290: The Su family's choice

"Look at this. Elder Su, what are you saying?" Tang Ru said with a look of helplessness, his Face darkening. "The Su Family is also a great Family of Yunzhou City. For such a major matter, naturally, I must ask you. Could it be that you haven't taken this matter to heart yet?"

Tang Ru turned around, his Face gloomy, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Tang Ru stared fixedly at Elder Su, his fists clenched tightly.

"Very well, since Third Master has put it that way, then I shall share my own views." Elder Su snorted; he seemed a bit difficult to get along with right now.

"Actually, the Tang Family meeting with trouble is something no Family in Yunzhou City wants to see. If the Tang Family falls into chaos, then Yunzhou City will follow suit!"

"Of course, there are also some families who hope for the Tang Family's chaos, such as the Nangong Family."

Having said this, Elder Su took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

After a long while, Elder Su paused slightly before turning back to look at Tang Ru.

"I believe Third Master must also understand these things I've said," Elder Su said with a cold laugh.

Hearing these words, Tang Ru's Face darkened, and he took a sharp breath.

After a long while.

Tang Ru began to toy with the pipe in his hand. He sneered, "Yes, I understand. I understand the situation, but I do not understand the human heart."

"I have no idea what the Nangong Family intends to do," Tang Ru snorted.

Upon hearing this, Elder Su also chuckled.

At this moment, Elder Su didn't say much more, maintaining a calm demeanor.

Tang Eleven stepped forward, his fists clenched tight and his brow furrowed in a grimace.

"Third Master, the Nangong Family is hostile toward our Tang Family. Why can't we strike them first? Must we wait for them to bully us?" Tang Eleven was unwilling to let it go.

The Nangong Family's power in Yunzhou City was not weak; they were a powerful Family in their own right.

However, as the overlord of Yunzhou City, the Tang Family could not lose its dignity.

With the Old Master of the Tang Family taken away by Mulan Manor, the other families in Yunzhou City were beginning to stir.

Tang Ru saw this clearly, and Tang Eleven was also well aware.

But in Tang Eleven's view, any potential danger had to be eliminated in advance.

The Nangong Family's hostility toward the Tang Family was nothing new.

Tang Eleven wanted even more to uproot the Nangong Family and eliminate them entirely!

"Shiyi, you don't need to concern yourself with this," Tang Ru said, turning to look at Tang Eleven.

In fact, Tang Ru gave a slight smile, appearing quite calm.

Since Elder Su was still present, Tang Ru didn't want to cause a loss of Face.

After all, Tang Eleven was the future head of the Tang Family; he had to be given Face.

In the future, Tang Eleven's Face would represent the Tang Family.

"But Third Master! Why not just eliminate the Nangong Family directly? It's common knowledge in Yunzhou City that the Nangong Family moved against Grandfather. Why should we still give them Face? If it were up to me, I would kill the entire Nangong Family." As Tang Eleven spoke, he clenched his fists tightly.

A cold light erupted from Tang Eleven's eyes, his entire body radiating Evil Qi.

Tang Eleven wanted to protect the Tang Family and rescue his grandfather; he wouldn't abandon this goal, and if given the chance, he would surely destroy the Nangong Family.

The Nangong Family had always been hostile toward the Tang Family. If such a Family were allowed to remain, it would always be a threat to the Tang Family.

"These Family matters are not for you to interfere in yet. You are still too young and your considerations are not thorough enough," Tang Ru said with a dark expression and a cold snort.

In truth, Tang Ru had long had a plan, but he had never put it into action.

As such, Tang Ru had no other choice.

"But Third Master!" Tang Eleven didn't give up; he didn't want to abandon his goal just like that.

However, Elder Su didn't take this to heart. To him, whether it was the Tang Family or the Nangong Family, they were simply two major families in Yunzhou City.

No matter who held the position of overlord in Yunzhou City, it would never be the Su Family's turn.

As the second-ranking Family in Yunzhou City anyway, Elder Su had no interest in the position of overlord.

"Little Young Master Eleven, Third Master, if there's still a dispute between you two, it's best to settle it internally. Also, I don't want to get involved in the Tang Family's affairs. My Su Family has no other ambitions; I just want to make money." Elder Su chuckled. "Besides, I'm getting a bit tired of looking at that Warehouse full of mink coats; I really want to trade them for something else now."

Elder Su's words clearly stated his position.

In truth, whether it was the Tang Family or the Nangong Family...

Elder Su didn't want to participate in the battle between the two. Moreover, he was getting on in years and didn't want to be involved in fighting and killing at his age.

"Elder Su, I understand. My words earlier were presumptuous." Tang Ru cupped his fists, appearing very respectful.

And it was at this moment.

Tang Ru gave a slight smile and quickly stood up to perform a deep bow.

After all, Elder Su was the Sect Master of the Su Family; Face had to be given, as they couldn't afford to offend the Su Family.

Should the Su Family and the Nangong Family in Yunzhou City join forces, it would be a massive threat even to the Tang Family.

Tang Ru was also afraid of such an occurrence, so everything he had just said was to test the Su Family's stance.

If the Su Family really sided with the Nangong Family, the Tang Family's crisis would become even more serious, and the Nangong Family could not be allowed to remain.

"Alright, Third Master, if you have nothing else, I'll be going. The wine has been drunk, and everything that needed to be said has been said. So, everything between us is clear and aboveboard." Elder Su stood up and set down his empty wine cup.

Hearing this, Tang Ru understood Elder Su's meaning and smiled slightly.

Tang Ru cupped his fists and performed the etiquette once more.

"Elder Su, please take care. If you ever need me for anything in the future, just come to the Tang Family and find me. As long as it's within my power, I will surely assist with all my strength!" Tang Ru said these polite words.

Upon hearing this, the corner of Elder Su's mouth curled into a smirk.

Of course, Elder Su wouldn't take this to heart, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

This had been Tang Ru's intention all along.

"Enough, no need for formalities. You don't need to say these things to me." Elder Su waved his hand dismissively, seemingly not caring about the matter at all.

And so, Elder Su left before everyone's eyes, looking quite carefree.

Tang Eleven looked up, falling into deep thought as he watched Elder Su's departing figure.

These prominent figures in Yunzhou City each had their own temperament, but getting them to unite would be quite difficult.
