Chapter 992 - B*stards With No Future

Han Fei and the others blended into the crowd at the door.

Although some people found them unfamiliar, they didn’t see that Han Fei and the others had come, so they only thought that it was a gathering of youths.

Han Fei and the others also kept a low profile. In fact, although Luo Xiaobai was very polite just now, she was actually saying that they needed to see the Su Family’s original appearance themselves, not the way they were going to be shown...

This was the way descendants of large families spoke. Amidst their tactfulness, there was a forcefulness.

Luo Xiaobai had always been a meticulous person. Since they were coming to the Su Family to accept disciples, they had to see what the Su Family was like. Therefore, after entering, they pretended to be incognito.

Of course, this didn’t stop the Su Family from hiding the truth well.

Behind Han Fei and the others was a Su Family’s servant at the Hanging Fisher realm. At this moment, the man took a glance at Han Fei and the others secretly and said cautiously, “Young masters, do you need me to take you around?”

Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “No, just follow us. You don’t have to make a sound.”

The servant hurriedly lowered his head and said, “Yes, Miss.”

In fact, there was nothing interesting about the elegant landscape of gardens. Usually, rich families would pursue something entertaining for fun.

Han Fei and the others quickly left the crowd and walked to a remote place. After all, the Su Family was very large. Even though it had declined, the house was still like an imperial palace. There were small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, ornamental rocks, and other scenery.

But enjoying the scenery wasn’t Han Fei’s goal. In Luo Xiaobai’s words, to see what a family was like, one had to see what the ordinary members of the family were like. Then, one had to see what the low-level members of the family were like. Finally, one had to see what the high-level members were like.

This way, they could compare and perhaps figure them out.

Along the way, Han Fei and the others encountered many people. Of course, there were guards in many courtyards. These people weren’t difficult to communicate with. After knowing their identities, they just let them walk freely.

In fact, in such a family, the guards were not needed. If someone really dared to break in, it would be impossible for them to be discovered by the guards. Therefore, the guards were more like a display of splendour.

After they completely left the crowd, Han Fei suddenly said, “Wait for me.”

Li Luoluo asked, “What’s wrong?”

Han Fei closed his eyes and listened. He ignored the noise at the front door and only listened to the silence.

...

The imperial palace had 9,999 rooms, but there was also a place like the Cold Palace.

In the Su Family, it must be the same case.

Although Han Fei’s perception range was large, he didn’t pry too closely. However, through the sounds coming from everywhere, he could locate a member of the Su Family.

About twenty kilometers away from Han Fei, in a courtyard, a woman’s voice was arguing about something.

The voice said angrily, “Why can’t my son, Sanqian, attend the banquet? Sanqian is already twelve years old this year. His talent isn’t bad.”

Another female voice shouted, “You should know that this is a matter that concerns the rise and fall of the Su Family. There’ll be only two people who can enter the Thug Academy. How many people in our family have quarreled over this? How many people have been suppressed? Su Sanqian’s talent is average. It’s fine if he doesn’t go to the banquet, but if he goes, do you know how many people he will offend if he isn’t chosen?”

In the courtyard...

A woman dressed in plain clothes was arguing with a maidservant dressed in relatively luxurious clothes. Beside her stood a youth with an expressionless face.

“Mom, I’m not going.”

The woman hurriedly said, “Son, this is our only chance. You must go even if we have to risk our lives.”

However, the maidservant sneered and said, “Risk your lives? So what? Don’t you know how many branches there are in our family? Is any one of them something you, an orphan and a widow, can deal with? I’m doing this for your own good... Su Sanqian, you have to be sensible. You can’t go to this banquet. Otherwise, you will be harming yourselves.”

The maidservant looked like she was consoling them, but in fact, her expression was contemptuous. She wasn’t kind to the mother and son at all and was even a bit bossy.

The woman suddenly turned serious. “Su Sanqian, I’m your mother. Instead of being depressed in this courtyard, why don’t you give it a try? Your father didn’t have any say when he was still alive. Now that he’s dead, are you willing to live under someone else’s roof for the rest of your life?”

As the woman spoke, her eyes turned red and tears flew down. She stared straight at her son.

The youth clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with grief and indignation. He looked at his pained mother and then at the indifferent maidservant. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go.”

“No way!”

The maid servant’s expression immediately turned cold as she looked coldly at Su Sanqian and his mother. “You’d better know your limits. Although you are a b*stard son, you still have a chance to stand out. However, once you leave this door today, humph... Only death awaits you.”

Outside, Luo Xiaobai and the others had already arrived under Han Fei’s lead.

In fact, Han Fei heard people discussing the Thug Academy along the way.

After all, everyone had already received the news. Many of the older generation knew how glorious the Thug Academy used to be, so the discussion never stopped.

However, there was really no one like Su Sanqian and his mother who would risk their lives to attend the banquet.

Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei and said with a frown, “There are actually many collateral branches in the big clans. These people usually don’t have high statuses. Furthermore, there are many factions within the large families. The bastard children almost never have a chance to make a name for themselves.”

Zhang Xuanyu said angrily, “I hate such bossy people the most. I want to see why a maidservant is so arrogant...”

Just as Zhang Xuanyu was about to walk in, he was stopped by Han Fei. Han Fei gave Zhang Xuanyu a strange look. This guy didn’t seem to have a noble birth, so he probably couldn’t bear to see this happen.

Han Fei said, “No rush. Let’s take a look first.”

The Hanging Fisher behind Han Fei and the others broke out into a cold sweat. The head of the family had already forbidden them from causing trouble during the banquet. Why didn’t these people listen? Were they out of their minds?

In the courtyard...

Su Sanqian’s mother refused to give in and said stubbornly, “My son will definitely go today. You don’t want to cause a commotion here, right?”

The maid servant’s expression changed slightly. “Why? Do you want to fight us?”

At that instant, the maidservant used a strange footwork technique. With a flash, she grabbed the woman’s neck.

“Don’t touch my mother!”

Su Sanqian shouted, but he was too weak. How could a junior fishing master be faster than a peak-level Hanging Fisher? With just a shock wave, he was sent flying.

“Sanqian!”

As the maidservant didn’t really want to hurt anyone, Su Sanqian only flew out. At that moment, a spider silk hit the ground. Su Sanqian twisted his body and a long stick appeared in his hand as he attempted to counterattack.

Li Luoluo said in surprise, “Ah! This child is cultivating both as a manipulator and a soul warrior!”

Su Sanqian’s mother tried to use her finger to block, but she was too weak. The maidservant grabbed her by the neck.

Then the maidservant casually grabbed Su Sanqian’s long stick and said coldly, “Are you refusing me only to be made a fool? How dare you not give your Third Madam face? Just wait till you’re kicked out of the Thousand Star City! In fact, Yang Qing’er, if it weren’t for the head of the family, do you think you could remain in the Thousand Star City with your little strength?”

“Let go of my mother!”

The maidservant sneered. “If you really care about your mother, you should stay here obediently. Don’t have any improper thoughts. I’ll teach you a lesson today. If you dare cause trouble again, no one will be able to save you.”

“What bold words!”

Just as the maidservant was about to teach the mother and son a lesson, a magnetic voice sounded behind her.

The maid servant’s expression immediately changed. She hurriedly turned her head and saw an extremely handsome young man leaning against the wall, watching this scene indifferently.

The maidservant was stunned by the person’s handsome appearance. She was sure that she had never seen this person before. Feeling that her current image wasn’t good, she hurriedly retracted her hand and bowed slightly at Zhang Xuanyu. “Young Master, you are?”

Zhang Xuanyu curled his lips. “Didn’t you want to teach them a lesson? Why aren’t you attacking?”

Sensing Zhang Xuanyu’s slight mockery, the maid servant’s expression changed slightly. The visitor wasn’t friendly.

Her expression immediately turned cold. “Young Master, are you here to attend the banquet? This is the Su Family’s inner chambers. Young Master, you shouldn’t be here.”

Zhang Xuanyu smiled and said, “I’m standing here now. Is there a problem?”

Opposite him, the woman hurriedly ran in front of Su Sanqian and protected him behind her. Not just anyone could barge into the Su family’s residence. The visitor’s identity was probably not simple.

The maidservant frowned. “Young Master, this is a family matter of the Su Family. You shouldn’t interfere.”

Zhang Xuanyu sneered. “Is this how the Su Family treats their own family? Aren’t b*stard children just kids? Can’t even attend banquets? This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”

With that, Zhang Xuanyu looked at Su Sanqian and his mother. “Go ahead. Don’t mind her.”

“Stop!”

The maidservant blocked his way and looked at Zhang Xuanyu coldly. “Young Master, aren’t you being too nosy?”

Hum!

As the pressure descended, the maidservant staggered as blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.

Who was Zhang Xuanyu? He had a powerful soul and was best at soul attacks. How could a peak-level Hanging Fisher withstand his pressure?

Zhang Xuanyu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled devilishly. “What can you do if I interfere? Why don’t you get your master to come out?”
