As soon as Su Han spoke, the hall immediately fell silent.
Clearly, no one expected that Su Han, given his current situation, would dare speak to Su Yunchen like that.
Only Su Yunming, who was sitting in the main seat, revealed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that his son had always had this pride, evident when he was a genius and still there…even when he was considered a failure!
Su Yunchen’s face couldn’t hold back his displeasure as he snorted coldly, “I am not your master, nor am I your path, but I am your elder…”
“That’s right.”

Without waiting for Su Yunchen to finish, Su Han spread his hands and said indifferently, “You are not my master, so I don’t need to respect you. You are not my path, so I certainly don’t need to regard you!”
“You!”
Su Yunchen almost spat out blood. After Su Han’s cultivation base had fallen, he became silent and reticent, never retorting no matter how others mocked him.
Unexpectedly, now in front of so many people, Su Han actually defied his usual demeanor so openly, which made Su Yunchen, who originally intended to act tough, unable to step down.
“Big brother, what do you think about this matter?”
Seeing that Su Yunchen was still looking for trouble, Su Yunming coughed lightly and shifted his gaze to Su Yunlie, who had been sitting there and hadn’t spoken.
As the Family Head of the Su Family, controlling the family’s economic lifeline, everyone still feared him.
In the family, he had always maintained a neutral stance, not siding with Yun Ming, nor with Yunchen and Yunpeng.
At hearing Su Yunchen’s question, everyone’s gaze naturally shifted to Su Yunlie.
As long as Su Yunlie agreed as well, Su Han would have no choice but to marry the second young lady of the Xiao Family!
Almost everyone was waiting for Su Yunlie’s answer, only Su Han still had his eyes closed, as if the outcome had nothing to do with him.
After pursing his lips, Su Yunlie glanced over the people below and sighed, “Yun Ming, you know the situation of the Su Family; the Chen Family and Lin Family are like two tigers always eying us greedily. Our family lacks influential support, if we could actually find a benefactor, it might not be a bad thing.”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
At these words, Yun Ming’s expression changed and he fell silent.
Su Yunlie’s intent was quite clear now!
Yet, Yunchen and Yunpeng, disregarding how others saw them, burst out laughing loudly.
In fact, at this moment, no one in the Su Family dared judge them, as Su Han had become useless. On this Dragon Martial Continent, where strength was revered, Su Yunming was essentially finished, and the position of Family Head would sooner or later be usurped by Yunchen and Yunpeng.
“Even the great Family Head agrees; Su Han, what else do you have to say?” Su Mingxuan taunted with a sneer.
“Yes, the great Family Head holds immense prestige. Even the Family Head must obey him. Since he has already issued an order, do you still dare to defy?” Su Minghui ridiculed mercilessly.
Without even glancing at them, Su Han said calmly, “Who I marry is my business, it doesn’t need anyone else’s agreement, nor does it need others to make decisions for me.”
“Even now, you still dare to be insolent? Do you really think you are still that genius who opened up four Dragon Veins in two years, and eight Dragon Veins in three years?” Su Mingxuan’s expression turned dark.
His and Minghui’s talents were quite commendable in the Su Family, but Su Han was like a huge mountain, constantly pressing down on them, leaving them struggling to breathe.
They had been waiting for this day for a long time!
“Su Yunming, aren’t you going to control your son!”
Su Yunpeng took this opportunity to convey, “Even the eldest brother is disregarded now, what a disgrace! If the son is untaught, it is the father’s fault. It seems that you have never really considered the eldest brother seriously, have you?”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“I naturally do not consider the eldest brother seriously,” Su Yunming responded.
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and their faces revealed disbelief.
Even Su Yunlie furrowed his brows and thought to himself that he had always remained neutral, so why did Su Yunming disregard him?
Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng almost laughed out loud, ready to explode in anger.
However, before they could speak, Su Yunming patted his chest as if it were only natural and said, “To me, the eldest brother is like a brother, like a father. Perhaps you only consider him casually, but I keep him in my heart!”
Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng nearly burst a blood vessel, their ready retorts forcibly stifled.
On the side, Su Yunlie was taken aback, pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook his head.
Su Han also looked up at Su Yunming, surprised that this ‘father’ he had picked up had such a gift of gab.
That statement was indeed like killing three birds with one stone.
It pleased Su Yunlie, blocked Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng, and at the same time, silently lowered the impression of Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng in Su Yunlie’s heart.
Seizing this opportunity, Su Yunming spoke, “I think this matter still requires deliberation. Everyone knows Su Han’s situation, but the Xiao Family doesn’t. They agreed to Xiao Yuran marrying Su Han because they valued Han’er’s talent. Once they are married, the Xiao Family will inevitably find out, and by then, not only will Su Han be in danger, but even our Su Family will face catastrophe!”
“Our family’s marketplace has already been mostly bought out; if Su Han can marry Xiao Yuran, it would at least provide our Su Family with a breathing space,” Su Yunchen argued.
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
Su Yunpeng also said, “Fourth Brother, I think you are overthinking it. Given the Xiao Family’s current momentum, they value their reputation. Even if they find out about this later, they won’t make a big fuss, at most they will just…”
“They will just what?”
Su Yunming furiously responded, “They will just, in a fit of rage, kill Su Han, but will not involve the Su Family, right? You are gambling with my son’s life for this, I will never agree to it!”
“Regardless, the elder brother has already agreed, and the third brother and I approve. According to family rules, Su Han must marry Xiao Yuran, and must do so grandly!” Su Yunchen said through gritted teeth.
“No way!”
Su Yunming slammed his hand on the chair, releasing Dragon Qi that almost shattered it.
“Yunming!”
Su Yunlie suddenly spoke, “Things have come to this point, and you cannot change it. If Su Han truly can help our Su Family through this crisis, regardless of the outcome, he is our Su Family’s hero. I believe even the old master, had he not been in seclusion, would agree to this.”
Su Yunming’s face turned red with rage, but Su Yunlie was right, even as the Family Head, he could no longer control the situation.
“It is decided then.” Seeing Su Yunming remain silent, Su Yunchen appeared smug.
“Decided?”
Just then, Su Han suddenly spoke up: “What if I refuse to marry?”
(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})
“Refuse to marry?”
Su Yunchen sneered, “You are a junior in the family, and you naturally must comply with family rules. If you do not marry, according to the family rules, your limbs would be disabled, expelled from the family, and thrown into Demon Mountain to feed the wolves!”
“Oh, right, there is another way.”
Su Yunchen looked at Su Han with schadenfreude and added, “The wedding date set by the Xiao Family is six months from now. If within these six months, like Xiao Yuhui, you can enter the Cold Cloud Sect, become an Inner Sect Disciple, and open up the Eight Dragon Veins, then Xiao Yuran, you naturally wouldn’t need to marry.”
