Chapter 616: Return Medication!
As the words fell, Su Jingting gently pushed the jade box in front of the middle-aged beauty.
"This...".
Seeing Su Jingting actually pushing back such a precious treasure, the members of the Su family present had a gloomy expression and couldn't bear the sight. Such a valuable treasure, the entire Su family couldn't afford to buy it even if they lost everything.
Seeing Su Jingting's action, the people from Sacred Mountain all had a dark complexion, as this seemed unexpected to everyone.
"Master of the Su family, what do you mean by this? Are you underestimating Sacred Mountain?" The middle-aged beauty's expression changed, her face now gloomy as she looked at Su Jingting with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"I dare not, it's only that Sacred Mountain's favor is so great, and I am unworthy of it." Su Jingting looked up and spoke respectfully to the middle-aged beauty, with a dignified and calm expression.
"I advise the Master of the Su family to think carefully. Originally, this matter was only a notification from Sacred Mountain to the Su family. Don't show no appreciation of favor."
The middle-aged beauty's casual tone caused the entire hall's atmosphere to inexplicably become rigid, as if a chill was quietly spreading.
The members of the Su family had darkened expressions and could all feel that this Sacred Mountain steward was clearly becoming angry. Offending this Sacred Mountain steward would undoubtedly be detrimental to the Su family.
Su Jingting 's gaze flickered, his fists clenched silently, then relaxed. He took a deep breath and stood up, clasping his fists in salute as he continued speaking to the middle-aged beauty, "My son is in Sacred Mountain, and I would like to thank the steward for taking care of him. However, at this moment, I, Su Jingting, am unable to make decisions, and I naturally dare not accept such a precious gift."
"Hmph!"
Hearing Su Jingting 's words, the middle-aged beauty's expression on her face completely darkened. She gave a cold snort from her throat, stood up and remained silent with an unsparing and gloomy expression, then said coldly, "Master of the Su family, let's put an end to this matter. This is just to inform the Su family that the engagement between the Su family and the Liu family is now canceled. That's it. Let's go!"
As the words fell, the middle-aged beauty waved her hand and left.
Several young disciples also had indifferent expressions as they glanced at the members of the Su family in the hall, carrying a hint of coldness, and left directly.
"Please take your time, Steward." Su Jingting spoke.
"Does the Master of the Su family have anything else to say?" The middle-aged beauty stopped and turned her head, looking at Su Jingting with a faint fluctuation in her eyes, as if she thought Su Jingting had changed his mind.
"Please take this pill back, Steward. The Su family is indebted to you!"
Su Jingting stepped forward and handed the jade box to the middle-aged beauty.
"The Su family, good, very good!"
The middle-aged beauty was stunned for a moment, then took the pill from Su Jingting 's hand. She had a faint cold smile on her face, with a indifferent expression, and then turned and left.
"Steward, please don't be angry."
Several elderly members of the Su family's expressions changed dramatically, looking uneasy. They promptly stood up and nervously bid farewell.
"Master, we have offended the Sacred Mountain. There may be consequences in the future..."
There are also a few remaining members of the Su family, their faces solemn. They are concerned about offending the individuals sent by the Sacred Mountain, especially considering Su Wei's presence there.
"The cancellation of the engagement between the former family head and the Liu family should be decided by the former family head and the Liu family," said Su Jingting.
"But Su Yi is already dead, and the engagement no longer holds any meaning. It is unnecessary to offend the Sacred Mountain over this."
One elderly member of the Su family spoke up, stating that since Su Yi is already dead, the engagement itself has lost all meaning. With Su Wei still at the Sacred Mountain, he may face significant consequences in the future.
"Su Yi is said to be dead according to the Sacred Mountain, but what if he is not really dead? We haven't seen his body."
Su Jingting spoke up, sweeping his sleeves and saying to everyone, "Let's not bring this up again from now on. It's settled like this."
"Sigh..."
Hearing this, several elderly members of the Su family sighed. Offending the Sacred Mountain for a deceased Su Yi was definitely not a wise move.
"Master, Master..."
A servant from the Su family hurriedly arrived, looking surprised and anxious.
"What's the rush?" Su Jingting asked, with a slightly serious expression.
"Miss Liu Ruoxi from the Liu family has arrived and says she wants to meet the former family head."
The servant from the Su family spoke, still trembling in their heart. That woman, like a celestial being, made it difficult for them to even meet her gaze.
"Liu Ruoxi..."
Hearing this, Su Jingting's expression immediately filled with surprise and confusion.
A moment later, in the Su family's hall.
Liu Ruoxi gracefully entered with light steps, strolling forward and politely bowing. She said to Su Jingting, "Ruoxi pays her respects to Uncle Su."
"You're too kind. Your presence is truly bewitching."
Su Jingting's heart trembled as he looked at the woman before him, ethereal like a celestial being. She seemed like a transcendent entity. As a disciple of the Sacred Mountain, she held an esteemed position, highly regarded by many. Her current status was far beyond what it used to be.
"Uncle Su is too polite. It has been several years since we last met, yet Uncle's demeanor remains unchanged," Liu Ruoxi said with a charming smile as she stood up.
"It has been many years, and my niece has grown up. I, Su, feel embarrassed," Su Jingting replied.
Su Jingting spoke, looking at the young girl before him. After not seeing her for many years, the little girl from the past had grown into such a captivating person. The intangible aura emanating from her made him feel astonished, causing more pressure than the Sacred Mountain steward he had just faced.
"Just now, my niece encountered the individuals sent by the Sacred Mountain, but she was unaware of their intentions. If it caused any inconvenience or trouble to Uncle Su and the Su family, my niece apologizes and kindly asks for your forgiveness," Liu Ruoxi bowed apologetically. Just outside the gate, she had seen the Sacred Mountain visitors leave, and from their expressions, it seemed that their encounter hadn't been pleasant.
The Sacred Mountain's representatives came to the Su family secretly. Liu Ruoxi didn't need much speculation to know what had happened.
"This really troubles me. Please, get up." Su Jingting's expression darkened as he quickly helped Liu Ruoxi up.
"Miss Liu is seriously injured."
Several elders from the Su family also quickly apologized. Today, Liu Ruoxi's status is completely different compared to before. She is one of Sacred Mountain's most valued disciples. How can she be compared to the insignificant Su family?
"I heard that the patriarch is injured, and my father specially asked me to come and pay respects. I remember the remarkable presence of the patriarch when I was young. This is just a small gesture, a show of my filial piety. Uncle Su, please don't refuse. Otherwise, my niece won't be able to go back and report to her father."
After Liu Ruoxi finished speaking, she handed a vial to Su Jingting, her expression sincere.
"This..."
Su Jingting hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat surprised. He accepted the vial and said, "Then, thank you, niece and the city lord. I will go back and convey my father's gratitude to the city lord. After my father finishes his seclusion, I will definitely inform him."
