Su Chen's expression remained indifferent, his gaze deep. He knew that this was an inevitable path for the growth of his Jianxin, and although he was reluctant, he could not defy the arrangement of fate.
What you said makes sense, but are you just going to watch him get bullied and do nothing?
The system said.
Su Chen glanced in the direction Chu Yu and his group had just left, and said calmly, "Didn't someone just say, 'Let's see if I dare to go to the Bai Continent to find him?'"
The moment he finished speaking, he had vanished from the spot.
Two weeks later.
Bai Prefecture.
The Bai Household.
Inside a grand hall, Bai Luo Xue knelt on the ground, head bowed, her face expressionless.
A middle-aged man sat in the main seat.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a solemn dark robe with a jade belt around his waist, exuding an air of majesty. He was tall and upright with broad shoulders and a sturdy back, radiating an aura of authority without anger.
This person was none other than Bai Zhenyue, the head of the Bai Household and Bai Luo Xue's father!
Beside Bai Zhenyue stood a woman with a gentle and dignified demeanor, a slender figure, and an air of elegance in every gesture.
She, of course, is Bai Luo Xue's mother, Lin Yao.
At this moment, the two of them were watching Bai Luo Xue.
Lin Yao's eyes were filled with heartache. She wanted to help Bai Luo Xue up, but stopped herself due to some concern.
Bai Zhenyue's face darkened slightly. "I told you to go out and clear your head, but you went to find a man. Don't you know you're engaged?"
Bai Luo Xue stubbornly retorted, "I don't like this marriage arranged by Father."
"Nonsense!"
Bang!
Bai Zhenyue slammed his hand on the wooden table, his face ashen, and said, "Is this something you can't control whether you like it or not?"
Bai Luo Xue gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want to sacrifice my future and happiness for your benefit."
"You bastard!"
Bai Zhenyue roared, and a terrifying power spread from his body, instantly filling the entire hall.
Lin Yao, who was standing to the side, was startled.
Bai Luo Xue's face turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color, but there was no fear in her eyes as she still chose to look directly at Bai Zhenyu.
Bai Zhenyue was furious, but remembering that she was his daughter, he restrained himself.
He took a deep breath, as if suppressing his anger, and looked at Bai Luo Xue, "Tomorrow, take a gift and ask Chu Yu for forgiveness."
Bai Luo Xue retorted indignantly, "Why should I!"
Bai Zhenyue coldly replied, "Because he's your fiancé!"
Bai Luo Xue said, "I don't admit it!"
Bai Zhenyue retorted angrily, "That's not up to you!"
Bai Luo Xue gritted her teeth, seemingly resigned to her fate, and declared, "I'm already his!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yao's expression changed drastically, and she realized she was doomed.
"What did you say!"
As expected, Bai Zhenyue, who had just suppressed his anger, erupted again. He stared intently at Bai Luo Xue, veins bulging on his forehead, and said in a gloomy voice, "What did you just say?"
Bai Luo Xue retorted, her hair standing on end, "I said I'm already his, everything that's happened between us has already happened!"
"You bastard!"
Bai Zhenyue flew into a rage, and an incredibly terrifying force swept towards Bai Luo Xue.
How could Bai Luo Xue withstand this terrifying power? She felt an irresistible force rushing towards her, and then her body instantly lost control. She was thrown away and crashed heavily into a stone pillar.
"Pfft!"
Bai Luo Xue felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a metallic taste instantly surged into her throat. She opened her mouth, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, tracing a shocking red arc in the air.
Her face turned deathly pale, but she didn't care. She looked at Bai Zhenyu with disbelief in her eyes.
She couldn't believe that her own father would lay a hand on her!
And they were so ruthless!
At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if countless silver needles were piercing it, so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Lin Yao was also stunned, staring blankly at Bai Zhenyue with disbelief in her eyes.
Bai Zhenyue seemed to realize his impulsiveness, but his face showed no remorse, remaining cold and angry. "Do you know the consequences of your actions?"
Bai Luo Xue's face no longer held any respect for Bai Zhenyue. "I know, but so what? What's done is done, and it can't be changed!"
"You!"
Bai Zhenyue's face flushed red, and he almost lost control again.
Bai Luo Xue sneered, "What? You want to attack me? Then go ahead! You might as well kill me. Anyway, in your eyes, I'm just a pawn for your own gain, dispensable."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenyue nearly coughed up blood. He glared at Bai Luo Xue and roared, "You unfilial daughter!"
Lin Yao then said, "Daughter, how can you say that to us? The marriage we arranged for you was all for your own good."
Bai Luo Xue looked at Lin Yao, "For my own good? Give me a break! If you really cared about me, you wouldn't force me to marry someone I don't like. All you care about is your own interests."
"Presumptuous!"
Bai Zhenyue roared, his voice echoing like thunder in the hall. His face was extremely grim, for he never expected that his daughter, whom he usually respected, would dare to defy him so blatantly, which made him feel that his authority had been challenged.
Lin Yao looked at Bai Luo Xue, her eyes filled with heartache and shock.
Bai Luo Xue's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile tinged with mockery and resolve. "I've had enough of being manipulated by you all."
Bai Zhenyue slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his anger. When he opened his eyes again, he looked at Bai Luo Xue with eyes full of disappointment.
He shook his head slightly. "Someone come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, four mysterious figures appeared in the arena. They were all dressed in black robes and wore masks, making it impossible to see their faces, but the aura emanating from them was incredibly terrifying.
None of these four were below the Immortal Sovereign Realm!
The four mysterious figures bowed respectfully to Bai Zhenyue, who sat in the main seat, and said, "Clan Chief!"
Bai Zhenyue looked at Bai Luo Xue, "Take her away and imprison her. She can be released to see me when she realizes her mistake."
"Yes, sir!"
The four mysterious figures nodded, then looked at Bai Luo Xue, who was slumped on the ground. One of them said, "Miss, come with us."
Bai Luo Xue gave a self-deprecating laugh, then slowly stood up, just as she was about to follow the four mysterious people.
A man suddenly walked in from outside the hall.
The man was dressed in white, tall and slender, with his white hair casually tied back. His appearance was stunning, flawless, and he seemed to have stepped out of a painting, exuding a cool and otherworldly aura...
