Chapter 1196 A Show of Strength
At this moment, Chen Xuan, finally able to make a call, took out his phone and sent a message to the people of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade in Kyoto: "Help me check who the King of Assassins was sent by."
Although he had largely confirmed that the mastermind was the Su family in Kyoto, the specific individual was still under consideration, so he decided to ask for help. As a供奉 (gōngfèng - enshrined elder/advisor) of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade headquarters in Kyoto, he naturally had this right, which was one of the benefits.
Soon, he received the news that the mastermind was indeed Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan, a couple from the Su family of the provincial capital in Kyoto!
"It's really them, still not giving up." Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly. "This time, since they sent an assassin, I won't be so polite."
"Is it the Vermilion Bird lineage from the provincial capital?" At this moment, a man in a suit and sunglasses walked over and asked expressionlessly.
The Su family in Kyoto had four main lineages and nine branch lineages. The four main lineages were the Dragon, Tiger, Lion, and Vermilion Bird lineages. Su Yunxi's lineage was the Vermilion Bird lineage, Su Tianhuang was from the Dragon lineage, and Su Yongnian and Tian Haidan were from the Lion lineage. As for the nine branch lineages, there was a simple division: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren. The person Chen Xuan had beaten up last time was from the Jia branch lineage.
"Indeed!" Old Master Su and Jiang Biyun nodded busily.
"If that's the case, then hurry up and get in the car," the man with sunglasses said coldly. After speaking, he turned and got into an old model Volkswagen Santana. Judging by its appearance, the car was at least ten years old.
"This..." Jiang Biyun frowned and said, "How can they use this car to pick us up? What does the Su family in Kyoto mean by this?" Su Yunxi's expression also changed. This was clearly someone trying to put on a show of strength for them! Chen Xuan's gaze also turned cold, and he said, "I'll go ask them if the wealthy Su family in Kyoto doesn't even have a decent car?" With that, he walked over and directly pulled open the driver's side door.
"What are you doing?" The driver was startled by Chen Xuan's aggressive demeanor.
"Nothing, I'm just asking why the Su family in Kyoto is picking us up in such a car?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Heh heh, I'm truly sorry, but the Kyoto Su family's financial situation is not very good right now, so we have to save expenses. Good cars are used to entertain other guests, and this Santana is very fuel-efficient." While saying "sorry," the driver showed no hint of apology.
"I'll give you three minutes. Immediately send two more cars. We have luggage to transport, otherwise, I'll crush your throat right now!" Chen Xuan grabbed the driver's collar and forcefully dragged him out of the driver's seat.
"You... you dare to touch me? I am from the Kyoto Su family?"
"Is the Kyoto Su family so formidable? Damn it, I'm not afraid of people like Su Ning or Su Tianci, so why would I be afraid of you, a subordinate? Let me ask you, if I kill you now, do you think the Kyoto Su family will make trouble for us?"
Upon hearing this, the driver's hands and feet turned cold, and he was so scared that he sat down on the ground. This time, he had probably caused huge trouble!
"Chen Xuan, don't cause trouble!" Old Master Su said quickly. As the saying goes, it's easy to offend the king of hell but difficult to deal with a minor demon. Sometimes offending a small person can lead to great trouble. Moreover, the key point was that the driver dared to openly pick them up in a Santana, perhaps he was instructed by others. As newcomers to Kyoto, they couldn't give those who were willing to find fault an excuse.
"Chen Xuan, this is Kyoto, don't cause trouble for us!" Jiang Biyun also reprimanded. Chen Xuan frowned and released the driver. He could also understand Old Master Su and Jiang Biyun's cautious and fearful mentality. After all, returning to Kyoto, it was better to keep a low profile. However, Chen Xuan felt that this approach was not right. Since they had come to Kyoto, they should strike the mountain to scare the tigers, giving the opponent a show of strength, so that all the wolves, tigers, snakes, and insects would see that they were not to be bullied!
The driver's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. He straightened his collar and said in a deep voice, "It seems you're sensible. And control your live-in son-in-law, otherwise no one can save you..." These words made him sound less like a driver and more like a powerful figure. This was perhaps the rejection of outsiders by the people of Kyoto! After speaking, the driver got back into the car.
Old Master Su said in a deep voice, "Chen Xuan, don't be so impulsive in the future. We are new to Kyoto, we need to be cautious."
"Oh..." Chen Xuan nodded nonchalantly. Old Master Su wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Su Yunxi said, "Chen Xuan, quickly put the luggage in the trunk!"
"Okay!" Chen Xuan quickly walked over and put their luggage into the trunk. However, there were too many suitcases for the four of them, and some couldn't fit. Helplessly, they had to hold their luggage and squeeze into the seats. It was imaginable how crowded a five-seater Santana would be in this hot weather with a pile of luggage. The air conditioning wasn't even turned on. Old Master Su's face was flushed red, sweating profusely, gritting his teeth and enduring it. Jiang Biyun, who had never suffered such hardship, also felt uncomfortable and resentful.
This Santana swayed and drove for a full hour before arriving at the Su family's residence in Kyoto! The Su family residence in Kyoto was located in the suburbs, occupying a vast area that seemed endless. Behind the villa, there was also a small mountain, which was said to be the Su family's backyard in Kyoto. Although this was a suburb, it was still Kyoto, where land was precious. To have a small mountain as a backyard showed the extraordinary strength of the Su family in Kyoto. It was worth noting that this was merely the old residence of the Su family in Kyoto. In fact, the Su family in Kyoto had at least four more villas elsewhere that were even larger than this one. However, because this was the old residence, they had not moved to other places. A massive gate boomed open, and the Santana slowly drove into the Su family villa of the provincial capital.
The scene inside the villa amazed Chen Xuan! Wide, eight-lane roads stretched endlessly, seemingly without end. On both sides of the road, ancient trees hundreds of years old blocked out the sun, witnessing the long history of this ancient family. Every step revealed a new scene, with exquisite decorations and pavilions everywhere. Occasionally, the roars of animals could be heard, and in the distance, golden monkeys could be seen leaping among the trees! Chen Xuan had seen the residences of wealthy families in provincial capitals before, but they were incomparable to the Su family in Kyoto. Was this the foundation of top wealthy families in Kyoto? Old Master Su and Jiang Biyun, looking at the familiar scene, had a different feeling. Su Yunxi also looked at the surrounding scenery and shared her past life experiences with Chen Xuan.
During this time, Chen Xuan opened his heavenly eye and observed the feng shui of the villa. He discovered that the villa's feng shui was extremely good, situated on a branch of a dragon vein. However, it was a pity that the dragon vein's vital energy was very scarce, and could only support it for three to five years at most. If measures were not taken to change the feng shui, the Su family in Kyoto would likely decline!
