As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jingting gently pushed the jade box in front of the middle-aged woman.
"This …"
Seeing Su Jingting push such a precious treasure back, the Su clan relatives' faces darkened. They felt their hearts ache. Such a precious treasure was not something the Su clan could afford even if they sold their entire fortune.
Seeing Su Jingting's action, the Sacred Mountain's people's faces darkened. This was something no one had expected.
"Patriarch Su, what do you mean? Are you looking down on our Sacred Mountain?" The middle-aged woman's face darkened as she looked at Su Jingting indifferently.
"I wouldn't dare. It's just that the Sacred Mountain is so generous, Jingting dares not accept it!" Su Jingting raised his eyes and said to the middle-aged woman. His expression was neither servile nor overbearing.
"I advise Patriarch Su to consider it carefully. Our Sacred Mountain is only informing the Su clan about this matter. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
The middle-aged woman's face darkened completely. A small Su clan actually did not know how to appreciate kindness. She said in a deep voice, "Even if Patriarch Su doesn't consider the Su clan, don't forget that your son is now a disciple of the Sacred Mountain. Speaking of which, the Su clan and our Sacred Mountain are not outsiders!"
The middle-aged woman's indifferent tone made the air in the hall freeze for no reason. It was as if there was a chill quietly spreading in the air.
The expressions of the Su Family's clan relatives darkened. They could all sense that the deacon from the Sacred Mountain was clearly enraged. Offending a deacon from the Sacred Mountain was definitely not a good thing for the Su Family.
Su Jingting's eyes flickered. He quietly clenched his fists, then relaxed them. He secretly took a deep breath, got up and cupped his fists. He continued to speak to the middle-aged woman, "Thank you for taking care of my son in the Sacred Mountain. But I really can't make the decision now, so I naturally dare not accept such a valuable gift."
"Hmph!"
Hearing Su Jingting's words, the beautiful middle-aged woman's face became completely gloomy. She snorted coldly and stood up. Her gloomy face was not expressed in words. Without any reservation, she said in a deep voice, "Master Su, let's end this matter here. This matter is just to inform the Su Family that the engagement between the Su Family and the Liu Family has been canceled. That's it, let's go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman waved her hand and stood up to leave.
The few young disciples also looked indifferent. Their gazes swept across the Su Family members in the hall, and with a faint coldness, they directly left.
"Sir Deacon, please wait," Su Jingting said.
"Patriarch Su, do you have anything else to say?" The middle-aged woman stopped and turned around to look at Su Jingting. Her eyes flickered slightly as she thought that Su Jingting had an idea.
"Deacon, please take this pill back. The Su Clan is ashamed to accept it!"
Su Jingting stepped forward and handed the jade box to the beautiful middle-aged woman.
"Su Family, good, very good!"
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the pill from Su Jingting's hand and walked away with a cold smile on her face.
"See him off, Deacon." Su Jingting's expression turned serious as he instructed the servants to see the guests out.
"Sir Deacon, please don't be angry."
The faces of several Su Clan elders changed greatly. They looked uneasy and immediately stood up to send him off.
"Patriarch, now that we've offended the Sacred Mountain, I'm afraid that in the future …"
There were still a few Su Clan elders who did not leave. Their faces were solemn. They were worried that they had offended someone from the Holy Mountain, not to mention that Su Wei was still in the Holy Mountain.
"The marriage agreement between the Old Patriarch and the Liu Clan should be canceled by the Old Patriarch and the Liu Clan," Su Jingting said.
"But Su Yi is dead. This marriage agreement has no meaning. There is really no need to offend the Holy Mountain for this."
An elder of the Su Clan spoke. Su Yi was dead, so the marriage agreement itself had no meaning. Su Wei was still in the Holy Mountain, and they were afraid that he would be greatly affected in the future.
"Su Yi is dead. That is what the Holy Mountain said. Dead without a corpse. What if Su Yi is not dead?"
Su Jingting said, waving his sleeves, and said to the crowd, "There is no need to mention this in the future. Let it be."
"Sigh …"
Hearing this, several elders of the Su Clan sighed. Offending the Holy Mountain for the dead Su Yi was definitely not a wise decision.
"Patriarch, Patriarch …"
A servant of the Su Clan hurried over, looking quite surprised and anxious.
"What's the matter?" Su Jingting asked with a slightly gloomy face.
"Miss Liu Ruoxi of the Liu Clan is here. She said she wants to see the Old Patriarch."
The servant of the Su Clan spoke, his heart still trembling. Such a woman was like a celestial being, and he did not dare to look straight at her.
"Liu Ruoxi …"
Hearing this, Su Jingting's face was suddenly surprised and puzzled.
…
A moment later, in the hall of the Su Clan.
Liu Ruoxi walked in with light steps, bowed, and said to Su Jingting, "Ruoxi greets Uncle Su."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Are you trying to make me look bad?"
Su Jingting was shocked. Looking at such a woman in front of him, she was like a celestial being, like a banished immortal. She was a disciple of the Holy Mountain, and it was said that she was also highly valued by the Holy Mountain.
"Uncle Su is too polite. I haven't seen Uncle Su for many years. Uncle Su is still as elegant as ever." Liu Ruoxi stood up with a charming smile.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and you've grown up. I'm ashamed."
Su Jingting said as he looked at the girl in front of him. It had been several years since they last met, and the little girl had already grown into such a beautiful girl. The invisible aura emanating from her made him feel apprehensive. Compared to the deacon of the Sacred Mountain he had just faced, the pressure was much greater.

"I didn't know that I met the people from the Holy Mountain just now. I apologize if I have caused any inconvenience and impact to Uncle Su and the Su Clan. I hope Uncle Su and the elders can forgive me." Liu Ruoxi bowed. She saw the people from the Holy Mountain leave at the gate just now, and judging from their expressions, it seemed that the meeting was not very pleasant.
The people from the Holy Mountain secretly came to the Su Clan. Liu Ruoxi did not need to think too much to know what had happened.
"I don't deserve this. Please get up." Su Jingting's expression darkened, and he immediately helped Liu Ruoxi up.
"Miss Liu, you're too polite."
A few elders of the Su Clan also immediately apologized. Liu Ruoxi's identity was different from before. She was the most valued disciple of the Holy Mountain. How could the small Su Clan compare to her?
"I heard that the Old Master is injured, so my father specially sent me to come and greet him. I still remember when we were young, the Old Master's demeanor was outstanding. This is a small token of my sincerity. I hope Uncle Su can decline it. Otherwise, I can't go back and answer to my father."
As Liu Ruoxi's voice faded, she handed a bottle of medicine to Su Jingting with a sincere expression.
"This …"
