The other party's terrifyingly formidable background.
In the end, it made him submit.
Ye Xiao closed his eyes in anguish.
Endure for a moment and the wind will be calm; take a step back and the sea will stretch wide.
But Su Chenxiao's razor-sharp words were no different from a keen blade!
They ruthlessly tore apart the inferiority buried deep within Ye Xiao's heart, leaving a crack in his Dao Heart.
Crack.
Ding! Destined Protagonist Ye Xiao had fallen into self-doubt, and a crack had appeared in his Dao Heart. Destiny Value -5000! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained 5000 Villain Points!
At this moment, Elder Qing in the distance seemed to sense something and sent a Divine Sense Transmission.
"Young Master, outsiders have entered this realm."
"Two of them. One is in the Ascension Realm, and one is in the Saint Realm. The Saint's Divine Sense on this boy was left by one of them."
Oh?
They had arrived rather quickly.
Su Chenxiao raised a brow and looked at Ye Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, speaking with a hint of amusement.
"Ye Xiao, there is something you probably still do not know."
"You think everything you have achieved today came entirely through your own efforts..."
"But in truth, what you relied on was nothing more than the background you so disdain."
Ye Xiao froze at his words. He raised his head and looked at Su Chenxiao, his face full of confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly.
A terrifying Saint's pressure surged through the Cloud Realm.
"The aura of the Saint Realm... A Saint has descended upon our Cloud Realm!"
"Sect Master! What is going on?!"
Upon sensing that aura, Tianxuan Sect Master Yuan Fengxiao's pupils contracted. As though he had thought of something, he said quietly.
"That senior has come!"
"The person behind Ye Xiao!"
"What?! A Saint stands behind Ye Xiao?!" The elders present all wore expressions of disbelief.
Yuan Fengxiao nodded, his gaze grave.
"Back when Ye Xiao had only recently joined the Tianxuan Sect, a Saint Realm expert came here."
"That senior knew Ye Xiao had an impulsive temperament. He gave me pills to break through my realm and asked me to look after him well."
"The reason I have protected and cared for this boy so much is precisely because of this..."
The Saint standing behind Ye Xiao was likely from some powerful orthodoxy among the heavens.
However.
This was troublesome now.
After all, the one currently within the Tianxuan Sect was a colossal figure of the heavens—the Young Master of the supreme Imperial Clan Su Family!
A streak of golden divine radiance shot rapidly through the distant sky.
"I want to see who dares touch my brother!"
An elderly woman with an astonishing aura, whose cultivation had reached the Saint Realm, appeared here alongside a young girl.
The girl's features were exquisite and lovely, her skin as smooth as congealed cream, her bright eyes and white teeth enchanting. Her figure was light and slender, like a flower bud about to bloom, while her pale blue dress fluttered in the wind.
Though the girl was young, the outlines of her breathtaking beauty had already begun to show.
Given time, she would surely become another woman capable of stunning the world.
The moment she arrived, Ming Suyuan's beautiful eyes flickered as she swiftly searched for Ye Xiao.
"Granny Qian, is Brother Ye here?"
Su Chenxiao looked up, narrowing his eyes.
Name: Ming Suyuan Title: Destined Female Lead of the "Heaven-Defying Martial Emperor" Identity: Daughter of the patriarch of a Hidden Ancient Clan, half-demon Age: 17 Realm: Ascension Realm Sixth Layer Physique: Nine-Tailed Demon Physique (bloodline of the Ancient Great Ominous Beast, Nether Nine-Tails) ... Name: Qian Wu Identity: Protector of the Hidden Ancient Clan Ming Family Realm: Saint Realm Seventh Layer
Su Chenxiao looked at the panels above the two of them and said with interest.
"Interesting. Ye Xiao's Destined Female Lead..."
When Ye Xiao saw the young girl above, he looked rather disbelieving and murmured.
"Yuan... Yuan'er?"
At the same time, Ming Suyuan found Ye Xiao among the crowd.
The instant she saw Ye Xiao kneeling on the ground with a pale face, her expression turned ice-cold, and she rushed straight down from the sky!
"Let Brother Ye go!"
"Don't come over, Yuan'er!" Ye Xiao's expression changed drastically.
Elder Qing, who had been inside the pavilion, moved and appeared beside Su Chenxiao in an instant.
"A mere Hidden Ancient Clan dares offend Young Master?"
"Get lost!"
In an instant, incomparably terrifying Quasi-Emperor pressure blasted forth!
Ming Suyuan seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and her entire body was sent flying uncontrollably!
"Miss!" Granny Qian appeared behind her and immediately unleashed the power of the Saint Realm to block it.
Yet before the power of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, she was in no better condition, supporting Ming Suyuan from behind as they were driven back step by step.
Granny Qian's expression changed drastically.
"A Quasi-Emperor?!"
"You are... the Shadow Guard Commander of the Imperial Clan Su Family, Shu Qinghe?!"
Granny Qian's pupils trembled wildly. Upon seeing a major figure like Elder Qing in this tiny Tianxuan Sect, her mind was utterly shaken!
"How could the Su Clan Shadow Guard appear here?!"
Elder Qing spoke in an icy, emotionless voice.
"Must our clan explain itself to you when our Young Master is handling matters?"
"Come over and pay respects to Young Master!"
With a grasp of his hand, he suddenly unleashed a heaven-shaking divine ability toward Granny Qian.
Before the Quasi-Emperor Realm, even the Saint Realm was as insignificant as an ant!
An Imperial Clan Young Master?!
Could it be...
Granny Qian immediately looked toward the peerlessly elegant youth in the arena. Her face turned pale as she hurriedly explained.
"This old woman is from the Hidden Ancient Clan Ming Family. The one beside me is the Daughter of the Ming Family Patriarch. We had no intention of offending you, and I ask Young Master Su for forgiveness!"
"Enough." At that moment, Su Chenxiao raised his hand to interrupt her, smiling as he looked at the two of them.
"So you are from the ancient Ming Family. It was a misunderstanding. Elder Qing, stop."
After Su Chenxiao spoke, that overwhelmingly terrifying Quasi-Emperor aura abruptly vanished.
Granny Qian gasped for breath.
She had never imagined that, in such a tiny realm, she would encounter someone from an Imperial Clan!
Moreover, a Quasi-Emperor expert of the Imperial Clan Su Family was protecting him by his side!
At such an age, for him to receive such treatment, his identity was plainly obvious...
The son of the Su Family Patriarch and the Chen Family's Imperial Daughter, Su Chenxiao!
"This old woman, Qian Wu, greets Young Master Chen Xiao!"
Su Chenxiao was slightly startled, then laughed. "You know me?"
Granny Qian cupped her hands with utmost respect. "Young Master's great name is naturally known to our Hidden Ancient Clans!"
Su Chenxiao waved a hand and glanced indifferently at Ye Xiao, who was kneeling beside him, before speaking.
"Alright, did you come here because of this fellow?"
"The Saint's Divine Sense on this boy must have been left by you as well, I presume?"
A bad feeling rose in Granny Qian's heart.
She looked at the Tianxuan Sect disciples kneeling on the ground, as well as Ye Xiao. Having lived long enough to become shrewd as a demon, she understood what had happened in an instant.
This troublemaker!
She hurriedly distanced herself from him.
"In reply to Young Master, when our young lady was in the lower realm, she once received this person's kindness."
"But this boy is rash by nature. No matter where he goes, he causes trouble. My young lady has cleaned up after him and dealt with the hidden dangers more than once."
"I never expected him to offend Young Master Su."
"I will take Miss away immediately!"
Su Chenxiao waved his hand and said with a smile.
"No rush. Since you are already here, why not stay and watch a good show?"
"Ye Xiao, do you see?"
"Whenever you are in danger, someone appears to help you."
"If they had not secretly helped you, with your temperament, how many episodes do you think you would have survived?"
Even so, this was merely standard equipment for a Destined Protagonist.
Ye Xiao clenched his fists as he knelt on the ground, humiliation filling his heart.
With his pride, he had never wanted Ming Suyuan to see him in such a sorry state.
He lowered his head and said coldly.
"I do not know her at all!"
"I, Ye Xiao, have come this far solely through my own efforts. I do not need her help at all!"
Ding! Destined Protagonist Ye Xiao had developed a rift toward Destined Female Lead Ming Suyuan. Destiny Value -1000! Congratulations, Master, you have obtained 1000 Villain Points!
