Chapter 112: Aunt Su Mengyun (3)

Buzz. Buzz.

Back at his own place, Wang Yue was about to pick a few outfits for tomorrow’s summit when the communicator at his waist suddenly vibrated.

"Eldest Aunt?" Seeing the caller, Wang Yue was a little strange. Why would Eldest Aunt think of calling him? She was not someone with idle time every day.

A bit puzzled, he accepted the video call.

At once a virtual figure appeared in front of him.

She was a woman about one meter seventy-five tall, long slightly wavy black hair falling down her back like big waves, a face with no makeup so beautiful it dazzled, second among all the women Wang Yue had seen only to his mother Su Mengyan, on the same level as little aunt Su Mengqing. She wore a black evening-gown style long dress engraved with dark gold patterns, mysterious and noble. The surging waves at her chest pushed the gown into an exaggerated curve. Her long, upright figure gave off a strong sense of pressure.

"Little Yue’er, I heard you’re representing the Wang Family at tomorrow’s summit. How’s the prep going?" The woman asked with a full smile, her tone a bit teasing, and even winked her right eye, like a rogue big sister teasing someone.

Wang Yue would never think she was frivolous because of that.

She was Mother Su Mengyan’s blood sister, Wang Yue’s eldest aunt Su Mengyun, current helm of the Su Family, and the most powerful woman in Golden Mountain City. No one else came close.

Only in front of Wang Yue would she show this seemingly improper side. With only a pair of twin daughters and no son, she had always treated Wang Yue like her own child. Only in front of him would she drop every mask, no longer the career woman who made everyone take three steps back in fear, but a slightly naughty woman who liked to mess with people.

She was not the only one whose inside and outside did not match. Little aunt Su Mengqing was about the same.

As president of Golden Mountain’s Adventurers Association, little aunt seemed like a war goddess, but in her bones she liked depending on someone. Otherwise she would not have fallen hopelessly in love with Wang Yue after he saved her like a god descending.

All of that likely came from the incident thirty years ago.

Speaking of that, Wang Yue had to admire his maternal grandfather. By himself he had made all three daughters hide their true natures.

Mischievous eldest aunt had forced herself to become strong so she could control her own fate.

Clingy little aunt had learned independence from childhood, and later became president of Golden Mountain’s Adventurers Association by her own effort.

As for Mother, Wang Yue was sure that coldness was not her nature either. She had simply been hurt deeper, so her nature was hidden deeper, and had never shown itself in front of anyone.

Wang Yue had absolute confidence he could help Mother untie that knot and let her return to her true self.

"Hey, why aren’t you talking?" Seeing Wang Yue space out, Su Mengyun immediately pouted, looking dissatisfied.

If the tens of millions of martial artists and commoners in Golden Mountain City saw that their most powerful queen still had a side this cute, like someone acting spoiled, countless jaws would drop.

Wang Yue came back and smiled. "Nothing. I was thinking what I should wear tomorrow."

"A bit formal is enough. There aren’t that many rules." Su Mengyun said it casually, then her face turned serious. "But don’t get too careless. I just got word that besides the Feng Family and Bao Family, a mysterious big shot from Tianhai may also attend tomorrow."

"A big shot from Tianhai?" Wang Yue frowned slightly. "Who?"

Su Mengyun shook her head. "I don’t know either. The Feng Family seems tight-lipped about it. They only hinted at me once and said nothing more."

Seeing Wang Yue look like he was thinking, she added, "You don’t need to be too tense, though. Your eldest aunt is here for everything."

Wang Yue smiled at once. "I know. I’m still learning. Even if I really lose a little composure, I doubt that big shot will hold it against me."

"Mm. No pressure is good. I told you only so you’d have a mental preparation." Su Mengyun was a very busy person, running the entire Su Family, so after the official matter she hung up.

Wang Yue quietly wondered whether that so-called big shot might be Li Yuankui’s father, Li Chonghe.

Martial artists from those top cities, especially high-level ones, were all very proud. They would not easily come to a "lower" city like Golden Mountain.

Only Li Chonghe might personally come look after failing to reach his son. The timing was quite a bit earlier than little aunt had predicted, but accidents could not be ruled out.

Even if it really was Li Chonghe, Wang Yue was not too worried. He was already at the peak of Nascent Soul, and his true combat power far exceeded his realm. He would not flinch even facing an ordinary Return True expert.

Besides, even if Li Chonghe came, he would have to investigate first. By the time he had investigated enough, Wang Yue’s cultivation might not even be weaker than his. Then what was there to fear?

To store energy for tomorrow, Wang Yue spent another night resting alone at home. (Fine. Actually all his women were still in their "recovery period," not fit for dual cultivation.)

Early the next morning Wang Yue went alone to a seven-star hotel in the city center. Today’s summit would be held there.

The summit would not start until afternoon. He had come this early because he wanted to pay respects in advance to the people from Gusu’s Feng Family and Bao Family.

Those two families had always cooperated with the Three Great Families of Golden Mountain City, and this was Wang Yue’s first time at such a gathering. Getting to know them early was necessary.

The people from Gusu’s two great families had arrived yesterday and were staying at this same hotel.

In a presidential suite Wang Yue first met the Feng Family’s representative.
