Chapter 5: Chapter 5: A Slap!
Editor: Exodus Tales
“Rumor has it that the First Miss of the Xiao Family is beautiful and immensely talented, having been admitted to the Cold Cloud Sect at a young age and soon to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple. She is indeed the goddess in the hearts of many young men in Yuanshan County,” Su Han paused, then continued, “But now it seems somewhat undeserved! You kick open the door so rudely when paying a visit, you see someone’s body then call them indecent. Perhaps, in Yuanshan County, when you want men to behave a certain way, they do, but I’m sorry, I, Su Han, am not one of them.”
“You!”
Xiao Yuhui’s pretty face flushed red, feeling both embarrassed and angry.
After all, from her viewpoint, he was her future brother-in-law!
She doted on her sister, Xiao Yuran, who was so pitifully innocent. If it weren’t for her insistence, why would Xiao Yuran, as the esteemed Second Miss of the Xiao Family, condescend to marry into the tempestuous Su Family?
It was for this reason that Xiao Yuhui, having returned to visit her family from the Cold Cloud Sect, learned of Su Han’s unwillingness to marry Xiao Yuran and furiously came to confront him.
Who would have thought she’d catch Su Han unclothed?
As Xiao Yuran’s older sister, Xiao Yuran probably hadn’t even seen what Su Han looked like, yet here was Xiao Yuhui, having seen all of him, unsure of her own feelings.
If it were another man, seen and done, but Su Han was different!
If Su Han truly married Xiao Yuran, Xiao Yuhui and Su Han would inevitably meet often, and that would just be awkward.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Xiao Yuhui felt, almost ready to explode.
“Am I wrong?” Su Han said indifferently.
He was not afraid of Xiao Yuhui, since both had opened Eight Dragon Veins, but he possessed Martial Skills that could sweep through all his peers in the same Realm. In terms of battle power, Su Han was leagues above Xiao Yuhui—this so-called genius of Yuanshan County was nothing to him.
Xiao Yuhui bit her lip, staying silent for a long while before finally swallowing her anger.
“I didn’t come here to argue with you, but to ask why you refuse to marry my sister?” Xiao Yuhui said coldly.
“The Su Family only discussed it this morning, and by the afternoon, the news reached the Xiao Family, quite fast indeed!” Su Han said mockingly.
Clearly, there was a mole in the Su Family; otherwise, how could the Xiao Family have known?
“Don’t change the subject. Answer my question!” Xiao Yuhui said.
Su Han replied indifferently, “Not wanting to marry is simply not wanting to marry, why must there be a reason? Should I, Su Han, let others decide whom to marry?”
“Ridiculous, do you think you’re still that genius from before?”
Xiao Yuhui sneered, “Su Han, I know everything that’s happened to you, and so does my sister. You’re now just a… a common person, not even a maid from the Xiao Family would want to marry you.”
“That’s for the best.” Su Han shrugged.
“Bastard!”
Seeing how casually Su Han responded, Xiao Yuhui grew even angrier, “What infuriates me is that even though you can no longer cultivate, my sister still insists on marrying you. I really don’t understand what spell she’s under. If you truly loved each other, it would be one thing, but she hasn’t even met you. Why is she so persistent?”
“You should ask her that.” Su Han replied lightly.
“No, today you must give me an explanation, or I will teach you a lesson, you little bastard!” Xiao Yuhui said coldly.
“Teach me a lesson?”
Su Han suddenly smiled, stretched out his right hand, and provocatively gestured to Xiao Yuhui, “Then come.”
“You’re pushing back against me? Do you really think that just because Yuran took interest in you, I can’t touch you?”
Xiao Yuhui was ready to strike; she could no longer hold back. If it had been any other man, she would have already slapped him away, but to her surprise, Su Han was still here, provoking her repeatedly.
“Wait!”
But at that moment, Su Yunming’s voice came from not far away.
Su Han and Xiao Yuhui both looked over and saw a large group of people running toward them, with the Four Great Family Heads of the Su Family at the forefront.
“Miss Yuhui graces us with her presence; it’s a shame we couldn’t welcome you from afar. Please, don’t blame Uncle Su!” Su Yunming entered the room, wiping off a cold sweat.
Xiao Yuhui’s tense expression softened slightly and she said, “It’s my fault for not informing Uncle Su of my visit. I hope for Uncle Su’s forgiveness.”
“Not at all, not at all,” Su Yunming replied with a forced smile.
Su Han was somewhat surprised. It seemed that Xiao Yuhui was not the unreasonable type after all.
“Miss Yuhui, what brings you here so suddenly?” asked Su Yunlie.
Xiao Yuhui said directly, “It’s nothing much, just that I heard Su Han didn’t want to marry my sister, so I came to ask him what the reason is.”
At this statement, everyone’s expression changed.
So she had come to seek accountability!
Especially Su Yunming and Su Yunlie, they were extremely surprised. Su Han’s unwillingness to marry Xiao Yuran had only happened that morning; how could Xiao Yuhui have known about it so quickly?
The two glanced at each other and then turned to look at Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng.
Both of them were looking down, their faces devoid of any expression.
“These two bastards, as if the situation in the Su Family wasn’t bad enough already!”
Almost immediately, Su Yunming cursed inwardly, sure that it must have been Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng who had spread the news.
Once the Xiao Family knew about it, they would surely be furious. They wouldn’t just confront Su Han; the entire Su Family might get involved. At that point, Su Yunchen and his co-conspirator would find all sorts of excuses to oust him from his position as Family Head.
“So what does Han’er say?”
Su Yunming asked cautiously, continuously signaling Su Han with his eyes as he spoke.
However, Su Han behaved as if he hadn’t noticed, simply stating flatly, “I said if I don’t want to marry, I don’t want to marry. I, Su Han, don’t need anyone else to tell me what to do.”
“Bastards!”
Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng had been waiting for this very response from Su Han. Su Yunchen immediately stepped forward and shouted, “Su Han, having the Second Miss of the Xiao Family willing to marry you is your great fortune. Don’t be ungrateful!”
“Su Han, you know your own situation, don’t be pretentious here. No one will laugh at you.”
Su Mingxuan stepped out from behind Su Yunchen. His words said not to laugh, but his tone was full of mockery.
Su Han glanced at Su Mingxuan, slowly walked over.
Everyone thought that Su Han was going to walk over to Su Yunming, as only he could save him now.
But, when Su Han reached Su Mingxuan, his steps paused slightly, his right hand suddenly stretched out, and with a slap, he fiercely slapped Su Mingxuan across the face!
