Chapter 340 The Savior Arrives [Fifth Watch of the Night]
As soon as Ling Fan spoke, everyone was shocked and rendered speechless, because Ling Fan’s actions didn’t fit into the mindset everyone had anticipated.
"This guy, he’s actually ignoring his blood relationship with the Su Family and going after his own mother’s family?" some onlookers began muttering to themselves.
"Heh, you’re being naive. Someone like him likely doesn’t adhere strictly to traditional virtues. His sense of grievances is clear.
When the Su Family abandoned his mother back then, they didn’t show any familial love. Do you think, if you had the power, you would still bother with the Su Family?" another person shook his head slightly.
"Hmm, what you say is also true. Anyway, it’s easy to talk about, but not so easy to do. This young man being able to do it, he could be considered a hero!" the previous person nodded, their gaze fixed on Ling Fan.
"Good heavens, this guy is ruthless. In the Imperial Capital, he directly provoked two of the three major families!
Moreover, he’s still so calm and even has the energy to deal with the Su Family, settling some old scores. He’s ruthless, truly ruthless!" another person exclaimed with a sigh.
He Feichen and others sighed inwardly. This was Ling Fan’s family matter, and it wasn’t appropriate for them to get too involved. The Martial Arts World was much more ruthless than the Secular World, so they didn’t see anything wrong with Ling Fan’s actions.
Having the power to seek justice was only natural; lacking the strength would only lead to compromise.
Su Wenfu and his spouse finally snapped out of it, looking at the imposing and unrivaled Ling Fan with limitless gratification. They thought that Su Wei and Ling Han could rest peacefully in the netherworld.
Their eyes became a bit moist, overwhelmed with surprise, for Su Wei actually still had descendants living in this world!
The people of the Su Family, in their wildest dreams, would not have expected such a scene today and, after a moment of astonishment, began to feel mortified.
The first to hold a grudge was the Family Head Su Wenchang; he had endured enough humiliation for one day and even a clay figure has a temper.
Mainly, having discovered that Ling Fan was his nephew, he felt Ling Fan wouldn’t really harm him, which greatly mitigated his fear!
"Ling Fan, don’t you think you are being too arrogant? Enjoy new tales from NovelBin.Côm
True, the Su Family was at fault back then, but the real culprit is the Long Family. To put it bluntly, your mother was also to blame for her own misfortune. Who else could you fault?
Instead of seeking out the real enemies who killed your parents, you come yelling and threatening at your maternal grandfather’s house. Don’t you think it’s outrageous?" Su Wenchang sternly lectured.
Once someone started, naturally, a second would follow. Su Wenrui mustered the courage to speak, "Indeed, every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. You come to the Su Family demanding justice blindly; do you think that’s reasonable?"
"Ling Fan, if you truly have the ability, go and demand justice from the Long Family. We support you spiritually.
Just targeting your own kin makes it hard for anyone to respect you. Even if your martial arts are superior, I still don’t accept you!" Su Wenwu snorted lightly, still harboring resentment from being injured by Ling Fan earlier.
Su Wenfu and his spouse stood aside, silently watching the faces of several branches of the Su Family. They were used to it; people talk out of both sides of their mouths, deciding what’s black and white and right and wrong by their own terms. Ling Fan probably couldn’t out-talk them!
Su Qiong’s face turned red with anger. These people were also prominent, but how shamelessly they spoke.
Instead of feeling remorse for abandoning Su Wei all those years ago, they acted as though Ling Fan was creating trouble for no reason and that his aunt’s family had wronged them.
Should Ling Fan now be expected to be grateful to the entire Su Family, beg their forgiveness, repent for his parents burdening the Su Family, and then proceed to slaughter the Long Family to earn their merit?
What kind of twisted logic is that? Yet, such is human nature; when selfishness is magnified, no logic is too absurd!
In the crucial moment, it was still Su Wenfu and his spouse who stood by Ling Fan.
"Your words are a bit unreasonable, aren’t they? Don’t you bear any responsibility for what happened back then?
"If the Su Family had been united, truly determined to protect Su Wei, the outcome might not have been like this—it would have been just a downfall for the Su Family!" Su Wenfu spoke.
As soon as he finished this sentence, it immediately provoked fury, and faces of Su Wenchang and others swept over looking extremely displeased.
"This idiot third brother, always finds a place to chip in his words, it’s been twenty years, and he still speaks in favor of that wench Su Wei!" Su Ting’s face bore the look of doom as she silently cursed.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t hold back and spoke sarcastically, "Third brother, what do you mean by your words? What responsibility do we have?
You better not twist the truth; do you think that we should all die with her?
Why should the whole family suffer just because of the trouble one person, Su Wei, has invited?
Not helping is considered selfish, as if we’re just sitting by watching her die?
You also don’t see what she has stirred up—it’s the Long Family, are we, the Su Family, capable of opposing them?
Finding death should not be sought like this, speaking of selfishness, who is more selfish than Su Wei herself? The path is chosen by oneself, and the calluses on the feet are ground by oneself, to put it bluntly, she has brought it upon herself; she deserves it!"
Su Ting got increasingly fervent, pleased, and unstoppable as she spoke!
For some reason, every time she targeted Su Wei, she became particularly agitated, her words plentiful, practically unstoppable.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingguo’s expression slightly changed, although her reasoning sounded right, speaking it out was another matter entirely. Could Ling Fan be contented?
Sure enough, just as Su Ting’s voice fell, Ling Fan’s figure shifted, transforming into a fleeting shadow that disappeared on the spot.
"Slap!"
An unusually crisp and loud sound echoed through the hall, as Su Ting’s plump body spun like a top and flew out.
"Did she ever agree to my mother’s marital alliance with the Long Family?
The blood debt of my parents, you all selfish people had a hand in it, thinking you can just babble and talk your way out?
Back then, you were the one who kicked my mother when she was down the most, an ignorant fool!" Ling Fan snorted coldly.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
Thrown and rolling on the ground, Su Ting passed out instantly; the Su Family members shuddered, dead silent, as Leng Yan looked at her unconscious mother lying on the ground, utterly stunned.
"Stupid fool, killing her would be letting her off easy," He Feichen spat on Su Ting.
The members of the Su Family finally realized, this young man before them was not the powerless Ling Han they used to manipulate; this man truly wouldn’t tolerate their nonsense.
This world is just so, nothing solves problems better than fists; what negotiation experts can’t settle in days with their glib tongues, sometimes a single punch does the trick.
Just then, at the doorway suddenly appeared a commanding figure in military attire, striking and impressive!
Along with a voice following into the room, "Vermilion Bird has come to offer birthday congratulations!"
Upon hearing this, the Su Family members were all invigorated, especially Su Wenwu, who spun around fiercely, his heart wildly overjoyed, "Canglong and Vermilion Bird, our saviors have arrived!"
