Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 348: Expelled from the Mu Family

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Expelled from the Mu Family

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked by that address of "Master".

The smug expressions on Jiang Longshan and the others’ faces gradually stiffened, while Mu Guangping and Wang Feng’s schadenfreude abruptly stopped, and Mu Tianxiong and Su Qingyan’s worry turned into astonishment.

"Ma... Master? What does the Ancestor mean by this, why would he call that kid Master?" Jiang Yunlei looked towards the Jiang Family members on either side, puzzled, but the confusion on their faces was even deeper than his.

Chen Fan was also taken aback at this moment, looking at the familiar old man before him with a feeling of being torn between laughter and tears.

This elder of the Jiang Family was actually the Taiyi Ancestor!

He had originally thought that having a Divine Realm master as an opponent would be good for stretching his muscles; now it seemed there would be no chance for a fight.

The Taiyi Ancestor quickly walked towards Chen Fan, asking with full respect, "Master, what are you doing here?"

Chen Fan, however, asked, "Your surname is Jiang?"

The Taiyi Ancestor nodded, "Yes, Jiang Taiyi is indeed my name."

At this point, Jiang Longshan came over, somewhat anxiously saying, "Ancestor, the person we are dealing with today is this kid, why are you calling him Master? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

The Taiyi Ancestor turned around, and a slap landed on Jiang Longshan’s face as he rebuked, "Do not be disrespectful to the Master!"

Then he looked towards the Jiang Family members, speaking coldly, "Let me tell you, this man is the Master I wholeheartedly acknowledge. If not for the Master’s mercy, your old Patriarch would have been dead long ago! So, all of you had better show some respect. Anyone who dares to offend the Master is going against me!"

Shock was written all over everyone’s faces.

Mu Guangping and Wang Feng stood there dumbstruck, with Wang Feng murmuring, "Chen Fan is actually the Master of the Jiang Family’s Ancestor... did we... did we make a huge blunder?"

The Taiyi Ancestor then looked at Chen Fan, full of guilt, "Master, I really had no idea that the person they asked me to deal with would be you. Once we return, I’ll definitely punish this lot severely. Please don’t be angry because of this."

Chen Fan looked at the Taiyi Ancestor, asking, "Do you know the details of what happened?"

The Taiyi Ancestor shook his head, "These rascals didn’t tell me, they just mentioned that someone had bullied them and wanted me to take up their cause."

Chen Fan said, "Alright then, I’ll recount the incident to you so you won’t think I’m intentionally bullying your Jiang Family members."

Following that, he narrated the matter of the Jiang Family forcing Su Qingyan to marry Jiang Yunlei.

After listening, the Taiyi Ancestor was livid, once again turning to land two more slaps on Jiang Longshan’s face, "You bunch of scum! You even dare to snatch the woman my Master fancies. You really must have the guts of a bear and a leopard!"

Jiang Longshan held his face, full of resentment, then said, "Ancestor, you are a mighty Divine Realm expert, why do you fear a junior like this? And you even recognize him as your Master, this surely damages the face of our Jiang Family. Why would you do this?"

The Taiyi Ancestor huffed, "Why do this? Fine, I’ll tell you. When I dueled with the Master, he used his Supreme Divine Powers to snap my Divine Hammer, forged from millennium black iron, with a single strike. I stood no chance against him. Had the Master not generously spared my life, I would have been reincarnated long ago, and not here to back you up!"

Everyone was astonished.

Incredulous, Jiang Longshan looked at the Taiyi Ancestor, his voice trembling, "You mean to say you’re no match for him? Is this kid’s strength really so formidable?"

The Taiyi Ancestor coldly said, "Do you think I’m joking with you?"

Jiang Longshan swallowed hard, only now realizing just how terrifying Chen Fan truly was.

The members of the Jiang Family were also filled with dread. Their strongest backer, the Taiyi Ancestor, was now prostrating himself, calling someone else Master. Naturally, they no longer had the courage to act haughtily.

The Taiyi Ancestor looked towards Chen Fan, bowing, "Master, the Jiang Family is a clan that I supported with my own hands. Their outrageous behavior has something to do with me. Now I leave the life and death of the Jiang Family in the hands of the Master. You can deal with them however you wish, without regard for my face."

All the members of the Jiang Family changed their expressions, many of them trembling with fear.

But Chen Fan said, "Forget it, for your sake, I won’t hold it against them. Just have them apologize to Qingyan, and that will be enough."

The Taiyi Ancestor hastily bowed to Chen Fan, "Thank you for your mercy, Master!"

Then he looked at Jiang Longshan and the others, barking, "Go apologize now!"

Jiang Longshan and the others let out a sigh of relief, even feeling a bit grateful to Chen Fan. Jiang Longshan took the lead in apologizing to Chen Fan, then went to apologize to Su Qingyan, and finally to all the members of the Mu Family.

The Mu Family members were all dumbfounded, having never dreamt that the high and mighty members of the Jiang Family would bow and scrape in apology to them one day.

Mu Tianxiong looked at Chen Fan with a complex expression, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart. He thought Chen Fan defeating numerous skilled fighters from the Jiang Family singlehandedly was already a miracle, but he hadn’t expected that this young man who came from a small place like Jiang City had quietly grown into a figure he couldn’t even hope to reach.

Su Qingyan’s heart finally settled, and then she lightly grabbed the edge of Chen Fan’s clothing, feeling a sense of pride welling up inside her.

Everyone from the Mu Family looked at Chen Fan with respect. From this moment on, they would never dare belittle or criticize this young man again.

Mu Guangping and Wang Feng were sweating profusely at this time, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Feng nudged Mu Guangping, "What should we do now? It’s all your fault, insisting on disassociating from Qingyan. Now look, Chen Fan turns out to be the Master of the Jiang Family’s Patriarch, and we’ve ended up as outcasts."

Mu Guangping glared at Wang Feng, "Isn’t this all because you were afraid of offending the Jiang Family? You thought once I took over the Mu Family’s assets, you couldn’t enjoy the good life and egg me on, right? But now you’re blaming me!"

Having said that, he smiled broadly as he approached Chen Fan, bowing as he said, "Chen Fan, about before, we..."

Chen Fan cut him off, "Scram!"

Mu Guangping’s face stiffened.

Wang Feng walked over, looking at Chen Fan displeased, and yelled, "How can you speak like that! We are, after all, Qingyan’s uncle and aunt, your elders. Is this how you treat your elders?"

Chen Fan spoke coldly, "Some elders are elders, while others are just brain-dead, that’s all."

"You!" Wang Feng was so angry that her chest heaved, but considering that even the Taiyi Ancestor was polite to him, she didn’t dare to say much.

At that moment, Mu Tianxiong came over, looking coldly at Mu Guangping and Wang Feng, and said in a cold voice, "What makes you think you have the right to claim you’re Qingyan’s elders?"

Mu Guangping’s face was full of embarrassment, and he said with some guilt, "Dad, what we did before was actually for the family’s interests as well..."

Mu Tianxiong chuckled, "Family’s interests? I think it’s for your own interests, right? You must have been thinking about taking over the position of family head from me a long time ago!"

Mu Guangping still wanted to argue.

Mu Tianxiong looked at the Mu Family members and announced loudly, "I hereby declare, effective immediately, Mu Guangping and Wang Feng are expelled from the Mu Family. They will no longer be involved in any of the Mu Family’s affairs. Whatever their future holds, it will have nothing to do with my Mu Family anymore!"

Mu Guangping and Wang Feng were dumbfounded.

Wang Feng hurriedly said, "Old man, you can’t do this, Guangping is the next head of the family. If you expel us from the Mu Family, who will inherit the assets of the Mu Family?"

Mu Tianxiong curled his lip and said, "That’s an internal matter of my Mu Family, none of your business."

Mu Guangping became anxious immediately and turned to those who had supported him before, saying, "You guys have to speak up for me, didn’t you agree to expel Qingyan from the Mu Family before? Why are you all silent now?"

Nobody made a sound. Even fools knew that Mu Tianxiong’s order to expel Mu Guangping and his wife meant serious business. Whoever spoke up for them at this time would be courting disaster.

A member of the Mu Family said, "Mu Guangping, don’t slander us. We never agreed to expel Qingyan from the Mu Family; that was all you and your wife’s idea. If you’re being expelled now, it’s what you deserve!"

Mu Guangping’s face turned extremely pale, and his legs gave out, causing him to sit down on the ground with a thump.

Wang Feng burst into tears, looking at Mu Guangping and shouting, "You useless thing, I was counting on you inheriting the Mu Family’s wealth so I could enjoy a good life. Now that you’ve been expelled from the Mu Family, what use do I have following you?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Guangping, gritting his teeth, stood up from the ground and slapped Wang Feng several times, "Damn it, if it weren’t for your foolish meddling, would we have ended up like this? I’ll kill you!"

Mu Tianxiong looked on with an indifferent face, feeling no remorse about expelling the two from the Mu Family. Mu Guangping had already shown clear intentions of grabbing the position of family head, and keeping them around might bring him future troubles.

You can take what I give you, but before I give it, you can’t take it by force.

This is the bottom line.

"Bring forth some people, and throw these two outsiders out!"

A few people came over and drove Mu Guangping and Wang Feng out.

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, silently applauding Mu Tianxiong’s action in his heart.

Jiang Longshan approached with a respectful face, politely saying, "Chen Fan, I’m truly sorry. We had no idea about your relationship with the old ancestor. Please forgive our previous offense. To show our apology, tonight my Jiang Family will host a feast to treat you and the Mu Family’s friends well. How about that?"

Chen Fan thought that an offer to be treated to dinner was naturally something he couldn’t refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

The people from both the Jiang and Mu Families showed friendly smiles. For a moment, the relationship between the two families seemed incredibly close.

Only Jiang Yunlei, sitting in his wheelchair, was still lost in thought.

He couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.

He had been looking forward to the old ancestor avenging him, to give a good thrashing to the guy who ruined his engagement party.

Yet the old ancestor had groveled before this guy, like a servant.

He couldn’t accept this reality.

Dark air rose from the depths of his eyes, enveloping him with a malevolent aura.

"I can’t accept this! I can’t accept it! The master is still waiting to enjoy Su Qingyan’s body. How can someone the Ghost Witch Sect desires be taken by others!"

As his resentment and malevolence reached their peak, a black column of air shot up into the sky, staining the air in the courtyard with a tinge of evil.
