Chapter 1213 Base and Shameless
However, Su Tianhuang’s mood was very relaxed and happy.
On one hand, it was because Chen Xuan had embarrassed him time and again.
On the other hand, after all this commotion, the Vermillion Bird lineage had undoubtedly become fish on a chopping block.
Then his next plan would also proceed smoothly!
Chen Xuan immediately spoke, "An explanation? It's simple!"
He scanned the crowd and explained, "Yesterday, we returned to the Vermillion Bird lineage's residence, but we encountered a venomous snake there."
"Tsk, isn't it just a snake? What's the big deal?"
"Exactly, that courtyard has been deserted for so long, it's normal to see even two snakes. This can't be your reason for beating up others, right?"
The crowd spoke one after another, expressing their doubts.
Chen Xuan continued, "A snake is not a big deal on its own, but this snake was very special. It was a蛊 snake that could be controlled."
"That 蛊 snake was a highly venomous silver krait. Coupled with the poison from 蛊, this silver krait's toxicity is even more potent than that of ordinary venomous snakes."
"This clearly indicates someone intended murder! I tracked a snake to Su Yingxiong's residence, and then a conflict arose with Su Yingxiong. Su Yingxiong was too arrogant and provoked me, saying he would deal with me."
"I thought Su Yingxiong was a formidable fighter, but I didn't expect him to be such a good-for-nothing. I accidentally crippled him."
The crowd exchanged dumbfounded glances.
These words had some discrepancies with what Su Pingchao had said.
Firstly, Chen Xuan claimed he didn't ambush but openly fought Su Yingxiong and accidentally crippled him.
Secondly, Chen Xuan suspected someone had attempted to murder Su Yunxi, and that person might have been Su Yingxiong!
"You're talking nonsense! If you didn't ambush, how could you have defeated the number one genius of our First Branch?!"
Su Pingchao quickly denied, "What 蛊 snake? I think you're making it all up!"
"Actually, there was a 蛊 snake meant for me, and I've already killed it. Clan Leader, you might as well investigate if it's a 蛊 snake."
After speaking, Chen Xuan took out a 蛊 snake from his sleeve and threw it in front of Su Tianhuang.
"Furthermore, I followed Yunxi to attend the monthly gathering today. I also request the Clan Leader to find the culprit who assassinated the Vermillion Bird lineage!"
Chen Xuan looked at Su Tianhuang, speaking righteously.
At this moment, it seemed as if he were the greatest victim!
Su Tianhuang frowned. He glanced at the 蛊 snake, then beckoned. A middle-aged man in strange attire with long hair walked in.
He picked up the 蛊 snake and examined it, his pupils flashing with a different light.
"Is this a 蛊 snake?" Su Tianhuang asked in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man said, "Reporting to the Clan Leader, this is a 蛊 snake cultivated by a master of 蛊 techniques from the southwest. It is very rare, and its venom is extremely potent. Once bitten, it can cause immediate death!"
A cold glint flashed in Su Tianhuang's eyes!
He said, "You may withdraw."
The man nodded slightly, turned, and left.
Su Pingchao's expression changed. He forced himself to say, "Clan Leader, there is a 蛊 snake here, but it doesn't necessarily prove that this 蛊 snake is related to Su Yingxiong, or the First Branch."
He was already feeling somewhat guilty, as Su Pingchao had seen Su Yingxiong's senior brother, who was skilled in 蛊 techniques.
"Enough! I will investigate this matter thoroughly!" Su Tianhuang roared.
The voices opposing the Vermillion Bird lineage also lessened considerably.
Following that, Chen Xuan looked at Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan, the couple, and said, "You two, do you still have any objections? The murder we encountered on the plane, wasn't that your doing?"
"What assassination?" Su Tianhuang frowned.
Chen Xuan explained, "On the plane from Jiangzhou to Kyoto, we encountered a desperate killer. Fortunately, we met Huo Xiaoyu, otherwise, it would have been truly troublesome."
"So that's what happened," Su Tianhuang said solemnly.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Moreover, yesterday Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan, the couple, admitted that the killer was hired by them."
"Do you have any other grievances?" Chen Xuan's gaze was fixed on Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan.
"You're talking nonsense, what assassination? We don't know anything about it," Su Yongnian denied outright.
After all, no one else had witnessed it at the time, so they could completely deny it.
"Do you think that since no one witnessed it, you can just go back on your word?" Chen Xuan said with a playful look.
Su Yongnian said in a deep voice, "I never said anything like that, so what is there to go back on?"
"Is that so?" Chen Xuan smiled and said, "What if I say I have a recording from yesterday in my hand, what do you think?"
"You... you stop trying to scare us, we never said such a thing." Su Yongnian's heart was in turmoil. He began to feel uneasy! What if this guy really had a recording?
At this moment, Su Yongnian recalled what had happened yesterday. He felt that he hadn't seen Chen Xuan take out a mobile phone or any other recording device. He felt slightly relieved.
However—
Chen Xuan took out his mobile phone and directly opened the voice recorder.
"The killer you encountered on the plane was sent by me..."
That voice was Su Yongnian's!
"It really is Su Yongnian's voice."
"I didn't expect them to actually send people to kill members of the Vermillion Bird lineage."
"They clearly attempted assassination and still came here to complain. They really have no shame."
The crowd whispered, looking at Su Yongnian and the others with contempt.
Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan were instantly crestfallen. They hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so insidious as to secretly record them. Base and shameless! The two looked at Chen Xuan as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Su Qingyang and Yang Zi Luo were relieved. At the same time, they looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. They hadn't expected Chen Xuan to have made a recording, so Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan couldn't press their complaints.
Su Yunxi also felt a slight relief.
As for Su Tianhuang, he sized Chen Xuan up. This brat is truly quite insidious. He had underestimated this guy.
"Clan Leader, now that there is a recording as evidence, I believe you will be able to make the right decision!" Chen Xuan said to Su Tianhuang with a smile, his tone serious.
Su Tianhuang nodded slightly and said, "Su Pingchao! Su Yongnian, how dare you still come to me with complaints?"
Su Pingchao and Su Yongnian looked dejected, their heads bowed, unable to say a word.
"From now on, you will await your punishment. If you dare to cause any more trouble, both your lineages will be expelled from the family!" Su Tianhuang said coldly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise. From beginning to end, Su Tianhuang had never mentioned expelling the Lion lineage or the First Branch from the capital, but now he said such a thing. This clearly showed that Su Tianhuang intended to protect the Vermillion Bird lineage.
"Yes, we will definitely reflect on our actions and stay disciplined when we return." Su Pingchao and Su Yongnian could only nod in agreement. Although they were extremely unwilling, they dared not say anything more. If they were truly expelled from the Su family in the capital, they would be completely finished!
"Thank you, Clan Leader, for your fair judgment." Chen Xuan cupped his fists in thanks with a smile.
