Chapter 48 Su Yu Lacks Martial Morality

Wan Qin ignored the remark and proudly raised his chin at Zhu Shan: "I won the last competition, so be polite and call me senior brother!"

"You can only beat me that one time," Zhu Shan said, getting angry at the mention of it. She raised her hand and conjured a ball of lightning in her palm, saying coldly, "Want to get struck by lightning again?"

The sounds of the junior students playing around, combined with the music that was getting closer and closer outside, made the place seem unusually lively.

Su Yu refused the grape-shaped magic fruit that Feng Huaijin offered her with her lips closed. She got up from the recliner and said to her disciples, "The city lord is here. Everyone, behave yourselves."

"Ah Jin, take Yu Ronglan with you."

Feng Huaijin put the magic fruit back on the tray, stood up, exchanged a glance with Yu Ronglan, and instantly disappeared from the spot, climbing out through the back window.

Wan Qin muttered to himself, "They came really fast."

Yes, and he even has the mind to bring a band. There's still no news of the wanted criminal on the third day. This Lord An really isn't worried at all.

Su Yu tapped her drooping fingers lightly and said calmly to her junior brothers and sisters who had quieted down, "Let's go."

Let's go see what little schemes this Lord An is hiding.

Lord An entered the inn with a smile and went upstairs. He saw his disciples from the Yuan Family Mansion, some sitting and some standing, waiting for him.

As soon as he entered, scrutinizing gazes focused on him. The upstairs room was dimly lit, and in the oppressive darkness, the hostile stares surrounding him felt particularly oppressive.

Sitting elegantly in the center, legs crossed and head propped up by one hand, was the head disciple of the Yuan family.

Unlike the other demons' cold and disdainful faces, he even had a smile playing on his lips, though it, like his icy gaze, revealed a blatant sense of danger.

Oh no, what did he do to offend these close associates?

An Xiuqiang stopped in his tracks, his mind racing. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He decided not to pretend to be calm anymore, hastily wiping his forehead with his sleeve. He bent his knees, ready to kneel down and beg for his life.

Su Yu used her magic to support his knees and exerted upward force, forcing Lord An to stand up straight again.

He asked, seemingly puzzled, "Lord An, what is the meaning of this?"

"Well, seeing you all today, your aura is even stronger than before. I am impressed and have done this. I hope you will not take offense." An Xiuqiang stood up straight, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said a string of words with a smile.

Su Yu was too lazy to mince words with him and said directly, "In the entire Yulang City, only the City Lord's Mansion has not been searched."

He lowered his crossed legs, his dark pupils staring intently at him.

"For the safety of the city lord, please wait here for a moment."

The smile on Lord An's face froze, and he realized that two of his personal disciples, who were usually quiet, were indeed missing.

He looked somewhat frightened and worried, and exclaimed, "The City Lord's Mansion!!"

After regaining his senses, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate. Please, sirs, spare my life!"

He seemed terrified that his life might be threatened by a potential wanted criminal.

Seeing that Lord An had quietly found a seat, he sat down.

Su Yu stopped talking.

Under the lure of extra money, the innkeeper decisively chose to follow their orders. The moment Lord An led his team into the inn, he locked the door tightly and led the inn's staff out.

Therefore, all the demons that An Xiuqiang brought are here.

Su Yu lowered her eyes in thought, her left fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly one after another.

After an incense stick has burned, it's almost time.

He took out his communication stone and glanced at it.

Why is there still no movement?

"Boom—"

Su Yu immediately got up and went to the window.

It's in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

What happened? A bad feeling crept into Su Yu's heart.

"Leave two to keep an eye on the demon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped out of the window, his toes landing on the summoned Frost Flowing Sword, and sped off towards the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion at this time.

Feng Huaijin, clutching the injured part of his other arm with one hand, stared straight ahead and coldly questioned, "Yu Ronglan, what happened to you?!"

Why did he suddenly go crazy? He even caused him to be unable to complete the task his brother assigned him!

What should I do if my brother is disappointed in him?

Upon realizing this, Feng Huaijin's expression twisted for a moment.

"..." Yu Ronglan lowered her head, her long hair falling down and obscuring her eyes, and uttered an insincere apology in a soft voice, "I'm sorry..."

"I can't complete this task."

Compared to Feng Huaijin, he was more seriously injured, and there were traces of blood left on the corner of his mouth from when he vomited blood.

But he still stood firmly in front of the gaunt demon behind him, even gesturing for the demon behind him to take the opportunity to leave.

The gaunt demon hesitated for a moment, but he knew that he was extremely weak and would only be a burden if he stayed. So he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Be careful."

Then he leaped backward and retreated.

"Get out of my way and don't get in my way of completing my mission!" Feng Huaijin shouted.

“No,” Yu Ronglan gripped the curved blade tightly with both hands, assuming a fighting stance, “neither can you.”

"Crack—"

The sound of ice spreading could be heard.

"Can't what?" A cold voice came from behind, carrying a chilling aura. "Junior Brother Rong Lan, why are you standing opposite Ah Jin, and even pointing a knife at your senior brother?"

Yu Ronglan's pupils contracted, and she turned halfway around. What came into view was Su Yu, who was flying low on his sword with his hands behind his back, and the demonic ice sculpture on the ground not far away.

Fortunately, only the lower half of his face was frozen; his nose was still exposed, and he was still breathing.

The demon's trembling eyes kept darting around, trying to convey the message: "Ignore him, run!"

There is room for discussion.

Yu Ronglan stared at Su Yu's side, and this thought flashed through her mind like lightning.

Although judging from the smile on Senior Brother Su Yu's lips, the other party was clearly very angry.

He slowly sheathed his sword, turned to face Su Yu, and said in a low voice, "Let's find another place."

Otherwise, the other direct disciples will be here soon.

Su Yu understood.

But he was furious. He deliberately didn't move, landed on the ground, and asked with a sneer, "Change the location? What makes you think I'll listen to you?"

He initially thought the mission target was too strong, which caused the accident, so he rushed over to provide support.

The demons themselves were fighting amongst themselves, and two of them even ganged up on his adopted child!

Does his kid not have a demon behind him?! Ah!

"Ah Jin, come here."

Looking at the silent young man behind her, Su Yu's expression softened.

Poor kid, this is the first time you've been hit hard by your own magic backlash, you need to be comforted.

Feng Huaijin walked past silently with his eyes down, yet Su Yu managed to perceive a pitiful look in his eyes.

"Take the healing pills first."

Seeing that the bloodstains on his left arm had seeped through his clothes, Su Yu frowned, his face grew colder, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

Looking at Feng Twelve, who was looking dejected and quietly stayed by Su Yu's side after swallowing his medicine like a good child, Yu Ronglan felt a toothache as she recalled the fierce look on her second senior brother's face. She tilted her head back and opened her mouth expressionlessly, pouring the pills for herself.

Ah, he doesn't care about magic.

Almost as soon as she swallowed the pill, Yu Ronglan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck and was knocked unconscious by Su Yu's chop to the neck.

In the moment as his consciousness began to fade, he thought:

Su Yu, you son of a bitch, you have no sportsmanship!
