Lin Fan nodded, and then left with Liu Mengli.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Su Chen fell into deep thought, "Where should I look for the remaining three?"
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes lighting up. "Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about him? Hasn't that guy always wanted to follow me? I'll give him a chance."
Demon Domain.
Illusion City
Su Chen walked down the street with his hands behind his back. Strangely, the Illusion City was no longer as bustling and prosperous as it used to be. There were far fewer people on the streets than before, and occasionally a few wisps of wind would quietly blow by, raising a little dust.
Furthermore, many places here have been damaged to varying degrees, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the pitted ground suggesting that a fierce battle has taken place.
Su Chen watched all this with an extremely calm expression, as if he didn't care about what had happened here before.
Pedestrians on the street glanced at Su Chen in surprise. He looked familiar, but they couldn't quite place him.
Su Chen went straight to the City Lord's Manor. He wanted to go in, but was stopped by two soldiers guarding the door.
One of the soldiers stared at Su Chen, frowning, and asked, "Who are you?"
He didn't use an accusatory tone; on the contrary, his tone was quite harmonious.
He wasn't stupid; just from Su Chen's clothes, demeanor, and appearance, he could tell that Su Chen was no ordinary person.
He knows how to treat different people and what attitude to use.
Su Chen said calmly, "I want to see your city lord."
Upon hearing this, the two soldiers exchanged a glance, then remained silent for a moment. One of them nodded and said, "Alright, please wait a moment."
Su Chen nodded calmly, without saying anything.
Only Su Chen and one soldier remained on the spot.
The soldier scrutinized Su Chen carefully, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Young master, why do you look so familiar?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, "Perhaps you've seen me before."
The soldier scratched the back of his head. "Really?"
Su Chen smiled and said nothing more.
A moment later, the soldier who went to report returned, accompanied by a woman.
The woman possessed a face that could topple kingdoms and a figure that was perfect; every move Human Heart.
The woman looked at Su Chen, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
Su Chen smiled slightly, "Miss Yue'er, it's been a long time."
Xiao Yue'er's heart skipped a beat. After a moment of silence, she said, "Didn't you leave?"
Su Chen said, "I have something to discuss with your father."
Xiao Yue'er frowned, hesitated briefly, and then said, "Then come with me."
Su Chen nodded, and then followed Xiao Yue'er into the City Lord's Manor.
The two soldiers breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Su Chen's departing figure.
"This young master is clearly no ordinary person. Luckily, we were polite just now, or we would be in big trouble."
"Who exactly is this young master? He looks so familiar."
"Right? You think it looks familiar too?"
You think so too?
"Hmm, but I can't remember right now."
"Holy crap, I remember now, isn't he that senior in white?"
"What! You mean that senior?"
"Yes!"
Now that you mention it, it really does seem to be that senior!
"That senior has actually returned! Does that mean there's hope for our Illusion City?"
"Is that even a question? Absolutely!"
On the way, Su Chen asked, "Miss Yue'er, what has happened to Illusion City recently? Why has it become like this?"
Xiao Yue'er said calmly, "Ask my father later."
Su Chen smiled slightly, "Okay."
Xiao Yue'er felt a pang of pain in her heart for some reason, but she still forced herself to remain calm and nodded.
Soon, Xiao Yue'er led Su Chen to the main hall.
Pushing open the door, one can see Xiao Jing sitting in the main seat, but Xiao Jing looks extremely weak, his face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
Xiao Ziyan was feeding him medicine.
Both of them looked out of the hall at the same time.
Xiao Ziyan forced a smile, "Young Master Su Chen."
His tone was tinged with sadness.
"Cough cough!"
Xiao Jing coughed twice, and both coughs brought up blood. This startled Xiao Yue'er, who rushed to his side and asked worriedly, "Father, are you alright?"
Xiao Jing shook his head slightly. "It's nothing."
As he spoke, he looked up at Su Chen and smiled, "Senior, you've seen my appearance, so I couldn't personally greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."
Su Chen casually found a seat and sat down, then said, "I remember I left not long ago, right? And you've gotten like this?"
Xiao Jing smiled wryly, "There's nothing I can do, things just happened too suddenly."
Su Chen said calmly, "If you don't treat this injury soon, you'll probably die."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue'er's expression immediately changed.
A complex emotion appeared on Xiao Ziyan's face.
"Well."
Xiao Jing sighed softly, "It seems there's nothing I can hide from you, Senior."
Xiao Yue'er exclaimed in surprise, "Father, what do you mean? Didn't you say your injuries weren't serious and that you'd recover quickly?"
Xiao Jing looked at her and said with a wry smile, "Silly girl, wasn't your father afraid of making you sad and upset?"
Xiao Yue'er's eyes immediately reddened, with tears welling up in them. "Then you shouldn't have lied to me."
As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Ziyan, "Sister, did you know too?"
Xiao Ziyan opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing, only nodding helplessly.
Xiao Yue'er angrily retorted, "How could you do this!"
Xiao Ziyan said, "My father and I were afraid you would be sad, so we didn't tell you."
Xiao Yue'er wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Xiao Jing coughed twice more, and his breathing became even weaker, as if his days were numbered.
Upon seeing this, both Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yue'er were startled.
Xiao Yue'er was so frightened that she cried, "Father, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Xiao Jing reached out and patted Xiao Yue'er's head. "Girl, if your father is gone, you should go to the Human Domain with Young Master Su Chen."
After saying that, he looked at Su Chen, his eyes pleading, "Is it okay?"
Su Chen looked at Xiao Jing but did not speak.
Xiao Yue'er suddenly said, "No! Father will be alright!"
As if remembering something, she quickly turned to look at Su Chen, crying, "Young Master Su Chen... you can save my sister, can't you save my father too? Please, please save my father!"
As she spoke, she knelt down.
It seems she's really in a hurry.
Seeing this, Xiao Ziyan immediately knelt down, pleading, "Young Master Su Chen, no matter the cost, I beg you to save my father!"
Xiao Jing took in all of this, his face filled with both heartache and relief.
How could he not know that Su Chen could save him?
He was mainly embarrassed to trouble others, so he didn't know how to ask.
What he didn't expect was that his two daughters would go to such lengths to save him, which truly broke his heart.
