Chapter 106 - Disturbance at the Grandwake Clan. (1/2)
Having heard his voice, she ran over in the middle-aged man's direction and yelled at him: ”Papa! I'm here, I'm here!!”
Hearing her voice, Su Ling'er's father comes rushing over and picked her up with tears of joy streaming down his face: ”Ling'er! You're safe! Thank goodness you're safe! I was so worried about you!”
Once the excitement had died down, did Su Ling'er's father approach Mesa, obviously grateful for everything: ”Thank you for rescuing my daughter! I am truly grateful for everything you have done for her!”
”There's no need to thank me. I just did my duty as a human being to in helping out another.” Said Mesa humbly.
”Well, at least let me show my gratitude for everything you've done. By the way, this one's named Su Hengshan.” Said Su Hengshan.
Looking at Xia Qingyue, who was unconscious on Mesa's back, he frowned a little: ”That person on your back, is she alright?”
”Yes, she is alright. She just collapsed due to exhaustion. Just before we ended up here, we went through something exhausting. We just need to find a place to stay the night and rest up.” Said Mesa.
”Well then, you are welcome to stay at our Grandwake Clan. It's the least I can do after what you have done for my daughter.” Said Su Hengshan.
”Thank you very much for the great hospitality than. It would be a pleasure to accept your invitation.” Said Mesa as he followed Su Hengshan back to the Grandwake Clan.
On the way back to the Grandwake Clan, Mesa and Su Hengshan were talking about what happened prior to their meeting. He found out that Su Hengshan was the master of the Grandwake Clan and Su Ling'er was the princess. The Grandwake Clan was without a doubt the number one sect, as well as the biggest power east of the Supwake Country's river. Their status was similar to New Moon City's Xiao Sect's Branch Sect, and they relied on Grandwake Mountain for its incredibly generous amounts of natural resources and minerals.
However, even in the east of the Grandwake River, Grandwake Clan still had enemies: The Blackwood Stronghold!
”To think this has escalated to such degree. This should be just some grudges between rival sects. This was never supposed to happen. This is unforgivable!” Said Su Hengshan angrily thinking back to the attempted kidnapping of his daughter.
”Forgive me for saying this, but this obviously reeks of a conspiracy. You and Su Ling'er just happened to go out for a stroll and you just happened to be ambushed by the Blackwood Stronghold who were planning on kidnapping your daughter. It's clear that somebody has sold you out and is trying to sabotage you.” Said Mesa seriously.
”Sigh!” Su Hengshan sighed: ”I know about all it. It's just that I don't want to suspect anyone on my side.”
”I don't you think you have that luxury anymore. If they have tried to have your daughter kidnapped, then they will obviously not shy away from other, more severe actions. Especially if they hear that their previous attempt has failed.” Said Mesa.
At this time, they had arrived at the Grandwake Clan. Looking at its size, it was far greater than the Xiao Branch Sect Mesa went to when he emptied out their vault.
Walking inside, they were greeted by a young man coming towards them and shouting: ”Father! Ling'er, you're back! I heard rumors that you guys were ambushed by the Blackwood Stronghold. Father, Ling'er, are you all right?”
”No problem, just a bit of a scare. We were thankfully helped by this young man here.” Said Su Hengshan as he introduced Mesa.
”Mesa Uchiha, this is my son, Su Haoran. Haoran, this is Mesa Uchiha. If he didn't save Ling'er, Ling'er might have been captured by those bastards from Blackwood Stronghold. They had traveled from far and need a room to stay for a few days.”
”What! Blackwood Stronghold's people did what?! This is unforgivable!” Said Su Haoran in fury.
Looking over to Mesa, he smiled amicably as he expressed his gratitude for saving his sister: ”Brother Mesa, thank you for saving my sister.”
Walking inside, Mesa with Xia Qingyue on his back were led to their room. Along the way, he noticed Su Haoran stealing glances at her and purposefully but very unnoticeably walk slower, so he could be behind Mesa and look at Xia Qingyue. At those times, Mesa would also walk slower and make sure he was walking behind him at all times. Obviously, he was smitten with her beauty and tried all kinds of ways to get close to her. Every time he looked at her, his eyes would be filled with a l.u.s.tful desire to get her and his fingers would tremble.
When they reached their room, Mesa had put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. From behind, Su Haoran came up and tried to approach Xia Qingyue's bedside: ”This lady is in a coma and isn't waking up. Looks like her injuries aren't light. I just happen to have some medical expertise. Let me examine a bit, then grab some spirit medicine, and she'll be awake in no time.”
