Capítulo 1956: Chapter 1957: The Arrival of the Top Ranked Beauty

The Su Clan elder who was mentioned was taken aback; the news that Su Zhedian could return hit him the hardest among the three.

At this moment, he hesitated, unsure whether he should voice the words he had previously prepared.

While the Su Clan elder continued to hesitate, Su Chengyu stood up, casually tossing out a jade slip. The Su Clan elder stared at the jade slip, bewildered, and raised his head.

“This is the full version of the Supreme Mysterious Dao Scripture, along with some other items. All of what Senior Su Linyuan took from the Su Clan back then is here. If you don’t believe me, you can peruse it.”

Su Chengyu’s generous gesture left the Su Clan elder completely dumbfounded, especially after Su Chengyu’s firm demeanor against Yu Tianfeng earlier, making it inconceivable that this young man could be so accommodating in front of him.

The somewhat doubtful Su Clan elder accepted the jade slip. After examining its contents and confirming what Xu Nanzhi said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Elder Su, did you check the contents?”

“Yes, everything is fine. It is indeed the classics that Su Linyuan took from our Su Clan back then. First we had Su Chengyu emerge from the Su Clan, and now we have a young one like you. It truly is fortunate for our Su Clan.”

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the items, the Su Clan elder immediately changed his attitude, turning completely around.

After all, the past grievances between the Su Clan and Su Chengyu weren’t that deep. This visit was mainly due to old matters concerning Su Linyuan, and the worry that Su Chengyu might retaliate against the Su Clan in the future.

Now seeing Su Chengyu being so cooperative, the Su Clan elder naturally changed his approach, while Su Zi watched everything coldly and silently, suspecting there was more to Su Chengyu’s actions.

Xu Nanzhi smiled at the Su Clan elder and responded.

“You’re too kind, Elder. We understand that the Su Clan has longed for these items all these years. However, the Su family has never owed you anything and naturally, there’s no necessity to return them.”

Listening to this, the Su Clan elder suddenly sensed that something was amiss. He looked up at Xu Nanzhi and Su Chengyu, puzzled, “So now…”

Xu Nanzhi continued to look at the elder and said, “Though Su Linyuan separated from the Su Clan back then, he continued to have considerable dealings with the Su Clan for the sake of Xia Country. Now that the Su family has returned everything taken from you at that time, as of today, the Su family and the Su Clan have no further ties!”

Everyone present was shocked by Xu Nanzhi’s words. Return the Su Clan’s favor, sever relations with the Su Clan? They couldn’t understand why, if he chose to return items wanted by the Su Clan, Su Chengyu would make such a decision.

Especially Su Changming. He even doubted if these words were something Xu Nanzhi had exaggerated and spoken.

But after Xu Nanzhi finished speaking, Su Changming, watching Su Chengyu calmly drinking tea, completely confirmed that this was indeed Su Chengyu’s intention.

“Alright, alright. Sever all ties and relations entirely. I truly didn’t expect Su Linyuan’s family to be such heartless and indifferent individuals. A nest of snakes and mice, born knowing how to eat inside and outside…”

Bam!

Accompanied by a loud noise, Xu Nanzhi’s figure had already flown out of the pavilion, the water flowing along the sword hilt, directly aiming at Su Changming’s face!

Su Changming reacted quickly, immediately trying to intercept Xu Nanzhi, quickly summoning a divine artifact-level magic artifact. However, at the moment the artifact’s light emerged, it was shattered under the overwhelming force of Xu Nanzhi’s Weak Water Sword.

Clang!

With the sound of the sword, the Weak Water Sword was already pointed at Su Changming’s brow, the longsword having already pierced the protective aura, only an inch away from sinking into Su Changming’s forehead.

The scene descended into a deadly silence. Everyone was stunned by Xu Nanzhi’s sudden move, never expecting the Void Middle Stage Su Clan elder to be so defenseless against Xu Nanzhi.

“Dare speak ill of Senior Su and others again, and this sword will cease to be merely a warning.”

Xu Nanzhi spoke coldly, her words clearly containing immense anger.

Su Chengyu also shook his head helplessly at this scene. He had warned Xu Nanzhi not to act first when this group entered.

In this parcel of land in the capital city, fighting isn’t the best way to solve issues, especially against these ancient clans that have lost power and influence in the capital.

Striking first merely gives these people a handle to use against them. However, he could understand Xu Nanzhi. In fact, one could say Su Chengyu’s resentment surpassed Xu Nanzhi’s, but he couldn’t act as freely as in the past.

Fortunately, Xu Nanzhi wasn’t without restraint. Without truly harming Su Changming, this sword could still serve as their declaration of separation from the Su Clan.

Seeing Xu Nanzhi’s emotions slightly out of control, Su Chengyu turned to glance at Zhao Shijue, who was stunned nearby. The latter didn’t grasp Su Chengyu’s intention immediately until Su Chengyu made a gesture of sending guests away, and Zhao Shijue finally reacted.

“Elder Su, the past between you and the Su Saint Envoy is thus settled? If so, there’s no need to make a nuisance here anymore. Quickly leave my prince’s residence.”

The words not only gave Su Changming a way out but also reiterated Zhao Shijue’s unwelcome stance towards them.

Su Changming stared at the sword before him, clenched his teeth, and eventually turned to leave.

A middle-aged man from the Xiao Tribe watched the scene and furrowed his brow for the first time before speaking to the departing Su Changming.

“Elder Su, your business may be over but ours with the Xiao Tribe has yet to start. It wouldn’t hurt to stay and watch the commotion.”

“Commotion? This prince’s residence is no marketplace! You think you can view the commotion just because…”

“What? Is Prince Jue not welcoming my presence?”

A cool voice resounded from outside the courtyard, and upon hearing this somewhat familiar voice, even Su Chengyu furrowed his brow. He had imagined many people would come, but never expected this individual to actually arrive for his sake.

With a path paved by maids, an elegantly dressed woman in splendid attire walked into the courtyard, her unique aura and appearance almost making everyone present bow their heads involuntarily.

“How beautiful.”

Xu Nanzhi spontaneously uttered from the heart but immediately realized her mistake and covered her mouth.

Sure enough, the woman’s gaze quickly fell on Xu Nanzhi, unabashedly scrutinizing her before smiling.

“Are you the woman who wants to contend with my Lin An for a husband?”

Though her words seemed calm, Xu Nanzhi felt immense threat, without hesitating to greet the woman respectfully.

“Commoner Xu Nanzhi greets Princess Consort Chen.”

This aura and appearance, even without prior interactions, were enough to identify the woman’s identity upon first meeting.
