Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Hou Shilin’s Attitude

Li Chengze looked at Su Yang arrogantly and loudly said, "Mr. Su, you have nothing left to say now, do you!"

"Of course he has nothing to say!" Li Weixian slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Su Yang, "Boy, you have the gall to target the Hou Family. Today, if you don’t explain yourself clearly, I won’t let you leave the Hou Family Courtyard alive!"

"There’s nothing more to say to him; just grab him and we’ll talk later!" Hou Xiaozhi suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "Take this brat down first, and don’t disturb the guests outside!"

People who had been waiting outside rushed in immediately upon hearing this, aggressively approaching Su Yang.

Su Yang sat there with a faint smile, completely ignoring these people.

Hou Xiangde and Hou Xiaolian exchanged glances, both of their faces filled with difficulty. Although they had begun to doubt Su Yang, they also remembered the scene where Su Yang had spat out a bolt of lightning, truly fearing that Su Yang would start a massacre here.

Just then, an angry voice came from the doorway, "Stop!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Hou Shilin striding in.

Behind him, Hou Shijun looked furious as he followed, stretching his hand to pull Hou Shilin while angrily saying, "Shilin, what are you doing? This is a meeting of the family elders, how can you barge in like this?"

"Li Chengze is also a junior, so why can he be here? Big brother, you’re really too biased as a gatekeeper here!" Hou Shilin said angrily.

"Shilin, how can you talk to me like this!" Hou Shijun was getting anxious.

"I don’t want to waste words with you!" Hou Shilin shook off Hou Shijun’s hand and walked straight to Su Yang, shouting, "Whoever wants to touch him will have to get through me first!"

The frowns on the faces of everyone inside the room deepened, as all present were individuals of status. To them, Hou Shilin’s actions resembled a child’s tantrum.

"Shilin, you step outside!" Hou Xiaolian said sternly.

"I won’t go out!" Hou Shilin shouted, "Brother Su saved my dad, my grandfather, and our Hou Family. What does this mean now? Instead of thanking Brother Su, you suspect him? The person brought back by my second uncle almost killed my grandfather, and now he can wave his hand and give orders around here, what kind of justice is this?"

Li Chengze immediately retorted coldly, "Hou Shilin, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what we just said? It’s this Mr. Su who colluded with Master Fang, scheming to trap your Hou Family. My uncle has exposed his plot; he is saving the Hou Family. Humph, you seem quite anxious; could it be that you’re in cahoots with him?"

Hou Shilin’s expression suddenly changed; Li Chengze was not only trying to frame Su Yang but also dragging him down with him.

"Shilin, we are always part of the Hou Family, any issues are our own. But you colluding with outsiders is where you are wrong!" Hou Xiaozhi said coldly.

"As the saying goes, the hardest to guard against is the thief within the family, Elder Hou, now you understand the meaning of this saying, don’t you!" Li Weixian said with a cold laugh.

Everyone’s gaze converged on Hou Xiangde, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Hou Xiangde bit his lip and said in a low voice, "Master Su is capable of spitting bolts of lightning, and that part is certainly no lie!"

Su Yang gave a slight smile; Hou Xiangde’s words sounded like he was speaking on his behalf. In fact, it meant to tell everyone that Su Yang had some abilities, and they should not press him any further. In other words, even Hou Xiangde had begun to doubt Su Yang.

"Spitting bolts of heaven may be impressive, but it’s nothing more than a blind trick!" Master Chen suddenly spoke up, taking a step forward and declaring loudly, "How does that compare to what I can do?"

With those words, Master Chen extended his hands and quickly formed several spell gestures in the air. He then shouted, and instantly, a fireball appeared in his hands. The blazing flames were so intense that everyone around could feel the heat.

"My God, this... how is this possible?"

"This is something only Immortals can do!"

"Master Chen truly is extraordinary, far from the ordinary!"

The crowd exclaimed incessantly, even Hou Xiangde and Hou Xiaolian widened their eyes. The trick Master Chen had shown gave them hope.

With a casual wave of his hand, Master Chen dispelled the fireball. He looked at Su Yang with a smug expression and said, "If Master Su truly possesses the ability to spit bolts of heaven, then you should be able to do this with ease, right? Why don’t you give us a performance?"

Su Yang smiled faintly and shook his head, "I can’t do it."

Master Chen hadn’t expected Su Yang to admit it so candidly and couldn’t help but laugh, "What, are you giving up completely?"

"Brother Su..." Hou Shilin was also anxious; he had great confidence in Su Yang. But Su Yang’s reaction confused him.

However, Hou Xiangde’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Master Chen truly possesses genuine skill, admirable indeed!"

Master Chen said with pride, "Hmph, that was but a minor skill. However, compared to those charlatans who rely on tricks to deceive, it is indeed a thousand times more powerful!"

Hou Xiangde glanced at Su Yang and said coldly, "Su Yang, you have saved my life for which I am thankful. However, I cannot tolerate what you have done. From this day on, I do not wish to see you in Nanluo City again."

After a pause, Hou Xiangde turned to Hou Shilin and coldly said, "Shilin, from today onwards, you are to relinquish all your family affairs and leave Nanluo City. You are not permitted to return within ten years!"

"What?" Hou Shilin’s eyes widened, as this was essentially the same as being expelled from the Hou Family.

"Elder Hou, you are being far too lenient!" Li Weixian sneered. "If it were me, I would never let a deceiver like him leave alive. Elder Hou, don’t forget, this brat nearly cost you your life!"

Li Chengze also sneered, "Grandfather Marquis, my uncle made such significant contributions to the Hou Family, yet you expelled him that way. Now Hou Shilin has colluded with the Su gentleman, committing even graver offenses, yet you deal with him so lightly. Isn’t that too unfair?"

By the doorway, Hou Shijun also spoke indignantly, "Shilin, I told you long ago not to associate with these shady characters, but you refused to listen to me. Look at this mess now—what were you trying to do? Was it really worth it for all those family assets?"

The crowd around looked at Hou Shilin with anger, as he hung his head low, completely at a loss for words.

"Everyone, let’s not let such a person spoil our mood," Hou Xiaozhi said with a smile. "Come, please escort them out!"

The people who had just come in immediately rushed over, surrounding both Su Yang and Hou Shilin, intending to expel them both.

It was then that Su Yang, who had remained silent until now, finally stood up. With a light laugh, he said, "Hou Shilin, from today onward, you are my friend, Su Yang. I’ve said before, if you’re my friend, then from now on, the Hou Family must honor you above all else!"
