Chapter 12: Road Blocked Ahead

Outside the Juxian Tower,

Wen Lingxue's classmates hurriedly left.

Before leaving, many of them couldn't help but take an extra look at Su Yi.

Who would have expected that when faced with Huang Qianjun's aggressive approach, Nie Ting, whom they had pinned high hopes on, could only yield, while Su Yi, the guy they had looked down upon, brought them such a big surprise?

"Su Yi, I will repay this favor!" After hesitating for a moment, Nie Ting left with these words.

This attention-seeking young man, after experiencing this incident, clearly felt somewhat dejected.

"This guy is not bad." Su Yi smiled. Returning a favor is a virtue in itself.

"Brother-in-law, about what happened just now..."

Wen Lingxue opened her mouth to speak.

"Let's go home first." Su Yi smiled and interrupted, taking a step forward.

"Alright." Wen Lingxue forced down her worries and hurriedly followed.

"Lingxue, after today's incident, there will be two possibilities." As they were about to reach the Wen family, Su Yi pondered and spoke gently, "First, Huang Qianjun will go home and seek help. Second, he chooses to swallow his pride."

Wen Lingxue anxiously asked, "Given his spoiled nature, how could he possibly swallow his pride after suffering such a big loss today? He will definitely seek revenge!"

Su Yi nodded and said, "You're right, but even if he seeks revenge, he will only come after me, and that's fine."

Wen Lingxue became even more worried. She took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Brother-in-law, today's incident was caused by me. I cannot let you be harmed!"

A resolute expression appeared on the delicate and beautiful face of the young girl.

"Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think." Su Yi smiled and ruffled the girl's hair.

Wen Lingxue absentmindedly responded with an "Mm" and said, "Brother-in-law, I... I'll go back first."

Saying that, she turned around and hurriedly rushed into the Wen family mansion.

Su Yi shook his head helplessly. "Silly girl, even if you ask your parents for help, they won't pay any attention."

Immediately, he smiled again. Being cared for and worried about by others was naturally a good thing.

As for what happened at the Juxian Tower today, it was simply not worth mentioning to Su Yi.

...

"What? That freeloader Su Yi actually beat up Huang Qianjun?"

In the hall, after hearing the whole story from Wen Lingxue, Qin Qing couldn't sit still, her face full of astonishment.

Wen Changtai next to her could hardly believe his ears.

Huang Qianjun.

He was the legitimate son of Huang Yunchong, the head of the Huang family!

"If it weren't for my brother-in-law today, I would have been miserably bullied by Huang Qianjun. He even said he would come to propose in a few days and after marrying me, he would teach me a lesson!"

Wen Lingxue's eyes were teary as she complained with grievance, "Mother, no matter what, you have to help my brother-in-law!"

Qin Qing was furious, gritting her teeth and saying, "I've heard that Huang Qianjun, this debauched scoundrel, has no moral principles and does all sorts of evil things, but I never expected him to target my daughter!"

"But..." Qin Qing furrowed her brow, "With my abilities, it's not easy to resolve this matter... It's all your useless father's fault!"

She glared fiercely at Wen Changtai.

Wen Changtai forced a bitter smile and grumbled, "The incident was caused by Su Yi. What does it have to do with me?"

Wen Lingxue anxiously said, "Mother, if you don't handle this matter, I'll write to my sister for help. She's a disciple of the Tianyuan Academy now..."

Qin Qing slapped her thigh, her eyes brightening. "That's right, your sister's status and position are different now!"

She had an idea and immediately stood up, saying, "I will go find the patriarch. Based on the face of Lingzhao, I don't believe the patriarch won't handle this matter."

Wen Lingxue immediately smiled and happily said, "Mother, go quickly!"

"Silly girl, I'm helping you, and by the way, helping that freeloader Su Yi," Qin Qing said in an annoyed tone.

"It's all the same," Wen Lingxue smiled brightly.

...

In the ancestral hall.

"This useless Su Yi... can actually beat Huang Qianjun and his guards?"

Upon learning of Qin Qing's purpose, Clan Chief Wen Changjing was also stunned, feeling that it was somewhat unreal.

"Uh..."

Qin Qing froze. That's right, Su Yi, this freeloader, doesn't have any cultivation now!

"Clan Chief, regardless of the circumstances, Lingxue was bullied by Huang Qianjun. If he seeks revenge, our Wen family can't just sit idly by."

Qin Qing's face was filled with worry. "When Lingzhao married Su Yi, it made me contemplate suicide. If anything happens to Lingxue again, I... I can't go on living!"

As she spoke, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Wen Changjing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Of course, I have to intervene in this matter. After all, Lingxue is our Wen family member. How can we let her be bullied by the Huang family?"

Qin Qing immediately felt grateful and said, "With the Clan Chief's words, I can rest assured!"

Wen Changjing shook his head, his expression cold. "Don't get too happy. I said I would protect Lingxue, but I didn't say I would protect Su Yi. Regardless of the reason, he caused this incident, and he should bear the consequences."

Qin Qing's heart sank, and she hesitated. "Clan Chief, if it weren't for Su Yi's intervention this time, Lingxue would have been miserably bullied. You see..."

Wen Changjing coldly interrupted, "Sister, I remember that you used to detest this son-in-law the most. Why are you speaking up for him now?"
