"What on earth happened? How did it get like this?"
As evening fell, the three siblings, Su Jinhao and his sister, who had been thoroughly exploited by Liang Hao and squeezed dry of their last penny, returned to the Su residence in a disheveled state.
The three of them were in a truly miserable state.
Not only did Liang Hao, the sixth brother, rob them of all their spirit stones, but he also took their gold and silver jewelry and even the silver dust from their shoes.
Only after confirming that not a single breath of air could be squeezed out of their farts did they reluctantly let them leave.
The three of them returned to the mansion and were about to go back to their rooms to rest and change when they were spotted by Su Lingzhang, who had just returned to the mansion. They were then taken directly to a side hall.
Seeing the three of them in such a state, Yin Jiao'e felt heartbroken and immediately said to Su Lingzhang, "Husband, don't get so angry. We should find out the reason for this."
Then she beckoned to Su Xuejiao, her face full of kindness: "Xuejiao, come here, come to your mother's side."
"mother……"
Su Xuejiao immediately acted coquettishly and quickly rushed into Yin Jiao'e's arms.
Yin Jiao'e stroked her head affectionately until she noticed that the jade hairpin in her hair was missing. She frowned slightly and asked softly, "Xuejiao, where is your hairpin?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xuejiao's eyes immediately reddened, and she adopted a coquettish demeanor.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't protect the hairpin you gave me. I'm so useless, hit me if you want..."
"It's okay, it's okay if it's lost. Mom will buy you another one later. As long as you're alright, everything will be fine."
Su Lingzhang glanced at the mother and daughter, sighed helplessly, and then said to his two sons, "What exactly happened? Someone explain it to me!"
Su Jinyi lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "Father, we encountered bandits in the city today."
"What nonsense!" Su Lingzhang exclaimed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "What kind of bandits are so bold as to dare to touch even members of my Su family?"
Su Jinyi: "Not only my elder brother and I, but even the young master of the Ji family was robbed."
"What did you say?"
Su Lingzhang's face was filled with disbelief.
Su Jinyi continued, "It's absolutely true. To be honest, my brother, my sister, and I suffered relatively minor losses. Even Young Master Ji's Pin Yue Ju restaurant was robbed."
"What? This matter involves the Ji family?" Su Lingzhang was deeply surprised. "Pinyueju has been robbed? How is that possible? Who is so bold as to offend both the Ji and Su families at the same time? Do they have a death wish?"
Su Jinhao replied, "Father, the newcomer's cultivation is unfathomable. Even with my second brother and Young Master Ji joining forces, we couldn't withstand a single blow from him."
"Who have you offended?"
"Father, as you know, I've been cultivating at Nanshan Academy these past few days. How could I have had time to offend anyone?"
"Then why would such a powerful expert appear in this Juzhou City? What do you think his cultivation level is?"
Su Jinhao thought for a moment and said, "At least a third-grade Soul Sea Realm cultivation level."
Among the nine realms of the Immortal Martial Continent, the overall strength of the Southern Region is at a mid-to-lower level. Someone like Su Jinhao, who is twenty-six years old and at the peak of the ninth rank of Na Yuan, is already considered an outstanding figure among his generation.
After all, in Su Jinhao's and the others' minds, the Soul Sea Realm was already an extremely powerful existence, something that would make them very proud.
I dare not even think about anything higher, because that's the limit of my imagination.
Su Lingzhang frowned: "The third rank of the Soul Sea Realm, is it? It seems this person has quite a background."
Seeing her father's solemn expression, Su Jinyi immediately said, "Father, don't worry. Young Master Ji has already gone back to find Uncle. This matter will definitely not end well today."
Yin Jiao'e also agreed: "That's right. Juzhou City is ruled by our Ji and Su families. No matter who that person is, daring to slap our two families in the face like this, this matter will not be resolved so easily."
Su Lingzhang: "That's right. Now that someone wants to threaten the status of the Ji and Su families, we must nip them in the bud."
At this point, he immediately said to Su Jinyun beside him, "Yun'er, go and prepare some small gifts, and come with me to the Ji family."
"Yes, Father, I'll go prepare right away."
"As for you guys, hurry up and pack your things. There's a tough battle going to happen at Pin Yue Ju tonight."
Now is a crucial moment for standing shoulder to shoulder with the Ji family; all members of the Su family must be on their guard.
"Yes, Father!"
Su Jinhao and Su Jinyi responded at the same time.
At this moment, Su Yunying calmly returned to the mansion. As she passed by the side hall, she couldn't help but take a look.
"You bastard! Where have you been?!"
Upon seeing Su Yunying pass by, Su Lingzhang's heart sank, and his face darkened.
Not only him, but the faces of the rest of the Su family also turned somber.
Su Yunying glanced around the side hall, then stood at the door with no intention of coming in.
"Oh, what's wrong with you, Master Su? Why are you so angry? Has your house been burgled?"
First of all, I'm not home today, so don't even think about blaming me.
Su Jinhao was furious upon hearing this: "How dare you speak to your father like that!"
“What do you want me to say?” Su Yunying retorted. “Am I supposed to call him ‘father’ affectionately and then kneel on the ground and listen quietly to his lecture?”
Su Lingzhang was furious: "What kind of attitude is this! I'm your father!"
Upon seeing this, Su Xuejiao quickly ran to Su Lingzhang and gently comforted him, "Father, don't be angry, my sister didn't mean it."
Then he said to Su Yunying, "Sister, although Father was a bit harsh with you, he was just concerned about you. Please don't make him angry, okay?"
Su Lingzhang affectionately rubbed Su Xuejiao's head: "Xuejiao is so sensible, unlike some wild girls who have no manners at all."
