Entering into the inner chamber already was the people he hated most sitting down and smirking at him, it could be considered a grin when it came to Su Haozi.
Also seated in the center was the Clan Leader Su Wushuang and elderly man in his sixties, in his eyes was raw wisdom and he had a powerful cultivation of late stage Golden Core which was a very high and splendid level of cultivation for people in the region.
In his mind Lin Yujia was still thinking about the possibility of a bastard as they would call him being able to gather the presence of the top decision makers in the clan.
However that was not his major problem now as his junior mediocre of a brother was staring at him intently, and putting the pressure of a fifth level Qi condensation practitioner on him.
Very funny enough even his younger brother had a more steady and more recognizable cultivation than him who was two years older than him.
Lin Yujia will not be surprised at all if he were to know that this was planned by him and his terrible mother who didn't give a damn about his life or death.
"Lin Yujia, you have been summoned by the authorities of the Su clan, I hope you are very well aware of your crimes." Su Wushuang was the first one to voice out his mind to the bastard of a son.
"I didn't commit any crimes that would bring about the gathering of elders." Lin Yujia was playing tricky here, he was trying to esteem the Elders which he already knew had no liking towards him.
"Impudence!"
All of a sudden Su Houtian barked at Lin Yujia with obvious discretion.
"How dare you deny your crimes young man, destruction of the peace and well going of the Su clan is not enough reason for us to gather." Su Houtian feigned anger and disgust as if he was referring to a demon.
Lin Yujia struggled to maintain his calm on the outside but in the inside, laughter wrecked his ribs in half. Elder Su Houtian really lacked acting skills and it was very obvious that it was planned.
Lin Yujia remained calm and uttered no word of defence against the accusation of Elder Su Houtian and this made him more weary.
Actually, Lin Yujia knew of scheme going on but he needed to be sure about the exact amount of Elders that have sold their tongue, after all he too came to the market to trade and they needed enough evidence to punish him so he had not much to worry about except from the intent gaze that the sly Su Laotian was giving him, apart from the intensity in the gaze, there was a look of confidence that his elder brother was going down.
This made the heart of Lin Yujia to skip a beat as he was well aware of the danger of this childish boy sitting.
"Have you lost your tongue or does your silence prove us right?" Su Hong smiled slyly while he released those calm but deadly and incriminating words from his mouth.
Ha!
This one was cunny too, and was worthy of challenge so Lin Yujia was ready to talk him down.
"I believe that Elder Su Hong must have gotten the right information on the whole matter as I have nothing to say, if I have been incriminated wrongly I also deserve an apology." Lin Yujia snorted and looked away.
There was dead silence everywhere as this kid was just too impetuous to demand an apology from his Elders.
"You are wrong here young lad, you have been charged with crimes and have not been incriminated." Su Zhen finally spoke and his words were the only meaningful words to him in this meaning and this man was really worthy of the respect given to him.
"Elder Su Zhen, I shall explain the whole incident in few words, I was in the clan's market this morning to sell my goods when I was attacked by Su Haoyu and his gang of miscreants, yet when I was being called forth by the council of elders, he who brought the fight was nowhere to be seen or could it be that he is justified and I am the one at fault." Lin Yujia directed his speech to the hearing of Su Zhen.
His words brought another weight in the gathering as they were purging of truth, it could not be possible that he caused all the much damage they said he caused.
Obviously if they were to be a fight, two people were to be involved but in the term of Lin Yujia's case he was the only the only one detained.
"Su Hong what about Su Haoyu or are you trying to paint a false picture hear." Su Wushuang descended on Su Hong and Su Hong was in a tight corner at the moment.
Things were becoming bright for Lin Yujia and he was becoming suspicious and observant because since the failure of Su Houtian to penetrate the matter to another level, he had become as quiet as night and seemed less concerned about the matter like he already knew the outcome.
Another pressing issue was that the Pavilion Elder was still quiet and hadn't said a word from the beginning of the gathering to this time and it seemed as if he was another greater trump card and was also better in acting than Elder Su Houtian.
Su Tian Wei also was also mute in the gathering but Lin Yujia was less cared about him as what influence could he cause as he was not that outspoken and powerful in the council of the elders.
"Em… Clan leader according to how I was informed the person at fault was Lin Yujia as he refused to reach an agreement with Su Haoyu and decide to his fist to force him to reach an agreement." Su Hong stammered as he was forced to give a fake account of an incident which he didn't personally witness.
However, it seemed like Su Hong really knew what he was doing and he was more skilled at lying and scheming, no wonder he was favored by Su Haozi as she could use his skill to do her dirty biddings like this one with Lin Yujia's head at stake.
