I, Accept the Challenge!

"Eh, are you having a wedding feast?"

Su Yang wore a wicked grin. At a glance, he spotted the red cloth draped over Su Yuexi's head and sneered, "Uncle, that's not very kind of you. Little Sister Yuexi is getting married, so how could you not invite me?"

Beside him, Su Yun burst out laughing. "Second Brother, this is the kind of wedding even pigs wouldn't attend. How could Uncle have the face to invite us?"

"That's right. She's marrying an exiled criminal. The Su Clan's reputation has been dragged through the mud."

The siblings traded barbs, their eyes full of contempt.

Mei Xiaofang's face turned livid. She snapped, "Su Yang, Su Yun, get out! You're not welcome in my home."

Though she never said it aloud, Su Yuexi had nearly been punished with a beating, and the memory was etched deeply in her heart. She hated Su Yun for it.

Unfortunately, the siblings merely shrugged, completely unfazed.

Su Yang even plopped down without a care and gave a mocking smile. "Aunt, do you want to know why my father pleaded on Su Yuexi's behalf? Why Grandfather agreed to let Su Yuexi come home?"

The two questions filled Mei Xiaofang with suspicion. She couldn't figure out what Su Zhengtao and that old geezer were plotting.

Bang...

Suddenly, the chair beneath Su Yang shattered into pieces. He sprang to his feet and stared straight at Su Zhenglong. "Because I'll personally cripple your criminal son-in-law's limbs! That's why Grandfather was in a good mood and agreed!"

The family of three all went pale.

Su Zhenglong immediately rose to his feet, true energy stirring faintly around him. He barked, "You dare?"

So the reason Old Master Su Xuefeng had agreed to let Yuexi leave the Pig Farm was to cripple Sikong Jing and help Su Zhengtao save face after what had happened at the Law Enforcement Hall.

Just then, Su Yun let out a cold laugh. "Uncle, are you going to bully someone younger than you?"

Su Zhenglong's expression stiffened.

Those were the very words he had said to Su Zhengtao at the Su Clan Enforcement Hall.

Su Yang ignored Su Zhenglong and pointed at Sikong Jing, looking down on him as he declared, "Criminal, you and I are of the same generation. I'm challenging you. Do you dare accept?"

As he spoke, true energy surged throughout Su Yang's body. He was clearly at the eighth level of the Bright Realm.

Sikong Jing remained expressionless as he slowly rose to his feet.

The next moment, Su Yuexi stopped him. "You can't accept. Su Yang is at the eighth level of the Bright Realm. You can't beat him."

Her father had said that Sikong Jing was only at the fourth level of the Bright Realm. The difference between them was a whole twofold!

"Grandfather said that if you, criminal, don't dare accept the challenge, you'll take that ugly freak Su Yuexi and crawl back to the Pig Farm."

"You'll live there for the rest of your lives, demoted to servants of Su Mansion and raising pigs for the whole household."

Su Yang had already guessed that Su Zhenglong's family wouldn't dare let Sikong Jing accept, so he made his threat outright.

Cough, cough, cough...

Su Zhenglong began coughing violently, his eyes bloodshot. They were trying to force Sikong Jing to his death!

His father and Su Zhengtao were too ruthless!

But at that moment, Sikong Jing stepped around Su Yuexi and moved forward.

Su Yuexi's face changed. She clutched him tightly and said, "You still can't accept. I'm not afraid of living at the Pig Farm."

Sikong Jing turned to look at Su Yuexi, who was frantic with worry, and spoke one word at a time. "I'm your husband. Now that I'm awake, I won't let you live in a place like that again. That's my responsibility!"

He pulled his hand free from Su Yuexi's grasp and coldly shouted at Su Yang, "I accept the challenge!"

Today was his wedding day, and the day Sikong Jing truly came to understand that the world held both danger and tenderness.

He would fight for his new wife and proclaim his rebirth with his fists.

The Invincible Divine General of the past was gone, but he would transform into a raging beast, tearing apart every injustice and protecting those closest to him.

Behind him, Su Yuexi gazed at Sikong Jing's tall figure, tears falling from her eyes before she even realized it.

She was so ugly. Why was he still so good to her?

He knew he couldn't win, yet he still chose to fight, simply because he couldn't bear to see her suffer. Was this... what it meant to be a husband?

At the same time, Mei Xiaofang's voice trembled. "You little fool! Are you trying to make my daughter a widow on her wedding day?"

Su Zhenglong could only smile bitterly. His son-in-law really was stubborn as a mule. He had probably offended someone that way and ended up exiled.

The father and daughters didn't believe Sikong Jing had even the slightest chance of winning.

"Haha..."

Su Yang threw his head back and laughed. "You've got some guts for a criminal. I, Su Yang, have always been kindhearted. When I break your limbs in a moment, I'll try to make it quick."

He was in high spirits. The criminal really was brainless—one taunt, and he'd accepted the challenge.

"You talk too much!"

Suddenly, Sikong Jing's icy voice rang out beside Su Yang's ear.

Boom!

Su Yang's laughter cut off abruptly. A massive fist appeared before him. He instinctively crossed his arms to block it, but Sikong Jing's voice sounded beside his ear again. "You're too slow!"

With a thud, the fist struck Su Yang squarely in the face!

His vision filled with stars. Su Yang involuntarily flew backward, blood spraying through the air as his body crashed heavily to the ground.

Sikong Jing drifted down, while behind him, Su Yuexi and the others stared in disbelief.
