"Thank you." Schi Yan glanced at Su Chen and whispered her gratitude. At this mont, her face was covered in blood, making her appear very disheveled. She didn’t know why Ke Ying gave face to Su Chen, but she knew it was Su Chen who saved her.
At the sa ti.
Ultimately, Xu Wu could not hold back.
Xu Wu took steps toward Su Chen.
"Hm?" Ke Ying naturally frowned. With her understanding of Xu Wu, she knew he was furious to the point of losing his rationality. Otherwise, he wouldn’t disregard her previous warning. Subconsciously, Ke Ying wanted to reprimand Xu Wu to make him stop. However, the words stopped at her lips.
"Perhaps, letting him test Su Chen’s current strength isn’t a bad thing." Ke Ying thought to herself.
Firstly, when she first arrived at the Imperial Academy, she indeed took a fancy to Xu Wu at first sight. However, things that co too easily aren’t cherished, are they? With just one sentence, Xu Wu beca her husband, and after decades, she was sowhat tired of him. If Xu Wu really had sothing unfortunate happen, she could accept it. After years of nurturing at the Imperial Academy, her standards had risen. Without Xu Wu, she could find an even better man. After all, her cousin is Ke Wuxin, and this alone has intrigued countless top prodigies.
Secondly, she harbored a bit of wishful thinking. The forr Su Chen was indeed terrifying, chilling to the bone. Su Chen’s na had been a nightmare for both Ke Ying and Ke Wuxin. But now, as ti passed, was Su Chen still as terrifying? As invincible? As despair-inducing? Maybe not. What if Su Chen was just a hollow shell now, rely pretending? Letting Xu Wu test Su Chen’s current strength was not a bad choice.
Thirdly, she felt embarrassed earlier. With just Su Chen’s sentence ’I will protect Schi Yan,’ she yielded. Now that she thought about it, it seed sowhat embarrassing. The pride in her heart made her very uncomfortable. If she didn’t cause so trouble for Su Chen, she wouldn’t be satisfied. Xu Wu, with enough strength and without needing her instigation, went to find trouble with Su Chen himself.
Based on these three points, the warning and persuasion Ke Ying was about to give Xu Wu remained unsaid. Instead, she watched Xu Wu with interest, focusing on him as he approached Su Chen.
In the distance, Schi Yan planned to leave directly after Su Chen saved her. However, at this mont, it was clear that Su Chen was in trouble. She bit her lip, suppressing her fear, grievance, and pain, and stayed in the hall. She needed to see how Su Chen would handle this. If Su Chen’s life was in danger, she had to rescue him. Repaying kindness was part of Schi Yan’s nature. She held a sliver of confidence that she could save Su Chen, after all, Xu Wu had once been infatuated with her. If she begged, even knelt and begged, perhaps Xu Wu would spare Su Chen’s life.
Of course, from Schi Yan’s perspective, the likelihood of Su Chen being in danger wasn’t particularly high. After all, Di Qiong was still present. While Di Qiong’s strength might not be greater than Xu Wu’s, it certainly wasn’t any weaker. That was a certainty.
However, at this mont, Di Qiong seed oblivious to Xu Wu’s approach toward Su Chen. Her expression unchanged, she sat there quietly, which puzzled and worried Schi Yan.
"Let’s see what you do! No matter how you managed to win the favor of Xu Wu’s woman, in the end, you are just a Tao Realm, a re ant. Even Di Qiong has given up on you, right? Engaging with such an ant in a major dispute with a Son of the Emperor like Xu Wu is clearly not worthwhile. Di Qiong is a smart woman as well. Su Chen, you’re in trouble!!!" Yu Yui felt relieved, murmuring ruthlessly to herself, slightly raising her head. Her heart was filled with anticipation and excitent, eager to see Su Chen in a dire situation.
"This young brother, what is your noble surna and great na?" Xu Wu, facing Su Chen, asked with a smile. He appeared all warm and sunny.
"Su Chen." Su Chen, not one to strike a smiling face, responded truthfully, observing Xu Wu’s expression in the process. However, Xu Wu showed no reaction to the na. Clearly, Ke Wuxin had not disclosed even the slightest detail about him.
"Brother Su, you and my wife are old acquaintances?" Xu Wu continued questioning. One couldn’t discern from him any aggression or see any hint of underlying emotion. His ability to conceal emotion was exceptional.
"Not acquainted." Su Chen replied blandly. He had no acquaintance with Ke Ying, though Ke Ying should know him, that was all.
"Brother Su seems sowhat dishonest!" Xu Wu finally revealed a cold smile. He was convinced that Su Chen and Ke Ying indeed were old acquaintances, perhaps even having a decent relationship. Otherwise, why would Ke Ying give Su Chen face? He knew Ke Ying too well—ruthless, domineering, pampered. Was there any chance she’d show face to an unknown Tao Realm insect? No, she definitely knew Su Chen from before, and perhaps their relationship was quite good. Su Chen’s denial only made Xu Wu feel there was sothing between the two, deliberately concealing it.
Unconsciously, the corners of Xu Wu’s mouth curled into a cruel smile: "Brother Su, I don’t like dishonest people."
"Oh." Su Chen responded casually. Whether you like it or not, what does it have to do with ?
Around them, the atmosphere had turned so cold it seed to freeze thought.
Many young talents were dumbfounded by Su Chen’s audacity.
Is this the kind of conversation to expect between a Tao Realm and a Seventh Layer Realm of Returning to Truth Two-Star Son of the Emperor?
Put it this way: if a Seventh Layer of the Realm of Returning to Truth was an elephant, a Tao Realm guy wouldn’t even count as an earthworm.
The gap between the two was simply imasurable by any unit of asurent.
In this situation, Su Chen’s audacity truly shattered understanding.
Even if one were brain-dead, there should at least be so instinctual sense and sensory insight, yet he was so desperately seeking death!
"Since you are old acquaintances with my wife, why don’t we have a spar? I can offer you so guidance." Su Chen’s re ’Oh’ completely infuriated Xu Wu, who casually found an excuse. Saturated with desire to act, he couldn’t control himself any longer.
Once these words were spoken, it seed as if there was no air in the hall. Everyone was plunged into a vacuum.
Silently, it sank into a state of deathly stillness and icy stasis.
How furious must Xu Wu be? A grand Seventh Layer of the Realm of Returning to Truth Son of the Emperor lowering himself to take action against a Tao Realm! Unbelievable! It was like a boxing champion inviting a baby for a boxing match, utterly unimaginable!
Crucially, it seed Su Chen couldn’t refuse.
Unintentionally, everyone turned their gaze toward Di Qiong, observing her reaction. Su Chen was brought by Di Qiong! The majority present believed Su Chen to be Di Qiong’s servant. When a servant was challenged, wouldn’t the master, Di Qiong, step forward?
