Looking at the Chen Clan’s speedy retreat, Lin Chengsong’s heart sank even further.

Su Yunchen, Su Yunpeng, and the others frowned deeply.

This bastard Su Han sure is lucky. How can someone protect him even in such circumstances?

As for this second daughter of the Xiao Clan, she looks so beautiful. And it seems like she’s pretty close with Su Han. Didn’t this bastard say he’d rather die than marry Xiao Yuran?

Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng both cursed in their hearts.

Xiao Yuhui said, “Su Han is the Su Clan’s disciple, so…”

“I’m no longer a member of the Su Clan.”

Su Han interrupted Xiao Yuhui and said, “Just now, the three patriarchs of the Su Clan decided to banish my father and me from the clan so that they wouldn’t be affected.”

“Oh?”

Xiao Yuhui’s gaze swept over Su Yunchen and the others, who lowered their heads immediately.

“That’s really heartless.”

Xiao Yuhui said indifferently, “That’s for the best, Su Han. You and Uncle Su will live in the Xiao Clan from now on.”

Su Han didn’t respond.

He knew that Xiao Yuhui was trying to save face. Although she didn’t fear Lin Chengsong and the others, she didn’t want to embarrass them as well.

“Young Master Su Han, we wish to follow you!”

Suddenly, three figures rushed out. They were Pang Qing, Hu Feng, and Zhang Hai.

“Why didn’t you follow him when he was banished from the Su Clan just now?” Xiao Yuhui frowned.

“We just learned about this!” said Pang Qing hurriedly.

Su Han knew their characters and said with a smile, “Alright, if you’re willing to follow me, then come along.”

“Yes!”

The three were elated. They sincerely seemed like they wanted to follow Su Han.

“Then… shall we go?” After saying this, Xiao Yuhui glanced at Lin Chengsong.

Lin Chengsong didn’t even dare to let out a fart. His ferocious attitude had long since disappeared.

“Husband, father, let us go,” Xiao Yuran said to Su Yunming in a kind voice.

“Hahaha…”

Su Yunming laughed ecstatically, “What a blessing in disguise! Who could’ve known that I, Su Yunming, would have such a pretty and kind daughter-in-law? This is a life well lived!”

“I still haven’t agreed yet,” Su Han said as he rolled his eyes.

“Bastard, you think this is something you get to decide? If I tell you to agree, you have to agree!” Su Yunming said, pretending to be angry.

Su Han mumbled, “Didn’t you say earlier that I didn’t have to marry…”

“You rascal, didn’t I only say that because you were so reluctant to marry? How is Yuran not worthy of you, huh?” Su Yunming said loudly.

Su Han stopped talking. He knew that Su Yunming was having the time of his life.

“I’ll go pack up.”

After that, Su Han went back to his room and took all his tonic pills and ingredients. He left the Su Estate after that.

The group left boldly as everyone watched. No one dared to step forwards and stop them.

…

Due to Xiao Yuhui, the Xiao Clan was doing better than ever before, and had truly grown into the top clan of the Far Mountain Province.

The Xiao Estate was very large and occupied a space that was several times larger than the other clans’. Their people were also much, much larger in number and consisted largely of guest officials that had heard of the Xiao name. Among them, most were Dragon Blood Realm cultivators, but there was no lack of Dragon Spirit Realm cultivators.

On the way there, Xiao Yuhui didn’t say a single word and showed a cold face. Evidently, she was still upset about what happened last time.

She had gone out of her way to save Su Han because of her sister, and had nothing to do with Su Han himself.

As for Xiao Yuran, she couldn’t stop talking the entire way, and occasionally she would say some funny things with that cute appearance of hers, making her very likable for her ‘father-in-law’, Su Yunming.

Su Han also had good feelings for her. However, he had lived for nearly a hundred million years and had a mature mind. As of right now, he couldn’t really say that he liked her.

“First Miss, Second Miss!”

When they arrived at the Xiao Clan, the guards at the gate immediately bowed.

Xiao Yuhui nodded and went her own way.

Xiao Yuran, however, said smilingly, “Father, li’l Su Han, I’ve prepared rooms for you two. Please go and rest first.”

“What about us?” Pang Qing asked.

“You guys are also the guest officials of the Xiao Clan. You may live in the residential area for guest officials,” said Xiao Yuran.

Pang Qing was instantly relieved, and said to Su Han in a soft voice, “Young Master Su Han, stop hesitating. Such a nice girl is hard to find; you don’t want to regret it when someone else steals her away.”

“Get lost,” said Su Han.

“Heh heh.”

Pang Qing and the others smiled, and were led away by the servants of the Xiao Clan.

Su Han and Su Yunming, on the other hand, were led by Xiao Yuran herself to their chambers.

“Second Miss, Grand Patriarch has ordered for Su Han and Su Clan Grand Patriarch to gather in the meeting hall,” said a Xiao Clan servant who rushed into the room not long after they arrived.

“Alright, we’ll come right now.”

Xiao Yuran nodded and briefly helped Su Han to settle in. Then, the three arrived at the meeting hall.

At this moment in the meeting hall, Xiao Clan Grand Patriarch Xiao Hengshan was seated on the main seat. Below him, the seats were filled with people on each side.

The Xiao Clan was different from the Su Clan. They only had one patriarch, and that was Xiao Hengshan.

Therefore, there weren’t many arguments in the Xiao Clan. Xiao Hengshan’s word was law.

The people seated on the two sides were all Xiao Clan guest officials. They were also Xiao Hengshan’s trusted ones.

When Su Han and the others arrived, Xiao Yuhui was already seated on Xiao Hengshan’s right. On his left, there was another seat—evidently it was saved for Xiao Yuran.

“Father,” said Xiao Yuran in a loving manner.

“Mmh.”

Xiao Hengshan’s stern face revealed a smile, and he waved at Xiao Yuran. “Second daughter, come and sit by my side.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Yuran nodded lightly and walked over.

Su Han’s expression remained calm, but Su Yunming’s face was a bit unsightly.

This was because he had been noticing his surroundings ever since he came in here. There wasn’t a seat for him or Su Han.

Sigh… They’re our hosts. It’s fine… Su Yunming thought to himself.

Evidently, Xiao Hengshan wanted to display to Su Han and his father his power. After all, Su Yunming was once the Grand Patriarch of the Su Clan. However, he hadn’t even been given a seat here.

“What nerves!”

Right then, an elder suddenly slammed his chair and shocked the two of them.

“What’s wrong?” Su Yunming frowned.

“How could you not bow in the presence of our Xiao Clan’s Grand Patriarch?” the elder yelled.

Xiao Hengshan remained expressionless, like he hadn’t seen anything.

“How bold of you!”

Just when Su Han was about to speak, Xiao Yuran stood up. “Su Han is my husband, and Su Yunming is my father-in-law. How dare you speak to them like that?”

The elder was stunned. He thought, Can’t you analyze the situation? Can’t you see that your father arranged for this?

Su Han also looked at Xiao Yuran dumbfoundedly. His impression of her improved dramatically.

This li’l brat is pretty cute! Su Han thought to himself.

“Yuran, take a seat.”

Xiao Yuhui said, “You still haven’t married Su Han. He’s not your husband yet.”
