You’re not worthy!
36: Chapter 036: Grandfather?
You’re not worthy!
However, Chou Ye was furious again and roared, “What have I gotten wrong?
I’ve brought back the heads of all two hundred mbers of the Fierce Beast Bandits, including the leader Fierce Beast himself, and Sikong Jing’s rits are indispensable.”
Damn it, if these people keep causing trouble, my great accomplishnt will be called into question.
With their heads all accounted for, there was surely no mistake.
At that mont, Sikong Jing also stepped forward with Su Yuexi, speaking with an indifferent smile, “Su Xuefeng, it must be disappointing for you, but shouldn’t one of the charges you’ve wrongly imposed upon be removed now?”
Su Xuefeng and Su Zhengtao gaped, their faces looking as unsightly as if they had eaten shit.
Yet at this ti, Su Yun couldn’t help but shout, “Even if you didn’t forcefully break out of the city, you’ve still committed a grave cri.”
“Chief Han, he also robbed the Hengyu Pawnshop.”
Upon hearing Su Yun’s words, Su Yuexi’s previously relieved heart suddenly tightened, her palms sweating.
anwhile, the Shopkeeper of Hengyu Pawnshop stood up with his chest puffed out, speaking boldly, “That’s right, this criminal robbed of a hundred Gold Crystal Coins and a Jade hairpin, he must be beheaded!”
The Hengyu Manager was extrely displeased not to see Sikong Jing punished.
A hundred Gold Crystal Coins?
Chou Ye thought his job was done and didn’t want to deal with Sikong Jing’s other cris, but the ntion of the hundred Gold Crystal Coins struck a nerve, as they were given to him by Luo Ning.
No one noticed Chou Ye while Chief Han found an opportunity to shout again, “Criminal, you have a criminal record and committed robbery, what should your punishnt be?”
Slap!
Suddenly, Chief Han felt a severe pain on his face again as he was struck and fell to the ground.
Looking up, he saw it was Chou Ye again.
He bellowed furiously, “Chou Ye, have you beco addicted to hitting ?
Do you believe I will start a war with you?”
Chou Ye scoffed without a care, then turned to Sikong Jing and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, the Jade hairpin originally belonged to Lady Luo, right?”
On hearing this, Sikong Jing was sowhat surprised.
But he soon understood, certain that Luo Ning must have said sothing to Chou Ye, and nodded in response, “Correct, with General Chou’s help, I successfully purchased the Jade hairpin that belonged to my wife.”
“As for the hundred Gold Crystal Coins from Hengyu Pawnshop, I did take them, but that was because he breached the contract first…”
He explained offhandedly while Chou Ye listened, feeling quite satisfied.
Of course, purchasing the Jade hairpin had nothing to do with him, but Sikong Jing readily said it was with his help.
This kid, he knows how to play along!
With that in mind, Chou Ye turned to the Hengyu Shopkeeper and barked, “The Shopkeeper of Hengyu Pawnshop, correct?
I personally witnessed Sikong Jing buying back the Jade hairpin from Lady Luo; do you dare to claim he robbed it from your pawnshop?”
Instantly, the Hengyu Shopkeeper panicked, as Chou Ye himself had witnessed the transaction.
“Will you tell the truth?” Chou Ye motioned to the soldiers, moving towards the Shopkeeper.
Thud…
The Hengyu Shopkeeper imdiately knelt down, pleading with a tearful face, “General Chou, please have rcy, I was instigated by Patriarch Su.”
What the hell, Su Xuefeng, Su Zhengtao, and the others almost cursed out loud.
Chief Han’s face looked even more unsightly; the Hengyu Shopkeeper, he was actually fabricating stories.
And to think that the business with the Jade hairpin just happened to cross paths with Chou Ye.
Chou Ye’s face darkened as he pointed to Chief Han and continued, “Is it Sikong Jing who should be punished, or isn’t it this Shopkeeper here?”
Twisting the corner of his mouth, Chief Han was at a loss for words…
The Hengyu Shopkeeper breached the contract first and now even compounded his cri with false testimony; his punishnt deserved to be increased!
“Su Xuefeng, can the charges against be further reduced by a second count now?” Sikong Jing’s voice resounded tily.
As he spoke, he turned to i Xiaofang, “Mother-in-law, with General Chou’s word, you should also believe that I am not a great river thief, right?”
i Xiaofang’s expression froze, unsure whether to feel joy or what else?
And Su Yuexi finally revealed a smile for the first ti, looking sowhat triumphantly at i Xiaofang as if to say, “Do you see?
Sikong Jing is a good person, I haven’t misplaced my trust.”
At that mont, Chou Ye turned to Su Xuefeng again and said, “Patriarch Su, although your family has family rules, it is also wrong to incite others.”
Su Xuefeng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, his teeth nearly drawing blood, but he could only keep on nodding in agreent.
Even the Hengyu Manager had admitted guilt; how could he dare to say otherwise!
“Sikong Jing, the twenty Gold Crystal Coins are just a personal reward from , and after the heads of the Fierce Beast bandits have been submitted, there might be additional rewards.
I shall take my leave now.”
After he had finished speaking, Chou Ye led his n and left the Su Family grounds.
Chief Han glared hatefully at Sikong Jing, the criminal who had caused him to be beaten by Chou Ye ti and again.
But there was nothing he could do; he could only take the Hengyu Manager away as well.
In Su Yuexi’s courtyard, only mbers of the Su Family remained.
Suddenly, Su Zhengtao roared, “Sikong Jing should still be put to death for maiming a house servant.”
Now that the two previous charges had been dropped, this was the only accusation Su Zhengtao had left to use.
“Is that so?”
It was Su Zhenglong who replied to Su Zhengtao with a cold voice, at the sa ti releasing his True Qi from the Human Realm that soared to the heavens.
If before he was moved to act because he couldn’t bear his daughter Su Yuexi’s pleas, now Su Zhenglong was wholeheartedly willing.
The fact proved that Sikong Jing was completely trustworthy, and his daughter was worth entrusting to him.
“Su Zhenglong, do you really want to fight to the death with ?” Su Xuefeng shouted angrily, blocking in front of Su Zhengtao.
As before, in the Su Family, the only person who could take on Su Zhenglong in a fight to the death was him alone.
As his words fell, Su Xuefeng’s presence also reached the Human Realm, pressing towards Su Zhenglong.
The aura of the father and son clashed wildly in the courtyard.
Suddenly, Su Zhenglong was the first to speak, “Father, your birthday feast is coming; let’s not make too big of a fuss.
Otherwise, if you don’t even have a single son by that ti, your birthday feast wouldn’t be very enjoyable, right?”
Su Xuefeng had two sons, Su Zhenglong and Su Zhengtao.
The aning of these words was clear; if pushed further, Su Zhenglong would die, but so would Su Zhengtao.
“Sure, sure, you are indeed my good son.”
“On the day of my birthday feast, I hope you can bring satisfying gifts.”
Finally, Su Xuefeng compromised, choosing not to continue the hard fight, taking a deep breath and turning to Sikong Jing, “No matter what, you are still my grandson-in-law, you should be calling ‘Grandfather’.”
These words carried an extrely cold intonation; Su Xuefeng was dissatisfied with Sikong Jing addressing him by na.
And even less satisfied with his calm and self-possessed deanor.
Sikong Jing raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
He would naturally respect the Su Zhenglong couple as elders, but Su Xuefeng was far from deserving such treatnt.
Seeing this, Su Yun imdiately chided, “Aren’t you going to call him ‘Grandfather’?”
Sikong Jing laughed and spoke lazily, “You, are not worthy!”
Those three words made a surge of murderous intent flare in Su Xuefeng’s eyes.
But Sikong Jing took another firm step forward, oblivious to the other’s murderous intent, and said coldly, “He who insults others will always be insulted.
The household servant of today might just be a lesson for the likes of you.”
“Wanting a ‘Grandfather’ is simple; show how you care for your descendants, and I might let bygones be bygones.”
“Otherwise, as long as I, Sikong Jing, am here, those who dare to bully my family will be shown no rcy.”
