Su Yunming fell silent. To be honest, he didn’t have a better solution.
However, Su Yunming would never blame Su Han. Su Yunming knew that he would’ve done the same thing, had he been in the same position as Su Han and been forced to kneel for Chen Yi and Lin Heng.
“Let’s wait for now.”
After saying this, Su Yunlie walked outside.
“‘Wait’?”
Su Han raised his head to look at Su Yunlie. He thought to himself, Looks like you really are planning to banish my father and me from the clan!
“Not good, not good!”
At that moment, a guard ran in from outside, and said panickedly, “My patriarchs, the… the people from the Lin Clan and the Chen Clan are… are here!”
“What?!”
Everyone’s expression suddenly changed.
Su Yunlie was planning to see if there was any other solution. However, now it looked like even if there was one, it would be too late to apply it.
“Su Han… oh, Su Han!” Su Yunlie eyed Su Han and headed outside.
“Humph!”
Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng also snorted coldly as they abruptly turned and walked out.
“Su Han, just you wait. The day of your death is near!”
Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui laughed coldly, and walked out of the room.
“Hanny, don’t be scared. With your dad here, no one’s going to lay a finger on you!” Su Yunming raised his head and revealed a smile at Su Han.
Seeing his father like this, Su Han couldn’t help but smile.
This old geezer… he appears confident, but he’s probably extremely anxious on the inside.
“Let’s go and take a look as well.” Su Han got up.
“I think it’s best for you to stay here. I’ll go,” Su Yunming said with a smile.
“It’s no use to hide in here. Even if I don’t go, Su Yunchen and the others would make me. Let’s go.”
After Su Han finished speaking, he walked out of the room along with Su Yunming.
…
A large group of people had gathered outside the Su Estate. There were thousands of heads among the packed crowd.
In the front were Lin Clan Grand Patriarch Lin Chengsong and Chen Clan Grand Patriarch Chen Yifu.
Both of them were mounted on a grade-two fiend beast Spirit Kirin.
Next to them, there was another person mounted on a Spirit Kirin. The man was dressed in court attire, and looked like he was extremely important.
“Chen Clan Grand Patriarch and Lin Clan Grand Patriarch, pardon us for not inviting you properly!” Su Yunlie, Su Yunchen, and Su Yunpeng were the first to walk out from the mansion.
“‘Invite’, my ass!” Lin Chengsong immediately started cursing.
The three Su Clan patriarchs’ expressions suddenly changed. Although displeased, they didn’t dare to say much more.
The people from the two big clans had surrounded the Su Clan. From the formation, it looked like they wouldn’t be leaving without a fight.
“Bring him up!” Lin Chengsong said gloomily.
Immediately, some men brought a stretcher and laid it gently in front of Su Yunlie and the others. A corpse lay on it.
Su Yunlie and the others immediately changed their expressions after seeing this. The corpse was Lin Heng.
“It’s already been more than half a month, and they still didn’t cremate him?” Su Yunlie and the others silently thought that it was all over for them.
“I would rather have Heng’er’s body rot, just to show you folks how heartless the people of your Su Clan really are!” Lin Chengsong yelled out.
“This… this is a misunderstanding…” Su Yunchen laughed nervously.
“Misunderstanding?”
Lin Chengsong was so angry he started laughing. “Hahaha… alright then, since you think this is a misunderstanding… Then hand me the bastard Su Han. I will make a misunderstanding as well, right in front of your Su Clan!”
“Guards, get me Su Han!” Su Yunchen yelled directly.
“No need.”
At that moment, an indifferent voice rang out. Su Han’s figure had appeared before everyone.
“You want me to die so badly, huh?” Su Han looked towards Su Yunchen.
“This was your doing. Do you want us to take the blame for you?” Su Yunchen snorted coldly.
“What trash.”
The two words dropped easily from Su Han’s mouth, which agitated Su Yunchen even more.
“Su Han!”
The moment he saw Su Han, Lin Chengsong’s eyes turned bloodshot and his whole body was filled with the desire to kill him.
“The Su Clan raised a genius, I see.”
Lin Chengsong gritted his teeth so hard they let out a crackling sound. “However, you have to take responsibility for the genius you raised. Today I have come to do one thing and one thing only… and that is to destroy the Su Clan!”
“You dare make my son kneel for you? The nerves you have!”
Chen Yifu wasn’t as enraged as Lin Chengsong, since only a guest official who he didn’t care for had died and not his son.
However, Chen Yifu had long wanted to eradicate the Su Clan and take a piece of the territories and wealth of the Su Clan. Given such a rare opportunity, it would only be natural for him to take advantage of it.
“Kill him!” Chen Yifu said as he flung his arm.
“Wait!”
At this moment, Su Yunchen suddenly said, “My two Grand Patriarchs, we do admit it wasn’t right for Su Han to be so heartless. However, this was his doing and his alone, and perhaps even instigated by his father, but it has nothing to do with the Su Clan!”
“Right; if you really want to avenge your son, it’s enough to just kill Su Han and Su Yunming. The Su Clan has nothing to do with this,” Su Yunpeng added.
“You two bastards, you’ve really lost all of the face of the Su Clan.” Su Yunming was so angry he was about to spit fire.
“This is how it’s supposed to be. How could you make the entire Su Clan responsible for the trouble that you two stirred up?” Su Yunchen snorted coldly.
“Big Brother, what do you think?” The two turned to ask Su Yunlie.
Although Su Yunlie hadn’t inherited the position of Grand Patriarch, he was the eldest of the four.
Most importantly, they needed Su Yunlie’s permission to strip Su Yunming of his title as Grand Patriarch and to banish Su Yunming and Su Han from the clan.
“Big Brother!”
Seeing that Su Yunlie was still silent, Su Yunpeng said hurriedly, “You’re also aware of the situation. If you keep stalling, then it’s only going to be the whole Su Clan that suffers.”
Su Yunming didn’t interrupt, as the trouble was indeed brought upon them by his son. No matter the result, he had to accept it.
As for Su Han… he didn’t care enough to speak.
Su Yunlie stayed silent for a long while. Then, he suddenly lifted his head to look at the middle-aged man.
“The Frost Cloud Sect has rules. Don’t they forbid large-scale massacres to affect others?”
The person was the Frost Cloud Sect’s patrol officer in charge of the Far Mountain Province, Cao Qing.
Cao Qing paused for a while, and immediately said with a smile, “Looks like you’ve made your decision?”
Su Yunlie took a deep breath and said heavily, “Su Clan Grand Patriarch Su Yunming has done a poor job governing the clan and is thus undeserving of his position. From this day onward, his title of Grand Patriarch will be stripped and, along with his son, will be banished from the clan.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yunming smiled bitterly.
Su Yunming had expected this to happen. However, when Su Yunlie opened his mouth, it still made Su Yunming extremely angry.
This was the true nature of the Su Clan—the Su Clan that could never raise its head against its opponents.
“Banished from the clan? Su Yunchen, Su Yunpeng, Su Yunlie…”
Su Han called out their names one by one and narrowed his starlike eyes at the three of them. “Don’t you regret this,” he said, enunciating each word.
“Regret? Hahaha… Su Han, that’s really funny!”
Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng exchanged a gaze, and said together, “You’re the disaster of the Su Clan. The bad egg of the basket! Let alone banishment, even if you had died, we wouldn’t regret a thing!”
Su Yunlie, however, was standing expressionless on the side.
“Alright.”
Su Han smiled.
“From this day onwards, my father and I… will have nothing more to do with the Su Clan!”
