C15 Then I'll Kill You First.

In the grand reception hall of the Yun Family estate, a group stood at its center, with two individuals carrying a stretcher between them. Resting upon it was a young man, his legs unable to touch, wrapped in several layers of gauze, his complexion ghostly pale.

"What's happening here? Why have the Lin Family arrived?"

"That must be Lin Hee, the Lin Family's second young master on the stretcher, right? What happened to him?"

"I heard he was messed up by that trash at the Cloud Vast Treasure Pavilion just yesterday!"

"Trash? Are you talking about Su Yun?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Looks like the Lin Family has come to seek retribution!"

The Yun Family members crowded around the hall, whispering and speculating about the scene unfolding before them.

"Good! It's about time that scum faced justice! He defiled Miss Liyao and left Yun Feng so badly injured he can't even get out of bed. He deserves a harsh reckoning!"

A young man in black spoke with venom in his voice.

Suddenly, he noticed the room had gone silent, and all eyes were fixed on him.

He furrowed his brow, "What are you staring at? Don't tell me you think I'm wrong!"

"You're absolutely right," came a calm voice from behind him. "Justice must be served..."

The words sent a shiver down the spine of the young man in black.

"But that's not for you to worry about."

The cool statement was followed by a chilling breeze that seemed to sweep past him.

"Master Su Yun has arrived!"

Simultaneously, a voice announced his presence.

The young man in black felt a wave of cold sweat drench his back, his legs trembling beneath him.

All eyes in the hall shifted focus, but not to him. They were now on Su Yun, who had just entered the room.

"Kill him! Kill him now!!" Lin Hee, lying pale and filled with venomous hate on the stretcher, screamed wildly at the sight of Su Yun. His eyes blazed with loathing and bitterness.

He was seething with hatred!

The kick Su Yun had delivered yesterday was diagnosed to have shattered his manhood, rendering it useless forever. His legs were also compromised, leaving him with a severe disability that forced him to lie with his legs splayed out indefinitely.

The thought of his disability and the permanent loss of his sexual function filled him with a rage beyond measure!

Seeing Su Yun now, how could he contain his madness?

Standing next to the stretcher, a middle-aged man dressed in opulent attire gave Su Yun a frosty glance. Then, turning towards the front of the hall, he addressed the Yun family's Old Family Head, who was seated in the place of honor, "The person in question has arrived. Shall we proceed with the confrontation?"

The Old Family Head cast a warm, kindly look at Su Yun. "Young man, was this your doing?"

Su Yun had already grasped the Old Family Head's intentions upon seeing Lin Hee and the others.

"Yes, it was me."

He responded calmly to the Old Family Head's question.

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man in the luxurious robe scoffed upon hearing the admission, "The Yun family must provide the Lin family with a satisfactory explanation for this incident, or we will not rest until justice is served!"

The Old Family Head of the Yun family gave him a nonchalant look. "And what would satisfy you?"

"Firstly!"

The man raised a finger, beginning to list his demands, "The Yun family must compensate the Lin family with a prime-location restaurant, two storefronts, and five thousand Spirit Stones..."

"That's out of the question!"

Yun Yan and Yun Linguang, seated on either side of the Yun family's Old Family Head, cut him off in unison before he could finish.

However, the Old Family Head gestured for the man to continue, "Go on..."

"Secondly!"

He pointed directly at Su Yun, his tone icy, "Hand this young man over to the Lin family for punishment!"

"Impossible!"

The words had barely left his lips when a stern voice rang out in protest—it was Yun Yan.

Su Yun glanced at his father-in-law, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

The middle-aged man paid no heed to Yun Yan, his gaze returning to the Old Family Head of the Yun family.

The Old Family Head of the Yun family remained silent, abruptly rising from his seat.

The middle-aged man in fine attire paused in surprise.

He watched as the Old Family Head approached Su Yun at the front of the hall and asked with a smile, "Young one, what's your take on handling this situation?"

Su Yun was taken aback to be consulted but responded, "I believe I should handle it myself."

"Haha, well said!"

The Old Family Head of the Yun family burst into laughter and declared, "Let's proceed with your decision, then!"

With that, he strode out of the hall without a backward glance.

"Old Family Head Yun, what is the meaning of this!?" the middle-aged man demanded, raising his voice.

"Show them out!"

The Old Family Head of the Yun family continued on his way, gesturing dismissively as he exited the hall.

The Yun family members present were momentarily dumbfounded, yet they grasped the Old Family Head's final directive.

"This way, please!"

Yun Yan rose to his feet, ushering the middle-aged man and his party towards the exit.

"A memorable encounter with the Yun family! Lin Zongshan will not forget this!"

The middle-aged man's face turned livid with rage as he bellowed and stormed off.

But Lin Hee, lying on the stretcher, was not ready to leave things as they were. He shouted in fury, "Father! We haven't killed this scoundrel yet. How can we just leave!?"

The middle-aged man's face twisted with displeasure, about to retort.

Whoosh!

But what happened next made his face contort in shock.

In a blur, Su Yun appeared before the stretcher, seizing Lin Hee by the neck and hoisting him up.

"Stop this at once!"

The middle-aged man in opulent garb bellowed, a mix of surprise and rage in his voice.

Su Yun, however, paid him no heed, gazing at Lin Hee's flailing form and spoke calmly, "So eager to kill me? I suppose I'll have to take care of you first."

"You wouldn't dare!"

The middle-aged man's face twisted in anger at the sight.

Ignoring him, Su Yun tightened her grip, crushing Lin Hee's throat in one swift motion.

"Ugh—"

Lin Hee's eyes bulged in disbelief, never imagining Su Yun would dare to end his life in such a manner.

The abrupt turn of events left everyone at the scene momentarily frozen in shock.

It wasn't until Su Yun nonchalantly dropped Lin Hee's body to the ground with a thud that the crowd snapped to their senses.

"Oh my God!!"

The members of the Yun family all stood with their mouths agape, staring at Su Yun in utter disbelief.

He had killed him!

He had actually just killed Lin Hee!

"You little rat, I'll make you pay with your life—!"

A hysterical roar echoed through the area.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a luxurious robe, erupted with the power of the Soul Controlling Stage and charged at Su Yun in a blind rage.

Su Yun's palm crackled with yellow lightning, ready to strike back.

But before he could, a figure stepped in front of him, intercepting the enraged man and sending him reeling with a single blow.

"Lin Zongshan, do you think you can attack my son-in-law in the Yun family's home and disrespect all of us?" Yun Yan stood protectively in front of Su Yun, his hands clasped behind his back, his voice cool and measured.

"Yun Yan!!"

Lin Zongshan's face contorted with rage at the sight of him. Yet, as the presence of the Yun family elders bore down on him, his anger was tempered by a forced calm.

"Very well, Yun family! I, Lin Zongshan, have taken note! This affront will not be forgotten by the Lin family!"

With a venomous glare, Lin Zongshan barked, "We're leaving!"

He spun on his heel and stormed off.

The other Lin family members quickly scooped up Lin Hee's body and scurried after him.

"Su Yun, you've acted too rashly!"

Yun Yan waited until they had departed before turning to address Su Yun.

Su Yun's sudden attack on Lin He had caught him completely off guard. Yet, he had intervened without hesitation. As Su Yun's father-in-law, he couldn't stand by and watch him be harmed.

Though Lin Zongshan, the Great Elder of the Lin family, had departed, the incident's repercussions were significant.

The Great Elder had come seeking retribution, and instead of dismissing him, the Yun family had slain the Lin family's second young master on the spot.

The feud had deepened.

The Yun and Lin families were long-standing rivals, but until now, they had stopped short of an all-out war.

After this incident, things will undoubtedly change!

"Such reckless behavior will lead to disaster sooner or later!"

Yun Linguang interjected coldly from the side.

"Some people should mind their own business; otherwise, one day they might not return from an outing!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun cast a dismissive glance at him, his eyes as indifferent as if he were looking at a corpse.

Yun Linguang's face fell, but he didn't make a scene right then and there.

Instead, he snorted and stalked off.

At that moment, he was riddled with doubts about Su Yun.

His men had been out since yesterday and still hadn't returned, yet Su Yun was here, unscathed.

This certainly suggested something!

And it was precisely this that troubled him. The men he had sent were his own carefully trained elites, capable of assassinating anyone at the Soul Controlling Stage. Yet they had failed to kill Su Yun...

He was beginning to question what he really knew about Su Yun's capabilities!

"You've been quite the rising star lately, kid!"

Watching Yun Linguang leave in a huff, Yun Yan chuckled and then cautioned, "However, you do need to be more cautious moving forward. You killed Lin Hee in public, and the Lin family won't let that slide. It's best if you stay within the estate for a while."

"Understood."

Su Yun nodded, acknowledging the gravity in his father-in-law's tone.

He felt a warmth from the concern laced in his words.
