After passing through a wind and rain corridor, the few of them arrived at the courtyard where the central hall was located.
At this moment, there were already many people gathered in the courtyard. There were juniors of the younger generation of the Su Family, as well as martial artists who served the Su Residence. When they saw An Ruyi and the others walk in, they looked over in unison.
The first to receive attention were naturally An Ruyi and Su Lianqing, the three devastatingly beautiful sisters. They immediately attracted everyone's attention. Then, everyone noticed Ji Ling, who was beside the three of them. This made them puzzled. Didn't Su Chun only have a pair of daughters? Who was this kid?
"I heard that Second Uncle General Manor has produced a world-shocking genius. Could it be him?”
A fifteen-year-old girl blinked her eyes curiously as she looked at Ji Ling and guessed.
"He's the one who entered Xiantian ninth stage at the age of eighteen and beat up Wang Shao and his subordinates…the servant of the General's Estate?”
"It seems to be true. He looks about this age.”
"Tsk, what shocking genius? It's just a rumor. Do you really believe that there's such a heaven-defying genius?”
"It's impossible to believe. Big Brother Su Cheng's talent is so high. He only broke through to Xiantian ninth stage at the age of twenty-seven. This kid is only eighteen years old. How can he cultivate to such a high realm?”
"That's right, it's simply nonsense!”
The group of Su Clan juniors whispered to each other. They were all curious about Ji Ling's strength, but most of them were doubtful. No one believed that Ji Ling really had such monstrous martial arts talent as rumored. In their opinion, this was simply unrealistic!
"Ji Ling, wait outside for a moment.”
When they reached the central hall, An Ruyi could not bring Ji Ling in casually. After all, this was not the General's Estate, and she had to follow the Su Family's rules.
An Ruyi then led the two sisters into the central hall.
Su Cheng followed them in while Ji Ling found a spot where no one was around. He secretly released his spiritual power and kept an eye on the situation in the central hall.
……
At this moment, in the central hall, the Su family's higher-ups were sitting upright, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Sister-in-law, you've been in the limelight for the past two days.”
Su Zhan narrowed his eyes at An Ruyi, and his tone carried a trace of unfriendliness.
"Big brother, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush.”
An Ruyi replied indifferently. She knew that she would inevitably be targeted when she returned to the Su Family this time, so she was mentally prepared in advance.
"Alright, since sister-in-law said so, I'll ask directly.”
Su Zhan was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked bluntly,"What is your relationship with Shen Wansan?”
Upon hearing Su Zhan's question, An Ruyi's expression did not change. She said calmly,"Big brother is also as boring as the people in the marketplace, making wild guesses after hearing some groundless rumors.”
"There's no smoke without fire. I believe that nothing comes out of nowhere.”
Su Zhan said aggressively.
An Ruyi seemed to have been angered and retorted coldly,""Brother Su Zhan, I respect you as my elder brother, so please respect me! I, An Ruyi, have been innocent all my life. When have I ever done anything indecent? What right do you have to taint my innocence without any basis?”
"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for speaking harshly. This is not only related to the reputation of my Su family, but also to the reputation of my second brother!”
Su Zhan said solemnly,"Second brother has just suffered and his soul has yet to rest in peace, but such unbearable rumors are spreading at this time. How do you want the world to view this? If there is no truth to this matter, won't my second brother's reputation be ruined and he will be laughed at by the whole world?”
"Brother Su Zhan, let me tell you clearly that Shen Wansan and I only have a little business dealings. Other than that, we have nothing to do with each other! If you continue to slander me with this, don't blame me for falling out with you!”
An Ruyi said coldly.
"Humph, what a good 'it doesn't matter!'"
Su Zhan snorted coldly and glared at An Ruyi."If you two are not related, why would Shen Wansan send people to protect you? And why did he not hesitate to risk offending the Crown Prince and send a martial grandmaster to wreak havoc in the Wang family to warn everyone?”
"Do you think that I have an affair with Shen Wansan based on this? Can't there be any other reason?"
An Ruyi did not show any weakness as she met Su Zhan's gaze. There was not a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Seeing An Ruyi's reaction, Su Zhan couldn't help but hesitate. Could it be that he had really misunderstood?
Suddenly, Su Zhan thought of something and looked at An Ruyi with a burning gaze."If you want to talk about other reasons, I heard that there is a peerless genius in your residence. At the age of eighteen, he has cultivated the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Art to the fourth stage, and his cultivation has reached the unprecedented Xiantian ninth stage…Could it be that Shen Wansan is protecting the General's residence because of this?”
"That's right, it's because of him!"
Before An Ruyi could speak, Su Ruoning, who was at the side, answered first. She stood up and continued,"With Brother Ji Ling's talent, any force that owns him will do their best to protect him, right? Wasn't it natural for Shen Wansan to send people to protect him?”
"Sister Ruoning, even if you lie, you have to make it more real. Do you think it's possible to cultivate to the Xiantian ninth stage at the age of eighteen? Moreover, I heard that he is a servant. How can a mere servant have such unprecedented martial arts achievements? Could he be the reincarnation of an immortal?”
A twenty-year-old direct descendant of the Su family said in a teasing tone. He was Su Zhan's second son, Su Xu.
"Su Xu, stop looking down on me!”
Su Ruoning was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She instantly exploded and angrily glared at Su Xu."What's wrong with a servant? He's so powerful. Are you not convinced?"
"Hehe, I'm really not convinced. It just so happens that I've also broken through to the Xiantian realm recently. Why don't you call that kid out and I'll spar with him?”
Su Xu said provocatively.
"You? Do you believe that Brother Ji Ling can kill you with a single finger?”
Su Ruoning looked at Su Xu with disdain.
Su Xu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Then, he squeezed out three words from between his teeth with a dark face,"Me! No! Yes!"
