Considering Su Chenxiao's affection for her, if he woke up and she admitted her mistake, he would forgive her, right?

Su Yaohuang was unaware of Lin Qingran's thoughts.

She gave Lin Qingran a cold glance before turning to face the terrified survivors in Qingcheng.

She spoke with undeniable authority.

"Before my little brother wakes up, none of you are allowed to leave this place, not even half a step!"

With a gentle wave of her right hand.

"Boom!"

A Divine Flame of terrifying temperature, capable of incinerating the void, spread out.

It completely enveloped the martial arena.

Just being within this flame meant enduring the scorching heat.

After doing this, Su Yaohuang carried the unconscious Su Chenxiao directly into a building.

She waited there quietly for her parents to arrive.

Within the searing sea of flames.

The people of Qingcheng were still in shock.

Everything that had happened today was too sudden, it felt like a dream.

No one had expected that Su Chenxiao, who seemed to have no background, was actually supported by a powerful being from the Upper Realm!

"Qing-Qingran..."

A surviving elder from the Lin family crawled over, trembling.

His heart felt like it would leap out of his chest, unable to calm down. Filled with fear, he asked:

"Did that Su Chenxiao... ever mention he was from the Upper Realm?"

Many people had the same question in their hearts.

Judging by the other party's attitude, they weren't killing them yet, as if they intended to let Su Chenxiao decide when he woke up.

The other two families of Qingcheng were one thing.

The most terrified members of the Ye family in Qingcheng were already ashen-faced, collapsing onto the ground in despair.

They had been the ones who tortured Su Chenxiao the most in their attempt to curry favor with the Tianqi Dao Lineage!

Lin Qingran glanced at the elder beside her and shook her head.

"Qingran!" The elder grabbed her arm, pleading with tears in his eyes.

"I know you've always had a good relationship with that Su Chenxiao. When he wakes up, you must speak up for our Lin family!"

"You know our Lin family has never wronged Su Chenxiao!"

"We were also forced, coerced by the Tianqi Dao Lineage!"

If they had known this would happen, why would they have acted this way in the first place?

If they had known Su Chenxiao's background was so astonishing.

Who would have joined in to please the Tianqi Dao Lineage?

The members of Qingcheng's three great families regretted it immensely.

Even Lin Qingran herself had a complex expression. She bit her red lips and said:

"I... I'll try my best."

She felt surprisingly little emotion about her father's death.

Instead, Su Chenxiao's identity made her heart race and her mind whirl.

At worst, she would just go and apologize to Su Chenxiao.

She would say she was forced by Senior Brother Fang Yuancai.

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's promise, the elders of the Lin family were overjoyed, nodding repeatedly.

"Good! Good!"

"That would be best, that would be best!"

Even now, they held onto a sliver of hope.

With Su Chenxiao's kin arriving, his status and position were incomparable to what they were before.

If their Lin family could somehow align themselves with him, perhaps...

They wouldn't even need to consider the Four Great Dao Lineages!

One day later.

"Xiao'er, Xiao'er!"

Su Chenxiao seemed to hear someone calling him repeatedly.

During his deep slumber in the endless darkness, it felt as though many memories from his childhood were being unlocked and surfacing.

Su Chenxiao slowly opened his eyes, finding his vision somewhat blurry.

"Where is this..."

"Xiao'er! Xiao'er, you're awake?!" A voice filled with immense surprise reached him.

By the bedside, a beautiful woman with tear-streaked cheeks was overjoyed and quickly helped Su Chenxiao sit up.

Meanwhile, Su Wudao, who had been pacing restlessly in the room, trembled all over and walked over with a face full of guilt.

"Xiao'er!"

Looking at the two people before him, their appearances gradually overlapped with the memories that had just resurfaced in his mind.

He subconsciously called out.

"Father... Mother?"

The memories sealed before he was twelve years old had all been unlocked. He was the son of the Patriarch of the Su Clan, an imperial clan from the Upper Realm.

And these two were his biological parents.

Chen Wanyue's beautiful eyes couldn't hide her excitement as she covered her mouth and whispered, sobbing.

"My dear Xiao'er, you're finally awake. You scared this mother to death!"

Although Su Wudao's face showed no emotional fluctuations, his eyes were noticeably softer.

He slowly sat down, extended his large palm, and gently stroked Su Chenxiao's hair, saying in a deep voice.

"Good child, do you still remember your father?"

"Xiao'er, I've made you suffer in this lower realm..."

Su Chenxiao looked at the two before him, his head still feeling a bit groggy, and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanyue's expression turned cold.

She shot Su Wudao a cold glance and said.

"Su Wudao, how dare you say that?"

"If not for your Su family's detestable clan rules, would my Xiao'er have endured such a great calamity?"

Ever since arriving in the Cangshi Realm and witnessing Su Chenxiao's miserable state, Chen Wanyue had not given Su Wudao a single pleasant look.

Su Wudao also felt immense self-blame and guilt, nodding without denial.

"You are right... These rigid and harsh rules do need to be amended."

"My dear, Xiao'er seems to be fine now."

"I specifically brought the Creation Undying Pill."

"Let alone the fact that Xiao'er has now benefited from misfortune and awakened the Innate Chaos Divine Body, with the Creation Pill, even a powerful being whose feet are half in the grave could be pulled back from the gates of hell!"

Chen Wanyue did not reply. Instead, she turned to look at Su Chenxiao, her voice exceedingly gentle and full of loving concern as she asked.

"Xiao'er, how are you feeling now? Are you better?"

Su Chenxiao felt his current body.

His eyes lit up.

His blood-soaked clothes had been changed by someone.

Now, he felt his Blood Essence surging, his soul sea full and abundant, and all his injuries had long since healed.

Not only that.

Even his previously crippled bone structure and cultivation had been completely restored!

He had even directly leaped across a major realm!

Shattering Realm ninth level!

His body felt as if it had inexhaustible strength, better than ever before!

Looking at his parents, whose faces were filled with worried concern, a warm current surged in Su Chenxiao's heart.

"I'm much better now..."

"It's just... my head hurts a little," Su Chenxiao murmured, holding his forehead.

Hearing this, Su Wudao's stern face finally broke into a smile, and he said in a gentle voice.

"Xiao'er, you've just recovered the memories from before you were twelve. You'll need a little time to process them."

"My dear, Xiao'er has just woken up and his body is no longer in danger. Let's step out for a moment and let him have some quiet time alone."

Chen Wanyue also knew that her precious child had been away from her for many years and might still feel a bit estranged.

With a touch of reluctance, she cupped Su Chenxiao's cheeks.

Kissing his forehead with a face full of heartache and affection, she said, "Xiao'er, you've suffered so much in the lower realm all these years."

"Now that your memories have been unlocked, I know it might be difficult for you to accept..."

"Your father and I will go out first. Call us anytime if you need anything, alright?"

That warm sensation spread from his cheeks.

His mother's warmth made Su Chenxiao nod involuntarily, softly saying, "Mhm, I know."

The parents left the room.

Soon, the voice of his second sister, Su Yaohuang, could be heard from outside.

"Mother, little brother is awake?"

"I want to go in and see him!"

"Yaohuang, listen to Mother. We'll leave for now. Your little brother just recovered his memories; let him have some time to himself."

"Okay..."

Listening to the commotion outside, Su Chenxiao lowered his head and murmured.

"Is this what family feels like..."

"It feels pretty good."

In his past life, his parents had abandoned him long ago, and he didn't even know what they looked like.

The fortune teller had also said he was born with the fate of a lone star, destined for misfortune.

He thought this life would be the same, but unexpectedly, there were so many family members who cared about him.

Su Chenxiao smiled and withdrew his thoughts.

"System."

"Are you still alive?"

[Master, I am here.]

"Playback deduction. I want to see what happened while I was awakening my Innate Chaos Divine Body," Su Chenxiao said calmly.

[As you command, Master. The playback deduction function requires 100 Villain Points. Do you wish to consume them?]

"Consume them."

[Ding... Consumption successful. Current Villain Points: 9900]

[Playback commencing...]

Half an incense stick's time later.

"This jade bracelet... Su Chenxiao gave it to me!"

Su Chenxiao watched the deduction interface, his face devoid of emotion as he coldly sneered at Lin Qingran, who appeared as innocent as a white lotus.

"Heh..."

"You're quite something, Lin Qingran. I didn't expect you to survive."

Through the system's deduction playback, Su Chenxiao learned everything that had happened before.

Fang Yuancai had gotten off easy.

But there was still the main culprit, that damned bitch Lin Qingran, who had pushed him into a desperate situation. He hadn't forgotten her!

Lin Qingran was quite clever, knowing how to gloss over things by using their ambiguous relationship.

Su Chenxiao slowly stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go. Since I'm a villain who holds grudges, it's time to settle the score with those people!"

"If I'm a villain, I should have the awareness of a villain!"
