Sui Shen Yao had just been hanging her head. Now she raised it, clutching Aurora's robe, her gaze still chaotic and helpless.
"As long as you go out, everyone will understand that you and Tianming defied the Sui Shen Clan and secretly tasted the forbidden fruit. This is something that gravely damages the Sui Shen Clan's honor. The elders will probably cough up blood, and there's no need to mention Sui Shen Yue's side—they'll definitely be angered to death on the spot. It could even stir up a massive storm of public opinion throughout Myriadpath Valley. This... may have an even greater impact than Tianming obtaining the two great inheritances! Nothing like this has ever happened in Myriadpath Valley..."
After Aurora finished speaking, she embraced Sui Shen Yao. Her eyes were red-rimmed as she kept apologizing.
"Will we... die?" Sui Shen Yao was not as fragile as Aurora had imagined. She stared blankly for a while before asking Aurora.
As she spoke, she glanced at Li Tianming.

Aurora drew a deep breath and said, "Your father is someone who cares immensely about his reputation. Precisely because of that, he could never change your marriage arrangement. For someone who values prestige so highly, what happened to you is equivalent to dealing him a fatal blow. He will definitely be the most enraged one. All along, his attitude toward Tianming has been ambiguous. Once he learns of this 'mistake,' I'm afraid that even if someone tries to stop him, he'll kill him on the spot, and conveniently resolve the trust issue with the Hellfiend Clan and the Qitian Clan."
"He must die?" Sui Shen Yao trembled all over. She had still harbored some resentment toward Li Tianming before, but seeing him like this now, she could no longer blame him at
