nter of the world. Consequently, believing that everything he pursued in cultivation would certainly succeed, his radical actions left him with profound and lasting consequences.And at that moment, he...Chapter 347 Alternative Reunion 1
"Since the boss knows about this, let's proceed with this plan. Disable the martial arts of the Jia Family’s patriarch and leave the rest to South Palace Su Xin to handle. The Jia Family will also be under your management. No need to show too much respect or take extreme actions."
However, others were not very satisfied with Xianyao's decision, especially the patriarch of the Jia Family. He could not accept that his future was being decided by someone else. Furthermore, he found it even harder to bear when everyone seemed to forget him after Xianyao appeared and left him out.
Although dealing with him wouldn't make things better, this situation also made him uncomfortable!
"What are you to me What right do you have to decide my fate!!"
"If you want to die, I can fulfill your wish. I don't want the boss to shoulder this blame, but it can be handled by others." Xianyao said indifferently, without any particular emotion, as if the matter was not worth mentioning.
"Grandfather, accept your fate. Xianyao's handling of things will only restore the Jia Family to its former state, which is already the best outcome."
Miss Senior frowned and wanted to leave early.
"How can I accept my fate My life is decided by me!! Not her, nor him!!" The patriarch of the Jia Family said coldly. Even at this moment when he realized there were hardly any people around him, he still maintained his dignity.
"Why are you suddenly enlightened now Isn't your life predestined by heaven" Xianyao looked at the patriarch of the Jia Family without concealing his mockery.
"..." The patriarch remained silent.
"I cast a fortune-telling spell for you. Today, you will lose your martial arts skills, and the Jia Family will fall back to its original place. This is fate, and you should follow it by self-disabling your martial arts." Xianyao spoke in the manner of a shaman, then snatched the last spring roll from Miss Senior's hand.
"What are you doing! I haven't had enough..." Miss Senior immediately shouted and prepared to snatch it back.
“Mmm…” Xianyao quickly stuffed the spring roll into his mouth. "This piece of spring roll is fated to be mine!"
"..."
"Alright, I'll handle this here. You all go outside; let me deal with it!" South Palace Su Xin spoke at that moment, urging Xianyao and others to leave, especially Miss Senior.
Because the action she was about to take might not make Miss Senior very comfortable!
"Miss Senior, come on! South Palace Su Xin, thank you for your hard work this time!" Xianyao understood what South Palace Su Xin meant and pulled Miss Senior away immediately. Of course, Solitary Star would leave with him.
"You only know how to pamper them. You make me handle things like this..." South Palace Su Xin said angrily but didn't have any complaints since she was the best person for handling this situation.
She originally wanted to disable the martial arts of that Jia Family patriarch anyway, and if it weren’t for Miss Senior’s face earlier, she would’ve acted long ago. Now having an opportunity, why wouldn’t she seize it
However, there were consequences for this: She might be blamed by Miss Senior, and the people from the Jia Family would resent her since she had to deal with both the patriarch of the Jia Family and the Jia Family itself.
Of course, it wasn't a particularly difficult matter for her. She was already at odds with the Southern Palace family that opposed the Jia Family; therefore, this time when she took action, everything would go smoothly without anyone saying anything against it.
"You… don’t overdo it…" Miss Senior said one last thing before turning around and leaving without looking back. She trusted South Palace Su Xin to handle things properly. After all these years, she understood South Palace Su Xin's character and capabilities and knew her limits when handling matters.
She also believed that the best person for this situation was South Palace Su Xin. Moreover, she knew that out of respect for her, South Palace Su Xin wouldn’t go too far with the Jia Family; as long as she didn't overdo it, Miss Senior wouldn't mind either.
Ever since that day when the Jia Family attempted to ambush and kill Xianyao, she had anticipated such a day. She just hadn't expected it would come so quickly.
"What do you mean What are your intentions…" The patriarch of the Jia Family looked at Xianyao and others leaving, realizing that those people didn’t want to deal with him anymore since they no longer needed to.
What he might find even harder to accept is the sense that Xiao Yao and the others completely disregarded him. Throughout their encounters, Xiao Yao never gave him a proper look. Even Gu Xing, who had previously wanted to kill him, didn’t seem to care about his existence after the change in circumstances.
From start to finish, he was just an insignificant person whom they did not care about. This hit his pride hard and might have been more severe than any previous blows.
"Alright, it's time for some accounting. Master of the House, I'm giving you a dignified choice: You can cripple yourself completely! Otherwise, I will do it myself!" Nangong Suxin coldly said to the head of the Mo Family as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
"The rest of the participants in that incident must also cripple themselves. Don't think you'll get away with it; the list from that day has been in my hands all along. Those who have already left will be dealt with accordingly, and you should feel lucky."
At this moment, Nangong Suxin said something shocking to the Mo Family members. They thought the matter was over but didn't realize others were still watching them and wouldn’t let any of them off.
What they couldn't have imagined was that while Nangong Suxin had been restrained in her actions, she had secretly prepared everything.
"Why Why are you doing this" The head of the Mo Family didn't understand. Could a mere servant make someone like her act so strongly
"At this point, do you still ask why Do you think that with Mo Yu's support, you can get away with anything Forget about Mo Yu not supporting you— even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to help you bear the consequences!" Nangong Suxin said coldly.
"Let me make this clear for your sake. As Mo Yu’s grandfather, first and foremost, a family's advancement is based on its foundation and step-by-step progress rather than relying solely on an outstanding genius. You might know this but failed to restrain your kin; they were too arrogant."
“Secondly, you misunderstood what Xiao Yao possesses. A minor prince of the Tang Empire is merely a title he doesn’t particularly care about. If news of you targeting him spreads, it wouldn't be the Tang Empire that would act first but a dark organization which would annihilate your family without hesitation. The Mo Family wouldn't just regress to its starting point but be completely wiped out."
"What kind of organization" The head of the Mo Family wanted to say Nangong Suxin was joking, but did she have any reason to joke about this
“You don’t need to know! Lastly, you underestimate Gu Xing too much and are unaware of her capabilities. Gu Xing is also pitiful; if she hadn't encountered Xiao Yao, she would be ruined by your actions for life. I'm displeased with this but lucky for you, you're their grandfather. So, I don’t want to harm you personally, do it yourself!” Nangong Suxin still gave the head of the Mo Family a chance to handle things himself, though whether he accepted it was another matter.
"No, I won't cripple myself. I..." The head of the Mo Family shook his head firmly and refused to accept this proposal. Before he could finish speaking, he found Nangong Suxin in front of him, lifting him up, then feeling a scorching flame burning through his entire body.
Soon, he realized all his true energy had dissipated, and even his dantian was shattered!
At this moment, the head of the Mo Family knew that in front of these imperial-level martial artists, resistance was futile. Gu Xing showed him this, as did Nangong Suxin.
"What are you doing Let my father go!" The Elder of the Mo Family shouted and rushed towards Nangong Suxin.
"Uncle, watch from the side; injuring yourself wouldn't be good for anyone!" Nangong Suxin threw the weakened head of the Mo Family to the elder and reminded him with respect since he was the father of the eldest Miss.
Originally, this elder hadn’t participated in that ambush due to his disapproval of the head's actions. As such, he had been pushed out of the power core.
Meanwhile, some people suddenly appeared after Nangong Suxin took action; these were individuals none had noticed before. They were all personal guards and bodyguards of Nangong Suxin, along with those belonging to the eldest Miss and Third Miss. With more hands on deck, things became easier.
These personal guards were also formidable military experts capable of easily handling a small family like the Mo Family even if only ten or so were present; forty or fifty people had been mobilized this time.
Originally, these reinforcements came to support the eldest Miss against powerful enemies. Unexpectedly, the strong enemy turned out to be Gu Xing, and they found themselves shifting from a supportive role to that of destruction.
However, it didn't bother them since while they didn’t intend to avenge Xiao Yao, they could feel the eldest Miss's frustration and Nangong Suxin’s anger. Therefore, they wanted to vent their frustrations through action too.
"Uncle, I have nothing more to do here; let me take my leave now. I need to chat privately with a small servant," Nangong Suxin smiled politely before taking her leave and leaving behind injured figures.
The Mo Family was left in decline after this incident, though they wouldn’t fall completely due to the eldest Miss's existence. The family could still live peacefully for decades under her protection; their future rise would depend on their descendants' efforts.
After leaving, Nangong Suxin went chasing after Xiao Yao and the others while those personal guards disappeared once they completed their mission, as if they had never appeared at all.
This was why the Mo Family had no further thoughts. With such a group of unknown individuals who could annihilate them anytime, what else could they possibly thinknt, using his own mouth to break codes with other people's hands."But troubles will be looming for逍遙after this!" Southern Palace Miss Soo said with a worried shake of her head.What kind of trouble" Th...
