Chapter 558 - 557 Zhao Wunian’s Conspiracy
Zhao Wunian was overjoyed and laughed, "Su Brothers, please come this way. We’ll only start climbing the mountain in the afternoon, so let’s have a couple of drinks together at noon!"
"Sure!" Su Yang followed with a faint smile as Zhao Wunian led the way, with the girl behind him wearing a look of disdain and pouting as she walked.
Along the way, Zhao Wunian was trying both overtly and covertly to pry information from Su Yang’s mouth, as it seemed he was keen on ascertaining Su Yang’s identity.
Su Yang had been on guard against Zhao Wunian from the beginning, so he did not tell the truth. Instead, he concocted some lies, claiming he was from the Hu Martial Arts School.
The Hu Martial Arts School was indeed the one owned by the Hu family before, and its master was also considered a local expert. Since it was close to Pingbei Province, its reputation was quite prominent there.
Zhao Wunian did recognize the Hu Martial Arts School, and when Su Yang detailed his descriptions of Hu Shao, it didn’t seem fabricated, which allayed Zhao Wunian’s suspicions. However, the regard in which he held Su Yang had visibly lessened. After all, even his own abilities were not inferior to those of Hu Shao’s father!
Upon reaching the place where Hu Shao was staying, Su Yang found not only he had been invited, but also another dozen people. These individuals didn’t seem like the benign type. A few of them had such ferocious appearances that they instilled fear at a glance.
"Gentlemen, let me introduce you, this is Brother Su from the Hu Martial Arts School in Pingnan Province," Zhao Wunian said with a smile. "This time, he will join us in our mountain expedition. Along the way, let’s look out for each other!"
Everyone glanced at Su Yang sideways—their lack of concern was evident at the mention of his affiliation with the Hu Martial Arts School. Among those present, who would take the Hu Martial Arts School seriously?
