Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1256: Hu Family Patriarch (Part 2)

To return and see Hu Zhongtian?

That sounds like a wonderful idea!

Yet, it is feared that once one begins to look, the desire to depart will vanish!

After all, Hu Yan Niang stands as the sole direct heir capable of managing the Hu Family’s Main Lineage...

And remarkably, she has even borne a son!

Even if this son is regarded as a simpleton! At the very least, he is not beyond the possibility of being saved!

Regardless, it is unfathomable that he would permit the mother and son to return!

"Elder Brother, I implore you to consider the future prosperity of the Hu Family and our clan! Our Hu Family cannot afford to become a source of ridicule once more!"

"Furthermore, should you permit Yan Niang to return, what will transpire when the Huo Family seeks retribution against us?"

"And one must not forget that the Bai Family will certainly not remain idle spectators either!"

As the Second Elder voiced his concerns, Hu Zhongtian's visage grew increasingly severe.

"Silence!" Hu Zhongtian nearly ruptured something in his throat as he expelled blood.

"Have I not sufficiently contemplated the best interests of the Hu Family? You are all acutely aware of the circumstances surrounding Yan Niang's plight back then!"

"She was maliciously framed from the very outset, which is precisely why she lost her chastity prior to marriage!"

"For the sake of preserving the reputation of the Hu Family and our clan, I stoically bore the burden of not bringing her back into the Hu Family's embrace when she desperately needed assistance, leaving her to face the scornful whispers and malicious gossip alone, until she had no alternative but to abandon Barbaric City. This, I admit, is my profound failure as a father!"

"And now, as I stand on the precipice of death, you still seek to prevent her from returning to see me!"

"Is this not merely a manifestation of your apprehension that she might contend with you for control of the Hu Family's leadership should she return?"

"Allow me to state this unequivocally: I shall never permit her to ascend to the mantle of the Hu Family's leadership! Not in this lifetime!"

"Now, you may depart!"

"Begone!"

Hu Zhongtian bellowed in indignation, then violently spewed forth a considerable quantity of blood, subsequently commanding his Hidden Guards to escort the Second Elder and the others away.

A palpable sense of unwillingness still permeated those departing, and they were on the verge of uttering further protests when Luo Qingtong's voice, imbued with a serene calmness, resonated through the air.

"Oh, right, I seem to have neglected to inform you all that Hu Bang unfortunately incurred the displeasure of that particular assembly of Noble Family Young Masters with whom he was associating."

"Upon our arrival, he was found bound and being ignominiously dragged behind one of their steeds!"

"My earnest suggestion would be for you to investigate matters posthaste, lest he meet an untimely end!"

Luo Qingtong gracefully fanned herself with a delicate, folded fan, observing the Second Elder and his companions with a subtle, knowing smile.

"Hmph! How could such a thing be remotely plausible? You impudent child, cease your fabrication of baseless falsehoods!"

The Second Elder harbored no belief whatsoever in Luo Qingtong's assertion.

Those Young Masters from the Noble Families typically maintained harmonious relationships with Hu Bang, so how could they possibly engage in such reprehensible conduct?

Moreover, Hu Bang represented a distinguished member of their own lineage; those individuals were well aware of this fact.

Even should Hu Bang have inadvertently spoken out of turn and offended them, it was inconceivable that they would subject Hu Bang to such degrading treatment!

The Second Elder perceived Luo Qingtong's statement as a transparent stratagem designed to divert attention from Chu Lingfeng and his associates, and a dismissive sneer began to form on his lips.

At this precise juncture, a guard from the Hu Family, his body slick with sweat, burst in from the exterior, his voice laced with urgent alarm.

"Disaster! Second Elder, it is imperative that you hasten to ascertain the situation! Emissaries have arrived to deliver news, and they await outside with great desperation!"

"Young Master Bang is in grave peril! If immediate action is not taken, a life may be lost!"

The Hu Family guard appeared as though he had been doused in water!

Earlier, when Luo Qingtong and her entourage had forcefully breached the Hu Family's defenses, all the gates had been summarily sealed, and every available soul had been mobilized to intercept Luo Qingtong and the others!

Consequently, there had been no one positioned to receive incoming visitors from the outside!

Those individuals who had journeyed to convey vital intelligence to the Hu Family found themselves unable to gain entry and were enduring an agonizing wait, fraught with anxiety!
