When Su Xueqing saw Che Zhengqing arrive at the high platform, she snorted coldly: "You are not qualified to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband."

Why?

Although Che Yongyan is Su Xueqing's uncle, this identity is merely a kinship recognized within the sect, and there is no blood relation between them.

He glanced at the crowd below the stage and said, "If you were to make a move, wouldn't that imply that none of the various sects could find a single person capable of fighting?"

By shifting the blame eastward, Che Yongyan was placed on the opposite side of everyone.

As expected, the faces of the many powerful figures from various sects below the stage turned extremely ugly, and they gritted their teeth, saying, "You..."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Su Xueqing turned to Su Mu and said, "We have come all the way from the Palace of Bliss, and our spiritual energy has been completely exhausted. Why don't we arrange the marriage another day?"

Taking action now would be taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, and it would also provide an excuse to defeat her.

While Su Mu was considering his options, Su Xueqing disregarded everything and forcefully pulled Xiao Feng's hand, saying, "Come on, let's go back to the room."

In front of everyone, Su Xueqing forcibly led them to the side room, where they found that the room had been cleaned up early.

Che Zhengqing watched the two leave, his face so gloomy it was almost frightening.

Despite clearly taking out a water-based spiritual treasure, Su Xueqing showed them no respect whatsoever.

He gritted his teeth and said in a very soft voice, "If I can marry Su Xuerou, I will definitely make her pay."

On the high platform, Su Mu saw that many people had opinions about him, so he quietly stood up and said with a helpless expression, "Everyone, I have spoiled my daughter. I'm sorry you have to laugh at her."

Below the stage, the powerful figures from the sects were all watching the spectacle unfold between Che Yongyan and his son Che Zhengqing, so how could they possibly care about this matter?

"It's alright, we didn't come here for that martial arts contest to find a husband."

Seeing that they had steered the conversation to other matters, Che Yongyan hurriedly walked up to them and asked, "What is the purpose of summoning us here?"

The Ming Cult would never summon them out of thin air; their presence here must be for something extremely important.

At this point in the conversation, Su Mu's expression turned extremely unpleasant. He stood up and said, "According to reports from scouts, several minor sects have been completely wiped out by so-called prestigious sects."

"An entire family wiped out? Such a thing exists?"

They were all sects that were affiliated with the Ming Cult. If those smaller sects were wiped out, they would most likely be next.

Since Su Mu brought this up, they must already have a solution.

The people present exchanged glances, a sense of crisis washing over them, and a deep disbelief filled their hearts.

"Is there a solution? We are willing to cooperate with all of you."

Su Mu stood up, spreading his spiritual energy, and took a deep breath: "We have no other choice but to prepare for battle."

"A bunch of hypocritical gentlemen who really think we'll be intimidated by their arrogance; a bunch of bullies who rely on their master's power."

"If we see them, we will make sure they don't return alive and kill them all."

Seeing that these people did not take the prestigious sects seriously, Su Mu scanned everyone present and said, "Remember, never underestimate your enemy."

Don't underestimate those small sects that have been destroyed; they all had immortal beings who have lived for thousands of years.

The fact that even these people were all killed is enough to show just how troublesome the situation was.

When Che Yongyan heard Su Mu bring this up, he was still preoccupied with the heartache he felt for his water-type spiritual treasure.

The martial arts contest for marriage was thus concluded, and his water-type spiritual treasure was wasted. How could he be happy about that?

Inside the corridor, Su Xueqing led Xiao Feng along, a satisfied look on her face: "I'm very satisfied with your performance just now."

"You're giving me too much credit if you expect me to take on all of them by myself."

The reason why the Water Curtain Sky Flower was able to stop Zhu Chen was simply because that person underestimated him and did not take him seriously.

If we had known about this move beforehand, it would probably have been just a matter of time before we could find a solution.

Seeing that Xiao Feng had no confidence in his own strength, Su Xueqing glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing."

Soon, we arrived at a courtyard filled with flowers.

Su Xueqing turned around and saw that Xiao Feng was still hesitant to enter, so she couldn't help but tease him: "Are you afraid to come here?"

Seeing Su Xueqing's face, Xiao Feng took a deep breath: "I'm not afraid to go in with you, but... I'm worried that Su Mu will make a move."

As a member of the Ming Cult, it would be absurd to say that he has no skills whatsoever.

Upon hearing that the person he feared was actually her own father, Su Xueqing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "My father wouldn't deal with someone like you."

If word got out, even outsiders would probably laugh their heads off.

Seeing that she excluded Su Mu, she followed her into her boudoir.

As soon as I opened the door, the scent of the sachets wafted out.

Despite Su Mu's lack of respect for his daughter in the main hall, he actually cares deeply for her, even going so far as to arrange her bedroom so perfectly.

Taking a few deep breaths of the floral fragrance, I gradually became intoxicated by it.

"Water-based magical artifacts can quickly heal your injuries. As long as you can resolve all the suitors, I will become your lawful wife."

"wife?"

Xiao Feng shook his head repeatedly, feeling somewhat guilty. He had come to the Upper Realm not for status, but to find Zhao Yuwei's location through them.

The reason they stayed in the Palace of Bliss was simply to absorb the evil desires from their bodies and gain immense spiritual power.

Little did he know, Su Xueqing had misunderstood him.

He looked up at Su Xueqing's face, his expression extremely indifferent: "Do your own things, don't push everything onto me."

Seeing Xiao Feng's spirited expression, Su Xueqing laughed a few times: "I value your opinionated nature."

In the Palace of Bliss, most of those who submit have no backbone whatsoever.

If they let her do as she pleases, those people will soon be disliked.

Seeing how strict Su Xueqing was with her requirements for her other half, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Unexpectedly, his act of resistance was seen as a sign of backbone in her eyes.

As a result, everything he did was viewed through a biased lens by her.

After careful consideration, Su Xueqing took out a talisman from her clothes and placed it in Xiao Feng's hand.

"This talisman is a teleportation jade talisman. If you crush it at a critical moment, you can leave the place where you are, ensuring your safety."

Since Su Xueqing was willing to send something like this to his death, Xiao Feng naturally felt that she was determined to send him to his death.

Those who come to the Ming Cult are all renowned figures.

Making these people your opponents inevitably leads to some clashes.

Moreover, he had thoroughly offended Che Zhengqing on the high platform, and he believed that Che was waiting for him to take the stage.

Seeing Xiao Feng's helpless expression, Su Xueqing couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I just want you to prove your strength and let my father see that you are not an ordinary person."

Not all those who come from the lower realm are incompetent fools; many of them are talented young people who have caught his eye.
