Chapter 1589 - Brother and Sister Reunite
A Void Realm True Immortal, that’s all. How dare he put on airs in front of me?
Su Yi couldn’t help but find this funny.
But before he could say anything, Fang Han shook his head. “If Senior Su can’t come, I’m not coming either.”
Yu Ting was stunned, and his brow furrowed, but in the end, he nodded and compromised. “Very well. Let’s go together then.”
With that, he waved his sleeves through the air, and a treasure ship appeared out of nowhere. “If you please.”
Fang Han looked at Su Yi. Su Yi smiled and walked directly on board. Only then did Fang Han hurry after him.
Yu Ting witnessed this exchange, but in the end, he said nothing. The treasure ship promptly set off.
“Senior, earlier, I thought you might kill that old man in a fit of rage,” transmitted Fang Han once they were on board. He’d seen Su Yi kill whole groups of immortals, forcefully and directly, without any wasted words.
Su Yi rubbed his nose. “Do you really think I’m the type of barbarian who’d kill a man after a single word spoken out of turn?”
Fang Han sheepishly fell silent.
Su Yi patted him on the shoulder. “No matter what, he’s the person your big sister sent to welcome you. I naturally won’t sink to an errand boy’s level.”
Fang Han hesitated, then transmitted, “Senior, that person says that my sister is about to get married. What do you think of this?”
Su Yi said casually, “If your sister and Wen Liangyu truly have feelings for each other, this is naturally wonderful news. If not, once I understand the situation, I’ll just handle it.”
Fang Han nodded repeatedly.
Along the way, Yu Ting came looking for Fang Han and warmly tried to chat.
But Fang Han said little. Either he said nothing at all, or he shook his head. At most, he offered the occasional perfunctory grunt.
Yu Ting had planned to get a sense of what Fang Han had been doing for the past three years and ask about Su Yi’s origins while he was at it. He wouldn’t have guessed that Fang Han would be this uncooperative; he’d been completely snubbed.
Eventually, he chose not to invite any further rebuffs, so he decided to try Su Yi instead!
“What do you call yourself, sir?” Yu Ting raised a jug of wine and asked with a smile.
Su Yi was sprawled out comfortably in his wicker chair, resting his eyes. He distractedly told Yu Ting his name.
Su Yi? Yu Ting mulled that over, but the name didn’t ring any bells.
He smiled, then set the jug of wine on the little table beside Su Yi. “Forgive my boldness, but I’d like to ask you about your relationship with my young friend Fang Han.”
“Do you think there’s a problem?” asked Su Yi.
Yu Ting furrowed his brow. Su Yi’s flippant, languid attitude displeased him.
In the end, he decided not to beat around the bush. He said gravely, “Worldly affairs are full of peril, and the human heart is unfathomable. Fang Han is my young leader’s future little brother-in-law; I naturally have to look out for his safety to prevent those with ill intentions from taking advantage of him!”
Su Yi laughed. “Your concerns are foolish indeed.”
Foolish?
Yu Ting was stunned. He would never, ever have guessed that a young man in his twenties would dare insult a Void Realm True Immortal like him to his face!
Yu Ting’s expression darkened, and he forcefully suppressed his wrath and said expressionlessly, “I demand an explanation. Otherwise, don’t blame me if this leads to a falling out!”
Su Yi rubbed his forehead and sighed. “Would someone with ill intentions really have accompanied you back to the Liang Family’s territory?”
Yu Ting was stunned, then a bit ill at ease. It was true! The Liang Family was an Immortal Lord clan!
What evildoer would deliver themselves to their door?
Yu Ting snorted coldly, stared at Su Yi, and said, “And what if you plan to use this opportunity to ingratiate yourself with the Liang Family and boost your position?”
Su Yi chuckled and teased, “The Liang Family already has a loyal servant like you. How could I possibly find an opportunity to ingratiate myself?”
His words were full of mockery.
Yu Ting’s expression darkened, and he said slowly and emphatically, “Young man, you’d best behave yourself! Out of consideration for young Fang Han, I won’t pursue this insult, but if you try anything, anything at all, I’ll be the first to punish you!”
With that, he swooshed his sleeves and left.
Su Yi stroked his jaw and sank into thought.
......
The White Red Province, Cloudwater Immortal City.
The Liang Family, an Immortal Lord clan, had built their base in this ancient city.
Although they called it a city, it was like a small nation, and it occupied an enormous stretch of territory.
A day later.
Su Yi and Fang Han arrived in Cloudwater City under Yu Ting’s leadership, then stopped at a thousand-acre manor.
This was one of the many residences the Liang Family owned throughout the city.
“I’ll bring Fang Han to see the young leader and his fiancee. You wait here.” Yu Ting led Su Yi to a guest room and said coldly, “When the young leader agrees to see you, I’ll naturally guide you to him.”
But before Su Yi could respond, Fang Han shook his head. “Senior Su and I will wait here together. If my big sister wants to see me, she can come here herself.”
Yu Ting was stunned.
Su Yi smiled. “Go on.”
With that, he and Fang Han continued into the guest room. Yu Ting’s expression shifted erratically, but in the end, he snorted coldly, turned, and left.
“Senior, did I... do the right thing just now?” Fang Han asked quietly.
Su Yi nodded. “You did well.”
Fang Han grinned. “I just figured that no matter how impressive the Liang Family is, it’s not like we’re here to fawn on them. Why do we need their permission for every little thing.”
Su Yi smiled, looking pleased with him. “That’s the kind of spirit a descendant of the Bi’an Spirit Race ought to have.”
......
Within a grand hall.
Liang Wenyu was reading a jade slip when he suddenly burst into hacking coughs.
He wore plain white robes, and his long hair was tied up. He had a scholarly demeanor, but he looked feeble and sickly. When the coughing started, his expression contorted with agony.
“Big Brother Liang, your wounds are getting worse.” Fang Yourong looked at him with tender concern.
She was a bright, delicate beauty with sparkling eyes and skin as fair as snow. Her clothes were pale pink, and she wore no makeup, but she was as beautiful as a hibiscus flower.
“It’s fine. My old illness is acting up.” Liang Wenyu took a deep breath and waved her concern away. “Yourong, in just a few more days, we’ll be married. Better yet, there’s finally word of your little brother Fang Han! A double blessing has descended upon our household. When Yu Ting returns with Fang Han, let’s celebrate together.”
Fang Yourong’s eyes lit up with eagerness. “Let’s!”
Over the last three years, her little brother Fang Han was the only thing she couldn’t let go of. She and Liang Wenyu had borrowed the Liang Family’s power to search for leads on numerous occasions.
They never found anything at all, but against all expectations, just as she and Liang Wenyu were about to tie the knot, she received a Bi’an Shooting Star Talisman from her brother. She’d been overcome with delight ever since.
The thought that she and her brother would soon be reunited made her feel as if she were dreaming. She felt a complicated mix of excitement, nervousness, and joy.
“Your servant, Yu Ting, has returned! Greetings to you and your soon-to-be wife!” Yu Ting walked into the hall, faced Liang Wenyu and Fang Yourung, and bowed.
Fang Yourong’s face reddened. Although she was soon to marry Liang Wenyu, the title “wife” still made her a bit uncomfortable.
But a moment later, she couldn’t be bothered with any of that. She looked around and asked urgently, “Uncle Yu, where is my brother?”
Liang Wenyu looked at Yu Ting too.
Yu Ting said hurriedly, “Fang Han is currently waiting in the guest room.”
Liang Wenyu furrowed his brow. “Why not bring him with you?”
Yu Ting explained, “Young Leader, you don’t know this, but Fang Han is accompanied by his benefactor. That man’s origins are suspicious, and I suspect he has ill intentions. I dared not bring him here directly.”
He then explained everything that had happened after he went to welcome Fang Han. After finishing the story, he complained, “That Su Yi person is just too rude. He’s so young, but he’s extraordinarily prideful...”
Whap!
A teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Liang Wenyu rose, his expression overcast, and shouted, “Yu Ting, you’re too presumptuous! You obviously understand that Fellow Daoist Su saved Fang Han. How dare you disdain and slander him like that?”
Yu Ting instantly fell silent.
Fang Yourong’s brow furrowed. She got up and said, “Big Brother Liang, let’s go see my brother together.”
Liang Wenyu said hurriedly, “Of course!”
He then pointed at Yu Ting. “You come too. I want you to apologize to Fellow Daoist Su personally!”
......
Within the guest room.
Fang Han and Fang Yourong finally reunited after three years apart. Both siblings were overcome with joy and excitement. The rims of Fang Han’s eyes reddened, and tears were already pouring down Fang Yourong’s face.
Su Yi considerately stepped aside and left the ill-fated siblings alone.
“I’m Liang Wenyu. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Su.” Outside the guest room, Liang Wenyu stood in the shade of one of the courtyard’s trees, clasped his fist, and said apologetically, “I apologize for Yu Ting’s disrespect on your way here and humbly request your forgiveness.”
Yu Ting lowered his head and apologized, obviously timid and ill at ease, without any sign of his former bluster.

Su Yi couldn’t help but find this surprising. He looked Liang Wenyu up and down, then said, “A trivial matter. I naturally won’t pursue it any further.”
Liang Wenyu smiled. “I heard that you saved Fang Han’s life. I couldn’t be more grateful for your benevolence. I’ve arranged a banquet, and I hope you’ll join us and let me show off my hospitality.”
There was no denying his excellent manners and modesty. He wasn’t putting on any airs whatsoever.
Su Yi nodded. “Sure.”
He wanted to take this opportunity to understand what was going on between Liang Wenyu and Fang Yourong.
Meanwhile, within the guest room, the siblings regained control over their emotions.
Fang Yourong said gently, “Little Brother, I know about everything you wrote in your letter. Rest assured. So long as Fellow Daoist Su isn’t a bad person, I’ll be sure to repay his benevolence. If he had ulterior motives for saving you, I won’t let him get away with it.”
Fang Han said hurriedly, “Big Sister, I’m already certain that Senior Su isn’t a bad person!”
Fang Yourong said gently, “I want to believe that, but no matter what, we have to be careful. You haven’t forgotten everything we’ve endured, have you? There are almost no good people in the Immortal Realm, and no one is ever kind for no reason.”
Fang Han opened his mouth to explain, but Fang Yourong was already continuing. “Let’s set that aside for now and go meet with Fellow Daoist Su. He’s your benefactor; we can’t keep him waiting long.”
She then took her little brother’s hand, and the two of them left the room.
