Seeing their hesitant expressions, Su Yang sighed, stood up, put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and said, "The affairs of the Su family are the same whether I am involved or not. You are the ones who are handling it. I am just dealing with a few people who go against my will, that's all."
“One day I will still leave the Su family. Does that mean the Su family will cease to function? You understand the current situation better than I do. You have all served as elders for so many years. Surely you understand this better than I do.”
The elders nodded.
They were indeed the ones who mainly managed the family affairs, and the patriarch had never interfered in the family's internal affairs. Now, the patriarch's words had made them more aware of the situation.
After all, with the strength of their ancestor, he should naturally explore this vast world. When they felt that power, the same thought arose in their hearts. The ancestor couldn't stay in the Su family forever; one day he would see the world. How could they act like children, clinging to others and refusing to leave?
This is certainly not befitting of an elder of the Su family!
Su Huang coughed twice to quiet all the elders before slowly saying, "Our ancestor must have important business to attend to. You should support his actions."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Su Tianlang and said, "Tianlang, since the Ancestor has given the order, I am very relieved to entrust it to you. I hope you will perform well along the way."
After saying that, Su Huang patted Su Tianlang on the shoulder, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Su Tianlang quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Tianlang will certainly live up to everyone's expectations!"
"Um."
Su Huang nodded in satisfaction: "Then, when do you think we should set off?"
Su Yang didn't say anything; he was actually ready to leave at any time.
Su Tianlang said, "How about we set off in a couple of days?"
Su Yang slowly said, "Okay."
The elders exchanged glances and had no objections.
In the Elder Hall, Su Tianlang recounted many trivial matters within the Ziyang Sect and shared some of his experiences and cultivation methods from his recent return with Su Huang. Ziyun City is vast, and the Jiang Kingdom is immense! As one of the top sects in the Jiang Kingdom, the Ziyang Sect has access to far more than any other place.
In fact, there was one more thing Su Tianlang dared not mention: with Su Wuyang dead, who would take over as the head of the family now?
With Su Yang present, how could he dare to bring up the matter again?
He was also very curious as to why Su Yang seemed uninterested in anyone else, yet treated Su Lingxue with such utmost care. Thinking back, it seemed that their initial confrontation with Su Yang that day had gone smoothly, but when they teased Su Lingxue, Su Yang's demeanor became somewhat strange.
He didn't say anything, and could only keep this matter to himself for now, to make a decision later.
Soon, after everything was explained and some troublesome matters were resolved, everyone went back to handle their own affairs. Su Yang continued to wander around, while Su Tianlang and the other two seemed rather unsure of what to do.
They doubted Su Yang's identity and strength. If he really was some kind of transformed beast, then they were practically dozing in a tiger's den, their lives in danger at any moment!
On the way, Qiu Yi said, "Why go in two days? Since Su Yang has already decided to go to the Ziyang Sect, why not leave the next day? Wouldn't it be better to make plans as soon as possible?"
Su Tianlang said slowly, "No rush. I inquired about the situation in Ziyun City before I came. The Su family is currently at its zenith. A few days ago, they swallowed up a large part of the Ye family's power without suffering any losses. What does that mean?"
Qiu Yi shook her head.
Su Tianlang smiled faintly: "It must have been Su Yang who made the move!"
"You may not know the situation in Ziyun City. In fact, the Su family was initially the only dominant family in Ziyun City, mainly because the former patriarch, Su Wuyang, had reached the True Yuan Realm. In this corner of the land, a True Yuan Realm expert was like a giant, and no one dared to provoke him. But, that giant is dead, and the three families are now evenly matched. How could they easily take down another major family without suffering any losses?"
Qiu Yi nodded.
There must be someone with formidable strength involved, and this person could very well be Su Yang!
If that's the case, the strength Su Yang displayed that day might not have come from using some kind of secret treasure or other means; it's likely that his own strength was already extremely powerful!
And so young, so strong, isn't that exactly what they were thinking?
Qiu Yi said urgently, "In that case, isn't Su Yang one of the possibilities of transforming into human form?"
At this moment, Su Tianlang laughed again, "What's the panic? If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it already. Why would he go to such great lengths to help the Su family seize the Ye family's assets?"
Hearing this, Qiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, Su Tianlang's gaze slowly darkened: "Don't worry, as far as I know, Su Yang usually doesn't provoke others, as long as we don't mess with that girl Su Lingxue."
Su Lingxue?
Qiu Yi murmured, "Is it that little girl from that day?"
Su Tianlang nodded.
Qiu Yi took a deep breath.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was because Mo Bai glared at Su Lingxue that day that Su Yang stepped forward.
I see!
After walking for a while, Su Tianlang looked at Mo Bai, who was following behind him without saying a word, and felt a little irritated.
"Why is Mo Bai still so silent, like an idiot?" Su Tianlang said impatiently. "Settle him in, I have some things to take care of."
"Mm." Qiu Yi nodded.
After saying that, Su Tianlang strode towards the back mountain of the Su family.
In fact, he came here right after returning. He hid some treasures in this back mountain, some of which he had stolen from the sect. To avoid suspicion, he used the excuse of going home to hide them in this desolate back mountain.
Now that his strength has improved considerably, and as a core disciple of the outer sect, he can openly use these resources without having to do it secretly anymore.
However, even today, he still didn't see that desolate hill when he came.
"Strange, why is it different from what I remember?" Su Tianlang frowned.
Soon, he stopped a disciple who was about to go and tend to the herbs.
The disciple recognized Su Tianlang and said flatteringly, "Young Master Tianlang, you're back."
Su Tianlang nodded and said, "Wasn't there a mountain here before? Where did it go?"
The disciple scratched his head and then laughed, "Oh, so that's what it is. Actually, it's like this: a senior was practicing swordsmanship here. As he practiced, the mountain was chopped into powder. Moreover, we discovered that the soil of that mountain seemed to have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which is perfect for growing medicinal herbs."
Su Tianlang's eyes widened: "What? You filled this place up while practicing swordsmanship?"
Hearing these words, his heart felt like it was bleeding!
The soil must have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy. It's as if he chopped all the pills he hid into powder, and the medicinal effects seeped into the soil. How could it not be full of spiritual energy?!
"Who is that senior?" Su Tianlang suddenly asked.
The Su family disciple spoke very frankly.
"Your name is Su Yang!"
