Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Don’t Take It to Heart

The crowd erupted in an uproar of excitement upon hearing those words!

Investing in a Su Family project meant a steady stream of income and fostering closer ties with the powerful Su Family.

How could they not be thrilled?

Su Mi, seeing their reaction, smiled brightly and prepared to elaborate further on the details of the project.

However, at that moment, Master Sunx quickly walked onto the stage and said in a low voice, "Young Miss, there’s something I need to discuss with you!"

"Hmm?"

Su Mi clearly felt a wave of dissatisfaction at being interrupted by Master Sunx.

But seeing that all eyes were on her, Su Mi swiftly regained control of the situation and said graciously, "Ah, right, let me take this opportunity to introduce someone to you all. This is Master Sunx, the Su Family’s top martial artist. It was thanks to his tireless efforts that my grandfather recovered, as Master Zhang risked his life to obtain a rare medicine for him!"

"So this is the Su Family’s first master, Master Sunx! Truly exceptional!"

"Master Sunx, come, come! You must at least have a drink with us!"

"With a master like Master Sunx, no wonder the Su Family is so enviable!"

The guests, upon hearing Su Mi’s words, immediately began raising their glasses to flatter him.

But at that moment, Master Sunx had no interest in exchanging pleasantries, and he pressed on urgently, "Young Miss, my matter is of utmost importance. Do you still remember the young man we encountered on Qi Mountain? He... he’s not simple!"

A young man from Qi Mountain?

Not simple?

Hearing this, Su Mi sneered coldly, "You mean that Yang Tian? Of course, he’s not simple. Otherwise, how could he have left such an impression on me?"

As she spoke, an uncontrollable flame of anger ignited in Su Mi’s heart.

From birth to this day, never had Su Mi felt such humiliation as she had when she encountered Yang Tian on Qi Mountain!

Particularly his aloof and indifferent attitude toward her that day—it was as though she didn’t exist!

She, the eldest daughter of the illustrious Su Family, ignored by some countryside ruffian?

How could Su Mi possibly tolerate it?

Seeing that Su Mi still recalled Yang Tian, Master Sunx disregarded her attitude and continued, "Young Miss, I’m afraid you misunderstood my point. He is..."

"The Innate Martial King, right? Master Sunx, you’ve said that numerous times already. So what?" Su Mi replied with disdain.

"So what?"

Seeing her dismissive expression, Master Sunx shook his head and said, "Young Miss, have you forgotten what you promised him back then..."

"Promised him?"

Hearing this, Su Mi scoffed even more sarcastically, "Promised him what? That the Su Family would serve him as slaves for a hundred years? Haha, absurd! I said it then, and I’ll say it now—would he even dare to accept it if we offered?"

Clearly unwilling to continue the discussion, Su Mi took another sip of red wine, ignoring Master Sunx.

In Su Mi’s mind, what happened back then was merely a temporary expedient. She never intended to fulfill such an unrealistic promise.

In fact, if not for Master Sunx bringing it up today, Su Mi would have forgotten about it entirely.

Have the Su Family serve Yang Tian for a hundred years?

Who would believe such a thing? Su Mi hadn’t left any written agreement or recording of it, after all.

Besides, the Su Family had been dominating for so many years, practically the local emperors. A mere martial artist, no matter how skilled, dared to dream of making the Su Family his servants?

That would either be lunacy or sheer stupidity!

After another sip of wine, Su Mi finally spoke again, "Master Sunx, some jokes are best left in the past. That arrogant man may have been brazen on Qi Mountain, but do you truly think he’d dare show up at the Su Family’s doorstep?"

"But..."

Master Sunx opened his mouth to argue further.

But Su Mi cut him off impatiently, "Master Sunx, I think you’ve overexerted yourself today. You should turn in early and rest. Whatever concerns you have—if that brat even dares to step foot in the Su Family—it doesn’t matter! Do you think the Su Family cares about a nobody like him?"

With that, Su Mi returned to mingling with the guests, as though nothing had happened.

Master Sunx had long suspected Su Mi would not honor her promise to Yang Tian after they descended from Qi Mountain.

But times had changed!

According to Master Sunx’s disciple, Chen Shu, Yang Tian was likely an unparalleled powerhouse—the strongest Martial King in China!

Such a peerless figure could not be brushed off so easily!

What Master Sunx didn’t realize was that the distance between Taiwan and the mainland, coupled with their differing communication networks, often caused delays in information.

At present, Yang Tian wasn’t merely the strongest Martial King in China—he was the mightiest Martial God who had forced Japan to bow and shocked the entire world!

Nevertheless, observing Su Mi’s carefree mingling with the guests, Master Sunx sighed and murmured to himself, "Young Miss, you’re no strongman yourself. How could you possibly grasp the world of the strong? Compared to them, the Su Family means nothing. Let’s hope... let’s hope I’m just overthinking this."

With that, Master Sunx left the rear courtyard of the Su Family mansion in dejection...

As a dominant force, the Su Family’s patriarch’s 90th birthday wasn’t a celebration that ended in a single day.

In true Su Family grandeur, the banquet lasted three days and nights. Some speculated the festivities would culminate only on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Thus, the Su Family Mansion remained bustling, its atmosphere filled with jubilance. Outside the mansion, security personnel rotated in shifts.

After all, with such a massive influx of guests, one shift of guards simply wasn’t sufficient!

Yet today’s batch of guards found themselves staring at a young man dressed entirely in black, looking no older than seventeen or eighteen.

It wasn’t just that his outfit—casual and carefree—stood in stark contrast to the tailored suits of the other guests.

Nor was it because he showed up without even a token gift for the occasion.

The key issue was that this young man wasn’t here to celebrate at all.

"What? Say that again, I didn’t hear you clearly. What are you here for?" one of the guards asked with an exaggerated expression.

The young man replied calmly, "I’m here to collect a debt."

"Collect a debt? At the Su Family? Kid, you must’ve lost your mind!"

Eyeballing the young man again to confirm he wasn’t joking, the guard sneered dismissively, "Do you even know where you are? This is the Su Family! Even our Chief Executive Officer treads carefully here, yet you say you’re here to collect a debt? Tell me, what kind of debt? Who in the Su Family owes you anything?"

"The one who owes me should be Su Mi. As for the debt... I’d say it’s the entire Su Family." The young man’s tone remained indifferent.

"The Young Miss owes you a debt? The entire Su Family? Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, all the guards burst into uproarious laughter.

Who was Su Mi, the eldest daughter of the Su Family?

In the guards’ eyes, she was like a Heavenly Immortal, unattainable and untouchable!

Looking at the young man’s appearance, it was clear he wasn’t some affluent heir from Taiwan. Someone like him likely couldn’t even get close to Su Mi, let alone claim she owed him anything.

After laughing, the lead guard snorted disdainfully and said, "Kid, let me tell you, today is the Old Master’s 90th birthday. This is no place for you to cause trouble. If you know what’s good for you, get lost now, or else..."

Before he finished his sentence, the guard gestured for backup.
