Chapter 38

As time passed, the remaining spiritual energy was all absorbed by Su Han.

At the same time, the low-grade spirit stones in his hands turned into ordinary stones, with all the spiritual energy merging into his meridians.

A large amount of impurities emanated from Su Han, forming a layer of black grime, not only on his body but also on his face and forehead, as if trying to envelop him.

Five days later, a total of twenty low-grade spirit stones were completely consumed by Su Han.

One low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one million gold coins, meaning that Su Han had spent twenty million gold coins in just five days!

This enormous amount of gold coins, not to mention ordinary people, could sustain a family like the Xiao family for decades.

...

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

Just as Hu Feng was about to knock on the door, he saw Su Han come out and hurriedly said, "Young Master Han, someone has come to the Xiao family."

"Is it Liang Shaohui?" Su Han asked.

"Young Master Han is truly insightful," Hu Feng nodded.

Su Han smiled coldly: "It's not that I am insightful, but rather that the thoughts of a spoiled brat like Liang Shaohui are too easy to guess. I thought he would have come long ago. It's quite a feat that he has taken this long!"

...

Xiao Family, the meeting hall.

"Liang Shao's presence truly honors our Xiao family!"

Xiao Hengshan and many guest scholars were present, while Liang Shaohui sat in the first seat below, with a look of arrogance and disdain.

Behind him, Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui still followed, seemingly elevated by Liang Shaohui's high status, their faces full of pride.

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

"Attendants."

Su Mingxuan immediately spoke, as if being Liang Shaohui's attendant was a great honor.

"You are also descendants of the Su family, especially Su Mingxuan. I heard that your father has become the family head. By right, you should be the first son of the Su family. How did you become someone else's attendant?" Xiao Yuhui asked.

She truly looked down on the two. Although she had no good feelings towards Su Han, she had to admit that the gap between these two and Su Han was really too large.

"Yuhui!" Xiao Hengshan glared at Xiao Yuhui, signaling her to stop talking.

"Being able to serve Liang Shao is our honor."

Su Mingxuan glanced at Liang Shaohui, showing a fawning expression.

"Liang Shao is exceptionally talented and has a good character. He insists on befriending us, but with our status, how can we be worthy of being his friends? So, we settle for being attendants."

"Is he really that talented?"

Xiao Yuhui shook her head inwardly. Liang Shaohui had only opened five dragon veins, and he was even older than Su Mingxuan. His talent was inferior to both Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui, so how could he be considered exceptional?

"Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui are both excellent and worth befriending."

Liang Shaohui also gave the two a step down, but the disdain on his face was not hidden. Anyone with eyes could see that he was just saying it, without truly valuing them.

In fact, in Liang Shaohui's view, these mere county family descendants were not even worthy of tying his shoes. He only let them be his attendants because they were familiar with the county.

"Thank you, Liang Shao."

Upon hearing Liang Shaohui's words, Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui were flattered and hurriedly thanked him.

Their demeanor made everyone present secretly shake their heads.

Being from the same Su family, why was the gap between them so large?

"May I ask, what brings Liang Shao to the Xiao family?" Xiao Hengshan asked.

Liang Shao glanced at Xiao Yuhui, a flash of light in his eyes, and smiled, "I believe this is the legendary second miss of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuran?"

Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui immediately looked embarrassed and hurriedly whispered, "Liang Shao, she is not Xiao Yuran, but her older sister, the first miss of the Xiao family, Xiao Yuhui."

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?" Liang Shaohui scolded.

"This... We wanted to say it earlier, but didn't have the chance." Both lowered their heads.

"Ah, the first miss of the Xiao family, my apologies, my apologies."

Liang Shaohui smiled insincerely, but since his family had an elder in the inner sect of the Cold Cloud Sect, he had heard that Xiao Yuhui had become an inner sect elder.

With such a status, he still had some respect for her.

"Is Liang Shao here to find Yuran?" Xiao Hengshan frowned slightly.

"Yes."

Liang Shaohui stood up and laughed heartily, "I heard that the second miss of the Xiao family is as beautiful as a celestial being, and I feel a deep connection with her. I am here to propose marriage to the Xiao family."

After speaking, Liang Shaohui placed a silver card on the table and said, "This silver card contains five hundred thousand gold coins, as a dowry for the proposal. What does the head of the Xiao family think?"

"Proposal? Dowry?"

Everyone was stunned.

No one had expected Liang Shaohui's sudden behavior. He had not even met Xiao Yuran and was already talking about a proposal?

"Who told you my sister is beautiful?" Xiao Yuhui suddenly asked.

"They did." Liang Shaohui pointed at Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui.

The two changed their expressions, inwardly cursing. They had just been trying to elevate themselves, but now they were immediately betrayed.

"They?"

Xiao Yuhui glanced at the two, her eyes cold.

"You're overthinking it. My sister is not beautiful. It is rumored that my sister is very ugly, you should know that." Xiao Yuhui said to Liang Shaohui.

Liang Shaohui smiled, "I have heard that too, but it's just a rumor. The second miss of the Xiao family is extremely beautiful. Saying she is ugly is just nonsense."

"Even if my sister is not ugly, she is not yet of marriageable age. So, I think this proposal should be dropped." Xiao Yuhui said.

At this moment, only she had the authority to speak.

In Liang Shaohui's mind, he probably only respected her, as she was an inner sect elder of the Cold Cloud Sect. As for Xiao Hengshan, although he was the head of the Xiao family, Liang Shaohui did not really care.

"Is the dowry too little?"

Liang Shaohui smiled coldly and took out another silver card, "This one also contains five hundred thousand gold coins. Together, they make one million. Is that enough?"

Xiao Yuhui frowned, "This is not about the amount of money. You should put away your silver card. The Xiao family does not lack money."

Just as Liang Shaohui was about to speak, two people suddenly walked into the hall.

One was Su Han, and the other was Xiao Yuran, whom Su Han had met on the way.

"Beautiful!"

"This kind of pure and gentle aura is truly rare. If I could ravage her..."

When he saw Xiao Yuran, Liang Shaohui was stunned, his sharp eyes bursting with unprecedented light.
