A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother Chapter 81: Heaven’s Will
“Bang——!!”
Xiao Chengshan slamd his palm down and shattered the table in front of him.
Several elders in the hall imdiately turned to look at him and said in unison, “Chengshan! Mind your manners.”
The other party were Mount Shushan disciples, and the Su family was currently in its pri—how could the current Xiao family afford to offend them?
All the humiliation over the years seed to condense into that one palm strike.
His wife had passed away.
The beloved son had fallen from a favored genius to a laughingstock in others’ mouths.
He was ostracized within the family.
As the clan leader, the father could only keep enduring it all for the greater good......
Xiao Chengshan let out a weary sigh.
He knew this was already unavoidable.
From now on, the father and son would truly beco the laughingstock of the entire Panlong City.
“I’m truly sorry. Su Wan is willing to compensate the Xiao family, but the engagent must not go on.”
After saying this, Su Wan added another line.
“This isn’t because Xiao Ran’s cultivation was crippled and he can no longer cultivate.
Nor is it because I’ve beco a Mount Shushan disciple, and now that the Su family is thriving and the Xiao family is declining, I look down on the Xiao family.
And of course, it’s not because Xiao Ran is ugly or has so kind of defect......”
Li Xuanxiao, who was eavesdropping, rubbed his forehead helplessly.
If you can’t talk properly, just shut that little mouth of yours.
Su Wan had been building up for quite a while and hadn’t noticed that the faces of the Xiao family mbers in the hall had all turned grim.
If you want to call off the engagent, just do it—why insult everyone while you’re at it!?
Su Wan finally got to the point and continued:
“In short, I want to make it clear that I, Su Wan, am not soone who chases power and status.
I’ve simply found the one I hold in my heart. He treats with a thousand kindnesses, and I can’t let him down!”
At this mont, Xiao Ran, who had been sitting at the end, finally stood up.
The young man stood in anger, glaring at Su Wan.
“Su Wan, you’ve humiliated too much!!
Stop making excuses. If you look down on , just say it outright.
I, Xiao Ran, may not be able to cultivate now, but don’t forget—
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don’t bully a poor youth!!
One day, I, Xiao Ran, will return this disgrace in full.”
Su Wan said in a low voice, “I already said, it’s not because I look down on you. I simply can’t fulfill this engagent. If I, Su Wan, were trying to use power to pressure others, I wouldn’t have co here alone today!”
Mount Shushan, the Su family.
Both were Su Wan’s backers.
Which one could the Xiao family afford to offend?
Xiao Ran shouted angrily, “So what if your Su family is powerful now, and you, Su Wan, have successfully ford a Golden Core and have Mount Shushan behind you?
When I, Xiao Ran, was in the Qi Refining Stage at five years old and reached Foundation Establishnt at twelve, why didn’t you co to call off the engagent?
When I was still a genius, why didn’t your Su family co to cancel the marriage?
Now it’s just clinging to the powerful and abandoning the weak, the way of the world.
I, Xiao Ran, may be a tiger fallen to flatlands, bullied by dogs, but I accept it today. Just don’t let live to make a coback!”
Su Wan wasn’t one to take it lying down either.
She looked at this young man her own age, veins popping in anger, spouting insults at her.
She also slamd the table and stood up, coldly saying:
“Survival of the fittest, that’s the law of this world.
Your cultivation is destroyed, you’re weak, and you bla ?
Clearly, it was your own overestimation that led you into a forbidden ground.”
“Good! Su Wan,”
Xiao Ran’s expression twisted, the mockery and humiliation he’d endured since losing his cultivation finally reached its peak.
One must know, Xiao Ran had once been such a proud person.
He’d endured it all—until now, when she ca personally to call off the engagent.
It truly crushed his dignity to the ground.
Outside the conference hall, many younger mbers of the family had already gathered, whispering and discussing.
Xiao Ran clenched his teeth so hard it was as if they’d shatter, then suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He clutched his chest and collapsed backward onto the ground.
Su Wan’s face showed a flash of pity. “This……”
Xiao Ran braced one hand on the ground, forcing himself to stand up again.
“Su Wan, today’s humiliation—I’ll rember it.”
He suddenly drew the sword hanging in the hall.
Su Wan’s heart tightened, thinking he was about to attack her, and reflexively drew her own sword.
Clang!
Several elders of the clan turned pale at the sa ti.
Su Wan had co to the Xiao family alone, not just relying on her own Golden Core Stage cultivation, but on the forces behind her.
If the Xiao family dared to harm her today, they could face total extermination tomorrow!!
But with Xiao Ran’s current cultivation, could he even hurt Su Wan?
To everyone’s shock, Xiao Ran stabbed the sword toward himself.
This move stunned everyone present.
Su Wan’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Xiao Ran.
What is he doing!?
Xiao Ran drove the sword through his chest—it was aid directly at his heart.
He didn’t want to live.
Su Wan was horrified.
As the sword pierced his chest, Xiao Ran’s eyes filled with hatred. He said to Su Wan:
“Su Wan, if heaven spares today, then one day I will repay this humiliation in full!”
Watching this scene, Su Wan felt a twinge of pity, and at the sa ti, was shocked by his resolve.
She hadn’t expected him to be so proud.
“Su Wan, our engagent is off. One day, I will co to challenge Mount Shushan.”
Su Wan’s eye twitched slightly. She said in a heavy voice:
“Fine! I’ll wait for you at Mount Shushan.”
“Ran’er!!”
Xiao Chengshan rushed over and caught Xiao Ran in his arms.
His wife had already left him—he couldn’t lose his child too.
“Hurry! Get soone here!”
Xiao Chengshan roared.
A few younger family mbers outside the door were knocked out cold by Xiao Chengshan’s overwhelming aura.
Xiao Chengshan glared at Su Wan with rage.
That look made Su Wan feel like she might be killed the next second, her face full of tension.
One by one, the veins on Xiao Chengshan’s forehead bulged like coiled dragons, each vein pulsing wildly, showing the intense fury and emotion within.
His hands were clenched so tightly the joints had turned white, as if he could crush the very air in his fists.
“The marriage is annulled. See the guest out!!”
Su Wan felt an overwhelming force rush toward her.
She instinctively stepped back half a step and glanced again at Xiao Ran on the ground. She took sothing from her storage ring.
“This is a special trauma dicine made by the Su family.”
Xiao Chengshan didn’t hesitate—he reached out and took it.
Now wasn’t the ti to be petty.
Who knew whether that stab Xiao Ran gave himself was fatal or not?
Unexpectedly, the heavily wounded Xiao Ran reached out and tossed the trauma dicine away.
Xiao Ran said with difficulty:
“I don’t need it. Take it away!
If I die today, then it’s heaven’s will.
If I don’t die, then it ans heaven gave a chance.
I, Xiao Ran, am not fated to die—one day, I’ll return this disgrace a hundredfold!”
After saying this, Xiao Ran passed out.
Su Wan looked at Xiao Ran deeply, then turned and walked away.
“Fine. I’ll be waiting!!”
