Chapter 42 The Tian Family Seeks Death
The Great Grandmaster and two Grandmasters strong enough to suppress the entire Jinling City had just perished in this desolate wilderness!
"This Hegemon really doesn't know whether he's alive or dead, daring to strike at the master time and again!"
"Heh, Lin Zhantian has been hailed as the top expert in the south for years now; he might have gotten a bit carried away."
Hearing Ye Jiu's words, Ye Ling chuckled and said.
The vehicle headed toward Jinling City.
Even though it was already night, the Su residence was still brightly lit.
Only because the old master of the Su family had just awakened and had returned to the Su family!
The vehicle stopped outside the Su family courtyard, and Ye Ling got out of the car alone.
As he just stepped into the Su family courtyard, he saw Su Rou surrounded by Su Jun, Su Ya, and several members of the Su family.
"Su Rou, that guy Ye Ling has crippled a Grandmaster from Hegemon, now Ye Ling is done for!"
"Hegemon will definitely make a move against him, even if he has a Grandmaster by his side, he can't possibly withstand Hegemon's revenge!"
"Anyway, you won't live long either, just perfect to be a pair of desperate lovers with that Ye Ling!"
Su Ya arrogantly raised her chin as she spoke to Su Rou.
At these words, Su Rou's face showed a look of desolation.
It wasn't just that Ye Ling had offended Hegemon and might die by Hegemon's hands,
but also because the people of the Su family one by one mocked her, not treating her like a family member at all!
"It won't happen… Ye Ling will be fine..."
Su Rou's voice carried a hint of a sob.
At that moment, a warm hand rested on her shoulder.
Her frail, trembling body stopped shaking this instant.
Even without turning around, she knew who stood behind her.
"You're back..."
Su Rou turned around and slowly spoke to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling nodded, glanced at Su Ya and the others beside him, and said indifferently, "Whether I die and when I die is none of your concern."
"Has the old master come home? Rou'er, lead me to see the old master!"
Su Rou nodded and led Ye Ling deeper into the Su family compound.
Now that they knew Ye Ling had a Grandmaster with him, Su Ya and the others no longer dared to act recklessly as before!
What being a Grandmaster meant, everybody knew clearly.
If they annoyed that Grandmaster, a slap could annihilate them without a place to reason their case!
"Hmph! That son-in-law Ye Ling really thinks having a Grandmaster by his side means he can stay out of trouble?"
"Heh, he's just a prisoner, isolated from the world for many years; how would he know just how strong Hegemon really is!"
"Exactly, just a mere Grandmaster, in the eyes of Hegemon, probably doesn't even count as a fart! This time Ye Ling is definitely dead!"
...
As Ye Ling and Su Rou disappeared, Su Ya and the others began their unrestrained mockery.
They dared not speak in front of Ye Ling's face, but behind his back, they freely gossiped.
Ye Ling naturally also heard the noise outside, but he did not take these jumping clowns seriously.
Under the guidance of Su Rou, Ye Ling met old Mr. Su.
"Old master."
"Ye..."
"Old master, you've just awakened, just lie down and rest."
Seeing that old Mr. Su wanted to get up, Ye Ling quickly pressed him down.
Old Master Su finally stopped worrying and lay on the bed chatting with Ye Ling.
When Ye Ling mentioned the Zhao family from Jiangnan province, Old Master Su's face was filled with shock, seemingly unable to comprehend why the Zhao family would target him.
"Old Master, don't overthink it; I've got everything under control. If the Zhao family really dares to make a move against the Su family in the future, I won't stand idly by,"
Seeing what was on the old man's mind, Ye Ling said with a smile.
Hearing this, the solemnity on Old Master Su's face dissipated, replaced by a smile.
He knew of Ye Ling's identity; with such a stabilizing force like the "Sea-Calming Needle" standing with the Su family, what were the Zhao family in comparison?
"Everybody, get the hell out of here! I'm here to find that son-in-law, Ye Ling!"
Just at this moment, a haughty voice suddenly came from outside the house.
Ye Ling frowned, a trace of displeasure flashing across his eyes.
"Rou'er, you stay here and chat with Old Master; I'll go check it out,"
"Okay, be careful!"
Su Rou's eyes showed a hint of worry.
Ye Ling smiled and patted her head before walking out.
Outside, a young man was standing proudly in the courtyard of the Su family.
The Su Ya and others, who had been recklessly discussing Ye Ling just moments earlier, were now quiet and looked at the young man with reverence.
They naturally recognized this young man as Tian Wen, the second son of the Tian family, Tian Xiong!
Tian Wen's late-night visit to the Su family, explicitly saying he was looking for Ye Ling, was mostly trouble for Ye Ling!

For Su Ya and the others, this was naturally a pleasing sight, as they had already reached the peak of their discontent with Ye Ling and couldn't wait for him to be killed the next day!
Ye Ling came out and frowned when he saw Tian Wen.
There were still people from the Tian family alive?
What Ye Ling didn't know was that since Tian Wen had always lived alone in Jinling City, he hadn't died in the massacre at the Tian family mansion!
The moment Tian Wen saw Ye Ling, fear flashed across his eyes, but then, as if recalling something, his reverence turned into mockery.
"Ye Ling! I am here to notify you; my Tian family's Grandmaster, Tian Zaiye, is waiting for you at the Jinling dojo tomorrow!"
Tian Wen said to Ye Ling in a condescending manner.
Despite the Tian family having been nearly annihilated, there was not a trace of sorrow in his eyes, but rather a hint of excitement!
Now, the vast property and power of the Tian family would inevitably fall into his hands, with only him and Tian Zaiye remaining; how could he not be excited?
Ye Ling glanced at him, and with just a look, made Tian Wen tremble and no longer dare to maintain his pompous demeanor!
"Since you've delivered your message, you can leave now,"
Ye Ling said indifferently.
As Tian Wen was leaving, a shadow emerged from the darkness and followed him.
Ye Ling had said before, all members of the Tian family must die!
"Ye Ling, you're doomed!"
"That Grandmaster of the Tian family, Tian Zaiye, was already a peak Grandmaster three years ago. With three years passed, his strength is likely beyond our imagination!"
"You really can stir up trouble, first the Ba Tang and now the Tian family. Do you really intend to offend all these powerful forces and drag our Su family into an inescapable doom?"
Su Ya glared at Ye Ling and said coldly.
Although her face was full of anger, from her voice, one could still hear a bit of schadenfreude!
Ye Ling glanced at her and, too lazy to argue, turned and entered the Su house.
In his view, rather than wasting time arguing with these jesters, he'd better spend more time with his beautiful wife!
"Hmph! Even at this time, you still maintain this arrogant demeanor; I hope you can keep it until you're killed by Tian Zaiye tomorrow!"
Su Ya said in a low voice with a cold snort.
Su Jun also sneered and spoke, "He definitely won't survive tomorrow; we'll just wait and enjoy the show!"
"Tomorrow's Jinling dojo will definitely be packed; if we want to witness this spectacle with our own eyes, we better head to Jinling dojo early!"
