"Uncle Su, you're too polite. Since the Old Master is in seclusion, Ruoxi won't disturb you any longer. I'll visit the Old Master another day." Liu Ruoxi bowed and left.
"I'll send you off." Su Jingting and the Su Family's relatives didn't dare to be careless.
"Uncle Su, please wait."
Liu Ruoxi smiled and hesitated for a moment. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she opened her mouth and asked Su Jingting, "Uncle Su, do you have any news about Su Yi?"
"Su Yi …"
Su Jingting was surprised, and the Su Family's elders were also puzzled.
"Miss Liu, don't you know that Su Yi met with a mishap on the way to the Holy Mountain?" One of the elders asked.
"Is that so …"
Liu Ruoxi's expression didn't change, but her eyes were shrouded in a dark shadow, adding a touch of unfathomable emotion.
"Uncle Su, please restrain your grief." After a moment of silence, Liu Ruoxi bowed and left.
Su Jingting and the Su Family's relatives sent her off to the gate. The beautiful female deacon from the Holy Mountain was waiting outside and seemed to have met Liu Ruoxi at the gate.
"Uncle Su, please return." Liu Ruoxi bid farewell and left on her mount.
The beautiful middle-aged woman from the Holy Mountain looked at Su Jingting and the others with a displeased expression. Her eyes were indifferent as she left with Liu Ruoxi.
"Patriarch, I'm afraid our Su Family has offended the Holy Mountain."
Watching the Holy Mountain's people leave, a few of the Su Family's relatives looked solemn and worried. The Holy Mountain was a colossus that the Su Family couldn't afford to offend.
"Although the Holy Mountain is big and our Su Family is small, the mountain is high and the water is far away. Our Su Family can't ask the Holy Mountain for anything. Don't mention this matter again in the future. If the Old Master wasn't in seclusion, he would've handled it the same way!"
Su Jingting's expression darkened a little. He was not angry, but he was imposing.
The elders didn't dare to say anything. Although the Old Master wasn't around, he still had some influence. They knew the Old Master's temper.
Although Su Yi had already met with misfortune, and the engagement was as good as useless, the attitude of the Sacred Mountain when they came to the Su Family and threw down the pill was undoubtedly a great humiliation to the Su Family.
If the Su Family was a colossus and the Holy Mountain was just a small Su Family, how could the people from the Holy Mountain dare to have such an attitude?
"It's just that Su Yi is still in the Holy Mountain. Our Su Family has offended the Holy Mountain. I'm afraid Su Wei will not have an easy time in the Holy Mountain. If someone makes things difficult for Su Yi, what should we do?"
Some elders were worried. Right now, Su Wei was the future and hope of the Su Family. If his future was delayed because of this, it would affect the entire Su Family.
"We're just doing what the Su Family should do. Let nature take its course," Su Jingting said. He held the medicine bottle in his hand and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Family Head, you said that Liu Ruoxi is here. What's going on? Could it be that Liu Ruoxi really doesn't know about this?"
Some people of the Su Family were puzzled. It seemed that Liu Ruoxi's attitude was completely different from the attitude of the deacon of the Holy Mountain. Was this intentional or was she really unaware? These elders couldn't understand.
"It's been a few years since we last met. Liu Ruoxi has grown up. As expected of a disciple valued by the Holy Mountain. Liu Zongyuan has a good daughter."
Su Jingting said softly. He had seen many people, so how could he not see that today, Liu Ruoxi was even more different than before. He could feel her every movement and action.
"It's a pity that Su Yi brat is so lucky …"
Su Jingting sighed with regret. Such a young girl, a phoenix that flew out from a small barbarian city. It was a pity that Su Yi's luck wasn't good. Otherwise, with the promise made by the old man and the Liu Family, this could be considered the Su Family's fortune.
"It's a pity that the Golden Lightning Heavenly Origin Pill is almost at the Huang Grade."
"That's a great treasure. If it's consumed, it can immediately increase one's cultivation."
Some relatives of the Su Family were still talking about the Gold Thunder Heaven Primary Elixir that was returned. They had never seen an elixir at the high level of the Star Grade in their lives. Such a precious treasure might be worth several times the value of the Su Family, but it was returned.
Su Jingting didn't say much. The Golden Lightning Heavenly Origin Pill was indeed a great treasure. If it was before, he would most likely be reluctant to part with it.
But at this moment, Su Jingting's heart was much calmer. He wasn't too moved by it. The cultivation resources brought by the experts of the Shenjian Gate were far from what the Golden Lightning Heavenly Origin Pill could compare with.
… … …
"Rumble …"
The Liu Family's mount sped away, raising a cloud of dust.
"Deacon Wang, this is after all a barbarian city. Next time you go to the Su Family, please let me know."
On the mount, Liu Ruoxi said to the beautiful middle-aged woman with a calm expression. But the meaning in her words wasn't expressed in words. There was an invisible sharpness in her words.
"Saintess, this is the Holy Master's idea. Su Yi is dead, and the marriage agreement is not valid. If the Su Family doesn't know how to appreciate favors and doesn't want to let go of this matter, then …"
The beautiful middle-aged woman said with a trace of coldness in her eyes.
"I've said it before. Next time you go to the Su Family, please let me know. I don't want to repeat myself. As for the Holy Master, I'll explain it to him when the time comes!"

Liu Ruoxi's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman with an inexplicable sense of majesty.
"Yes, Saintess!"
The beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes changed a little. She seemed to be afraid of something and nodded.
… … …
Outside the barbarian city, there were continuous mountains. Huge mountains rose one after another, and forests were connected. Ancient trees towered into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. Vines were entwined around the mountains, and the trees were long and strong like horned dragons.
"Awoo … …"
Another day, when night fell, the roars of beasts could be heard outside the barbarian city. The whole barbarian city was shaking, and it was frightening.
"Did something really happen?"
On the city tower, the experts of the five great families gathered, and all of them had a serious expression.
"Many barbaric beasts are getting closer and closer!"
The head of the Mo Family, Mo Lai, frowned and squinted his eyes. His slightly plump body was covered in a tight robe. He looked like he was in his forties, but it didn't match his age.
"If the army of barbaric beasts attacks the barbarian city, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The head of the He Family, He Yikuan, said. He had a broad head and a big face. He looked into the distance with a serious expression.
"If the army of barbaric beasts attacks the barbarian city, the consequences will be more serious than when the Undying Sect attacked the barbarian city."
The head of the Song Family, Song Ming, said. He still remembered the bloody scene when the Undying Sect attacked the barbarian city. He almost lost his life in that bloody battle.
