Yun Che's words stunned everyone. Whispers were heard everywhere, and people kept shaking their heads, indicating that they knew nothing about this matter. Everyone's eyes were also particularly strange. After all, Su Ling'er was still too young, just turning ten this year. If it was a marriage arranged by finger, a childhood sweetheart, it would be normal, but Yun Che was a living adult! This was a bit inconsistent...
Looking at the current situation, anyone would think that this was most likely a fabricated excuse to crush the ambition of Su Hengyue's lineage.
Su Hengshan was also stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately. He glanced at Yun Che’s eyes and said calmly, “That’s right! Yun Che is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. I admire him very much. At least in terms of talent, he is ten times better than Su Haoyu! You have all seen this with your own eyes. In addition, he saved my daughter’s life, so I betrothed my daughter to him. When my daughter turns sixteen, we will choose a date to get married!”
Su Ling'er blinked her innocent eyes, her face full of confusion. After all, she was already ten years old this year, not a child of two or three years old. Even if she didn't know everything about what "betrothal" meant, she at least knew the basic concept. She looked at her father, then at Yun Che, her heart beating wildly, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
"Nonsense!" Su Hengyue gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Su Hengshan, don't treat everyone as fools! This kid is obviously just a temporary reinforcement you brought in. The so-called betrothal is simply an excuse! Otherwise, how could no one present know about it!"
"Haha, that's just that I didn't announce it in public. Do I need other people's consent to marry my daughter to you?" Su Hengshan said coldly. He looked around and said calmly, "It seems that no one believes it. Well, I, Su Hengshan, will announce this matter in public..."
He looked at Yun Che, and Yun Che also looked at him… Su Hengshan’s eyes were complicated, but Yun Che’s eyes were incomparably resolute and calm. This was the eye contact between two men who loved the same girl deeply. From each other’s eyes, one of them clearly saw the pure fatherly love, while the other saw a kind of love that made his heart tremble… until death.
Looking at Yun Che's gaze, Su Hengshan's eyes and heart suddenly calmed down. All his worries turned into a wonderful sense of stability...
His previous emotions had been immersed in the shock brought by Yun Che. Although he hated Su Heng and his father-in-law, he had to admit that Su Haoyu's talent was extremely high, and no one in Tai Su Sect could match him. But such a genius suffered a miserable defeat in front of Yun Che, who was two or three years younger than him, and he couldn't even get through three moves. And his subsequent attack even seriously injured Li Yunji, who was at the Earth Profound Realm. At such an age, he had such amazing strength. In his cognition, it could only be described as incredible.
A young man with such strength must be from the most top-notch sect in Fusu Country... No! The sect he came from might be the top one in the entire Cangyun Continent!
Although the Taisu Sect dominated the Jiangdong area of Fusu State, they would never dare to dream of such a disciple among the younger generation. The sect he belonged to must be an existence that the Taisu Sect could only worship and look up to. He was completely sure of this and had no doubt about it. The same idea also appeared in the minds of almost everyone present.
In terms of background, only Ling'er was not worthy of him; he was completely worthy of his daughter.
Yun Che's appearance was one in a million, and his inner temperament and eyes as deep as the starry sky were unmatched... These might be secondary in Su Hengshan's heart, but the deep love he showed for Su Ling'er, as well as the determination he showed time and time again, even if it meant sacrificing his life to protect her, made him moved. Although he and Su Ling'er had only met in the morning, he saw and felt this feeling very clearly, and was also extremely surprised.
And for a father, what could be more reassuring than entrusting his daughter to someone who is willing to protect her with his life?
At the same time, Su Ling'er's unreasonable and unprovoked attachment and trust in Yun Che was also clear.
He had no idea what kind of person Yun Che was. Today, he could have stayed out of the matter, but he stepped forward forcefully, putting himself in danger. This was a favor to Su Hengshan and Tai Su Clan, and he could sense that Yun Che did this entirely because of Ling'er.
In summary, if he could entrust his daughter's future to such a person, he would be completely assured of his daughter's life. If he had to find a little imperfection, it would be that Yun Che was already married, and his daughter would only be married to the second wife.
Su Hengshan, who had never thought about Su Ling'er's marriage before today, was now in an extremely peaceful mood. With a smile on his face, he announced in a slow and powerful voice, "Today, I hereby announce that my daughter Su Ling'er will be betrothed to Yun Che, the son of the Yun family. My daughter is still young this year, and we will choose a date to get married when she turns sixteen! Everyone present here can be a witness!"
Su Hengshan’s words were sonorous, without a trace of falsehood or reluctance in his voice. After he finished speaking, he nodded gently to Yun Che with a smile on his face, his eyes gentle… It was the look of a girl’s father examining his son-in-law. Even the person with the most vicious eyes in the room could not see the slightest element of acting.
Yun Che quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said sincerely: “My son-in-law Yun Che, thank you father-in-law for your help!”
“Yun Che, you have to think clearly. Our Tai Su Clan’s daughters never marry outside the family. If you want to marry my daughter, you will be a member of our Tai Su Clan from now on!”
Yun Che nodded without hesitation: “I understand! From today on, I, Yun Che, will be a disciple of the Tai Su Sect! I will share the honor and disgrace with the Tai Su Sect!”
Yun Che raised his head and looked at the dazed Su Ling'er, smiling slightly... Ling'er, back then, I didn't even give you the smallest promise, I owe you so much. This is an illusion, and also a beautiful dream. Let me give you everything I can give you in this dream.
“Hahaha, good!” Su Hengshan stepped forward and helped Yun Che up, letting him stand with Su Ling’er. He faced Su Wangji and Su Hengyue and said, “Grand Elder, Yun Che is now my son-in-law, and the son-in-law of the Grand Su Sect. Naturally, he is also a member of our Grand Su Sect. In terms of age, he is younger than Su Haoyue, but in terms of aptitude, hehe, I’m sure you saw it clearly just now. Your proposal just now was heard clearly by everyone present. I believe that with the Grand Elder’s qualifications and prestige, he will definitely say what he means. So now and in the future, the matter of the sect’s treasure will be decided by me. I’m sure you will not have any objections.”
Su Wangji's old face was stiff and ugly, and he was speechless. His previous words were completely intended to help Su Hengyue succeed, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it became a big pit for him to jump into.
"Su Hengyue, do you have anything else to say?" Su Hengshan asked with a sidelong glance.
"Hmph!" Su Hengyue's eyes were gloomy, and his hands pressing on Su Haoyu's chest kept shaking.
“Hehehehe!” An unpleasant sneer sounded, and Hei Mu Qing Ya, who had been watching from the sidelines, came out and slowly walked towards Su Hengshan. Behind him, two black-clothed old men from Hei Mu Fort followed closely. Hei Mu Qing Ya stopped when he was less than three steps away from Su Hengshan, and raised his hand to Su Hengshan: “Congratulations to Sect Master Su for finding such a good son-in-law. Not only has he solved the lifelong issue of his daughter, but even the sect’s most precious treasure will fall into your hands completely.”
"Heimu Qingya, the most precious treasure of my Taisu sect is related to the prosperity of my sect. It does not belong to any one person, but to the entire Taisu sect. Humph! Besides, it is not your turn as an outsider with ulterior motives to interfere in the affairs of my Taisu sect. I haven't settled the score with you for the incident in which you had someone attack my daughter! I want to see what kind of explanation you will give me today." Su Hengshan said sternly.
"Hey, Master Su, don't be angry. This explanation will definitely be given. But before that, I have something to remind you, Master Su." Hei Mu Qing Ya narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous cold light radiated from his eyes: "You are so happy now, all because of your son-in-law who suddenly appeared from nowhere. With your son-in-law, it is indeed not Su Haoyu's turn to be the number one of the younger generation of Tai Su Sect, but if he suddenly dies..."
When Hei Mu Qing Ya said this, his body suddenly shook, and he rushed towards Yun Che like a black lightning. A palm infused with surging profound energy suddenly grabbed Yun Che's chest.
"You old thief Qingmu, how dare you!!"
Su Hengshan's face changed, and he became furious. Just as he was about to make a move, the two old men behind Hei Mu Qing Ya came forward and completely blocked his attack, making it impossible for him to stop Hei Mu Qing Ya for a while.
Hei Mu Qing Ya had the strength of an early stage of the Sky Profound Realm, and there were very few people in the Tai Su Sect who could contend with him. In addition, Hei Mu Qing Ya suddenly attacked after getting close to him, and those Tai Su Sect elders were far away, so they had no time to stop him. They could only watch Hei Mu Qing Ya rush straight to Yun Che.
Hei Mu Qing Ya is a person of extremely despicable character, but no one would have thought that he would be so despicable that he would, as the lord of the castle, sneak attack a junior in public!
When Hei Mu Qing Ya was talking to Su Hengshan, Yun Che had already protected Su Ling'er behind him, and at the same time, he was tense. Su Hengshan might not be able to feel it, but he was extremely sensitive to murderous intent, and he had long since realized that Hei Mu Qing Ya's murderous intent had locked onto him. When Hei Mu Qing Ya suddenly rushed over, Yun Che's brows sank, his Burning Heart opened, and with a loud roar, "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" was released instantly.
BANG!!
Hei Mu Qing Ya's palm hit the barrier of "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun". Amidst a muffled sound, a huge recoil force came from the front, catching him off guard and forcing him to retreat several steps.
Yun Che and Su Ling'er, who was blocked behind him, did not move at all and were unharmed. And "Sealing Clouds and Locking the Sun" was also shattered by Heimu Qingya's palm.
Hei Mu Qing Ya was shocked, and he couldn’t believe that he would be repelled by this young man. He was shocked and angry, and he roared, and his whole body surged with all his profound strength, and punched Yun Che again: "Youngster... Die!!"
Yun Che remained calm and quickly picked up Su Ling'er, preparing to dodge with the Star God Shattered Shadow... If he could only avoid this attack from Hei Mu Qing Ya, the elders and disciples of the Tai Su Sect would rush over, and Hei Mu Qing Ya would not be able to hurt him and Su Ling'er again.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, carrying with it falling snowflakes. A long white silk ribbon came with the wind and snow, floating lightly towards Hei Mu Qing Ya's palm, as light as if it was carried by the breeze.
BOOM!!!!
The moment the light white silk brushed against Heimu Qingya's palm, an overwhelming force erupted. Heimu Qingya screamed, and his five fingers were broken, and he flew far away. Behind him, a gust of cold wind followed, blowing away all the Heimu Fort disciples who were rushing over. For a moment, the sky was filled with black figures who were carried away, as densely packed as locusts passing through, and screams were heard everywhere.
This sudden change made everyone stand there in a daze, and those who were fighting all stopped at the same time... A snow-white figure, along with the floating ice spirits in the sky, slowly fell in front of Yun Che.
