บท 4: Chapter 4: The Foundations of the Su Family
Seeing Su Chen's inappropriate hand resting on Chu Yanran's delicate body, Ye Fan could no longer contain the anger boiling within him. He shot up, his voice ringing out like thunder, "Su Chen, let go of my master!"
His blood-red eyes locked onto Su Chen, radiating a fury that suggested he might leap forward at any moment and tear Su Chen to shreds.
Boom!
A fierce aura suddenly erupted from Ye Fan, stronger than before.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the protagonist. Even under such pressure, he's breaking through."
Witnessing this scene, Su Chen couldn't help but marvel inwardly. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he ultimately restrained himself.
Ye Fan was one of the male leads in the original story. If he killed him now, many opportunities would fall into the hands of other unknown individuals, making it harder for Su Chen to seize those chances for himself.
"Forget it; I'll just keep him as a dog for now."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. "But I'll need to break his teeth first."
"Preposterous!"
Just as Su Chen was about to instruct the elder to act, Chu Yanran moved instead.
In a gust of wind, she appeared in front of Ye Fan and slapped him hard across the face.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound echoed throughout the grand hall, lingering in the air.
Everyone stared at Chu Yanran in shock.
It was well-known that she was fiercely protective of her disciples, showering them with care and affection. Yet today, she had struck one of them for Su Chen!
"Master…"
Ye Fan was clearly taken aback by the sudden slap, looking bewilderedly at his stunning master.
What was happening?
His master had always treated him kindly and with warmth. Why had she suddenly changed so drastically?
Confusion filled his heart.
But Chu Yanran paid him no mind. Her aura surged powerfully.
"Crack!"
A bone-breaking sound reverberated in the hall, sending chills down everyone's spine.
At that moment, Chu Yanran stomped down hard, shattering Ye Fan's legs beneath her.
"This…"
The fiercest creatures in the world are women. Even Su Chen felt this scene was somewhat surreal.
No wonder she could be ranked among the top ten female leads; she indeed had a sharp wit and was exceptionally clever.
He understood her motive: she was merely trying to preserve Ye Fan's life.
"Master, why are you doing this?"
Staring at the expressionless Chu Yanran, Ye Fan was terrified, a deep-seated fear reflecting in his eyes.
Chu Yanran ignored him, turning her gaze to Su Chen. "Young master, are you satisfied with my actions?"
"Ha ha ha…"
Su Chen chuckled, nodding in approval. He stepped forward, wrapping an arm around Chu Yanran's waist, a teasing glint in his eyes. "I'm very satisfied, but I'm curious about your skills in serving."
"…"
At Su Chen's teasing words, Chu Yanran's beautiful face flushed red, her body trembling slightly, unsure of how to respond.
"Take him away! Throw Ye Fan into the sect's dungeon!"
Jiang Yunxi cast a glance at Ye Fan, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, and spoke in a low voice.
"Understood, Sect Master!"
The two elders by Ye Fan's side had been waiting for Jiang Yunxi's command.
They quickly moved to either side of Ye Fan, dragging him out of the hall.
Ye Fan kept his head down, obscuring his expression, allowing himself to be dragged like a lifeless dog.
With the show over, Su Chen felt no reason to linger in the Immortal Sword Sect any longer. He turned to Chu Yanran and said, "Let's go."
"Mm."
Chu Yanran nodded lightly, following Su Chen as they headed out of the grand hall.
As they stepped outside, the elder behind them pulled out several golden flags from his robes and tossed them into the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The golden flags hit the ground with a metallic clang.
In the next moment, a blinding golden light erupted from the stone floor, revealing a myriad of intricate runes that slowly formed a thin barrier.
After a brief moment, a large teleportation array appeared out of nowhere outside the hall.
"Young master, please!"
The elder respectfully gestured toward Su Chen.
"Mm."
Su Chen nodded, leading Chu Yanran and the others into the teleportation array, disappearing from sight.
---
Chu Yanran felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, darkness enveloping her. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in front of the Su family's grand entrance.
Before her stood an expansive estate spanning over a hundred thousand acres.
The plaque above the entrance, inscribed with the characters "Su Fu," seemed to emanate a subtle yet powerful spiritual aura.
Inside the estate, the layout was shrouded in mystery, making it impossible for outsiders to glimpse what lay within. It was clear that the Su family had set up high-level formations to deter any would-be spies.
Standing at the entrance, the dense spiritual energy surrounding the estate was palpable, causing Chu Yanran to inwardly marvel at the Su family's deep-rooted heritage.
Such rich spiritual energy meant that just one day of cultivation here would likely be equivalent to ten days of hard work in the Immortal Sword Sect.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the astonished look on Chu Yanran's face, Su Chen asked casually.
"Nothing, nothing at all."
Realizing she had lost her composure, Chu Yanran quickly smiled and shook her head.
"Young master!"
The two guards stationed at the entrance rushed over upon seeing Su Chen and his party, their eyes brimming with respect.
Su Chen nodded slightly, leading Chu Yanran into the Su estate without noticing her stunned expression.
"Experts of the Divine Power Realm!!!"
As they passed by the two guards, Chu Yanran sensed the overwhelming aura of a Divine Power Realm expert.
If even the guards at the Su family's entrance were this formidable, just imagine the strength of those concealed within!
How deep does the Su family's foundation run?
Chu Yanran hesitated to ponder further.
After observing her surroundings and finding nothing out of the ordinary, she tucked away her surprise, silently following Su Chen.
Any thoughts of opposing him had vanished from her mind.
To be chosen by someone like Su Chen was, in a way, a stroke of fortune.
With such a powerful family background, this second-generation heir should possess some taste and wouldn't settle for just any woman.
As Chu Yanran contemplated this, her thoughts drifted further.
"Let's head inside!"
Su Chen's voice broke through her reverie.
They had arrived at their destination—Su Chen's room.
"Mm."
Feeling shy, Chu Yanran nodded slightly.
She realized she had completely walked into a tiger's den, and escaping was no longer an option.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, she felt herself lifted effortlessly.
Su Chen had swept her up in a princess carry.
"Ah!"
A jolt of pain shot through her as Su Chen carelessly tossed her onto an extravagantly lavish bed.
"Young master, you…"
Seeing Su Chen's rough movements, Chu Yanran's face turned crimson. She bit her lip, casting a look of grievance at him.
"Hehe…"
Gazing at the slightly disheveled Chu Yanran, Su Chen flashed a wicked smile.
"Young master… what do you intend to do?"
As Su Chen advanced toward her step by step, Chu Yanran trembled, raising her arms defensively over her chest, her eyes wide with anxiety.
In that moment, she seemed to forget that she was a powerful practitioner of the Dao Palace Realm while Su Chen was merely an ordinary person.
