Chapter 2455: Forgetting Each Other in the Jianghu
The person I somewhat admired earlier suddenly appeared at this moment, asking me to wait. What is their purpose?
This is the real reason for Su Han’s irritation.
The Ancient Divine Mountain, Supreme Treasure Pearl, to Su Han, is a favor.
But the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, especially the Qing Emperor Sect, from the start, have never been favorable towards Su Han, always scheming against him.
Lin Jian even hired a Fusion Realm Expert, almost causing Su Han’s untimely demise.
Such grudges, how could Su Han simply dismiss them?
But he is ultimately someone who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and resentment.
Thus, he stopped.
The Sword Light was about to slay the Dark Sorcerer Supreme, presenting a perfect opportunity.
Yet Su Han still stopped.
He stepped down from the Starry Battleship and stood face-to-face with the fat man.
The people of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects around, though already far from Su Han, still changed color and retreated further upon his descent.
The Sword Light remained across the void, the aura of the Dark Sorcerer Supreme seemingly completely locked, unable to move.
The entire scene fell into complete silence at this moment.
Until a certain moment, the fat man spoke complicatedly: "The person who struck, it truly was you, wasn’t it?"
"Yes." Su Han nodded lightly.
Previously, the Dark Sorcerer Supreme and others had already guessed this, but were unwilling to believe it.
Therefore, upon seeing Su Han nod, they didn’t show any particularly shocked expression.
"Am I supposed to call you Nine Shadows Emperor now?" the fat man spoke again.
Nine Shadows Young Master, Su Baliu...
These were almost all nicknames for Su Han in the Lower-Class Star Region.
Before, many viewed these nicknames as pejorative, as mockery.
But now, no one dared think that way anymore.
The alien aptitude, battle power unmatched Nine Shadows Young Master has now transformed into Nine Shadows Emperor.
If truly needing a respectful title, ’Nine Shadows Emperor’ was undeniably most appropriate.
"Heh..."
Su Han remained silent, only seeing the fat man smile bitterly: "We met in the Jianghu, didn’t have much to do with each other, but I always regarded you as a rare like-minded person. I know you remembered me, wouldn’t forget me, right?"
Su Han still remained silent.
"Perhaps, just these things aren’t enough for you to extend a favor, but apart from these, I really have nothing else to catch your eye..."
With a deep breath, the fat man suddenly laughed.
He stretched out his chubby hand towards Su Han and said: "Hello, let’s reintroduce ourselves, my name is Huangfu Jun."
"So, Huangfu is your real surname."
Su Han pursed his lips and also extended his hand for a gentle handshake with Huangfu Jun.
Actually, he’s still accustomed to calling the other ’fat man’.
"The Dark Sorcerer Supreme... is my grandfather." Huangfu Jun, during his silence, revealed the reason for his plea.
Upon this revelation, a burst of exclamation rose around.
The Dark Sorcerer Supreme is actually Huangfu Jun’s grandfather???
Hidden so deeply!
Among the people performing the formation, many knew Huangfu Jun, or rather, many had been offended by him.
Yet like Su Han, they only knew this was a damn fat man, unaware of his name or identity.
Now they finally understood why this damn fat man, after offending so many, was still alive.
With the Sub-Immortal Level Dark Sorcerer Supreme protected him in secret, who could harm him?
"As far as I know, the Dark Sorcerer Supreme has no offspring." Su Han stared at Huangfu Jun.
"Many thought so..."
Huangfu Jun sighed lightly, evidently not planning to explain: "It’s a family matter, and complicated; I hope Su... I hope Lord Emperor, won’t inquire further."
"Lord Emperor..." Su Han murmured.
This was originally a respectful title, Su Han was eligible to bear.
Yet coming from the fat man’s mouth, inexplicably, the taste was different.
Perhaps in his heart, it was the same for the fat man.
Back then, those who shared the same era with Su Han, who were bestowed with titles of ’genius’, ’freak’, are now left far behind by Su Han... very far...
Not to mention Su Han’s comprehensive battle power, even just his cultivation realm is far superior to them.
To Lin Jian, Han Junjie, and the like, facing Su Han again brings only jealousy.
But to the fat man, Han Tengfei, and Wushuang, it evokes only sighs.
An era can, ultimately, have only one strongest.
And Su Han is undoubtedly the strongest of their era!
"You can still call me Su Han, or Su Baliu."
Su Han pursed his lips and said: "And I will still call you fat man, or Huangfu Jiuliu. At least at this moment, we’re still friends, right?
Huangfu Jun’s body shivered, deep guilt emerged.
"Brother Su, I know, I shouldn’t have posed such an excessive request to you; the friendship between us shouldn’t be tainted by anything, but..."
"He is my biological grandfather!!!"
"I, Huangfu Jun, from childhood to now, never pleaded with anyone, not because I am strong, but because... I know how difficult it is to plead, so I would rather die than plead!"
"I..."
"Enough."
Su Han interrupted Huangfu Jun.
He didn’t want to see his friend, before so many, speak so lowly to him.
True friends, why act like this?
"Wow!"
The Sword Light vanished, collapsing into Heaven and Earth.
The immense pressure dissipated rapidly, disappearing at this moment.
"Huff... huff..."
The Dark Sorcerer Supreme gasped heavily, his face flushed, his heart pounding wildly.
He could hardly imagine what Su Han went through in a decade to become so formidable!
"Thank you... Nine Shadows Emperor, for sparing my life!"
After a while, he spoke such words.
At least the performance had to be done on the surface.
"Qing Emperor Sect and Phoenix Sect are irreconcilable."
Su Han didn’t even glance at the Dark Sorcerer Supreme but stared at Huangfu Jun, saying: "This time, I’m sparing his life because of you, but only this once."
"The Qing Emperor Sect won’t willingly give up; they will continue to target Phoenix Sect."
"But I promise you, as long as the Dark Sorcerer Supreme no longer targets the Phoenix Sect, then I will leave him be."
Huangfu Jun’s body trembled, his eyes slightly reddened.
He knew...
Before, they were acquaintances in Jianghu.
But after this, they would be strangers in Jianghu.
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Because he had completely depleted this friendship.
