As evening gradually fell, in the courtyard of the Su Family's First Branch,
Zhang Su and his elder brother Zhang Chen sat beneath a tree.
The surroundings were completely quiet.
The servants had also tactfully kept their distance, not daring to disturb them.
Zhang Chen picked up the wine cup on the table and drained it in one gulp.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
W̊ е̄b n о̄v̌ еl̊ Е̊ n u ṁа̇
The wine was strong.
It burned Zhang Chen's throat and made him cough repeatedly.

Zhang Su looked at his elder brother.
In his memories, his elder brother had been a frail scholar who buried himself in books, gentle and refined.
Now, although his elder brother remained gentle and refined, he had matured considerably.
"Elder Brother, stop drinking. Your health isn't good."
Eňú m а .î ḋ_
Zhang Su stopped Zhang Chen.
"Hahaha, it's fine. I'm happy today. Seeing that you've actually accomplished something in the Origin Returning Sect puts my mind at ease. Father and Mother, wherever they are in the afterlife, would surely be very happy too."
Zhang Chen truly was happy.
He had spent the entire afternoon talking with Zhang Su.

Even now, he seemed reluctant to stop.
However, no matter what Zhang Chen talked about, it always came back to how successful Zhang Su had become.
Е̂ n̄ u_m a
It made him deeply gratified.
Yet he never mentioned any of his own hardships.
But Zhang Su knew that his elder brother had endured a great deal.
In the past, his elder brother had merely been a frail scholar who immersed himself in books and paid no attention to the outside world.
Now, however, he had to scheme carefully in the world of business and contend with merchants who constantly plotted against one another. It was mentally exhausting.
Moreover, the Su Family itself was far from peaceful.

"Elder Brother, you've had it hard..."
Zhang Su did not know what else to say.
A thousand words ultimately condensed into that single sentence.
"Had it hard... Hahaha, Second Brother, as long as you understand why I did all this, I'm already very happy."
"Actually, the hardest days are already behind me. Although I married into the Su Family, Zhenzhen treats me extremely well. Father-in-Law trusts me too and has handed all of the First Branch's businesses over to me."
"Tell me, what other live-in son-in-law could receive this much trust?"
Еn u m å
"Now Zhenzhen and I have Hutou, you've established yourself in the Origin Returning Sect, and Little Sister has also reached the age where marriage proposals will begin coming in... I'm truly very happy. In a few days, the three of us should go pay respects to Father and Mother together..."
As Zhang Chen spoke, he fell asleep.

He had drunk quite a bit just now.
Zhang Chen had never been able to hold his liquor well.
It was perfectly normal for him to get drunk.
At that moment, his sister-in-law Su Zhenzhen arrived with several servants. Seeing Zhang Chen in this state, she did not blame him. Instead, her eyes were filled with concern.
Ӗn̂u m а̃._іď
"Second Brother, don't blame your sister-in-law for speaking too much. Your elder brother carries too many things in his heart and bears too much responsibility. The fact that you came back this time genuinely made him happy. I haven't seen him this happy in a very long time..."
Su Zhenzhen waved her hand, and the servants carefully supported their son-in-law and brought him back to his room.
Zhang Su was not drunk.
Before returning, he had still felt somewhat uneasy.

He had not known what would happen when he saw his elder brother again.
But now, his heart felt incomparably peaceful.

After returning to his room, Zhang Su took out his Blood-Replenishing Pills.
No matter where he was, cultivation could not stop.
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, Zhang Su woke up.
In truth, he had not slept at all.
After cultivating for the entire night, he remained full of energy without the slightest trace of fatigue.

He sensed the qi and blood within his body.
"One hundred and sixty-eight wisps of qi and blood..."
He was drawing closer and closer to two hundred wisps.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Second Young Master, it's time for breakfast."
Zhang Su opened the door and saw Uncle Guan standing outside.
Е ṅůmȧ
Thus, Zhang Su followed Uncle Guan to the dining hall.
His elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister were basically all there.

His elder brother also looked full of energy.
The family finished breakfast together in a warm and cheerful atmosphere, then got up to welcome the honored guests.
Today was Hutou's one-month celebration banquet.
The Su Family had invited many distinguished guests. As the person managing the First Branch, Zhang Chen naturally had to go early to receive them.
Ẇе b̂ n̈ о̃ v̊ еl Е ń_u ḿ.а
"Right, I actually forgot to tell Elder Brother about the Zhenyuan Escort Agency yesterday..."
It was not really that Zhang Su had forgotten.
Rather, his elder brother had been far too enthusiastic yesterday.
He had pulled Zhang Su into a seemingly endless conversation, leaving Zhang Su no opportunity to mention the matter with the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

However, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency should return today.
By then, his elder brother would naturally find out, so there was no need to rush.
Еn̊ǔmа̊. і̇ ḋ
Before long, guests began arriving at the Su Family residence one after another.
Zhang Su sat some distance away.
His identity was somewhat special.
He should technically be considered a guest.
Therefore, he naturally did not need to help receive anyone.
The guests were also divided into several categories.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Ordinary guests were naturally received by other members of the Su Family.
Only particularly distinguished guests were personally received by Zhang Chen.
This also showed that Zhang Chen's status within the Su Family truly was that of the person in charge.
There was no exaggeration in saying so.
"Other than the problem with the Third Branch, Elder Brother's situation in the Su Family really is quite good..."
The moment Zhang Su thought of the Third Branch, he saw its people arrive.
W̃еb ṅ о v̆е̊l̈_ Ē n̂ um̃ a
Su Qianhe had come.
Su Mulan followed behind him.

However, beside Su Mulan stood a tall, handsome young man.
There was a sharp aura about him.
His bearing was completely different from everyone around him.
He stood out from the crowd.
Еn̊uḿ ä
A martial artist!
The other man was a martial artist, and one with vigorous qi and blood who had broken through the limits of the human body!
He seemed to be deliberately releasing a trace of his qi and blood aura, which was why Zhang Su could sense that he had broken through the limits of the human body.
A martial artist like this would count as outstanding even among the Origin Returning Sect's outer disciples, let alone among this group of ordinary people. His presence naturally towered over everyone else.

He was like a bright moon in the middle of the night, impossible to overlook.
"Young Master, that's Jiang Cheng, the one engaged to the Second Young Miss of the Third Branch!"
Ěnúmȧ
Uncle Guan seemed to notice Zhang Su's gaze and spoke quietly.
"The prized genius of the Jiang martial arts family..."
Zhang Su nodded.
Since arriving in the prefectural city, he had heard the name "Jiang Cheng" more than once.
Su Mulan and the others walked inside.
When Su Mulan saw Zhang Su, her expression changed slightly.

However, perhaps yesterday's lesson had been too deeply etched into her mind. Even with Jiang Cheng beside her, Su Mulan did not dare act too recklessly.
She merely said softly to Jiang Cheng, "Brother Cheng, this is Zhang Chen's younger brother. He's been in the Origin Returning Sect for a year, and his martial arts aren't weak. Even Uncle Qiao said he shouldn't be underestimated."
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
An outer disciple of the Origin Returning Sect?
It was not as though he had never met one before.
Most outer disciples of the Origin Returning Sect were nothing special.
Ẁē b̃n̊ó v e ľ Еń ũ_mа̀
They could not even break through the limits of the human body.
Jiang Cheng came from a martial arts family, so he naturally understood very clearly that only martial artists who broke through the limits of the human body could truly be considered geniuses.

Although he had never joined any sect, he had already broken through the limits of the human body. He possessed more than one hundred and fifty wisps of qi and blood, making him an unquestionable genius!
How strong could an outer disciple who had only spent one year in the Origin Returning Sect possibly be?
As for the Su Family guard Fang Qiao, he had merely spent a few more years wandering the martial world.
He was not worth mentioning.

Su Mulan came from a merchant family. How could she possibly understand the differences between martial artists?
The words "martial arts family" represented something far beyond what ordinary martial artists of the martial world could compare with.
"You are Zhang Su?"
Jiang Cheng looked directly at Zhang Su and asked.

"That's right. And you're Jiang Cheng?"
"I am. Lanlan told me that yesterday, you cut off a lock of her hair with one sword strike?"
Е ǹům̆а̂ .і d
"That happened. What, do you want revenge?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said calmly, "The internal affairs of their Su Family are not something outsiders like us should interfere in. However, since we are both martial artists and are around the same age, then we can interact in the manner of martial artists."
"I have a sword strike that has never met an equal in Clear Spring Prefecture. You're a disciple of a great sect, so your swordsmanship must be impressive. Do you dare receive one strike from me?"
The moment he said this, the surroundings fell silent.
At this point, many people's gazes landed on Zhang Su and Jiang Cheng.
They naturally knew Jiang Cheng.

The prized genius of the Jiang Family.
He was said to possess exceptional talent in the martial path.
His name was famous throughout Clear Spring Prefecture.
As for Zhang Su standing opposite him, many people had never even seen him before.
Only after asking around did they learn that he was Zhang Chen's younger brother.
Supposedly, he had spent one year in the Origin Returning Sect.
Е̌ n̄ u m̂а̌ . і̃ d
"It looks like the conflict between the First Branch and Third Branch can no longer be hidden."
"Zhang Su may be a disciple of a great sect, but he's only been in the Origin Returning Sect for one year. Besides, I heard he only got into the Origin Returning Sect because the Su Family spent silver to buy him a spot. How could he possibly compare to Jiang Cheng?"

"Today is supposed to be a joyous occasion for the Su Family's First Branch, yet the Third Branch brought someone from the Jiang Family here to make trouble. They've completely torn off all pretenses..."
Those who had been invited to the Su Family were all people with a certain degree of reputation and status in Clear Spring Prefecture.
Naturally, they knew something about the Su Family's circumstances.
One look was enough to tell that this was an internal Su Family conflict.
Énŭ m̆а̄. і̄d
If things went badly, today's banquet hosted by the First Branch might turn into a complete joke.
At that moment, Su Zhenzhen and Zhang Chen also walked over.
Su Zhenzhen shouted angrily, "Su Mulan, what are you trying to do?"
Su Mulan said indifferently, "Brother Cheng merely wants to exchange pointers in martial arts with Zhang Su. That's a matter between martial artists. What could I possibly be trying to do?"

Su Zhenzhen frowned.
Jiang Cheng?
Е̂ n ǔ ṁ ӓ
She had also heard of Jiang Cheng's reputation.
He was very famous among the martial artists of Clear Spring Prefecture.
He was an unquestionable martial arts genius.
And now such a genius had specifically named Zhang Su and challenged him to exchange pointers?
Clearly, this was the Third Branch making its move!
"Second Brother, you are a guest of my Su Family. My Su Family will naturally ensure your safety."

Su Zhenzhen then said coldly, "Jiang Cheng, today is the joyous one-month celebration of my son. It is not suitable to draw weapons..."
However, Jiang Cheng did not even glance at Su Zhenzhen.
His gaze remained fixed on Zhang Su.
Clearly, his meaning was very simple.
This was a matter between martial artists and had nothing to do with anyone else.
He only needed Zhang Su to nod.

"What, you don't dare?"
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Second Brother, don't act impulsively..."
Zhang Chen also came to Zhang Su's side and reached out to pull him away.
Suddenly, Zhang Su raised his head.
"I've been considering one question this entire time. When my sword leaves its sheath, it draws blood! Can you bear the consequences?"
Е n̊ú m а̃
The moment these words were spoken, Jiang Cheng's expression instantly changed.
