Chapter 1267 Pressure!
One night of conversation.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that Chen Xuan fell asleep. It was past nine in the morning when Chen Xuan slowly woke up. When he woke up, Su Yunxi was not in the room. A faint fragrance lingered in the air, refreshing.
Recalling what happened last night, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh. He never expected the usually aloof Su Yunxi to do something like this for him. It was simply incredible.
He savored the events of last night, finding them deeply satisfying.
After a moment, he put on his clothes and went out.
As soon as he stepped out, he ran into two maids.
"Young Master Consort!"
Seeing Chen Xuan walking out of Su Yunxi's room early in the morning, the two maids' smiles carried a hint of ambiguity.
Chen Xuan coughed twice and said, "Hello, hurry up and get to work."
"Yes, Young Master Consort!"
The two maids smiled and prepared to leave quickly.
But just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from outside.
"I'm telling you, your Vermillion Bird lineage must report all your properties today and merge them into the Kyoto Su family, otherwise, don't blame me, Su Dazhao, for being impolite!"
Hearing the voice outside, Chen Xuan frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?"
One of the round-faced maids whispered, "The master of the Bing lineage, Su Dazhao, has brought people to inventory the assets of the Vermillion Bird lineage. Miss Su asked for more time, but Su Dazhao refused, leading to a dispute."
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Xuan had already rushed out. When he reappeared, Chen Xuan was already downstairs.
The two maids were stunned.
Su Dazhao, the master of the Bing lineage, had been entrusted by the clan leader Su Tianhuang with the important task of inventorying the assets of the Vermillion Bird lineage. He had visited the Vermillion Bird lineage several times in the past few days, but the Vermillion Bird lineage had been delaying. This made it very difficult for Su Dazhao.
Today, Su Dazhao came again, and he was prepared to use forceful measures against the Vermillion Bird lineage.
Accompanying Su Dazhao was Deputy Commander Wu Tongtian, who was also ordered to cooperate with Su Dazhao in handling this matter.
Su Yunxi said calmly, "Uncle Dazhao, the asset situation of our Vermillion Bird lineage is quite complex, and I am still in the process of statistics. It will take a few more days to complete the statistics, and then I will definitely..."
"Enough, I don't want to hear your explanation anymore! If you produce the asset report now, everything will be fine. Otherwise, I will have to send someone to act!" Su Dazhao said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, some guards surrounded them, looking fierce.
"You dare!"
Old Master Su's face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice.
"Old Master Su, you are an elder, but don't blame me for not giving you face. The Vermillion Bird lineage returning to the Kyoto Su family is a grace from the clan leader. Merging the assets of the Vermillion Bird lineage into the Kyoto Su family is only right and proper!"
Su Dazhao said righteously!
"If you dare to make a move, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
Old Master Su, leaning on his cane, stepped forward and spread his arms.
"Get out of here, you old geezer. If you don't, I'll deal with you too!" Su Dazhao's face darkened.
Old Master Su was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"Who is this dog who dares to speak such arrogant words in our Vermillion Bird lineage!"
Suddenly, a cold shout sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Xuan walking out of his residence, his face stern.
Seeing Chen Xuan, Su Dazhao's pupils constricted. As for Wu Tongtian, seeing Chen Xuan, his whole body trembled, his expression a mixture of resentment and fear.
"Chen Xuan!"
Su Yunxi and the others also rushed forward, intending to inform Chen Xuan of the situation.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, glanced at Su Dazhao, and asked, "Are you the one trying to forcibly inventory our Vermillion Bird lineage's assets?"
"Kid, don't meddle in other people's business. If you don't want to get beaten, get lost immediately!"
Although Chen Xuan had made a name for himself in the Kyoto Su family, Su Dazhao did not take him seriously at all.
"I think you're the one who should get lost. You're just a person from a branch lineage, yet you dare to make trouble for the main lineage. I think you've got a death wish. Get lost now!" Chen Xuan's attitude was extremely tough.
Su Dazhao was almost choked to death by Chen Xuan's words.
In the Kyoto Su family, hierarchy was highly valued. Although the Bing lineage was not weak, it was, after all, a branch lineage, while the Vermillion Bird lineage was the main lineage. This was indeed insubordination and a violation of family rules.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Although you are the main lineage, you are not as powerful as the clan leader. I am acting under the orders of the clan leader. Today, you must complete the asset inventory and the asset merger!"
"Clan leader? Yunxi, call the clan leader." Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"I'll call right away."
Su Yunxi immediately took out her phone to call Clan Leader Su Tianhuang.
"My Yunxi has now entered the list of candidates for clan leader. Do you dare to provoke her? Just wait for the clan leader to deal with you, Su Dazhao!" Jiang Biyun sneered.
Hearing this, Su Dazhao's expression changed.
He was unsure of Clan Leader Su Tianhuang's attitude.
Clan Leader Su Tianhuang had announced that Su Yunxi had joined the list of clan leader candidates this morning. The Vermillion Bird lineage was currently in high spirits. What if Clan Leader Su Tianhuang blamed him?
He couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
Su Yunxi made the call, and after a moment, her expression became even more displeased.
"How is it?" Chen Xuan asked, frowning.
"I can't get through!" Su Yunxi shook her head.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Biyun and Old Master Su looked extremely displeased.
"I understand!"
Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
In fact, this call was not meant to truly complain to the clan leader, but to test Clan Leader Su Tianhuang's attitude.
It seemed that Clan Leader Su Tianhuang really intended to deal with the Vermillion Bird lineage, and he likely wanted to seize the assets of the Vermillion Bird lineage.
"Hahaha, it seems the clan leader does not intend to protect your Vermillion Bird lineage. After all, the clan leader also has to handle matters from the perspective of the family!" Su Dazhao was relieved and said excitedly.
"Even if the clan leader doesn't protect our Vermillion Bird lineage, you still won't be able to take away the assets of the Vermillion Bird lineage," Chen Xuan said coldly as he stepped forward.
"Guards, seize this live-in son-in-law!"
Su Dazhao saw Chen Xuan and shouted coldly, preparing to capture Chen Xuan as a warning to others.
But Wu Tongtian did not move at all.
"Why aren't you acting?" Su Dazhao looked at Wu Tongtian and frowned.
Wu Tongtian was at a loss for words.
He had already sparred with Chen Xuan yesterday and was no match for him. Moreover, Chen Xuan held something over him, so how could he dare to offend Chen Xuan?
Chen Xuan also saw Wu Tongtian, and his gaze swept over Wu Tongtian and Su Dazhao, his expression strange.
Wu Tongtian had stolen Su Dazhao's wife, and they were working together. The social circles were truly messy.
He smiled faintly and said, "Deputy Commander Wu, why don't we try our fists and feet then."
Wu Tongtian was stunned for a moment, then he saw Chen Xuan winking at him, clearly meaning for him to play along and help Chen Xuan stage the act!
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Kid, surrender to me quickly!"
"Bang!"
Chen Xuan kicked out. His foot didn't even touch Wu Tongtian, but Wu Tongtian's meridians reversed, and with a "poof," he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward several meters.
