Chapter 24: Ignorance and Arrogance of Youth

With just one glance, Su Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Yuan Token?"

The so-called Yuan Token was crafted by cultivators who had stepped into the Yuan Path. It was infused with elemental energy and possessed unimaginable power.

In the Great Zhou Empire, those who had entered the Yuan Path were regarded as immortals on land.

To have such a treasure crafted by such individuals was absolutely invaluable and virtually impossible to obtain!

"Yes, this token is called 'Starblade.' It was bestowed upon you by your father on the day you entered the Wen family. If you crush this item, a single strike can annihilate a Martial Grandmaster!" Lady Wen carefully put away the jade token, straightened her back, and a proud expression appeared on her face. "And this treasure is the greatest reliance of our Wen family."

Su Yi shook his head inwardly. Was a single Yuan Token worthy of such pride?

"Why did Lady Wen tell me all this?" he asked.

"Third Young Master, since you entered the Wen family, besides facing some sarcasm and cold looks, has anyone really dared to bully you?" Lady Wen asked.

Su Yi shook his head. "No, not really."

Lady Wen's expression turned stern, her words carrying a hint of threat. "Well then, listen carefully, Third Young Master. Regardless of whether you bear any grudges against the Wen family, if you dare to do anything detrimental to the family, I won't spare you!"

Su Yi finally understood that Lady Wen had merely used the Yuan Token earlier to intimidate him.

He smiled, didn't linger any longer, and turned to leave.

"Why does this kid seem to have changed so much..."

Only after Su Yi's figure disappeared from the view outside the Huaming Hall did Lady Wen withdraw her gaze. However, her brows furrowed slightly, her expression fluctuating.

"Should I write a letter to inform the Su family about today's events?"

After a long silence, she let out a long sigh and made a decision. "Forget it, the affairs of the Su family are no longer something an outsider like me can meddle in. As long as this kid doesn't do anything that betrays the Wen family, I can simply turn a blind eye!"

...

The birthday banquet was still in full swing, with a lively and boisterous atmosphere.

When Su Yi returned, he saw the young generation of the Wen family, including Wen Shaobei and Wen Lingxue, surrounding a certain person like stars surrounding the moon.

The person being surrounded is Wen Jueyuan. the son of Wen Changjing, the clan leader of the Wen family. He was a remarkable talent with a complete Transfusion Realm cultivation, and he was the leading figure among the younger generation of the Wen family.

However, compared to Li Moyun from the Li family, his fame was slightly inferior.

"Su Ge, you're back," Huang Qianjun, who was sitting alone at a table, quickly stood up and greeted Su Yi with an enthusiastic smile.

Su Yi nodded and asked, "The birthday banquet is already halfway through. Why haven't you left?"

Huang Qianjun awkwardly replied, "If Su Ge doesn't leave, how can I leave? In any case, I have to stay until the end!"

Su Yi sighed inwardly. How could he not see through the intentions of Huang Qianjun and his father, Huang Yunchong?

Their motive was nothing more than trying to turn a disaster into an opportunity, repairing their relationship with him after yesterday's incident, and preferably getting closer to him!

"Su Yi, Wen Shaobei has something to say to you. Come with me," Wen Shaobei suddenly approached, his eyes filled with arrogance, and his words were harsh.

Su Yi glanced at the direction Wen Shaobei pointed to and saw Wen Jueyuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, looking at him with a hint of aloofness in his expression.

Su Yi turned his gaze back to Wen Shaobei in front of him and said calmly, "Go and tell him that if he wants to talk, he can come himself."

When Su Yi arrived at the birthday banquet, Wen Shaobei had already shown contempt in his words, rebuking Su Yi for not being qualified to attend as a son-in-law.

Later on, Wen Shaobei took the opportunity to insult Wen Changtai, causing Wen Lingxue to become angry.

Now, he was acting as a lackey for Wen Jueyuan!

Su Yi naturally wouldn't be polite and treated Wen Shaobei as nothing more than a messenger.

"What... What did you say?" Wen Shaobei was stunned. How could a son-in-law dare to act so arrogantly in front of him?

Huang Qianjun quickly stepped forward, his eyes fierce and menacing. He said, "Are you blind or deaf? Can't you understand human speech?"

Wen Shaobei's body stiffened, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

In Guangling City, Huang Qianjun was a well-known wastrel, arrogant, ruthless, and brutal. There were few among the younger generation who were not afraid of him.

Wen Shaobei was no exception.

He struggled to swallow his saliva and whispered, "Huang Shao, this matter has nothing to do with you..."

Huang Qianjun interrupted with a disdainful snort, "If it weren't for today being your family's matriarch's birthday banquet, do you believe I would have crippled you right here?"

Wen Shaobei's face turned pale, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he completely wilted.

Huang Qianjun scornfully said, "Look at you, so pathetic. If you still want to survive in Guangling City, then hurry up and deliver the message!"

Wen Shaobei felt as if he had been granted a reprieve and quickly fled.

Witnessing these scenes, Su Yi couldn't help but inwardly sneer. Indeed, one wicked person needs another wicked person to straighten them out. The younger generation of the Wen family is hardly useful.

"Su ge, please don't blame me for meddling. I just couldn't stand seeing a minor character from the collateral branch of the Wen family showing disrespect towards you. It's truly sickening!" Huang Qianjun said, immediately becoming extremely obedient and fawning when facing Su Yi, with a sycophantic expression in his eyes.
