Chapter 199 Paying the Price
Although the head of the Suhe family has taken over the position of head of the family from his biological father, he is considered the most powerful person in the entire Suhe family.
But these great clans of cultivators always have a common problem, which is that they like to mess around with some useless and rigid rules.
So even though Su He is the head of the family, he still has to be considerate of the elders who are older than him.
Here, the head of the Su He family had just received the news that the two city lords refused to meet. Before he could go back and complain to his wife about how petty these two people were, several elders found him first.
"What are you doing? You dare to speak so arrogantly in other people's territory. Do you really not take Falling Dragon City and Feather Star City seriously?"
"Are you two here to apologize or to cause trouble? Do you have to offend the two city lords to death before you are satisfied?!"
"If this matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily, I think it would be better for someone else to take the position of Young Master Su He and Ji Ming!"
Several clan elders came up one after another. When the head of the Suhe family saw the messages they sent, his face changed instantly.
He pursed his lips tightly, feeling annoyed.
When will all these nosy elders die? !
But there was no other way. The other party was older than him, so he had to do something to show his respect.
Just as he was about to calm down and reply to the elders one by one, Patriarch Su He saw his wife quickly running out of the yard where his son was, with a sullen face, saying:
"Su Heyunfeng, what do those old men in your family mean? They actually dared to threaten me with Ji Ming's position as the young master! Do they want to replace him with someone else as the young master? Do they want to steal our Ji Ming's things?"
It turned out that this time, the elders not only went to see the head of the Suhe family, but also gave a talk to Madam Yuan.
The elders were already somewhat dissatisfied with the couple because of Su and Ji Ming's frail health. Now they heard that the boy had finally recovered, but instead of practicing well, he was causing trouble outside.
It even implicated their Suhe family and almost offended Zhuilong City and Yuxing City. Naturally, they disliked this young master even more.
In the world of cultivation, being weak is a sin. A person who will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future but is now so weak that he can't even protect himself, still wants to take advantage of so many benefits and not do anything, that is a huge sin.
The head of the Suhe family naturally knew this. He raised his hand and pinched his brows, and said to his wife helplessly: "It's okay, I will take care of this matter, don't worry."
"How can I not worry? They all want to take Ji Ming away!" Madam Yuan couldn't keep calm and was very unhappy.
The head of the Suhe family patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can take away Ji Ming's things."
At this point, the head of the Suhe family also knew that the sudden visit of several elders must be due to something the two city lords said.
It doesn’t matter. The worst that can happen is that I’ll bleed a little more this time. I’ll pacify those two people first and then go back to deal with the issues at home.
It was just for the sake of his son to bow his head to those two people, it was no big deal, Su He, the head of the family, comforted himself like this...
"They are really going too far!"
Patriarch Su He, who had just returned from City Lord Luo and Old City Lord Long, couldn't help but lose his temper as soon as he entered the door.
Madam Yuan was taking care of her son while he was taking medicine in the house. When she heard the Taoist partner's voice outside, she hurried out to see what was going on.
The usually calm face of the head of the Suhe family was now filled with anger, and his face turned red with anger.
"What's going on?" Madam Yuan stepped forward and asked. Didn't he go to discuss apology with the two city lords?
When this matter was mentioned, the head of the Suhe family was filled with anger: "They actually asked for a lot of money. Not only did they ask us for a large amount of spirit stones, they also asked us to give them the blood orchid!"
Speaking of Blood Orchid, Madam Yuan couldn't help but get excited: "Who the hell are they? How dare they covet Blood Orchid!"
Blood orchid is a very precious spiritual herb that can be used to repair damage to spiritual consciousness.
The couple had been searching for elixirs for their son, and this blood orchid was obtained by accident.
Although Su and Ji Ming did not need this thing, how could the couple not accept such a precious medicinal material when they came across it?
Blood orchids are very difficult to cultivate, and it takes thousands of years to grow a mature one. This thing was placed in their treasure house, and the two of them kept it well, not daring to neglect it at all.
They didn't expect that the two men would actually take a fancy to their blood orchid and want to take it as compensation.
Of course, Patriarch Suhe was unwilling to agree, but he also knew that if he did not satisfy these two people, they would definitely join forces with the elders of the clan to trip him up.
"Why don't we just take our son and leave and ignore them. After all, our Suhe family's property has nothing to do with them, and they can't threaten us in any way." Madam Yuan thought for a moment and said simply.
"You think they are too kind. As soon as we leave, they will exaggerate what Ji Ming did. Will our son still have a reputation in the world of cultivation?" said the head of the Suhe family helplessly.
Of course, he didn't want to lose face and apologize to City Lord Long and others, but for the sake of his son's reputation, he had to bow his head at this time.
When Madam Yuan heard this, she was extremely angry. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she knew in her heart that it was her son who was wrong this time.
Not to mention anything else, he just misjudged his own abilities, provoked the wrong people, and didn't act ruthlessly enough.
If he could knock the man down with one blow, he could just snatch the dragon bone and run away.
There is no evidence. As long as there is no dragon bone in their family, with just a few girls and a Yuxing City, their family can still withstand it.
But now he went to rob someone else's things and was injured by the Fire Ball he threw out. He was directly captured by Princess Luo and was also involved in the Falling Dragon City.
For a time, the situation was very unfavorable to the Suhe family. Even if the two of them wanted to protect their only son, it was difficult to do so for a while.
The couple did not agree to give away the blood orchid, and the old city lord Long was not polite to them and only gave Su He's family two days to make a choice.
During this period, the two city lords were not idle either. They looked for powerful weapon refiners everywhere, intending to deal with the dragon bone as soon as possible, in case someone heard about the existence of the dragon bone and came to talk to them about something else.
This dragon claw is not small. If it can be used well, maybe it can be used to forge a few more sets of armor.
By then, they will give a set to everyone they care about, and the two city lords will feel more at ease.
The two city lords were extremely calm, and didn't seem to care about Su He's choice at all. They handled the matters at hand in an orderly manner, and didn't care how anxious Su He and his wife were at this time.
Two days passed quickly, and under the treatment of the medical practitioner in Su He's family, Su He Ji Ming slowly recovered.
Although his internal injuries have not yet fully healed, he is now able to get out of bed and walk.
On the morning of the third day, before City Lord Long could ask his son to inquire about the result, Patriarch Suhe took the initiative to ask for a meeting and said that he would send the blood orchid as soon as they returned.
For the sake of their son, the couple had to compromise.
