25: The Useless Son-in-Law (Part Six)

Zhao Kai's expression was gloomy, spiritual power gathering in his palm as he prepared to completely cripple Su Yun.

He wanted to let this trash know that there were some people he could never afford to offend.

Just at the moment he was about to strike.

"The Sect Master of Qingshan Sect has arrived!"

"The City Lord of Luoyun City has arrived!"

Two announcements came from outside the Lin Family's main gate, and the entire wedding hall instantly fell silent.

The announcements were loud and majestic.

Inside the wedding hall, all noise ceased instantly.

Zhao Kai's movement froze in place, the fierce expression on his face turning into shock.

Sect Master? City Lord?

Why would they come?

The head of the Lin Family, Lin Zhennan, and the matriarch Lady Wang, were even more stunned, completely at a loss.

Those were the true heavens of Luoyun City! They were existences the Lin Family needed to kneel and look up to!

How could this absurd wedding, held to bring good luck for the Old Madam, disturb these two great figures?

All the guests craned their necks, staring intently at the door, holding their breath.

Under everyone's gaze, two figures walked in with hurried steps.

The leader was none other than Li Changfeng, the Sect Master of Qingshan Sect, followed by Zhou Mu, the City Lord of Luoyun City.

The two had solemn expressions as they scanned the messy wedding hall; when they saw Zhao Kai surrounded by the crowd, Li Changfeng's expression became serious.

"Zhao Kai! What are you fooling around here for!"

A shout, full of majesty.

Zhao Kai shuddered and quickly withdrew his spiritual power, bowing respectfully: "Disciple greets the Sect Master!"

City Lord Zhou Mu's gaze was even more severe as he scanned the room: "Everyone, behave yourselves! A great figure from the Imperial Capital is about to arrive, and the whole city is under martial law! If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, don't blame me, Zhou, for being heartless!"

A great figure from the Imperial Capital?

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.

No matter how unwilling Zhao Kai was, he knew the gravity of the situation. He could only glare fiercely at Su Yun and whisper, "Trash, consider yourself lucky!"

After saying that, he stepped aside and greeted the Sect Master and the City Lord, not daring to make any more moves.

The conflict was temporarily halted.

However, Lin Zhennan and Lady Wang's minds became active at this moment.

The Imperial Capital! A great figure!

These words were deeply imprinted in their hearts.

live-in son-in-law, wedding, reputation—everything was forgotten.

This was a rare opportunity! If they could curry favor with this great figure, why would the Lin Family worry about not rising to greatness?

They immediately bet everything on the newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple, Zhao Kai.

He was the Lin Family's only hope at this moment.

Seeing the Sect Master personally backing Zhao Kai, Lin Qingxue felt full of confidence.

She looked at Su Yun, who still had an expressionless face, and felt disgusted.

She tore off the red bridal veil from her head and threw it fiercely at Su Yun's feet.

"Yun Su, this wedding was a huge mistake to begin with!"

Her voice was sharp and resolute.

"Today, I announce in front of everyone that it's over between us! The person I love is Brother Kai!"

Zhao Kai proudly put his arm around Lin Qingxue's shoulder and looked at Su Yun with contempt.

"Trash, did you hear that? Now, you can get lost."

"For the sake of the Sect Master and the City Lord being here today, I'll spare your dog's life. Crawl out of the Lin Family yourself!"

The guests immediately started whispering.

"This trash is finally being dumped, it's truly delightful!"

"Exactly, a toad wanting to eat swan meat? Look at your own state!"

"Young Master Zhao and Young Miss Qingxue are a talented and beautiful match, they're quite compatible!"

Countless looks of disdain and ridicule were cast at Su Yun.

"Enough! Do you... have no shame..."

At the main seat, the Old Madam, who hadn't spoken, was shaking with anger, but she was held down firmly by Lady Wang and could only let out a weak scolding.

However, facing the insults of the crowd, Su Yun's reaction surprised everyone.

He didn't explode in rage, he didn't argue, and he didn't even look at Lin Qingxue and Zhao Kai again.

It was as if he didn't care about them at all.

He turned around, gently helped up the frightened Lin Nianci behind him, and asked softly.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Nianci shook her head and said in a small voice, "I'm fine."

"It seems they don't welcome us. Let's leave this place."

Su Yun's voice was very soft, yet it made people feel at ease.

"Haha, a trash paired with a bastard."

"Chickens with chickens, ducks with ducks, a perfect match!"

Su Yun ignored the crowd's mockery and simply left with Lin Nianci... The farce ended, and after comforting Lin Nianci, Su Yun returned to the woodshed.

Just as he sat down, a Sound Transmission Talisman suddenly appeared and turned into a line of text.

"Young Lord, your subordinate will arrive in Luoyun City tonight. A banquet has been set at the City Lord's Manor. Please grace us with your presence, Young Lord."

Su Yun used Xuan Fire to burn the Talisman.

It's time.

As night fell, the City Lord's Manor was brilliantly lit.

Those who could be invited here were all prominent figures in Luoyun City.

Inside the banquet hall, everyone was heatedly discussing the upcoming great figure.

"Have you heard? The distinguished guest coming this time is not only from the Tianhuo Imperial Capital, but supposedly... also a member of the Su Family, one of the Eight Great Families!"

A well-informed family head said in a low voice.

Hiss!

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

The Eight Great Families were behemoths that could make the entire Tianhuo Empire tremble with just a stomp of their feet!

In a corner, the Lin Family members were surrounding Zhao Kai.

Lin Zhennan looked at his daughter excitedly: "Xue'er, your Severed Meridians... are they really healed?"

Lin Qingxue had a smile on her face as she looked at Zhao Kai beside her.

"That's all thanks to the Medicinal Pills and nourishing ingredients Brother Kai has been sending me over the years."

Zhao Kai felt a bit confused.

The things he sent were just ordinary items to please Lin Qingxue; they didn't have the effect of healing Severed Meridians at all.

But his face was full of smiles.

"Haha, for Xue'er's sake, any price I pay is worth it."

This sentence was heard by Su Yun just as he stepped into the banquet hall.

He sneered inwardly.

Medicinal Pills? Ingredients?

If I hadn't used the Xuan Fire of the Xuan Huo Body to nourish your Meridians and remove the Cold Poison for the past six years, let alone these mere broken pills, even a Divine Pill wouldn't have been able to save your Heavenly Severed Meridians!

"Isn't that the trashy live-in son-in-law of the Lin Family?"

"He how did he come? Does he not know what kind of occasion this is?"

"What is he doing here to cause trouble? Where are the Lin Family people?"

Su Yun's appearance caused the banquet hall to instantly erupt.

The Lin Family members looked nervous, and Lady Wang was the first to rush up, pointing at Su Yun.

"What are you here for, you trash! Get out of here! Do you want to lose all of our Lin Family's face?"

Lin Qingxue also looked disgusted: "Yun Su, haven't you had enough? This is not a place you should be!"

Su Yun ignored them and walked straight toward the main seat.

"You're looking for death!"

Seeing himself being ignored, Zhao Kai was extremely angry. He stepped forward and threw a punch at Su Yun's back.

The punch was fierce, carrying the full power of the Seventh Level of Yang Qi Realm.

However, that powerful punch was easily blocked by Su Yun's casually raised right hand.

Su Yun slowly turned around and looked at him coldly.

In that gaze was clear killing intent.

Zhao Kai's pupils contracted, and he felt a chill.

But it instantly turned into anger.

"You? You trash dare to look at me with that kind of eyes?"

"Today, this Young Master will cripple you!"

Zhao Kai roared, his spiritual power exploding as he prepared to strike again.

At that moment, City Lord Zhou Mu quickly walked out from the inner hall with a respectful expression and shouted loudly.

"The distinguished guest has arrived!"
