Chapter Thirty, The Whereabouts of the Parents

Seeing Su Yang’s hesitant expression, Li Beiye, who had been staring at him intently, could not help but speak again: "Su Yang, I, Li Beiye, have only one daughter. As long as she can live, I am willing to offer everything I possess. I implore you, young friend, please save her!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yang realized that his previous demeanor had caused a misunderstanding. He quickly waved his hand and said, "City Lord, you have misunderstood. I will certainly help. However, there is one thing I hope you will consider carefully."

"Oh? What is it? Please, speak your mind."

"If my judgment is correct, the Supreme Blood within me can only temporarily suppress the speed at which the yin energy erupts within Shanshan. But once it erupts again... if I am not around, I fear that..."

"I understand what you mean. Alas, to tell you the truth, I have no other options. As long as she can stay alive, I don't care how long it takes. I know you won't stay in Yebai City forever, and although I know it is selfish of me, I still hope you can help. Could you take my daughter with you to the Liang Mansion in Central Province?"

After a moment of hesitation, Li Beiye asked cautiously.

"Central Province... the Liang Mansion?" Su Yang murmured. He had heard of Central Province, but he had never heard of the Liang Mansion.

However, now was not the time to ponder this; he had to thoroughly suppress the extreme yin energy within Li Shanshan first.

Su Yang spoke again: "City Lord, let us discuss other matters later. Let us first stabilize the extreme yin energy in Shanshan."

"Yes, yes, of course! Thank you, young friend."

"I am eternally grateful!" Li Beiye said, appearing extremely excited and relieved.

"Stop dawdling, you two! If you keep dragging this out, the girl is really going to kick the bucket," the Purple Lightning Mad Lion urged from the side.

Ignoring him, Su Yang walked over to Li Shanshan. Looking at her porcelain-doll-like face, he sighed inwardly, wondering how he could have been so blind back then.

Subsequently, Su Yang cut his palm and let his Supreme Blood drip into Li Shanshan’s mouth.

Time ticked away.

Su Yang did not know how much of his Supreme Blood he had shed, but he could clearly feel the extreme yin energy in the room gradually dissipating.

The frost enveloping Li Shanshan’s body was slowly melting, and her deathly pale face began to regain some color.

It seemed the Supreme Blood was indeed effective!

Li Shanshan’s eyelashes suddenly fluttered. Seeing this, Su Yang quickly withdrew his hand and stood to the side, acting as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Li Shanshan slowly opened her eyes, a trace of confusion in her bright pupils.

"Shanshan... are you alright? You’ve finally woken up!" Li Beiye knelt beside the head of the bed, tightly gripping her hand.

"Fa...ther. What... happened to me?" Li Shanshan held her forehead, attempting to sit up.

Li Beiye quickly pressed her back down: "Shanshan, you have just woken up. Do not move around yet."

"It is fine, City Lord. The extreme yin energy in her body has been thoroughly suppressed, and the Supreme Blood is repairing her injuries. There is no need to be so cautious," Su Yang said with a smile.

Upon hearing the voice of a stranger, Li Shanshan noticed a young figure standing behind her father. She looked closely and was stunned.

Seeing Li Shanshan staring at him, Su Yang grinned: "Miss Shanshan, long time no see!"

"You... are you... Su Yang?" Li Shanshan asked, her voice trembling.

"Yes, I am Su Yang."

When the youth before her confirmed his identity, a heavy stone seemed to lift from Li Shanshan’s heart. She almost forgot that she had just walked through the gates of death.

"Thank you... Young Master Su Yang, for saving me," Li Shanshan said after a long silence, her face blushing slightly.

"Haha, Miss Shanshan, you are too kind. I am no longer the Young Master of the Su family; you can just call me Su Yang," Su Yang replied, feeling a bit awkward. Seeing her always reminded him of what happened three years ago, which stirred some complicated feelings.

"However, City Lord, the Supreme Blood in my body cannot suppress it for too long. I hope you can find other methods. No matter what, you must try," Su Yang said, his tone growing serious.

Upon hearing this, Li Beiye stood up and said, "Young friend Su Yang, please step outside."

With that, Li Beiye vanished from the room.

Su Yang glanced at Li Shanshan and then said to the Purple Lightning Mad Lion, "Little brother, I leave her in your care for now."

"Hmph, don't worry. With me, the Mad Lion, here, this girl will be perfectly safe," the Purple Lightning Mad Lion declared with immense arrogance.

In the pavilion of the City Lord’s backyard garden, Li Beiye looked at the pond with a sorrowful expression, while Su Yang stood calmly by his side.

"City Lord, why such sorrow? Surely it is not just because of Shanshan?" Su Yang asked first.

"Indeed, while Shanshan’s situation worries me, I fear your situation is not looking good either."

"Oh? Are you afraid the Wangyue Sect will come after me?"

"The Sect Master of the Wangyue Sect is a woman of her word. Since she gave you time to grow, she will not strike at you in the shadows. It is... others, however, who are unpredictable."

"Su Yang, what are your plans for the future?" Li Beiye asked, shifting the subject.

"Plans... I do not know where my parents are now. If I can discover their location, I wish to find them first..." Su Yang looked at the fish swimming in the pond and said slowly.

"Back then, in order to secure the position of Clan Head, Su Beilou forcibly pressured your father to abdicate and exiled your mother. I was unable to intervene at the time; being a City Lord is often difficult. However, I did keep a watchful eye, sending people to follow your parents until last year, when the trail went cold," Li Beiye recalled.

"You know the whereabouts of my parents?" Su Yang asked urgently.

"Yes, but you must prepare yourself mentally before I tell you. That place is terrifying... I hope you will not act recklessly."

"Tell me, where were they last seen?" Su Yang pressed, even more anxious.

"You Prefecture, You City!" Li Beiye looked at Su Yang and said each word clearly.

Su Yang stood frozen in place for a long time.

"Actually... in You Prefecture, You City..." he murmured.

"How could it be? Why would they go there... that place is..." Su Yang said, unable to believe it.

"Alas, I cannot fathom it either. Given your father’s talent and vision, why would he take your mother to such a harrowing place... but the facts are as they are. I can guarantee that much."

"So, Su Yang, you must consider carefully whether you want to go to You Prefecture to find your parents now, or take my daughter and join the Xuantian Sect instead!"
