Yun Cheâs words suddenly blanked everyoneâs minds . Whispers began to sound from every direction and there were many that constantly shook their heads to show that they knew absolutely nothing about this matter . Everyoneâs expressions were especially strange since Su Lingâer was after all, still young . She was only ten years of age this year . If the two unsuspecting people were betrothed before they were even adults, that would still have been quite normal, but Yun Che was a full grown adult! There certainly was something wrong with thatâŚ
Looking at the situation in front of them, no matter who it was, they thought it was extremely likely that this was just a fabricated excuse to thwart Su Hengyueâs ambitions .
Su Hengshan was caught in a daze as well, but he quickly reacted . He took a quick glance at Yun Che and without changing his expression, he said: âThatâs right, Yun Che is the number one genius of the younger generation amongst the ones Iâve seen . I quite admire him, since, in terms of natural talent he is at least ten times better than Su Haoyu! You have seen this fact with your own eyes; additionally, he also saved my daughterâs life, so I have arranged for my daughter to marry him . When my daughter reaches sixteen years of age, they will marry!â
Su Lingâer blinked her innocent watery eyes . She had a look of confusion all over her face . After all, she was already ten years old this year and not some two or three year old little kid . She already knew what âmarriageâ meant . Even if she didnât understand it completely, she was aware of what it basically meant . She looked at her father and then at Yun Che . Her heart was beating wildly as she was at her witâs end .
âBunch of crap!â Su Hengyue clenched his teeth and angrily said: âSu Hengshan, donât treat everyone like an idiot! This child is only someone who recently helped you . This marriage thing, is just an excuse! Otherwise, how can there not be a single person here who knows about it!â
âHehe, thatâs only because I havenât publicly announced yet . Donât tell me that my own daughterâs marriage requires the consent of others?â Su Hengshan said indifferently . He looked at the crowd and then calmly continued: âLooks like, all of you arenât too convinced . Thatâs fine . I, Su Hengshan, will publicly announce this matter right nowâŚâ
He looked at Yun Che, and Yun Che also looked at him⌠Su Hengshanâs expression was incredibly complicated, but Yun Cheâs expression was incredibly unwavering and tranquil . This was the meeting of eyes between two men who loved the same girl dearly . From the expression in their eyes, one of them had the pure love of a father, and the other had an expression that shook oneâs heart⌠undying determination .
After seeing the look in Yun Cheâs eyes, Su Hengshanâs heart and mind also calmed down . All of his nervousness became the feeling of wonderful calmness .
His mood before was always immersed in the shock that Yun Che instilled . Although he loathed the Su Hengyue father and son pair, he had no choice but to recognize them . Su Haoyuâs natural talents were incredible, and no one in Grandwake Clan could reach him . But this kind of genius, had actually suffered a crushing defeat in front of Yun Che, who was two or three years younger than him . And his following strike was able to severely injure Li Yunji who was in the Earth Profound Realm . He was only at this age, but he already had such frightening strength . Within his cognition, this could only be described as unimaginable .
A young man who possessed such a strength must have been born in a top top notch sect in the Country of Supwake⌠wrong! The sect he was born in must be top notch even in the Azure Cloud Continent!
Although Grandwake Clan controlled the everything east of Supwake River, he wasnât delusional that such a disciple like this could appear within their younger generation . The sect that he belonged to was an existence that Grandwake Clan could only kneel to and worship . He was absolutely certain about this point without a trace of doubt . The same opinions also emerged within the hearts of practically everyone present .
Now, the only concern was if Su Lingâer was suitable for him, since he was completely suitable for his daughter .
Yun Cheâs looks were one in ten thousand . His personality, as well as his deep and unfathomable expressions, was something no one could reach up to⌠These things were all secondary within Su Hengshanâs heart, but the love and protection that he showed to Su Lingâer came from the depths of his soul and bones . The unwavering determination to protect her life that he showed once before made him unable to feel anything but emotional . Although he and Su Lingâer had obviously just met this morning, the sensation that he felt was so incredibly clear that amazed him from the bottom of his heart .
And to a father, was there anything more relieving than entrusting his own daughter to a person who was willing to protect her with his life?
At the same time, Su Lingâer also clearly displayed an unreasonable amount of trust and dependence towards Yun Che .
He was incapable of determining what Yun Cheâs morals were like . Today, in a situation where he could have absolutely avoided from the start, he unhesitantly showed his power, and put himself in a dangerous situation . This was also a kindness that he had towards Su Hengshan and the Grandwake Clan, but he felt the reason why Yun Che acted like this was entirely because of Lingâer .
In conclusion, if he could entrust his daughterâs future to this kind of person, he could feel at ease about his daughterâs entire life . If he had to find a blemish, it would be that Yun Che was already married . If his daughter were to marry Yun Che in the future, she could only become a concubine .
The mood of Su Hengshan, who had never thought about the matters concerning Su Lingâerâs marriage before today, became incredibly calm . His face contained a slight smile and he used an ample voice to declare: âToday, Iâll formally declare that my daughter, Su Lingâer will be betrothed to Yun Clanâs son, Yun Che . The girl is still young right now, but when she is sixteen, they will set a date for marriage! Everyone here shall now bare witness!â
Every one of Su Hengshanâs words were resounding . No one was able to hear a strand of falseness or reluctance at all . Once he finished talking, he lightly nodded towards Yun Che with a smile on his face and warmth in his eyes⌠That was the expression of a daughterâs father who was closely examining his son-in-law . Even the most vicious person there could not see a strand of fake acting .
Yun Che quickly walked forward, knelt on one knee, and sincerely said: âSon-in-law Yun Che, thanks father-in-law for his consent!â
âYun Che, you must think it through clearly . The girls of our Grandwake Clan will never marry outsiders . If you want to marry my daughter, then you will become a member of my Grandwake Clan!â
Yun Che nodded without the slightest bit of hesitation: âI understand! From today, I, Yun Che will become a disciple of the Grandwake Clan! I will share both the honors and disgrace the Grandwake Clan!â
Yun Che raised his head and looked towards the stunned Su Lingâer . He gently smiled⌠Lingâer, during those times, I had never given you the tiniest amount of commitment . I owe you way too much . This is a dreamscape, but it is also a beautiful dream . Let me give you everything that I can within this dream .
âHahahaha, good!â Su Hengshan walked forward and helped Yun Che up . He let him and Su Lingâer stand together, then faced Su Wangji and Su Hengyue and said: âGrand Elder, Yun Che is my son-in-law now and is also a son-in-law of the Grandwake Clan . Naturally, he is now a member of my Grandwake Clan . In terms of age, he is younger than Su Haoyu . In terms of natural talent, hehe, Elder must have surely seen it clearly . Grand Elder had just suggested it, and everyone here heard it clearly . I believe with the Grand Elderâs seniority and prestige, you certainly will not go back on your words . So now, Iâll have full authority regarding the matters regarding the clanâs treasure in the future . I believe that you, elder, will certainly not have any objections . â
Su Wanjiâs old face was rigid and extremely ugly all over; he was speechless . His words before were completely for Su Hengyue to get his way . He never could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, it had become the big pit that he was jumping right into .
âSu Hengyue, do you have anything else to say?â Su Hengshan asked with raised eyebrows .
âHmph!!â Su Hengyueâs gaze was gloomy . His hands, which were pressed against Su Haoyuâs chest, were trembling .
âHehehehehe!â An unpleasantly cold laughter sounded . Heimu Qingya, who had always been watching by the side, slowly walked forward towards Su Hengshan . Two elders of the Blackwood Stronghold closely followed from behind him . Heimu Qingya didnât stop until he was less than three steps away from Su Hengshan, then he raised his hand toward Su Hengshan: âI sincerely congratulate Clan Master Su in finding such a wonderful son-in-law . Not only did you solve a lifelong problem for your daughter, you even have completely handled of the matter regarding your clanâs valuable treasure .
âHeimu Qingya, our Grandwake Clanâs valuable treasure concerns the prosperity of my clan . It doesnât belong to anybody else but our Grandwake Clan . Hmph! If you wish to talk about my Grandwake Clanâs matters again, before the matters regarding you outsidersâ ulterior motives, I still havenât paid my debts for the matter regarding the fact that you tried to do something to my daughter! Iâd like to see just what kind of explanation youâll give me today . â Su Hengshan said sternly .
âHeh, Clan Master Su does not need to be so angry . Iâll certainly have an explanation for you . However, before that, I have something to remind Clan Master Su . â Heimu Qingyaâs eyes were half squinted and a dangerously cold light radiated from between the cracks of his eyes: âThe reason you can be so happy go lucky right now is because of this son-in-law of yours that came out of nowhere . As long as you have this son-in-law, the number one disciple of your generation can never be Su Haoyu, but what if he were to suddenly dieâŚâ
When Heimu Qingya spoke to here, his figure suddenly flashed and charged like a streak of black lightning towards Yun Che . A fist imbued with violent surges of profound energy grabbed toward Yun Cheâs chest .
âQingya old bastard, you dare!!â
Su Hengshanâs expression transformed into great anger . Just as he was about to take action, the two elders behind Heimu Qingya were already facing him to completely block his attack, to prevent him from hindering Heimu Qingya during this exact moment .
Heimu Qingya possessed strength of the Sky Profound Realm . There were only already only a few people within Grandwake Clan who could contend against him . Additionally, since Heimu Qingya was already closeby before he suddenly took action, Grandwake Clanâs experts of the elder class were all too far away, and were unable to block it in time . All of them could only look on helplessly as Heimu Qingya directly charged at Yun Cheâs front .
Heimu Qingya was an extremely despicable and immoral person, but no one could have imagined that heâd be despicable to this degree . Even with the identity of a Hold Master, he actually went as far as to sneak attack a junior in front of everyoneâs eyes!
When Heimu Qingya was talking with Su Hengshan, Yun Che had already placed Su Lingâer behind him to protect her and strengthened his awareness at the same time . Perhaps Su Hengshan could not sense it, but he was extremely perceptive to things like killing intent; he had sensed that Heimu Qingya had a desire to kill him with one strike . During Heimu Qingyaâs charge, Yun Cheâs brows lowered and Burning Heart opened . Along with a loud shout, âSealing Cloud Locking Sunâ instantly activated .
Bang!!
Heimu Qingyaâs palms struck against the barrier of âSealing Cloud Locking Sunâ and a stuffy noise sounded . A huge shock wave transmitted from ahead and caught him off guard, causing him to retreat several steps .
But Yun Che and Su Lingâer, who was behind him, were in fact unmoved and completely unharmed . However, âSealing Cloud Locking Sunâ was directly shattered by Heimu Qingyaâs single palm .
Heimu Qingya was greatly shocked . He never could have imagined that he would be shocked into retreat by this youngster . He was shocked and angry . Following a low roar, he mobilized all the profound energy in his body and blasted towards Yun Che with his palm again: âJunior⌠die!!â
Yun Che was not frightened, nor was he in a panic . He quickly grabbed Su Lingâer and prepared to escape with Star Godâs Broken Shadow⌠He only needed to dodge this single strike from Heimu Qingya . By then, the elders and disciples of the Grandwake Clan would catch up, and Heimu Qingya also would never be able to think about harming him and Su Lingâer ever again .
But at this moment, an ice cold beeze suddenly blew past . Within the cold wind were many pieces of floating snowflakes . A long white ribbon followed the wind and snow to lightly meet Heimu Qingyaâs fist; it was as light as breeze .
Boom!!!!
The moment this white ribbon that was as light as a feather brushed against Heimu Qingyaâs fist, an explosion erupted . It was in fact an earth-shattering power that caused Heimu Qingya to cry out loudly . All five of his fingers were broken and his entire body flew far away . A breeze of cold wind followed behind him and blew away all the Blackwood Stronghold disciples who were currently trying to rush over . Instantly, black figures filled the air, and like the transit of dense locusts, their wretched screams were unceasing .
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone at the scene . Those who were fighting also unanimously stopped⌠A white figure followed by icy spirits that fluctuated up and down in the sky slowly descended in front of Yun Che .
