Coming to the Door to Ask for an Accounting

Su Mo opened the courtyard gate.

Outside the gate stood a middle-aged man in his forties, his face cold and indifferent.

The person who arrived was none other than the Su family's Fourth Elder, Su Tai.

"Fourth Elder, what business do you have with me?" Su Mo asked coldly.

"Hmph! Su Mo, hurry to the assembly hall."

Su Tai sneered, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.

"The assembly hall? What am I going to the assembly hall for?"

Su Mo asked, confused.

Su Tai was full of impatience, and he berated, "Why ask so many questions? You'll know when you get there."

"Hmph!" Su Mo snorted and strode towards the assembly hall.

"A good-for-nothing like him, what's there to be proud of? Let's see how you die today!"

Su Tai sneered as he watched Su Mo's retreating back, then quickly followed.

The assembly hall.

Su Hong sat at the head seat.

Below him, on the left, were several elders of the Su family, as well as some younger disciples of the Su family.

On the right were people from the Wei family, five in total: two middle-aged men and three youths. They were all aggressive, looking like they were there to demand an explanation.

"Why hasn't Su Mo arrived yet?"

Among the Wei family members, a middle-aged man in brocade robes spoke sinisterly.

"Heh heh, the Fourth Elder has already gone to find him. He should be here any moment."

An elder of the Su family replied with a fawning smile.

"Su Mo injured my son this time. How does your Su family plan to deal with this?"

Another middle-aged man from the Wei family asked. This person was none other than the Wei family's Patriarch, Wei Wankong.

"This..."

The Su family elders were speechless. They all wanted to say, "Deal with him however you Wei family see fit," but they glanced at Su Hong, who had yet to speak, and none dared to say it first.

No one wanted to be the first to provoke Su Hong.

"Su Hong, your son injured my son and crippled his cultivation. If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, my Wei family will not let it go."

Wei Wankong swept his gaze over everyone coldly, his eyes falling on Su Hong at the head seat.

"Su Mo is unscrupulous and harmed your young master. He should be handed over to Patriarch Wei for him to deal with."

Before Su Hong could speak, the Great Elder spoke first.

At this moment, the Great Elder's eyes were full of schadenfreude.

"Presumptuous!"

Su Hong suddenly let out a cold reprimand, looking at the Great Elder. "Great Elder, are you the Patriarch or am I? When did it become your turn to make decisions?"

"You...!"

The Great Elder was furious but could not refute, his face immediately turning ashen.

"Patriarch Wei, this matter has not yet been clarified. We can only make a judgment after my son arrives."

Su Hong then said to Wei Wankong.

"Hmph! I hope the outcome of your xử lý will satisfy me!" Wei Wankong said with a cold smile.

"We will definitely satisfy Patriarch Wei!" The Su family elders replied with awkward smiles.

Some of the Su family elders were inwardly cursing Su Mo.

"Who else could Su Mo have provoked, but the Wei family!"

"This good-for-nothing really knows how to cause trouble for the family!"

None of the elders were willing to offend the Wei family. Although the Su family and the Wei family were both considered major families, the Wei family was considerably stronger than the Su family.

Due to their different foundations, the Wei family had been entrenched in Linyang City for over two hundred years, possessing deep roots.

The Su family, on the other hand, had only developed in the past few decades, and their foundation was far inferior to the Wei family's.

Seeing the demeanor of these Su family elders, the Wei family members couldn't help but curl their lips into a cold sneer, their brows filled with disdain.

Everyone waited quietly.

The atmosphere was filled with tension.

A short while later, footsteps could be heard from outside the door.

Su Mo and the Fourth Elder walked in together.

"Su Mo, do you know your crime?"

As Su Mo walked into the hall, the Great Elder suddenly shouted.

"Confess your guilt?" Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he looked at the Great Elder, saying, "Great Elder, what wrong have I done? Why should I confess?"

"You are unscrupulous, you harmed the Wei family's second young master, you are scum of our Su family, you disgrace our Su family, and you still want to deny it?" The Great Elder's gaze sank, his aura overbearing. As soon as he spoke, he intended to confirm Su Mo's guilt.

"Su Mo, quickly tell us in detail how you harmed the Wei family's second young master." The Fourth Elder, Su Tai, also spoke coldly.

Several other elders echoed his sentiment. With the Great Elder leading the way, they naturally had no reservations.

At this point, all the elders of the Su family could be said to be standing with the Great Elder.

The Great Elder was not only powerful himself, not much inferior to Su Hong, but he also had a genius son.

Su Yu possessed a Human Grade Fifth Tier Martial Soul and was the number one genius of the Su family. He would surely lead the Su family in the future.

The Wei family members, however, remained silent, observing everything with cold eyes.

"Unscrupulous? Scum?" Su Mo couldn't help but burst into laughter, then coldly shouted, "I want to ask you elders, as soon as I arrive, you call me unscrupulous and scum of the Su family, demanding I confess. You don't know anything, so how can you declare me guilty?"

Su Mo glanced at the Wei family members and understood the situation. It seemed the Wei family had come to cause trouble!

"How dare you still quibble?" the Great Elder roared, his face ashen.

Su Mo's eyes were filled with coldness as he said, "Great Elder, you want me to confess without listening to my explanation. Does your word alone make me guilty? Is everything I say considered quibbling? Are you an elder of the Su family, or an elder of the Wei family?"

"You...!" The Great Elder was furious. He hadn't expected this good-for-nothing to be so sharp-tongued.

"Alright, Mo'er, tell us what happened in detail." Su Hong spoke, his slightly narrowed eyes glancing at the Great Elder, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"Good!" Immediately, Su Mo recounted the events in detail.

However, Su Mo did not mention Su Qingqing's name, only stating that Wei Lin had forcibly abducted a civilian girl.

Su Qingqing was merely an ordinary disciple of the Su family, and Su Mo did not want to cause her trouble.

"Hmph!" As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, Wei Wankong let out a reprimand, "You beast, you injured my son. Regardless of the reason, you deserve to die."

"Indeed, your methods are so cruel, this crime warrants execution!"

"If you provoke my Wei family, you must be prepared to die!" The Wei family members began to clamor.

"Wei Lin intended to break my limbs and cripple my Dantian, which is why I was forced to cripple him." Su Mo, his expression indifferent, did not look at the Wei family members. He asked, "Esteemed elders, if someone intends to cripple me, am I not allowed to fight back? If I fight back, am I guilty?"

"If someone from our Su family is bullied outside, we can only let them be bullied, and if we injure someone, we are guilty." Su Mo's words were incisive, causing the Great Elder and the others to turn grim and fall silent.

"Patriarch Wei, the situation is clear. Your son intended to break my son's limbs and cripple his Dantian, which is why my son was forced to act. Everything was brought upon your son by himself."

"Impossible!" Wei Wankong roared, his face sinister. "My son suffered this cruel fate entirely because of your son. Today, if you do not hand over this beast, you will face the wrath of my Wei family!"

"Hmph! Scum like your son, crippling him is eliminating a menace to society!" Su Mo said disdainfully.

"Beast, you are seeking death!" Wei Wankong roared, suddenly lunging towards Su Mo.

His entire being erupted with a chilling killing intent that enveloped the surroundings.
