“Father!”

“Save me!”

Su Teng and Su Wanru were like helpless chicks, each held in one hand by Chen Fei. The moment they saw Su Xiangwu, they immediately cried out for mercy.

Su Xiangwu’s expression changed slightly as he halted his steps and looked at Chen Fei.

“Aren’t you supposed to be competing with the Lin family for control over the black copper ore?” Su Xiangwu asked in surprise.

“The authority over the black copper ore is already settled. How much time do you think that would take me?”

“Su Xiangwu, who gave you the audacity to lay hands on my sister-in-law?”

Chen Fei, carrying Su Teng and Su Wanru, walked toward Su Ran and the others.

“Chen Yang, let go of my children! This is a private matter of the Su family,” Su Xiangwu said, not expecting that the Lin family had failed to delay Chen Yang, allowing him to arrive at such a critical moment.

“As for Su Ran being your sister-in-law?” Su Xiangwu continued, “She merely used your brother as a shield; their marriage has always been in name only.”

“Besides, your brother Chen Fei already made an agreement with me. He took my third-grade pill and promised not to interfere in Su family affairs,” Su Xiangwu explained.

“What?”

“How is that possible?”

Su Xiangwen, who had finally seen Chen Yang arrive in an overpowering manner, had a glimmer of hope—only to be struck by the shocking revelation that her useless son-in-law had already betrayed her daughter.

“Ridiculous! Chen Fei would never betray me,” Su Ran instinctively frowned.

If Chen Fei had really betrayed her, why would Miao Yue have delivered three third-grade pills to her?

“Su Ran, nothing is impossible. Chen Fei is a man,” Su Wan sneered. “Being tied to you in name only—who would be willing?”

“Chen Fei is not only under the protection of his genius brother Chen Yang but also a deputy director of the Martial Bureau, favored by Master Liu and his wife. Only you treated him as useless and failed to cherish him properly.”

“Brother Chen Yang, if you don’t mind, I am willing to marry Chen Fei and make him the true son-in-law of the Su family,” Su Wan took the opportunity to declare in front of everyone, hoping to gain Chen Yang’s support.

“Yes, I approve of this marriage. Brother Chen Yang, what do you think?” Su Xiangwu quickly agreed, wanting to finalize the matter.

If he could ally with Chen Yang, the rising power of Huangwu City, the Su family would no longer need to bow to the city lord’s mansion.

All eyes turned to Chen Yang, eagerly waiting for his response.

Only Su Xiangwen and her family, along with Su Ran and Miao Yue, were filled with anxiety. If Chen Yang resented Su Ran for not treating Chen Fei as her true husband and agreed to Su Xiangwu’s proposal, they would have no chance to turn things around.

But no one present knew that Chen Yang was, in fact, Chen Fei himself.

Chen Fei scoffed at the idea. Though Su Ran was only his wife in name, she had saved his life and guided him.

Everything he was doing was to help Su Ran—how could he possibly betray her?

“My brother is already the son-in-law of the Su family. Whether or not their marriage is in name only is irrelevant.”

“What matters is that my brother repeatedly asked me to ensure my sister-in-law’s safety.”

“As for your so-called agreement with my brother, do you have any proof?”

Chen Fei casually tossed Su Teng and Su Wan aside and stood firmly in front of Su Ran, shielding her from Su Xiangwu and the other Su family members.

“Proof? How could there be proof?”

“If you bring Chen Fei here for a confrontation, the truth will be clear,” Su Wan hastily argued.

“Then wait until you find my brother before talking about it.”

“Until then, I demand you all leave my sister-in-law’s courtyard immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”

Chen Fei’s voice was cold and unyielding.

“Chen Yang, give us some time.”

“I’ll have my people bring your brother here right now.”

Su Xiangwu wasn’t willing to let the third-grade pill he had given away go to waste. He immediately ordered Su Wan and Su Teng to fetch Chen Fei.

“That won’t be necessary!”

“Get out!”

Chen Fei said impatiently.

“Chen Yang, are you determined to break ties with the Su family?” Su Xiangwu had already staged a coup—there was no turning back now. Today, he had to take Su Ran away, or he would be the one to suffer.

The Su family’s ancestor had already obtained the Xuan Stop Grass.

The reason he hadn’t appeared in the Su family yet was because Su Xiangwu had promised the city lord’s mansion that he would deliver Su Ran to them.

Right now, a powerful figure from the city lord’s mansion was blocking the Su family ancestor’s path, preventing him from intervening in the internal chaos of the Su household.

“I only care about protecting my sister-in-law and her family. I have no interest in Su family affairs.”

“However, if Second Lord Su is dissatisfied, you’re welcome to test my strength.”

Chen Fei spoke indifferently.

“Good!”

“They say you, Chen Yang, are the rising power of Huangwu City, even the city lord’s mansion gives you some respect.”

“Today, I’d like to see how strong you really are!”

Unaware that Chen Yang had already defeated the Lin family’s ancestor, Su Xiangwu had the courage to go all in.

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged forward like a fierce tiger, brandishing his large blade to strike at Chen Fei.

“Courting death!”

Chen Fei snorted coldly and showed no mercy. His longsword turned into a flurry of silver light, unleashing an endless tide of Silver Moon Sword Techniques to engulf Su Xiangwu.

“Second Brother, I’ll help you!”

“Chen Yang, Su family matters are not for an outsider to decide!”

Several Su family elders and masters joined the fray.

The Su family’s Great Elder, though aged with white hair, was formidable and not much weaker than Su Xiangwu.

In an instant, all the Su family’s core forces launched an all-out assault on Chen Fei.

Seeing this, Su Xiangwen frowned, immediately pulling her husband and daughter back.

“Why hasn’t the ancestor arrived yet?” Su Xiangwen was anxious. Without the ancestor’s presence, they had no way to resist the Su family’s powerful forces.

“The ancestor is likely being obstructed and cannot come for now,” Su Ran speculated.

“Does that mean our fate rests entirely on this Chen Yang?” Su Xiangwen was filled with unease. Could Chen Yang alone withstand the combined assault of nearly the entire Su family’s top fighters?

Despite being surrounded by over ten attackers, Chen Fei remained unfazed.

After all, he had already defeated the Lin family’s ancestor.

At this point, even if the city lord’s mansion’s Ye Chen personally intervened, he believed he had a high chance of victory.

So, he wasn’t in a hurry.

He planned to use this battle against the Su family’s experts to refine his combat techniques while also stalling for time—waiting to see if the Su family ancestor would arrive and uncover who exactly was backing Su Xiangwu.

Meanwhile, in a secluded residence near the Huangling mine…

The Su family ancestor sat anxiously.

“Don’t worry. Both Su Xiangwen and Su Xiangwu are your descendants. Does it matter which one becomes the Su family patriarch?”

A black-robed elder calmly sipped his tea.
