Chapter 176: Meet Xue Pinghai!
Feeling the cold anger emanating from Shen Daoru, the old man who looked like a housekeeper behind him pondered for a moment and said, "Master, do you want me to find someone---"
Having said that, a cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Shen Daoru's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but recall Su Bai's terrifying skills at Cangyun Villa in Jiangzhou.
He was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own plans."
"Besides, that kid is definitely not as easy to deal with as you think---"
Even the Master Lian, whom he had hired at great expense, was easily subdued by him. Such a young man could not be dealt with by ordinary means.
The old man looked puzzled and said, "He's just a discarded pawn from the Su family's struggle in Zhongzhou back then! Could it be that this kid has some hidden weapon up his sleeve?"
Shen Daoru said expressionlessly, "If he was really just a discarded pawn, then I wouldn't be so wary of him!"
The old man looked even more puzzled.
Shen Daoru said in a deep voice, "Let's put it this way. His current strength is comparable to that of a Grandmaster in the Transformation Realm! Even calling him a Young Grandmaster wouldn't be an exaggeration. Do you understand?"
The old man's face changed instantly. He was shocked and showed a hint of disbelief for a long time.
"In that case, this brat really has the capital to be arrogant!" As Shen Daoru's personal butler, although his strength is not very strong, only in the late stage of internal strength, he has come into contact with many real masters of Huajin and Yushen Zhenren, so he naturally understands what a master means.
Even if a master who has just entered the realm of transformation is a guest of honor in any family in Daxia, he can ensure the prosperity of the family for decades. Such a top martial arts figure is not something ordinary people can imagine.
Although his Shen family has become powerful in recent years, it is far from being able to compete with the Duan family. The difference is not only in foundation, but the most crucial thing is the head of the Duan family who is an unparalleled martial artist!
At a certain stage, money can no longer measure the strength of these aristocratic families. Only master-level martial arts masters are the foundation.
As powerful as the Zheng family was before, they have now become extremely low-key after Li Ao, the man behind them, was killed by Su Bai.
The Shen family previously had a master who could control gods, Lian Jinglun, but he has now been subdued by Su Bai. Therefore, if they want to deal with Su Bai, they can only rely on the power of the Duan family, otherwise ordinary people will just be helpless.
This is also the reason why Shen Daoru felt ashamed and angry.
He was such a proud man, but today he was bullied repeatedly by a teenage boy. If this were to get out, how would he face people?
However, he couldn't take revenge on Su Bai for the time being.
Shen Daoru's face turned pale with anger, as he ordered, "Call Rong Huan back immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Also—even after Li Wen is cured, he will be confined! He has brought disgrace upon the Shen family!"
The old man nodded, as if remembering something, and whispered, "Then --- what about the Jiang family?"
Shen Daoru's face was gloomy. He said, "They caused my son to have his legs broken, and you still want to become my in-laws? Are they worthy? Humph!"
Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "I understand what to do!"
.......................................
Mingshan Villa.
Xue family.
The Xue family had three sons, which was considered a small number in that era.
The eldest daughter, Xue Wanyun, met and fell in love with Mu Zhenhong at university, and married him to Jiangzhou despite her family's opposition.
Xue Zhong was the second son, while Su Mu was the youngest and the most favored.
Later, Su Bai's mother met Su's father while studying in Zhongzhou. She secretly got married to Su's father without saying a word, which made the old men of the Xue and Su families furious. However, the matter was already settled, and although the Su family was angry, they had no choice but to let it go.
Although Xue Pinghai also strongly opposed it at the time, because the Su family, a top wealthy family, was too far behind the Xue family, he could not persuade his youngest daughter and finally had to compromise.
Unfortunately, not long after Su Bai was born, such a tragedy happened---
Under the guidance of Xue Zhong, Su Bai stopped at the gate of a quiet courtyard at the foot of Mingshan Mountain.
"Bang bang---"
Knocked twice.
An old man dressed in a grey robe, who looked like a servant, ran over to open the door. He took a closer look at Su Bai and said with emotion, "Is this Young Master Su? Come in quickly, the master is waiting for you!"
Xue Zhong introduced with a smile: "This is Uncle Chen!"
Su Bai nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Chen!"
"Oh!" Uncle Chen's face was full of emotion, and he opened the door to let Su Bai in.
Tang Qiubai and Xue Zhong were waiting at the door.
The courtyard is simply decorated, but there are many flowers and plants planted there, which makes it look pleasing to the eye.
Under the grape trellis in the courtyard, an old man in white stood there with a slightly nervous look on his face. Seeing Su Bai and the others coming over, the old man took a deep breath and said to Mr. Chen in front of Su Bai, "Old Chen, you go down first. Su Bai and I want to talk alone."
Uncle Chen bowed and replied, then quietly retreated.
Su Bai looked at the old man in front of him who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and was silent for a moment.
The old man was also looking at Su Bai. His expression was complicated and he spoke in a deep voice after a while.
"Seventeen years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little kid back then has grown up so big!"
"I remember the last time I held you, you couldn't even speak—" A trace of reminiscence welled up in the old man's cloudy eyes. After a while, he sighed and said, "By the way, why didn't Qingyao come with you?"
Su Bai was silent for a moment, then said, "My sister has some things going on at the company. If you want to see her, you'll probably have to wait a while."
Xue Pinghai smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been waiting for so many years. I don't mind these days---"
"Please sit down." He sat on the chair first and said to Su Bai.
Su Bai nodded and sat opposite him, with no intention of speaking.
Seeing Su Bai like this, Xue Pinghai smiled slightly and said, "I have been so cruel to you and your brother for so many years. Do you hate me?"
Su Bai was silent for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head.
"Hate or not hate, it's meaningless now."
Xue Pinghai looked at Su Bai deeply and suddenly laughed.
"You are different from what I thought!"
Su Bai chuckled and said, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Xue Pinghai was silent, sighed dejectedly, and said: "I don't expect you and Qingyao to forgive me! But there are some things I must do! Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have time!"
He looked at Su Bai with a pleased smile on his face, "Fortunately, your rise gave me hope, and I decided to fight back in my old age!"
Su Bai smiled and said, "Then how do you plan to fight this battle?"
Xue Pinghai was silent for a moment, and an unprecedented determination appeared in his eyes.
"Give it all, burn your boats, and don't hesitate!"
