"Hmm!" Yan Qingwu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding. Originally, she wanted to go back, accept the inheritance, find out who killed her parents, and take revenge. Now, after witnessing Su Chen's powerful strength, she was even more determined to go back. If she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Chen, she had to become stronger.
The only thing that could make her stronger was the inheritance her father had mentioned. She believed that the inheritance must be extraordinary and would elevate her cultivation level, making her even more powerful.
She didn't want to be a pretty face, nor did she want to be a burden. Only by becoming strong herself could she be worthy of standing with Su Chen.
"Alright, I respect your choice." Su Chen smiled calmly, then looked at Yan Yang and the others in the distance. His silver hair flowed and shimmered, his eyes revealing indifference.
"Senior... Senior!" Upon seeing Su Chen looking over, Yan Yang and the others trembled, cold sweat poured down their foreheads, their hearts pounded wildly, and they couldn't help but swallow hard.
This man is truly terrifying; he might very well be a Divine Lord. He must not be offended under any circumstances, or the consequences will be utterly disastrous. I never imagined there would be Divine Lord like him in this place, and his relationship with the young lady is so unusual... Could it be...?
A glint of light flashed in Yan Yang's eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"After she goes back, I don't want her to suffer any injustice. If she sheds a single tear, then your entire War God Clan has no reason to exist." Su Chen's handsome face remained calm.
"Don't worry, senior. We, the War God Clan, will never let Miss suffer any injustice, much less shed a tear!" Yan Yang said hurriedly, though he was already drenched in sweat. When he returned, he would make sure to warn those foolish clansmen not to bully Miss. If anyone dared to do so, he would be the first to face the consequences. This was a matter of life and death for the War God Clan, and he couldn't afford to be careless!
Su Chen didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Yan Qingwu, then stretched out his slender finger and touched her brow. A divine light shone from his fingertip, but it vanished in an instant.
"What did you do?" Yan Qingwu touched her brow and asked curiously.
"I left a trace of my power within you. If you are ever in danger, this power can save you," Su Chen said softly, stroking her hair.
"Thank you." Yan Qingwu nestled into Su Chen's arms, feeling warm, happy, and joyful inside.
The two remained like that for a long time, and no one dared to make a sound to disturb them, unless they were suicidal.
"I'm leaving." Yan Qingwu looked up at Su Chen, her eyes filled with reluctance. She didn't want to leave Su Chen, but she had no choice. She still had many things to do and had to go back as soon as possible.
"Goodbye, Grandma Chen!" Yan Qingwu waved goodbye, then turned and left with Yan Yang and the others. The moment she turned away, tears welled up in her eyes. She wiped away the tears, her eyes filled with determination.
"Sigh, I wonder if that girl will ever come back." Shen Yanlan sighed softly. Over the years, she and Yan Qingwu had developed a deep bond. She treated Yan Qingwu like her own granddaughter and loved her dearly. Now that Yan Qingwu was gone, she felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
"Grandma, she'll come back, don't worry," Su Chen said with a smile.
"You really gave me a pleasant surprise." Shen Yanlan glanced at Su Chen with a smile on her face.
"Grandma, I hope you can keep this a secret for me," Su Chen said after hesitating for a moment.
"Why? Don't you want others to know your true strength?" Shen Yanlan was taken aback, her expression puzzled.
"Yes, because I have something to do later, and the premise of this is that I can't let them know my true strength," Su Chen nodded.
"What is it? Can you tell Grandma? Of course, if you don't want to tell her, that's okay too. Grandma will keep it a secret for you," Shen Yanlan asked curiously.
"Of course, no problem. Just please, please don't tell anyone." Su Chen nodded and then briefly explained what he needed to do.
"You... you really want to do this?" Shen Yanlan frowned.
"Yes, only in this way will they not always depend on me," Su Chen nodded and said.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Yanlan nodded.
"Thank you, Grandma." Su Chen smiled slightly.
"Silly boy, why are you thanking your grandma?" Shen Yanlan said with a smile.
"How dare you! I'd like to see who dares to bully my wife and granddaughter!" Suddenly, a furious shout, like a thunderclap, rang out, and a terrifying force rolled in, filling the heavens and earth, shaking the mountains and rivers, extremely frightening.
Then, an old man tore through space and time and appeared in the arena, hovering in the sky, surrounded by divine halos. The sky changed drastically because of him, his white hair danced wildly, his eyes looked around, and his face was full of anger.
The old man was none other than Su Wangchuan. Upon learning that Shen Yanlan and Yan Qingwu had encountered a formidable enemy, he was immediately enraged and hurriedly tore through space and time to arrive here.
"Huh, where are the enemies?" Seeing that there was no one else besides Su Chen and Shen Yanlan, Su Wangchuan looked puzzled and confused.
"If we wait for you to arrive, Qingwu and I will probably be corpses by now," Shen Yanlan said speechlessly.
"Huh?" Su Wangchuan looked completely bewildered.
Shen Yanlan sighed, then briefly recounted what had just happened. Of course, she didn't mention Su Chen's intervention, only saying that the enemies were Yan Qingwu's clansmen who had come to take Yan Qingwu back.
"I've heard of the War God Clan. They have countless powerful members and control over thousands of planets. In particular, the War God Divine Clan's Martial God is terrifyingly strong; even I am no match for him. I never imagined that Qingwu would be his child," Su Wangchuan said solemnly.
"Alright, alright, let's go back quickly. I need to go back and hold my granddaughter." Shen Yanlan said impatiently. Over the years, she had been protecting Yan Qingwu and hadn't been able to get away, so she had never seen Su Jianxi until now.
There's no way around it. For cultivators, a single seclusion can take several years, or even hundreds of years. Especially the higher the cultivation level, the longer the seclusion period. Yan Qingwu's seclusion lasted for several years, which is considered short.
The Mystic Hall.
"Oh, my dear granddaughter, let Grandma hold you." Shen Yanlan picked up Su Jianxi, her face full of affection.
"Grandma? Are you my grandma?" Su Jianxi blinked, curiously examining Shen Yanlan, slightly surprised. She hadn't expected her grandma to be a Transcendence Realm expert as well. What kind of Lineage did she come from?
Over the years, Su Jianxi has learned a bit about the Immortal Realm. She knows that the strongest person in this place is only at the Peak Immortal Emperor. Yet her Lineage has so many experts who are stronger than the Immortal Emperor Realm. She simply cannot believe that this is not true.
