Su Xuefeng Coughed Up Blood

These words were Sikong Jing's warning to Su Xuefeng, as well as a declaration to Su Yuexi's family.

After all, Su Xuefeng was Su Yuexi's grandfather, and he did not want to see Su Zhenglong and his father turn against each other. If they could reconcile, Sikong Jing would be more than happy to see it.

But all of this depended on Su Xuefeng's conduct.

"Let bygones be bygones? Execute without mercy? Who do you think you are?"

"You are nothing but a criminal, and Su Yuexi is just a shameful, ugly freak."

Unfortunately, Su Xuefeng laughed coldly, his wild shouting incessant.

Finally, he threatened coldly, "Su Shan will return soon, and you, little criminal, won't be around much longer. I'll just wait for you to be beaten to death by Su Shan at my birthday banquet."

Having said that, Su Xuefeng led the others away from Su Yuexi's courtyard, his heart overflowing with hatred.

Watching them disappear, Mei Xiaofang finally let out a long breath, her entire body collapsing to the ground.

Su Yuexi wept with joy; the scene that had just unfolded was too terrifying for her. One wrong move, and her entire family would have perished.

At this moment, Su Zhenglong also withdrew his internal energy with a pale face, his body swaying unsteadily.

The three of them dared not delay, quickly helping him back to his room to rest.

Meanwhile, Su Xuefeng and his group, having left Su Yuexi's courtyard, were about to explode with rage.

Su Zhengtao gritted his teeth and said, "That damn criminal, he clearly broke out of the city by force, so how did it turn into a meritorious deed?"

They had racked their brains but could not figure it out, so they could only attribute it to Sikong Jing having incredible luck.

They guessed that after breaking out of the city, he must have happened upon Qiu Ye during an operation and provided some minor assistance.

Just then, a servant ran up to report, "Old Master, Patriarch Chu Rongxian of the Chu Family is here to see you."

Su Xuefeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately became ecstatic. "It seems Chu Rongxian has agreed."

Twenty years ago, there were only three major families in Yunye City. The Su Clan only rose to prominence later due to Su Zhenglong's sudden breakthrough, and combined with the fact that Su Xuefeng's own cultivation level was not weak, they managed to secure a spot among the four major families.

However, the other three families remained unfriendly toward the Su Clan as latecomers.

Therefore, Su Xuefeng had recently been intentionally drawing closer to the Chu Family.

Su Zhenglong had already proven himself useless, with no possibility of recovery. Since the Su Clan only had one expert at the Human Realm level, they certainly could not continue to go head-to-head with the other three major families and needed to find a partner.

Thus, he had proposed a matter to the Chu Family.

Now that Chu Rongxian had come to visit, he must have agreed.

Nearby, Su Yun, who had been in a foul mood, hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, is it about me marrying Chu Bo?"

The matter Su Xuefeng had proposed was indeed an alliance between the Chu and Su families, marrying Su Yun off to the Chu Family's eldest son, Chu Bo.

"Indeed." Su Xuefeng nodded with a smile.

However, Su Zhengtao said with some reluctance, "Although Chu Bo is the eldest son of the Chu Family, he is usually a debauched playboy with pathetic martial arts skills. I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for Xiao Yun to marry into that family, would it?"

Su Yun was the apple of Su Zhengtao's eye, so he felt Chu Bo was unworthy.

"Heh heh, it's precisely because his martial arts are pathetic that he is easy to control."

"Although Chu Bo is a debauched playboy, he considers himself the eldest son of the Chu Family and has always coveted the position of Patriarch."

"He is also very dissatisfied with his younger brothers."

"After Xiao Yun marries into the family, she can whisper in his ear. Once we wait for Su Shan to step into the Human Realm, we can begin to control Chu Bo step by step, helping him eliminate all his brothers and become the Patriarch of the Chu Family."

"Finally, we will turn him into a puppet for our Su Clan."

Su Xuefeng explained triumphantly, his calculations clicking into place perfectly.

His eldest grandson, Su Shan, possessed immense talent—in Su Xuefeng's eyes, he was no less capable than Su Zhenglong in his youth. Therefore, he wanted to pave the way for Su Shan and turn Yunye City into the Su Clan's domain once and for all.

Hearing this explanation, Su Zhengtao and his daughter were relieved.

As long as the plan succeeded, Su Yun could have as many men as she wanted later; what did it matter if she suffered a little now?

Soon, the three of them greeted Chu Rongxian at the entrance of the Su Mansion.

Su Xuefeng smiled and said, "Patriarch Chu, I knew you would agree. Xiao Yun, come over and pay your respects to your future father-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun wore a coy smile and bowed slightly. "Patriarch Chu, Xiao Yun greets you."

Slap!

The next instant, Chu Rongxian struck Su Yun hard across the face. Her smile vanished, and she let out a miserable shriek as she was sent flying.

Su Xuefeng and Su Zhengtao were stunned, exclaiming in unison, "Chu Rongxian, what are you doing?"

Hearing this, Chu Rongxian's murderous intent boiled over. "What am I doing? I should be the one asking what you, Su Xuefeng, are trying to do!"

"My eldest son, Chu Bo, was forced by someone from your Su Clan to kneel in the middle of the street and shout three times that Su Yuexi is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Are you trying to declare war on my Chu Family?"

Chu Rongxian shouted sharply, his killing intent and internal energy surging violently.

Su Xuefeng and the others were left dumbfounded. What was going on?

"This slap is just a little bit of interest. We shall see," Chu Rongxian said, turning and walking away.

Leaving Su Xuefeng and the other two in a state of utter bewilderment, Su Yun covered her face and shrieked, "What the hell is this? Only a ghost would force Chu Bo to say that ugly freak Su Yuexi is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

Su Xuefeng was equally confused and hurriedly sent men to investigate.

When they discovered the incident at the Heaven Martial Pavilion, they couldn't help but roar in fury, "That criminal, it's that criminal again!"

Pfft...

Su Xuefeng spat out a mouthful of blood. Just because that criminal had forced Chu Bo to kneel, their well-laid plans had completely fallen through.

"Bastard! Su Yuexi, I'm going to kill your entire family!" Su Yun screamed in a fit of rage.

At this moment, a table of fine wine and food was laid out in Su Yuexi's courtyard.

With the Gold Crystal Coins brought by Sikong Jing, they were finally no longer strapped for cash, but as the main branch of the Su Clan, they were now left without a single servant and had to do everything themselves.

Yet, Su Yuexi was at least enjoying it; she found this life quite pleasant.

Just then, Mei Xiaofang sat down and said, "Although we have quite a bit of money on hand now, we still cannot spend it recklessly. Treating your father's illness is the priority; Doctor Sun said the upcoming medicine will not be cheap."

A single dose of medicine cost three Gold Crystal Coins—it was practically burning money.

"Mother-in-law, you need not worry. I can earn more money," Sikong Jing said with a smile.

He still had two Green Jade Slates on hand; carving them would yield another two hundred Gold Crystal Coins, which was easy enough.

However, Mei Xiaofang glared at him unhappily and huffed, "Do you think you'll be this lucky every time? Just because you happened to rob Hengyu Pawnshop of one hundred Gold Crystal Coins and didn't have to pay it back?"

Uh?

Sikong Jing quickly replied, "You've misunderstood. Those one hundred Gold Crystal Coins from Hengyu Pawnshop were already used to redeem the Jadeite Hairpin."

"That's right, Mother. Sikong Jing's money wasn't stolen."

Su Yuexi added, having seen with her own eyes that Sikong Jing had produced a large number of Gold Crystal Coins.

At that time, they hadn't even gone to Hengyu Pawnshop yet.

Glancing sideways at the pair, Mei Xiaofang continued, "Stop singing the same tune. Stolen is stolen. And the Jadeite Hairpin was only returned for free because of the Beast Bandit Group incident and Qiu Ye's influence, wasn't it?"

Sikong Jing was left speechless. He feared that even if he told her he could carve Yellow Grade High Tier martial skills, Mei Xiaofang wouldn't believe him.
