The Su family is not only prestigious in Han City but is also one of the five prominent forces in the entire Northern Territory.
Today is naturally a big day for the Su family, because the Linghuo Sect, a very famous sect within the Northern Territory, is here to present a marriage proposal to the Su family.
This also tells everyone that from today onward, the Linghuo Sect and the Su family are in an alliance through marriage, and it sends a signal to everyone that the Linghuo Sect will strongly support the Su family in the future, as the woman from the Su family will become the Sect Master's Wife of the Linghuo Sect.
Meanwhile, the convoy from the Linghuo Sect finally came to a stop at the entrance of the Su family manor. At this moment, there were many people at the entrance of the Su family manor, and even Elder Su, who hardly makes an appearance, was there together with his son Su Hualin to welcome them.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not receive such high hospitality from the Su family, but if the visitor was Huo Wensong, it would be different.
Huo Wensong, being the only son of Huo Qinglong, the Sect Master of Linghuo Sect, and also the future heir of Linghuo Sect, essentially makes Huo Wensong the Crown Prince of the Linghuo Sect. Although Su Zhengyi is the Third Elder of Linghuo Sect with a prominent status, Linghuo Sect, despite being branched out from the Purple Fire Sect, operates like a dynasty where the lineage has always been Huo from the first generation to present.
Thus, even though Su Zhengyi may be esteemed as the Third Elder, he still lowers himself when facing Huo Wensong.
"Young Master Huo, what a journey it must have been!"
When Huo Wensong got down from the vehicle, Su Hualin quickly stepped forward, smiling and greeting Huo Wensong.
Although Huo Wensong is a playboy and a hedonistic spender, he is also someone who mingles in high society, capable of putting on any facade.
"Uncle Su, please, you're being too polite. You are my elder; you can simply call me Wensong." Huo Wensong smiled warmly, shaking Su Hualin's hand and speaking sincerely.
Su Hualin laughed heartily and said, "The son-in-law I've set my sights on certainly is outstanding."
"Shall we go inside then?" Su Zhengyi asked with a cheerful smile.
Huo Wensong looked at Su Zhengyi with great respect and said, "Elder Su, after you, please!"
Huo Wensong chuckled and said, "Let's go together."
Su Zhengyi, Huo Wensong, and Su Hualin, along with others, were the first to enter the Su family manor. At that moment, Li Jinjiang, who came with Huo Wensong, also followed them into the manor, but just before entering the Su family manor, he glanced around.
"Mr. Huo, there seem to be quite a few people around." Li Jinjiang quietly spoke to Huo Wensong as he followed.
Huo Wensong was preoccupied with the idea of proposing to Su Yun and hadn't noticed anything unusual around him. Upon hearing Li Jinjiang's words, he immediately furrowed his brow and looked at Li Jinjiang, saying, "Go handle it; I don't want any incidents today."
"What?" Li Jinjiang was shocked upon hearing Huo Wensong's words and quickly whispered, "Mr. Huo, there are too many people outside, and we don't know who they are; is it okay to act directly?"
"Why not?" Huo Wensong, being used to arrogance, was naturally quite displeased upon hearing there might be hostility outside. He further said, "Those who dare to hinder my plans must not be spared."
Li Jinjiang looked at Huo Wensong's menacing demeanor and recalled the expression Huo Qinglong had when his own brother was killed. After hesitating, he said, "Yes, Mr. Huo, I will take care of it!"
Li Jinjiang understood that although the martial artists outside were keenly observant, none dared to actually approach. The lure of the Heavenly Book's fragmented scrolls was enticing, but they had to face the powerful Linghuo Sect and Su family, both of which were formidable forces, especially Linghuo Sect, a renowned sect in Linlong State and the Eastern Three Provinces, boasting numerous disciples and incredible strength.
The reason Li Jinjiang told Huo Wensong about the people outside was essentially to hope Huo Wensong would give such an order, providing him an excuse so that if anything went wrong, he could not be blamed.
Having received Huo Wensong's command, Li Jinjiang immediately withdrew, taking along a large number of Linghuo Sect disciples.
Huo Wensong, along with Su Zhengyi and Su Hualin, arrived at the main hall. Eagerly, Huo Wensong said to Su Hualin, "Uncle Su, why isn't Miss Su Yun being brought out yet? Look, I've already arrived."
Upon hearing this, Su Hualin naturally knew what Huo Wensong was like, but he gave Huo Wensong the utmost respect, immediately smiling and saying, "Wensong, you must understand, Yunyun is still a young lady, and she must be a little shy, that's all."
Huo Wensong, upon hearing this, chuckled and said, "Of course, that's understandable."
At this time, Su Zhengyi looked at Huo Wensong, smiling and saying, "Wensong, I just saw Jinjiang hurrying out; is there an important matter?"
"Nothing major." Huo Wensong laughed carelessly and said, "My father places great importance on today's event. He repeatedly emphasized not to make any mistakes when I set out, and you know, I'm an obedient child, so I fully complied with my father's instructions. Anyone trying to interrupt today's proposal must be dealt with, no matter who they are!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing Huo Wensong's words, Su Zhengyi was quite puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by that? Who is this person you are referring to?"
"Hasn't Elder Su noticed that there are many pairs of eyes around the Su family? They must be here for that elusive rumor. I've asked Brother Jiang to take care of it." Huo Wensong said with a smile.
"What?" Su Zhengyi and Su Hualin were startled by these words. They exchanged glances, and their eyes almost spelled disaster.
"Hualin, quickly go and bring Jinjiang back." Su Zhengyi immediately said to Su Hualin.
Su Hualin promptly nodded in agreement.
However, as Su Hualin was about to leave, Huo Wensong curiously asked, "Wait, Elder Su, Uncle Su, why is that?"
Su Zhengyi looked at Huo Wensong and said, "Wensong, indeed, those people are here because of that message. But if we don't provoke them, they won't dare to enter the Su family. However, if we do provoke them, they will definitely go all the way and enter the Su family. Today cannot afford any mishaps."
Upon hearing Su Zhengyi's words, Huo Wensong's brow immediately furrowed, not because he thought Su Zhengyi was right, but because he felt that Su Zhengyi was belittling him. It must be noted that the order to have Li Jinjiang handle those outside was indeed given by Huo Wensong himself!
