Chapter 131: My Word Is Evidence

“Could he be the doctor you traveled all the way to Jiangzhou to find?”

“That’s right! At the time, he demanded ten billion. I weighed it over and decided that curing the illness came first. I could return in time to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday, and then transfer him a few million afterward. But who would have thought he would actually follow me here today?”

Several of the Su family’s daughters-in-law rolled their eyes and burst into mocking laughter.

“This guy must be insane for money. Ten billion? Why doesn’t he just rob a bank?”

“Being allowed to treat a member of the Su family is a blessing he earned over eight lifetimes. Even if we didn’t give him a single penny, that would still be doing him a favor! And he actually dares to make such an outrageous demand? He must be tired of living!”

Old Master Su frowned slightly and waved his hand.

“Forget it. Since he was the one who saved Yanran, I won’t say anything more. Butler, give him eight million, then arrange a seat for him. Let him stay for a meal.”

“Yes, Master.”

The butler soon left. The Su family’s daughters-in-law continued ridiculing Ling Xiao as though they were laughing at a fool.

An ordinary person would not even dare dream of winning the favor of the Su family. Yet this man had been handed such a wonderful opportunity and had actually come demanding money!

Compared with a few million, what did the Su family’s favor amount to?

As expected, some people were simply too short-sighted!

...

The butler hurried outside and swept his gaze across the crowd before finally settling on Ling Xiao.

Everyone present, no matter how wealthy they were, wore respectful expressions.

Only Ling Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and an arrogant look on his face. Compared with the obsequious wealthy men around him, he seemed completely out of place.

“Are you the doctor?”

Ling Xiao nodded.

Seeing him admit it, the butler could not suppress a contemptuous laugh.

“Tch! You had such a good opportunity to curry favor with the Su family, yet you gave it up for a mere few million. How laughable!”

“A few million?”

Ling Xiao frowned slightly.

The butler pulled a bank card from his robe and tossed it at Ling Xiao’s feet, as though throwing a few coins to a beggar.

“This is your medical fee from the Master of the house—eight million! In addition, Old Master Su has ordered that we arrange a seat for you and reward you with a meal. After that, you can get lost!”

Ling Xiao did not even glance at the card. He simply looked calmly at the butler and said, “Did Su Yanran not make herself clear? She owes me ten billion!”

The butler burst out laughing.

“Ten billion? Do you even know what you are? Do you think you have the right to demand ten billion? You’re nothing but a quack, yet you actually dare to name such a price! The fact that our Old Master is rewarding you with eight million is already the greatest stroke of luck you could ever have!”

Ling Xiao’s expression turned cold.

“If that is the case, then it seems your Su family already knows.”

With that, he stepped directly over the card and walked toward the estate with his hands behind his back.

The butler’s brows furrowed.

“Hey! Did I give you permission to go in? Do you think you have the right to enter through the main gate? Get in through the side entrance!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao punched forward. His fist pierced straight through the butler’s chest.

“You talk too much.”

The entrance to the estate fell silent for several seconds before erupting into an uproar.

“He killed someone! Look! He killed the Su family’s butler!”

“My God! Someone actually dared to kill a man at the Su residence! Does he not want to live anymore?”

Ling Xiao ignored the commotion and continued walking deeper into the estate.

Soon, a large number of security guards rushed toward him.

“Stop! Stop right there! Who gave you permission to come in?”

“If you don’t stop, don’t blame us for what happens next!”

Ling Xiao remained completely unmoved. Enraged, the guards charged at him without hesitation, swinging their electric batons toward his head.

Calmly, Ling Xiao stamped his foot.

A wave of powerful energy burst outward, sending every one of them flying.

“Hiss! He’s actually a martial cultivator!”

“Hmph! So what if he’s a martial cultivator? The two people backing the Su family are figures that even martial cultivators cannot afford to provoke!”

...

Inside the villa, the members of the Su family were still chatting merrily when a young security guard suddenly came rolling and crawling inside.

“Master, Master, this is bad! That doctor... he... he forced his way in!”

“What?”

The Su family members were shocked, especially Su Yanran.

“How did he break in? What are all of you security guards good for? Where’s the butler?”

The young guard spoke with a sob in his voice.

“He... he’s a martial cultivator. We were no match for him. Even the butler was killed by him!”

“Bastard!”

Old Master Su slammed his hand on the table and rose to his feet.

“What does that brat think our Su family is? Does he even have the Su family in his eyes? I’ll tear him limb from limb!”

The moment he finished speaking, a thunderous boom rang out. The doors of the Su family villa were smashed apart, and several bodies came tumbling inside. By the time they stopped, they were barely breathing out and scarcely drawing breath in.

The hearts of the Su family members jolted. Ling Xiao’s figure gradually came into view.

Old Master Su narrowed his eyes.

“You’re that divine physician from Jiangzhou?”

Ling Xiao glanced at him indifferently.

“You don’t need to know that. All you need to know is that Su Yanran owes me ten billion!”

The third daughter-in-law of the Su family rolled her eyes. This was the perfect opportunity to win favor.

She immediately stepped forward and gave a contemptuous laugh.

“What an arrogant claim! You say our Yanran owes you ten billion, and that makes it so? Do you have any proof? I could just as easily say that you owe me one hundred billion. Are you going to give me one hundred billion now?”

Ling Xiao glanced at her without replying, which made her even more pleased.

What now? Lost for words, are you? Even if you are a martial cultivator, you should think carefully before acting arrogantly in the Su family’s home. You still need to see whether you have the ability to back it up!

But just as she was basking in her triumph, Ling Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. A blade of energy shot from his pupils.

A flash of light passed.

The third daughter-in-law’s head fell from her shoulders.

The pupils of everyone present contracted. Only then did Ling Xiao speak.

“My word is the proof.”

The entire hall fell silent for a long time.

This was the Su family of Jiangnan!

Throughout all of Jiangnan, who would dare provoke the Su family?

Yet today, someone had not only come to their door but had directly killed a member of the Su family’s main bloodline in their own sitting room!

Heavens, was this man insane?

After a long while, Old Master Su finally recovered. His eyes bulged with rage as he roared, “How dare you! You actually dared to kill a close member of the Su family’s main line in my home. You must be tired of living!”

Ling Xiao did not care in the slightest. His expression remained cold as he said, “Enough nonsense. Either pay up, or... repay the debt with your life!”

His merciless words made everyone in the Su family tremble.

This man really was a lunatic!

Was he not afraid of the two figures behind the Su family?

Was he not afraid of death?
