Chapter 8 - The Su Family's Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After returning to the Guardian’s Residence, Fang Mingze rushed straight to the study room. He had to tell his father about this immediately. This news was too explosive. It even concerned the future of Cang City!

Fang Yuan would usually be in the study at this time.

“Young Master, you’re back!”

As soon as he entered the house, Fang Mingze heard someone call out to him. He looked up and saw an old man in armor standing in front of him. He had a head full of white hair, and his face was filled with wrinkles that seemed to tell his age!

It was the old butler!

“Uncle Wu, is my father in the study? I have urgent business with him!” Fang Mingze looked at the old man and asked anxiously.

Uncle Wu took his time and replied with a smile, “Old Master is waiting for Young Master in the living room. He asked me to welcome the Young Master here!”

Fang Mingze did not say anything and went straight to the living room!

There was nothing surprising about it. His father must have known that he had met a grandmaster. Thus, it was only natural for his father to wait for him!

Who would dare to not pay attention to an unfamiliar grandmaster who had suddenly appeared, especially in a small city like Cang City?

As he pushed open the door and entered the living room, Fang Mingze realized that his father was sitting on the sofa with a heavy expression as if he had something on his mind!

“What exactly happened today? Where did you meet a Grandmaster-Rank expert?”

Indeed!

Fang Yuan went straight to the point with his first question!

This was also his concern!

The Su Family had previously offended a grandmaster. Two days ago, there was a grandmaster who seemed to have achieved a breakthrough. Today, another mysterious grandmaster appeared.

Three grandmasters instantly appeared in the small Cang City. This was not a good thing!

If it was a coincidence, then so be it. However, if there was a connection between the three, then the problem would be huge!

Fang Mingze was in a difficult position and momentarily didn’t know what to say.

Furthermore, he only took a cursory glance at Wang Yi and his impression of him was a little vague. He could only say that they were similar. As for whether he was the grandmaster in question or not, he couldn’t be completely sure.

What made Fang Mingze depressed was that on the way, he was so shocked that he forgot to send someone to look for information about Wang Yi!

“Mingze?”

Fang Yuan could not help but remind Fang Mingze when he saw that his son was stunned and his expression kept changing. He was excited at one moment and depressed at the next.

“Ah! Father, wait a moment. I’m still missing something!”

Only then did Fang Mingze snap out of his daze. Then, he said to the old butler beside him, “Uncle Wu, help me look up information on Wang Yi. It’s the same Wang Yi who caused a huge commotion in the city a year ago, the useless son-in-law of the Su family!”

Fang Yuan did not understand what was going on. He did not know what Wang Yi had to do with what happened today, but he still trusted his son. After all, he believed that his son had his reasons for doing so!

Soon, Uncle Wu returned with a thick stack of documents.

Fang Mingze took the documents and looked at the photo on the document. Then, his lips trembled.

There was no mistake!

He was the son-in-law of the Su family and a Grandmaster-Rank expert!

However, he did not expect that he would be able to hide it so well after being badly scolded by others for so long!

The more Fang Mingze read through the documents, the more shocked he became. Only when he finished reading the last page did he heave a sigh of relief.

It would be interesting to watch the situation!

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan, who was standing by the side, was already panicking, but he did not interrupt his son. Seeing that Fang Mingze had finished reading the documents and wanted to rush towards him again. He opened his mouth to speak but to no avail!

Fang Mingze eventually sorted out his thoughts and came up with a plan. Then, he told Fang Yuan everything that had happened today and handed the information in his hands to him!

After Fang Yuan heard this, his reaction was not much better than his son. He was so shocked that his mouth went wide agape. He was speechless for a long time!

If it wasn’t for his son’s confidence, and if he hadn’t sensed that someone had made a breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm a few days ago, Fang Yuan would never believe it!

It was simply too unbelievable!

Seeing that Fang Yuan had finished reading the documents, Fang Mingze asked with uncertainty, “Father, the Su family has a hidden grandmaster. Could they be hiding some scheme?”

Although Fang Mingze was young, he was still the son of the Guardian. Furthermore, the Su family had provoked a Grandmaster. Thus, he definitely knew about such a big matter!

Fang Yuan frowned and pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “I don’t think so. The Su family is already in a desperate situation. There’s no need to hide this fact!”

Fang Mingze nodded. Indeed, there was really no need to do so!

The person that the Su family provoked was too vicious and wanted the Su family to be destroyed!

That person wanted the Su family to perish in pain and despair!

Now that the daughter of the Su family had been forced to divorce, her business was facing bankruptcy. Her family was about to collapse!

At this moment, the Su family was facing a situation of certain death!

In the world of martial arts, the law could not govern the personal grudges of martial artists!

In other words, it was legal for the grandmaster they had offended to kill the Su family!

Therefore, given the Su family’s current situation, they would only be able to survive if they had a grandmaster. Why would they hide the existence of a grandmaster then?

Fang Mingze thought for a moment before saying, “There are three possibilities to explain the current situation!”

“The first possibility is that the Su family did not know about Wang Yi’s martial arts cultivation. They forced him to divorce because they wanted to protect him and let him escape from the Su family’s calamity. Wang Yi also did not know what the Su family was facing!”

“The second possibility is that Wang Yi knew about the Su Family’s situation and did not want to get involved in this mess. He took this opportunity to escape! After all, he was not a grandmaster just two days ago!”

“As for the third possibility, as mentioned earlier, the Su family has their own plans. After Wang Yi broke through, they chose to hide him. However, as mentioned previously, the possibility of this happening is not high!”

Fang Yuan smiled. He was very satisfied with his son’s analysis. He couldn’t help but ask, “Mingze, which one do you think is the most likely?”

“The first possibility!”

Fang Mingze said without hesitation.

Fang Yuan’s interest was piqued. It wasn’t strange that his son could analyze this situation. However, he didn’t expect Fang Yuan to be so sure. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you so sure?”

Meanwhile, Fang Mingze was very confident. He said confidently, “After interacting with him, I realized that he shouldn’t be a cold-blooded person. After all, he’s already a grandmaster. If he knew that the Su family was in danger, he definitely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing!”

Fang Yuan did not continue to pursue this question as he was very confident in his son’s judgment.

Then, he smiled and said, “Meanwhile, that person forced the Su family into such a state. This will be interesting to watch! Mingze, what do you think?”

Fang Mingze seemed to know that his father would ask him this question. Thus, he immediately replied, “It’s better to help when needed. Let Wang Yi deal with the enemy grandmaster by himself!”

“Didn’t the Su family run into some difficulties in their business? Their finances are tight and they can’t purchase any medicinal herbs. We’ll help them settle these!”

“I’ll go to the dojo tomorrow.. Then, I’ll think of a way to tell Wang Yi about the Su family’s situation!”
