Chapter 28

"But…"

Xiao Yuran wanted to speak, but Xiao Yuhui's face turned serious: "But what? If I tell you to sit down, you should sit down. Are you not even going to listen to your sister?"

"Oh."

Xiao Yuran sat down with a pout. She was convinced that Su Han was her husband, so she couldn't stand anyone scolding her husband.

"Are you Su Han?"

The old man sized up Su Han and sneered: "There's nothing impressive about you. Why would the Second Miss look at you? I heard your talent was decent before, but then you suffered a mental breakdown, and all your dragon veins were severed. Although you've recovered, I know that once severed, the dragon veins can't recover as quickly as before!"

"In other words, even though you've recovered eight of your dragon veins, your cultivation from now on will be extremely difficult, and you might even be stuck at the Dragon Vein Realm for your entire life!"

What the old man said wasn't entirely false. Many people had their dragon veins severed and, after great hardship, managed to recover, but they remained stuck at the Dragon Vein Realm, making no further progress.

Relatively speaking, they were still considered 'waste.'

"Hmph, you think you can marry the Xiao family's Second Miss just by being at the Dragon Vein Realm? Dream on!"

"Head of the family, I oppose this marriage!"

"The Dragon Vein Realm is just a waste. What qualifications do you have to make the Second Miss favor you?"

Others also chimed in, but Xiao Hengshan, sitting in the main seat, remained silent.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuran was anxious and said, "I want to marry Su Han. I like him. What right do you have to oppose it?"

"This little girl is too naive."

Su Han shook his head inwardly. He could easily see that these people weren't really opposing the marriage; they just wanted to give him, the new son-in-law, a taste of their power.

"Someone."

Xiao Yuhui gestured and said, "The Second Miss is not feeling well. Take her to rest."

"Yes."

Someone immediately stepped forward.

"I'm not feeling unwell. Don't touch me!"

Xiao Yuran struggled but was still taken away.

"Su Han."

Xiao Yuhui narrowed her eyes and stared at Su Han, saying slowly, "I remember when you were at the Su family, you told me that you would make the Xiao family know what it means to face a disaster?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Su Han, and a wave of pressure from the Dragon Spirit Realm descended upon him.

But Su Han remained unmoved, his expression as calm as water, as if he hadn't felt it.

"What, can't you speak now?" Xiao Yuhui said again.

Su Han raised his eyes and said calmly, "We've been standing for so long. Hasn't anyone given my father a seat?"

Xiao Yuhui's eyebrows furrowed, and she didn't speak.

The old man who had spoken earlier said, "Hmph, a fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken. Do you still think this is the Su family?"

"Then how about I buy a seat for my father?"

Su Han said calmly, "One high-grade pill for a seat for my father."

Everyone was taken aback, clearly not expecting Su Han to say this.

Just a seat, and he was willing to spend one high-grade pill?

"Absolutely ridiculous!"

The old man said, "Do you think high-grade pills are like cabbages on the street? Given your current situation, you don't even have a low-grade pill, let alone a high-grade one."

"Two." Su Han said calmly.

"Don't talk nonsense, you…"

"Five."

Before the old man could finish, Su Han cut him off.

"Su Han, don't be too full of yourself. That's a high-grade pill…"

"Ten."

"You can't come up with them, so…"

"Twenty."

Su Han still spoke calmly, and his composed demeanor made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

High-grade pills, each worth at least 8,000 gold coins. Twenty pills would be 160,000 gold coins!

"Someone, bring a seat!"

Xiao Hengshan finally spoke, and two seats were immediately placed behind Su Han and Su Yunming.

"The other seat is a gift," Xiao Hengshan said.

"No need. If the Xiao family is willing to let me stand, I'll stand," Su Han said.

Xiao Yuhui was irritated by his calm demeanor. She really didn't know where Su Han's confidence came from.

"Hmph, since you bought a seat with twenty high-grade pills, now that the seat is here, don't go back on your word!" the old man said coldly.

Su Han took out two jade bottles from his waist and threw them, which the old man caught.

The old man frowned and looked at Su Han, not quite believing it. He immediately opened the bottles.

Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance spread from the bottles, and not just him, but everyone in the meeting hall could smell it.

"Are these really high-grade pills?"

"Twenty high-grade pills, at least 160,000 gold coins!"

"Where did this kid get so many pills? Could he have looted the Su family's treasury before leaving?"

Various comments spread, and everyone present was shocked and looked at Su Han in disbelief.

"Where did you get these pills?" Xiao Yuhui asked.

"Does it concern you?" Su Han countered.

"You!"

Xiao Yuhui was instantly furious.

"These two bottles of pills are for buying a seat for my father."

Su Han said calmly, "Later, I will have someone bring twenty more bottles of high-grade pills, each containing ten pills. Ten bottles are for the compensation for your previous visit to the Su family, and the other ten…"

He paused here.

Everyone looked at him, even Xiao Hengshan opened his slightly closed eyes, as if waiting for him to continue.

After a moment, Su Han finally spoke.

"The other ten bottles are to tell you… don't look down on people with your dog eyes!"

"Huh?"

Everyone was taken aback, then became furious!

"Su Han, do you know where you are? Do you think you're still at the Su family?"

"What a bold move, to speak to us like this!"

"You're being too presumptuous!"

Many guest experts stood up, as if ready to attack at any moment.

"Enough."

Xiao Hengshan, who had been silent, finally spoke. He pressed his hand down, and the old man and others sat back down.

"Finally, the silent head of the Xiao family is going to speak?" Su Han raised his eyes slightly.

"How do you speak to my father?" Xiao Yuhui immediately said angrily.

"Xiao Yuhui, didn't you ask me before, when I was at the Su family, that I said if the Xiao family acted presumptuously, I would make them know what it means to face a disaster?"

Su Han's voice was also cold: "I'm telling you now, I dared to say that at the Su family, and at the Xiao family, in front of you, in front of the head of the Xiao family, and in front of all of you, I, Su Han… still dare to say it!"

"Kid, being so arrogant at your young age is not good," Xiao Hengshan stared at Su Han.

"Arrogant? Hahaha!"

Su Han laughed loudly, and his body trembled, instantly emitting a stunning light.

"Dragon veins?"

"Eleven dragon veins?"

"Heavens, how is this possible?!"

Looking at the eleven glowing dragon veins on Su Han's body, everyone's eyes widened, and they were in shock.
