Azure Dragon City grew even more respectful toward the Su family after that.
Some were respectful because of gratitude.
Some because of fear.

They used spirit stones so high grade that even the family treasurers looked faint. Layer by layer, barriers settled into place beneath courtyards, walls, and gates.
One evening, while placing the final array flag near the Su ancestral hall, Mo Yuxin wiped her brow dramatically.
"I've decided," she said. "After this, if anyone dares break into the estate, they deserve whatever happens."
Su Yubing pressed the final seal into the formation. Lines of pale blue light spread outward under the ground and vanished. "If a Nascent Soul attacks, the formation will stall them."
