Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Gentleman Young Master Zhao

Su Yang chuckled to himself. In fact, he had originally wanted to use this as an excuse to simply part ways with these people.

Because in the next canyon, Feng Wenchuan was definitely going to make a move, and that was where the real danger lay. If they left Zhao Wunian and his group now, they would be safe in the next canyon.

However, Zhao Wunian was not willing to let Su Yang go. Although Su Yang seemed like a fool, that was exactly what Zhao Wunian wanted. The stupider Su Yang appeared, the easier it would be to use him when the time came.

If Su Yang was really driven away by these people now, then his plan would have been wasted. Therefore, he had to keep Su Yang at all costs.

Su Yang naturally understood what Zhao Wunian was thinking, but he did not say it outright, instead, he said with a light smile, "Young Master Zhao misunderstood me. What I mean is, since we are walking together, we should help each other. I won’t say that I must walk in the middle of the team, but at least, shouldn’t we let the women and children walk in the middle?"

This statement immediately silenced the people around them, as many cast glances at Niuniu on Lin Zhenshan’s shoulder. Was Su Yang doing this just so that Niuniu could walk in the middle of the team and be safer?

Lin Zhenshan’s face changed rapidly, Su Yang had offended the Zhao Family by doing this. But, Su Yang wasn’t doing it for himself, but to protect Niuniu, which touched him deeply.

Zhao Wunian had been worrying about how to let Feng Wenchuan kill Su Yang once he got into the middle of the team; with Su Yang’s words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Letting Niuniu walk in the middle was no problem, as long as Su Yang was on the outside, he could find a way to let Feng Wenchuan kill Su Yang.

"Young Master Su is right!" Zhao Wunian immediately responded, "I have overlooked this. We have defenseless girls and innocent children in our team, how can we let them walk on the edge? Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll walk on the edge and let the children and girls walk in the middle. What does everyone think?"

"Young Master Zhao is truly a gentleman, I support Young Master Zhao!"

"Young Master Zhao is right. We are all grown men, how can we let girls and children take risks?"

"With a generous heart and gentlemanly manners, Young Master Zhao truly stands out among men. Compared to some ignorant individuals, Young Master Zhao is someone we truly admire!"

The crowd flattered him, and Zhao Wuyuan also wore a look of pride. However, when looking at Su Yang, the disdain in her eyes grew even stronger.

"In that case, Mr. Lin, please take Niuniu and Lin Qing to the middle of the team," Su Yang said.

"Ah?" Lin Zhenshan was taken aback and whispered, "Lin Qing and Niuniu can go over, I can stay on the outside, and we can look out for each other!"

"You need to protect the two of them. Even if they are in the middle of the team and protected by others, would you be at ease?" Su Yang whispered back.

"This..." Lin Zhenshan fell silent, indeed, he could not trust the other people in the team.

"I’ll be fine!" Su Yang said with a light smile.

Lin Zhenshan gave Su Yang a deep look and whispered, "Young Master Su, thank you!"

Su Yang nodded with a smile, and Lin Zhenshan, carrying Niuniu, took two steps forward. As he passed by Su Yang, he whispered, "Young Master Su, you... please don’t provoke the Zhao Family anymore. They’re looking at you the wrong way, you have to be very careful outside!"

"I will!" Su Yang responded with a nod and a smile.

Lin Zhenshan gave Su Yang a deep look before moving with Niuniu towards the middle of the team.

Lin Qing followed, and as she passed Su Yang, she paused. After exchanging a glance with Su Yang, her face flushed slightly. With a thousand words in her heart, she ultimately only said one sentence, "Young Master Su, take care!"

Wang Qian followed behind, his eyes nearly splitting with rage, wishing he could personally kill Su Yang. He ground his teeth and glared furiously at Su Yang before preparing to head to the middle of the group after Lin Qing.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Yang directly blocked his way.

"I’m going over there!" Wang Qian glared back.

"The middle, that’s where the girls and children are supposed to go," Su Yang said. "Mr. Lin has to take care of Niuniu; he must go there. But you, being so young, should you be there too?"

At these words, the surrounding people immediately showed their support, all unwilling to let Wang Qian pass.

Wang Qian was so angry that his lips trembled, the middle was obviously safer, yet Su Yang was keeping him on the outside. Through clenched teeth, he pointed at Su Yang, "Kid, you just wait!"

After the team made some adjustments, they set off again. However, this time, Zhao Wunian changed places and walked beside Su Yang, talking and laughing as if they were quite intimate.

Of course, Su Yang understood Zhao Wunian’s intentions; Zhao Wunian was Feng Wenchuan’s primary target. If Feng Wenchuan and his men were lying in ambush, they would surely focus on Zhao Wunian.

Zhao Wunian following at Su Yang’s side meant that, when Feng Wenchuan and his men attacked, Su Yang estimated he would likely be included in the attack.

Zhao Wuyuan walked in the middle of the team, occasionally glaring fiercely at Su Yang. In her view, Su Yang was nothing but a worthless braggart, only good for verbal disputes. If it weren’t for using Su Yang’s identity from Pingnan Province, he wouldn’t have been qualified to travel with them at all.

As they progressed, the group crossed over the second mountain peak and arrived at the entrance to the second valley.

This second valley was far more dangerous than the first. Although there was also miasma throughout the first valley, it was thin and visibility was somewhat better. But in this second valley, the miasma was extremely dense, and visibility was very low. It could be said that people walking within could see, at most, only about ten meters around them.

Just as they reached the entrance to the valley, they heard a scream from inside. Everyone immediately stopped, their faces filled with vigilance, tensely watching the valley ahead. However, under the cover of miasma, they couldn’t see a thing.

Zhao Wunian slightly furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, stay calm. We don’t know the situation ahead. I suggest we have a few people move to the front to scout the way."

The group exchanged looks, all feeling that Zhao Wunian’s proposal was correct. The question was, who should go to the front?

Seeing that no one spoke up, Zhao Wunian smiled and said, "It’s an honor for my Zhao Family that everyone trusts us this much. How about this, I’ll take the lead, choose five brothers to scout the way with me, how about that?"

His words immediately drew rounds of cheers from the crowd.

"Young Master Zhao really has extraordinary courage and wisdom, truly a dragon among men!"

"Young Master Zhao leads by example, I am impressed!"

"How can we let Young Master Zhao take the lead in such a matter? We can just choose people for the task!"

Hearing the crowd’s praises, Zhao Wuyuan’s face was full of pride as if the compliments were directed at her.

However, seeing Su Yang, who was calm by Zhao Wunian’s side, Zhao Wuyuan’s expression turned cold again.

Everyone was praising Zhao Wunian, yet Su Yang acted as if nothing had happened. Did he no longer realize the consciousness of being under the Zhao Family’s protection?
