But, they could never have imagined that Su Chen had become this... this powerful!
Impossible to imagine!
They had felt some of the terror of Yu Jianlin, and were almost fainting from its intimidation.
But facing Su Chen? Yu Jianlin was defeated by him in just one move.
Just how powerful had Su Chen become?
Qing Jian also trembled in shock, her emotions a mixture of astonishment, pride, and admiration.
Her man, Qing Jian’s man, should be elder brother, shouldn’t he?
Accompanying Yu Jianlin, Sun E and Zhang Tun stood silently, swallowing their saliva and trembling.
They were just Yu Jianlin’s lackeys, mere Outer Sect Disciples of the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect.
Even inferior to Yu Jianlin.
At this moment, they were scared half to death; if Yu Jianlin was defeated in one move, how could they possibly be opponents for Su Chen?
In that icy, deathly stillness, for Yu Jianlin with the sword at his neck, every second felt like an eternity, unbearably difficult.
His face was pale, and sweat streamed down.
Finally, Su Chen spoke, "Do you remember what I said earlier?"
What had Su Chen said earlier? Of course, it was that Yu Jianlin should kneel and apologize, otherwise, he wouldn’t join the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect.
Su Chen would neither overestimate nor underestimate himself.
He knew clearly what he meant for the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect; even Shentu Ni, carrying the Pure Sword Physique and the title of Eternal Evil, was abandoned by that mysterious red-clothed woman all for him.
These three, Yu Jianlin, were just blindly loyal.
If Su Chen truly didn’t want to join the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, Yu Jianlin and his companions would definitely be burned by the sect’s fury.
"I remember, I remember..." Yu Jianlin’s voice trembled.
"Since you remember, then..." Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
Yu Jianlin clenched his teeth, and knelt to apologize!!!
For anyone, to kneel and apologize was an indescribable humiliation and dishonor.
How could Yu Jianlin be willing? But unwillingness could very well cost him his life.
For a moment, Yu Jianlin didn’t know what to do.
"What? Unwilling?" Su Chen smirked, his wrist moving slightly.
Suddenly, the Heavy Divine Sword moved closer to Yu Jianlin’s neck, and he felt a chilling sensation followed by a red cut appearing on his neck.
The sword scar was not too deep, at least not fatal, but was still significant.
"Ah!" Yu Jianlin instinctively covered his neck, stumbled, and completely lost composure, unable to hold back any longer and directly kneeling on the ground.
"I... I apologize, Miss, it... it... it was my fault before, please forgive me," Yu Jianlin kowtowed to Qing Jian, his voice trembling.
Qing Jian outright ignored him.
And Su Chen withdrew the Heavy Divine Sword.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Buddha Domain with you." Su Chen said indifferently, then he turned to Huo Shouying: "Master, please arrange for these three to be accommodated!"
After finishing his words, Su Chen left.
"Sister, you haven’t given me any guidance today!" Qing Jian quickly followed Su Chen as he departed.
Su Chen stayed in Gu Yuan’s room.
"Yuan’er, when you feel like you are about to give birth, have Master send someone to the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild in Nan’e Ancient Capital, inform Su Wanqing there, and she will naturally notify me," Su Chen said softly, holding Gu Yuan, his voice filled with reluctance.
Once he went to the Buddha Domain, unless it was something major, he definitely wouldn’t return to the Burning Heaven Sect often.
However, when Gu Yuan was giving birth, he absolutely had to return.
He wanted to be there for Gu Yuan during the most important moment in her life, and he wanted to see his child the moment they were born, even if he felt somewhat irresponsible as a father.
Normally, it would be very difficult, nearly impossible, for martial cultivators from the Four Great Ancient Nations to go to the Buddha Domain, but the Xuan Qing Commerce Guild had business there, which made it possible.
"Okay," Gu Yuan leaned into Su Chen’s arms, enjoying the warmth and sweetness.
"After I leave, you take good care of yourself," Su Chen kissed Gu Yuan’s forehead.
"Husband, go and spend some time with the Seventh Princess, Qing Wu, and the others!" Gu Yuan suddenly said, "You will leave tomorrow."
Su Chen did not refuse, as Gu Yuan said, tomorrow, he would be leaving.
"Wait until I have lulled you to sleep," Su Chen said with a smile, "Let me tell you a story!"
"Tell me about your adventures at the Prisoner Qing Relic Site," Gu Yuan said a bit playfully, she enjoyed listening to the stories of Su Chen’s experiences outside.
"Alright." Su Chen began to narrate slowly, while Gu Yuan, wearing a sweet smile, gradually fell asleep very peacefully.
Su Chen got out of bed quietly, laid Gu Yuan down comfortably, covered her properly with a blanket, and lastly, kissed Gu Yuan’s forehead with indulgence.
Leaving Gu Yuan’s room, Su Chen went to Seventh Princess Chu Xuan’s room.
Su Chen appeared in the Seventh Princess’s room as if by magic, where the Seventh Princess was sitting on the bed, not cultivating but daydreaming. She wore a thin silk nightgown, without any makeup, her brow slightly furrowed, looking lost in thought yet stunningly beautiful, breathtakingly so.
The noble aura of the Seventh Princess only accentuated her beauty more intensely.
"Brother Su..." The sudden appearance of Su Chen surprised, embarrassed, and delighted Chu Xuan. She lifted her face, which could topple cities and nations, staring at Su Chen with her clear, bright eyes.
"Xuan’er, I’m sorry," Su Chen sighed, "Following me has been hard on you."
The Seventh Princess was originally an Imperial Princess, the most cherished by the Xuanfeng Emperor.
With a noble identity and a lofty position. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
A myriad of adoration focused on her alone.
But by following him, she not only had to share his love with many other women.
He also rarely came back.
Su Chen was well aware of the loneliness and hardship the Seventh Princess often faced at the Burning Heaven Sect.
"Brother Su, I’m not suffering," Chu Xuan smiled, speaking somewhat happily, "Staying at the Burning Heaven Sect, I’m very content, Yuan’er, Jun Luo, Qing Wu, and the others treat me very well. What I most look forward to now is Little Shui Lan’s soon arrival; by then, I will also become a mother."
Shui Lan, naturally, was the child in Gu Yuan’s womb, a name personally given by Su Chen.
Chu Xuan loved children, especially the child in Gu Yuan’s womb.
In fact, not just her, but also Mo Qingwu, Ling Long, Xu Yaoyao, and other women were eagerly awaiting the birth of the child in Gu Yuan’s womb.
"Xuan’er, you love children so much, why don’t you have one yourself!" Su Chen said teasingly, his gaze becoming somewhat intense.
In an instant, Chu Xuan’s stunning face blushed deeply.
