Chapter 1198 Indulgence
"The old butler is here, it seems the Vermilion Bird lineage is in trouble!"
The surrounding discussions made Su Yunxi's and the others' expressions change, revealing hints of worry.
However, Chen Xuan remained calm. This old guy had been in the crowd from the beginning. He hadn't shown himself earlier, which clearly meant he tacitly approved of him beating people. Now that he was out, it was obvious he was worried about the situation escalating.
He doubted this old butler would try to mediate unfairly, after all, the arrival of the Vermilion Bird lineage was very important to the Kyoto Su family.
"Steward Wu, my juniors are young and impetuous and don't understand things. Please, Steward, be accommodating." Old Master Su said with a fawning smile.
"Old Master Su, you're too kind. This matter will be handled impartially."
After speaking, the old butler glanced at Chen Xuan and asked, "Did you hit them?"
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "I did, but he deserved it. He arranged a Santana for us to ride in, wasn't that a humiliation? If I didn't respond, people would think we're easy to bully. Do you think I was right to hit him?"
The old butler naturally wouldn't answer this question. Instead, he looked at Su Pingchao and said sternly, "The Patriarch sent me to welcome the Vermilion Bird lineage. Do you think I still need to inform the Patriarch about this matter?"
"This... Steward Wu... but he hit someone..."
Su Pingchao said unwillingly.
"Since you disagree, I will also report to the Patriarch about you using a Santana to pick up the Vermilion Bird lineage. At that time, it might not be beneficial for you."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Su Pingchao had nothing more to say. He could only grit his teeth and swallow his pride, saying, "Let's not tell the Patriarch about this!"
Su Pingchao quickly stood up and prepared to leave, but stopped in front of Chen Xuan and the others, threatening, "You just wait, this isn't over!"
With that, Su Pingchao flicked his sleeve and left, rushing to treat his wounds.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting the outcome to be like this. The old butler's attitude represented the Patriarch's attitude. Did that mean the Patriarch was also protecting the Vermilion Bird lineage?
"Tch, what's so great about that? I heard Su Yingxiong from the Jia lineage is coming back. He's the top genius of the Jia lineage and works in the Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade!"
"A long time ago, I heard that when Su Zihao was beaten, Su Yingxiong vowed to cripple that live-in son-in-law himself. But I didn't expect this live-in son-in-law to have beaten Su Pingchao, the head of the Jia lineage, again!"
"If Su Yingxiong comes, it will be interesting!"
Old Master Su glanced at the old butler and said with a smile, "Thank you, Steward!"
"I am only handling this impartially, no need for thanks."
The old butler smiled faintly and waved his hand.
Jiang Biyun glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "Thank Steward Wu quickly."
Chen Xuan shrugged, "Why should I thank him? He tacitly approved of me hitting Su Pingchao."
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned, even the old butler looked at Chen Xuan.
"Chen Xuan, what are you talking about?" Su Yunxi asked with confusion.
Chen Xuan explained, "The old butler was in the crowd just now, watching me beat Su Pingchao the whole time. If he thought I was wrong, do you think Steward Wu would not have stopped me?"
So, everyone looked at the old butler.
Upon hearing this, the old butler was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Kid, I didn't expect your observational skills to be so sharp!"
At first, he thought Chen Xuan was just an reckless brat. But now, it seemed this guy was not only not a hothead but also very wise and knew how to assess the situation!
Although the old butler didn't say it explicitly, he clearly tacitly approved of Chen Xuan's statement.
"However, there is one thing I need to remind you. The Jia lineage, where Su Pingchao belongs, has an outstanding genius. He entered the Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade at a young age and holds a significant position. Su Yingxiong will inevitably come forward to support the Jia lineage."
The old butler looked at Chen Xuan and said seriously.
"Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"Precisely. You must know that not everyone can enter the Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Even the wealthy and noble families in Kyoto, if they have outstanding talent and join the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, they will first be assigned to Yanhuang Iron Brigades in other places for training. Only after accumulating merits will they be qualified to enter the headquarters of the Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade."
"That's nothing special," Chen Xuan said indifferently.
The old butler almost choked.
He stared at Chen Xuan with wide eyes. Was this guy an idiot?
Or had he misjudged this person earlier? Otherwise, how could this guy say such a brainless thing?
The old butler took a breath and continued, "You are from Jiangnan Province, so you should know Wei Changgeng. Wei Changgeng accumulated so many merits before he could come to the Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade from the provincial capital. However, to my knowledge, he is a subordinate of Su Yingxiong!"
"What?"
This time, even Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.
As for Jiang Biyun, Su Yunxi, and the others, they were all greatly shocked.
Wei Changgeng was the head of the Jiangnan Province Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Not long ago, he was promoted to the Kyoto Yanhuang Iron Brigade. But unexpectedly, he was a subordinate of a junior from the Su family. How astonishingly talented must Su Yingxiong be?
"So, Mr. Chen, it's better to be low-key," the old butler said with a faint smile.
"This is what the Su family Patriarch wants you to tell me, right? I've heard you, but I think you should tell Su Yingxiong to provoke me less. Otherwise, I guarantee I'll turn him from a hero into a nobody!"
Chen Xuan said firmly.
"You..."
The old butler's expression changed.
The surroundings instantly fell silent, and then erupted again!
"That Su Yingxiong is the third-ranked genius in our Kyoto Su family! He's a genius who has already made a name for himself in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade!"
"This guy actually said he'd turn him into a nobody. Isn't this guy too arrogant?"
"I bet this kid is dead today. When Su Yingxiong comes back, he'll definitely beat this guy to a pulp!"
The old butler felt this kid was getting too carried away and had completely lost his patience. He said, "You're on your own. Don't think the Patriarch will indulge you. The Patriarch doesn't meddle in everything, and you don't represent the Vermilion Bird lineage!"
With that, the old butler flicked his sleeve and left.
The reason the Patriarch protected Chen Xuan this time was because of the Vermilion Bird lineage. But if Chen Xuan went too far, the Patriarch might not care about him.
"Chen Xuan, watch your mouth, or you'll bring us disaster!" Jiang Biyun gritted her teeth hatefully.
It wasn't that she didn't believe in Chen Xuan's strength, but there were too many important figures in Kyoto. Su Yingxiong was such a prominent figure. If these words reached his ears, it would likely cause an uproar, and the Vermilion Bird lineage would also be implicated.
Chen Xuan spread his hands, "Just someone from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, what's so great about that."
"......"
Jiang Biyun was speechless.
Su Yunxi didn't want to dwell on this matter. "Grandpa, Mom, let's go in quickly."
Jiang Biyun took a breath, controlled her emotions, realizing some things were inevitable.
She helped the staggering Old Master Su and walked towards the living room.
"Chen Xuan, let's go in too." Su Yunxi also looked at Chen Xuan.
"Okay." Chen Xuan grinned.
Su Yunxi then hooked her arm around Chen Xuan's, very intimately, and swaggered into the hall.
