Chapter 88 - Another walking clichè

The Elder, Su Hengyue, spoke coldly to the clan master.

Su Hengyue: Su Hengshan, if you took out the clan's most valuable treasure a bit earlier, then my son Haoyu would have soared into the skies a long time ago, and in less than ten years, he would have taken our Grandwake Clan to a height that we could only dream of right now!

Don't believe that we don't know what you're thinking. You're envious of my son's natural talents and want to personally consume our clan's treasure. Heh, people being selfish and envious is completely normal. However, you want the entire Grandwake Clan to be dragged by you. As one of Grandwake Clan's elders, I'll never agree to that!

Su Haoran: Bullshit! It's obvious that you're the one who's selfish. For the sake of getting your hands on the clan's most valuable treasure, you actually slander us in reverse. You have no sense of shame at all!

Su Hengyue: Before an elder finished talking, your son has already lost his cool. Could it be that this Clan Master's own son is more qualified to use the clan's treasure than my family's Haoyu? That's right, if you can win against my Haoyu, then you will naturally be more qualified than Haoyu. Haoyu, come and compare your moves against your brother Haoran.

From their conversation, the treasure should be something to help grow one's potential, in this sort of world where the strong rules, that is really valuable for low level sects.

A youth around twenty year old completely dressed in white walked out from behind Su Hangyue. Although his expression was completely calm, his gaze exposed all of his pride.

Su Haoyu: Brother Haoran, no matter how much nonsense you say, it is useless. If you beat me, then I'll have no face to use the clan's most valuable treasure, and we would not have any dissent with the Clan Master regarding this matter from now on. Please.

Su Haoran: You!!

Su Haoran tried his best to contain his anger. And didn't take a step forward, because he knew that he wasn't Su Haoyu's match.

Su Haoyu: What? Could it be the Brother Haoran doesn't dare? Heh… Brother Haoran doesn't need to be so tense. We're only comparing moves, that's all. I certainly won't hit you too hard. Besides, just in case you beat this little brother, would you not have gotten what you wished for?

An old voice sounded from the man sitting on the chair, belonging to the Grand Elder of the Grandwake Clan, Su Wanji.

Su Wanji: That's enough, don't argue anymore. For this matter, Hengyue was indeed a bit improper, but it is still a misunderstanding. Oh Hengshan, although our late ancestors told us to wait for a world shaking disciple to appear before using the clan's most valuable treasure, our ancestors' "world-shaking" could have meant many things. 

Haoyu is a genius that's hard to come by even in a hundred years. He is only 20 years of age, yet he has already stepped into the 8th level of the Spirit Profound Realm. In the Country of Supwake, he could already live up to the word "world-shaking". It seems to me that Haoyu definitely has the qualification to use our clan's most valuable treasure. 

I can guarantee that in the following century, it is practically impossible for a disciple with greater talents than Haoyu to appear within the Grandwake Clan.

He continued to stare at Su Hengshan and say.

Su Wunji: This year, Haoyu is 20 years old. He is not young anymore. If he grew up a bit more, using the clan's most valuable treasure would naturally be much less effective. Hengshan, if you still obstinately do not understand, and is willing to die guarding the clan's most valuable treasure before releasing it, then what if a so-called "world-shaking" genius never emerges within our Grandwake Clan, will the clan's treasure be forever sealed? 

Our clan could have soared into the sky a long time ago, but had been stagnant for a long time because of this. If the day comes that our clan encounters a calamity, using the clan's most valuable treasure at that time, would be far too late!

How's this? Hengshan, If you can find a disciple under twenty in our clan that can defeat Haoyu; then Hengyue will never raise the matters regarding the clan's treasure ever again!

Everyone among Su Hengyue and Su Haoran's group began to laugh. Then Su Hengyue sternly said.

Su Hengyue: Very well! If there is anyone under twenty in my Grandwake Clan that can defeat Haoyu and prove that his natural talents aren't the greatest, then I'll immediately slap my ȧss and leave. I'll never mention a word regarding the clan's treasure ever again and I'll apologize to the Clan Master for my inappropriate behaviors today… But, what if no one can defeat Haoyu?

Su Wunji: Then please Hengshan, give the key to the clan's treasure to Haoyu. I believe none of the elders and the members of the clan present here want see this matter be dragged out or bicke-

The nearby wall was taken down, attracting everyone's attention, when the dust settled down, everyone saw a black haired head tilted forward with some rocks and dust over it.

Jean walked out after headbutting the wall, and Su Ling'er was hiding behind his leg. Some minutes before, Jean came out from the room where he was since he didn't want to damage anything, and in the way towards the only wall separating him and the people, he saw Su Ling'er sitting down and hugging her knees in fear.

Obviously he took care of Su Ling'er and now he was in the center of the attention. He cleaned off his head from the rubbles and said.

Jean: Hey there, did you miss me? The protagonist is back!

Su Hengshan was quickly alarmed from their presence and shouted.

Su Hengshan: Little Brother Yun, and Ling'er… Why are you here! Quickly, leave this place. The matter here is unrelated to you, and it is not a place you should have come to!

Su Ling'er: Papa, I… I'm not afraid. I'm here to cheer Papa on.

Su Ling'er sweetly smiled towards Su Hengshan; nevertheless, she neared Jean even more and held onto him tightly with both of her little hands.

Jean: It was me who wanted to bring Ling'er here, because I won't be at ease if Su Ling'er was anywhere else but by my side. Sect Master doesn't need to mind about her safety, if even a single strand of fall off from her because of them… Sandalphon. 

Jean sat on it and held Su Ling'er on his ŀȧp, before he gazed at everyone with a cold merciless look.

Jean: ...They can forget being born in this planet.

When Su Hengshan looked at the expression in Jean's eyes, he was stunned for a while. Jean and his daughter had clearly only met today. He was incapable of understanding how these two were able to form such an intimacy to this degree. 

He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and looked with resolution at Jean. Meanwhile, Su Haoyu tried to check Jean's profound strength, but he didn't felt any. Thinking that the scene of before was jist an act, he stupidly stepped forward.

Su Haoyu: Where did this wild brat come from? From the looks of it, you're not one of our Grandwake Clan's people either, heh! This is a place where our Grandwake Clan is having a discussion regarding an important matter, it's not a place where a wild brat like you who comes from god knows where can step into, hurry and scram! If you don't wish to scram yourself, this young master can send you off himself!

Jean just looked at him with half opened eyelids and said.

Jean: …Who's this clown?

Su Haoyu: Ugh…

He felt as if a dagger stabbed his ċhėst and spit some blood as his body got rigid in shock. Meanwhile, Su Ling'er turned towards him and explained.

Su Ling'er: Big Brother Yun Che, he is Su Haoyu, the son of an Elder, he is also considered the genius of our clan.

Jean: Oh, I see, I see…

He said that while he petted Su Ling'er's head, which she seemed to like.

Jean: Basically we have another walking incarnation of a clichè.

Su Haoyu: C-Cli… Clichè…?! With your qualifications, you don't have any right to stand in front of me!

Jean: Qualifications? I am literally you but better. More handsome, more stronger, more capable, and I probably even have a bigger d… Sword.

He couldn't permit himself to say vulgarities in front of Su Ling'er, so he used the term "Sword", which is really bigger than Su Haoyu's weapon since Jean's weapon is a fuċkɨnġ broadsword.

Su Haoyu: You… you're seeking death!!

He pulled out his longsword and pointed it towards Jean.

Su Haoyu: Reveal your weapon. You don't seem to know how the two words "seeking death" are written, do you? Today, this young master shall properly teach you then!

He snapped his fingers, and a slightly familiar figure appeared, it was Xiao Tiannan, the Sect Master of the non-existent branch of the Xiao Sect in New Moon City, a zombified Earth Profound Cultivator.

Xiao Tiannan: My master…

Jean: Well, Tiannan, it is a while since we saw each other, there is someone that wants to challenge me, you know what happens to the particularly bad people who fight me, right?

Xiao Tiannan just nodded and gazed at Su Haoyu.

Xiao Tiannan: Either they get mercy, or they will join our ranks.
