Chapter 565 - 564: Is Su Yang Dead?
Zhao Wunian waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you all, but since I’m the one who invited you here, it’s only natural that I should lead the way. However, I wonder which brother is willing to explore the path with me?"
Upon hearing these words, only three people raised their hands to speak; the rest fell into silence. After all, it was dangerous up ahead, and who knew what could happen if they went to scout out the path?
"We’re short on hands," scratched his head, Zhao Wunian suddenly turned to Su Yang beside him and smiled, "Brother Su, could you please accompany us in the lead to scout the path?"
Su Yang sneered inwardly. He knew perfectly well that Zhao Wunian’s so-called scouting was nothing but a deliberate attempt to target him. He wanted to put Su Yang at the very front so that if Feng Wenchuan and the others launched an ambush, Zhao Wunian would surely be the first to shove Su Yang forward.
"I don’t really want to be in front," Su Yang replied with a faint smile.
His words immediately drew disdain from many around them.
"Young Master Zhao is inviting you; he’s showing you favor. What’s the matter with you, refusing an offer like this? You really don’t know when to appreciate a good thing!"
"All talk, yet it’s just the fear of death. Ah, the young people of today, really not as good as the previous generations. If you’re so afraid to die, why did you come to River God Mountain in the first place?"
"Otherwise, why stick around the Zhao Family? You just want their protection to help you get in. Hey, kid, if you’re receiving the Zhao Family’s protection, you should do something in return. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world!"
Amidst the mockery of the crowd, Su Yang maintained his smile as if he heard none of it.
Wang Qian, on the other hand, couldn’t keep his composure and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Zhao, I’ll scout the path ahead with you!"
