Xiao Jing's eyes gradually reddened, and his words of emotion choked in his throat.
Su Chen didn't rush to respond. Instead, he slowly picked up the teapot on the table next to him, took a sip, and then said, "Tell me what has happened during this time?"
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance.
Xiao Ziyan suddenly said, "Let me speak."
She took a deep breath, her hands gradually clenching into fists, revealing her inner turmoil. "Not long after you left, the Fire Phoenix Clan attacked again. Strangely, this time the Ice Phoenix Clan Fire Phoenix Clan with them, and it seems the Ice Phoenix Clan has submitted to the Fire Phoenix Clan. Logically, this is impossible, because the Fire Phoenix Clan no longer has Immortal Emperor Immortal Emperor, while the Ice Phoenix Clan has three. So why would the Ice Phoenix Clan submit to the Fire Phoenix Clan? This is very strange, but later we understood why."
At this point, her expression turned somewhat solemn, "Because the Fire Phoenix Clan also has Immortal Emperor! And that Immortal Emperor is none other than the newly appointed Fire Phoenix Clan Chief, Feng Yu! What shocked us all was that Feng Yu wasn't just Early Immortal Emperor, but Peak Immortal Emperor! And his strength is even greater than my father's!"
Su Chen calmly took a sip of tea, his expression showing no surprise.
Xiao Yue'er said in a deep voice, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that someone could break through from the Immortal Sovereign Ninth Layer to the Peak Immortal Emperor in such a short time."
She looked on in disbelief. "How did he do that? It's unbelievable."
Xiao Jing's heart sank. "When I fought him, I found that he was exceptionally strong, so strong that even I was no match for him. If it weren't for my own strength, I probably would have been dead long ago."
Xiao Ziyan looked at Su Chen and asked, "Young Master Su Chen, do you know what's going on?"
Su Chen looked up at her and slowly said, "I know."
Upon hearing this, all three of them turned to look at him.
Su Chen remained calm. "If I'm not mistaken, he made a deal with someone."
Xiao Jing's expression turned serious. "Who is it?"
Su Chen calmly replied, "They came from outside."
"From outside?"
Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yue'er frowned, not understanding what Su Chen meant.
Upon hearing these four words, Xiao Jing's pupils constricted, and the shock on his face was clearly visible.
It seems he knows something. Of course, as Peak Immortal Emperor, the ceiling of the entire Immortal Realm, he must know a little about certain things.
Su Chen put down his teacup and said calmly, "There are some things you don't need to know right now."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up and then came to Xiao Jing's side. "Your injuries are quite severe. If I hadn't intervened, you would have died."
Xiao Jing smiled wryly, "I was careless at the time and he ambushed me."
Su Chen didn't say anything more, but took out a pill, and then flicked it with two fingers, sending the pill flying into Xiao Jing's mouth.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a warm current that flowed throughout his body, and in just a short while, all his injuries had healed.
Xiao Jing was utterly shocked. "What kind of pill is this? It's incredibly powerful!"
He was truly shocked, because he knew his injuries all too well; they were extremely serious and couldn't be treated with ordinary pills. Only exceptionally good pills could cure him, but such pills were very rare, and even he didn't have a single one.
Moreover, even if such a pill existed, it wouldn't be able to heal his injuries in an instant, but the pill that Su Chen fed him could!
That's absolutely incredible!
Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yue'er were shocked to see Xiao Jing had recovered, then excited. They rushed to Xiao Jing's side and exclaimed in unison, "Father!"
Xiao Jing snapped out of his daze, looked at his two daughters, and felt a surge of relief. "Father is alright now."
The two women were moved to tears.
Xiao Jing reached out and patted the two women on the shoulders, smiling slightly, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Xiao Yue'er said through tears, "That's good."
She looked at Su Chen and immediately prepared to kneel down, but a mysterious force lifted her up, preventing her from kneeling.
Su Chen looked at her and said calmly, "Even if you didn't beg me, I would still save him, because I still have things I need him to do."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing immediately replied, "Senior, please speak. Whatever it is, I will do my utmost to handle it!"
Su Chen smiled faintly, "Didn't you say you wanted to follow me? I'll give you this chance."
Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Really?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Of course."
Without hesitation, Xiao Jing clasped his hands in a respectful bow, "From now on, my life belongs to you, Senior. If you command me to die, I will die without hesitation!"
Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yue'er's expressions changed, "Father!"
Su Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, it's not that bad."
Xiao Jing smiled and then said, "Is there anything I can help you with, senior?"
His expression was extremely solemn, because he knew very well that the task Su Chen had asked him to do was by no means simple; if it were simple, Su Chen wouldn't have asked him to do it.
Su Chen said, "I have an academy called Yingtian Academy. Currently, the academy's Martial Institute is short of a vice dean, and I would like you to take the position."
Upon hearing this, all three people in the room were stunned.
Xiao Jing was the first to regain his senses and nodded, saying, "No problem."
Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief.
They were just worried that Su Chen would assign Xiao Jing a very difficult task, but it turned out he was going to teach students.
Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I've never taught anyone..."
Su Chen laughed and said, "It's alright, you'll get it with more instruction."
Xiao Jing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Ziyan said, "But Father, if you leave, what will happen to Illusion City? The Fire Phoenix Clan will definitely come again."
Xiao Jing frowned and said, "I almost forgot about that."
Su Chen said, "I'll take care of the Fire Phoenix Clan."
Xiao Jing smiled and said without any hesitation, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior!"
That's exactly what he was waiting to hear!
As long as Su Chen makes a move, the outcome is assured!
Forget about the Fire Phoenix Clan, they all have to die!
This shows his confidence in Su Chen!
Xiao Yue'er then asked, "Young Master Su Chen, can my sister and I become students at the academy?"
She looked slightly nervous.
Xiao Ziyan glanced at her younger sister, and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Su Chen's gaze fell on Xiao Yue'er, and he smiled, "Of course, you're welcome."
Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Ziyan smiled simultaneously and said in unison, "Thank you."
Su Chen continued, "I'll build a teleportation array for you all, leading to the academy. Send any promising talents there, but remember, don't send those with questionable character."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing immediately became excited, "If that's the case, that's wonderful!"
