Chapter 64
Inside the VIP room, Zhang Xiu Ying was quietly standing beside Su Yang as he was cultivating. His gaze was fixed on her, seemingly in deep thought.
Even though he held no emotions towards her at first, his heart showed a clear affection for her at this moment. Although she was also aware that her love would never materialize, because she could tell that their embrace was meaningless and mostly because she forced herself on him.
Time passed quickly with an hour of time disappearing in the blink of an eye. However, to Zhang Xiu Ying, who was constantly thinking about Su Yang and their little hugs, it felt like hours had passed.
The door to the room suddenly opened, and Wang Shuren walked inside with a bright smile as he said in a loud voice: "Congratulations, Honorable Visitor. You have successfully sold all of your monster cores for a total of 1,082 Spirit Stones!"
"…"
Su Yang slowly opened his eyes to look at Wang Shuren, but his gaze was not filled with joy — something he expected. Instead, his gaze was filled with a hint of anger.
When Wang Shuren noticed his serious gaze, his bright smile instantly disappeared from his face, and he turned to look at Zhang Xiu Ying and said one word—
"Go."
"Yes, Mrs Wang—"
“No, he will stay.” Su Yang interrupted them with a clear and domineering voice, causing the two of them to look at him in surprise.
He continued: "Sit down, Wang Shuren. I've got an important matter I want to talk to you about."
"Does this matter require the presence of a lowly servant?" Wang Shuren asked with a frown.
Su Yang did not answer him and just continued to look at him with a serious expression.
Wang Shuren glanced at Zhang Xiu Ying with an ominous look and wondered what happened when he left before sitting down.
"So? What the hell's going on? Did he do something that offended you?" he asked as he sat down.
"…"
"…"
Su Yang did not answer his question and instead mentioned one name.
"Ming Wang."
Hearing the name of his cousin coming out of his mouth, Wang Shuren's eyes widened in shock. How could he know that name and what should he do with this strange situation?
Realizing what he was trying to accomplish by making him stay, Zhang Xiu Ying also looked at Su Yang with wide-eyed eyes.
"Honorable guests! No need—" he hurriedly tried to speak before being cut by Wang Shuren.
The presence of Zhang Xiu Ying being in this room was already more than enough to disturb him, let alone jump into their conversation with the status of an ordinary servant.
"What does my cousin Wang Ming have to do with this?" Wang Shuren asked Su Yang after scolding Zhang Xiu Ying.
"What does my cousin Wang Ming have to do with this?" Wang Shuren asked Su Yang after scolding Zhang Xiu Ying.
"I recently learned some disturbing rumors about your cousin, Wang Ming, and went straight to the point of the matter – I found his existence very unpleasant …" Su Yang said in a calm yet cold voice, sending a chill all over Wang Shuren's body .
Wang Shuren finally understood the situation when he mentioned about the rumors about his cousin, Wang Ming, because he was a known troublemaker within the Sect.
"W-You want to kill him because of some rumors?" he asked her with a worried look on his face.
"I've tried many times to change his character, but even if he's my cousin, I can't do much if he doesn't listen, not to mention that the top figures within the Sect also protected him!"
Su Yang, still with an indifferent expression, said: "No, I will not kill him, I will not kill him, but if he – from this point to the front – as much as touching even a strand of hair in his hair – or anyone for that matter – I will not only visit him, I will not only visit him, but I'll also hold you accountable. "
When he mentioned 'he', his gaze was fixed on Zhang Xiu Ying, who was standing beside him with his head bowed in distress.
"You ..." Wang Shuren looked at Zhang Xiu Ying with wide eyes and an open mouth.
"I don't care how you'll deal with him, but if you tell me again that you, an Elder Sect, can't even control your cousin from your own Sect, how can I trust you to handle my personal matters?"
Wang Shuren secretly cursed Wang Ming in his heart at this moment. To think that due to his unsightly actions within the Sect that he would lose the opportunity to become an Alchemy Master, he would have to force him to listen to him even if it killed him!
"I don't care how you'll deal with him, but if you tell me again that you, an Elder Sect, can't even control your cousin from your own Sect, how can I trust you to handle my personal matters?"
Wang Shuren secretly cursed Wang Ming in his heart at this moment. To think that due to his unsightly actions within the Sect that he would lose the opportunity to become an Alchemy Master, he would have to force him to listen to him even if it killed him!
After taking the time to calm down, Wang Shuren took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand. I will take care of Wang Ming once I return to the Sect."
"I hope my decision to trust you today doesn't bite …"
Su Yang then turned to look at Zhang Xiu Ying, who was very dazed watching the situation. "You don't have to worry about this frog named Wang Ming trying to suppress you again. If he keeps bothering you, I'm sure the esteemed Sect Elders here will quickly and efficiently handle it, right?" he said as his gaze casually glanced at Wang Shuren, who obediently nodded to confirm his words.
Seeing this, tears began to fall from Zhang Xiu Ying's face. To think that he was going through the effort to help her, who had felt helpless and hopeless all along, he had not how to react or what he could do to retaliate against her, because his embrace was just a selfish act acting on the basis of despair.
"Thank you, thank you…"
The only thing he could do at this moment was to utter his heart, which eventually caused his tears to fall even faster.
"…"
Wang Shuren's jaw fell. Even though he understood the situation, he was still at a loss how to get to this point.
