In the Forest Prison, Su Yan, Xie Hong Chen, and the rest were still facing off, no one daring to move. This situation had already persisted for an entire thirty minutes. The cold air around Su Yan had grown significantly stronger. If not for the fact that the martial skill that Yang Kai cultivated happened to suppress her Ice Heart Secret Art, he might have long since been frozen into an ice sculpture.
Just as the deadlock continued, a Disciplinary Hall Disciple came rushing over and loudly yelled out: "The Grand Elder has sent out a command, release them!"
"What?" Xie Hong Chen became stupid.
That Disciplinary Hall Disciple continued with a bitter look on his face: "Senior brother Xie, the Elders have said already that today's matters end here and no one is to investigate any further, or you'll be punished according to the School Rules!"
Xie Hong Chen looked at Yang Kai with a venomous gaze. That was because if Su Yan had started to attack, then he could have found an excuse to take out Yang Kai! But Su Yan never gave him that opportunity, and hearing the order from the Elders, he knew that there was no longer any chance for him to take Yang Kai out. Clenching his teeth in grief, Xie Hong Chen bellowed out in rage: "Release them!"
Su Yan continued to support Yang Kai while slowly leading Li Yun Tian and the others outside. Under the complex gaze of Xie Hong Chen, they slowly walked away.
Meanwhile, Yang Kai became widely known among the disciples—especially those involved in the incident and those envious of his connection with Su Yan. In all, there were numerous different rumors regarding him.
The subject of these rumors, Yang Kai, was asleep.
Right after leaving the Forest Prison, Yang Kai immediately went to sleep. When he was ganged up on and beaten by those five Disciplinary Hall Disciples, although they weren't serious, they were still quite harsh. With the situation resolved and no worries in his heart, he finally allowed himself to rest.
When he woke up, Yang Kai found himself in an unknown bed. With his body aching all over, he looked around the room and found himself in an extremely elegant yet simple room without much furniture and in quite a secluded place. It was just like Su Yan's house in Black Wind Trade.
Lying down on the bed, he started to think about the day he came to this world. Every day, in order to get something he needs, he has to endure pain. Every day is very hard to continue working, and he doesn't even get proper sleep. Struggling to get up, the noise that he made alerted the people outside. So not long after, Su Mu pushed open the door with a face full of emotion.
Li Yun Tian and the others were also present, and as Su Mu walked in, they all looked at Yang Kai in relief.
"Senior brother Yang, how do you feel?" Su Mu asked as he walked over to support him.
"I'm fine now." Yang Kai started to work on his Qi and found that there were no real problems; he just needed to rest for a few days.
"This time senior brother saved me, Su Mu, I thank you." Su Mu replied somewhat awkwardly.
"No need to apologize. Don't I promise you whenever you need, I will be there for you?" Yang Kai replied, lifting his hand to stop him.
"Oh right, my family gave me this pill to give to you to help you heal and cultivate better." Su Mu took out ten bottles and placed them side by side on the bedside table.
"The Second Elder?" Yang Kai was amazed.
"It's not much. This time you received heavy injuries, so you should properly rest and heal."
"No need for thanks." Su Mu waved his hand before a wave of fury appeared on his face.
"What about senior sister Su Yan?" Yang Kai turned his head around as he queried.
Su Mu's expression became strange; he had already heard from Li Yun Tian and the others about Yang Kai's feats. He felt both afraid and respectful because from when he was young till now, Su Yan had never felt like an older sister, but more like his own mother. In front of Su Yan, he never dared to take even a single deep breath.
But looking at this senior brother Kai, his courage was beyond large! He actually dared to play lover with his older sister in front of so many people and say such daring words. And afterward, this sister of his did nothing! Not only did she do nothing, she arranged for him to rest in her house. This course of action was simply unbelievable!
During which Yang Kai had been unconscious, Su Mu had racked his brains. But he still couldn't come up with any viable theories. Why? Why would she do this?
"Ai! Senior brother Yang!" Su Mu took in a deep breath and clapped Yang Kai on the back. After a while, carefully considering his wording, he finally said: "Sigh, brother Yang, there are many fish in the sea."
Yang Kai was startled, and it wasn't until a short while later that he managed to let out a laugh. He knew what Su Mu wanted to say. This is very famous in school among boys when they make fun of someone.
"Little brother, if the fish is very beautiful and tender to eat, why don't you try hard to catch it?"
Su Mu couldn't help but admire his senior brother's boldness—few would dare to do what Yang Kai had done, especially when it involved Su Yan. He sighed and said, "After she settled you down here, she left Black Wind Trade." Su Mu answered.
"When senior sister left, did she say anything?" Yang Kai asked, a bit suspicious.
"Nothing." Su Mu slowly shook his head in reply. After saying these words, Su Mu left.
