C18 The Su Family

Hengtian jumped out of the car and looked around. There were a lot of people and merchants entering and exiting the city. He looked up and saw an ancient city that was more than twenty meters tall. It stood in front of him, like a battlefield that had been through hundreds of battles.

Suddenly, Hengtian felt a deep and vigorous aura rushing towards him, but this feeling disappeared in a flash. Hengtian was secretly shocked.

On the broad vermillion city gate, there were three big words engraved with wind blowing, which were simple and strong like reliefs: Mist City!

Withdrawing their eyes, Su Gui and Su Mei'er got off the car one after another and walked to Hengtian's side. Su Gui said with a smile on his face, "Hengtian, this is the Mist City. Let's go in."

"Yes!" Hengtian nodded slightly and slowly followed Su Gui and the others into the city.

Mist City...

In a family mansion, there were eight middle-aged men sitting in the spacious hall. They seemed to be discussing something.

On the main seat of the hall sat a middle-aged man in a black robe who was about forty years old. He had a black beard and a grey face, which seemed as if it was carved by a blade. His eyebrows were raised and his eyes were as sharp as a dagger. No one dared to look him in the eye.

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up with a smile on his face. He cupped his fists towards the crowd below and said, "Thank you, brothers, for helping my Su Tianhao's Mist Gathering. Here, I would like to thank all of you."

With that, everyone in the hall stood up and returned the salute.

"The Su family's head is too polite."

"You're being too polite. Our families are long-time friends."

"Not at all. This is our duty, but you're being too polite."

...""

After a round of greetings, the middle-aged man who called himself Su Tianhao sat down and everyone followed suit as well. Su Tianhao raised his hand and said leisurely: "I wonder what do you all think of the Mist Gathering this time?"

After saying that, everyone looked at each other. After a moment of silence, they saw a middle-aged man with black and white beard standing up from the middle left of the hall. He looked at Su Tianhao and said, "I heard that the brat from the Zhao family, Zhao Kang, is on good terms with the last disciple of the Three Absolutes Ancestor, Ren Zhongming. A few days ago, my Yuan family received news that the Zhao family has invited him to help them in the Mist Gathering. I just don't know if it's true or not."

"Well, I also just received the news. According to my investigation, the reason why the brat from the Zhao family went out this time was to invite Ren Zhongming to participate in the Mist Gathering this time."

"There's going to be a bit of trouble now. I heard that the Three Absolutes Ancestor is not only narrow-minded but also extremely protective of others. Oh right, I wonder which young hero is invited by the Su family to participate in this convention?" On the seat on the left of Su Tianhao, a middle-aged man with a skinny figure said.

Hearing that, everyone nodded their heads and looked at Su Tianhao with anticipation.

"This... My son, Su Gui, had already gone to the Red Leaf Valley to invite Red Leaf Young Master a month ago. I wonder..."

Just as he was speaking, everyone suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps from outside. They couldn't help but look outside and saw a grey-robed old man walking towards the hall with a happy expression on his face.

As soon as the old man entered the hall, Su Tianhao, who was sitting in the hall, hurriedly stood up and walked down the hall to welcome him. The expressions of the people sitting in the hall changed, and they immediately stood up and looked at the old man in gray with respect.

"Uncle Chang, what are you doing here?" Su Tianhao walked up to the old man and asked in a friendly manner.

The old man nodded his head lightly and was not in a hurry to reply to Su Tianhao. He took a few steps to the crowd behind Su Tianhao and cupped his fists with a smile on his face: Thank you." Hehe, thank you all for your hard work for the Su family. I'll have to thank all of you first."

When these words came out, everyone seemed to be overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and didn't dare to say anything.

After that, everyone saw that the old man was looking around anxiously as if he was looking for something.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Su Tianhao could not help but frown and asked: "Uncle Chang, what are you ..."

The old man looked at Su Tianhao and asked anxiously, "Tianhao, why isn't Xiao'er here?"

"Uncle Chang, have you forgotten that Hong Ye went to the Red Leaf Valley to invite Young Master Hong Ye a month ago? He's still not back yet."

"I know that, but just now, Hou brat came to find me, old man. I remember that Hou brat went with Niao and Mei'er, I think Niao and Mei'er came back as well."

Hearing that, Su Tianhao's eyes instantly lit up and said anxiously, "They're back. I wonder why Uncle Chang is looking for them in such a hurry?"

The old man instantly revealed a bright smile when he heard Su Tianhao's question. He chuckled a few times and said while stroking his beard: "So Xiao'er hasn't gone anywhere yet. That means you guys don't know about this yet."

"What is it?" Not only Su Tianhao, but everyone else also looked at the old man curiously.

"Just now, when Hou brat came to find me, he said that Xun Er didn't invite Hong Ye, and that I couldn't help but feel pity for her. Unexpectedly, Hou brat said that Xun Er and the others met the brat from the Zhao family on their way back, and they even invited the disciple of the Three Absolutes..."

"What? They bumped into someone from the Zhao family? And..." Su Tianhao could not help but exclaim.

The old man was displeased when he saw Su Tianhao interrupted him. When Su Tianhao looked at the old man, he realized that something was wrong and immediately shut his mouth.

The old man glared at Su Tianhao and shook his head helplessly. Then, he continued, "Although they almost got into a fight when they met the people from the Zhao family, at the same time they met the people from the Zhao family, they made friends with a young man. Hou brat told me what the young man called the disciple of the Three Absolutes... Oh, right, Ren Zhongming, cripple one of Ren Zhongming's arms..."

"What!?"

Everyone could not help but exclaim, including Su Tianhao, looking at the old man in shock. They were so shocked that they couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, the old man pretended to be angry. He lowered his voice and shouted, "What? You don't believe me, old man? You guys ..."

Before the old man finished his words, he heard an urgent shout from outside the hall.

"Father, Father ..."

Everyone couldn't help but turn around to look, only to see a handsome young man dressed in white running towards the hall. Who else could it be but Su Gui?

"You're finally back! Quick, come over and tell your uncles and your father about what happened to Ren Zhongming?" Su Tianhao hurriedly took a few steps forward, tightly grabbed Su Gui's arm, and pulled him in front of everyone as he said with a face full of joy.

"Hmm? Father, you have received the news so quickly. I was about to give you a surprise, but it seems useless." Su Gui pretended to be disappointed.

Su Gui then bowed to everyone present and said, "Grandpa Chang is here too. By the way, all uncles, please sit down and let me slowly explain the situation."

Instantly, everyone nodded their heads to themselves and returned to their seats. When they raised their heads to look at Su Gui, their eyes couldn't help but reveal traces of admiration.

Su Gui said slowly, "If you want to talk about Hengtian, you have to start with me and Mei'er going to the Red Leaf Valley... After that, we came back together. That was the gist of the whole thing. "

After he said that, Su Gui let out a light breath, and glanced at everyone. He saw that everyone had complicated and shocked expressions, including the old man surnamed Chang. He couldn't help but feel delighted in his heart.

"A single finger has crippled one of the Three Absolutes Ancestor's most prized disciple's arm, and that speed of his movement technique. Such power and courage is truly ..."

After the people present heard what Su Gui had said about Hengtian, they either sighed or muttered to themselves, unable to believe what they had just heard.

"Huh? Right, Young Master, you said that Young Hero Hengtian came back with you. I don't know where he is now, but I would like to pay him a visit."

"That's right, Nephew. Elder Yuan is right. Such a young hero is really ..."

"Uncles, don't worry. At this moment, Hengtian is accompanied by Mei'er in the backyard. Your nephew will go and invite him to meet with you now. Coincidentally, he also seems to have something he wants to ask all of you."

"Oh?"

After he finished speaking, Su Gui ignored everyone's shocked expressions, turned around and ran out of the hall after saying that to Su Tianhao and the old man surnamed Chang.

"Hehe, you guys continue chatting. I'll go look for that young man first."

With that, the old man turned around and walked out of the hall.

When he saw Su Gui and the old man with the surname Chang left, the middle-aged man with the surname Yuan looked at Su Tianhao and said hesitantly: "I wonder what Brother Su thinks about this matter. Could this person be..."

"Yes, I agree too. However, we can only be sure if this man is the real one. That might be the reason why Uncle Chang went there first. However, since this man dared to fight with my friend and even broke one of his arms, and he is so powerful, I am afraid..."

"If it really is them..." The lean middle-aged man's face immediately turned gloomy, and his tone was filled with a deep killing intent, which was even more intimidating.

"Brother Xu..." Su Tianhao frowned and looked at the skinny middle-aged man as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Please rest assured, although I, Xu Hongkang, am a rough person, I also know that injustice has its perpetrator. Before confirming its true identity, I will not be impulsive and randomly hurt people, so you can rest assured."

"Haha, since Brother Xu has said so, I am not at ease."

Although he said those words, the young man was invited by his son after all. Furthermore, his cultivation was so high. If there was any misunderstanding, then it would be...

After about half a cup of tea's time, everyone in the lobby heard footsteps and couldn't help but look outside the lobby. They saw Su Gui walking in with a happy expression, followed by a young man who walked into the lobby together.

Everyone focused their gazes and saw that the young man was dressed in gray, and his clothes were quite ordinary, causing everyone to be surprised.

The young man had a pretty face. His eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars. He was full of energy and his eyes were like the moon hanging in the sky. There seemed to be a clear air in his eyes. He was neither servile nor overbearing. He walked into the lobby. As he got closer and closer, the crowd felt a strange aura from him that made them feel close to him.

"This junior, Hengtian, greets all the seniors. This time, this junior has come to ask for guidance on one thing. I hope..."

Just as Hengtian was speaking, a low voice interrupted him.

"Wait!"
