Chapter 1173: Chapter 1172: The Hou Family’s Scout

Su Yang was somewhat surprised to find that the Fang Family members weren’t guarding the place but had instead stationed two such charming women here. What did this mean? What kind of person did the Fang Family take him for?

"Where is Fang Mingyuan?" Su Yang asked directly.

Both women were taken aback; Fang Mingyuan was the Land Immortal of the Fang Family, and everyone in the family referred to him as an ancestor—no one dared to call his name so casually. Su Yang’s casual manner left them both momentarily unable to react.

"Our ancestor went out today, and when he left, he asked us sisters to take care of Young Master Su," one woman approached him, slipping her arm through Su Yang’s, pressing her ample upper body against his arm, and cooed, "The ancestor said to satisfy all of Young Master Su’s requests. Young Master Su, do you have any orders?"

The other woman also looked at Su Yang seductively, dressed revealingly, with a graceful figure. Coupled with such words and tone, it indeed led people to have all sorts of thoughts!

Su Yang frowned, pushed the woman away, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Fang Mingyuan when he returns that I’ve gone out to handle some affairs."

Both women were taken aback again; they were well-known beauties in the Capital City, with plenty of suitors. Moreover, they were both confident in their ability to handle men, so why were their tactics seemingly ineffective with Su Yang?

"Where are you going?" one of the women quickly asked.

"That’s none of your concern!" Su Yang replied coldly, ignoring the two and walked straight out.

The women exchanged looks, their faces showing some reluctance, but ultimately they dared not voice any complaints. They already knew about Su Yang almost wiping out the entire Wan Family and how even Fang Mingyuan treated him as an esteemed guest—they dared not harbour any grievances themselves.

Upon leaving the Fang residence, Su Yang headed straight for the Tianxing Martial Arts Hall.

Zhao Chong had become entangled in this affair because of Wang Hao. The night before last, Su Yang had already told Zhao Tianxing to take his family and leave, but it was unclear whether they had.

Reaching the place, Su Yang found the gates of the Tianxing Martial Arts Hall firmly shut. By asking around, he learned that Zhao Tianxing and his family had left the previous night, supposedly heading back to their hometown.

This news eased Su Yang’s worries; he had been concerned that someone might abduct Zhao Chong and the others to threaten him. Now that they had left, he didn’t need to worry anymore.

After having a meal nearby, Su Yang called Hou Shilin, asking him to send people to the Capital City to help gather information.

It was only after making the call that Su Yang learned that the Hou Family had already sent a large group of people into the Capital City the day before yesterday.

Su Yang called Fatty, telling him that he wanted to avenge Wang Hao in the Capital City. Unable to dissuade Su Yang, Fatty immediately discussed the matter with Hou Shilin.

Hou Shilin was decisive and quickly arranged for the Hou Family members to rush to the Capital City. Although they couldn’t help Su Yang deal with the Wan Family members, they could at least help gather information in the city.

Along with the Hou Family members who came to the Capital City were Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier. Both had originally been in Nanluo City and after receiving news about the Capital City, they each slipped into the city separately.

This news greatly surprised Su Yang; he hadn’t expected Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier to come as well. While touched, he also felt a bit worried.

There were many in the Capital City who saw him as an enemy; now that Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier had also entered the city, could they possibly encounter danger?

Xiao Hei’s strength was quite decent; he had already entered the Venerable Realm and was even preparing to break through his current bottleneck. He would have some self-protective capability in the Capital City.

However, Jeang Zier was not as strong. She too was in the Venerable Realm now, but in a place where Venerables were common like the Capital City, her strength simply wasn’t enough. If she met danger, wouldn’t that be troublesome?

"Where are they now?" Su Yang asked.

"I don’t know!" Hou Shilin replied helplessly, "I wasn’t even aware they were going to the Capital City. After I arranged for the Hou Family members to go, I then received news that they had also gone. And, those two didn’t go together, I can’t reach them either, I have no idea where exactly they are!"

This was indeed a problem—finding the two of them in the Capital City wouldn’t be easy. What to do?

After pondering for a while, Su Yang spoke solemnly, "Tonight, I’m going to kill Lü Peiwen. Spread the word about it."

Lü Peiwen was previously the spoiled young Master Lü who had gone to Pingnan Province. He had been taught a lesson by Su Yang in Pingnan and had harbored resentment ever since. But lacking family strength, he was unable to seek revenge and had always held a grudge.

Later, when he learned that Wang Hao had come to the Capital City and knew about Wang Hao’s relationship with Su Yang, he started targeting Wang Hao.

The situation between Wang Hao and Wan Fei was actually instigated by Lü Peiwen at the back. Wang Hao’s severe beating was a result of Lü Peiwen’s incitement of Wan Fei. Therefore, Lü Peiwen was one of the men that Su Yang was determined to kill.

"Really?" Hou Shilin said in astonishment, "Why spread the word? Wouldn’t this give Lü Peiwen time to prepare? The Lü Family’s power might be average in the Capital City, but their background is complex. Moreover, the locals are particularly unified when dealing with outsiders. You’ve caused such a commotion in the Capital City, and many harbor resentment towards you. Taking out Lü Peiwen quietly might be possible, but if word gets out and he is prepared, wouldn’t that be troublesome?"

"I know," Su Yang replied calmly, "but only if the news spreads will Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier know where I have gone—I need to find them first."

"This..." Hou Shilin understood Su Yang’s intent, fell silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Isn’t that going to be dangerous?"

"It won’t matter," Su Yang said quietly, "I know what I’m doing."

"Alright, I will make arrangements, just be careful," Hou Shilin said softly.

Su Yang hung up the phone, and not long after, someone approached him stealthily—it was one of Hou Shilin’s men sent to the Capital City.

"Master Su," the man bowed, speaking in a low voice, "my name is Zhang Kui, and I’ve been sent by Young Master Hou to assist you in the Capital City. I’ve just summarized the news from the past two days for you to review."

Zhang Kui handed a folder to Su Yang, who then looked it over.

The people Hou Shilin sent were handpicked by Hou Shilin himself—efficient in their work and extremely loyal.

Upon arriving in the Capital City, they rapidly collected all news pertaining to Su Yang and even gathered information from the city’s recent events, then collated it concisely for Su Yang’s perusal.
