At this moment, Su Chen remained calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever, like a still lake. He ignored Lin Yao and the others' pleas for mercy, instead staring intently at Bai Zhenyue in his hands.
Seeing Su Chen remain unmoved, Lin Yao panicked instantly, her face turning deathly pale, filled with terror and pleading. As if remembering something, she suddenly looked at Bai Luo Xue not far away, " Luo Yao, please save your father!"
Bai Luo Xue glanced at Lin Yao, then looked away, appearing very indifferent and seemingly not worried about Bai Zhenyue at all.
Lin Yao cried and said, "No matter how wrong your father was just now, he's still your father! You can't just stand by and watch him die!"
However, Bai Luo Xue didn't even glance at her this time.
Lin Yao felt a sense of despair. She bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face as if they were free.
At that moment, she was in despair!
But at that moment, Su Chen suddenly swung his right hand, throwing Bai Zhenyue away. With a loud "bang," Bai Zhenyue slammed into the wall.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Bai Zhenyue's mouth, and his breath became extremely weak in an instant, but he didn't care at all and slowly broke free from the wall.
"My husband!"
Lin Yao quickly got up and went to Bai Zhenyue's side. Just as she was about to help him up, Bai Zhenyue stopped her and shook his head to indicate that it wasn't necessary.
Seeing this, Lin Yao had no choice but to give up, looking at Bai Zhenyue with a worried expression.
In the distance, Bai Luo Xue gradually loosened her clenched fists. Her palms were already covered in cold sweat, and her fingertips were white; clearly, her previous indifference was an act.
"Cough cough!"
Bai Zhenyue coughed twice, his face pale, but he didn't care. Instead, he limped over to Su Chen Su Chen, knelt down, and weakly said, "Thank you for your mercy, senior."
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank your daughter. If it weren't for her, you would already be dead the moment I made my move."
Bai Zhenyue remained silent for a long time. Then, he looked at Bai Luo Xue with a face full of apology and said, " Luo Xue, I was wrong just now. I apologize to you. I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive me."
Bai Luo Xue's expression was cold as she turned her head away, ignoring Bai Zhenyue. What Bai Zhenyue had done before had completely chilled her heart.
Bai Zhenyue gave a wry smile, knowing that he had indeed gone too far. He sighed softly and then said, "I will go and annul your engagement. It's your life, and you will make your own decisions. I will not force you to do anything anymore; I will respect your choices."
After hearing Bai Zhenyue's words, Bai Luo Xue was clearly moved. She looked at Bai Zhenyue, hesitated for a moment, and then asked uncertainly, "Really?"
Bai Zhenyue smiled, "Really!"
Bai Luo Xue was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Alright, I believe Father."
Lin Yao, watching this scene from a distance, smiled.
Bai Luo Xue then looked at Su Chen and bowed respectfully, "Thank you so much Senior Su, Luo Xue sparing my father. I am deeply grateful."
Su Chen said calmly, "You are my disciple's future wife, how could I possibly kill your father?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo Xue's face immediately flushed Hong Yun, her heart raced, and she became extremely shy.
Bai Zhenyue's eyes gleamed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. His previously terrible mood had turned into one of immense joy and excitement.
If Luo Xue marries the powerful figure's disciple, wouldn't that mean my Bai Household can also curry favor with him?
If we can latch onto the coattails of our senior, my Bai Household will surely become one of the strongest forces in the entire Immortal Realm!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenyue felt even more excited and thrilled.
Su Chen suddenly said to Bai Luo Xue, "I just asked you to promise me something, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Bai Luo Xue nodded quickly, "I haven't forgotten."
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, " Senior Su, what do you want me to promise?"
Su Chen didn't rush to answer, but sat back down in his previous seat before saying, "I need you to make a ten-year promise."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo Xue's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and she asked in confusion, "A ten-year agreement?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Mm."
Bai Luo Xue paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Chen said, "Before I explain, I have a question for you."
Bai Luo Xue nodded and said, "Please speak, senior."
Su Chen slowly asked, "Could you refrain from contacting Jianxin for ten years?"
Bai Luo Xue was stunned, her brows furrowing slightly. "Ten years without contacting Jianxin? Why would you do that?"
Su Chen said, "Just tell me if you can do it?"
Bai Luo Xue remained silent for a long time before finally shaking her head and saying, "It might be impossible."
Su Chen nodded. "If I said this is helping Jianxin grow, would it still be possible to do so?"
Bai Luo Xue was taken aback and remained silent.
Su Chen said calmly, " Jianxin's progress is still too slow. I hope he can grow up faster."
Bai Luo Xue was silent for a moment, then said, "Does that mean I have to not contact him for ten years?"
Su Chen slowly said, "That's not all. I also want you to announce to the public that you will marry your fiancé in ten years."
Bai Luo Xue frowned, lost in thought, and finally said, "I think I understand what you mean, Senior."
Su Chen nodded and asked, "So, are you willing?"
Bai Luo Xue bit her lip, then took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "If it can help Jianxin, then I'm willing."
Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. "It seems you really like that little guy."
Bai Luo Xue's face instantly turned bright red, like a vibrant red rose. Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Senior, I followed Jianxin for a while and noticed that he has been cultivating very diligently."
Su Chen shook his head and said, "There's not enough time."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo Xue looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Su Chen smiled calmly, "You'll understand ten years from now."
Seeing that Su Chen was unwilling to say more, Bai Luo Xue did not choose to ask any further. In any case, she had already guessed what might happen ten years later, and this matter required Jianxin to resolve.
Su Chen suddenly said, "I've thought about it, and I think it's better to have your father announce this. That way, he'll mistakenly believe you were forced."
Bai Luo Xue said with a wry smile, "Senior, you're too ruthless."
Su Chen shook his head slightly and said, "There's no other way but to be ruthless."
He continued, "During these ten years, you must not be idle. You must cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Immortal Emperor."
"Ah?"
Bai Luo Xue's eyes widened. "Senior, you want me to break through to Immortal Emperor within ten years? Isn't that ridiculous? I don't have that kind of talent."
Su Chen smiled calmly, then extended a finger towards Bai Luo Xue. The next moment, a golden light flew out from his fingertip and finally merged into Bai Luo Xue's brow.
boom!
