Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Qin Family’s Choice

In Pingnan Province, among the ten greatest experts, there had been confrontations, and Nan Wudi suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Wang Wanli—a humiliation that Nan Wudi considered the greatest shame of his life.

This time, Wang Yuguang bringing it up again was essentially rubbing salt into his wounds in public.

Nan Wudi’s face turned beet red with his teeth clenched tightly as he spoke, "Wang Wanli is stronger than me, and I, Nan, am willing to accept defeat. However, today we are here to elect the members of the Ten Great Families, not to select the ten greatest experts. What is the point of bringing this up?"

"Heh heh, I just happen to like talking about this very much. Why, is that not allowed?" Wang Yuguang sneered, "Nan Wudi, oh Nan Wudi, I heard that you were beaten by that kid named Su Yang, which is why you obediently went to support the Hou Family."

"Tsk tsk, I really didn’t expect it, after all these years, your cowardly nature hasn’t changed at all. To save your own life, you actually went to be a lapdog for some jumping clowns? However, what I really don’t understand is, you’re afraid of what’s-his-name, Su Yang, but are you not afraid of my brother?"

The crowd couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and the faces of the Nan Family members were filled with extreme anger. When Wang Yuguang ridiculed Nan Wudi, it was as if he was trampling on the Nan Family’s face.

"Wang Yuguang, you’re going too far!" Nan Wudi shouted in anger.

"Oh? You’re not convinced?" Wang Yuguang sneered, "My brother is right downstairs enjoying the view. Why not let him come up and chat with you?"

Nan Wudi immediately fell silent. Wang Wanli was the true Sovereign. Nan Wudi was no match for Wang Wanli at all!

"What’s the matter, lost for words?" Wang Yuguang sneered, "Nan Wudi, your worthless character really hasn’t changed at all!"

Nan Wudi gritted his teeth, ready to burst into anger. At this moment, Su Yang finally spoke up, setting down the teacup in his hand and saying softly, "I’m a bit confused, tonight are we deciding things based on martial strength or on support rates? If it’s by martial strength, why don’t you let your brother come up and I’ll spar with him for a couple of rounds?"

Wang Yuguang’s expression changed abruptly, and he shouted angrily, "Kid, you’re courting death! What are you that you dare challenge my brother? I’ll have you know, anyone from my Wang Family could crush you to death!"

"Is that so?" Su Yang smiled faintly, "Then why don’t you try to crush me to death yourself?"

Wang Yuguang was at a loss for words; he was not weak, but he was far inferior to Nan Wudi. Although he didn’t believe that Su Yang had defeated Nan Wudi, the thought of fighting Su Yang still didn’t quite sit right with him.

"Why the pointless chatter?" Xie Hongyun said coldly, "Tonight we’re deciding things based on the support rate, so let’s first settle on the candidates for the Ten Great Families. As for the matter of fighting, Su, if you really want to die, my Xie Family will come for you after this is concluded!"

"I’ll take note of that!" Su Yang picked up his teacup again and said with a faint smile, "If we’re speaking based on the support rate, then you all can stop talking nonsense. Of the eight major families, only four are currently supporting the Zhao Family. This matter is far from over!"

"What difference does it make?" Wang Yuguang sneered, "The Qin Family will definitely support the Zhao Family, as will the Shangguan Family. The Ye Family has the best relationship with the Shangguan Family, so they will surely support the Zhao Family too. Heh heh, do we even need to discuss tonight’s outcome? Nan Wudi, you’re the only one standing behind the Hou Family. Don’t you feel lonely?"

Nan Wudi bit his lip and said nothing, the current situation was indeed not looking good for the Hou Family.

"Why don’t we just end this early?" Fang Jianhong sneered, "The outcome is already very clear; there’s no need to waste everyone’s time. As we’ve all come to Nanluo City, it’s only right that we show a bit of hospitality, isn’t it?"

Everyone started to laugh, and Wang Yuguang glanced sidelong at Hou Xiangde, "How about it, Elder Hou? What do you think?"

Hou Xiangde remained silent, while Su Yang stayed calm and spoke leisurely, "My opinion is that you all should sit down and behave. Tonight, not only will the Hou Family become one of the Ten Great Families, but some families will also be removed from the Ten Great Families!"

"You’ve got some nerve!" Wang Yuguang shouted angrily.

"Kid, are you looking for death?" Xie Hongyun also said with a deep voice.

"Do you really think we dare not take action and kill you right here?"

"To us, killing you would be no different than squashing an ant, and yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly?"

The noise and taunts continued nonstop, and Lin Qingru scoffed, "On the brink of death and still spouting such grandiose nonsense, you’ve truly not changed your despicable ways!"

Su Yang set down his teacup again and stood up, saying coldly, "I’ll say it once more, if you all want to settle this by force, then let’s start fighting now. If not, then sit down quietly and wait for the support rates to come out!"

The crowd was furious and about to start cursing when a group of people entered through the door. It was the people of the Qin Family.

Everyone looked over immediately. Wang Yuguang was the first to smile, "Refusing to give in until the bitter end? Good, now you can give up. Old Qin is here, and this matter can be concluded. Five out of the eight families are supporting the Zhao Family, do we even need to talk about it?"

Liao Yuxuan was even more excited, waving his hands, "Grandpa, grandpa, we’re over here!"

Qin Haishan, seeing Liao Yuxuan, noticeably changed his expression. He stood still, glanced at Liao Yuxuan, then at Su Yang, clearly hesitating.

Liao Yuxuan couldn’t help but be stunned. Wasn’t the choice obvious? His own grandfather was actually not coming to support him?

"Grandpa, come over here, this way!" Liao Yuxuan called out urgently.

"Old Qin, what’s there to think about? Let’s finish this early so we can have supper!" Wang Yuguang smiled.

Qin Haishan took a deep breath, then abruptly gritted his teeth and strode over to Su Yang.

"Master Su, sorry for our late arrival!" Qin Haishan bowed slightly, leading his people to sit down on the side of the Hou Family.

Everyone was stunned. What was happening? Liao Yuxuan’s grandfather was not supporting Liao Yuxuan? Were they seeing ghosts?

"Grandpa!" Liao Yuxuan became anxious, "What... what are you doing? I am over here, here is my uncle, you... what are you doing over there?"

Qin Haishan waved his hand, "Yuxuan, tonight’s matter is very important. Let’s settle the issue of the Ten Great Families first. We can talk after we are done here!"

"Then why talk about it?" Liao Yuxuan was frantically agitated, "How can you support them? You... don’t you know I have a grudge against them? Grandpa, how can you do this?"

Qin Haishan’s body was trembling slightly, and he ended up turning his head away, ignoring Liao Yuxuan.

Although he cherished his newly found daughter and his grandson and would use anything to compensate for their past, he could not risk the entire Qin Family. Offending Su Yang meant the Qin Family might not even have the chance to exist any longer!

Liao Yuxuan was dumbfounded, as were all the others. How could the almost certain vote suddenly switch to the Hou Family at this moment?
