"Are we really doing this right?"
Li Jun said hesitantly.
Sneaking up on Su Fan in the dead of night felt somewhat dishonorable.
"Don't forget the poison in our bodies. If we don't catch Su Fan, we'll all die!"
Jiu Di reminded Li Jun coldly.
Li Jun and Wu Yun fell silent. They had no choice now but to capture Su Fan, otherwise, they would all die when the poison took effect.
There was no other way; they had to follow Jiu Di's plan to drug Su Fan and take him away.
The four of them quietly sneaked into Su Fan's house, carefully climbing over the courtyard wall.
"Gentlemen, trespassing is illegal. Why didn't you use the front door?"
Su Dongsheng had already noticed them. He only spoke after they entered the courtyard.
Otherwise, if they hadn't offended him outside, there would be no excuse to make a move.
The four were startled.
They looked up and saw Su Dongsheng on the roof.
"Senior, may I ask who you are?"
Jiu Di, unable to discern Su Dongsheng's cultivation level, asked warily.
"I am Kuang Long. If you're visiting, use the front door openly. If you have ulterior motives, then weigh your own capabilities,"
Su Dongsheng said casually, lying on the eaves.
Hearing the name Kuang Long, Li Jun and the others' faces stiffened.
They had heard the title Kuang Long of the Su family twenty years ago.
"Junior has disturbed you!"
The group immediately chose to retreat. They were simply not on the same level and couldn't contend.
"Heh!"
Su Dongsheng chuckled. These little shrimps dared to jump around in front of him.
Su Dongsheng simply lay on Su Fan's roof, and no one dared to come looking for trouble with Su Fan.
Until the next day.
"Kuang Long, tell your junior, Su Fan, to come out!"
An old man with a murderous aura arrived.
"Who's that dog barking so early in the morning?"
Su Dongsheng stretched lazily, his eyes still blurry with sleep.
Ye Yongxing's beard bristled with anger. This bastard was clearly insulting him.
"Su! You little scoundrel, don't think I dare not touch you!"
Ye Yongxing pointed at Su Dongsheng's nose and cursed.
"Oh, who is it? It turns out to be the old dog of the Ye family."
Su Dongsheng pretended to have just noticed him.
"Has your Ye family's habit of sending the elders when the juniors are defeated not changed yet?"
Su Dongsheng sneered, completely disregarding Ye Yongxing.
"Su Dongsheng! What did you say!"
Ye Yongxing was furious. Being cursed at by someone a generation younger, no one could remain calm.
"What? Are the elders deaf? If your body isn't up to it, stay put. If something happens, I'll have to travel all the way to the capital for a funeral feast, and that would be such a waste of time."
Su Dongsheng's tongue was as venomous as ever, making Ye Yongxing below turn red with anger.
"Su Dongsheng, I don't have time to waste words with you. I've investigated, and Su Fan is not your Su family's descendant. I advise you to hand Su Fan over. For the sake of your Su family, I won't make trouble for you."
Ye Yongxing said to Su Dongsheng in a deep voice, warning him.
"Oh my, who says Su Fan isn't my Su family's descendant? He's my son-in-law, Su Dongsheng. Do you think he's not a Su family member? Also, when did I, Su Dongsheng, ever need anyone to give me face? Stop talking nonsense. If you're here to catch up, I'm afraid I don't have time to chat. If you're here to cause trouble, hurry up. If you dare to step into the courtyard, you'll bear the consequences!"
Su Dongsheng was too lazy to argue further with the man. He warned him to act quickly if he intended to fight, or leave if he didn't, so as not to delay his rest.
"Su Dongsheng, it seems you're determined to protect him today. Hmph!"
Ye Yongxing actually didn't want to fight Su Dongsheng.
The title Su Dongsheng held in his youth had surpassed that of all the older generation. The Su family's reputation was built by Su Dongsheng alone. After so many years, Su Dongsheng could only have become stronger. According to Ye Zhenyan, Su Dongsheng had already reached the Kaiyang realm, though he wasn't sure if it was true.
He hadn't come entirely because of the Ye family's junior. That alone wouldn't have alarmed him. The main reason was that he had received news that Su Fan had obtained the inheritance, and he wanted to snatch it before Su Fan grew stronger!
He glanced at Su Dongsheng on the roof, pondering in his heart.
Assuming Su Dongsheng was a Kaiyang realm martial artist, but he had been in the Kaiyang realm for over a decade. Could a newly advanced Kaiyang realm cultivator like Su Dongsheng be his opponent? Certainly not!
Ye Yongxing's confidence grew.
"Su Dongsheng! The humiliation you brought to the Ye family yesterday, I shall reclaim it all today!"
Ye Yongxing stomped his foot, leaped high into the air, and shot towards Su Dongsheng.
"Old cur!"
Su Dongsheng knew the other party wouldn't leave so easily. Since the elders of the Ye family had come, they wouldn't leave empty-handed.
Ye Yongxing struck Su Dongsheng with a palm. Su Dongsheng also struck down with a palm from above. Their palms met, and the air vibrated like ripples on water.
Bang!
Ye Yongxing was sent flying, landing outside the courtyard with a stumble. Su Dongsheng, on the other hand, only flew back a short distance before somersaulting and landing steadily in the courtyard.
"Old cur, you've crossed the line!"
Su Dongsheng said coldly to Ye Yongxing outside.
Ye Yongxing was shocked.
Su Dongsheng's strength was actually superior to his!
"Su Dongsheng! Good, very good!"
Ye Yongxing was furious but had nowhere to vent it. Fighting might not guarantee victory, and leaving now would be humiliating, leaving him in a dilemma.
"Brother Ye, how have you been lately?"
Just then, a voice interrupted Ye Yongxing's thoughts.
Ye Yongxing was stunned. He turned to see three old men leading several young people approaching.
Su Dongsheng frowned.
Because he recognized one of the three old men: Jian Nu, whom he had met on Taiping Mountain.
And the young people were the four, Li Jun and his companions, whom he had driven away last night.
The identities of these three old men were immediately clear.
The dark-faced old man was Hei Wuchang, the one with the pockmarked face was Lao Duwu, and the one carrying a sword box was Jian Nu!
"Hei Wuchang!"
As someone from the same era as Hei Wuchang, Ye Yongxing was naturally familiar with him. Although Hei Wuchang hadn't appeared for many years, his distinctive dark face was unforgettable. And Lao Duwu, Jian Nu – weren't they all figures who had dominated the world in their time? They had disappeared for years due to various reasons and had never shown themselves. He never expected to see them here.
"Brother Ye, you're being too formal. Just call me Brother Hei," Hei Wuchang said with a smile to Ye Yongxing.
Ye Yongxing immediately seized the opportunity.
"May I ask why Brother Hei has brought the two elder brothers here?"
These three were being hunted by various factions for various reasons and rarely dared to show themselves. Their appearance here must have a reason.
"Isn't it all for the inheritance? Brother Ye, you're here for the inheritance too, aren't you?" Hei Wuchang cut straight to Ye Yongxing's purpose.
They were all old foxes; who didn't know who was who? For the sake of inheritance, they would disregard everything. What was face?
