The banquet proceeded as usual.
Zhang Su was invited to the main table, where he sat with his elder brother and a group of prominent figures from the prefectural city.
Although Zhang Su was a man of few words, his elder brother Zhang Chen was eloquent and sociable.
Moreover, perhaps it was only Zhang Su's imagination, but he noticed that his elder brother seemed to be standing a little straighter than before.
By the afternoon, Zhang Chen was already quite drunk.
But he was extremely happy.

"Second Brother, hahaha! My second brother is a martial arts genius..."
When his sister-in-law saw Zhang Chen like this, she did not blame him. Instead, she could not help smiling.

She looked at Zhang Su and said with a smile, "Second Brother, look at your elder brother. He's genuinely happy. He almost never drinks normally, yet today he's had so much..."
Zhang Su nodded.
He could also tell that his elder brother was truly happy from the bottom of his heart.
Just then, a sudden commotion came from outside.
Web̆n̈ о v̊ е̌ ľ Ё n ú m.а̊
And the noise grew louder and louder.
Su Zhenzhen frowned.
"Xiaocui, go see what's happening outside."
"Yes, Young Madam."

Thus, Xiaocui quickly headed outside.
The noise outside did not lessen.
En̊ümа̄ .i̇d
There were even occasional cries of surprise mixed in.
Zhang Su's senses were sharp.
But the noise was too chaotic.
He could only vaguely make out words like "escort agency" and "corpses."
Before long, Xiaocui hurried back.
She still looked extremely excited.

"Young Madam, son-in-law, the people from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency are back..."
"And the Zhenyuan Escort Agency's carts are carrying dozens of corpses. The sight is truly frightening. I asked around, and those corpses supposedly belong to bandits from Flying Sky Ridge. They were extremely vicious and had quite a reputation in the martial world..."
As Xiaocui explained the details, everyone learned what had happened.
"What? Bandits from Flying Sky Ridge?"
Zhang Chen, who had been somewhat drunk, seemed to sober up immediately when he heard the words "Flying Sky Ridge."
He hurriedly asked, "What about the cargo? What happened to the cargo the escort agency was transporting?"
Е̇ n ǔ m̂ а.і̃ d
Xiaocui thought carefully. "The cargo doesn't seem to have suffered any losses. Everyone is saying that Chief Escort Li's martial arts are extremely powerful. Apparently, he even killed the chief of Flying Sky Ridge..."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zhang Su's expression became somewhat strange.
Li He killed He Xiongfei?
The Zhenyuan Escort Agency wiped out Flying Sky Ridge?
Still, Zhang Su had already handed the corpses of the Flying Sky Ridge bandits over to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
W̆ӗ b̀n̂ о v̇еl̂ .Ē_n_ū ṁа̀
They had also given him two thousand taels of silver.
So however the Zhenyuan Escort Agency chose to publicize the matter had nothing to do with him.
Besides, empty fame was of no use to Zhang Su anyway.
Thus, Zhang Su sat quietly without saying anything.

But Zhang Chen could no longer sit still.
The shipment escorted by the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was simply too important.
Е n̆ûm̀ â . і d
"No, I have to go take a look."
Zhang Chen immediately stood up.
Su Zhenzhen hurriedly stopped him and said softly, "Husband, don't be so anxious. Chief Escort Li still has to go to the government office to deal with those corpses. In any case, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency will definitely deliver the cargo to the Su Family."
"Let's wait a little longer. Today is a joyous occasion. It's better not to go looking at corpses. It's inauspicious."
Zhang Chen thought about it carefully and realized she was right.
Those blood-soaked corpses were indeed inauspicious.

Besides, since the Zhenyuan Escort Agency had returned so openly and prominently, the cargo was most likely safe.
That put his mind at ease.
"All right. Then we'll wait for Chief Escort Li to personally come to the Su Family. By then, we'll naturally know the details."
Zhang Chen was fully sober now.
The batch of important cargo had also been safely escorted back by the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
He felt incomparably relieved.
W̊еb̀n оvél Ë nüm̄ а̌
However, while Zhang Chen did not go to look, others wanted to join the excitement.
After those people returned, they began discussing what they had seen.

"I personally saw the Zhenyuan Escort Agency escorting dozens of corpses to the government office. Tsk, tsk. That scene was truly terrifying."
"That's right, I saw it too. Supposedly, the bandit chief was some 'Flying Heaven Saber' named He Xiongfei. He was incredibly burly, and the saber he used was extremely heavy, probably weighing several dozen jin. It looked like a door panel. One glance was enough to tell he was no ordinary martial artist."
"Heh, even such a powerful martial artist was killed by Chief Escort Li. Chief Escort Li of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency truly remains vigorous despite his age. His prowess hasn't diminished at all."
"More than that, he's even stronger than he was in his prime! I've heard of He Xiongfei, the chief of Flying Sky Ridge. He had a considerable reputation in the martial world. Supposedly, aside from Inner Force experts, no one could do anything to him. Yet Chief Escort Li actually killed him. Tsk, tsk, truly remarkable."
En̈ ü m̈ а . і d
"Looks like Chief Escort Li has been hiding his true abilities. In the future, my Zhao Family Trading Company should also consider hiring the Zhenyuan Escort Agency..."
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere.
The corner of Zhang Su's mouth twitched as he listened.
He had not seen Li He of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency yet.

But he could already imagine how triumphant Li He must be feeling right now.
He probably thought those two thousand taels of silver had been money well spent!
Ẃе ḃn ov̈ е̌l̊ E̊nu ḿ а
Zhang Su had not overcharged him by even a single tael!
Time gradually passed until evening.
The banquet had already ended.
The guests left the Su Family one after another.
Zhang Chen, his sister-in-law, and the people of the Third Branch were all waiting in the council hall.
Zhang Su had also been dragged over.

Although Zhang Su was technically an "outsider," no one in the Su Family dared object anymore.
Before long, the people from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency arrived.
They were also escorting carriage after carriage.
All of them were loaded with the Su Family's goods.
Li He looked radiant, striding forward with great vigor.
He walked straight into the Su Family's council hall.
Ёn̂um̆а́. і̄ d
Li He had just opened his mouth to speak.
Then he spotted Zhang Su at a glance.

The smile on his face immediately stiffened.
Zhang Su asked meaningfully, "Chief Escort Li, were those two thousand taels of silver worth it? I didn't overcharge you by even one tael, did I?"
Li He hurriedly nodded. "Worth it. Absolutely worth it! Forget two thousand taels, even three thousand or five thousand would have been worth it!"
Everyone in the council hall was completely confused.
Е n úm а
They had no idea what was going on.
"Second Brother, you know Chief Escort Li?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"Chief Escort Li and I met once along the road."

Zhang Su's words immediately made Li He understand that Zhang Su had apparently never explained the matter of the Flying Sky Ridge bandits to the Su Family.
However, just because Zhang Su would not say it did not mean Li He would remain silent.
Е n.u m а
Zhang Su's silence was giving him face.
Thus, Li He took a deep breath and bowed toward Zhang Su. "I must thank Second Young Master for saving the Zhenyuan Escort Agency!"
Everyone became even more confused.
At that moment, Li He explained, "Everyone, in truth, the bandits of Flying Sky Ridge were not killed by me, nor did their deaths have anything to do with the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. They were killed by... Second Young Master."
"Those dozens of corpses, including He Xiongfei, the chief of Flying Sky Ridge, were all slain by Second Young Master with a single sword strike to the throat!"
"This old man is ashamed... If Second Young Master had not intervened, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency would probably have been finished..."

Everyone's hearts trembled.
Disbelief appeared across their faces.
Those dozens of vicious bandits had all been killed by Zhang Su?
They already knew Zhang Su was powerful.
Since he could defeat Jiang Cheng with a single sword strike, his strength was obviously extraordinary.
But that had merely been a friendly exchange.
Ê_num̀а̌.. їd̄
Compared with facing dozens of bandits from Flying Sky Ridge, that was hardly worth mentioning.
Yet Zhang Su had single-handedly slaughtered every bandit from Flying Sky Ridge.

The impact of this revelation was simply too great.
"Second Brother, is everything Chief Escort Li said true?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"Yes, it's all true. At the time, I heard the words 'Su Family' and learned that the cargo belonged to the Su Family, so I lent a hand. Unexpectedly, those bandits looked fierce but were useless, so I simply killed them all."
Е n ŭ m̊ а̃
"Afterward, I sold the bandits' corpses to Chief Escort Li and arrived at the Su Family ahead of them."
Zhang Su spoke calmly.
It sounded as though he were merely recounting some utterly ordinary event.
But everyone understood just how dangerous the situation must have been.

One man had killed dozens of vicious bandits.
Among them was even He Xiongfei, a renowned expert of the martial world.
Ё ṅù m̀ а
Just how terrifying did one's strength have to be to accomplish that?
Su Zhenzhen could not help asking, "Second Brother, are you already one of the Top Ten Outer Disciples of the Origin Returning Sect?"
Everyone's hearts jolted.
They did not know much about the Origin Returning Sect.
But they had heard of the Top Ten Outer Disciples.
Those were the strongest figures in the Origin Returning Sect's outer sect.

They were also its greatest geniuses.
Anyone who ranked among the Top Ten Outer Disciples of the Origin Returning Sect was unquestionably an important figure!
Zhang Su shook his head. "I'm not one of the Top Ten Outer Disciples yet."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhang Su had become one of the Top Ten Outer Disciples after only a year in the Origin Returning Sect, that would have been far too shocking.
Zhang Su did not mention that he planned to challenge the Top Ten Outer Disciples as soon as he returned to the mountain.
Е́ nùm̂а
That matter had not been settled yet.
There was little point in talking about it now.

Once he truly became one of the Top Ten Outer Disciples, the Su Family would definitely receive the news.
There was no need to rush.
