Hmph!
A cold snort rang out, and it was like a heavy hammer that hit everyone’s heart. A huge pressure instantly spread out, almost suffocating everyone, “Who is it with such a majestic aura?”
“What a Lin family, are you bullying my Su family here?”
The voice came before the person. It was like thunder from the heaven, exploding in everyone’s ears. They felt as if their eardrums were about to be shattered.
An old man walked in slowly. He looked kind and amiable, but his eyes occasionally revealed a bright light.
The people around him made way for him. Su Qingyun looked at him as if she had seen her savior, “Father, you’re finally here. The Lin family has gone too far.”
The Lin family patriarch’s expression turned even colder when he heard this, “It was clearly you who broke off the engagement in public and caused the Lin family to lose face. And now you’re even making bogus accusations, making it seems like the Lin family has let you down.”
“You’re too impulsive. I said we had to plan this matter carefully.”
Patriarch Su looked at Su Qingyun disapprovingly, then his eyes fell on Lin Yuanheng and the others with a hint of undetectable contempt.
This was so-called father and daughter. Their superior mannerisms were simply the same.
“Brother Lin, my daughter has been pampered by me since she was young. She may be a little willful in her words and actions, but since she’s not sensible, how can you be not sensible as well to fight with her?”
When people who were not in the know heard this, they would think that the Lin family was the one who started the trouble.
Lin Yuanheng was so angry that he almost laughed at the Su family’s ability to twist the truth. Ye Xuan took advantage of the opportunity, “She’s so old but still don’t know anything. I’m afraid the Su family has raised a giant baby.”
This was exactly what everyone was thinking. if it wasn’t for the timing and occasion, they really would have applauded Ye Xuan.
Patriarch Su’s face was gloomy. For so many years, no junior had dared to speak to him like this. His gaze on Ye Xuan was a little more unfriendly.
“Impudent! Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant?”
“I’m just a person who sees injustice. I can’t stand seeing someone break the contract and be so arrogant, even the family member behaves the same.”
Ye Xuan sounded shallow, but his words were filled with sarcasm. Patriarch Su was rendered speechless. Su Qingyun, on the other hand, glared at him fiercely and whispered something to her father. Patriarch Su’s eyes were then filled with killing intent.
“Young man, you’re very courageous. I haven’t seen someone so bold in a long time,” he said meaningfully.
“Some people like to be in the limelight and play the hero, but they also have to see if they have the ability. Boasting shamelessly will only invite disaster.”
The meaning behind his words was obvious. It was obvious that Patriarch Su would not let Ye Xuan off easily. Otherwise, if the rumor that anyone could provoke the Su family spread, it would affect their reputation.
Lin Yuanheng stood between the two and blocked his view, “Uncle Su, this is our family matter. There’s no need to involve outsiders.”
After saying that, he looked at Ye Xuan gratefully, “Thank you for speaking up for justice just now.”
Ye Xuan admired Lin Yuanheng’s style of doing things. Such a person was worth his help.
Patriarch Su sneered, “Even if my daughter is in the wrong, you shouldn’t humiliate her like this. Besides, we’ve already apologized and even brought you the pills. The Lin family is overbearing and even hurt her.”
Now, Ye Xuan finally saw what it meant to lie through his teeth. He shook his head as he watched from the side.
Lin Yuanheng was expressionless, “Uncle Su, it sounds like you are rational. But have you ever thought that you are the one who start this matter? Since you don’t want your daughter to get married, you should have brought it up earlier and not break off the marriage in public!”
Even though he had no cultivation, the aura he exuded could not be underestimated. Even in the face of an expert like Patriarch Su, he did not back down.
It made the Su family feel a little guilty. Seeing that they couldn’t win, they began to put other ideas forward.
“Why don’t you take a look at your own status and cultivation? Do you know that my daughter has already subdued a rare fire and possesses a mutated Heavenly Fire spirit root? She’s even chosen by the elders of the Yaochi Holy Land. You’re simply not worthy.”
The crowd gasped.
No wonder Su Qingyun was so arrogant even though she was in the wrong to break off the engagement. Also no wonder the Su family was so confident. So this was the reason.
Yaochi Holy Land was one of the seven major sects. Su Qingyun’s future was bound to be unlimited since she had caught their eye. So what if the Su family was known for being treacherous?
Just the name of Yaochi Holy Land was enough to scare people to death, so what was a mere breaking off the engagement?
If Su Qingyun became a disciple of the sect, her future would no longer be restricted by this small world.
The Lin family fell silent. They couldn’t deal with Yaochi Holy Land. Even their family was nothing in front of the seven big sects.
Patriarch Su revealed a smug smile and took out the pills in his hand.
“These are incomplete supreme-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. Although it can only repair half of your son’s foundation, it’s enough for him to start cultivating again. If there’s a chance, it’s not impossible for him to completely repair it.”
Su Qingyun pouted, “Father, how could you give them such precious pills?”
“I’m just cleaning up your mess. I’ve told you not to be reckless but you’ve still caused so much trouble for me,” Patriarch Su said unhappily.
He looked at the pills in his hand, and could not help but reveal a pained expression. He was originally reluctant to take them out.
Although Yaochi Holy Land had given them enough confidence, it was not a glorious thing that they have broken the promise. It would be unreasonable if Patriarch Su didn’t spend a lot to stop the Lin family’s mouths.
