Taking benefits means doing things; this is an age-old truth.
Yu Daohan nodded and smiled, "My Yanhuo Sect accepts the role of maintaining order. As long as I, Yu Daohan, am here, this martial world will not fall into chaos!"
Wang Ming nodded. The recent assembly had already proven Yu Ye's capability.
With matters settled, Wang Ming looked at Yu Daohan and tentatively asked, "Yu Ye, the compass..."
Before he could finish, Yu Daohan raised his hand to stop him. "I have one more matter to attend to. Until that matter is resolved, I will not accept the compass."
Hearing Yu Daohan say this, Wang Ming could only sigh and let it go.
He understood Yu Daohan's character.
While cunning and never doing a losing business, he wouldn't lie about this matter.
However, Wang Ming was a little puzzled. From Yu Daohan's tone, it seemed he was prepared to die.
Yet, in the entire martial world, there was truly no one his match.
Among the living Black List experts, Yu Daohan might not be invincible, but in a one-on-one situation.
There was truly no one who could defeat him.
Li Tianxiang couldn't, Cui Yiling couldn't, and Meng Dalong certainly couldn't.
Yu Daohan knew exactly what the other was thinking and smiled, "Alright, no need to guess. The place I am going is somewhere in this entire world where no one can guarantee a safe return."
Hearing Yu Daohan say this, Wang Ming became even more curious. "Benefactor Yu, this humble monk is very curious about where you are going?"
Yu Daohan smiled faintly and did not answer. Instead, he turned to leave, leaving behind a single sentence: "I am going to a place I once wanted to go but dared not. Someone very important is waiting for me there."
Watching Yu Daohan's retreating back, a smile appeared on Wang Ming's face. "Perhaps this is the real him."
As for the person he was going to meet, Wang Ming had a guess.
It was likely the one from his shop.
After all, from that day on, the world knew that Yu Daohan's backing had disappeared.
And it was from that day that Yu Daohan embarked on the path to becoming stronger.
The former Yu Daohan was very strong, and no one dared to provoke him because of the master behind his shop.
Now, Yu Daohan was very strong, and no one dared to provoke him because no one could defeat him.
Yu Daohan walked slowly towards the place he had arranged to meet Su Lai, the heavy stone on his heart finally lifted.
Now that everything was ready, it was time to save him.
He had probably been waiting for a long time.
Arriving at the nearby resting area, Yu Daohan immediately spotted Su Lai and Da Hu ahead.
But there was also a familiar face beside them.
It was none other than Zhang Xiaoqiang, the sect leader of Yan Shu Men.
Yu Daohan instinctively stopped, seemingly unwilling to meet Zhang Xiaoqiang.
But it was already too late.
The three also saw Yu Daohan there.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked over, and Yu Daohan also looked at him.
Their eyes met, and there was no emotional fluctuation on their faces. It was unknown what they were thinking.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, who used to be inseparable from foul language, had also kicked the bad habit. The shocking scar on his face was a mark of a seasoned warrior. Beneath a gray trench coat, the scar added a touch of majesty to him.
At this moment, his every move exuded the demeanor of a sect leader.
Yu Daohan was no exception. Three years had transformed him into a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of strength.
The somewhat youthful face of the past had changed completely, the youthful look gone.
His build was not much different from before, but his complexion had become even paler.
Perhaps it was due to absorbing ghost energy.
They simply stared at each other in silence.
Su Lai and Da Hu, standing beside them, didn't know what to say as they watched the two exchange glances.
They had already told both of them that Da Hu and Su Lai would not interfere in their affairs, nor would they stand on any side.
This was perhaps what Yu Daohan and Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to see.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned to Su Lai and Da Hu and smiled, "Since I've delivered the invitation, I'll take my leave now."
Da Hu and Su Lai nodded, and only then did Zhang Xiaoqiang turn and leave.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang had gone far away, Yu Daohan walked forward.
Su Lai looked at Yu Daohan and teased, "Yu Ye, you've got some style today. You've held the fort by yourself, impressive."
Yu Daohan's lips curved upwards, feeling a little smug. "What are you saying? When has your Yu Ye ever faltered?"
He wouldn't question the conversation between Su Lai, Da Hu, and Zhang Xiaoqiang just now, nor was it necessary.
It was enough for him to know that they were his brothers.
Some things didn't need to be asked too much; asking would be meaningless.
Knowing that they wouldn't harm him was enough!
Seeing the invitations in their hands, Yu Daohan couldn't help but ask, "What date is the wedding?"
Su Lai replied, "The seventeenth of this month."
"The seventeenth?"
Yu Daohan frowned. "That's just a week away."
Su Lai and Da Hu nodded.
Yu Daohan fell silent.
Counting the time, it was about time for them to get married.
He remembered saying before that he would be the best man at his wedding and give him a big red envelope, but it seemed there would be no opportunity now.
Su Lai had intended not to mention it, but after thinking about it, he said, "Qiangzi said that Su Qing wants the little girl to attend the wedding, and they had discussed it before."
Da Hu beside him remained silent.
Hearing this, Yu Daohan smiled faintly and said, "Since it was discussed by Su Qing and the little girl, then let the little girl go with them."
Upon hearing Yu Daohan agree, Su Lai and Da Hu looked at him, their expressions turning solemn.
They didn't know how to respond.
Whether to let the little girl go or not.
They couldn't make the decision, nor could they.
Seeing their silence, Yu Daohan knew what they were thinking and smiled, "You don't need to be nervous. My grievances with him have nothing to do with the little girl or Su Qing. Qiang...zi...Zhang Xiaoqiang and I think alike; we don't want to involve our families."
Su Lai retorted, "Yu Ye, are you going?"
Yu Daohan waved his hand, a bitter smile on his face. "What would I go for? It's their joyous occasion; I won't go to spoil everyone's mood."
Su Lai and Da Hu understood the bitterness in Yu Daohan's heart but didn't know what to say.
Su Lai looked at Yu Daohan and guaranteed, "Yu Ye, rest assured, with me here, the little girl won't lose a single strand of hair. If she does, you can take my head."
Da Hu beside him also affirmed, "Yu Ye, rest assured, if anyone wants to harm the little girl, they'll have to step over my corpse first."
Seeing the two brothers make such solemn vows, Yu Daohan felt a mix of amusement and warmth.
He knew how good they were to the little girl.
They treated her as their own daughter.
If the little girl were in danger, they would be the first to rush forward.
