Chapter 152: Going back to Your Place or Mine?_1
Su Chengyu grabbed Xu Nanzhi’s hand and tightly held onto it.
"No! Are you worried about your illness? I will cure you. I conveniently have some free time today, and after one final treatment, you should largely be recovered."
But Xu Nanzhi shook her head and said, "What I’m worried about is you, always you."
"What do I have to worry about? Didn’t you see it today? I took on two by myself, quite impressive, right? Now in Linjiang, except for Ren Qianzhong and the second ranked Fan Qian, I don’t think anyone else is my match."
Su Chengyu purposely said this. He didn’t want Xu Nanzhi to worry about him.
But Xu Nanzhi is a smart woman. Her fingers interlocked with Su Chengyu’s as she spoke, "What I’m worried about is precisely Ren Qianzhong. You won today, but you showed immense potential, enough to already make Hong Zhen Ting wary. He won’t allow someone like you, not under his control, to live and threaten him."
"Are you suggesting that Hong Zhen Ting is going to make a move on me?"
Su Chengyu was deliberately playing dumb. He was well aware of the situation. Before the duel, he had thought about all possible outcomes, good and bad.
Hong Zhen Ting has been dominating Linjiang for many years and will not tolerate him. The more he rises to fame, the more Hong Zhen Ting will corner him.
"He will definitely instruct Ren Qianzhong to kill you." Xu Nanzhi nodded in agreement.
"Then let them come. Even if I can’t beat Ren Qianzhong, can’t I run away? It won’t be that easy to kill me."
