“Thank you, Qin Shopkeeper, for helping me out today.”
Terra Su cupped his hands in gratitude. If it weren’t for Qin Shopkeeper, he would have had to burn his True Essence, and the consequences would have been uncontrollable.
So, from the bottom of his heart, he was very thankful that Qin Shopkeeper arrived in time to help him out of his predicament.
“Young Master Su, there’s no need to be so polite. You are a great benefactor to the County Princess; it’s only right for me to do this,” Qin Shopkeeper said with a beaming smile.
“By the way, Young Master Su, have you heard of the Anyang Martial Meet?” Qin Shopkeeper asked curiously after some thought.
“The Anyang Martial Meet?” Terra Su wasn’t a Martial Practitioner in his previous life, so he hadn’t really come into contact with such things.
Seeing that Terra Su didn’t know, Qin Shopkeeper explained with a smile, “The Anyang Martial Meet is a martial competition for the younger generation within Anyang County, held in Anyang City.”
“The Anyang Martial Meet is held every three years, and the participants are young elites from within Anyang County, including many talented strong practitioners. It’s the best stage for young martial practitioners to hone themselves.”
Qin Shopkeeper continued, “You are now at the seventh level of the Condensing Origin Realm, fully qualified to participate in the Anyang Martial Meet.”
“Is that so? The Anyang Martial Meet?”
Stars flickered in Terra Su’s eyes. This was indeed a good opportunity to compete with the geniuses from major forces and big families, a great chance to hone himself.
In his previous life, he didn’t have the chance to cultivate Martial Dao. In this life, he eagerly anticipated such a grand martial event, where he could have intense and passionate clashes with geniuses of his age.
“Since I’m planning to go to Anyang City anyway, I might as well participate.”
Thinking this, Terra Su asked, “When does the Anyang Martial Meet start?”
“It starts in three months,” Qin Shopkeeper replied with a smile.
“Good, that’s enough time.”
Terra Su nodded, “I’ll be there.”
“I’m sure the County Princess will be very pleased to see you there, Young Master Su.”
Qin Shopkeeper said, bowing slightly, “Well then, Young Master Su, I’ll take my leave.”
“Take care, Qin Shopkeeper.”
After Qin Shopkeeper left, Terra Su also left South Jiang Manor.
He didn’t go anywhere else but headed straight to the Ye Family.
At the entrance of the Ye Family, the guards’ expressions changed drastically upon seeing Terra Su.
“Su… Su…”
“Terra Su is here!”
The Ye Family guards shouted in terror and immediately turned and ran into the Ye Family mansion.
In no time, the Patriarch of the Ye Family, Steven Ye, hurried out with a group of high-ranking members. Upon seeing Terra Su, they quickly cupped their hands in a flustered manner, “Greetings, Young Master Su!”
It was not hard to see the thick fear in Steven Ye’s eyes. His fear was understandable, as Terra Su had just wiped out the Wang Family and North Jiang Manor today. As people who had also had conflicts with Terra Su, the Ye Family had been living in constant fear since hearing the news.
Not to mention that Terra Su had come to their door, making the Ye Family even more terrified, fearing that Terra Su had come to kill them.
Although the Ye Family had already made peace with Terra Su, if Terra Su got upset and decided to wipe out the Ye Family, they would have nowhere to cry.
“Why has Young Master Su come to the Ye Family?”
Steven Ye asked, trembling with fear.
“Was it you who informed Tianyue Academy about me crippling Miles Ye?”
Terra Su asked. He wasn’t afraid of people seeking revenge, but he wouldn’t tolerate someone secretly informing on him. If the Ye Family had indeed sent the message, he wouldn’t mind sending the entire Ye Family to the underworld to accompany the Wang Family.
“Young Master Su, we are being wronged!”
Steven Ye was struck by lightning and quickly explained, “It wasn’t us! Our Ye Family had already moved on from Miles Ye being crippled. How could we send a message to Tianyue Academy to call his teacher over?”
“Yes, Young Master Su, we can swear on our Heart Demons that it wasn’t us. We never thought of avenging Miles Ye; we just want to live peacefully.”
“Not you?”
Terra Su’s gaze swept over the Ye Family members.
“It wasn’t us. We can swear on our Heart Demons that we never did such a thing.”
The Ye Family members all expressed their stance.
“That’s good.”
Terra Su nodded lightly. As long as it wasn’t the Ye Family who informed, it wouldn’t hurt to spare their lives. After all, in his previous life, the Ye Family hadn’t done anything truly bad, just followed the Wang Family’s lead.
With the Wang Family and North Jiang Manor as a lesson, the Ye Family wouldn’t dare have any improper thoughts. Moreover, Sophia Xu had already broken through to the ninth level of the Condensing Origin Realm, fully capable of suppressing the Ye Family.
“Young Master Su, I think it was the Wang Family and North Jiang Manor who informed.”
Steven Ye said, “Our intelligence personnel once overheard Joshua Wang and Otto Jiang talking about sending someone to Tianyue Academy in a tavern. They were just too cautious, so we didn’t hear more.”
“Okay.”
Terra Su nodded. If it wasn’t the Ye Family, then it must have been the Wang Family and North Jiang Manor.
It seemed that killing them was indeed the right decision.
With that, Terra Su’s figure flashed and disappeared in front of the Ye Family members.
Only after Terra Su completely left did the Ye Family members let out a long sigh of relief. They then realized that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
“Too terrifying, like a living Yama.”
“Who would dare offend South Jiang Manor in the future? They must be tired of living.”
…
In the following days, Terra Su spent a few leisurely days, watching Sophia Xu handle the affairs of merging the families in the Jiang Family. Occasionally, he would lend a hand, but most of the time, he just meditated nearby.
The Jiang Family had now merged with both North Jiang Manor and South Jiang Manor, as well as all the industries under the Wang Family. There were countless affairs to handle, but Sophia Xu, a natural strong woman, managed everything in an orderly manner.
The Jiang Family’s development was on the right track, and its dominance in Clear River City was solidified. Sophia Xu expanded the Jiang Family’s scale again, recruiting many talented martial practitioners from humble backgrounds, turning the Jiang Family into a considerable powerhouse.
Seven days later, Terra Su prepared to set off for Anyang City.
Before leaving, Terra Su called Sean Feng to him.
“I’ll teach you the next stage of the ‘Ming Wang Finger’ technique. Then you can return to the Five Treasures Hall in the capital,” Terra Su said.
Sean Feng’s expression changed slightly, and he asked nervously, “Young Master Su, did I do something wrong?”
Terra Su knew he misunderstood and shook his head, “You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that I don’t need you by my side for now. Go back to the capital and train on your own for a while. I’ll come to find you later.”
