Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Elder brother!”
Su Chen stood in the courtyard, looking at the surroundings in a daze. A surprised voice reached his ear.
“Second brother, long time no see!”
Hearing this, Su Chen turned around and smiled at the handsome young man. This young man was none other than Su Chen’s younger brother, Su Liang! “Elder brother, it really is you! It has only been a few months. I didn’t expect you to have already become a core disciple of the Great Mystery Sect…”
Su Liang strode towards Su Chen and circled around him twice. The astonishment on his face was no less than that of the two guards earlier.
“I was just lucky.”
Su Chen replied with a smile.
Then, he looked behind Su Liang and asked curiously, “Where are Father and Mother?”
Just now, his divine sense had enveloped the entire Su family’s mansion, but he did not see his parents.
This surprised Su Chen greatly.
One had to know that he was now a warrior in the later stage of the God Altar Realm, and he had also cultivated the heaven-level upper-rank Heavenly Divergence Divine Art, so his divine sense could cover the entire Tianyang City. However, the strange thing was that he did not find any traces of his parents.
“Father and mother are in the secret chamber…”
Hearing Su Chen’s question, Su Liang’s expression became a little unnatural.
He said, “The two of them have been in there for a long time. Moreover, they have instructed the servants not to disturb them before they come out…” “Hmm?”
Hearing this, Su Chen raised his eyebrow and asked in surprise, “Secret chamber? Why do they have to go to the secret chamber?”
“To save someone!”
Su Liang sighed lightly and slowly spat out three words.
“Save someone?”
Su Chen frowned slightly and remembered the jade slip that Su Liang had given him. He asked, “Did you ask me to come back because of this?”
“That’s right.”
Su Liang took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice, “Elder Brother, 1 really can’t persuade Father and Mother! They insisted on saving that child no matter how much 1 tried to persuade them…”
“A child? What’s going on? Where did this child come from? Don’t tell me I have another younger brother.”
Su Chen was stunned upon hearing this, then he revealed a strange expression and asked.
“Uh… No, it’s a long story. I’ll tell you slowly…”
Su Liang did not choose to hide anything. He pondered for a moment and slowly began to explain.
As he explained, Su Chen gradually understood what was going on.
About a month ago, a young couple came to Tianyang City.
They had very formidable strength, but they were covered in blood and carried a child in their arms.
As soon as the young couple stepped into Tianyang City, they headed straight for the Su family’s residence.
The person they were looking for was none other than Su Chen’s mother, Qin Wanrong.
It was said that the two of them were from the Qin family, just like Su Chen’s mother.
It was just that the Qin family they belonged to had been in turmoil and unrest recently, and something major had happened in the family.
The two of them worked together to take the child out.
Although the couple themselves were unharmed, their child was in critical danger and could die at any time.
The young couple asked Su Chen’s parents to help take care of the child for the time being.
The young couple went outside of the East Barrens to look for spiritual herbs that could treat the child.
However, they had been gone for more than a month.
There had been no news so far, and the child had been staying at the Su family’s mansion.
Since the Su couple were also kind people and the child was from Qin
Wanrong’s family, they had been using their own spiritual power to sustain the child’s life this past month.
However, this was not a long-term solution.
If this dragged on, the child likely wouldn’t be saved, yet the two of them would be drained first instead.
What worried Su Liang the most was…
The couple’s strength was too powerful. Even though they were injured, the aura they emitted made people shudder.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying the Qin family behind them was.!
What if their enemies came after them?
However, the Su family had saved their child, so how could their enemies let the Su family off so easily?
Su Liang was just a normal Qi Sea Realm cultivator.
At the same time, he was also the future head of the Su family. He did not want to watch the Su family be destroyed.
After trying persuasion several times to no avail, the helpless Su Chen could only place his hopes on Su Chen, hoping that Su Chen could make their parents give up on saving the child.
“Uh… Such a familiar…ploy…”
Su Chen raised his right hand and rubbed his chin as he muttered.
Could it be that his parents had saved a child who would become a peerless
Heavenly Emperor that would dominate the world in the future?
Thinking of this…
Su Chen took out a jade slip from his storage ring.
This was the communication jade slip he had asked Ye Ruxue for in the Hundred Demon Battlefield.
Initially, Su Chen had thought about finding time to get in touch and strengthen their relationship.
But today, the opportunity presented itself, and he could inquire with Ye Ruxue to see if she knew about the recent events in the Su family. After all, Ye Ruxue was reborn.
Although she hadn’t revealed her identity yet, Su Chen had already decided that he could ask her indirectly.
If the Su family could really produce an unparalleled powerhouse in the future, then Ye Ruxue would definitely be aware of it.
“Oh, right.”
Su Chen raised his head and looked at the confused Su Liang, asking, “What’s the child’s name?”
“Qin Hao!”
Although Su Liang was very puzzled by his elder brother’s actions, he still told Su Chen everything in detail.
After all, whether or not their parents would give up on saving the child rested on Su Chen.
“Qin Hao? Why isn’t his name Shi Hai instead?”
Su Chen silently ridiculed in his heart.
Then, he shook his head and laughed.
That couple was from the same family as his mother, so how could their surname be Shi?
Very quickly, he typed a message and quickly sent it out.
Buzz…
Not long after, the jade slip in Su Chen’s hand shook.
Su Chen sent his divine sense into it and scanned over the contents of the jade slip.
But then, his expression became intriguing.
Ye Ruxue’s reply was very simple.
She said that she had never heard of someone called Qin Hao.
However, Ye Ruxue seemed to be a little worried. She quickly sent him another message, telling him to be careful of a person named Qin Yuan.
“Qin Hao… Qin Yuan…”
Su Chen repeated the two names in a low voice.
For a moment, he was confused by these two names.
“Forget it, forget it.”
But soon, Su Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
To him, who Qin Yuan was simply didn’t matter.
Right now, the most important thing was to visit his parents and also take a look at Qin Hao.
“Let’s go. Follow me to visit Father and Mother.”
Su Chen looked at Su Liang and waved at him.
“Alright.”
When Su Liang heard this, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly nodded and led the way ahead..
