Chapter 20: Su Ming of the Su Family in Moyun City

The youth was stunned, not expecting the White-Robed Youth in front of him to refuse him without even thinking.

Xiao Fan glanced at the youth, then took out three hundred spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the shopkeeper, completing the transaction.

From beginning to end, Xiao Fan never gave him a proper look, which infuriated the youth.

“Kid, you refused me without even thinking. Do you know who I am?”

The youth coldly shouted, “I am from the Su Family of Moyun City. You better think carefully, don’t have money to buy but no life to use it!”

These words were clearly a threat. Xiao Fan’s expression darkened, and Long Miaoyin behind him also showed a worried look.

The Su Family of Moyun City was the largest family in the area, with a status similar to the Long Family in Jingchuan City, and they were much wealthier and had more masters than the Long Family.

“Young Master, this is the Treasure Pavilion. I hope you will be careful with your words,” the shopkeeper said in a deep voice.

Although he was somewhat embarrassed by the earlier unpleasantness with the youth, it didn’t mean he was afraid of this youth.

The Treasure Pavilion could stand in various places in Martial Emperor State, naturally, they had their own backing.

“I didn’t lay a hand; I just stated a fact. Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble in your Treasure Pavilion.”

The youth surnamed Su snorted coldly and said to Xiao Fan, “Let me tell you, my name is Su Ming. If you know what’s good for you, give me the item now, and this matter will be over. Otherwise…”

“Su Ming?”

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of many people on the second floor. Hearing the name Su Ming, many people recognized him.

The genius among the younger generation of the Su Family in Moyun City, who entered the Qi Transformation Realm at the age of twenty, and is now even at the Qi Transformation Realm Second Level!

Xiao Fan had heard of this Su Ming before, but he hadn’t expected to meet him under these circumstances today.

If it were in the past, he might have been jealous and tolerant of such a genius whose talent was only slightly inferior to his own younger brother, but now…

“Are you done talking? If you are, then get lost,” Xiao Fan said coldly.

“You, how dare you speak to me like that! You’re courting death!”

Su Ming was enraged. As a direct descendant of the Su Family in Moyun City, he was always respected wherever he went. Even family disciples of similar status would treat him courteously.

He had never been so humiliated.

His mind heated up, completely forgetting what he had just said about not causing trouble. He didn't care where he was and directly rushed forward, releasing his Qi Transformation Realm Second Level cultivation from all around him, striking out with an extremely fierce punch!

Xiao Fan frowned, but fortunately, he was already prepared and countered with a palm strike!

“Stop!”

The shopkeeper roared, but it was already too late.

Fist and palm collided. Su Ming, having struck first, naturally had the advantage, but he still staggered back five steps before steadying himself, his face flushed.

In contrast, Xiao Fan remained motionless, his expression unchanged.

Many people witnessed this scene, and everyone was surprised.

Su Ming was a genius of the Su Family, and his strength was among the top in the younger generation, on par with Long Xiaotian.

But unexpectedly, the White-Robed Youth opposite him actually gained the upper hand in the exchange!

“He is… Xiao Fan, the son-in-law of the Long Family, Xiao Fan!”

Someone on the scene recognized Xiao Fan’s identity and exclaimed. Hearing this person’s words, others also suddenly realized and recognized Xiao Fan’s identity.

If it were in the past, Xiao Fan might have been looked down upon in everyone’s eyes, but now… after his battle with Long Xiaotian, he had thoroughly made a name for himself.

“You are Xiao Fan? That waste who married into the Long Family?”

Su Ming was also surprised, not expecting the person opposite him to be Xiao Fan.

The Su Family was not a force in Jingchuan City. Although there was communication between the two cities, the information channels were not that timely, so they were not aware of the competition between Xiao Fan and Long Xiaotian. They had only heard that Xiao Fan had a younger brother, Xiao Tian, who was extremely talented and had joined the Piao Miao Immortal Palace, and then beat his elder brother half to death and sent him to the Long Family as a son-in-law in exchange for resources. Because of this incident, the Long Family lost face, which was why they paid attention to it.

“Who is being presumptuous? Fighting is not allowed in the Treasure Pavilion, don’t you know that?”

At this moment, the masters from the Treasure Pavilion arrived.

A middle-aged man, followed by more than ten cultivators, exuded an astonishing aura, which startled Xiao Fan.

He had only seen Long Anhai, whose cultivation was at the Qi Transformation Realm Great Perfection, release his aura. The middle-aged man in front of him was only slightly inferior to Long Anhai.

At least Qi Transformation Realm Seventh Level and above.

Su Ming was also surprised by the cultivation of the arriving person. The highest cultivated guard he brought this time was only at the Qi Transformation Realm Fifth Level.

Previously, the family had repeatedly warned them not to provoke the Treasure Pavilion, but no one had ever truly seen the Treasure Pavilion take action, so they were not clear about the Treasure Pavilion’s strength!

The middle-aged man’s gaze swept across the surroundings, and the scene instantly quieted down. His gaze lingered briefly on Xiao Fan and Su Ming before he looked at the shopkeeper and asked, “What happened?”

“This Young Master purchased the blood spirit ginseng, and this person wanted to forcibly buy it, and then a conflict occurred between the two parties…”

The shopkeeper briefly recounted the events. Xiao Fan was fine, but Su Ming’s face was ashen.

What was the concept of a strong person after the Qi Transformation Realm Seventh Level? His Su Family ancestor was only at the Tongtian Realm, and his Su Family Head was only at the Qi Transformation Realm Great Perfection. He never expected there to be such a level of strong person in this Treasure Pavilion.

“So, the two of you are the ones causing trouble?” The middle-aged man’s expression was stern as he looked at Xiao Fan and Su Ming.

Xiao Fan frowned, but did not speak.

Meanwhile, Su Ming on the other side hastily explained, “Sir, the matter just now was an accident. The other party insulted me first, which is why I acted impulsively and had no intention of offending the Treasure Pavilion.”

“There are no exceptions in the Treasure Pavilion. If a conflict occurs within the Treasure Pavilion, anyone involved, no matter who they are, will have an arm severed as punishment.”

The middle-aged man spoke coldly, his tone icy.

“Sir, I am from the Su Family of Moyun City. My grandfather is Su Hongyun… Please, Sir, for my grandfather’s sake, give me a chance.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned. He naturally knew about the Su Family and didn’t want to offend them over such a small matter. After thinking for a moment, he said, “In that case, you pay two hundred spirit stones as a fine, and this matter will be settled. But there will be no next time!”

“Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir.”

Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him. Two hundred spirit stones were nothing to him. Then, he looked at Xiao Fan with a gloating expression, wondering what he would do.

“It’s your turn. Will you sever your own arm, or do you want me to do it!” The middle-aged man spoke coldly, his gaze fixed on Xiao Fan.

“This… Senior Pang, the one who caused trouble first just now was the person opposite, and it has nothing to do with this young brother.” The shopkeeper couldn’t stand it and spoke up to explain for Xiao Fan.

“Shut up. When did it become your turn to speak about how I judge?” The middle-aged man said coldly.

Everyone present knew that Xiao Fan was in trouble…
