The entire gathering was shocked and helpless.
Some people hid under the tables, not daring to make a sound.
They feared that Su Muwan's next target for a slap might be them.
Although they knew Su Muwan was lawless, they never imagined she would be this brazen.
She directly ordered her follower to viciously slap her great uncle's family in front of all the relatives.
She even made Yuwen Hua, the young master of the Yuwen Clan from Wang City, kneel on the ground, and still hadn't allowed him to get up.
A feeling of shock and scalp-tingling terror filled the hearts of all the banquet attendees.
Was there really no one who could control this situation?
Yuwen Hua knelt on the ground, with only one thought in his mind.
How could Su Muwan do this? How dare she publicly disrespect the Yuwen Clan?
It was well known that the Su Family had a Peak Realm expert as their protector, but so did the Yuwen Clan!
Could it be that Su Muwan wanted to completely sever ties between the two families?
A strong sense of shock and humiliation filled Yuwen Hua's heart.
He was shocked that Su Muwan's power was even stronger than his guardian's, and humiliated that he, Yuwen Hua, had been forced to kneel in public.
And he was still maintaining this position even now.
Meanwhile, on Qin Luo's side.
After he finished dealing with Su Tian's family.
The system also sent a prompt.
[Congratulations, Master, for completing the "Su Family Banquet" lapdog event!]
[Event rating: S-class!]
[Reward obtained: Rumor Mill (Master's words will be believed by others due to the villain's reputation)]
He smirked. Oh?
Interesting.
Qin Luo glanced at Su Tian's family wailing on the ground, and immediately thought of a good idea.
At this moment.
A strong voice resonated through the banquet hall: "Who dares to cause trouble at my Su Family's banquet?!"
Hearing this voice.
All the relatives hiding under the tables brightened up.
This voice was... Old Master Su?!!!
Thank goodness!!
Everyone looked up.
They saw.
Old Master Su, Su Ba, with his vigor restored, walked in from outside with a gloomy expression.
Two steps behind him were Su Muwan's mother and father.
They quickly scanned the scene in the hall.
And were immediately shocked.
What... was going on here?
Seeing Old Master Su arrive.
The crowd could no longer contain themselves.
They all cried out in unison: "We beg Old Master Su to uphold justice for us!!"
Su Tian, his face swollen from the slaps and barely able to speak clearly, knelt on the ground and cried out to Su Ba with tears streaming down his face: "Father!! Look at what your granddaughter has done!!"
"Look at what her follower has done to my family!!!"
"Father—— Ugh!"
Before he could finish speaking.
Slap!
Qin Luo delivered another slap, then angrily berated him: "What are you yelling about! Don't you know why you're being slapped?!"
"You actually colluded with the Yuwen Clan to try and take over the Su Family, how vicious of you!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire gathering was shocked.
What?
So Su Tian's family's goal in currying favor with Yuwen Hua wasn't just to become the head of the Su Family, but to hand over the Su Family to the Yuwen Clan to swallow up?!!
Su Tian was dumbfounded, he tried to retort: "I..."
Slap!
Before he could finish.
Qin Luo delivered another slap, shouting angrily: "You dare to talk back?!"
The [Rumor Mill] effect took hold.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly as they closed their mouths.
Even the relatives who had previously sided with Su Tian's family quickly lowered their heads.
They were shocked.
So Su Tian's family had such wild ambitions, harboring such thoughts?
How had they not noticed?
But... how did this follower know about it?
Could it be...!
They widened their eyes and looked at the unperturbed Su Muwan.
In an instant, they all understood.
After all, how could a junior dare to lay hands on their elder?
What did this mean? It meant that this elder was problematic!
Why did Su Muwan only have Qin Luo slap Su Tian's family and not the others?
This meant that... Su Muwan had actually known all along about Su Tian's family colluding with the Yuwen Clan.
At this moment, she was eliminating traitors for the Su Family!!
So that's how it was!
Everyone's eyes filled with admiration and shock for Su Muwan.
Who would have thought?
Not only was her martial talent extraordinary, but even her scheming was so profound!
This woman... was terrifyingly formidable!
Yuwen Hua knelt on the ground, his face contorted.
What?
How could his plans have been discovered by Su Muwan?
No! This is impossible! I don't believe it!
Wait...
No...
Yuwen Hua's pupils constricted, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his hair standing on end.
Why would Su Muwan's follower dare to lay hands on him?
Didn't this indicate that all of this was orchestrated by Su Muwan behind the scenes?
Because she had already detected his plan to swallow up the Su Family.
So she deliberately set herself up as bait, waiting for him to come.
Then she could expose his intentions and thoroughly humiliate him.
What... what a vicious scheme.
Yuwen Hua realized he had made a mistake, and a huge one at that.
Su Muwan was not at all the useless young miss he had imagined her to be.
Instead, she was... a terrifying existence just like the great personage behind him!!!!
Extraordinary martial talent, extremely meticulous planning.
That's right!
And then there were Tang Wenyu and her daughter.
Why had they joined the Su Corporation?
And why had Su Muwan allowed them to join?
This... could it be...
She even knew about the War God's Command Token?!!!
Hiss!!
Yuwen Hua's eyes filled with terror, his nails digging into the ground.
No!
I must inform the great personage...
This woman... must not be allowed to live!!
Su Muwan stood to the side, her expression unchanged.
But inwardly, she was startled.
Wait, what exactly was going on now?
Why were all the sounds around her of people sucking in cold breaths?
And why were they looking at her with those strange expressions??
What on earth were they thinking?!!
And also! Was Su Tian's family really trying to help the Yuwen Clan swallow up our Su Family?
How come I didn't know about this?!
Wait, no...
Su Muwan was stunned.
Then she turned to look at Qin Luo in shock.
Qin Luo! Could it be that you calculated all this as well?
Seeing Su Muwan look at him.
Qin Luo couldn't help but smile slightly, immediately bowing and shouting: "The young miss has keen insight and wisdom, discovering these people's vicious intentions early on."
"That's why she had me deliberately set up this trap at the family banquet, to... expose their treacherous faces!"
Su Muwan was dumbfounded: ?
Su Tian's wife heard this and turned pale, looking at her husband Su Tian in disbelief: "You... you actually wanted to help the Yuwen Clan swallow up the Su Family?"
She screamed: "Do you have a death wish?!"
Su Tianquan also cried out: "Father! Why are you so foolish!"
Su Tian'ao covered his face, still in disbelief.
What was going on? He had just gone to Wang City to gain some prestige, how had he come back to become a family traitor?
Su Tian had been beaten so badly he couldn't speak.
His expression was painful and devastated, mumbling incoherently: "Mmph mmph mmph (I didn't, I haven't)"
Seeing this scene, everyone believed this was Su Tian's painful confession after having his true colors exposed.
Just as the scene was in complete chaos.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out.
It immediately brought everyone back to their senses.
They all looked over.
They saw.
Su Ba with a gloomy expression, scanning over all the relatives before his gaze settled on Su Tian's family.
He said coldly: "Su Tian's family harbors wild ambitions."
"I hereby announce that they are expelled from the Su Family, and all resources belonging to the Su Family will be reclaimed from them!"
