Descent! The Su Family!

Seeing the enormous, towering Flying Boat in the sky, the Su Family members immediately began to panic.

Not only was a Flying Boat time-consuming and labor-intensive to forge, with an exorbitant cost, but every flight also required a vast quantity of crystals as fuel.

It could be said that every Flying Boat was a mobile gold-devouring beast!

Thus, across the entire Sky Profound Continent, only the most elite powers could possess a Flying Boat.

A family like theirs, tucked away in a corner of East Departure City, had never even seen a Flying Boat more than a few times, let alone owned one!

At present, no matter which force this Flying Boat belonged to, it was not something their tiny Su Family could contend with.

The Su Family Patriarch, Su Lie, reacted quickly. He rushed out of the council hall at once, and the other Su Family Elders followed him out.

Stepping outside, Su Lie and the others looked up to see a Flying Boat a full three hundred zhang long, its surface gleaming with cold metallic light, hovering above the Su Family.

Because the Flying Boat was so massive, it cast a sizable shadow across the ground.

A flag fluttered above the Flying Boat as well.

The flag had a black background, with a huge golden character written upon it: "Qin."

The Eternal Qin Family!

This was the Eternal Qin Family's Flying Boat!

Upon seeing that character, the Su Family members present were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.

Who on the Sky Profound Continent did not know of the Eternal Qin Family?

They were a colossal great family standing at the pinnacle of the Sky Profound Continent!

"Th-this... is the Qin Family's Flying Boat? On the Sky Profound Continent, there is only one Qin Family like that..."

Behind Su Lie, an Elder spoke slowly, his voice trembling.

As his words fell, the Su Family members felt as though darkness had descended before their eyes.

An overwhelming sense of unease rose in their hearts.

The Qin Family was a heaven-like existence on the Sky Profound Continent!

"The Qin Family... they are the family at the very peak of the Sky Profound Continent... Compared to them, pfft, our Su Family is not even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath!"

An Elder had originally wanted to compare the Qin Family with the Su Family, but the words had barely reached his lips before he realized that doing so would be giving the Su Family far too much credit.

If he had said something that boosted others' prestige while crushing his own side's spirit under ordinary circumstances, even as a Su Family Elder, he would have been met with furious glares from the clansmen.

Yet today, after he finished speaking, not a single person raised any objection.

Because it was the truth!

Their Su Family truly had no qualifications to compare itself with the Qin Family!

The strongest person in their Su Family was Patriarch Su Lie, who was only at the Spirit Sea Realm.

And the Spirit Sea Realm counted for nothing in the Qin Family!

"Patriarch... why would an existence like the Qin Family descend upon our tiny East Departure City?"

The Seventh Elder, Su Hai, swallowed nervously, his tone filled with deep unease.

Before an existence like the Qin Family, standing at the very pinnacle of the continent, he had completely lost his bearings.

If the Qin Family had come looking for trouble, then their Su Family would have no ability to resist whatsoever!

"I don't know... However, the only thing we can do is try our utmost to befriend them. We must not show even the slightest intention of defiance."

Su Lie, the Su Family Patriarch, also had no idea why the Qin Family had come to such a remote place, but his years of experience as Patriarch told him that they could only seek good relations with the Qin Family.

"We will heed the Patriarch's teachings!"

The remaining Elders behind Su Lie all voiced their assent.

At that moment, the Qin Family's Flying Boat had already come to a steady stop above the Su Family.

Two figures descended toward the Su Family members like shooting stars.

The Su Family members looked up and saw that the newcomers were an old man and a young man.

The young man wore a moon-white robe. He cut a striking figure, his face like polished jade, exceptionally handsome.

The old man wore a brown robe, his hands clasped behind his back and his expression grim. A heart-palpitating aura radiated from his body.

Seeing Qin Jiuge and Uncle Li, the Su Family members became even more terrified.

They could tell that both men possessed terrifying strength. Especially the old man—his aura was like a vast ocean, unfathomable and bottomless. Yet the Su Family could see that the old man regarded the young man as his superior.

Moreover, they had jumped down from the Flying Boat... Were they really here for the Su Family?

When had their Su Family become so remarkable that they could form ties with the Qin Family?

Patriarch Su Lie hurried forward and bowed. "Young Master, I am Su Lie, Patriarch of the Su Family. May I ask why you have come to our Su Family?"

"If it is within our power, everyone in the Su Family will certainly spare no effort!"

Seeing that Su Lie was so sensible, Qin Jiuge smiled lightly. "I am Qin Jiuge of the Qin Family. I heard that Su Family Patriarch's daughter, Su Xian'er, possesses peerless talent. As I happened to be passing through this area, I came down to take a look."

"Patriarch Su, could it be that you do not welcome me?"

Upon hearing Qin Jiuge's words, the Su Family members present were struck dumb with shock, their bodies trembling.

Qin Jiuge?

The Eternal Qin Family's Second Sequence, a genius of the younger generation with hopes of contending for the positions of Divine Son and Young Master—Qin Jiuge?!

What kind of figure was that?

It was no exaggeration to say that if they caused Qin Jiuge even the slightest dissatisfaction today, he could wipe out their Su Family with ease!

He had come for Su Xian'er?

He had heard of Su Xian'er?

Although Su Xian'er did have some talent, it was nothing in the Qin Family...

How could he possibly have come for Su Xian'er's talent?

Su Lie felt that his mind was no longer enough to process this. He stared at Qin Jiuge in disbelief, only suddenly coming to his senses after a long while.

If it was not for Su Xian'er's talent, then it had to be for...

Su Lie's mind raced, and he quickly sorted out the whole chain of events.

He knew his daughter Su Xian'er had some talent, but she was still far from worthy of catching the Eternal Qin Family's eye!

If there was anything about Su Xian'er that the Eternal Qin Family might value... it could only be her beauty, right?

At this thought, Su Lie secretly glanced at Su Xian'er.

She was a girl of sixteen, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, skin white as snow—truly a beauty capable of eclipsing all else.

In that case, Qin Jiuge had not come looking for trouble. He had taken a liking to Su Xian'er?

Su Lie and the Su Family Elders behind him all breathed a sigh of relief.

If Qin Jiuge had taken a liking to Su Xian'er, then it could only be said that it was Su Xian'er's fortune, and the Su Family's fortune!

They would not even dare dream of Su Xian'er becoming Qin Jiuge's principal wife...

Even if Su Xian'er could enter the Qin Family and become Qin Jiuge's concubine, it would be a blessing like smoke rising from their ancestral graves for the Su Family!

Countless families could only dream of such a good fortune!

At this thought, Patriarch Su Lie wore a smile blooming like a chrysanthemum as he respectfully said, "Not at all, not at all. Young Master Qin's visit to our Su Family brings glory even to our humble home."

"How could our Su Family possibly not welcome you?"

"Young Master Qin, please come inside!"
