Chapter 121: Snow Kite Joins Us, and the Fairy Descends to the Mortal Realm
Since he had attained the strength of the Fourth Rank, there was no longer a need to keep a low profile—at least not within Yanggu County.
In his mind, Su Yang had already marked the Chen and Lin families with a cross.
The world was still in chaos, the overall situation unsettled. Eliminating families could still be done in the shadows; with everything in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, officials would not waste time investigating such matters. However, if the world were to stabilize in the future, such crimes would surely be pursued. One must act quickly to exterminate a clan.
As for the Zhao family, if Zhao Hongyan’s bone structure and innate talent proved satisfactory, he could leave them be.
*I wonder if the Chen and Lin families have daughters?*
*Hmm!*
One shouldn't be too hasty in exterminating families. It’s better to investigate thoroughly first. After all, the stronger the martial artist, the better the child's talent and bone structure. Tomorrow, he would have his servants make inquiries. Even if they were married, it wouldn't matter; there was always the possibility of divorce or widowhood.
As for the County Magistrate, he held an official position. If he were killed, the authorities would investigate to the end. Unlike commoners, he could not be touched.
The Wei family—as long as Huo Luoluo remained by his side, the Wei family was effectively his own power. There was no need to wipe them out.
It was all happening quite fast.
...
Inside the room.
It was the first time his "Qi-Gazing Technique" had encountered such a situation; he was unable to discern the destiny of the woman before him. Perhaps it was because his technique was too low-level.
Seeing this, the house maids widened their eyes, a crimson flush rising to their cheeks. Their master was simply too...!
Perhaps.
A dissolute young master, flirtatious and reckless, even known for destroying families and playing with widows for amusement—he was practically a demon in human form. While the maids wouldn't call themselves saints, they had no desire to be associated with a pure villain.
Feeling the warmth in his embrace, Su Yang spoke in a gentle tone, patting the woman’s body to soothe her.
"Didn't that boy just enter the Third Rank a short while ago? How could he have reached the Fourth Rank so quickly?"
"Yes, my lady," the servant replied, an irrepressible excitement evident on his face.
"I wonder who is fated with the Immortal?" Su Yang asked, his brows slightly furrowed.
Su Yang had just woken up when a series of knocks came at the door. He asked in a quite displeased tone, "Li Yeniu, are you trying to die? Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?"
He only needed to know that Su Yang was about to be taken away; he had to pamper her well tonight.
Su Yang looked at Su Yang with a bewildered expression; not only could she not make a choice, she didn't even know what was happening before her.
"His father is quite impressive."
"Your wife has a connection with me, and a connection with Yunxiao Mountain. At this time tomorrow, I will take her away from here to practice at Yunxiao Mountain. If you have any final words, handle them quickly."
This was the case of one man attaining the Way, and his dogs and chickens ascending to heaven.
Especially the Zhao family.
If Su Yang were a lowly servant in a wealthy household and encountered a charming, mature lady of the house with disheveled hair, wearing only a white inner garment, his mind would likely have already begun to wander.
"Master...!"
Hearing the voice from outside, Su Yang slowly climbed out of bed, looking at the woman and Su Yang before him with a flash of confusion in his eyes.
Indeed.
For the entire day, the servants of the Su household were immersed in excitement.
The master sat with a book, reading and annotating; although he did not urge her to leave or delay her sleep, Su Yang’s heart grew increasingly anxious...!
After a long while, Su Yang’s mood finally settled.
"I wonder why the Fairy has come to this place?" Su Yang dared not dally and asked quickly.
Later, when she met her master and senior sister, she could hold her head high and say she had found a good man.
Li Yeniu brought the news back quickly.
Li Yeniu was completely excited, rushing out the door to share the good news with all the martial arts instructors of the Su family.
The next morning.
"Master."
Liu Wenxiang and Wang Chunxiao also learned that Su Yang had entered the Fourth Rank. The mother and daughter looked at each other, a hint of worry appearing in their charming almond eyes: "Daughter, haven't you and your husband shared a bed yet?"
Su Yang truly saw the "Immortal" Li Yeniu had mentioned in the courtyard. She stood upon a snow-white gourd, dressed in white as snow, with the ethereal aura of a transcendent being. Her dark hair draped over her shoulders, and her figure was graceful and curvaceous. She appeared to be in her thirties.
At that moment, Su Yang felt his worldview shattered instantly. What kind of realm was this?
"Master... I heard that the mother who became a nun was also a nun; it counts as a daughter inheriting her mother's profession."
Zhao Hongyan let out a cold snort, clearly displeased: "Being a concubine, how embarrassing!"
Bai Guanguan, who had not been Su Yang’s woman for long, felt a hint of gratification in her cold eyes upon hearing this. She had chosen this man correctly; not yet twenty, he had already entered the Fourth Rank. His future would surely be unstoppable.
The news of Su Yang entering the Fourth Rank spread instantly throughout the Su household.
...
...
If it weren't for wanting to recruit such a good talent as Su Yang, Yunxiao would not have wasted so many words.
Moreover.
As for the Su residence.
Very soon.
It was indeed quite astonishing.
...
"Tell the Su family member who delivered the invitation that I, the Magistrate, will do my best to attend," Magistrate Ma said.
Having said that, Yunxiao ignored the conversation between Su Yang and the other woman and walked straight toward the door. The snow-white gourd at her waist grew larger again, and she sat cross-legged, waiting quietly.
Night fell.
"Leaving is better than dying."
"What is the Jade Ice Physique?" Su Yang asked curiously.
Bai Guanguan touched her small belly, a hint of admiration in her eyes, and she felt even more affection for Su Yang.
Looking at the soft and delicate Su Yang before him, Su Yang nodded. It was better to just say it outright and save her the worry.
"So fast?"
The next morning.
The yamen runner stepped back.
"At the time, I thought that boy had just entered the Third Rank and would probably take several years to reach the Fourth. Perhaps he was slightly better than the Su family's heir, who was a Third Rank martial artist at twenty-eight, but the Su family was willing to marry you as the primary wife, while this Su Yang could only take you as a concubine. Naturally, I was unwilling."
Now.
"Where did this 'Immortal' come from?"
"Master, Miss Su Yang is awake," a servant rushed into the room to report.
After a long while, Su Yang finally calmed down, but she insisted on staying by Su Yang’s side; otherwise, she would feel cold all over and couldn't help but sob. Perhaps it was the shock that made her develop a sudden dependence on him, so Su Yang kept her by his side.
"I heard the Master has entered the Fourth Rank?"
...
Twenty years old, Fourth Rank, and a scholar’s degree!
"Mother, I've read them, but... but there hasn't been a useful opportunity."
Wang Chunxiao nodded and then lowered her head, her mood heavy, touched by a sense of loneliness and misery.
"What? He entered the Fourth Rank?"
"Daughter, have you read the books I gave you recently? Don't try to deceive me."
As for why it was only acting up now, it was likely due to the brutal beating she had received from that group of thugs last time.
After struggling with the thought for a while, Su Yang realized...
"Tell the wives, I am going to sleep."
"Don't forget the master's important business."
"Master...!"
Su Yang, seeing Su Yang coming to help her, felt the panic in her heart instantly settle. Her eyes reddened, and she threw herself into his arms, sobbing softly. The anxiety that had built up since his arrival was instantly washed away.
Flying on a sword?
"Master, I...?"
[Qi-Gazing Technique]
"Master, I heard that the master hasn't taken a bed-chamber maid in a long time, has he?"
...
"How is that possible?"
"Father, but he wants me to be a concubine?"
It meant becoming a hegemon in Yanggu County. The servants of the household were naturally excited; from now on, they would hold their heads higher than the servants of other families.
Su Yang entered the Fourth Rank.
"As you command."
He hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Slow down, don't fall."
Later, I was Third Rank, and that boy was also Third Rank.
Zhao Wanjian’s fat chin quivered as he looked at his daughter, Zhao Hongyan: "Girl, I think marrying this Su Yang was a good choice after all. This boy has an immeasurable future!"
Inside the room, only the candlelight flickered with a faint glow.
Su Yang felt great joy and hurriedly followed the servant to the room where Su Yang was. Sure enough, just as he entered, he saw Su Yang walking back and forth in the room, leaning on her frail body.
The neighbors at the Wang family.
"Hmm!"
"I heard it too. It's too impressive. Our master is only twenty years old. In the future, he might even pass the imperial examinations; a master of both letters and martial arts."
"Oh, what heinous act did Xue Yuan commit to have a daughter who became a nun?"
"Congratulations, Master. Our Su family can finally squeeze into the ranks of the Fourth Rank families in Yanggu County."
What the hell?
"I'm fine, I'm fine...!"
...
"Tell the Su family who sent the invitation that I, the Magistrate, will do my best to attend," Magistrate Ma said.
Having said that, Yunxiao ignored the conversation between Su Yang and the other woman and walked straight toward the door. The snow-white gourd at her waist grew larger again, and she sat cross-legged, waiting quietly.
