"Xiaoxue, do not be rude."
The Old Man lying in the chair opened his eyes, his face showing weakness, and he spoke to Zhou Yingxue.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Old Man couldn't help but cough violently, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
His injury was in his lower back, and the violent coughing caused the injury to reopen, immediately soaking his clothes with blood.
Seeing this, Zhou Yingxue disregarded Su Chen and said with tears in her eyes:
"Grandfather, don't scare me!"
Her expression was filled with panic. Her Grandfather was her only relative, and she really didn't know what to do if Grandfather died.
The Old Man looked at Zhou Yingxue, his face showing a mixture of doting affection and worry. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and then looked towards Su Chen at the door.
"Young master, my granddaughter didn't mean it, please don't take offense."
He could sense that Su Chen didn't harbor much hostility, which meant that the other party and Su Wanggui were not on the same side at all.
"Xiaoxue, hurry up and apologize to the young master."
Zhou Yingxue wasn't stupid; she immediately realized what was happening. She sniffed, knelt down before Su Chen, and said, "Young Master, I'm sorry."
Although Su Chen did not display the Su Family's identity Token, one could tell from his attire and demeanor that he was at least Collateral Line the family, or even possibly a Direct Line descendant.
But neither Collateral Line nor Direct Line are people they can afford to offend.
Zhou Yingxue's eyes were filled with worry and fear. The matter with Su Wanggui had not been resolved yet, and if she offended another young master of the Su Family, then everything would really be over.
The Within the Su Family relationships. If you are of low status, you absolutely cannot offend someone of higher status than you, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Su Chen simply waved his hand indifferently.
"Get up."
Then, he looked at the Old Man lying in the chair. The old man's injuries were so severe that he would not survive unless there was a Divine Medicine.
Judging from their appearance, they didn't seem like people who possessed such medicine.
Seeing this, the Old Man's tense expression relaxed slightly, and he forced a fawning smile, "Thank you for your magnanimity, young master."
He was well aware of his situation; there was basically no way to reverse it.
It didn't really matter if he died; he wasn't particularly talented and didn't have many years to live anyway. But the only thing he couldn't let go of was Zhou Yingxue.
Su Chen took two steps forward, and Zhou Yingxue immediately stood nervously in front of the Old Man, her face full of defensiveness and caution.
He was worried that Su Chen might harm his Grandfather.
Zhou Yingxue grew up in the Within the Su Family and never had a good life; she basically belonged to the lowest class of people.
As someone who had been bullied by the powerful and influential members of the Su Family since childhood, Zhou Yingxue was naturally very wary of them.
"Xiaoxue, you mustn't be rude."
Upon seeing this, the Old Man immediately reprimanded him.
Su Chen waved his hand. "It's alright."
As he spoke, he asked with some curiosity.
"Your ancestor must have been Zhou Qiyun, the Steward the Su Family Inner Court, right?"
Upon hearing this name, the Old Man trembled. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief. How could someone in the Su Family know his father's name?
The Old Man quickly replied, "The person you're referring to, young master, is my father."
My father?
Su Chen suddenly realized why the Bloodline felt so clear to him; it turned out to be a direct relative from recent times. If it were two generations later, Su Chen might not have been able to sense it at all.
Su Chen raised his hand and waved it, and the Old Man's injuries were completely healed.
He remembered Zhou Qiyun; he was very diligent in his work in the Inner Court, and Su Chen had even specifically instructed him to do things on several occasions.
Unexpectedly, he is no longer here.
Su Chen was indeed somewhat surprised.
Since I provided the Su Family with so many resources, surely those members of the Su Family who were still in the Lower Realm wouldn't perish due to lifespan issues?
He frowned slightly, then raised his hand to perform some calculations.
A short while.
Su Chen's eyes narrowed instantly, and a cold, piercing killing intent burst forth from them.
Something was definitely off.
Now.
The Old Man looked at himself with confusion.
Am I... all better now?
He felt no pain at all in the area where his chest was injured, and his whole body felt incredibly comfortable, as if he had returned to his twenties, full of energy.
Even if Zhou Erpu were stupid, he would know that the person in front of him was definitely a big shot in the Su Family.
Being able to remember his father's name and react in such a way suggests he was likely one of the original members of the Su Family.
Those people are now standing at the very top of the Su Family.
That is, the Ancestor of the Su Family!
"Thank Zhou Erpu so much, sir, for saving my life!"
Zhou Yingxue was initially shocked to see her Grandfather's condition improve, and she was also puzzled as to what had happened.
But after seeing Zhou Erpu kneel down, she finally realized what was happening and quickly knelt down as well.
Zhou Yingxue's face was filled with fear. When her Grandfather had just had the accident, she had asked many people for help, but the answer she received was always one of utter despair.
Because Zhou Erpu's injuries had already damaged his very foundation, the only way to save his life and Cultivation Level from being affected was through an extremely powerful medicine.
But that kind of treasure is extremely precious, and with their strength, it's impossible for them to obtain it.
However, Su Chen healed his Grandfather's injuries with a mere wave of his hand, without using any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. This was enough to demonstrate that the other party's identity and strength were absolutely terrifying.
They are definitely core members of the Su Family.
Zhou Yingxue's face was filled with fear. She remembered that she had confronted him with a dagger earlier. If he had blamed her, they would have been doomed.
Su Chen waved his hand, a gentle smile on his face:
"You may come with me."
Zhou Qiyun had made significant contributions to the Su Family in the past, and now that he had been unjustly accused, Su Chen naturally wanted to make amends to his descendants.
Although Zhou Erpu didn't know exactly where Su Chen meant by "leaving," he was very clear that their chance to Defy Heaven and Change Fate had arrived.
He looked excited, and his breathing became rapid.
"Thank you, sir."
However, at that moment, footsteps sounded outside the Courtyard.
Soon, several figures walked in. They were dressed in fine clothes, and their faces all carried an air of arrogance.
The leader stood with his hands behind his back, his face arrogant.
After they took a clear look at the situation in the Courtyard, they couldn't help but frown slightly.
Upon seeing the newcomer, both Zhou Erpu and Zhou Yingxue's expressions Great Upheaval drastically. Zhou Erpu immediately shielded Zhou Yingxue behind him, his eyes filled with vigilance as he looked at the leader.
"Young Master Su Wanggui, what brings you here?"
Su Wanggui's expression darkened upon hearing this. He looked down at Zhou Erpu with disdain in his eyes. "Is there any place in the Su Family that I can't come to?"
"But you, your injury healed quite quickly."
