“But…”

Xiao Yuran wanted to speak more, but Xiao Yuhui’s slender face darkened. “But what? Sit when I tell you to sit. Are you not going to listen to your big sister now?”

“Oh.”

Xiao Yuran sat down, irritated. She had decided Su Han was her husband, so she didn’t like seeing anyone yell at him.

“You’re Su Han?”

The elder looked Su Han up and down and revealed a cold smile. “There doesn’t seem to be anything special about you. Why would the Second Miss fancy you? I heard you used to be gifted, but had berserk Qi deviation and broke all your dragon veins. Although you’ve recovered now, I’m aware that broken dragon veins that have recovered don’t retain the same speed as before.

“In other words, even though you have recovered the eight dragon veins from before, the cultivation that follows will be extremely difficult, and you might even be stuck forever as a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator!”

The elder wasn’t lying—there had been many cases of cultivators with broken dragon veins that went through much hardship to recover, only to be stuck as a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator with no further progress.

Relatively, this still meant ‘trash’.

“Humph, you think you can marry our Xiao Clan’s second daughter as a Dragon Vein Realm cultivator? In your dreams!”

“Grand Patriarch, I object to this marriage!”

“Dragon Vein Realm cultivator, you’re only trash, so what right do you have to be fancied by the Second Miss?”

Everyone else started to speak. However, Xiao Hengshan, sitting on the main seat, remained silent.

“What are you guys doing!?”

Xiao Yuran became anxious and said, “I want to marry Su Han. I just like him. Who are you guys to object to our marriage?”

This girl is too naive.

Su Han shook his head secretly. He could easily see that these people weren’t really objecting to the marriage, but simply wanted to give this new live-in son-in-law a hard time.

“Servant.”

Xiao Yuhui waved her hand and said, “The Second Miss isn’t feeling too well. Bring her down to rest.”

“Yes.”

Someone came forward immediately.

“I’m fine; leave me alone!”

Xiao Yuran struggled, but was nonetheless still brought away.

“Su Han.”

Xiao Yuhui squinted her beautiful eyes and stared at Su Han, speaking slowly. “I remember when we were in the Su Clan, you told me you’ll let the Xiao Clan know what ‘utter destruction’ means?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze fell upon Su Han, and waves of Dragon Spirit Realm cultivator’s aura started to gush out and concentrate on Su Han.

However, Su Han did not seem to be even slightly affected by it. His expression was as calm as the water, and it was like he didn’t even feel it.

“What, cat got your tongue?” Xiao Yuhui continued.

Su Han lifted his head and said calmly, “We’ve been standing for quite a while now. Is no one going to give my father a seat?”

Xiao Yuhui scowled, but she remained quiet.

The elder that had spoken previously said, “Humph, a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken. You think this is still the Su Clan?”

“Then how about if I buy a seat for my father?”

Su Han said indifferently, “One upper grade tonic pill, in exchange for my father’s seat.”

Everyone was stunned. Evidently, no one had expected Su Han to say such a thing.

One upper grade tonic pill to buy just a seat?

“Complete bullshit!”

The elder continued to yell, “You think an upper grade tonic pill is some cabbage sold on the side of the road? Given your current circumstance, let alone an upper grade tonic pill, you probably don’t even have a lower grade tonic pill.”

“Two tonic pills,” Su Han said indifferently.

“Don’t bullshit me, you…”

“Five.”

Su Han interrupted the elder before he could finish.

“Su Han, don’t speak mindlessly; those are upper grade…”

“Ten.”

“What if you don’t have them…”

“Twenty.”

Su Han kept speaking indifferently. His calm appearance made everyone’s heart skip a beat.

Those were upper grade pills. One pill cost at least eight thousand gold pieces. Twenty would be worth a whopping one hundred and sixty thousand gold pieces.

“Servant, bring a seat!”

Xiao Hengshan finally spoke. He waved his hand, and immediately, two seats were placed behind Su Han and his father.

“Consider the other seat free,” said Xiao Hengshan.

“No need—if the Xiao Clan wants me to stand, I’ll stand,” said Su Han.

Su Han’s indifferent appearance irritated Xiao Yuhui. She really didn’t know where he got his confidence from.

“Humph, you asked to buy a seat for twenty upper grade tonic pills. Now that we gave you the seats, you better keep your word!” The elder snorted coldly.

Su Han took out two jade vials from his waist and tossed them to the elder.

The elder frowned as he glanced at Su Han. His heart was filled with disbelief as he was about to open the jade vial.

In an instant, an intense and pleasant pill aroma came out from the jade vial. Not just the elder, everyone in the room smelled it.

“Are those really upper grade tonic pills?”

“Twenty upper grade tonic pills! Those must be worth at least one hundred and sixty thousand gold pieces!”

“Where did this brat get so many tonic pills? He didn’t rob the Su Clan treasuries empty before he left, did he?”

A chattering rang out as everyone looked at Su Han with shock and amazement.

“These tonic pills—where did you get them?” Xiao Yuhui asked.

“What’s it got to do with you?” Su Han asked her back.

“You!”

Xiao Yuhui was instantly infuriated.

“These two vials of tonic pills are for my father’s seat.”

Su Han said indifferently, “Later I’ll send someone to bring another twenty vials of upper grade tonic pills. Each vial has ten pills. Consider ten of those vials as payment for helping us before, and the other ten…”

Su Han suddenly paused.

Everyone looked at Su Han, and even Xiao Hengshan fully opened his slightly shut eyes, seemingly waiting for him to finish his sentence.

After a while, Su Han finally spoke.

“The other ten vials are to tell you… not to act like a snob and look down on other people!”

“Huh?”

Everyone froze and became angry immediately after.

“Su Han, do you know where you are? Do you think you’re still in the Su Clan?”

“What nerve. You dare speak to me like this!?”

“Presumptuous fool!”

The many guest officials stood up and spoke chaotically, acting like they were about to fight Su Han.

“That’s enough.”

Xiao Hengshan, who hadn’t been speaking for a long while, suddenly spoke. He slammed his palm down, and the elder as well as the others all sat back down.

“What, the Xiao Clan Grand Patriarch who had been pretending to be a mute is finally going to speak?” Su Han said as he looked up slightly.

“How dare you talk to my father like that?” Xiao Yuhui instantly got angry.

“Xiao Yuhui, didn’t you ask me before about when we were in the Su Clan, and I said that if the Xiao Clan dares act presumptuously, I’ll show them what ‘utter destruction’ means?”

Su Han’s voice was also a bit cold. “I’ll tell you now that if I dared to say that when we were in the Su Clan, I’ll also dare to say it in the Xiao Clan, in front of you, in front of the Xiao Clan Grand Patriarch. In front of all of you, I, Su Han… still dare to say it!”

“Little brat, it’s not good to be so cocky when you’re young.” Xiao Hengshan glared at Su Han.

“Cocky? Hahaha!”

As Su Han laughed, his body shuddered, and suddenly an astonishing radiance erupted.

“Dragon veins?”

“Eleven dragon veins?”

“Heavens, how is this possible?!”

Looking at the eleven streaks of blindingly radiating dragon veins, everyone stared with wide eyes and fell into shock.
