The Mystery of Young Master Su's True Appearance

"Are you Young Master Su? Meeting you truly surpasses hearing of you. You came to Green Mountain Town just two days ago, yet on the first day you drew the attention of the entire town, and on the second, you wiped out this town's greatest scourge. A hero indeed emerges from the young. You are a model for all of us."

Inside the medicine hut, mercenaries from the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, along with some of Green Mountain Town's herb gatherers and physicians, had gathered to thank Su Qingyun.

Su Qingyun had not expected to find such a scene of gratitude on the Dou Qi Continent.

There were good people on the Dou Qi Continent too!

I am ready. Please provide the text you would like me to revise.

"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group has long tyrannized Green Mountain Town. Not only did they charge exorbitant protection fees within their territory, they also colluded with Mr. Yao to suppress the purchase prices of our medicinal herbs and magical beasts, then resell them at high prices. Now that Young Master Su has destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, the town can finally return to normal. Spring has finally come for us herb gatherers, boohoohoo~"

"Though these medicinal herbs are nothing particularly precious, they are a small token of appreciation from Green Mountain Town's herb gatherers. We ask Young Master Su and Xiao Yi Xian to oversee the prices of medicinal herbs in Green Mountain Town, manage the town's medicinal herb and magical beast markets, and prevent another 'Wolf Head Mercenary Group' from appearing!"

"These are also gifts from the Blood Battle Mercenary Group and other mercenaries for you, Young Master. There are some medicinal herbs, as well as several first-tier magic cores. We do not know whether they are worthy of your attention."

Looking at the gifts the people of Green Mountain Town had placed in the Small Courtyard, Su Qingyun felt deeply moved.

Su Qingyun did not lack such medicinal herbs. When he had left the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the herbs and Wondrous Items Big Zi had brought him were far more precious and advanced than these things.

But he knew that these medicinal herbs and magic cores had been won through these people's struggles with their lives. To them, their value might have equaled several months of expenses for an entire family.

"Killing Mu She and destroying the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was merely because they entertained thoughts they should not have. I did it for myself. I truly cannot accept these things or your gratitude. They only brought disaster upon themselves and deserved their deaths."

"Keep these things for yourselves. They may be of greater use to you than to me. Sell them for money, buy some jewelry for your wives and children, and have a good meal."

Though the people of Green Mountain Town sincerely wished to give these medicinal herbs and magic cores to Su Qingyun, he did not accept them.

Seeing that Su Qingyun insisted, Ka Gang of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group cupped his hands and said,

"Young Master Su's refusal to accept these things shows that you care for ordinary people like us. However, there is treasure in one place that you must not refuse, or we would be failing in our duty."

Su Qingyun asked doubtfully, "What treasure?"

"Of course, the accumulated wealth at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's headquarters. Mu She and Mu Li are dead, and even their Second Leader, Gan Mu, met with an unfortunate death a few days ago. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's remaining few low-star Dou Zhes can hardly accomplish anything, which basically means the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has disbanded. Their savings from all these years naturally belong to you as spoils of war, Young Master Su."

Even the leader and Vice Leader of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group had come personally to say this.

Though they also coveted the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's property, they knew that Su Qingyun had destroyed Mu She alone and even possessed a third-tier magical beast as a mount. How would they dare contend with him?

Furthermore, after the Wolf Head Mercenary Group found Gan Mu, Tian Guinong, and the others' corpses a few days ago, they had returned to Green Mountain Town suspecting that the Blood Battle Mercenary Group had set up their murders. They had every intention of destroying the Blood Battle Mercenary Group. Had this Young Master Su not stepped in and killed Mu She, the Blood Battle Mercenary Group would likely have been in danger!...

Green Mountain Town, Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters.

Led personally by the leader and Vice Leader of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, Su Qingyun arrived at the storeroom.

Outside the storeroom, Ka Gang, Mo Shi, Qing Xin, Ling'er, and Xiao Yi Xian waited.

As Ling'er watched Su Qingyun's back, she increasingly found him strangely familiar. She could not help whispering to Qing Xin,

"Sister Qing Xin, don't you think this Young Master Su has a particularly otherworldly aura, like we have seen it somewhere before?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Qing Xin's lovely face. "Now that you mention it... it really does seem that way. Although he wears a mask, I keep feeling that Young Master Su is not someone of this mortal world. He has a... drifting, immortal quality. I thought I was the only one who felt that way..."

"Speaking of which, when we accidentally ventured deeper into the Magical Beast Mountain Range a few days ago, didn't we see a young man with an extraordinary bearing, whose appearance surpassed even those of the heavens? We only caught one glimpse of him, but I still remember it vividly. I will never forget him for the rest of my life."

Ka Gang vaguely overheard Ling'er and Qing Xin whispering, and a memory surfaced in his mind. Whenever he recalled that scene, he became somewhat dazed.

At Ka Gang's words, Qing Xin and Ling'er also wore infatuated expressions. For the past few days, their minds had been filled with the Peerless Young Man's figure. That scene had left far too deep an impression on them.

So deep that they wanted him deeply.

"Could this Young Master Su be that immortal young man we saw a few days ago?"

"At that time, that immortal young man was not riding an Amethyst Winged Lion, was he?"

"What if... this Amethyst Winged Lion is one he subdued in the Magical Beast Mountain Range over the past few days?"

"That can't be possible, right? This is an Amethyst Winged Lion! How could he tame it into being so obedient in just a few days?"

Mo Shi scratched his head in surprise and glanced at the Amethyst Winged Lion, which had received Su Qingyun's orders and was lying obediently nearby. Yet after Mu She's poisoning incident, it had become exceptionally alert to changes in its surroundings. Whoever looked at it, it glared at them as though it wanted to devour them.

It frightened Mo Shi at once.

"If it were someone else, I would think it impossible. But if it is him, then I think it is entirely possible."

Ling'er said confidently. That young man possessed that ability based on his appearance alone!

Qing Xin and Ka Gang both nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yi Xian moved closer at this point. Having overheard some of their conversation, and already being extremely curious about Su Qingyun's identity and appearance, she could not help asking,

"What? What? You saw Little Brother Qingyun before? In the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Is he really as exaggerated as you say?"

"Xiao Yi Xian, you don't know..."

Ling'er and Qing Xin then told Xiao Yi Xian about how they had encountered the Peerless Young Man walking into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes instantly brightened, and she could not help muttering inwardly, He is obviously very handsome, yet he still wears a mask? Really? Is he really so handsome that he could charm countless people? Does he need a mask to hide it?

"Hey... do you want to find out whether he really is that Peerless Young Man you saw in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

As soon as Xiao Yi Xian said this, Ling'er and Qing Xin immediately nodded, their eyes shining brightly.

"Of course we do!"

"Then come on. Help me gather some poison."

"Poison? What for? Who are you giving it to? You are not planning to poison him, are you?"

"I'm eating it!"
