu Zong Yuan himself appeared startled
“Su Yi, what nonsense are you spouting?!”
“You are so shameless, Su Yi!”
“Su Yi, you bastard. Do you not know shame!”
After a brief moment of stunned silence, He San, Song Wu Qiu, and Mo Bu Fan began to scold him in unison.
If it weren’t for the Sacred Mountain experts present, they would have already rushed forward.
City Master Liu Zong Yuan had only one daughter. Su Yi calling him “Father-in-law” clearly implied that Su Yi was still pursuing Liu Ruoxi. This was unacceptable to them.
Su Jing Ting was also taken aback. However, there was a glint in his eyes, and he remained silent.The crowd’s gaze shifted to City Master Liu Zong Yuan.
The engagement made three years ago between the Su Family and the Liu Family was well-known to everyone in the city.
However, none of the onlookers had anticipated Su Yi bringing up the matter so boldly in front of everyone.
“My dear nephew, I believe you addressed me incorrectly. You should head back now. Though you were unable to enter Sacred Mountain, who knows what the future holds? Perhaps you can still reach the peak one day,” Liu Zong Yuan said, forcing a smile. He never imagined Su Yi would mention this matter today.
“Three years ago, my grandfather struck an agreement with the Liu Family. If I returned alive after three years and had successfully established my Foundation, Liu Ruoxi and I would be engaged. Now that I’m in the Yuan Soul Realm, that agreement must be honored. Therefore, allow me to address you as ‘father-in-law,’” Su Yi declared loudly, ensuring the sound carried through the venue.
Even though Sacred Mountain rejected me then, I’ll find another way. But for Liu Ruoxi, that girl who made my life a living hell for three years and nearly caused my death multiple times, I won’t let her off.
Moreover, since Sacred Mountain rejected me, I heard Fatty Wang mention that Liu Ruoxi holds a high position there. This engagement will surely make Sacred Mountain uncomfortable. It will be a form of retribution.
Su Yi was someone who always sought revenge.
Upon hearing Su Yi’s words, the upper ranks of the major families exchanged looks. No one spoke.Everyone knew about the engagement three years ago. But no one had anticipated that not only would Su Yi return alive from the Forest of Demons, but that the good-for-nothing who could not store Yuan Qi would also somehow enter the Yuan Soul Realm.The upper ranks of the families now looked at Liu Zong Yuan. The agreement three years ago was made under the guidance of the Su Family’s Old Master. Everyone understood that the deal was meant to smooth things over.However, who would have imagined things would evolve to this point?
If they knew that Su Yi would be able to enter the Yuan Soul Realm three years later, the Liu Family may also not agree to the deal made at that time.
Furthermore, now Liu Ruoxi had an extremely high position at Sacred Mountain and Su Yi had just been tested out to have the talent of a mere errand boy.
Thinking from any perspective, the Liu Family would have a greater desire to null the engagement.
Liu Zong Yuan was slightly awkward. The deal he made with the Old Master Su Yun Tian back then, everyone knew about it. He had nothing more to say.
If Su Yi was tested out to have good talent today, there would be nothing wrong with accepting the engagement.
But Su Yi had to have an average talent even if he was already in the Yuan Soul Realm and he was not a person from a large and influential power. There were many things in the way. He was also very helpless. Just trying to have Liu Ruoxi like him, would already be impossible.
“City Master Liu, what is this matter? Does it have something to do with Ruoxi?” Dharma Protector Wang could not resist any longer. If this matter had something to do with Liu Ruoxi, then he must understand the entire situation.
“This-”
Liu Zong Yuan smiled awkwardly and said to Dharma Protector Wang, “Three years ago I had made a deal with the Old Master of the Su Family that if after three years Su Yi was able to establish his Foundation, then there would be an engagement between my daughter, Liu Ruoxi, and him.”
“Not possible!”
Liu Zong Yuan had not even finished his words and Wang Quan De straight away cut him off and said sternly, “This engagement must not be valid.”
Su Yi looked at Wang Quan De and said, “The engagement between the Su Family and the Liu Family was part of the deal made back then. Sacred Mountain has no right to interfere with this!”
“Ruoxi is a disciple of Sacred Mountain, naturally Sacred Mountain can interfere in this engagement. With your errand boy’s talent, you can dream all you like about being able to be worthy of a disciple of Sacred Mountain. A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh,” Wang Quan De looked at Su Yi. A shapeless aura started spreading from him, there was mockery and coldness in his eyes.
How could a piece of trash like this be worthy of a disciple of Sacred Mountain?
Furthermore, with Liu Ruoxi’s position and future, if she had any relations with this brat and it got out, the Sacred Mountain would be shamed.
Wang Quan De was very clear that no matter at what cost, this matter had to be solved.
On the platform, the youths from Sacred Mountain heard Su Yi’s words. Their eyes showed disdain and ridicule.
“A toad dares to lust after a swan’s flesh. You do not know your place!”
A young man in white clothes, around 15-16 years old age said coldly. His face had a cold grin.
The upper ranks of the big families on the platform started becoming nervous. The faces of the Su Family’s Grand Elder and others had an expression more serious than ever.
“Su Yi, do not mess around, back off now!”
Feeling Wang Quan De’s aura, Su Jing Ting scolded Su Yi again. This kid has made enough trouble today. He had gone against the experts from Sacred Mountain time and time again. If the experts from Sacred Mountain became angry for real, the consequences would be unthinkable.
“Uncle, I did not mess about for this matter!”
Su Yi told Su Jing Ting. He looked at Wang Quan De. Under the pressure of that shapeless aura, the surroundings seemed to have been chained, like there was a ton of weight crushing down on him, making it even harder to breathe.
But at this moment, Su Yi became stubborn, he looked at Wang Quan De and said, “How my talent was, everything was said by you. I personally think that I have more talent than the rest and would not be beneath anyone’s talent at Sacred Mountain and regarding a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, that was still better than a frog At least a toad has dreams while a frog can only sit in the well and gaze at the sky!”
Saying this, Su Yi turned his eyes and looked at Liu Zong Yuan, he said, “Father-in-law, I have already entered the Yuan Soul Realm, this was the agreement made back then. No matter whether you admit it or not, the engagement is already valid.”
Hearing his words, Liu Zong Yuan looked at Su Yi, emotions swirled in his heart.
“Hahahahaha!”
Wang Quan De laughed, he laughed out loud, but anyone could tell that this laughter had rage in it, not just plain displeasure.
“What a good toad having dreams. A small errand boy dares to speak such words. You do not know your place in the world!” After his laughter, Wang Quan De stared at Su Yi, the shapeless aura around him became even more powerful and hostile.
Under the terrifying aura, Su Yi stumbled backward, like his body was getting crushed by five thousand kilograms of stone. His Yuan Qi seemed to come to a still, his body softened involuntarily like he was about to collapse.
“Stomp!”
At this instant, Su Yi clenched his teeth. His foot stepped back once and stomped on the ground. He bit down on his teeth even harder and supported his body. His face at this moment turned pale white in a flash.
“Su Yi, apologize to Dharma Protector Wang immediately, or I will deal with you myself!” Su Jing Ting’s voice thundered. He rushed forward and placed himself between Su Yi and Wang Quan De.He bowed deeply to Wang Quan De, his voice dripping with respect, “Dharma Protector Wang, please forgive this young one. He has been reckless in his words. I will personally discipline him even harder in the future!”
