Chapter 21 Who Ultimately Kneels?_1
Whoosh!
The young people in the courtyard were all astounded.
Each of them looked at Su Yi with disbelief.
"Hahaha, did I hear that right? A guy who lives off a woman wants the Family Head to come out and greet him?"
"He must have gone crazy from poverty. Get lost quickly, don't embarrass the Lin Family."
"Damn it, I feel sick. It seems I didn't kick him hard enough last time!"
In a moment, these young people started cursing Su Yi out loud.
Not only that, a few of the young men rolled up their sleeves and marched over with an aggressive air.
"What are you trying to do?"
Lin Xinran spread her arms out, positioning herself in front of Su Yi.
"Wow, it's you, the cheap woman, still able to walk?"
"Having a bastard child with a pauper, you've lost all of the Lin Family's face."
"What's the matter? Showing off your body to me? If not for the blood relation, I'd have liked to taste you."
The leading young man spoke frivolously while his eyes continually roamed over Lin Xinran's body.
"You!"
Lin Xinran trembled with anger.
"Seeking death!"
Su Yi stepped forward with a darkened face.
He had initially wanted to take the Lin Family's dignity into account, but those words had touched Su Yi's raw nerve.
"What? Trash, you want to hit me?"
"Go on, hit me! I want to see if you have the guts."
With that, the young man actually presented his face upfront.
Slap!
Su Yi responded with a backhand slap.
Thud!
This slap was so powerful that the young man flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall.
"Motherfucker, this kid dares to hit someone!"
"Let's get him together; beat him to death!"
Whoosh! About a dozen young men charged at him all at once.
The surrounding bodyguards, unable to stand by, joined in as well.
"Su Yi..."
Worry filled Lin Xinran's eyes.
"Don't worry, with me here, nobody can touch you or our daughter."
Su Yi pulled Lin Xinran and Su Xiaoxiao behind him.
"Mhm mhm, Daddy is the best."
Though Xiao Xiao was scared, she still waved her little fists and pursed her lips to cheer on Su Yi.
Su Yi narrowed his eyes, silently pulling out several silver needles with his left hand.
No need to waste too much energy on these fools.
Swish swish swish!
The silver needles in his hand shot through the air like streaks of light.
Ahhh!
The ten or so men closest to him fell to the ground.
They convulsed and rolled on the ground, unable to get up.
While the rest hesitated, another wave of light flashed by.
In the blink of an eye, only Su Yi and his family remained standing.
The young people in the courtyard were dumbfounded.
They hadn't seen clearly what had happened.
But the dozens of bodyguards around them closed in.
"What are you waiting for? Capture this bastard."
"Kill him; he dared to lay hands on a member of the Lin Family."
Someone shouted.
The bodyguards pulled out their weapons, specialty made electric batons, with cold expressions.
They quickly moved in to surround the area.
"The Family Head has arrived."
Suddenly, someone shouted from outside.
"The Family Head is here; this guy is as good as dead!"
"Right, the Family Head despises this bastard the most."
"Step aside, let's see how the Family Head kills him."
The crowd parted to create a path, and Lin Zhentian, along with some of the family elders, hurried over.
"What's happened here?"
Lin Zhentian asked in a deep voice.
"Family Head, it's that wretched woman who's come back with her useless man."
"I don't know what evil techniques he's learned, but he's injured many of our people."
"Family Head, don't let this piece of trash leave alive!"
Several young men quickly stepped forward, adding fuel to the fire with their words.
They were usually favorites in front of Lin Zhentian and naturally had the privilege to speak.
"Scoundrel, kneel down and apologize."
Lin Zhentian nearly roared.
"Didn't you hear? The Family Head orders you to kneel down!"
One of the middle-aged men disdainfully said to Su Yi.
Slap!
Lin Zhentian slapped the young man's face with his palm.
"I fucking told you to kneel down to Mr. Su."
"Not just you, but all of you as well, kneel down to him!"
What?!
The crowd looked at each other in disbelief.
Kneel to that piece of trash?
On what grounds?
The Family Head must be out of his mind!
"I'll say it again, kneel down, or I'll chop off your legs and then kick you out of the Lin family!"
Lin Zhentian said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the faces of those young people immediately changed.
They knew full well that Lin Zhentian always meant what he said.
Having their legs cut off and then leaving the Lin family, wouldn't that be a death sentence for them?
Plop! Plop!
One after another, the young people knelt before Su Yi.
Although they were not willing in their hearts, they had no choice but to do so.
"Family Head, this isn't appropriate."
One of the Lin family elders couldn't help but speak up.
"If you cannot bear to watch, you're welcome to kneel as well," Lin Zhentian said after hearing this.
Upon hearing those words, the other elders behind him fell silent as if they were stricken by cold frost.
Lin Zhentian glanced around and then hurried over to Su Yi, quickly putting on a smile.
"Mr. Su, I am truly sorry for being late."
His obsequious demeanor was like that of a junior meeting a senior.
The crowd's jaws dropped in astonishment.
"Mr. Su, please come inside!"
Su Yi glanced around before slightly nodding his head.
He walked into the courtyard holding hands with Lin Xinran and Xiao Xiao.
Lin Xinran looked around with moist eyes.
She hadn't set foot in this courtyard for many years.
If it hadn't been for Su Yi's transformation, she might never have had the chance to enter it again in her lifetime.
"Mr. Su, please take the seat of honor."
Once they arrived at the main hall, Lin Zhentian made a gesture of invitation.
Su Yi didn't stand on ceremony, taking a seat with Lin Xinran and Su Xiaoxiao beside him.
The rest of the elders had dark expressions on their faces.
If it weren't for Lin Zhentian being present, they may have already lost their temper.
"Family Head, the Chen Family is pressing us hard. How shall we explain this?"
After everyone took their seats, an elder couldn't help but speak out.
The other elders also nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, just the Chen Family, what's there to fear?" Lin Zhentian snorted coldly.
The other elders exchanged glances, their eyes full of confusion.
Before, Lin Zhentian had been like a subservient dog to the Chen Family, very obedient.
What's gotten into him now?
"The Chen Family has a Martial Artist, though!" the elder reminded.
"Martial Artist?"
Lin Zhentian suddenly stood up.
"I'll tell you, Liu Qinghe was defeated by Su Yi just yesterday."
"So the Chen Family will sooner or later be trampled under the feet of our Lin Family," Lin Zhentian declared.
Upon hearing this, the elders' eyes grew wide.
The events of the previous day were too secretive, and naturally, the Chen Family wouldn't publicize it.
But since Lin Zhentian put it this way, coupled with his behavior today, it proved this was definitely true.
Subsequently, their gaze at Su Yi turned different.
"Mr. Su, I didn't realize your greatness, I was blind!"
"Mr. Su, a magnanimous person doesn't dwell on the past misdeeds of others."
"Let me pour you a drink."
The elders began to bustle about.
Lin Xinran watched, completely astonished. Could people really be this shameless?
Su Yi didn't care much and just gently patted her shoulder.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.
But unexpectedly, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from outside at an inappropriate time.
