With the passing of time, Su Han absorbed all the remaining spiritual Qi.

At the same time, the low quality spirit stones in his hands all became hard rocks as the spiritual Qi flowed into Su Han’s meridians.

A large quantity of impurities dissipated from Su Han’s body. A layer of black tar showed up on not only his body but also his face and forehead, seemingly wrapping up all of Su Han.

After five days, a total of twenty poor quality spirit stones had all been consumed by Su Han.

A single poor quality spirit stone was equivalent to a million gold pieces, meaning that Su Han had spent a total of twenty million gold pieces in these five days!

This large sum of gold pieces could have allowed even a big clan like the Xiao Clan to operate for ten years.

…

On this day, Su Han walked out of his room.

Coincidentally, Hu Feng noticed Su Han walk out just when he was about to knock and said, “Young Master Su Han, someone has come to the Xiao Clan.”

“Liang Shaohui, is it?” Su Han said.

“Young Master Su Han is truly godly at predicting things.” Hu Feng nodded.

Su Han revealed a bitter smile. “I’m not godly at predicting things, it’s just very easy to guess what a person like Liang Shaohui has on his mind. I had already expected him to come. Must have been hard for him to take so long!”

…

“Young Master Liang has truly graced us with your presence!”

Xiao Hengshan and many guest officials were all present in the Xiao Clan’s meeting room. Liang Shaohui was seated on the first seat below Xiao Hengshan’s, his face full of pride, arrogance, and disdain.

Behind him, Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui were still tagging along. Their faces were also filled with pride, seemingly for accompanying someone with a high status.

Xiao Yuhui looked at the two and pursed her lips. “Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui, you two are his…”

“Followers.”

Su Mingxuan immediately answered, as if he was proud to be Liang Shaohui’s follower.

“Aren’t you two from the Su Clan? Especially Su Mingxuan—I heard your father became the Grand Patriarch? Logically, aren’t you the First Young Master of the Su Clan? How have you become someone else’s follower?” Xiao Yuhui asked again.

She really looked down on the two. Although she hadn’t taken a liking to Su Han, she truly thought that the gap between those two and Su Han was enormous.

“Yuhui!” Xiao Hengshan eyed Xiao Yuhui, hinting at her to not speak any further.

“To become Young Master Liang’s followers, that is our honor.”

Su Mingxuan looked at Liang Shaohui, revealing a subservient gaze.

“Young Master Liang is young and incredibly talented. He’s also a nice person and insisted on becoming friends with me. However, with my status, how could I be worthy of becoming his friend? I could only ask to become a follower of his.”

He’s young and incredibly talented?

Xiao Yuhui secretly disapproved. Liang Shaohui had only opened five dragon veins and was even slightly older than Su Mingxuan. Liang Shaohui’s talents might even be worse than Su Mingxuan’s and Su Minghui’s. He was as incredibly talented as a fart.

“Mingxuan and Minghui are also decent people, worthy of knowing.”

Liang Shaohui also gave face to the two. However, the disdain on his face was in no way disguised and blatantly obvious. He had only said those words for the sake of it, and clearly didn’t mean them.

In fact, that was indeed true. In Liang Shaohui’s opinion, the two didn’t even deserve to shine his shoes. He had only allowed them to be his disciples since they knew the Far Mountain Province fairly well.

“Many thanks, Young Master Liang.”

Hearing what Liang Shaohui had said, Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui were overwhelmed with flattery and quickly thanked him for his kind words.

Their subservient behavior made everyone who was present disapprove internally.

Just why was there such a big difference between scions of the same Su Clan?

“If I may ask, why has Young Master Liang come to visit the Xiao Clan?”

Young Master Liang’s eyes flicked to Xiao Yuhui. He said with a smile, “It seems like this is the rumored Xiao Clan’s second daughter, Xiao Yuran?”

Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui suddenly revealed embarrassment, and said softly, “Young Master Liang, she’s not Xiao Yuran. She’s Xiao Yuran’s sister and the first daughter of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yuhui.”

“Hell, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Liang Shaohui cursed angrily.

“This… we had wanted to, but weren’t able to.” The two lowered their heads.

“So it’s the First Miss of the Xiao Clan. Apologies, apologies.”

Liang Shaohui’s smile was pretentious. However, since someone from his clan was an inner disciple of the Frost Cloud Sect, he had naturally heard of the news that Xiao Yuhui had become an inner disciple at the Frost Cloud Sect.

Liang Shaohui was still a bit fearful of a person in such a position.

“Young Master Liang had come for Yuran?” Xiao Hengshan frowned slightly.

“Right.”

Liang Shaohui got up and laughed, “I heard the Xiao Clan’s second daughter is as beautiful as a goddess and has the beauty to charm the nation. Based on what I heard, I have come to propose to the Xiao Clan.”

After this, Liang Shaohui took out a silver card and placed it on the table. “There’s half a million gold pieces on this card. Consider it my gift offering for marrying your daughter. What do you think, Grand Patriarch?”

“Propose? Gift offering?”

Everyone froze.

No one had expected this ridiculous action from Liang Shaohui. What was this talk of marriage when he had never even met Xiao Yuran?

“Who told you that my sister was beautiful?” Xiao Yuhui suddenly asked.

“They did.” Liang Shaohui pointed at Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui.

Su Mingxuan’s and Su Minghui’s faces suddenly changed as they cursed secretly, He was just complimenting us and already he’s betrayed us.

“Them?”

Xiao Yuhui glared at the two with a cold gaze.

“You heard falsely. My sister isn’t beautiful. The rumors are that she’s very ugly; you should know that,” Xiao Yuhui said to Liang Shaohui.

Liang Shaohui smiled. “Yes, I have heard of those rumors. But rumors are rumors. The Xiao Clan’s second daughter is a dazzling beauty. Those people are only speaking nonsense.”

“Even if my sister isn’t ugly, she still hasn’t reached the age for marriage. So, I think we’ll pass on your proposal,” Xiao Yuhui said.

Right now, only Xiao Yuhui had the right to speak.

Liang Shaohui probably only feared Xiao Yuhui since she was an inner disciple at the Frost Cloud Sect. As for Xiao Hengshan, Liang Shaohui really didn’t care about him even though he was the Grand Patriarch of the Xiao Clan.

“Is the gift offering not enough?”

Liang Shaohui revealed a cold smile and took out another silver card. “Here’s another half a million gold pieces. That’s a million gold pieces combined. Is that enough?”

Xiao Yuhui frowned. “This isn’t a matter of money. Keep your silver cards; our Xiao Clan does not lack money.”

Liang Shaohui was about to speak when two people suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

One of them was Su Han. The other was Xiao Yuran, whom Su Han had run into on his way here.

So beautiful!

Such pure and soft elegance in a lady is truly rare. If only she could be mine to play with…

Liang Shaohui froze when he saw Xiao Yuran. From his two narrow eyes erupted a radiance that had never been seen before.
