Just a foster son, recognize your place

Upon hearing this, Su Muwan calmly explained to Qin Luo: "Although Qin Luo is my attendant, his abilities are worthy of being on par with me."

"Qin Luo might also be able to treat my grandfather's injury, and my parents want to meet him as well, so that's why I brought him along."

"Uncle Xu, please lead the way."

As she spoke, Su Muwan looked at Uncle Xu.

In her mind, she recalled Uncle Xu's actions from her previous life.

From the time he was adopted by Su Muwan's grandfather as a young boy and made his foster son.

Even then, he had been scheming in his mind about how to seize the Su family's assets and take the position of family head.

Unfortunately... how could the vast Su family business possibly be handed over to an outsider?

So, when Uncle Xu realized he would never inherit the Su family in this life, he thought of another plan.

That was to voluntarily become the Su family's butler.

And then... have his biological daughter... Su Bailian inherit the Su family!!

Everyone was fooled by Uncle Xu's seemingly loyal and devoted appearance.

In reality, he was the most deeply hidden schemer, only revealing that Su Bailian was his biological daughter on his deathbed.

Originally, Su Muwan's parents had only intended to choose an orphaned foster daughter as a whetstone to cultivate Su Muwan into the family head.

But unexpectedly... this foster daughter... was secretly replaced by Uncle Xu with his own biological daughter from outside the family.

He secretly helped Su Bailian gradually win over the family's hearts, step by step encroaching on various family businesses... until she touched the most important thing in the Su family...

That was martial arts!

Uncle Xu adjusted his glasses.

He looked at Su Muwan and Qin Luo with a smile on his face.

In reality, he was already secretly mocking them in his heart.

Hah, a pawn whose future was decided at birth actually dares to come back.

No matter...

You've wasted so much of my daughter's assistance.

So at this family banquet, I will surely make you lose all face!

Make it so you can never hold your head up in the Su family again!

Thinking of this,

Uncle Xu did not immediately lead Su Muwan and Qin Luo inside, but instead shook his head and said with a smile: "Young Miss, you may enter, but..."

He glanced sideways at Qin Luo and said coldly: "I cannot casually let in someone of unknown origins like this."

"You just said this boy could treat my foster father's injury."

"But..."

Uncle Xu's lips curled into a sneer as he looked mockingly at Qin Luo and said: "I don't believe it."

Su Muwan frowned, clenching her fists.

She hadn't expected Uncle Xu to not even bother putting on an act anymore, openly giving her a warning, was he?

Although on the surface she had been driven out of the Su family, in reality none of the rights she was entitled to had been taken away.

This Uncle Xu had truly been blinded by the simple glimmer of hope before his eyes.

Thinking of this,

Su Muwan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She looked at Uncle Xu and said coldly: "Uncle Xu, I've already said that Qin Luo might be able to treat him. Either lead the way or step aside."

Hearing this, Uncle Xu laughed inwardly.

Hah, this is exactly what I was waiting for you to say.

His expression also sank as he said sternly: "Young Miss, the Su patriarch is my foster father. I cannot entrust his life to the decisions of someone of unknown origins. The family banquet is in three days."

"Yet at a time like this, Young Miss, you bring back a follower of unknown background claiming he can treat my foster father."

"Young Miss... could it be... that you're joking with the Su patriarch's life?"

Saying this, Uncle Xu's expression became very righteous. He looked at Qin Luo and said coldly: "Let me tell you, the Young Miss is inexperienced in the ways of the world. I've also investigated your background - no father, no mother, no family or friends."

"How could you possibly know any medical skills? You're just trying to d..."

Slap!!

Before he could finish speaking,

Before the word "deceive" could leave his mouth,

A crisp sound interrupted Uncle Xu's speech.

Uncle Xu's face was tilted to the side, his eyes slightly dazed, his cheek stinging with pain.

What... I was... slapped?

By who?

He held his face, stiffly turning his head to look.

Only to see,

Su Muwan shaking out her wrist, her eyes cold as ice, her tone frigid as she said: "Shut up. Who do you think you are to point fingers at my people?"

"You're just a foster son, know your place."

!!

Su Muwan!!

Uncle Xu's pupils immediately contracted, murderous intent surging uncontrollably from his chest.

Su Muwan's words were like needles, repeatedly piercing his heart.

Foster son.

That's right.

He hated it most when others called him the Su patriarch's foster son.

He could call himself that, but absolutely would not allow others to say it!

Thinking of this, he had just opened his mouth to say something: "Su Muwan, you..."

Slap!

Before he could finish speaking,

His other cheek was slapped again.

Uncle Xu's head was tilted, his eyes shocked.

I was slapped again?!

By who?!

He widened his eyes, turning his head to look at the person who had hit him.

Only to see,

Qin Luo pushing up the lenses of those ridiculous sunglasses to reveal contemptuous eyes, then shaking out his wrist just like Su Muwan had done, his expression arrogant and domineering: "Useless thing! Who gave you permission to call my Young Miss by her full name?"

"A foster son should act like a foster son. You should be like that foster daughter Su Bailian, staying quietly to the side without annoying people."

As he spoke,

Qin Luo raised his middle finger at Uncle Xu: "Loser."

After speaking, Qin Luo lowered his sunglasses again.

He smiled and looked at Su Muwan, whose lips were twitching slightly, and said: "Let's go, Young Miss. I've figured out how to get there."

"I can already see the sightseeing cart parked behind the iron gates. Tsk tsk, I have to say, the Su family main house really is huge!"

Su Muwan hadn't expected Qin Luo to slap Uncle Xu without hesitation.

Seeing Uncle Xu's gloomy expression, she felt the man was about to explode with rage.

Qin Luo, do you have any idea this guy is currently at the late stage of the Foundation Realm, and in her past life had even broken through to the Mastery Realm?

Sigh.

Originally he would have only hated her, but now... he'll definitely hate Qin Luo too.

This guy really dares to provoke anyone.

Forget it.

Su Muwan smiled slightly, crossing her arms over her chest, the corners of her mouth curling up as she adopted a haughty attitude and walked towards the iron gates, saying: "Alright, this Young Miss will take you to meet my parents."

As she spoke, Su Muwan turned her head to address Zhu Lan and the others behind her who were staring in shock: "Zhu Lan, go park the car and then come inside."

Zhu Lan came back to her senses, looking at Uncle Xu who had been slapped twice and whose expression was now gloomy.

She swallowed hard and replied: "Yes!"

Hiss...

This Uncle Xu is a veteran expert at the late stage of the Foundation Realm.

It's said he could break through to the Mastery Realm at any time.

It's one thing for the Young Miss to hit him...

But you, Qin Luo, what right do you have to hit him too?

You really aren't afraid of death!

Wait!!

Zhu Lan suddenly reacted, looking at the retreating figures of Su Muwan and Qin Luo.

She suddenly understood.

No wonder the Young Miss treated Qin Luo so specially.

It turns out this Qin Luo... really is special!

That earlier statement ["The people you don't dare provoke, I, Qin Luo, dare to"] wasn't empty words?

Zhu Lan was thoroughly convinced by Qin Luo.

I admire you as a real man.

You even dare to slap the face of an expert at the late stage of the Foundation Realm!

She cupped her hands towards Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, we'll be taking our leave first."

With that, she called for Shen Fei and the others to go park the car.

As for Uncle Xu,

He stood rooted to the spot, clenching his fists tightly.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent. Being slapped twice and humiliated, he was about to explode with rage.

If there were a technique that could convert anger into cultivation power,

Perhaps... he would have broken through to the Mastery Realm by now.

He turned his head furiously, looking at the sightseeing cart carrying Su Muwan and Qin Luo as it drove further and further away.

Uncle Xu clenched his fists, growling with murderous intent: "Su Muwan... and that follower."

"I will surely make you wish you were dead!! Hiss..."

Damn it, how could that follower's slap hurt so much? It even penetrated my late Foundation Realm physique?

Curse them! If I don't avenge this grudge, I'm not fit to be human!!
