Royal City, Yang Residence.
This place was surrounded by the Death Legion and no one was allowed to enter. Even officials and nobles had to stay far away from this place.
The Yang Residence had already been sealed for five days. News about Yang Wu spread like wildfire, and more and more people gathered. Some wanted to meet the youngest Heavenly Master Marquis in history, some wanted to build a good relationship with the Yang Family, and some wanted to propose marriage …
No matter why they came, they had to stop outside the Yang Residence. This caused the area outside the Yang Residence to be overcrowded. No matter who persuaded them to leave, they were all waiting for the Yang Residence to be unsealed, hoping to be able to meet the Yang Family as soon as possible.
"All of you make way, all of you make way." A luxurious carriage arrived in front of the Yang Residence. The coachman kept shouting for the people in front to make way.
"Why are you squeezing? Can't you see that there are people in front? We can't pass," someone replied unhappily.
"That's right. Everyone has to follow the order of first come, first served. Don't squeeze around here," someone else agreed.
"My family's Old Master Su is Earl Yang Zhennan's father-in-law. He's preparing to enter the Yang Residence, so please make way," the coachman said.
Some people were stunned for a moment, but they still made way for the other party.
Apart from Old Master Su, Su Houran and Su Mingbo were also in the carriage.
They wanted to repair their relationship with the Yang Family, so they treated this matter very seriously.
When the Su Family's carriage squeezed to the front, Old Master Su walked down with the support of his two sons.
Su Houran went forward and said to the Death Legion's general, "Please report that Old Master Su is here. Your Lord Yang Zhennan will definitely come out to meet him. He's your Lord's father-in-law."
The Death Legion's general hesitated for a moment, but he still quickly reported this matter to Commander Li Dazui.
If it was someone else, they could stop them. However, since the commander's grandfather was here, they didn't dare to make a decision.
After hearing the report, Li Dazui walked towards Old Master Su and said casually, "Old Master Su, I'm sorry. The Yang Family has been sealed off. Please come back in two days."
"Impudent! How dare you speak to my father like that? Your family's patriarch is my father's good son-in-law. What is the meaning of this?" Su Mingbo reprimanded with the authority of an official.
Li Dazui giggled. "We're just following orders."
"Go back and report to him. My brother-in-law, Yang Zhennan, will definitely come out to welcome us," Su Mingbo said sternly.
"I can't do that!" Li Dazui replied with a smile.
He looked like a fool, but he wasn't. The Su Family didn't receive any visitors one after another, which proved that their relationship with the Yang Family wasn't good. If they were, he would've received instructions from Yang Wu to let the Su Family pass. But since Yang Wu didn't say anything, he could only carry out his orders.
"Are you playing dumb? Do you believe that I'll get my brother-in-law to punish you severely?" Su Mingbo said loudly again.
Old Master Su waved his hand to stop Su Mingbo from speaking. He smiled at Li Dazui and said, "You guys should be soldiers, right?"
Li Dazui nodded. "Yes, we're the Death Legion."
"Not bad. You guys are able to carry out orders strictly. With good soldiers like you guys, Great Xia's borders will be secure." Old Master Su sighed. He paused for a moment and continued, "Today, you're a guard of the Yang Family. You've done a good job. When I see my son-in-law, I'll definitely praise you and get him to give you a promotion and salary."
"Thank you, Old Master Su."
"Okay, you can go and report to him then."
"No," Li Dazui said firmly.
Old Master Su's face didn't look too good. He originally thought that he could persuade this guard to listen to him with a few pleasant words, but the other party was stubborn.
At this moment, the surrounding people started to mock and ridicule in low voices.
"The Su Family is really thick-skinned. A year ago, when the Yang Family got into trouble, they were busy cutting ties with them. Now, they're trying to curry favor with their relatives. Even this Old Master has stepped in. Don't they feel ashamed?"
"Isn't that so? Previously, the Yang Family was so miserable. Their entire family was raided. Luckily, they survived and are even more glorious now. The Su Family is definitely regretting it. "
"The Su Family has already announced that they're severing ties with the Yang Family. What are they trying to do now?"
"Keep your voice down. Maybe the Yang Family will be merciful and forgive them."
…
Old Master Su was old, but his hearing hadn't deteriorated. He could hear these sarcastic remarks and his old face felt hot. Luckily, he had been an official for many years and was rather good at maintaining his composure. He still didn't get angry. Su Mingbo couldn't take it anymore. He shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Madam Yang is my sister and the mother of the Celestial Master Marquis. Our blood ties are the closest. Even if there's some unhappiness, it can be resolved quickly. If you continue to spout nonsense, don't even think about entering the Yang Family."
After he said that, the others shut up. However, their faces were filled with disdain.
Suddenly, an old laughter rang out in the Yang Residence. "Haha, I, Yang Zhennan, have finally regained the strength of a King."
At the same time, an extremely powerful aura swept across the Yang Residence like a storm. This was the aura of a top-tier King.
Yang Zhennan released a pair of blue profound wings and soared into the sky. There was a blue glow surrounding his body, making him look extremely dazzling.
The Death Legion immediately knelt down on one knee and said in unison, "Congratulations, my lord!"
They all respected Yang Wu. Yang Zhennan was also Yang Wu's father and the head of the Yang Family. They had to give him enough respect.
The people outside the Yang Residence were all dumbfounded as they stared at the figure in the sky. After a while, when they came back to their senses, the figure had already disappeared into the Yang Residence.
In the next moment, there was an uproar.
"Count Zhennan's strength seems to have become even more powerful."
"I've long heard that Count Zhennan's strength had already entered the Earth Sea Realm. Later on, he was harmed by a traitor and his cultivation fell. Now, it seems that not only has he recovered, but he has also become even more powerful."
"This must be due to Marquis Shaowu's powerful alchemy skills. He really makes others envious."
"This time, the Yang Family has truly risen again. They can stand shoulder to shoulder with any Great Clan or even surpass them."
…
"Father, brother-in-law's strength has recovered." Su Houran excitedly said to Grandfather Su.
Grandfather Su revealed a gratified expression and said, "That's right. It's good that he has recovered. Let's go back."
After seeing Yang Zhennan return to the Earth Sea Realm, Grandfather Su felt even more ashamed to see his son-in-law.
"Father, what's the rush? Brother-in-law just came out of seclusion. Let's call him out to welcome us." How could Su Mingbo be willing to leave? After saying this, he shouted, "Brother-in-law, quickly come out. Grandfather Su, Big Brother, and I have come to see you."
The members of the Death Legion couldn't stop him from shouting. They could only go along with him.
"Let's go!" Grandfather Su flung his sleeves and turned to leave. He didn't care about Su Mingbo.
Su Mingbo couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. Grandfather Su boarded the carriage and Su Houran followed. Su Mingbo also said, "Father, even if you don't think for me, you have to think for the Su Family. How can you go back like this?"
"I'm going back because I don't want to lose face anymore." Grandfather Su said.
"What's there to lose face about a father-in-law coming to see his son-in-law? Don't bother with what those people are saying. They're just jealous."
"I don't care what those people think of me. I just feel that my decision back then was ridiculously wrong. I don't have the face to see your brother-in-law and sister."
"We're all family. What's the big deal? It's all in the past."
"I've only understood the fickleness of human nature after living for a long time. If you want to stay, then stay."
…
After the Su Family left, Yang Zhennan appeared at the door with Su Roumei.
Su Roumei asked the general of the Death Legion, "Where's my father and brother?"
"Replying to Madam, they just left." The general of the Death Legion replied.
"Why did you let them leave?" Su Roumei said somewhat sadly.
Li Dazui walked over and took the initiative to apologize, "Master, Madam, I made the decision not to report to you. Please punish me."
Yang Zhennan waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. You can leave." He then said to Su Roumei, "If you miss them, then go back and see them."
Su Roumei looked at Yang Zhennan and said, "Can I really?"
When they were imprisoned, the Su Family announced that they were severing ties with them. At that time, her heart was broken.
They were all family, and blood was thicker than water. However, they were so heartless, which made her feel despair.
Last time, her big brother Su Houran and sister-in-law came together. She still couldn't let go of the blood relationship and met them.
However, this matter still depended on her husband's opinion. After all, her family wasn't kind in the first place. She couldn't blame her husband for not remembering their old relationship.
"A year ago, they really made people bitterly disappointed. They only wanted to protect themselves. Even if they stood out to plead for us, I'm afraid the Su Family would have been removed from the capital. Now, I still feel uncomfortable. It's not something I can let go of in a short period of time." Yang Zhennan said frankly. He then added, "No matter what they do, I only care about whether you're happy or not."
Su Roumei was so moved that she wanted to cry. She threw herself into Yang Zhennan's arms and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Not only did she have a pair of filial and sensible sons, even her husband was so considerate. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
"Let's go back first. This family should be left to Wu 'er to take care of. I need to consolidate my newly recovered strength." Yang Zhennan pulled his wife's hand and returned to the courtyard.
Su Roumei followed and said, "When Wu 'er comes out of seclusion, I will have a good discussion with him. I feel that we are all family. Let bygones be bygones. What do you think?"
"Everything is up to you."
