The best friend, with tears and snot, said in a trembling voice, "Brother Yong, Lan has been... taken by Young Master Zhou..."


    "Young Master Zhou?" Wang Yong was shocked, "Which Young Master Zhou?"


    "The eldest young master of the Zhou Family..." the best friend said softly, "Haven''t you heard? The notorious yboy of the Zhou Family, the particrly lustful one!"


    "Is it him!?" Wang Yong panicked and urgently asked, "Why did he take Lan?"


    "Sister Lan is so pretty, and, well... Young Master Zhou has recently taken a particr liking to mature types, so he set his sights on Sister Lan..." the best friend said with a tremor in her voice.


    Wang Yong was almost going crazy; he''d heard plenty about this Young Master Zhou''s exploits. His wife falling into his hands, what hope of survival was there? Or should he really believe what Su Yang said about suffering humiliation until death!


    Seeing Wang Yong''s silence, the best friend thought he was intimidated by Young Master Zhou and quickly stepped back a bit, saying with a quiver, "Brother Yong, you know Young Master Zhou''s reputation. He... his family is wealthy and powerful. How can we contend with him? He intimidated us into not spreading the word, and we really dare not do anything. Brother Yong, we are really not deceiving you, it''s truly out of our hands..."


    Wang Yong stood there dumbfounded,pletely at a loss for what to do.


    At this moment, Su Yang''s voice sounded in his ear again, "Cut her!"


    Wang Yong was taken aback and looked at Su Yang in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.


    "She didn''t tell you the truth, cut her!" Su Yang said calmly.


    Wang Yong didn''t know why Su Yang was so confident, but for some reason, he trusted Su Yang very much. So, without any hesitation, he turned and pointed at the best friend in anger, "You slut, you dare lie to me, I''ll cut you to death!"


    After the experience just now, Wang Yong had be much more ruthless; he brandished a kitchen knife and chopped down.


    The best friend''s leg was shed, causing her to howl in agony, crawling backward while trembling, "Brother Yong, I didn''t lie to you, I really didn''t lie to you..."


    Wang Yong didn''t waste any words, he fiercely pursued with the kitchen knife, now deeply unhinged.


    The best friend was genuinely frightened by Wang Yong. Seeing him approaching again, she quickly said in a trembling voice, "Brother Yong, don''t cut, I''ll tell, I''ll tell. It wasn''t... it wasn''t Young Master Zhou who took her, it was... it was his subordinates..."


    Wang Yong looked at Su Yang, and seeing Su Yang remained silent, he once more brandished the kitchen knife and charged, "You''re still lying to me!"


    The best friend was dumbfounded, she truly didn''t understand how Wang Yong knew she was still lying.


    Seeing the kitchen knife about to descend again, the best friend hurriedly said, "Brother Yong, I''ll... I''ll tell, it wasn''t... it wasn''t them who took her, we... we took Sister Lan there and gave... gave her to them..."


    Wang Yong was stunned, how could it be like this? He turned to look at Su Yang, and Su Yang nodded, indicating that this time the best friend was telling the truth.


    Wang Yong was on the verge of copse; he never imagined it would turn out like this.


    "Why! Why! Why!" Wang Yong roared, "What did we ever do to you, why... why did you do this to us?"


    The best friend covered the wound on her leg, saying in a trembling voice, "Brother Yong, we... we didn''t mean to. Young Master Zhou... Young Master Zhou recently has a fondness for women who are still nursing, and since Sister Lan is so beautiful... we took her there, and they... they gave us one hundred thousand. Brother Yong, Young Master Zhou is very generous. As long as Sister Lan cooperates, for one night... one night he can give a million, which... which even stars don''t get, it''s very worth it..."


    "Screw your worth!" Wang Yong kicked the best friend in the face, then rushed forward and punched her face several times, leaving her with a bloody nose and a swollen face.


    After venting his anger, Wang Yong copsed to the ground, silent for a while before holding his head and bawling.


    With his wife taken by those under Young Master Zhou, how could he possibly hope to rescue her!


    Su Yang, holding the child, walked to his side and said softly, "As a man, when your wife is taken, you don''t think of ways to rescue her, but instead cry here? Do you have any sense of dignity?"


    Wang Yong looked up, eyes filled with tears as he gazed at Su Yang, saying tremulously, "Brother, it''s not that I don''t want to save my wife, it''s just... there''s truly no way. The Zhou Family is so powerful, what can I do even if I go? Just to die for nothing!"


    "Then will you just cry here instead of rescuing her?" Su Yang retorted.


    Wang Yong was stunned, Su Yang''s words hit him right in the heart. Indeed, am I just going to cry here?


    After a moment of silence, Wang Yong looked at the child in Su Yang''s arms, but his expression was hesitant.


    "I''ll take care of him for you!" Su Yang said softly, "If you don''t fight this time, you''ll live in pain and guilt for the rest of your life!"


    These words invigorated Wang Yong, he stood up, stared at Su Yang for a while, and suddenly knelt down with a thud.


    "Brother, if I really die, help take my son out of this city. If possible, help raise him. If not, find a good family to settle him. If there''s a next life, I''ll surely repay you as a bull or a horse!" Wang Yong said loudly.


    Su Yang nodded slowly, from Wang Yong''s words, he could hear Wang Yong''s despair towards this city.


    However, he didn''t know that during the time the Northern territories were governed by the four Major Sects, any city was like this.


    Having gone through these events, Su Yang began to regret his decision. He shouldn''t have hidden away, as his hiding led to this headless state of the world, allowing the four Major Sects to quickly gain control and plunging ordinary people into such a life.


    Before those from Qinghe Academy left, the dean had told him to lead Qinghe Academy, essentially entrusting the world''s ordinary people to him. He was to undertake Qinghe Academy''s former responsibility to protect all ordinary people in the world from the oppression of those so-called Land Immortals.


    And now, Su Yang had failed to protect the people, leaving him filled with guilt, feeling he had let down the dean''s trust!


    Therefore, in that moment, Su Yang decided. Next, he would face off against the four Major Sects, and even the paradise in the south, till the end.


    Those people don''t treat the ordinary people of Huaxia as human, but Su Yang couldn''t ept that; he wanted everyone to know that Su Yang was not dead, and neither could those so-called Land Immortals dictate the Human World!
