Chapter 80: He Has the Final Say
When Mo Xiu first entered the Su Mansion, he found a piece of star meteorite iron in the Su Mansion's refining workshop, so he went to the Su Mansion's refining workshop to refine the Abyss Demon Sword.
At that time, there was an old man in the refining workshop. It seemed that he was a refining master specially invited by the Su Family, but at that time, Mo Xiu felt something was wrong.
First of all, the Su Family was not a refining family. Even the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce where the Su Family was located grew up by medicine, not on weapons. Therefore, there was something wrong with such a refining workshop in Su Mansion.
Secondly, the old man's refining level was really unflattering, and the Su Family had no reason to ask a waste refining master to work in the mansion.
In the end, the people in Su Mansion seemed respectful to the old man.
All sorts of clues showed that the old man's identity was not simple, and Mo Xiu was eight out of ten points sure that he belonged to the Su Family.
After living in Su Mansion for a few days, Mo Xiu also knew the identity of the old man – Su Yunyang, the former Patriarch of the Su Family, was also the elder of the Su Family at the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce Elder Council.
But even after knowing this, Mo Xiu didn't expose Su Yunyang's identity either, after all, he did not deliberately conceal it.
Su Yunyang did not send anyone to search for Mo Xiu, nor did anyone find out the identity of Mo Xiu. Therefore, since then, Mo Xiu had known Su Yunyang's identity, but Su Yunyang did not know Mo Xiu's identity, and the two of them have never seen each other officially after that.
Until this time, Su Yunyang was invited over, and it was the second time the two met.
At that time, Su Yunyang hadn't spoken out about what happened in the refining workshop, and Mo Xiu was not a talker. No one knew the situation at the time except the person involved.
Therefore, seeing Su Yunyang's reaction at this time, Su Xuan was stunned, and quickly said, "It's him! This person tried to intervene in the internal affairs of our Su Family, and didn't regard himself as a guest elder of the Su Family at all..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Su Yunyang say, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Huh…"
Everyone was a little surprised at once.
Su Xu wondered if he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but said, "Father, are you confused?"
"You are the one who's confused!"
Su Yunyang got up and patted Su Xuan's head severely, "Master Wuji is not a guest elder of the Su Family."
"Master Wuji?" everyone couldn't help but wonder.
Su Yunyang: "He is the master of the Su Family!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Su Yunyang to say such a thing and even wondered if Su Yunyang's brain was really old and decayed like his age.
Mo Xiu shook his head, "Even if you say that, I won't teach you how to refine tools."
"No need," Su Yunyang chuckled, "it was originally the content of the bet, this old man just told the truth."
"Father, what are you talking about? What bet are you talking about?" Su Xuan was puzzled.
"At the beginning, I competed with him about refining tools and bet with him that if he beats me, the Su Family will surrender to him," Su Yunyang explained.
In fact, Su Yunyang didn't intend to fulfill the gambling agreement at the beginning. After all, Mo Xiu added the gambling agreement without authorization, and he had never agreed to it.
And at that time, he didn't know the identity of Mo Xiu. In that case, how could it really make the Su Family surrender to Mo Xiu?
Now, it was different. He already knew Mo Xiu's identity, knowing that Mo Xiu was Elder Wuji of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, or someone Su Qianqian liked, so it didn't matter if Mo Xiu was the master of Su Family.
Rather, this was the result he wanted, because, in this way, his relationship with Mo Xiu would be drawn closer, and perhaps he could learn some refining skills from Mo Xiu.
Except for Mo Xiu and Su Yunyang, everyone knew for the first time that there were such a competition and such a ridiculous gambling appointment. For a while, everyone was shocked silly.
They had heard of a prodigal, but they had never heard of such a prodigal. He actually bet the entire Su Family with Mo Xiu in a competition.
Su Yunyang was famous for being a very shrewd man. Which of these things went wrong, so he would agree to such a silly bet?
After a brief period of astonishment, Su Qianqian was the first to react, and said in surprise, "Grandfather, what do you mean is that from now on, the Su Family's affairs will have Young Master Wuji as the final say?"
Su Yunyang nodded, "Naturally, everything in the Su Family is up to him."
Su Xuan was dumbfounded.
Yan Qi, who was watching this farce, was also dumbfounded.
Before, Su Xuan was still awe-inspiring, saying that he was the Patriarch of the Su Family and had the right to drive Mo Xiu out of the Su Family. But when he turned around a bit, he found that Mo Xiu was the owner of the Su Family. Why was this so ironic?
Mo Xiu didn't take it seriously to become the master of the Su Family but silently looked at Yan Qi.
Feeling Mo Xiu's gaze, Yan Qi immediately realized something was wrong, even though he was still very unwilling in his heart, he just snorted and took the two entourages to get up and leave.
Only Mo Xiu, Su Yunyang, Su Xuan, and Su Qianqian remained in the lobby.
Su Xuan looked at Mo Xiu, then at Su Yunyang, and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not reconciled! Why should the Su Family surrender to Lin Wuji?"
Su Yunyang frowned, lowered his evaluation of Su Xuan a bit in his heart, and said coldly, "What is the use of you not reconciled? This family is no longer in your turn to call the shots."
Su Xuan took a deep breath, "Father, we can't offend His Royal Highness, or the Su Family will be finished sooner or later!"
Mo Xiu looked at Su Xuan and suddenly said, "You are afraid of Yan Wuji and Yan Qi, aren't you afraid of me?"
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, realizing that he seemed to have overlooked the most important point.
Yan Wuji and Yan Qi were terrible, he really couldn't afford to offend, but could Mo Xiu be something he could afford to offend too?
Mo Xiu destroyed the Blood Moon Pavilion and Mountain and River Medical Hall with his own power, and the strength of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was similar to the Mountain and River Medical Center. The Su Family was just a family under the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. If Mo Xiu was angry, Yan Wuji and Yan Qi did not need to move their hands, Mo Xiu would be the first person to make their Su Family disappear from this earth's surface.
Compared to Yan Wuji and Yan Qi, it seemed that Lin Wuji was the one who couldn't offend the most.
...
The poison in Su Xuan's body was finally solved by Mo Xiu, but Su Xuan was no longer suitable to be the Patriarch of the Su Family, so the position of Patriarch of the Su Family was temporarily handed over to Su Qianqian.
Of course, this was mainly what Su Yunyang meant, otherwise, it would be impossible for Su Qianqian to be the head of the Su Family.
After Su Xuan and Su Qianqian left the lobby, Su Yunyang walked over to Mo Xiu and said, "When can you and Qianqian get married?"
Mo Xiu was stunned and couldn't help but glanced at Su Yunyang.
"Qianqian likes you, and you are now the master of the Su Family. It is perfect for you to be married to her," Su Yunyang explained, "or, you don't like her? No matter what, she is also known as the number one beauty in the Yan Kingdom. I don't know how many people dream of her, so why don't you have no interest in her at all?"
Mo Xiu just listened without comment.
Su Yunyang said again, "Yan Qi didn't succeed this time. But maybe he won't let it go. Maybe he will be detrimental to Qianqian, but as long as you marry her, Yan Qi should not attack Qianqian again."
Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "With me, Su Qianqian will be fine. If Yan Qi really dares to mess around under my nose, I don't mind killing him."
Su Yunyang frowned, "I have confidence in your strength, but some people have no bottom line, they dare to use any conspiracy and tricks. People can't guard against them. If Qianqian really has any accidents, how can it be good?"
"Conspiracy?"
Mo Xiu was a bit disapproving, "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are a pipe of white smoke."
Su Yunyang sighed. Although he was still a little worried, he had already reached this point, so he couldn't doubt Mo Xiu's ability anymore.
...
East Prince Palace.
Yan Qi was very angry, and smashed a lot of things in a row, "Asshole! Who Lin Wuji thinks he is? He even dared not even look at this prince!"
The little court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting on the side shivered with fear.
When things were almost smashed, Yan Qi's anger disappeared a lot, and the only old eunuch beside him stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness calms down. That Lin Wuji doesn't know how high the sky is, why should you care about him?"
"Of course I don't want to care about him, but he just to did some bad things to this prince!" Yan Qi said with a cold snort.
After speaking, he looked at the old eunuch, "Old dog, you have always had a lot of tactics. Tell this prince, how can we bypass that Lin Wuji and successfully control the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce?"
The old eunuch was stunned, thinking and saying, "Your Highness, this old slave has something unclear."
"Say," Yan Qi spat out a word coldly.
"That Lin Wuji provoked His Majesty's authority over and over again, why is His Majesty indifferent so far? Is it possible..."
Before the old eunuch could finish speaking, Yan Qi interrupted, "It's not that he's not moving, it's just that the time has not come. Now, the father is busy dealing with other things, how could he have time to pay attention to such a beaming clown? But because of this, this prince has to take the opportunity to control the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, if Lin Wuji and the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce are wiped by my father, how can this prince make a profit from it?"
"Understood."
The old eunuch nodded and thought for a while before he said, "Your Highness, this matter is difficult and easy at the same time. In the final analysis, the key lies in Su Qianqian, as long as Your Highness can 'cook mature rice' with her, he won't do anything to you because he has to give Su Qianqian's face. On the contrary, he may be useful for Your Highness in the future."
As he said, he leaned over Yan Qi's ear and said the detailed plan again.
After Yan Qi heard this, his face became a little weird, "This prince is the current crown prince, how can you let this prince do that kind of thing?"
"Your Highness, those who make big things don't stick to the trivial," said the old eunuch, "besides, to put it in a bad way, the Emperor can win the throne today, isn't it because..."
The latter words were not said, but the meaning was already obvious.
Yan Qi lowered his head and thought, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair lightly. After a long time, he nodded gently, "I will leave this to you. Be sure to not let even a drop of water leak."
