Su Shan Returns

"Su Xuefeng, your Su Clan is truly impressive. You smashed a treasure like it was trash—absolutely brilliant!"

At this, Lu Zhao could not help but curse.

Su Xuefeng's face turned a shade of green, then red, then white.

Who could have known that the low-grade Green Jade Slate contained such a treasure? Who could have known that a criminal like Sikong Jing would be able to get his hands on something like this?

Regret gnawed at him; if only he had taken a look first.

Why hadn't he listened to Sikong Jing's warning earlier?

"Farewell. With a family head like you, the Su Clan is beyond saving!"

Lu Zhao could not be bothered to say more; he turned and walked away.

However, he stopped before Sikong Jing and said with a humble attitude, "Young Master Sikong, if you have time, please come visit my Heaven Martial Pavilion. If you need Green Jade Tubes, I can acquire them for you."

His eyes held a glimmer of intense hope—it was a sincere invitation.

He already knew that Su Xuefeng disliked Sikong Jing, but he certainly dared not interfere in the affairs of such a mysterious figure.

"I will go if I have the time." Sikong Jing nodded and added, "Wait a moment."

With that, Sikong Jing swaggered over to where Su Xuefeng stood. There was still a box lying on the ground, and he reached in to pull out an intact Green Jade Slate.

In that instant, everyone seemed to stop breathing.

There was a second piece inside the box, and it hadn't been smashed. It was undoubtedly another treasure containing extraordinary Martial Intent.

Sikong Jing held the Green Jade Slate in his hand and gently extended it toward Su Xuefeng...

Just as Su Xuefeng excitedly reached out to take it, Sikong Jing sneered at him, withdrew his hand without hesitation, and tossed it to Lu Zhao in the distance. "It's yours."

"What?" Su Xuefeng's entire body jolted, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Sikong Jing spoke slowly, "Good things should go to those who know their value. Those who are blind don't deserve them."

Meanwhile, Lu Zhao caught the slate and felt it for a moment, his entire body trembling violently.

It really was Profound Grade Low Tier, a piece containing extraordinary Martial Intent!

"Thank you, Young Master Sikong..."

Lu Zhao said this, then looked up at Su Xuefeng and laughed heartily. "And thank you, Grandfather Su! You are truly generous!"

With a loud laugh, he bade farewell to Sikong Jing once more and strode away.

As the sound of Lu Zhao's footsteps faded, the entire Birthday Banquet hall fell into an eerie silence.

Su Xuefeng suppressed his anger, slowed his tone as much as possible, and asked with a hint of expectation, "Jing, Grandfather did indeed act incorrectly. Do you have any more of these Green Jade Slates on you?"

Once these words were spoken, even Su Zhenglong looked at Sikong Jing.

If he could continue to produce such treasures, perhaps his relationship with his father could be mended.

At this moment, his father, Su Xuefeng, had already apologized.

The strongest martial arts technique in the Su Clan was only Profound Grade Low Tier, and whether it even contained extraordinary Martial Intent was a matter of great significance!

Sikong Jing shrugged and said without hesitation, "None left. Do you think these are cabbages sold on the street?"

He sneered inwardly. To him, they were indeed like cabbages, but Su Xuefeng didn't deserve them!

Of course, if Su Xuefeng could change his attitude toward his father-in-law and Su Yuexi and maintain it long-term, he would certainly not treat him poorly.

"You, you... you bastard!"

Su Xuefeng exploded upon hearing this, his attitude shifting instantly. "Why didn't you give me the one from earlier? Are you trying to die?"

His heart was bleeding!

Sikong Jing retorted with a cold laugh, "I did give it to you. Yuexi handed it to you personally, and you were the one who ordered Su Yun to smash it."

Slap!

Suddenly, Su Xuefeng struck Su Yun across the face and roared, "Why did you smash it? Are you trying to anger me to death too?"

Su Yun was stunned by the blow, wanting to say: Old man, wasn't it you who told me to smash it?

But Su Yun dared not provoke her grandfather while he was in such a rage. She could only point at Sikong Jing and the others, saying, "Grandfather, they did it on purpose to anger you. If they wanted to give it to you, why didn't they say so earlier?"

Su Xuefeng's rage flared again. He glared at Sikong Jing and barked, "Someone, kill this criminal for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Su Zhenglong and the others changed drastically.

Suddenly, a wild, arrogant laugh echoed through the hall. "Grandfather, didn't you say this criminal was to be left for me to deal with?"

The voice crashed into the hall. Su Xuefeng, Su Zhengtao, and the others were jolted, instinctively calling out, "Xiaoshan."

Just then, a young man exuding a fierce aura strode into the hall. He bore a striking resemblance to Su Zhengtao; it was the Su Clan's eldest young master, who had been traveling for a year... Su Shan!

He had already received Su Zhengtao's letter and knew that his second brother, Su Yang, had had his limbs broken by Sikong Jing.

"Big Brother..." Su Yun's eyes lit up, and she was the first to rush over.

Su Shan embraced Su Yun, then froze, his face turning cold. "Little sister, who hit you? Big Brother will tear him to pieces."

On Su Yun's face, the imprint of the hand was still clearly visible.

However, the moment these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present stiffened, and Su Yun's mouth twitched as she said, "It was Grandfather who smashed them."

Su Shan's imposing aura vanished without a trace, and his face began to twitch uncontrollably.

At the head of the table, Su Xuefeng's expression became extremely awkward.

Mei Xiaofang nearly burst out laughing...

Fortunately, Su Yun immediately explained the sequence of events. Upon hearing that it was the Green Jade Slate that had angered Su Xuefeng, Su Shan said, "Aren't they just two Profound Grade Low Tier Green Jade Slates? Grandfather, the birthday gift I have for you this time is... Green Jade Paper!"

As he spoke, Su Shan took a piece of green jade-colored paper from his bosom, which shimmered with faint, mysterious light.

After striding forward to hand it to Su Xuefeng, Su Shan added, "Grandfather, the Green Jade Paper has a Profound Grade Mid Tier martial skill inscribed within it; it is something that the inferior Green Jade Slates cannot compare to."

Su Xuefeng took the Green Jade Paper, and his mood finally shifted from overcast to clear.

Although there was no extraordinary Martial Intent within the Green Jade Paper, he chose not to dwell on that for the moment. He looked at Su Zhenglong and said, "Hmph, Xiaoshan is the sensible one. Your whole family are ungrateful bastards."

Su Zhenglong and the others felt pained in their hearts. So, the things Su Shan gives are sensible, but the things we give are meant to be smashed?

Is this really our fault?

Because of this, Mei Xiaofang couldn't help but mutter, "What's so great about it? Does the Green Jade Paper contain extraordinary Martial Intent?"

Although her voice was soft, it still reached Su Xuefeng's ears, and his heart suddenly felt stifled...

He was well aware that even if the Green Jade Paper contained a Profound Grade Mid Tier martial skill, it was still far inferior to a Green Jade Slate containing extraordinary Martial Intent.

"You dare to talk back..."

Su Xuefeng roared in fury, then looked at Su Shan and said, "Xiaoshan, this criminal broke Xiaoyang's limbs. You can take action now; I want the two of you to fight to the death!"

A single sentence ignited the entire room!

It had come—the thing they least wanted to see had finally arrived...

Su Zhenglong clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice, "Father."

"Shut up. In your own words, this is a fair duel between the younger generation. If you dare to interfere, don't blame me for purging the family."

There was no possibility of leaving any room for sentimentality before.

Now, the matter of the Green Jade Slate had made Su Xuefeng even more determined to have Sikong Jing killed.
