On the way away from the Ziyang Sect, Su Yang remained silent.
He didn't know if his choice was right or wrong, but blindly protecting Xue'er might also be a form of constraint. The current Xue'er was no longer the same person she used to be, and all he could do was try to make up for the regrets of the past.
After a moment of silence, Li Zhong, who had been standing behind without saying a word, finally asked a question.
"Are you sure you want to hand that little girl over to that third-rate sect?"
Su Yang paused for a moment, then replied, "I am not a good mentor. Even though the Ziyang Sect is weak now, it is still much better than me in guiding them."
Li Zhong snorted coldly, crossed his arms and said, "You might as well send her to our Demon Realm. Only when people are in dire straits can their full potential be unleashed."
Su Yang slowly turned his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "I will not let her suffer the slightest harm."
Li Zhong: "..."
At this point, Su Yang slightly raised his head and closed his eyes.
Back to Ziyun City.
Before they even landed, Su Yang noticed that ten sailboats were placed in the open space next to the herb field, completely filling what was originally a large open space!
Clearly, during their trip to Qinglin City, the sect leader of the Ziyang Sect happened to send someone to deliver the Fanyun Boat to them.
He can be considered trustworthy.
Regarding this, Su Yang felt somewhat relieved about Su Lingxue's trip to the Ziyang Sect.
Finally, Su Yang chose to dock the Fanyun Boat in a corner behind the herb field. He then got off the Fanyun Boat with Li Zhong. At the same time, Su Huang and the others hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with clasped hands and fists, their joy evident on their faces.
"Ancestor, the seniors of the Ziyang Sect have sent ten sailing cloud boats! Even some towns in the surrounding area have come to witness this glory. The prestige of our Su family has risen even higher in this region!" Su Huang said happily.
Cloud-Sailing Ships, these are only found in major cities, and their existence makes the distances between cities much shorter. Now, their Purple Cloud City has gained ten Cloud-Sailing Ships overnight! Whether in terms of power or future trade, they can look far into the future!
For the Su family and for the entire Ziyun City, the value these sailboats could bring was far beyond their imagination.
In short, the sailboat holds extraordinary significance for them!
All the elders of the Su family were happy about this; in fact, the entire Su family was overjoyed.
However, at this moment, Su Yang rolled his eyes at them and said, "I don't care what happens to these sailboats in the future, but I want them so that everyone can go to Jiangdu as soon as possible in two months."
They were all stunned by these words.
Go to...Jiangdu?
Although they hadn't forgotten the agreement recently, they never expected that Su Yang would go to the Ziyang Sect and bring back ten sailboats just to have them go to Jiangdu to find their master.
this……
What a waste!
You should know that if a single sailboat were sold, it could easily fetch thousands of spirit stones, and ten of them would be tens of thousands of spirit stones! But to regard these as ordinary means of transportation, I'm afraid only Su Yang in this world would do so.
However, Su Huang didn't think so. He always felt that Su Yang seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Su Yang didn't want to say anything more, and said calmly, "You can use these sailboats however you like, but you can't use them arbitrarily when you go to Jiangdu. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
All the elders clasped their hands in greeting.
After saying that, Su Yang headed towards the inner courtyard without looking back.
Li Zhong, who was behind him, paused for a moment before following him up.
The other elders were all completely baffled.
"With such good resources, if we give ourselves some time, we will soon gain the master's approval. Why are we in such a hurry?"
"The ancestor's thoughts are unfathomable!"
"Yes, why the rush?"
The elders all expressed their incomprehension.
Just as they were filled with doubt, Su Huang snorted and said, "It is only natural that you do not know the profound meaning of the Ancestor."
The elders were puzzled: "Could it be... that the Grand Elder already knows what the Ancestor means?"
Su Huang shook his head: "I don't know the ancestor's intention either, but I think the ancestor probably won't stay in the Su family for long, so he did this. His intention is that he hopes we can grow stronger quickly."
All the elders raised an eyebrow.
Absolutely!
Judging from the current situation, everything Su Yang has done for the Su family is to strengthen their power, and the speed he seeks is so urgent, as if he will leave one day in the future. With Su Huang's explanation, it seems that everything can be explained!
Perhaps, before leaving, Su Yang wanted to give the Su family one last helping hand.
Thinking of this, a guard from the Su family rushed over.
"Elder, there's a bald man outside the gate who says he's looking for the strongest person in the Su family," the guard said, kneeling on one knee.
Looking for the strongest person in the Su family?
Why does this sound so familiar?
It seems... Li Chong asked them the same question when he first arrived.
...
Su Yang's residence.
Inside the courtyard, Su Yang sat on a stone bench with a rough stone table in front of him. He calmly arranged some chess pieces, which would be recognized by anyone familiar with the place as chess pieces.
Li Zhong slowly walked to the opposite side of Su Yang and said with a hint of curiosity, "Is this yet another new way of playing that you've come up with?"
Su Yang nodded without saying anything.
After setting everything up, Su Yang didn't offer any explanation this time, but instead asked, "What does this look like to you?"
Li Zhong frowned slightly and looked closely: "It looks like a battlefield."
Su Yang's expression remained unchanged as he raised his head and said, "That's right, this game of chess is an evolution of the battle situation."
Li Chong asked, "Oh? What are you thinking about? It seems your mind isn't on the chessboard right now."
Su Yang turned around, looked directly at Li Zhong, and said, "If I said I'm not from this world, would you believe me?"
Li Zhong remained silent.
He didn't want to answer the question, even though he did have many questions, such as why a strong person would be in such a place with weak spiritual energy, why he would delve so deeply into the mortal world, or why he had so many ways of playing that others didn't understand.
He didn't want to know any of this.
All he knew was that Su Yang could become his opponent.
That's all.
At this moment, Su Yang said seriously, "Actually, it is only when I am eating, drinking and having fun with you that I can truly relax. It is because of this that I am thinking about why I am in this world, why I have memories of my previous life, and why I have this power out of thin air."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhong frowned deeply.
