The three women waved, and quiet returned.
Sakada Sotsuki hummed a tune, then suddenly cried out.
"What do you want?"
She felt Su Yang's large hand roaming her waist, scaring her into sitting bolt upright.
"You woke me up, you teased me, and now you ask me what I want?"
Su Yang pulled Sakada Sotsuki into the covers, then pressed down on her.
"Don't, I know I was wrong, I'll never dare again."
Sakada Sotsuki blocked him with her hands, trying to push Su Yang away but unable to.
"Hmph! You just told your sister I was skinny and small, and now?"
The light in the covers was dim, but Sakada Sotsuki could still see.
She couldn't help but recall the scenes of Su Yang showering at night.
"Ah, don't come closer, don't push, it's so hot..."
Sakada Sotsuki couldn't push Su Yang away. She reached out to grab his lower body, stopping him from entering. Who knew the temperature was comparable to a burning poker.
Sakada Sotsuki cried out that it was hot to the touch, and she panicked.
"Don't be like this, how will I face my sister and the others later?"
Su Yang was already on the verge of exploding, "Just say I forcefully took you, that you didn't actively seduce me, your sister won't be angry."
"That won't do either! I can't fight with my sister over a man, and if I do, I have to tell her beforehand."
Sakada Sotsuki couldn't hold him with one hand, so she used both. The closer he got, the more nervous she became.
Both were exerting force, and the poor wooden bed could barely bear the weight, creaking loudly.
A few minutes later.
Sakada Sotsuki's hands grew weak, and with a 'pop'.
"Ah... you, you bastard, you won't even let your sister-in-law off! Wuwuwu..."
Su Yang grabbed her head and launched a furious storm of attacks, showing no mercy.
Instead, hearing the word "sister-in-law," he became even more energetic, feeling refreshed and completely devoid of sleepiness.
"Heh heh, sister-in-law is great, I, this young master, especially like your Sangguo sisters-in-law!"
"Ah... please let me go, ah..."
Sakada Sotsuki's cries also changed with Su Yang's movements. Initially, it was anger and shock, now it was surprise.
She quickly covered her mouth, only to realize that she had inadvertently become aroused.
After a while.
She stopped shouting and instead held onto the bedsheet tightly, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Was this why her sister and Naizi felt happiness?
This was too formidable!
Sakada Sotsuki sighed and slowly wrapped her arms around Su Yang's shoulders.
The next day at noon.
Outside the fifth ring road of Kyoto, Su Yang and his group of six rented a private villa.
"Boss, Chu Tianye said he can only arrive tomorrow. He's been avoiding patrol teams along the way."
Mo Gaowei used an encrypted number to call Chu Tianye.
"It's fine, you all go down and rest first. I'm going to meet someone!"
Su Yang had received a message from a mysterious person early in the morning, inviting him for a private meeting, stating it was about how to deal with the Shangguan family.
"Boss, this is Kyoto. It might not be safe for you to go alone."
"No need to worry!"
Su Yang left a word and rode away on his bicycle.
The person had invited him to meet at Maple Leaf Lake, about a kilometer away. Bringing people would only make him seem weak.
...
Maple Leaf Lake is surrounded by mountains and is a stagnant lake.
Red maple leaves covered the mountainside, and fallen leaves drifted onto the lake, changing its color.
Su Yang rode his bicycle through a small path, and down a slope, he arrived.
On the lake, there was a small boat.
The boat was moored at the shore, and white smoke rose from within.
A young man sat inside, looking quite handsome from the side, about twenty-five years old.
Seeing Su Yang approach, the man stood up to greet him.
"I've long heard of Brother Su's name. Meeting you today, you truly live up to your reputation!"
"Who are you?"
Su Yang sized up the man in front of him. He bore some resemblance to Shangguan Yi.
He couldn't help but wonder why someone from the Shangguan family would want to meet him alone.
"My name is Shangguan Qianji, Shangguan Yi's elder brother."
"However, he doesn't consider me his brother. Because he is the legitimate son of Shangguan Zhongtang, and I am an illegitimate son."
Su Yang suddenly understood. It was a struggle between the legitimate and illegitimate sons.
"Brother Su, please come in!"
Shangguan Qianji smiled and sat down to boil water and make tea, his movements very elegant.
Su Yang admired the lakeside scenery. He wasn't in a hurry to ask Shangguan Qianji how to deal with the powerful Shangguan family.
After all, Shangguan Yi was in his hands.
"Brother Su, please have some tea."
Shangguan Qianji offered him a cup of tea with both hands, his attitude surprisingly amiable.
However, Su Yang did not believe that anyone from the Shangguan family could be kind.
"Speak, what do you want by inviting me here?"
"Brother Su, can you hand Shangguan Yi over to me? I can help you with anything you want."
"That might not be possible! Because Shi Wuzun is being held by your father, Shangguan Zhongtang. I'll use him as an exchange!"
"I see."
Shangguan Qianji took a sip of tea and clasped his fingers together, deep in thought.
"If you want the person, or to rescue Shi Wuzun, I can give you Shangguan Yi."
Shangguan Qianji sighed, "My biased father has always distrusted me. If he wants to hide someone, I wouldn't be able to find them even if I turned Kyoto upside down."
Biased?
Su Yang sneered inwardly. As expected, the illegitimate son and the legitimate son were about to clash.
"If there's no one, then I absolutely cannot give Shangguan Yi to you."
"Brother Su, how about we change the terms? If you want money or women, I can give them to you."
"Do you think I lack money or women?"
Shangguan Qianji was speechless. If it were an ordinary person, these terms would have already swayed them.
"Brother Su, I don't want the person, but we can cooperate in a different way."
"You tell me."
"You help me kill Shangguan Zhongtang, and also send Shangguan Yi away."
Su Yang put down his teacup. This person looked refined, but he was ruthless.
He even wanted to kill his own father.
These big families were truly ruthless, with no regard for family ties.
"Brother Su, you don't have to look at me like that. As an illegitimate son who is not favored, I've never experienced paternal love since childhood. I don't care about his life or death, I only care about that position."
A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Qianji's eyes. Shangguan Zhongtang was not only the patriarch of the Shangguan family but also the leader of one of the nine major departments of the Dragon Kingdom.
He wielded immense power and had many capable subordinates.
It was normal for Shangguan Qianji to covet that position.
Su Yang asked, "Then what can you do to help me?"
"Brother Su, I can give you a list. These people are Shangguan Zhongtang's capable assistants. You can persuade them or kill them."
Shangguan Qianji handed over a list. There were over a hundred people on it.
The information on the list was complete: their names, positions, residences, and even their hobbies.
"If I kill all of them, then when you take over Shangguan Zhongtang's position, who will be there to serve you?"
"I, Shangguan Qianji, do not trust them, except for Brother Su."
Su Yang smiled without speaking. They had just met, so what trust could there be?
However, he didn't expose Shangguan Qianji's little trick.
Both sides were pursuing their own interests; it was a simple transaction.
Su Yang tapped the table, "I have another request."
