Chapter 543: 419

Su Yu was busy treating the critically injured Qin Jiagui. His Flawless Doppelganger, along with others, were extremely anxious. Jin Fuhua managed to remain calm, instructing everyone to search everywhere but not to venture too far.

After quite a while, Su Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, and wiped the cold sweat from his face.

The rescue mission had drained a substantial amount of his energy, leaving him somewhat pale. He looked at Su Yun and the other women, his first words were, "What happened?"

Lei Rui was relatively calm, explaining, "We were in the crowd when we suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. We spotted a group of people in black charging into the crowd and a clash broke out, causing chaos. When the situation finally calmed down, we noticed that Qin Jiagui had fallen to the ground. We didn’t see Ni Ping anywhere." She was filled with worry as she spoke.

Looking at the fallen Qin Jiagui, Su Yu’s face was grim, saying, "His life is safe for now, but... I do not know when he will wake up." By now, he knew that the root cause of this chaos and Qin Jiagui’s injuries must be the people who arrived with Majatai. However, Majatai and his group had already left, and Su Yu had no information about their identities or origins, making it impossible to find them.

With Qin Jiagui gravely injured and unconscious, and Yuan Niping missing, Su Yu was extremely agitated. Seeing that the people he’d sent out to find Yuan Niping had all returned and shaken their heads to indicate a lack of success, he couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

After some thought, Su Yu finally gritted his teeth and said, "You all wait here, I’ll go find Lei Leian."

With the "Sky Main City" being so vast, the only way to find Yuan Niping was to seek Lei Leian’s assistance.

Su Yu found a barefooted White-Robed Man and expressed his desire to meet Lei Leian. However, the White-Robed Man shook his head, stating that according to the rules, only the Master of the Main City could seek out a City Lord, but City Lords did not have the privilege to seek or meet the Master of the Main City. He told Su Yu to leave immediately.

Furious, Su Yu marched into the grand hall, raising his voice as he shouted, "Lei Leian, I need to see you—"

The White-robed men guarding the grand hall were furious, and charged towards Su Yu.

With a furious roar, Su Yu emitted a blue-white lightning from his body. Almost instantly, Lei Leian’s voice came down, "Everyone, stand down."

"Yes." The White-robed men paused, swiftly suppressing their aggressive stances. Su Yu also withdrew his lightning power and looked up, calling out, "Lei Leian."

Lei Leian was standing beside a palace window about a hundred metres above them, staring at Su Yu. On seeing Su Yu, she smiled and said, "I was thinking that you had forgotten about me. At least you remembered to come find me. Come on up."

Su Yu gave a wry smile, and the White-robed men respectfully escorted him up.

Inside the palace above, Lei Leian, the beautiful middle-aged woman, Feng Ming, and Lance were all present. Su Yu’s sudden outburst and Lei Leian seeing him and inviting him up had caused Lance to frown, asking, "Lei Leian, who is he? Why would you let such a lowly civilian in here?"

Lei Leian shot him a glance, before laughingly retorting, "Su Yu is not just any civilian. He has helped me in the past. Moreover, he is highly capable – did you know that he..." She suddenly remembered that the matters of "Black and White City" were a secret between her and Su Yu. Sticking her tongue out, she gave a sly smile, unaware that the people in front of her were already completely aware of the matters concerning the "Black and White City" and "Ice City".

"Su Yu?" Lance’s eyebrows furrowed tighter as he finally recalled the young man he had seen in the images from the Tower of Reaching Heaven. He was the one who could summon the Demon Divine Beast, and seemed to be quite close to Lei Leian. Although this had made Lance slightly uncomfortable at the time, he reassured himself that Su Yu was merely a minor city lord, unworthy of being compared to him. Therefore, he had chosen not to pay attention to Su Yu.

Now, however, as Lei Leian invited Su Yu into her private palace with a smiling face, showing no deference, and Su Yu’s call outside lacked the respect that a city lord should have towards the Master of the Main City, Lance felt very uncomfortable and awkward.

Feng Ming, the middle-aged beautiful woman, smiled faintly as she thought back to Su Yu, the young man who had ignited a battle between Ice City and Black and White City. He was incredibly talented. However, she did not expect that he would come to find Lei Leian immediately after the grand ceremony, which indicated their unusual relationship.

Su Yu was quickly invited into the small palace, where he saw Feng Ming and Lance. But he had no time for them at the moment and hurriedly said, "Lei Leian, I need your help. During the commotion at the square, my friend went missing. Sky Main City is so vast that only you have the capacity to find her here."

Before Lei Leian could say anything, Lance, who was next to her, coldly interjected, "Sir, have you completely forgotten about the hierarchy? Don’t you realize that you are in the presence of three esteemed Master City Lords?"

Slightly surprised, Su Yu turned to look at Lance. On any other day, he would have probably bowed to show respect, but at this moment, his mind was preoccupied with concerns about his missing friend, and Qin Jiagui’s critical injury. He paid no attention to Lance and barely acknowledged the hierarchies, focusing all his attention on Lei Leian, his face full of worry.

Lei Leian nodded and said, "Good, someone come." Immediately, two white-robed men respectfully entered the room.

Seeing that Su Yu simply glanced at Lance and ignored him, Lance was filled with rage. The middle-aged beautiful woman, Feng Ming, also showed a displeased expression at his disrespect.

In their eyes, the hierarchy was held in high regard. Disrespect from a subordinate was considered a grave offense. Now, Su Yu, a puny novice city lord, was disregarding their existence, challenging their authority, and acting extremely insolent, purely based on a bit of friendship with Lei Leian.

Though Feng Ming, being more magnanimous, managed to hold her anger in check, Lance, who had already been holding in his anger due to Majatai, couldn’t hold back any longer. Encountering the seemingly insignificant Su Yu in such circumstances led to the full eruption of the prestigious Master of Fire Hell Main City, the privileged child of the heavens.

With a loud bang, Lance slapped the armrest of his chair, shattering it instantly. He then stood up, pointing his finger towards Su Yu, yelling angrily, "Peasant, you dare to treat even the Masters of Main Cities with disdain? You damned creature--" His body suddenly burst into raging flames, his imposing aura was extremely intimidating.

Caught off guard, Su Yu hadn’t expected Lance to explode the Wrath of Thunder. Lei Leian was also surprised and stuttered, "Brother Lance, what’s wrong?" She hadn’t noticed Lance’s displeasure, nor was she aware that her friendly behavior towards Su Yu was infuriating him.

Su Yu frowned at Lance, who seemed like an enraged rooster, and the middle-aged, elegant woman Feng Ming spoke lightly, "Lance is right. City Lord Su seems to have forgotten his place, and the three Main City Lords in his presence."

Su Yu’s expression changed slightly, but considering Yuan Niping’s unknown whereabouts and need for Lei Leian’s help, he felt anxious and couldn’t be bothered to argue. He bowed and said, "Esteemed Masters of Main Cities, please forgive my rudeness. My friend is missing, and I am quite anxious. Please pardon any offense."

Seeing Su Yu’s appeasement, Feng Ming smiled faintly, nodded, and forgave him. However, Lance continued to sneer resentfully, "Rudeness? Pardon? It seems to me that you are not anxious about your missing friend, but you fail to acknowledge our existence. Peasants will always remain peasants. No matter how they change, they can’t escape their lowly nature and never make it to the top."

Su Yu’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face as he glanced at Lance. (To be continued.... For more details, please visit www.qidian.com. There are more Chapters to read and please, support the author and legal reading!)
