After all, the Su family is a hereditary lord officially granted by the kingdom. Although in terms of scale and power, it is far inferior to the provincial prominent family Li family, but in terms of standards, it is still half a level higher than the Li family.
The Su family is a family of lords, and the Li family has been rooted in Dongxing City for many years, but they are not the lords of the provincial capital Dongxing City, and they do not have any fiefdoms under them.
No matter how remote Wuliu City is, it is still a city-level administrative area of the Yuehua Kingdom. Although the Su family, which has city autonomy, is not very powerful, its political voice in the kingdom is much higher than that of the Li family.
Otherwise, the Li family would not have married their eldest daughter to the Su family and formed an alliance with the Su family.
Su Changyun's rank was much lower than Li Shenhua's, but he was an old senior who had been famous for a long time. In addition, Su Changyun had a master behind him and connections in Dongxing City, so Li Shenhua chose to stop.
He put away the glazed scimitar and bowed slightly to Su Changyun who was flying up. "Elder Su, I am the one who offended you this time."
However, he paused, pointed at the giant demon rabbit in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "But this girl insulted my sister and even threatened her personal safety. As her brother, I must give her an explanation."
"Shenhua, you're wrong. This girl's name is Su Yuechen. She's your brother-in-law's little daughter and she's not even an adult yet! Your children are a generation older than her. Why bother arguing with her?" Su Changyun laughed heartily, winking at the magic rabbit in the distance while trying to comfort her. "Xiangyu just wanted to adopt this girl as her daughter, but she has a bad temper and she didn't want to, so we started a quarrel. Don't take these angry words of a little girl seriously, as an elder!"
Xu Xianxian didn't care about Su Changyun's look, but she didn't continue to take action. She just floated in the night sky, blocking the moonlight above and making the Su Mansion dim.
She didn't even bother to refute Su Changyun's words, and didn't even bother to open her mouth.
"Elder Su, is this really as you said? Why did I hear my sister say that this girl wanted to kill her?"
Li Shenhua's expression remained unchanged, still that faint indifference. Then, without waiting for Su Changyun to answer, he descended directly to the ground.
There was such a commotion outside that Li Xiangyu also came out. Just then she saw her brother coming down from mid-air and couldn't help but call out softly, "Brother, you're here!"
She sent the letter to her parents' home in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that her brother would come over just a few hours later.
"You're being bullied in the Su family. How could I, as your brother, not come?" Li Shenhua's cold and indifferent expression softened after seeing Li Xiangyu. Tenderness flickered in his eyes, but anger was hidden in his words. "Su Shiheng, that useless guy, didn't even come to help his wife when she was bullied! Sister, where is he?! I'm going to settle this account with him!"
Li Shenhua and Li Xiangyu have the same mother and father. As the eldest son and daughter of the Li family, they grew up together. The two siblings have a very good relationship. When Li Xiangyu married into the Su family, he even drank alone for several months.
Now, when he heard that his sister was in trouble, he immediately used the flying secret treasure to speed up his journey regardless of the loss, which was why he was able to reach Wuliu City so quickly.
"Don't blame Shiheng. He took on a project outside this month and has a busy schedule. He originally handed the affairs of the mansion to me, but he didn't expect... oh... blame me!"
Li Xiangyu glanced at the huge demon rabbit floating in the air, blocking out the sky and the sun, and a hint of resentment appeared in her beautiful pupils.
Li Shenhua was a man of substance, so he naturally sensed the emotion in Li Xiangyu's eyes. He couldn't help but frown and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what happened? Don't be afraid. Although you married into the Su family and are the eldest lady of the Su family, both I and my father are your strong supporters. If you have any grievances, just speak up."
Then he stopped smiling, pointed at the surrounding Su Family elders, and asked, "Are these Su Family elders going to judge you? What do they want to do?"
One of the elders close to the Li family saw this and shook his head and laughed, "Li Shenhua, you're going too far. Li Xiangyu is the wife of the Su family's lord, after all, and has a noble medal. Who would dare to do anything to her? If something really happens, Shiheng will come back and skin us old guys alive, right?"
"Then why are you holding a clan meeting? Don't think I don't know. Your Su family only holds such a meeting after a major accident. Elder Su Fuling, what exactly happened?"
Li Shenhua glanced at the elder of the Su family who spoke. He knew this person and had sent gifts to him before.
"It was Su Yuechen who accused Li Xiangyu of killing her biological mother." Elder Su Fuling smiled slightly. "Nephew Shenhua, our Su family is a lord's family after all. Everything has its rules and regulations. One is the lord's daughter, and the other is the lord's wife. When something like this happens, we must hold a meeting to confront and investigate. Don't blame us!"
"Sister, are they telling the truth?" Li Shenhua, though condescending, was not overbearing or unreasonable. He simply whispered to Li Xiangyu beside him, "How did this matter turn out?"
"Alas...Brother, it's a long story. A few of my trusted subordinates took it upon themselves to poison Yuechen's biological mother, which is why things turned out like this. However, the outcome of this matter has already come out, and it has nothing to do with me. However, I feel guilty about this case, and I want to adopt Su Yuechen as my own, but she has a bit of a temper, and she can't accept it for the time being..."
Li Xiangyu's eyes flashed, and she looked like she was sighing.
She had murderous intentions towards that little bitch Su Yuechen, but all the top leaders of the Su family were here, in full view of everyone. She couldn't possibly ask her brother to kill Su Yuechen, right?
In front of all the elders and the Grand Elder, she asked her brother from her mother's family to kill her husband's daughter...
If she were young, she might have done so, but now as the mistress of the Su family, if she said this, it would mean breaking with the entire Su family and would also cause a fight between the Su family and the Li family.
The interests damaged were too great, and it was no longer just her problem. Besides, Li Xiangyu's children and husband were still in the Su family, so making such a fuss would not benefit anyone.
"What a boring show."
Xu Xianxian didn't wait for these people to continue talking. Seeing that Li Shenhua had no intention of taking action, she just snorted coldly, put away the Demon Rabbit True Soul, and disappeared in the air in a flash.
She actually wanted to take the initiative, but she could feel that there was something wrong with the fluctuations in the nearby airspace. There was more than just Li Shenhua from the Li family, and she might not be able to kill Li Xiangyu now, let alone escape unscathed.
It's true that he is a genius, but due to the limitations of his physical body, his Dark Soul Technique is only at the tenth level. He can still suppress an ordinary twelve-ringed wizard, but when facing a genius wizard who possesses powerful magic tools and has a trump card, he is almost on par with him.
If other great mages were to assist, even if they weren't killed, they would certainly be suppressed. Xu Xianxian was bloodthirsty, but that didn't mean she was brainless. She had previously underestimated the power of the Li family, so she had no choice but to change her plans.
Moreover, the strong men of the Li family will not stay in Wuliu City for long, and there will be plenty of opportunities for them to take action.
