Mu Xin didn't seem to care much about that; she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Husband, what... what happened?"
Su Chen understood what she wanted to ask, but before he could answer, Qiu Lan screamed from a distance.
"Husband... jun!"
Qiu Lan was completely devastated. Her little girl was only three years old; how could she call such a grown man "husband"?
"You bastard, how dare you lie to my daughter!"
Qiu Lan's face immediately filled with anger.
Liu Pei raised his hand and grabbed Su Chen directly, unleashing a powerful aura.
Mu Xin's use of that name made him realize that Su Chen was definitely a bad person who had deceived Mu Xin.
Mu Xin remained silent, simply clinging tightly to Su Chen.
Su Chen held him in his arms like a child, with one arm around him. Liu Pei's seemingly powerful attack seemed to be frozen in mid-air when he was about three meters away, unable to advance even an inch further.
Su Chen didn't explain; he simply took out a Token silently.
It was a silver Token that smelled of nine stars. The front had the words Nine Stars" on it, and the back had the words "Heaven Suppressing King ".
These people certainly don't know what the Heaven Suppressing King is, but they definitely know about the Nine Stars Empire. As a top power in the Central Continent, it must have vassals in the Barren Continent. Anyone with a little knowledge would know that.
Liu Pei looked at the Token, first stunned, then his brows furrowed, and finally his expression changed drastically.
Although he didn't know what level the Token belonged to, he could tell that it was Token from the Nine Stars Empire.
The stories of the Central Continent were practically legends in their Barren Continent. There were many books selling stories on the streets, which recorded the Nine Stars Empire and many other forces in the Central Continent.
Liu Pei asked in a somewhat serious tone, "Who... who are you?!"
Su Chen's voice was calm. "Nine Stars Empire, Heaven Suppressing King!"
It truly is Nine Stars Empire!
Liu Pei's expression Great Upheaval again. He had no doubts; he was now completely frozen in place, unable to mobilize any Spiritual Energy, which meant that Su Chen's strength was absolutely unfathomable.
Even more terrifying than his father, this kind of person is definitely a big shot.
The Nine Stars Empire is a behemoth that the Liu Family cannot afford to offend.
Even a dog there could wipe them out.
The Barren Continent is, after all, one of the Cloud Firmament Realm. Although it is relatively remote, powerful individuals occasionally come here.
"Nine Stars Empire!"
Qiu Lan was also dumbfounded. Was this some legendary power in the Central Continent?
As one of the top powers of the Human Race, especially in recent years, the Nine Stars Empire has undergone earth-shattering changes, which has led to the Nine Stars Empire being shrouded in myth in a relatively remote place like the Barren Continent.
Even so, Qiu Lan's expression was still very unpleasant. Regardless of Su Chen's identity, having a three-year-old girl as his wife didn't seem like the behavior of a good person, and it seemed like he belonged to a group with particularly unusual tastes.
Su Chen released Liu Pei, and just as he was about to speak, Mu Xin spoke first:
"Mother, I have something I want to tell you."
Qiu Lan looked at Mu Xin and found that her usually well-behaved and sensible daughter seemed unusually unfamiliar today.
Over the past two or three years, Mu Xin has come to fully accept Qiu Lan as her mother, but there are some things she needs to know: if Su Chen hadn't appeared, she would have stayed with Qiu Lan.
But Su Chen appeared, so she will leave with Su Chen.
This is inevitable.
In her heart, nothing weighed more than Su Chen.
Qiu Lan nodded as if possessed. "Okay."
The group headed towards the Liu Family's residence, but after only a few steps, they were stopped by a group of people. The leader, dressed in a blue robe, coldly surveyed Liu Pei and the others before finally fixing his gaze on Su Chen.
"Oh, so this is the important figure from the Nine Stars Empire?"
Liu Pei's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "Liu Xing, what are you doing here?"
Liu Xing sneered, "This is the Liu Family. Is there any place I can't go?"
"As for you, this isn't the first time you've brought unidentified people back to the Liu Family, is it? Do you know what the Nine Stars Empire means? If those big shots find out, even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough for the Liu Family to die."
"You believe it just because someone says it's the Nine Stars Empire? Should I call you stupid, or naive?"
Liu Xing's words were full of sarcasm, which immediately made Liu Pei's face darken.
Liu Pei looked coldly at Liu Xing, finally spitting out a single word through gritted teeth. "Get lost!"
He didn't know if Su Chen was from the Nine Stars Empire, but the other party was very strong, no weaker than the Liu Family Head. No matter his status, this kind of person was absolutely not to be offended.
When Liu Xing heard Liu Pei tell him to get lost, his face immediately darkened.
You dare tell me to get out?
"Liu Pei, it seems you are unaware of the situation. The Elders Council has decided to hand over the management of Ju Cai Lou to me. From now on, the position of Family Head is no longer yours."
What!
Liu Pei was immediately startled. This Ju Cai Lou was his last possession. Without it, he would lose all his confidence.
"How could that be? How could my Second Uncle possibly agree to that!"
His Second Uncle has always been a staunch supporter of him.
Liu Xing sneered, "Why not?"
He seemed too lazy to talk to Liu Pei, that fool, and walked straight towards Su Chen: "Kid, you think you're from the Nine Stars Empire?"
Su Chen glanced at him indifferently, then asked teasingly, "Have you heard of the Nine Stars Empire?"
Liu Xing's tone was utterly cold. "It's not just that I've heard of them, it's that they're legendary. In our Barren Continent, those powerful forces in the Central Continent are like characters from a mythological story."
"However... you can't possibly be from the Nine Stars Empire."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Liu Xing began to analyze rationally. "Which important figure who comes to our Barren Continent doesn't make a grand entrance, almost becoming the talk of the Barren Continent? Even the Immortal of our Barren Continent personally greet them. Yet you are so ordinary. If you were truly an important figure from the Nine Stars Empire, how could you be so low-key? Do you really think you're on a secret visit?"
As he spoke, he looked at Su Chen with a mocking gaze, as if he were looking at a clown.
Su Chen nodded silently. "Your analysis makes sense, but unfortunately you overlooked one thing."
Liu Xing asked instinctively, "What is it?"
Su Chen looked up at him coldly. "Before you cause me trouble, find out the situation first."
As soon as the words were spoken, a human head was thrown out, spinning in the air before falling to the ground with a thud.
Liu Xing's eyes were filled with confusion; before he could even react, he had already perished.
