"Xian … er … don't cry." Su Yu's voice was hoarse as he tried to comfort her.
"Brother Su Yu, father …" Xian 'er threw herself into his arms, hugging his neck as she wept loudly.
Su Yu's eyes were moist as he choked back tears. "Don't cry … If father saw you crying in the afterlife, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace."
Xian 'er rubbed her swollen eyes with her small hands, trying not to cry. However, tears still rolled down her cheeks. Her small body trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind, rustling and trembling.
"Father is gone … I don't have a father anymore …" It was the first time in her life that Xian 'er had fallen into loneliness. Fear, helplessness, and uncertainty filled her heart.
Su Yu embraced her tenderly and stroked her head. "Xian 'er, you still have me. I will be by your side."
A wave of warmth flowed into her heart.
Xian 'er raised her head. Her big eyes, which seemed to have matured overnight, looked at her fiancé carefully.
His determined and warm eyes were filled with a comforting smile, as well as the shocking blood scabs on his face.
Xian 'er bit her lip as she stretched out her hand to carefully remove the scabs.
Every time he took out a piece, his heart ached a little more, and his bean-sized eyeballs grew by one.
This blood had been shed for her.
"Xian 'er, you …" Su Yu was confused. He felt that Xian' er seemed to have feelings for him that she had never felt before.
In the past, Xian 'er was willful and playful. In her heart, Su Yu was just a familiar playmate.
After experiencing such a drastic change in her life, she had become much more sensible.
"Brother Su Yu!" Xian 'er suddenly hugged Su Yu's neck with all her strength, as if she was afraid that Su Yu would leave her the next moment.
Her father had passed away, and Su Yu was her only remaining relative, even if he was only her fiancé for a day.
Feeling Xian 'er's trembling body, Su Yu patted her back silently.
At this moment, Su Yu could feel Xian 'er's feelings without needing to say anything.
A man and a woman were quietly hugging each other.
After going through such a great ordeal, their hearts had gradually become one.
After a long while, Xian 'er finally stopped sobbing. She rubbed her head against Su Yu's chest and raised her head. Her red and swollen eyes were filled with shyness. "I want to be Brother Su Yu's bride forever …"
Su Yu lowered his head and kissed her forehead. His heart was filled with tender affection. "You will always be my bride."
Xianer's cheeks were slightly flushed as she lay peacefully in Su Yu's embrace. After losing her father, her heart had once again found a safe harbor to rely on.
Shua –
Old Qin returned with the medicinal herbs. He stared at the scene with a complicated expression.
She quietly prepared the healing medicine for Su Yu, and Xianer rushed to apply it on Su Yu.
Xianer, who used to be playful and playful, was now like a good wife and loving mother. She was carefully taking care of Su Yu, and her face was filled with satisfaction.
Half a day later, he rested well.
Senior Qin said unhurriedly, "Young princess, Su Yu, according to the Duke's last wish, I will bring both of you away from the Fenglin Empire and head toward the Fenghuang Empire where the young princess's mother is. There are people from the young princess's mother's family there, and they will take good care of her in the future. Both of you should prepare to depart."
The young princess's mother was actually a citizen of the Phoenix Empire?
Su Yu recalled the mark of a nine-tailed phoenix on the back of the young princess's neck.
The Eldest Prince's claim of treason to capture the Regional King was not groundless.
The Duke of Xianyu's treason was false, but it was true that he had connections with people from other countries.
Now, he and Qin Xianer had to leave the Fenglin Empire to another country?
Su Yu's cold eyes flickered, "Old Qin, bring Xianer with you. I will stay behind!"
"Someone has to avenge the Regional King!" If Su Yu did not kill the First Prince, he would never be a human!
Senior Qin sighed, "Let me ask you, how are you going to avenge him? As the First Prince, he lives deep within the palace and has tens of thousands of elites under him! There are countless high-level fighters. With your abilities, do you think you can kill him? "
"An individual's martial strength is unable to contend against the empire. He has a high status as the First Prince of a nation. Making an enemy out of him is the same as making an enemy out of the empire. Even a Level Nine expert would find it difficult to contend against the empire." Old Qin said sincerely.
Su Yu's desire for revenge did not waver, "Ten years is not too long for a gentleman to take revenge. If I cannot take revenge in a day, what about a year? Ten years? What about using my entire life's effort? One day, I will take my revenge! "
Senior Qin was moved. This person was truly someone who valued relationships and favors.
He was grateful for the Regional King's kindness and wished to repay it with his life.
Senior Qin could not bear to see such a talent waste his entire life on revenge. After a while, he sighed, "Actually, it is not impossible for you to take revenge, but the chances are very slim."
"Please advise me, Senior Qin!" Su Yu was moved.
Senior Qin pointed to the Holy Seal between Su Yu's brows, "That's it!"
Su Yu did not understand, "The Holy Order is only the right to participate in the Holy Meet. How can it shake the Fenglin Empire?"
"The Holy Order cannot, but what about the Holy King?" Senior Qin's eyes were filled with respect.
The Holy King? He was a legend who could change the Fenglin Empire's royal family with just a thought. If it was him, he could easily do so.
But how could Su Yu get the help of the Holy King?
"The Holy Meet you are participating in actually has another meaning. It is a competition to become a Sanctuary disciple! As long as you enter the top ten in the Holy Meet, you will have hope of becoming a Sanctuary disciple! "
What? Sanctuary disciple? Su Yu was moved!
The Master of the Sanctuary was the Holy King. If he became a Sanctuary disciple, wouldn't he have the opportunity to meet the Holy King?
As long as the Holy King agreed, Su Yu could take his revenge!
"Moreover, if you are able to obtain the first place in the Holy Meet, you will have the chance to get a promise from the Holy King. Any condition is fine." Senior Qin's eyes were burning. In other words, Su Yu could promise to kill the First Prince!
Su Yu clenched his fists, "Fine! I, Su Yu, will definitely win the Holy Meet and kill the First Prince! "
Senior Qin did not hold out much hope, lightly shaking his head, "The Holy Meet is in ten days. With your abilities, it will be difficult for you to enter the top thirty, much less the first place."
Back then, Bai Qixiong, who was at Level Six Lower Tier of the Martial Paths, was unable to enter the top ten.
Su Yu could not even defeat a Level Five Peak, how could he win the championship?
"Moreover..." Senior Qin sighed, "Moreover, with the talent you have displayed, the First Prince will not allow you to live. If you stay in the Fenglin Empire, you will definitely be killed. Why don't you follow me to the Fenghuang Empire, I will ensure your safety."
After a moment of silence, Su Yu's desire for revenge had not been extinguished.
"My father treated me like a son. As a son, how can I not take revenge for my father's death?" Su Yu clenched his fists.
Xianer grabbed Su Yu's sleeves, her watery eyes filled with hatred and determination, "Brother Su Yu, I will follow you. I will also take revenge for my father!"
Patting her small head, Su Yu lightly shook his head, "No! Xianer, I alone am enough. Between us, one of us must live. Don't let down our father's sacrifice for us. "
He could take the risk alone, there was no need to implicate Xianer.
"No! I am Brother Su Yu's bride, even if I die, I want to be with Brother Su Yu... "Xianer was stubborn. She had already lost her father, she could not lose Su Yu as well.
A palm strike suddenly landed on her neck, causing her to fall into Su Yu's embrace.
Su Yu retracted his palm and kissed her forehead tenderly, gently saying, "Xianer, live well."
He handed her over to Senior Qin and bowed to thank him, "Thank you, Senior Qin!"
Senior Qin had a complicated expression as he sighed, "The duke can rest in peace with such a son-in-law! Take care of yourself. I will send the young princess to the Fenghuang Empire.
If you wish to visit her in the future, you can bring this token to Fenghuang Valley. " Senior Qin tossed him a phoenix shaped token. His eyes were complicated as he hesitantly reminded Su Yu, "But if your cultivation level is not high enough, do not come. Otherwise, you will bring trouble upon yourself."
Su Yu's heart trembled. What kind of holy land was Fenghuang Valley? That was why Senior Qin had warned him so seriously.
Whoosh —
Senior Qin carried the unconscious young princess and disappeared into the forest.
Su Yu kept the token and recuperated on the spot.
Although his injuries were serious, with his strong body, the Holy Order, and the help of Senior Qin's herbs, he quickly recovered.
Two days later, Su Yu's injuries were mostly healed. He suddenly opened his eyes, glistening.
A powerful energy filled his limbs and bones, far surpassing that of a Level Four Upper Tier.
As he punched and slapped, the crackling sounds of beans being fried could be heard continuously.
"This is a blessing in disguise. After a few serious injuries, the Jade Fire Marrow in my body was stimulated, allowing my cultivation level to break through." Su Yu was overjoyed as he felt his cultivation level reach Level Four Peak.
With the Holy Meet at hand, any increase in cultivation level was extremely valuable.
"If I were to meet the First Prince again, I might be able to fight him alone!" Su Yu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If the First Prince was not killed, Su Yu would never be able to rest in peace!
Rustle —
Su Yu's ears trembled slightly. A strange sound entered his ears.
It was not the sound of an animal in the forest, but the sound of human footsteps.
With a serious expression, Su Yu's eyes turned and he silently left the cave. Using Cloud Shadow, he was like the shadow of a white cloud, like duckweed floating on the waves of a river. He suddenly flew two miles away and hid behind a crack in the rock.
Su Yu's eyes gradually turned into crystals. With his powerful eyesight, he could clearly see two miles away.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every insect, and every bird seemed to be right in front of him.
Swoosh, swoosh —
Three middle-aged men dressed like hunters sneakily approached the cave. They hid in the bushes 200 feet away, not moving an inch.
The middle-aged man in the lead had a scar between his brows. His abilities were at Level Five Peak.
The two young men on his left and right were at Level Five Upper Tier.
This powerful combination was enough to wipe out any strong martial artist below Level Six.
Su Yu laughed coldly. How could a strong Level Five martial artist be willing to be a hunter?
Without a doubt, they were sent by the First Prince to assassinate Su Yu.
A few days ago, Senior Qin had escaped in a hurry, inevitably leaving behind traces. Two days was enough for the pursuers to find him.
Su Yu had the Holy Mark on him. Even if the First Prince had the guts, he would not dare to kill Su Yu openly.
Only assassination could solve the problem once and for all.
"Bodyguard Chen, what should we do?" The two hunters on his left and right were experienced, using their eyes to communicate.
Bodyguard Chen, a Level Five Peak, was the leader.
The three of them were originally the personal bodyguards that escorted the Duke of Qin to the engagement ceremony of the Duke of Xianyu's daughter. Two days ago, they were secretly ordered to assassinate Su Yu.
At first, they were shocked.
But when the Duke of Qin made them unable to resist the temptation, they took the risk and assassinated Su Yu.
They were prepared to die on this trip.
If Su Yu did not die, they would.
Anyone who dared to attack a Holy Seal bearer would not be able to escape death.
The scar between Bodyguard Chen's eyebrows wiggled, his fierce eyes carefully observing the surroundings, "There are no snakes, insects, rats, or ants near the cave. This means that there are people in the cave, and the wild beasts do not dare approach."
"The footprints near the cave entrance are fresh, which means that there has been some activity recently."
"In conclusion, it is highly likely that they are still in the cave, or have just left not long ago!"
Bodyguard Chen was experienced. After some observation, he made a deduction that was close to the truth.
"The two of you keep watch in secret, I will go back and inform Lord Bai Qixiong!" Bodyguard Chen said softly. Like a green snake in the grass, he moved cautiously, returning along the path he came from.
With Senior Qin, who was at Level Seven of the Martial Path, Bodyguard Chen and two Level Five Upper Tiers would not be able to kill Su Yu.
To ensure that nothing went wrong, the First Prince secretly ordered Bai Qixiong to coordinate from the side, and gave him a treasure that could release a Level Seven Peak attack. If necessary, he could kill Senior Qin.
The two Level Five Upper Tier experts stayed behind to keep watch.
The two of them concentrated, like cheetahs lying in ambush. Their eyes were sharp, and they did not move.
A few minutes passed.
Whoosh —
There was a sudden change!
