Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 433: 213. What does the Shen Clan count for?_3

The Shen family also had reservations and didn't wish for their relations with the Zhu family to be made public. Moreover, with Zhou Hong obstructing, Shen Gufan forcefully restrained himself from lending aid. Although everyone was surprised, those who could think clearly understood the logic behind it.

As for the Hou clan, there was absolutely no reason for them to verbally humiliate Shen Gufan, let alone the Shen family. After all, given the circumstances, the sensible approach would be to turn hostility into friendship with the Shen family, to play down the incident and seek peace, rather than to stir up trouble!

Could it be just because of the threat made by Shen Gufan just now?

Could the actions of the Hou clan be so overbearing?

"You two ignorant youths, do you really think that with such meager strength, you can act lawlessly within Jinling County, so shamelessly humiliate me, so shamelessly humiliate my Shen family? If I let you leave Jinling unscathed today, I might as well not be the family head!"

Shen Gufan's voice was incredibly deep and fierce. As his speech ended, the aura around him sharply intensified. Despite being suppressed by the vast aura of the Hou clan's army, the strength of a Great Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm was still formidable, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.

Family Head Shen, he means serious business this time!

The Shen family had been established in Jinling for hundreds of years, and no one doubted their strength. Even though the presence of the Hou clan's army was indeed impressive, everyone there, without exception, still felt that the Shen family held the upper hand.

"You're old enough to know better, why engage in such a war of words? Expecting us to be unable to leave Jinling County just with the few people by your side, don't make people laugh their heads off!"

"You can't even protect your own dogs and still dare to call yourself the number one clan in Jinling, pah..."

"How many heads do you have, daring to threaten my Hou clan to our face? Today, my older brother is not here, but if he were, he would definitely twist your dog heads off!"

...

However, Hou Yujie, as if he hadn't seen the expression on Shen Gufan's face at all, continued to mock and insult without pause, each sentence uglier than the last.

What's more, it wasn't just Hou Yujie; Gao Changlong and his brothers, along with many warriors of the Gang Qi Realm from the army, also began to mock along with him.

"Hahaha, what nonsense Jinling Shen family, just a bunch of weaklings!"

"The Shen family has so few people, they wouldn't even be enough to pick our teeth with. You want to keep us from leaving Jinling County? You better have the ability first!"

"Hahaha, the white-robed swordsman Shen Gufan, turns out he's all talk..."

......

Shen Gufan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed. Staring at the Hou clan's people, especially Hou Yujie, who was leading the mockery against him, he seemed to sense something off, and the anger in his expression dissipated, replaced with surprise and contemplation.

Hou Yuduan, seeing the change in his expression, sighed lightly and shook his head inwardly, then sent a message to Hou Yujie, saying, "Fourth brother, you're overacting."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Gufan also seemed to realize something. He sneered coldly at the people from the Hou clan, then, with a fierce sweep of his sleeve and a cold huff, said nothing more and, bringing his son and the grandmasters of the Shen family with him, turned and left...

Shen Gufan, he can actually tolerate this?

Whether it was Zhou Hong, Ling Yanyun, and the other six, or other prominent warriors of the Gang Qi Realm from Jinling County, they all looked bewildered as they watched Shen Gufan walk away. After a moment of contemplation, when they looked back at the Hou clan's army, their eyes held not only fear but also a strong sense of respect.

The Hou clan was too powerful, powerful to the point where the Shen family was humiliated yet still didn't dare to turn hostile.

To those who didn't know what was going on, it seemed they unanimously believed that Shen Gufan's departure could only be due to this reason, and how could they not develop a sense of respect for the Hou clan...

This was a clan that even the Shen family did not dare to offend, the Hou family of Tongling, no, the Hou family of Hexi, should be firmly remembered from now on.

"Fourth Young Master, Fifth Young Master, when you have time, come to the Beidou Association, Mr. Ling will personally welcome you. The Zhu family was entirely at fault tonight, I shall take my leave first!"

Ling Yanyun was the first to bid farewell to the Hou brothers, and afterwards, the other people of Jinling County followed suit, bidding farewell to the two before daring to leave Golden House Mountain.

Hou Yujie did not stop these people; he responded with a smile and a courteous gesture to anyone who greeted him until finally, only Zhou Hong and his group from the Prefectural Magistrate's Office remained. Then, Hou Yuduan went up to him to talk, and they began gesturing towards Golden House Mountain, evidently discussing follow-up matters.
