"We just want to catch a glimpse of the Heavenly Book and broaden our horizons. The Su family shouldn't be so stingy."

Those Martial Artists who originally had no good reason began to chime in again, taking advantage of that person's words.

Su Hualin looked at the messy crowd in front of him, furrowing his brows. This was exactly the kind of situation he feared, yet here it was.

"Are you guys idiots? Do you really believe all those vague and ethereal rumors?" Huo Wensong was also quite upset at this moment; his bad temper flared up, and he glared as he spoke, "I'm telling you, we don't have any Heavenly Book; you better get lost!"

In fact, the same sentence, spoken by different people and in different tones, can convey different meanings, and the listeners' feelings will differ as well.

So, the moment Huo Wensong said that, Su Zhengyi inwardly sighed that this was bad!

Sure enough, those Martial Artists who usually wouldn't dare to confront Huo Wensong directly, especially after he said such harsh words, suddenly found the courage. Of course, this was also because they thought they had the numbers.

"Though the Linghuo Sect is big and powerful, Young Master Huo is too arrogant, isn't he?"

"Why can't we see the Heavenly Book? It's not owned by any one person."

"Young Master Huo is probably afraid we have ulterior motives for the Heavenly Book."

"..."

The crowd's words came like waves, each higher than the last!

Huo Wensong was even more irritated at this moment and immediately wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Li Jinjiang at his side.

"Young Sect Master, don't be impulsive." Li Jinjiang looked at Huo Wensong and then said in a low voice, "Let's see how the Su family handles this."

Huo Wensong nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Su Hualin and said, "Do you really want to let them see my betrothal gift?"

Su Hualin inwardly cursed Huo Wensong for causing trouble and now daring to complain about it, but who could afford to defy Huo Wensong?

Su Hualin looked at the people before him, his expression dark, and said, "Your demands are very rude. Even if we had the Heavenly Book, we wouldn't show it to you. Show me someone who truly deserves to see the Heavenly Book!"

Su Hualin's imposing manner was significant, and instantly, those Martial Artists who had been noisy earlier were now looking at each other.

When in a group, they could bolster their courage by relying on the presence of others, but if someone had to step forward alone, that person might really prefer to face death than yield.

However, at this moment, one person stepped forward.

"Hello, Mr. Su. I don't have much skill, but I heard there's a Heavenly Book here. I suppose, since you've asked for someone to step forward, it shouldn't be to make an example of them."

Su Hualin truly hadn't expected anyone to step forward at this moment, and this person's words were veiled with hidden barbs.

Even if Su Hualin had just had such an idea, if he acted against this young man now, those around would surely think the Su family was silencing witnesses and using force to cover the truth that the Su family had the Heavenly Book.

By that time, those coming to the Su family seeking the Heavenly Book would far exceed the hundred or so present.

Su Hualin looked at the young man and said, "I assure you, the Su family absolutely does not have the Heavenly Book."

"However, it's rumored that the Linghuo Sect offered a betrothal gift to the Su family, with the most important element being a fragment of the Heavenly Book. Some say Huo Wensong could only marry Lady Su with the Heavenly Book fragment. Is it true?"

"What do you mean by that?" Huo Wensong's expression turned cold. He sprang toward the young man without another word and swung a punch.

However, the young man reacted quickly, deftly dodging Huo Wensong's punch and retreating swiftly, saying, "Young Master Huo, what do you mean by this? Are you saying Lady Su is less valuable than the mere fragment of a Heavenly Book?"

Huo Wensong was about to grab the young man but stopped in his tracks at that sharp remark.

At this moment, Huo Wensong was filled with hatred for the young man before him. The young man's words were like a sharp blade aimed directly at Huo Wensong's weak spots.

Huo Wensong couldn't counter because no matter how he replied, it would be wrong.

If Huo Wensong said Su Yun was more precious than the Heavenly Book, then why did he suddenly attack just now?

But if Huo Wensong said the Heavenly Book was more precious, it would immediately offend the Su family, and if such words reached Su Yun's ears, then...

Huo Wensong's expression was extremely unpleasant.

However, at this moment, Huo Wensong's eyes lit up, for he had spotted someone.

"You dare to come here?" Huo Wensong pointed at a young man in the crowd.

The young man was none other than Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao had just been hiding among the crowd enjoying the spectacle, but now Huo Wensong had recognized him.

Ye Xiao chuckled, slowly stepped out from the crowd, and said with a laugh, "Young Master Huo, long time no see, I've missed you."

"It's true what they say, that one finds what they're looking for without any trouble. Today, I'll kill you first." Just a few days ago, Ye Xiao almost caused Huo Wensong to meet his end, an unforgivable and deadly affront to someone so afraid of death.

But Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, let's set aside our past grievances for now. With so many people here, it's not the place for you and me to perform."

Huo Wensong snorted coldly and said, "You've dared to come here today; I guarantee you'll have no return."

"Thank you, I hadn't planned on leaving so easily. But I did hear recently that your Linghuo Sect's betrothal gift is a fragment of the Heavenly Book. To be honest, I really want to take a look, and of course, all you brave heroes probably want to see it too." Ye Xiao smiled at Huo Wensong.

Su Zhengyi didn't know Ye Xiao, nor did Li Jinjiang, but Su Hualin did.

Su Hualin knew Ye Xiao's strength was not ordinary, so when he saw Ye Xiao, he quickly and somewhat shockedly looked at Su Zhengyi and whispered, "Father, this person is not simple. We should have Wensong return quickly; otherwise, there might be trouble."

Su Zhengyi was puzzled and said, "He doesn't look like a very powerful person."

"He is the man Yunyun likes," Su Hualin said.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhengyi immediately looked at Ye Xiao again, knowing Su Hualin had told him what happened when Su Yun returned to the Su family a few days ago.
