Chapter 544: Chapter 420: The Angry Lance (4th Update)

Lei Leian saw Lance continuously insulting Su Yu and became unhappy, saying, "Brother Lance, this is ’Sky Main City’, not ’Fire Hell Main City’. Su Yu is the city lord under ’Sky Main City’, and only I have the right to reprimand him. Brother Lance, you seem to be losing your composure today, I think Auntie should take you out to cool down."

Lance’s face changed, "Lei Leian, are you driving me away?"

Lei Leian shook her head, not wanting to argue with him any further.

Seeing the atmosphere become increasingly tense, Feng Ming stood up with a smile on her face, saying, "I am a bit tired, Lance, help me take a walk outside." Then she extended a hand towards him.

Lance’s face alternated between red and green, angered. However, since Feng Ming had asked, he couldn’t refuse. He extended his arm; Feng Ming placed her hand on his arm, gave Lei Leian and Su Yu a smile, and then walked out with Lance.

Through just a few short sentences, Feng Ming realized that Su Yu, someone Lei Leian had only met not long ago, was more important to her than Lance, who she’d known from childhood.

As Lance left, he glared at Su Yu, as if he wanted to tear him apart. Feng Ming could see it, and so could Lance. But Lei Leian was now defending Su Yu, and indeed, this was her ’Sky Main City’, it wasn’t appropriate for Lance to lose his temper here. Having been well brought up, he quickly managed to control his anger, but his hatred for Su Yu only grew.

Originally, he hadn’t considered Su Yu his enemy, after all, he saw himself as possessing a noble status, and naturally didn’t deem it necessary to concern himself with such a lowly commoner. It would be as if a human didn’t bother with a bustling ant. However, soon, Lance realized this ant wasn’t so simple; in Lei Leian’s eyes, this ant’s status and importance even surpassed his own. For the sake of Su Yu, she had even ended up driving him away.

Losing to a commoner he had always looked down upon, made Lance want to explode with fury.

He could tolerate Majatai’s insults, but not a single slight from Su Yu, because Majatai and he were from the same noble race, whereas Su Yu was just a nobody without any background, a country bumpkin who’d emerged from Heavenly Pit Forrest. A commoner.

"This lowly creature, he thinks just because he has some talent to become a city lord, and because of sheer luck, got a Demon God Core and can summon a Demon Divine Beast, he can actually become someone important, a superior being?" Lance sneered in his heart, with a distant look in his eyes, whispering to himself, "I’ll make you realize, even a lowly commoner, no matter how much he jumps around, will always remain a commoner..."

Watching Feng Ming and Lance leave the palace, Su Yu didn’t bother himself with Lance’s attitude. The important thing now was to find Yuan Niping.

"Su Yu, I’m sorry, Brother Lance wasn’t like this before. It must be because he is upset today, it’s all Majatai’s fault, I hope you won’t blame Lance," Lei Leian said with an apologetic look on her face.

Su Yu shook his head slightly, not caring about Lance at the moment, and said, "Lei Leian, during the earlier chaos at the square, I lost one of my friends. Could you issue a command to have your subordinates search for her? ’Sky Main City’ is so vast, only you have such ability."

Lei Leian nodded, summoned someone and gave them the order. Meanwhile, she took out a jade rod from her hand, slightly activated it and immediately, a light beam shot out from the rod, soon forming a light sphere in front of them. Within the sphere were shifting human shadows, quickly displaying the crowded square.

Seeing the surprised look in Su Yu’s eyes, Lei Leian explained, "All the important places in ’Sky Main City’ are equipped with this monitoring device, which this city lord’s scepter can activate and display. Let’s see what exactly happened on the square, perhaps we can find some clues."

He hadn’t expected such a device to exist in the "Main City", perked up. Lei Leian continued to adjust the scepter, and the image in front of them changed and gradually became clear. But, the playback speed was fast and before long, they reached the moment when a bunch of short, thin men in black appeared, triggering unrest. Lei Leian slowed the playback, saying, "These guys from ’Sand City’..."

Su Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, finally realizing that those men in black and Majatai were from another "Sand City".

In the image, one could clearly see the group of men in black guarding a young man. He had a debauched look on his face and kept scanning the crowd, pointing towards various individuals.

Lei Leian zoomed in slowly so that they could clearly see the young women who were the selection targets of the young man. He pointed them out, and his men rushed forth to grab these beautiful women, triggering a conflict.

Su Yu’s face darkened more as he finally spotted Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping amid the crowd. They seemed taken aback by the sudden calamity. Yuan Niping had been selected by the young man and instantly seized by two of the skinny men in black. Qin Jiagui screamed and lunged towards them, only to be struck in the chest by the young man.

Qin Jiagui spat out fresh blood and fell heavily to the ground. Through the surveillance image, Su Yu could clearly hear him calling out "Niping" in despair before fainting.

Su Yu’s hands were tightly clenched, with veins popping out of his forehead. He finally understood why Qin Jiagui, despite his near fatal injuries, had managed to hang onto life. Yes, it was his tenacity towards Yuan Niping; that’s why he couldn’t leave this world.

Watching the unfolding events on the screen, Su Yu quietly sighed and raised his head. "Cancel the order you just sent. There’s no need... to look for her anymore... Ni Ping is not in ’Sky Main City’ anymore."

Lei Leian quietly put away the screen, then asked, "Su Yu, is the kidnapped girl your friend you’ve been looking for?"

"Lei Leian, tell me, who are they, and where do they live?" Without looking back at Lei Leian, Su Yu spoke with an indifferent voice.

Lei Leian was taken aback, then replied, "Su Yu, do you want to find them?"

Su Yu simply nodded in silence.

Lei Leian couldn’t help but think of her aunt Feng Ming and brother Lance’s fear of Majatai. Recalling Majatai’s arrogant face and his disdain for her recently deceased grandfather and even herself, conflicting thoughts were raging within her...

With gritted teeth, finally, Lei Leian said, "Su Yu, I’ll go with you. I refuse to believe that these guys are tougher than that little girl from ’Black and White City’. We have dealt with her already. Can’t we handle one ’Sand City’?"

Su Yu started slightly, turning back to look at her, somewhat surprised.

A smile appeared on Lei Leian’s face. "Su Yu, I’m not doing this for you. Majatai has insulted the ’Sky Main City’, and as a City Lord, I can’t tolerate that. My aunt Feng and others may put up with it, but not me. Even if you don’t want to deal with them, I will."

Su Yu gave a nod. His main concern now wasn’t how to deal with "Sand City"; it was to rescue Yuan Niping. He could only imagine how miserable the fate of a girl could be in the hands of those villains. Every second counts; he couldn’t delay any longer.

"Lei Leian, do you know where ’Sand City’ is? How do we get there?" Su Yu asked anxiously. He hoped to intercept them midway; otherwise, breaking into a Main City to save someone would be even more difficult.

Lei Leian hesitated for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don’t have any scrolls for teleportation to ’Sand City’..." She paused, then continued, "Wait for me below. I’ll go find my aunt Feng first; she might have a solution. Then I will find you."

Su Yu nodded, and he and Lei Leian left the palace together.

When he returned to the square, the critically injured Qin Jiagui finally woke up. Upon seeing Su Yu, he tightly grabbed his arm and croaked, "Ni Ping...save Ni Ping..."

Su Yu nodded, "I know, Ni Ping was taken away by those guys. I’m working on a plan. It’s going to be okay. Look after yourself and recover from your injuries." He put his hand on Qin Jiagui and noticed that surprisingly, his injuries had improved remarkably since regaining consciousness. It was truly miraculous.

With gritted teeth, Qin Jiagui insisted, "I want to go, take me with you. I must save Ni Ping. My injuries are fine now; I am fine." Leaning on Su Yu, he slowly rose to his feet.

Su Yu watched Qin Jiagui in shock, then hugged him tightly. He could feel Qin Jiagui’s entire body trembling. His miraculous healing was a result of tapping into his life force. It was the miracle of love.

Su Yu was deeply moved.

Soon after, Lei Leian rushed out, saying anxiously, "Su Yu, come with me to see my aunt Feng." She then pulled him along as she ran back.

Su Yu was taken aback. "What happened, did you get the answer?"

Lei Leian answered helplessly, "Aunt Feng said she knows, but she won’t tell. We have to see her, she insisted. Aunt Feng is really strange."

Su Yu simply hummed in response; without further comment, he left with Lei Leian to see Feng Ming. (To be continued, log in to www.qidian.com to read more Chapters and support the author and legitimate reading!)
