The Yuan Family's Shock! [Seeking Flowers, Collections, and Reviews!]

The vehicle drove all the way into the Core Area.

"Guest Elder Su truly has remarkable talent! To become a Senior Quasi-Warrior at the age of seventeen—how enviable!"

Yuan Qi sat beside Su Xiaobai, speaking with a smile. "No wonder the Family Head values talent so much, appointing you as our Zhang Family's guest elder."

To avoid drawing attention, Su Xiaobai deliberately suppressed his spiritual energy fluctuations to the level of a Senior Quasi-Warrior... A seventeen-year-old Senior Quasi-Warrior was rare, but not unheard of; however, those who reached this level at such an age were usually from major families—ordinary people could hardly manage it.

"Pure luck!"

"By the way, you said you're from the Zhang Family, but I don't recall seeing you there before."

Su Xiaobai asked knowingly.

"I was previously dispatched outside the base and haven't been inside it for a while, so it's only natural you wouldn't know me!"

Yuan Qi's explanation was smooth and seamless.

"Oh, I see~"

"Huh? It seems we've taken the wrong road, haven't we? I remember the route to the Zhang Family should be that way!"

Su Xiaobai suddenly pointed out the window, looking puzzled.

"This meeting is very important. The Family Head changed the location to prevent other families from spying or eavesdropping."

"This is within the Core Area—no one dares to cause trouble here, wouldn't you agree?"

Yuan Qi said with a grin.

"That's true!" Su Xiaobai nodded matter-of-factly.

A moment later, they arrived.

But the place they reached was none other than the Yuan Manor!

Yuan Qi and his people had investigated beforehand: Su Xiaobai had only been to the Core Area once, with no trace of him since, so it was highly likely he had no idea what the Yuan Manor looked like.

"Guest Elder Su, please!"

After getting out of the car, Yuan Qi led Su Xiaobai into the manor. Su Xiaobai's relaxed demeanor, showing no sign of vigilance, only confirmed Yuan Qi's assumption.

In truth, even if Su Xiaobai recognized it, it wouldn't matter.

The moment he got into the car, Yuan Qi had already locked onto him... An Intermediate Martial Master dealing with a Senior Quasi-Warrior—wouldn't that be effortless, a sure catch?

Soon, they entered the Yuan Family's Reception Hall.

Inside the Reception Hall, Yuan Feihe and all the Yuan Family high-ranking members were present, waiting.

When they saw Su Xiaobai, their gazes sharpened!

"Indeed a Senior Quasi-Warrior!"

"A prodigy from youth!"

"The Zhang Family's luck is decent... Pity this little fellow isn't so fortunate!"

"..."

Every Yuan Family high-ranking member thought to themselves, murderous intent lurking deep in their eyes.

"Why don't I recognize anyone here?"

"Did you take the wrong way?"

As soon as Su Xiaobai entered the Reception Hall, he put on a puzzled expression.

"Guest Elder Su, he didn't take the wrong way—I asked to see you!"

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Yuan Feihe, the Yuan Family Head!"

Yuan Feihe announced with a smile and a clear voice.

The moment his words fell, the doors of the Reception Hall slammed shut.

"The Yuan Family?!"

"What are you trying to do?"

Su Xiaobai's "expression changed drastically," showing a "panicked look."

"Guest Elder Su, calm down!"

Yuan Feihe sat in the seat of honor, chuckling. "I imagine you've heard something of the feud between our Yuan Family and the Zhang Family, haven't you?"

"I won't hide it from you—the Yuan Family and the Zhang Family are irreconcilable... Ever since that Zhang Henglong broke one of my third brother's arms, I swore that between the Yuan and Zhang families, it would be a fight to the death!"

"Guest Elder Su, you are a genius!"

"At not even seventeen, you've reached Senior Quasi-Warrior—your Cultivation Aptitude far surpasses ordinary people!"

"Zhang Henglong certainly has depth, appointing a Senior Quasi-Warrior as a guest elder, intending to invest in the Zhang Family's future... But I'd advise you, Guest Elder Su: the Zhang Family is already on its last legs. The Yuan Family truly has a bright future ahead!"

"Guest Elder Su, why not consider it? Abandon the dark for the light, join my Yuan Family, and seek wealth and glory together—how about it?"

Yuan Feihe stared intently at Su Xiaobai.

The reason he hadn't killed Su Xiaobai outright was precisely this scheme... If he could recruit such a genius to his side, the Zhang Family would surely be even more furious and humiliated when they found out!

"Join the Yuan Family?"

Su Xiaobai deliberately repeated the words.

"That's right. Whatever the Zhang Family promised you, my Yuan Family can give you double!"

"What the Zhang Family can't give you, my Yuan Family can still give you!"

"In this world, the strong rule. Guest Elder Su, with cultivation aptitude like yours, you ought to stand with the strong, isn't that so?"

Yuan Feihe smiled.

"Oh? So you're saying you can give me more money?"

"Guest Elder Su can name any conditions he wishes!"

Yuan Feihe's face was full of confidence.

"Fine then. I won't ask for much. How about this—first, give me a billion Spirit Coins, what do you say?"

The moment Su Xiaobai said this, Yuan Feihe's face fell.

The other Yuan Family members present also turned frosty. Instantly, the entire atmosphere in the Reception Hall froze, the temperature dropping several degrees!

"Guest Elder Su, this kind of joke isn't funny at all!"

Yuan Feihe's tone grew cold. "I sincerely invite you, yet you toy with me like this—that's not very appropriate, is it?"

"Toy with you?"

Su Xiaobai dropped his earlier pretense and let out a soft laugh.

He walked straight forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down naturally.

"Just now, I told you that reaching Senior Quasi-Warrior at my age meant my cultivation talent was extremely high, that I was a malleable genius... So you were willing to offer me generous compensation. Correct?"

Su Xiaobai's lips curled. "But what if I told you I'm not a Senior Quasi-Warrior?"

Not a Senior Quasi-Warrior?

What did that mean?

Just as everyone was baffled, suddenly, the spiritual energy fluctuations around Su Xiaobai began to surge!

"Beginner Warrior?!"

"He... he broke through to Beginner Warrior?"

Someone exclaimed in shock.

But soon, others sensed something was off.

"Wait! This is... the spiritual energy fluctuation of an Intermediate Warrior!"

"What the hell?! Jumping two realms at once?! That's impossible!"

From Senior Quasi-Warrior straight to Intermediate Warrior... Every Yuan Family member present was stunned, their faces filled with horror!

And then.

Something even more terrifying appeared.

"Hiss—"

"Advanced Warrior!! It's the aura of an Advanced Warrior!!"

"Heavens... oh heavens... Ad... Advanced Warrior?!"

"Am I sensing this wrong... he's only seventeen!"

Even Yuan Feihe was so horrified that his scalp tingled, his hair standing on end. His mouth hung open, eyes wide, utterly dumbfounded, his face nothing but shock!

In just two breaths.

Su Xiaobai had gone from Senior Quasi-Warrior straight to Advanced Warrior!

One word's difference, a world apart!

"Yuan Family Head, do you still think that my mention of a billion just now was a joke?"

Su Xiaobai said calmly.
