Chapter 71: Remember, His Name is Su Yang!

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Aunt Zhang.”

Zhang Cui, who was busy, suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Huh?”

“Xiaoyu, why are you here? It’s not time to collect snakes yet, right?”

Zhang Cui was worried that she might have mistaken the date.

The venomous snakes she was raising were just a few days away from being ready. She couldn’t let Xiaoyu suffer another beating due to a few days of timing difference.

“Aunt Zhang, I’m not here to collect snakes.”

“Don’t worry, Xiaoyu. This time we have taken care of the snakes properly, so you won’t get beaten again…”

Zhang Cui looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a pained expression. This child was truly kind-hearted, and they couldn’t let Xiaoyu face everything alone.

Jiang Xiaoyu quickly explained, “Aunt Zhang, don’t worry. This time I came to bid you farewell and also to let you know that Snake Gate won’t force everyone to raise snakes anymore…”

Then Xiaoyu explained everything that had happened to Zhang Cui.

Even after hearing Xiaoyu’s explanation, Zhang Cui still couldn’t believe it.

The Snake Gate, which had been oppressing them and acting recklessly, was actually bowing down?

It felt like a towering mountain had suddenly disappeared, leaving a surreal feeling.

“Well…

“Thank you, Sir!”

As her thoughts returned, Zhang Cui also remembered that Su Yang had asked her about Xiao Yu’s situation earlier.

She didn’t think this matter would come to fruition originally.

After all, the authorities had never been able to control this matter, and they had long lost trust in the government.

Zhang Cui knelt down, unable to express her excitement.

Su Yang quickly used his sword intent to lift Zhang Cui and support her.

His sword intent had already reached level 30, and he could easily perform things he couldn’t do before by visualizing the concept.

“No need for that. This is what the Martial Suppression Division should have done, but we were late.”

Zhang Cui felt excited, but she also thought of a question.

Would Su Yang help Xiaoyu with the issue he had asked her about earlier?

But she wasn’t certain and was still worried.

“Sir… You asked me about Xiaoyu. Will you help him?” Zhang Cui anxiously looked at Su Yang.

If Su Yang didn’t intervene, she would definitely kneel down and beg him to help Xiaoyu.

“Don’t worry, he will follow me from now on.”

Su Yang smiled.

Kind-hearted people should be treated with kindness.

“Phew…” Zhang Cui breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of her worries, and a smile returned to her face.

“Thank you, Sir!”

“Xiaoyu… You better stick with this gentleman from now on. This is your opportunity.”

“But be sure not to make any mistakes…”

After catching up for a while, Jiang Xiaoyu finally managed to escape from Zhang Cui’s repeated advice and warnings.

“Phew…”

“Brother Yang, this feels more exhausting than getting beaten.”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked up at the sky.

“Does that mean you prefer getting beaten?”

“I was just kidding.”

Jiang Xiaoyu grinned foolishly. “Brother Yang, where are we going next?”

“Let’s first go to Kaiyang City.”

“I heard they are experiencing a drought over there. Are you going to solve the drought?”

“Something like that. I want to see the situation.”

“But how can we solve a drought? It’s a natural disaster. Can we really do something about it?”

“With a sword, I can solve it with a single strike.”

“Brother Yang, I’m scared. Can’t you stop showing off…

Can we not act cool?

Su Yang’s words left Jiang Xiaoyu speechless.

He was still young and inexperienced. But there’s no way a drought can be solved with a single strike of a sword.

After leaving Linjiang City, the three of them flew in mid-air.

Su Yang carried Xiao Yu using his sword intent.

Through their interactions, Su Yang discovered that Jiang Xiaoyu was quite cheerful and talkative. He didn’t show excessive respect toward Su Yang, but he still held the necessary respect.

After Su Yang left Linjiang City, Qin Lei quickly began discussing the use of the 600,000 taels of silver with the local officials.

The main priority was to compensate the people.

As a result, the government started mobilizing extensively.

They collected information from every household, mainly focusing on whether there were any injured or deceased individuals.

It wasn’t too troublesome of a task.

After a thorough assessment, the silver was gradually distributed.

When the people of Linjiang City received the silver, they felt as if they were dreaming.

Some couldn’t help but slap themselves.

After confirming that it was real, tears welled up in their eyes, and their hands holding the money trembled.

It seemed that the days of hardship finally had a glimmer of hope.

Were they finally going from bitter to sweet?

The officials who were distributing the money were also deeply moved. But there was one more thing they had to say.

“Remember, it is the prefecture, the Martial Suppression Division, the Four-Direction Inspectors, Su Yang, who helped you reclaim your hard-earned money.”

They stood still and watched as the people, with tears streaming down their faces, repeated the words spoken to them by the officials who had just left.

After a while, when their trembling bodies finally calmed down, the people slowly knelt down, bent their bodies, placed their hands in front, and lowered their heads.

“We, the commoners… express our gratitude to Lord Su!” This voice marked the beginning.

On this day, all the people of Linjiang City paid their respects.

They had never seen Su Yang, but they knew that he had saved them from dire circumstances.

They all paid their respects!

On this day, the Martial Suppression Division’s soldiers, the city’s officials, Qin Lei…

All the officials felt a mix of emotions.

Listening to the words of gratitude, they further understood that as officials, their duty was to serve the people. [Task Completed: Will of All Beings +1]

[Task Completed: Will of All Beings +50]

After a short while of leaving Linjiang City, they arrived within the vicinity of Kaiyang City.

Upon entering the range of Kaiyang City, Su Yang witnessed the current situation facing the area.

The river was dry, the land was cracked, and as far as the eye could see, it was a barren land…

It was currently summer, but not a hint of green could be seen.

Something was clearly abnormal.

“Old Gu, does this situation… seem like a natural disaster?”

Su Yang frowned. Although he didn’t know how long it had been since it last rained in this area, the situation didn’t seem right.

If it were a simple case of drought, it wouldn’t be confined to just the area of Kaiyang City. The coverage would be much larger.

With his sword intent enveloping the area, he felt as if the vitality of this place had been forcibly plundered.

After observing for a while, Gu Xi solemnly said, “Sword Master, there may be evil immortals present in this area. We need to be careful.”

“Even if some cultivators have low cultivation levels, they possess various means to contend against higher-level cultivators.”

Hearing Gu Xi’s assessment, Su Yang nodded in agreement.

He was currently very strong, but he didn’t believe he had reached the point of being invincible.

Furthermore, from what he had learned so far, the powerful cultivators in this world were on a different level than the strongest martial cultivators.

The strongest martial cultivators reached Martial Saint, and their path ended there.

However, an immortal cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage was equivalent to a Martial Saint.

And there were even higher realms beyond that.

In the face of cultivators, caution was necessary. They mustn’t let their guard down.

“Let’s go. Regardless, let’s first go to Kaiyang City and assess the situation.”

“Luo Hongsheng should have more information.”

“If it truly is an evil immortal, then we’ll see how strong they are.”

“If they are too powerful, I can always retreat and cultivate for a few days before considering the next steps.”

Hearing Su Yang’s words, Gu Xi felt that something was amiss.

Cultivate for a few days?

Sword Master, did you use the wrong term?

But when he thought about Su Yang’s rapid growth in strength, he couldn’t find the words to express himself.

He felt extremely uncomfortable.

It felt as if all of his precious cultivation experience was useless when applied to Su Yang.

He felt a great sense of frustration..
