Ye Ningshuang snapped out of her daze, her face instantly turning bright red, her eyes filled with shyness. "Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Lan said, "Am I talking nonsense? They've already gone quite a distance, and you're still staring at them longingly."
Ye Ningshuang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes darting around in a panic, not daring to meet Ye Lan's gaze, her hands unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.
"I..." She wanted to argue, but didn't know how, and could only lower her head shyly in the end.
"Sigh~"
Ye Lan sighed deeply, her expression complex. "What exactly did that kid do to you during this time? How could you be so infatuated with him?"
Ye Ningshuang bit her lip lightly, "I... I didn't..."
Ye Lan stared at her, "Do you really think your father can't tell?"
Ye Ningshuang opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing Ye Ningshuang's expression, Ye Lan was furious and immediately said, "Although I don't know what that brat has done to you lately, if he treats you badly in the future, does anything to upset you, or betrays you, I will never let him get away with it!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, perhaps you should take back what you said."
Ye Lan raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "What? Do you think your father won't be able to beat him in the future?"
Ye Ningshuang was reluctant to discourage Ye Lan Ye Lan, but to prevent him from doing anything foolish in the future, she finally said, "Actually... actually, you probably can't beat him even now, let alone in the future."
She was being rather subtle, using the word "maybe," otherwise she was genuinely afraid Ye Lan wouldn't be able to accept it.
Ye Lan was amused by Ye Ningshuang's words, "You're saying Father can't beat him?"
Ye Ningshuang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes!"
Seeing that his daughter didn't believe in his strength, Ye Lan felt a pang of sadness. Despite this, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Daughter, don't you know your father's strength? I'm Peak Immortal Emperor! How could I possibly be defeated by a mere brat?"
Ye Ningshuang looked conflicted, wondering whether she should tell Ye Lan the truth.
Ye Lan said in a deep voice, "If you have something to say, just say it. I promise I won't let my guard down."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang stopped dwelling on it, pointed to Han Shousong's corpse, and then pointed to Sun Gu's.
A hint of doubt appeared in Ye Lan's eyes as she asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "They were all killed by Su Chen."
Ye Lan's expression instantly froze, then her eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "You... you're saying Han Shousong and Sun Gu... were both killed by that kid?"
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ye Lan immediately shook her head in denial.
He truly couldn't believe it. You see, Han Shousong and Sun Gu were both at the Peak Immortal Emperor and the Late-stage Immortal Emperor, respectively, making their strength quite terrifying.
Where is Su Chen?
He's just a young lad, not even a thousand years old; to him, he's just a little kid.
How could a little kid defeat Han Shousong and Sun Gu?
How is that possible?
Unless he's still half asleep and dreaming!
Ye Ningshuang said earnestly, "Everything I said is true."
Seeing that Ye Ningshuang didn't seem to be lying, Ye Lan's heart wavered a little, because he knew that Ye Ningshuang, as his daughter, wouldn't lie to him.
But isn't that a bit too much?
Whose good family member breaks through that realm at the age of one hundred?
Ye Lan asked in a low voice, "Daughter, do you know what their strength is?"
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "I know, but they were indeed killed by Su Chen. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people from the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."
Ye Lan frowned, remained silent for a moment, then looked at the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect experts around him and asked, "Your sect leader and Han Shousong were killed by that man in white?"
Those experts from the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect dared not lie, and they nodded hastily; not one of them shook their head.
Seeing this, Ye Lan fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. At this moment, he already believed that Su Chen had killed Han Shousong and Sun Gu.
His daughter really wasn't lying to him!
But how could that be???
What gave Su Chen the ability to kill Han Shousong and Sun Gu?
On what grounds?
How old is he?
How strong is he?
Unless he is Immortal Emperor!
But is it possible for such a young Immortal Emperor?
Never before in history has such a young Immortal Emperor appeared!
Moreover, even if he were Immortal Emperor, he couldn't possibly kill Han Shousong and Sun Gu, because he was Immortal Emperor and knew very well how difficult it was to kill someone of the same realm.
Even Peak Immortal Emperor couldn't do that!
So, what makes Su Chen capable of doing that?
Could he be above even the Immortal Emperor?
Please!
What kind of joke is this?
Above the Immortal Emperor, this is something that beings in the Immortal Realm cannot even imagine.
But if they weren't above the Immortal Emperor level, how did Su Chen manage to kill those two?
Ye Lan's mind was in a state of confusion, even somewhat bewilderment.
He couldn't understand it.
I really don't understand.
Were they all lying to themselves?
That shouldn't be the case. Even if the people from the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect lied to her, Ye Ningshuang wouldn't lie to him. After all, he's her own father!
What kind of child would lie to their own father?
So what exactly happened?
Ye Lan suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Ye Ningshuang suddenly said, "Father, to tell you the truth, what realm is Su Chen at?"
Ye Lan was stunned, and asked uncertainly, "That realm? Immortal Emperor?"
Ye Ningshuang shook her head and said, "It's above the Immortal Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan's expression immediately turned incredulous. "Are you kidding me? That brat is above the Immortal Emperor level?"
Ye Ningshuang said earnestly, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed he was above the Immortal Emperor level."
Ye Lan remained silent, then glanced at the people from the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect.
When the people from the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect saw Ye Lan looking at them, they nodded repeatedly, indicating that what Ye Ningshuang said was true.
Ye Lan was completely numb!
He truly never dreamed that Su Chen would reach that level!
Above even the Immortal Emperor!
He was actually above the Immortal Emperor!
Holy crap!
Did that kid open it?
Ye Ningshuang then said, "Father, that's why you shouldn't go looking for trouble with him in the future, otherwise... otherwise I'm really afraid he'll turn around and beat you up."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan's face flushed red instantly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. However, he couldn't refute it because Ye Ningshuang was telling the truth, so he was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Ningshuang comforted him, "Father, he's a monster, beyond our comprehension. Please don't overthink it."
"Sigh~"
Ye Lan sighed, "To be honest, if anyone else had told me that kid was above the Immortal Emperor level, I wouldn't have believed it."
Ye Ningshuang smiled wryly, "If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either; it's truly outrageous."
Ye Lan, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Daughter, tell your father the truth, is he really above the Immortal Emperor level?"
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ye Lan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, completely died. Finally, she simply exclaimed, "What a monster!"
