章 10: The Su Family Makes Trouble
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Good heavens! Yun Qingyan didn't want to have anything to do with Baili Qingxue anymore." Yun Qingyan shouted in her heart.
She quickly cried out, "Grandpa, I don't like Baili Qingxue anymore!"
Grand Master Yun was walking ahead with large strides when he heard her and stopped. He looked back doubtfully at Yun Qingyan. "Are you serious?"
Yun Qingyan liked Baili Qingxue for so many years like she had been possessed or something as if she would even throw her life away for him. Now she was suddenly saying that she didn't like him anymore, so Grand Master Yun couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Yun Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. "I'm serious! As serious as can be!"
Her expression was cold and there seemed to be a glow around her ugly face.
"I was willing to sacrifice my life for him, but when I was on the verge of being beaten to death on the battling platform, he wasn't even willing to glance at me. Why should I bother loving such a scoundrel?" Every word she said was firm and resolute. "I've already sorted my thoughts out. I'm not going to live for anyone else anymore. I, Yun Qingyan, will be the owner of my own life!"
"Excellent!" Grand Master Yun looked in relief at Yun Qingyan, and a comforting feeling of seeing his granddaughter mature overwhelmed his heart. "You are my granddaughter alright! A granddaughter of mine should be as confident as this!" He continued to speak boldly, "What is that Baili Qingxue anyway? Only the most outstanding man in the world is worthy of my Qingyan!"
Yun Qingyan couldn't help but start wiping away the perspiration on her forehead. Where did Grand Master Yun get the confidence to talk like that?
Guanghan was standing to one side, and even his cold expression seemed to twitch a little at this.
In reality, probably no man in this world wanted Yun Qingyan, right?
"Reporting to My Lord!" An armored guard walked in.
Grand Master Yun's authoritative gaze landed on the guard who came in. "What is the matter?"
"The head of the Su family, Su An, would like to see you. He says he wants an explanation," replied the guard respectfully with a bowed head under Grand Master Yun's authoritative gaze.
Grand Master Yun immediately scoffed angrily and slammed the wooden table when he heard it was someone from the Su family.
The hard wooden table made from Japanese hop-hornbeam instantly cracked and split into a few pieces, shocking everyone in the room.
"This Su family is really bold! One of theirs injured my granddaughter and I haven't gone to make trouble for them, but they're here to demand an explanation? How bold of them!"
Grand Master Yun turned to look at Yun Qingyan to see that her head was bent, so he thought that she was frightened. He reached a large palm out to pat her head and said indulgently, "Qingyan, don't be afraid. The Su family is nothing! Grandpa will make sure justice is served!"
Yun Qingyan rubbed her nose. She wondered if she should tell her grandfather that she gave Su Ling a lashing and had also stripped Su Ling of all her clothes on the battling platform.
But before Yun Qingyan could say anything, an aggressive figure barged in through the entrance and came in so angrily that he sent the servant next to him flying.
The man who had barged in was a muscular man with a dignified look on his face. This was Su An, the head of the Su family. He was a Third Stage Heaven Elementalist and was one of the top fighters in all of Beian Nation.
The moment he saw Yun Qingyan, the oppressive authoritativeness around him immediately gushed towards her like tidal waves.
"Humph!" Grand Master Yun scoffed coldly. There was a blast and Su An gave a muffled cry. He moved back by a few steps quickly before managing to stop himself.
"Does the head of the Su family think I'm dead? How dare you bully my granddaughter right in front of me!"
Su An's expression was grim and he took a deep breath to calm himself down after glancing at Grand Master Yun.
How could he have forgotten? Marquis Yun of Yun Mansion was famous for spoiling and being protective of his Yun Qingyan.
But there was no way he was going to take this matter lying down.
Su An clasped his hands together as a greeting and started angrily, "I have come here to disturb My Lord because I demand an explanation for my daughter, Su Ling. I hope that you will not defend your granddaughter just because she's related to you."
And logically speaking, Yun Qingyan had used this lousy constitution of hers to go up against Su Ling, a Third Stage Elementalist, so clearly Yun Qingyan was on the losing end. What explanation did the Su family want?
Grand Master Yun was filled with doubts as he looked in confusion at Yun Qingyan.
Yun Qingyan awkwardly rubbed her nose as her grandfather stared at her.
"Er, Grandpa…"
