“Alright.”
Cao Qing looked at Lin Chengsong and Chen Yifu, and shook his head, saying, “Grand Patriarchs, since Su Han and his father have been banished from the Su Clan, this matter no longer has anything to do with the Su Clan. If you want to settle this, settle it with Su Han.”
“Humph, Su Yunchen, you’re very heartless. You banished your most impressive genius out of the Su Clan just to save your own life?” Lin Chengsong snorted coldly.
Chen Yifu also said, “Su Yunming is the Grand Patriarch of this family and yet he can have his title stripped so easily. Looks like the Su Clan wasn’t as stable as I thought it was.”
The two were both dissatisfied, since if not for patrol officer Cao Qing’s interruption, they could’ve definitely taken advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Su Clan and eradicate them completely from the Far Mountain Province.
Unfortunately, the heartless Su Clan had banished Su Han and his father from the clan. There was nothing more they could do.
“If so, Su Han, then you should go and be buried along with Heng’er!”
Lin Chengsong’s eyes turned cold, and he got off of his Kirin mount and rushed forward. Even the ground started to shake.
Su Han’s expression remained calm, and did not show the slightest fear.
Whoosh!
A figure jumped in front of Su Han. It was Su Yunming.
“Hahaha… Lin Chengsong, given the situation, I’ll spare you the kind words. If your son’s dead, that just means he lacked strength. He deserved to be killed by my son!”
Su Yunming laughed out loud, “You want to hurt my son? You have to go through me first!”
“No need to rush. You’re both going to have to die!” Lin Chengsong’s gaze was extremely cold.
“Everyone, stop!”
Right at this moment, a tender yell rang out from not far away. Two more Spirit Kirins came rushing forwards, with two figures seated on them.
They were both female. Although their faces didn’t have the slightest similarity, they were both extremely beautiful and stunning.
“Xiao Yuhui?”
Upon seeing them, Lin Chengsong’s and Chen Yifu’s faces immediately became more unsightly.
They didn’t know who the other girl was, but they definitely knew Xiao Yuhui.
“Greetings, Elder Yuhui.”
Cao Qing’s face turned, and he jumped off the Spirit Kirin hurriedly and bowed towards Xiao Yuhui.
“Elder?”
Everyone was slightly stunned after hearing this title.
“Patrol officer, Xiao Yuhui… has already become an elder? An inner elder or an outer elder?” Chen Yifu asked in a soft voice.
“Inner,” said Cao Qing.
“Inner?” Chen Yifu’s expression suddenly changed.
Cao Qing continued, “Ever since Elder Yuhui joined the Frost Cloud Sect, she has shown her astonishing talent. Firstly, she became an inner disciple with eight dragon veins. Then, she opened her ninth dragon vein and was promoted to sect leader’s direct disciple. And just when everyone thought she was about to break through to the Dragon Blood Realm… she opened yet another dragon vein!”
“Ten dragon veins?!”
Everyone gasped and looked at Xiao Yuhui in astonishment and shock.
That’s ten dragon veins!
This made her a top genius of the Martial Dragon Continent, with the highest number of dragon veins anyone could open on the Martial Dragon Continent.
Not more than one person was able to open ten dragon veins in every ten thousand years. Even in the context of the entire Martial Dragon Continent, it was an incredible feat.
Such people were destined to become incredibly strong in the future.
“After opening ten dragon veins, Elder Yuhui lent me some of the sect’s resources and helped me to have rapid breakthroughs. As of now, I have already became a late stage Dragon Blood Realm cultivator,” Cao Qing continued to say.
The crowd fell silent.
For them, Xiao Yuhui was a legend.
A month ago, Xiao Yuhui only had eight dragon veins and was only an inner disciple of the Frost Cloud Sect.
As of now, she had broken through and become a late stage Dragon Blood Realm cultivator, and even an inner elder of the Frost Cloud Sect.
Whether in position or strength, she had undergone shocking changes.
“Greetings from the Lin Clan’s Grand Patriarch, Lin Chengsong, Elder Yuhui.”
“Greetings from the Chen Clan’s Grand Patriarch, Chen Yifu, Elder Yuhui.”
Chen Yifu and Lin Chengsong both got off their Spirit Kirins and bowed in respect.
“You may get up now,” Xiao Yuhui said indifferently.
“Yes.” Everyone got up.
“Li’l Husband Su Han, I’ve come to save you!” The girl beside Xiao Yuhui kept blinking her big eyes at Su Han.
“Who is this young lady?” Chen Yifu and the others asked curiously.
Chen Yi, who stood beside them, replied, “Father, I’ve seen this lady at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. She seems to be very close with Su Han.”
“Hmm?”
Chen Yifu frowned. He had a bad hunch.
“She’s my sister, Xiao Yuran,” Xiao Yuhui said, seemingly knowing what Chen Yifu and the others were thinking.
“What?!”
“This stunning beauty… is Xiao Yuhui’s sister?”
“Impossible! The rumors say that the second daughter of the Xiao Clan is extremely ugly and doesn’t even dare to show her face.”
“Who cares about looks? Since this woman is Xiao Yuhui’s sister, and she calls Su Han her husband… then doesn’t that make Su Han Xiao Yuhui’s brother-in-law?”
An uproar rang out from the crowd.
Chen Yifu’s face was extremely unsightly, and Lin Chengsong’s was even more so.
Previously, there had only been rumors that Su Han was about to marry the second daughter of the Xiao Clan, but that hadn’t happened yet. However, now, with Xiao Yuran calling Su Han her husband, how would he be able to avenge his son’s death?
“Hee hee… Li’l Husband Su Han, we meet again.”
Xiao Yuran hopped off the Spirit Kirin and ran towards Su Han. She wrapped herself around Su Han’s arm intimately.
Feeling a warm softness and pleasant aroma coming from beside him, Su Han said helplessly, “Don’t call me your husband, and don’t call me ‘li’l Su Han’. Haven’t I told you that already?”
“You’re younger than me, and you’re my husband. What else could I call you other than Li’l Husband Su Han?” Xiao Yuran snorted tenderly.
Su Han rolled his eyes and decided to ignore her.
“Su Han is the son-in-law of the Xiao Clan, and he is also my brother-in-law. Today, I have come to bring him to the Xiao Clan and make him our clan’s live-in son-in-law1!” Xiao Yuhui said with a clear voice.
Lin Chengsong got anxious and said immediately, “Elder Yuhui, I have come today to avenge my son’s death. I …”
“I have already heard about this.”
Without waiting for Lin Chengsong to finish, Xiao Yuhui said, “Your son’s death was due to him being cocky and bossy, and forcing Su Han to kneel. In my opinion, Su Han didn’t do anything wrong.”
“But…”
“Moreover, Su Han is my brother-in-law. You dare lay a finger on him?” Xiao Yuhui interrupted Lin Chengsong again, being extremely overbearing.
Lin Chengsong’s face darkened, but he didn’t say another word.
Evidently, Xiao Yuhui wanted to protect Su Han. Considering Xiao Yuhui’s current status, the Lin Clan did not dare to act presumptuously around her.
“And you.”
Xiao Yuhui turned to look at Chen Yifu. “Your son didn’t die; he only kowtowed to my brother-in-law, which he deserved. Why have you come to add trouble to the situation?”
“I’ll leave right now, immediately.”
Chen Yifu nodded and gave a dry laugh. Then, he waved his hand, and everyone from the Chen Clan retreated.
Chen Yifu wasn’t stupid. Moreover, Xiao Yuhui was right—only a guest official had died instead of his son. There wasn’t a need to be in a bad relationship with the rising superstar Xiao Yuhui over such a small matter.
