The Sun Family's Character

The speaker was Sun Daoming.

Sun Daoming had originally been dispatched with Jiang Shuo to investigate the matter at Dream Red Pavilion, so he hadn't deliberately excluded Jiang Shuo during their conversation.

"Shut up," Feng En said, turning his head to reprimand him.

Sun Daoming cast a disdainful glance at Jiang Shuo. Ultimately, out of respect for Feng En's position, he said no more.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Daoming and Jiang Shuo were both sent to investigate Mad Saber Sect. Their results were the same: one retreated safely, while the other was surrounded and had to be rescued by the sect's forces. It's quite clear who is stronger. Yet, even with the facts laid bare, the sect shows Jiang Shuo great favor. Daoming is young, so it's understandable he might blurt out his grievances. It's excusable," Sun Man added, seemingly explaining for Sun Daoming, but actually maliciously belittling Jiang Shuo.

"When Hundred Flowers Sect confronted Mad Saber Sect, it was Jiang Shuo who stepped forward, fighting Chen Xian despite the disparity in strength, upholding the sect's dignity," Li Zicheng said indignantly, defending Jiang Shuo.

"Heh, you need to understand the context. If Jiang Shuo had successfully escaped earlier, how would my Hundred Flowers Sect have been put in such a difficult position trying to rescue him? Jiang Shuo was lucky to defeat Chen Xian. If a major war had broken out between the two sects because of him, he would have been the sinner of Hundred Flowers Sect!" Sun Man retorted sharply and mercilessly.

Regardless, Jiang Shuo had infiltrated Mad Saber Sect's Forbidden Ground under orders from Hundred Flowers Sect. Even if he found nothing, he deserved credit for his effort, if not for his achievement. Yet, in just a few words, Sun Man had turned Jiang Shuo into a useless sinner who caused more harm than good.

What made it worse was that Sun Man's words were based on certain facts. Li Zicheng was furious but was still rendered speechless.

Li Zicheng and his faction were in a heated argument with Sun Man's father, neither willing to back down.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room turned strange, the air slowly solidifying.

"Alright, let's not bring this up again..." Finally, Feng En stepped in, attempting to break the invisible barrier.

If they were to truly investigate the matter, Jiang Shuo's performance was indeed slightly inferior to Sun Daoming's. The sect's all-out effort to rescue Jiang Shuo, while partly due to his predicament while serving the sect, was also undeniably influenced by Feng En's personal feelings.

"Master, wait!" Jiang Shuo suddenly spoke, interrupting Feng En.

"Hm?" Feng En turned his head, looking at Jiang Shuo in surprise. He saw a flicker of anger in the young man's eyes and felt a sudden sense of foreboding.

Jiang Shuo was young and impulsive. Being publicly humiliated like this, how could he swallow such an insult? Feng En feared that Jiang Shuo might fly into a rage and act impulsively, causing internal strife within the sect and giving Sun Man and his son an excuse to seize power. Even Feng En wouldn't be able to protect Jiang Shuo then.

"Jiang Shuo, don't take it to heart..." Feng En's thoughts raced as he decided to dissuade Jiang Shuo.

"Sun Daoming!" Jiang Shuo suddenly roared.

The shout was deafening, startling not only Sun Daoming himself but also everyone else in the room.

For a moment, all eyes turned to Jiang Shuo.

Jiang Shuo, who had been leaning against a pillow, half-sitting on the bed, abruptly turned his upper body as he shouted, staring directly at Sun Daoming.

His eyes were like beastly pupils hidden in the night, as deep as a dark pool, concealing a dangerous killing intent.

Sun Daoming shivered, his heart skipping a beat, an uncontrollable fear welling up inside him.

That roar, like a thunderous drum, struck directly at his soul. Sun Daoming froze as if struck by lightning.

"What, are you furious and want to fight? This is Hundred Flowers Sect, not Mad Saber Sect!" Sun Man also shouted, naturally supporting his son.

Jiang Shuo shifted his gaze slightly, glancing at Sun Man without any fear.

He looked back at Sun Daoming, his expression resolute and his tone solemn: "Sun Daoming, when you first entered Mad Saber Sect, you were arrogant and didn't use Sleeping Powder to knock out their disciples, thus handing them a handle against you. Do you remember? When you and I entered the Forbidden Ground together, we agreed to stall Chen Xian. You abandoned me to face Chen Xian alone and fled, do you remember? In the secret area behind the mountain, when you were being chased by Mad Saber Sect disciples, you led them to my hiding place to escape. Have you forgotten that too?"

Jiang Shuo leaned forward slightly, his eyes shooting out icy glints, and continued: "If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been killed by you long ago! How laughable, how laughable! I didn't pursue the matter, yet you, the villain, accuse me first, belittling me to elevate yourself! In my entire life, I've never met such a shameless person!"

As if struck by lightning, Sun Daoming's expression turned unsightly, and he was speechless.

After Jiang Shuo's words, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed.

Sun Daoming would never have brought up these embarrassing incidents himself, but spoken by Jiang Shuo, they caused a tidal wave of shock.

Feng En, Elder Bian, and the others knew Jiang Shuo wouldn't lie and looked at Sun Daoming with a strange expression. Sun Daoming's reaction undoubtedly confirmed their suspicions.

"Sun Daoming, is what Jiang Shuo said true?" Feng En demanded, his tone carrying a hint of anger.
