Xiao Huang witnessed the confrontation between Su Xin and his uncle, Dugu Yan. He had to say that Dugu Yan was suppressed by Su Xin's aura right from the start. They were not on the same level at all.
His poor uncle was in a passive position when facing Su Xin and could only be led by the nose by Su Xin.
Most importantly, Su Xin left a small trap for Dugu Yan in the end.
Su Xin did not say what he wanted. He only said that as long as Dugu Yan took out something that satisfied Su Xin, he would let him go.
This way, Dugu Yan was not confident and he would subconsciously take out his bottom line. After all, there was only one chance.
Under the premise that Su Xin had the initiative, Dugu Yan did not notice this little trick at all. Of course, Xiao Huang, an outsider, could not be bothered to remind him.
Actually, it did not matter. Dugu Yan could only agree to Su Xin's request. If it was Xiao Huang, he would do the same.
No matter if it was from his own point of view or the entire Dugu Clan's point of view, the best solution was to get rid of the scourge, Su Xin, first. Otherwise, with him around, the Dugu Clan would definitely not be at peace.
Dugu Yan left with his people with a face full of anger. Xiao Huang did not care so much. Anyway, he was only here as a guest. He did not intend to get involved in the grudge between the Dugu Clan and Su Xin, nor did he want to get involved.
To be honest, ever since the previous incident, Xiao Huang had completely given up on the idea of going against Su Xin because it was meaningless.
In terms of ability, Su Xin had already completely surpassed him. Even He Xiu did not have the courage to draw his sword in front of Su Xin. What right did he have to compete with Su Xin?
And from the Xiao Clan's point of view, there was even less meaning for him to compete with Su Xin.
If he wanted to become the Xiao Clan's master, then he had to consider everything from the perspective of the entire clan.
It was true that the Xiao Family had some friction with Su Xin, but those so-called friction were nothing in the face of real interests.
This kind of small friction was common among the sects in the Jianghu. It was not a big deal at all. When it was time to join forces, they would join forces. As long as they did not shed all pretense of cordiality, everything was fine.
After returning to Six Fan School, Su Xin waited patiently for Dugu Yan to admit defeat.
To be honest, Su Xin really did not expect to get anything good out of Dugu Yan. He did this purely to give Dugu Clan a warning.
The Northern Plains Path was now considered one of Su Xin's foundations. Although there weren't many people on Wutong Mountain, it was still Su Xin's territory. He couldn't tolerate people coming to his territory to cause trouble every few days.
There was only one reason for him to retaliate against the Dugu clan, and that was to let others see that regardless of the outcome, as long as someone dared to attack him, they would have to pay the price, even if he didn't actually suffer any losses.
When Dugu Yan returned to the Dugu clan, Xiao Chao was still waiting for him in the living room.
Xiao Huang did not want to get involved in the Dugu clan's matters, so he directly said goodbye to Xiao Chao and Dugu Yan and returned to the Xiao Family.
Xiao Chao looked at Dugu Yan and said indifferently, "How was it? Did you suffer a setback? "
Dugu Yan was not angry this time. This was not because his temper suddenly became better, but because he was used to it.
Moreover, Dugu Yan had to admit that Xiao Chao was indeed stronger than him in some aspects.
This time, Xiao Huang's arrival also clearly told Dugu Yan that if he wanted to stabilize his position as the Family Head, he really couldn't completely fall out with Xiao Chao.
Therefore, Dugu Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and told Xiao Chao everything that happened, wanting to see what kind of solution she had.
Xiao Chuo played with his slender fingers and said casually, "It's very simple. It depends on whether you value the Dugu clan's reputation more or your own position as the head of the clan more."
Dugu Yan frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chao said indifferently, "Don't you know what I mean? Even in your heart, you should have already made a decision.
Being stubborn to Su Xin to the end and going to ask the Ancestor for help, the one who will lose face is you, Dugu Yan. As the Family Head, you are so incompetent. Your prestige in the Dugu clan will definitely be greatly reduced, but you have temporarily preserved the Dugu clan's reputation.
But if you go and admit defeat to Su Xin, you will lose the entire Dugu clan's reputation. But in the end, the matter will be resolved. Although you will also lose face, when outsiders think of this matter, they will first mention the Dugu clan and not you, Dugu Yan.
As for those in the Dugu clan who are gossiping, then let them try it themselves. Whoever is placed in this position will make the choice that suits their own interests. "
Dugu Yan was silent. Xiao Chao was right, Dugu Yan was never the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for a little bit of the clan's interests.
At this moment, Xiao Chao reminded him, "If you have made a decision, then make a move quickly. The Ancestor is in closed door cultivation now and doesn't know of this matter. If you hesitate here, there might be people who will go to the Ancestor to gossip."
There were many people in the entire Dugu clan who coveted the position of Family Head, and there might be some sinister fellows who would secretly cause trouble.
Dugu Yan paused for a moment and said, "But that Su Xin wants me to take out something that satisfies him before he is willing to let them go. What does he mean by this? What if he isn't satisfied with what I take out? "
Xiao Chao said lazily, "Don't worry about it so much. As long as you can take out something that's not too bad, Su Xin will definitely let them go. What he wants is the Dugu clan's attitude, and he doesn't want to completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Dugu clan."
Dugu Yan nodded, he didn't doubt Xiao Chao. After all, so many years had passed, and Xiao Chao's advice had never been wrong. So Dugu Yan chose to believe in Xiao Chao.
At this moment, Xiao Chao suddenly said, "I have some matters to attend to during this period of time. I might be away for a long time."
Dugu Yan frowned, but didn't say anything. He only indicated that he already knew.
Xiao Chao wasn't like those ladies from other aristocratic families who usually only hung around in the backyard. On the contrary, she spent most of her time not in the Dugu clan.
The way Dugu Yan and Xiao Chao interacted with each other was very strange. Simply put, if you don't care about me, I won't care about you either.
Dugu Yan went outside to find a mistress, and even had an illegitimate child, Xiao Chao didn't care. But at the same time, Dugu Yan shouldn't care about Xiao Chao's matters either.
So even though Dugu Yan knew that Xiao Chao often went out, he didn't care. He didn't even ask about it.
In any case, he knew that with Xiao Chao's personality, something big would only happen if she stayed in the Dugu clan. It would be fine as long as she didn't go overboard.
Three days later, Su Xin had been waiting at Six Fan School. Fang Jiuyuan and the others were also watching. They wanted to see if the Dugu clan would give in.
Of course, according to their expectations, it would be best for the Dugu clan to not give in and fight to the death with Su Xin.
However, the Dugu clan's reaction disappointed them.
Three days later, Dugu Yan personally came to collect the people. This made Fang Jiuyuan and the others' eyes pop out.
The people of the Dugu clan were too cowardly. Facing a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert like Su Xin, they actually lowered their heads and gave in.
When he found Su Xin, Dugu Yan directly threw a box at him and said coldly, "Can I take them away now?"
Su Xin didn't even look at the things in the box. He immediately called Huang Bingcheng and said, "Go, bring the Dugu clan head and bring back all the people from his vassal sects."
Su Xin looked at Dugu Yan and said, "Dugu clan head, I, Su Xin, am a man of my words. I served those people with good wine and food. I guarantee that they didn't suffer any harm.
Of course, if this happens again, it's not certain whether these people will be able to walk out of Six Fan School safely. "
Dugu Yan coldly snorted. He didn't care about Su Xin's threat and directly left with his people.
Xiao Chuo was right. Su Xin's previous words were purely to scare him. No matter what he took out, as long as he admitted defeat, Su Xin would let them go.
However, after this incident, the other forces once again recognized Su Xin's character.
As long as you wanted to make a move against Su Xin, whether you succeeded or not, you had to be prepared for Su Xin's revenge.
Just like this time, Su Xin indeed didn't make a move against the Dugu clan. However, he still made the Dugu clan feel disgusted and had no choice but to give in in the end.
If other forces wanted to make a move against Su Xin again, they would have to consider whether they could withstand Su Xin's revenge.
After all, Su Xin's methods were famous for being ruthless. Even if he couldn't hurt you badly, he would still give you a headache.
Dugu Yan walked over and Su Xin opened the box. Inside were two strange-looking plants that were about seven inches long. They looked like the spine of a dragon. These were the Dugu clan's specialty, the Bone Dragon Vines.
However, these Bone Dragon Vines were much more unique than the greyish-white Bone Dragon Vines in the outside world. They were purple in color and looked extraordinary. Obviously, these two Bone Dragon Vines were also treasures.
Su Xin didn't need these things. However, although few people needed Bone Dragon Vines, there were even fewer places where they could be found. Therefore, their price was not low.
These two purple supreme-grade Bone Dragon Vines were worth a lot of money. However, they were useless to Su Xin. Therefore, Su Xin handed them over to Huang Bingcheng and asked him to exchange them for a few useful elixirs in the Six Fan School's treasure vault.
The Six Fan School's treasure vault could be used to exchange merit points for all kinds of treasures. However, if some constables accidentally found a treasure that they couldn't use, they could also exchange it in the treasure vault. However, the value of the item would definitely be lower than the value of the item. This way, the Six Fan School would never suffer a loss.
The Bone Dragon Vines were useless to him. Therefore, he might as well exchange for something that he could use. He didn't need to worry too much about it.
After Huang Bingcheng left with the Bone Dragon Vines, a message flashed on the token of the Hades in Su Xin's hand. It turned out that someone from the Hades was looking for him. Moreover, he was in Shengjing City.
