The statement made by Su Laotian stunned all the Elders who were present at the meeting, both those who were aware of the plot and those who weren't. This was because the statement had a hidden meaning in it.
It was so shocking that they who were Elders and were more experienced in terms of cultivation and age weren't able to noticed that absurd occurrence.
This guy in question was given birth to without any sacred veins, how was it possible for him to withstand an attack from a level three Qi Condensation practitioner like Su Haoyu?
"So what do you suggest Su Laotian." Su Zhen finally broke the silence he was in a hurry to see a where this scheming, little kid was heading to with his cornering statement.
"An offer." Su Laotian scoffed before barely opening his mouth to speak. He still had that look of confidence in his eyes.
"Su'er be straight forward in your statement." Su Wushuang spoke in an upright tone.
"Alright the punishment which is also research is that in a month's time I will face Lin Yujia in a battle." Su Laotian finally made his statement clear and straight forward and it finally made a little sense to Lin Yujia.
The boy was trying to prove himself better than Lin Yujia for the final and most important thing which was strength.
If he finally defeated Lin Yujia in actual battle, he will become the most preferred candidate to take over the Su Clan, as long as he was concerned, his plans for his good were big and steady, and it wasn't indefinite as Lin Yujia who he was trying to defeat didn't have any sacred veins.
Funny enough, he was even trying to humiliate Lin Yujia and give him a long lasting trauma that will even kill the remaining bit of hope his brother has to cultivate.
Unfortunately, Lin Yujia didn't seem scared or surprised as he knew from the kick of the event when everything was going one sided.
Meanwhile, everybody present in the hall was waiting for Su Wushuang to give either a positive response or a negative one.
However, how will Su Wushuang who has always been proud of his second grandson reject his 'peaceful' offer.
"Ok, Laotian since it will not cause any more harm to the activities of the clan, it is considered the best way to solve this issue really." Su Wushuang said while his face was full of smiles.
Lin Yujia could feel the heated gazes that were all full of disdain and mockery. How long was he going to live this kind of life? It's been sixteen years since he has being going through all this shit but from that on, Lin Yujia decided in his heart that he was going to seize power directly from the heavens for allowing to suffer this type of horrible fate for ling sixteen years.
After all, sixteen years was long enough to rewrite anything that he had done in his former life.
Lin Yujia walked of the room disappointed with his present state, he didn't expect that till this time the heavens left him alone powerless in this cruel world.
......…..
Later on, a white haired youth is walking towards a house not too far from the palace, the house is small but considering the amount of people living in the house it is still manageable.
The tall white robed youth is wearing tattered white robes and is walking at a fast pace towards the little bungalow in his sight.
"Senior Sister Niang, are you okay?" a considerable masculine voice sounded from behind Su Niang but she is not afraid instead she tilts her head backward and rushes to hug Lin Yujia who also hugs her in turn.
"Senior Sister Niang, I'm sorry that I disobeyed you and caused you so much pain and disgrace today." Lin Yujia said in a whispering but audible tone.
"Little Lin, sometimes we have to go out of the rules to survive, it's not your fault and Senior Sister does not blame you for that."
Su Niang replies emphatically while patting Lin Yujia who is almost close to weeping.
"Also, forgive Senior Sister I forgot today was your birthday. I made you your favourite dish." Su Niang said again emphatically bu this time there was a bit of pity in her tone.
The lad had gone through a lot today. Su Niang was the first to break the long, intimate embrace. Then she brought out a ceramic pot and plate intending to serve Lin Yujia.
Lin Yujia on the other hand doesn't have the appetite for any sort of food this night, Su Laotian had ruined his day for him which he intended paying back.
"Senior Sister Niang, little brother doesn't have appetite for food today." There was an emotionless look on Lin Yujia's face but on his extremely handsome face was also the feeling of anger and pain, the expression was quite complicated.
"Ttt! Little brother, that's where you get things wrong, Su Laotian did this to you so you wouldn't be able to smile with your big sister. Besides how will you be able to get back your sacred veins if you don't eat your big sister meal? "Su Niang said while approaching Lin Yujia who was sitting legs crossed on a mat.
Those words from Su Niang really brought back Lin Yujia from his down spirited mind and he now had a light of hope though it was still very dim but at least there was hope.
"Since Senior Sister Niang doesn't doubt me then it is still possible." said Lin Yujia who was still feeling the impact of those powerful words .
However, Su Niang knew how to manipulate her little brother very well, so she gave him the plate of fish soup and she watched him eat it while they discussed.
"The soup is actually medicinal and it'll refresh your bones and strength. You've lost enough today." Su Niang alerted Lin Yujia while sheepishly watching him eat it.
