C774 Meeting Sun Mingyang Again

"Mr. Zhengyang, I didn't expect to see you in Limitless City!" Sun Mingyang exclaimed, surprised to see Woo Zhengyang.

"It's not surprising for us to be here, but you coming to Limitless City might not be the wisest choice," Woo Zhengyang replied with a light chuckle.

While on the hovercar, Woo Zhengyang had already noticed the deep hostility Sun Mingyuan held towards Sun Mingyang. Based on his observations, Woo Zhengyang suspected that Sun Mingyuan had entered the Limitless Domain for the auction and the chance to become a disciple of Master Qi Wuyai. Therefore, it was likely that Sun Mingyuan was also in Limitless City. Woo Zhengyang found it odd that Sun Mingyang would show up here instead of avoiding Sun Mingyuan.

With a bitter smile, Sun Mingyang said, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Zhengyang, but I had no choice but to come to Limitless City. First, my father lived here before he passed away. Second, Su Su and I wanted to try our luck. If Master Qi Wuyai were to notice us..."

He trailed off, knowing full well that while Master Qi Wuyai was eager to find disciples, his standards were incredibly high. The odds of being chosen were slim to none, and Sun Mingyang felt he was dreaming the impossible dream.

"Anything is possible, Mr. Mingyang. Don't underestimate yourself. You might just be the person Master Qi Wuyai is looking for. When that time comes, I hope you'll look out for me," Woo Zhengyang encouraged.

"You're joking, Mr. Zhengyang. If I ever find myself in that situation, I would never forget your life-saving kindness. By the way, Mr. Zhengyang, where are you headed?"

"We're looking for a place to stay," Woo Zhengyang replied.

"Oh, I see! As it happens, we have a house with just the two of us living there. If you don't mind, Mr. Zhengyang, you could stay with us. Uh... actually, never mind, maybe it's best if you find somewhere else!"

Woo Zhengyang hadn't even had a chance to respond before Sun Mingyang changed his mind.

"Mr. Mingyang, what do you mean by that?" Woo Zhengyang asked, intrigued.

"It's nothing, really. I just realized our place is quite small. It's already a tight fit with just me and Susu. If we invite you and this young lady to stay, it might be a bit too crowded," Sun Mingyang said with a smile.

"Mingyang..." The woman next to Sun Mingyang started to speak, but he shook his head slightly, stopping her.

Woo Zhengyang was puzzled, but Bing Yue chuckled softly and said, "You changed your mind because of your injury, didn't you?"

"You're hurt?"

Woo Zhengyang hadn't been paying close attention, so he hadn't noticed anything unusual about Sun Mingyang. Now that Bing Yue mentioned it, Woo Zhengyang looked more closely and saw that Sun Mingyang did indeed look a bit pale, as if he were injured.

"Was it Sun Mingyuan who did it?" Woo Zhengyang continued to ask.

Sun Mingyang nodded with a pained expression, remaining silent.

"On the hovercar, I remember when we parted ways, I advised you to leave together. Why did you leave first?"

After returning from the virtual platform, Woo Zhengyang and Sun Mingyang had agreed to get off the hovercar together, just to see if Sun Mingyuan would make a move. However, when it was time to disembark, Woo Zhengyang found that Sun Mingyang and the woman had already left.

Neither of them thought much of it. First, regardless of the situation, Sun Mingyang was still part of the Sun family, so he probably wouldn't make a big deal out of seeking revenge. Second, Woo Zhengyang felt he had likely offended Sun Mingyuan more, so if Sun Mingyuan wanted revenge, it would probably be directed at him. Sun Mingyang leaving early seemed like a reasonable choice.

But given the current situation, things didn't turn out as Woo Zhengyang had expected.

Sun Mingyang didn't know how to respond to Woo Zhengyang's doubts, but the young woman beside him, named Susu, spoke up.

"Mr. Zhengyang, actually, Mingyang left early to avoid dragging you into trouble. We thought Sun Mingyuan would only target us, but it turns out he went after you too. Thankfully, both you and this young lady are okay, which puts our minds at ease."

"Join forces for revenge?" Woo Zhengyang repeated, a bit puzzled.

"Yeah, haven't you run into them?"

"No!" Woo Zhengyang exchanged a glance with Bing Yue, both equally confused.

"That's odd. The warrior chasing us clearly said Sun Mingyuan took all the top fighters to deal with you!" Sun Mingyang was also perplexed.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else," Woo Zhengyang suggested. Standing on the bustling street was indeed drawing attention.

"Sure, our place is nearby. Why don't you come over for a bit, Mr. Zhengyang?"

"Alright!" Woo Zhengyang agreed, and the four of them left the street, heading into a quiet alley.

Sun Mingyang's place wasn't far, and they soon arrived. However, Sun Mingyang had clearly fibbed earlier. The house, while not luxurious, was certainly spacious enough—not just for four people, but even ten.

It was evident that Sun Mingyang initially intended to invite Woo Zhengyang to stay, but later worried about potential retaliation involving Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue, leading him to retract his offer.

This incident raised Woo Zhengyang's opinion of Sun Mingyang. The initial invitation showed his straightforwardness, while the retraction demonstrated his consideration for others, avoiding dragging them into trouble.

After the four of them entered the small courtyard, they settled around a stone table beneath a large old tree. The young woman named Susie brewed a pot of tea.

"Mr. Zhengyang, you just mentioned that Sun Mingyuan went after the two of us?" Woo Zhengyang asked first.

"Yes," Mingyang replied. "I was waiting at the exit before the train even arrived. As soon as it stopped, I hurried away, but despite that, two of their fighters caught up with me."

"The strange thing is, Sun Mingyuan didn't show up. Knowing his personality, he wouldn't be satisfied until he saw me dead. So, I asked about it and found out he went after you instead, Mr. Zhengyang."

"But we didn't encounter them on our way here! Could it be that our Golden Scale Boat was too fast for them to catch up?" Woo Zhengyang wondered aloud.

"That shouldn't be the case. Sun Mingyuan has the chief's flying artifact. Even with your Golden Scale Boat, they should have been able to catch up. Besides, you've been traveling for days and just arrived in Limitless City, right? Even if they couldn't catch up to you, they could have intercepted you ahead of time. With Sun Mingyuan's vengeful nature, he'd definitely try something like that."
