Chapter 631: 631 Changes in Yunjing! Too much like the Master of Highest Heaven Tower! [1 more update]

The Su Family is the first target she wants to rectify.

Then let’s start from now on.

She must firmly hold the initiative of all matters in her own hands.

Whether to attack or defend, of course, she would be the one to decide.

Ye Wanlan’s words made Su Xueqing’s heart quiver, her fingers gripping the phone tightened: "Okay!"

When she looked up at Su Ningxiang again, Su Xueqing’s expression had already become unwavering: "I will compete with you!"

"!"

Now it was Su Ningxiang’s turn to be shocked, the other Su Family Disciples following her also looked at Su Xueqing in disbelief.

Su Xueqing did indeed show an extremely high medical talent, otherwise, she would not have been ranked as the first among the core disciples upon returning to the Su Family.

Yet Su Ningxiang had been the Young Family Head for three years already, with deeply entwined influence, whereas Su Xueqing had no one to support her apart from the Zhu Family.

On what basis did she dare to challenge Su Ningxiang?

This was clearly a suicide mission!

After a moment of stupefaction, Su Ningxiang was almost overjoyed: "Su Xueqing, these are your own words, in that case, let’s go to the Elders’ Hall immediately to have the elders bear witness!"

She had been worried about not having a chance to get rid of Su Xueqing once and for all, and now Su Xueqing had taken the initiative to come to her.

Su Ningxiang didn’t care who Su Xueqing had been on the phone with, excitement flashed in her eyes.

"Alright." Su Xueqing put away her phone and said coldly, "For such a major event, of course, it needs to be witnessed by the elders, otherwise, what if you go back on your word?"

"Me going back on my word?" Su Ningxiang found it extremely laughable, "What a joke! If you so wish to seek death, I’ll satisfy you!"

This matter alarmed the entire Su Family Elder Group.

After learning what happened, the Su Family Great Elder’s expression changed instantly, and his voice deepened: "Su Xueqing, you must think this through."

"Yes, Su Xueqing." The Third Elder sneered sarcastically, "Do you know what a Family Head challenge really is? In three hundred years, only one person has initiated a Family Head challenge! And do you know the consequences that person faced?"

"I know." Su Xueqing spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Before being executed, the tendons in the hands were severed, and all medical skills learned in the Su Family were abolished."

"You know and you still dare to propose it!" The Third Elder was furious, "Don’t think that just because you’ve comprehended some lost Acupuncture Techniques, you can compare to Ningxiang! Allowing you to return was meant for you to assist Ningxiang properly, not to harbor such unrealistic thoughts about becoming the Family Head!"

Su Xueqing remained calm: "Who doesn’t want power? Third Elder, don’t you have such desires too?"

"You..." The Third Elder trembled with rage.

"Old Three." The Great Elder shouted, then turned to look at Su Xueqing, "I’m asking you one last time, are you sure you want to issue a Family Head challenge?"

Su Xueqing stood straight: "I’m sure."

"Sigh... Forget it." The Su Family Great Elder seemed disappointed and sighed deeply, "Then, I announce that the election for Family Head will start ahead of schedule, please be prepared, everyone."

The Su Family Great Elder greatly valued talent, and so he was very protective of Su Xueqing.

But since Su Xueqing had developed inappropriate ambitions, she had to hit a wall and learn her lesson in order to settle down.

"Thank you, Great Elder Xie." Su Xueqing bowed, "These days I won’t stay at the Su Family’s, I’m afraid some people might poison me, or find someone to kidnap me."

Su Ningxiang’s eyes turned icy: "Who are you talking about?"

"Whoever responds is who I’m talking about." Su Xueqing didn’t even look at Su Ningxiang, "I issue the Family Head challenge, not wanting such a ruthless, despicable, shameless person to lead the Su Family astray."

"Su, Xue, Qing!" Su Ningxiang was infuriated.

But Su Xueqing left the Elders’ Hall without turning her head back, not giving her an extra glance.

Su Ningxiang’s chest heaved violently, her face almost spilling over with venom.

She’ll let Su Xueqing live for a few more days, then eradicate her in one fell swoop!

**

The news of the Su Family Head’s early election competition was significant and quickly spread throughout the Yunjing Aristocratic Families.

"Oh?" Lin Shiyuan raised her eyebrows indifferently, "Are you saying that Su Xueqing actually issued a challenge of inheritance to Su Ningxiang?"

"Yes, Miss Shiyuan." Steward Lin replied respectfully, "The Su Family Elder Group has already warned Su Xueqing and repeatedly confirmed with her, yet she still issued the family head challenge."

Lin Shiyuan’s brows furrowed slightly.

She had carefully investigated the extent of Su Xueqing’s strength.

In terms of talent, Su Xueqing naturally had the upper hand, otherwise Su Ningxiang wouldn’t have schemed to force her away in the first place.

But being the head of a family requires more than just talent; it also needs the right timing, geographic advantages, and social harmony.

Su Xueqing had only returned to the Su Family for two months; how could she possibly win over all those who follow Su Ningxiang?

What exactly made Su Xueqing so decisive?

Lin Shiyuan couldn’t figure it out, she slowly exhaled, "We will just watch the fight from the sidelines, but if Su Xueqing really succeeds..."

Then she would have to make many changes to her plans.

**

After leaving the Su Family, Su Xueqing moved into the Rong Family residence.

"Ah Lan, you guessed right again. Su Ningxiang has indeed been waiting for me to challenge her for the family head position," Su Xueqing said with a coolness in her brows. "She couldn’t wait to have the Elders Council bear witness."

"Mm, because she’s in a hurry," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly. "She’s eager to deal with you, so as long as you show a slight flaw, she will fall into the trap."

Su Xueqing somewhat understood, "Ah Lan, to tell you the truth, if it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t dare to do it, but with you, I’m confident in everything."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow: "Are you ready?"

"I’m ready," Su Xueqing smiled. "The position of head of the Su Family, I’m set on it."

"Great ambition, great courage," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly. "I’m looking forward to it."

These days, Huo Jingyu had also been staying on the Rong Family’s Back Mountain, resting and adapting to the new era, while also keeping Shui Yunqing company.

However, he couldn’t touch her, and she couldn’t see him.

But maybe there’s a quantum entanglement between everyone who knows each other, so even though Huo Jingyu and Shui Yunqing couldn’t touch each other, they could both feel that the other was nearby.

As a Gu person, Shui Yunqing’s perception of the outside world was getting stronger, even though she still had no memory, emotions, or human consciousness, but outsiders could see that she had become much more lively than when she first came to the Rong Family.

At first, Shui Yunqing would just sit quietly by the lake watching the clouds drift, but now, she would lift her hand to let a flying bird perch in her palm for a moment.

"The condition of Water Palace Master has indeed improved a lot," the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family stroked his beard, saying with a smile, "This is a good thing. Perhaps the Water Palace Master will be the first to transform from a Gu person back to a normal person!"

Yan Tingfeng nodded slightly, "It’s like... there’s someone we can’t see, accompanying her by her side, helping her improve."

Huo Jingyu naturally heard this sentence, and his expression subtly changed.

When he first met Yan Tingfeng, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, and this young man had a strong scent of blood about him.

Even though he was smiling, his phoenix eyes curving like a gentle spring breeze, hidden beneath this elegant and beautiful facade was an unfathomable ferocity and violence.

Huo Jingyu was also pondering a question: where had he seen such a person before?

Suddenly, something flashed through his mind.

He remembered!

Master of Highest Heaven Tower!
