Chapter 99: Master and Disciple Clash [2]

Tonight, many things happened in the Su Garden.

Su Hanxue honestly confessed everything he had done. Only after Su Yinxuan’s accident did Su Hanxue understand the true meaning of reaping what one sows.

He voluntarily resigned from all positions in the Su family’s enterprises and even considered leaving the family altogether. But with Steward Mo’s persuasion, Su Wu decided to keep him around.

Though Su Hanxue had a questionable past, no one could replace his abilities or his standing within the Su family. If he left, it might mean falling completely into Zhao Kunpeng’s trap.

Bright sunlight streamed over the garden of the Su estate. As usual, Su Wu rose early and came downstairs to practice Tai Chi. After observing Yan Yu’s Tai Chi, Su Wu seemed to have gained some new insights.

Shangguan Xin appeared midway, watching Su Wu practice. When he finished, Shangguan Xin clapped and said, “Old Master Su, you’re growing more vigorous with age, and your Tai Chi is becoming increasingly refined.”

“Heh, Xin’er, don’t make fun of this old man!” Su Wu shook his head, chuckling wryly. “What I know is just a little gleaned from Yan Yu.”

Shangguan Xin approached him with a smile. “Old Master Su, you must have guessed little Yu’s true identity by now, haven’t you?”

“Oh? What identity?” Su Wu feigned ignorance.

Shangguan Xin rolled her eyes at the old man. If he hadn’t guessed Yan Yu’s identity, why would he have publicly announced Yan Yu’s connection with Su Han at the birthday banquet yesterday? It was as if he was eager to become Yan Yu’s in-law, afraid Yan Yu would slip away.

“Are you still pretending?”

Su Wu’s face flushed red as he chuckled, “On Mount Emei, there are many nunneries, but only one called Siku Nunnery is different. Legend has it that it was founded by a master nun and has taken only four disciples over the years — all of whom are top-tier talents in all of China…”

“One of them,” Su Wu’s eyes gleamed, “is the younger sister of your Shangguan family head, Shangguan Ling. Twenty years ago, she was a nationwide superstar, the public’s beloved darling. Though she later retired from the spotlight and founded Lingge Entertainment in Hong Kong, half the current top stars were nurtured by Lingge. Even the most famous entertainers in the country call her ‘Sister Ling.’”

Shangguan Xin smiled. “I didn’t expect Auntie to have been retired on Mount Emei for so many years, yet Old Master Su remembers so clearly.”

“Ahem… I was a fan once,” Su Wu coughed lightly.

“Since Old Master Su knows little Yu’s identity, I, as his sister, won’t say much. Little Yu and Su Han have no connection yet. I hope Old Master Su won’t rush things. Young people’s matters are best handled by themselves.”

“Understood, understood! Haha!”

Su Wu was overjoyed. He never imagined that after his granddaughter’s trip to Rong City, she would bring home such a golden phoenix. If the two of them truly became a couple, the Su family would surely soar to new heights.

At that moment, Steward Mo’s voice came through: “Master, Miss Shangguan, Mr. Yan has woken up!”

They exchanged a glance and hurried to Yan Yu’s room.

...

When Yan Yu woke, his body felt fine except for a burning pain in his eyes.

He got out of bed and looked in the mirror, shocked by the sight of heavy dark circles under his eyes. “What’s going on? Why do I have such severe panda eyes? It looks like I got beaten up!”

Suddenly recalling the events of last night, he glanced at his hands. Seeing them intact, he sighed in relief. “Good, good. Su Han didn’t actually chop off my hands.”

But how to explain these panda eyes?

Su Han suddenly walked into the room and, seeing Yan Yu staring at his bruised eyes, couldn’t help but chuckle behind his hand. “How do you feel now?”

“A bit weak, but no major issues. By the way, can you explain these panda eyes?” Yan Yu pointed at his face.

“After you fainted yesterday, your Yin-Yang arms couldn’t stand you, so they punched you twice. That’s why you look like this,” Su Han said with a smile.

Yan Yu looked at him suspiciously. Somehow, he felt Su Han was lying.

But it was possible that the Yin-Yang arms were jealous of his handsome face and took revenge. Yan Yu nodded seriously.

Su Han poured Yan Yu a glass of water. Sitting on the sofa, Yan Yu asked puzzled, “What happened after that? Did my Kirin Arm return on its own?”

“You brat, I saved you!”

Yan Yu looked toward the door, then—

“Pfft!”

He sprayed water all over.

Lin Xuan laughed and scolded, “Brat, is that how a disciple greets his master?”

Behind Lin Xuan were Shangguan Xin, Su Wu, and others.

“Yes… that’s not how a disciple greets his master…”

Yan Yu silently placed the cup on the coffee table, then jumped up and grabbed Lin Xuan’s neck. “You old immortal, what about the five thousand yuan you owe me from last time?!”

“Cough, cough… calm down. It’s just five thousand yuan.”

“How dare you say that! Just five thousand? Did you have to leave me alone in the casino and disappear for months? If it weren’t for Second Madam finding me, who knows which hellhole I’d be mining in right now!”

Lin Xuan wiped the sweat from his brow, looking unbothered. “Good disciple, you know your master treats money like dirt. I donated it all to women in trouble. I came rushing over because I knew you’d be in trouble!”

“Well…”

Yan Yu nodded, then squeezed harder. “Is that your excuse for not paying me back? Pay up!”

“Damn brat, giving you face and you still act like this. Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!”

“Come on, who’s afraid of who!” Yan Yu started stretching.

Just as the two were about to fight, Su Wu and Shangguan Xin hurried to pull them apart, and they finally relented.

Su Wu sighed, “You two have been great benefactors to the Su family. Don’t let a little money come between you. I’ll help pay it off…”

Upon hearing someone would help pay, Lin Xuan’s face lit up, and Yan Yu stopped fussing. Though they hadn’t fought, the master and disciple continued their bickering.

“Old immortal, where have you been these past few months?”

“None of your business. I’ve been wandering the world, a mysterious figure rarely seen—true master style!”

“Master my foot. I bet you’ve been chasing women. You’ll never win over my Second Madam with that attitude!”

“Speaking of chasing women, I don’t get it. Su Han has Yin-Yang eyes and can see through ghosts. How come he can’t see through you, brat?”

Lin Xuan’s words stunned Su Han and Yan Yu, who both asked in unison, “Old immortal (Senior Lin), how do you know about the Yin-Yang eyes?”
