“Hehehe. I have really gained much experience today. I have not seen a joke as ridiculous as this in the world. She has not even said a single word and yet you say she is already cheating others? This request was proposed by your First Grandfather. The matter about the Ambergris Pill was also proposed by your First Grandfather. So how exactly did Miss Ling become someone who is trying to cheat others? Could it be that your brains and legs have exchanged places?” said Jiang Wuhen in a mystifying way as he snickered oddly to the side.
The face of the young man who had made that comment flushed red swiftly after he was ridiculed with sarcasm by Jiang Wuhen. He wanted to refute by saying something else, yet he did not know what to say.
Ling Chuxi still had not say a word and stood with a calm face. Su Yizhi was surreptitiously nodding his head as he looked at her and thought to himself, ‘This young lady is neither arrogant nor rash. She is calm and composed. Surely she is a good seedling.’
“If grandfather says she can, then she can,” declared Su Xiu’er, standing out from the crowd. Her voice was not too loud, but even the young men had shut their mouths at the sound of it. It could be seen that Su Xiu’er had an extreme prestige amongst the younger generation of disciples.
“So what if she can? Big Brother Yanyu can too. Although Big Brother Yanyu is injured right now, there is still Big Brother Yanjin, right?” countered Su Yanhua. He was still somewhat unconvinced. Deep in his heart, he was unable to accept letting an outsider act on behalf of Rejuvenation Valley. He was not contented and not convinced!
“Fearfully, something may have happened to Yanjin as well,” announced Su Yizhi in a deep voice. There was a trace of sadness deep within his eyes.
“What?!” The expressions of Su Yizhen and the other elders changed simultaneously. The younger generation disciples were shocked till they could not even speak. The people in the courtyard looked at each other blankly, and the uneasy atmosphere spread through the air quickly.
Su Yanyu, Su Yanjin and Su Xiu’er were the outstanding ones amongst the younger generation of the Su Family. They were seen by Su Yizhen and the rest as the bearers of hope to revitalize the Su Family and were even seen as role models by most of their peers. But the meaning within Su Yizhi’s words was that not only was Su Yanyu heavily injured, but even Su Yanjin had also encountered a mishap. How could this be?! Who could it be to have done this?
“First Grandfather, is what you say true? That something has happened to Big Brother Yanjin too?” One of the descendants of the Su family with a burly body exclaimed loudly.
“It must be Life Transforming Hall! They are too hateful, and they actually dared to use such despicable means. No way. We must fight for justice.”
“That’s right. It must be them!”
“We definitely cannot let them off this time!”
“Too hateful. Those despicable scumbags!”
…
In the courtyard, as the young people blew their tops off and were filled with righteous indignation as they spoke up, Su Yizhen and the other elders had instead quietened down and each of them had shades of worry on their faces.
“Shut up. How is it proper with all this noise and fuss going on?” scolded Su Yizhen in a deep voice.
Everyone quietened down.
“Clan Head, even if Yanjin had met with an accident, Maiden Ling is still not from the Su Family. Fearfully, it will not be suitable for her to act on behalf of the Su Family,” said an old man who decided to probe after holding his words in for half a day.
“She does not need to represent the Su Family. She can represent Resurrection Hall,” snorted Su Yizhi.
That old man trembled slightly and did not say anything more. ‘She can represent Resurrection Hall… What does he mean by that?!’
“Both of you, follow me,” instructed Su Yizhi to Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen with a nod. He did not say anything more to them after this.
Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen understood and followed him into the backyard.
The young people in the courtyard were still angry and resentful even after both of the Lings had left.
“On what basis that an outsider is allowed to participate in the Sword Pill Meeting on our behalf? Could it be that there is no one else in the Su Family eligible to go?” said Su Yanhua angrily with a righteous indignation, filled with animosity towards Ling Chuxi.
