They never would have thought that Su 'Er would say such a thing.
In order to hold this birthday banquet, the Su family had invited all of Hua Xia's most powerful families and nobles. Every single one of them had a lot of power in Hua Xia. They had gone through so much trouble just to let them witness the marriage with the Xuanyuan family, so that the entire world would know about it and support Su 'Er.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
Su Hong Cheng knew very well what the consequences would be if he really refused today. Su Hong Cheng wished that all the guests in the hall who had been invited to witness and build momentum would disappear immediately. He didn't dare to look at the Xuanyuan father and son's expressions, and he hurriedly put his hand on Su 'Er's shoulder. The powerful Mayor of Beijing stuttered, "Su' Er … y-y-you … What did you just say … You can't … You can't joke about something like this … You clearly agreed to the engagement, but t-t-this …"
Su 'Er shook her head as she softly said, "Dad, I wasn't joking. Xuanyuan Xue Yi is indeed … very outstanding, but I don't like him at all. The only reason I didn't reject him before was because my father, uncle, and aunty …. They all thought that Xuanyuan Xue Yi was a good person and told me that he was the best person for me. I was afraid that if I rejected him, my father, uncle, and aunty wouldn't be happy, so I … I … "
Su 'Er's voice was incredibly soft, but her words were incredibly resolute. His daughter's gaze was incredibly resolute, and even as a father, he didn't recognize her. In his memories, his daughter was as docile as a little kitten. She would do whatever he said, and she was incredibly obedient and submissive. Hearing her words, Su Hong Cheng's consciousness became slightly dazed … At this moment, he finally understood. He only saw his daughter's obedience in this marriage, but he ignored her personality … She was obedient, but that didn't mean she was willing.
Today, it was the first time that she had resolutely refused him.
Although the consequences of this matter would be extremely serious, he could not bear to reprimand his daughter, who had always been so obedient, nor could he reprimand her. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh, it's my fault for not thinking things through. I can't blame you … If you're really … like this, then the matter with Xue Yi can be postponed. There's no need to reject him completely. After all, you've had too little contact with Xue Yi, and you don't have any emotional foundation. This is indeed my and Brother Xuanyuan's mistake. However, feelings could be cultivated slowly. Furthermore, Xue Yi's looks, character, and abilities are all outstanding. He also has very powerful swordsmanship. With him by your side, no one will be able to bully you … "
Su Hong Cheng was still trying his best. He really didn't want to give up on his engagement with Xuanyuan Xue Yi. In this situation, even if he wanted to give up, he had to force himself not to. Otherwise … the consequences would be too severe. Their opponent was the Long family's guardian family, the Xuanyuan family with a thousand years of history!
He admired Xuanyuan Xue Yi. He had always thought that no one in the younger generation could compare to him. He thought that if he rejected Xuanyuan Xue Yi, it would be almost impossible for his daughter to find a man as outstanding as him. However, he never thought that Su 'Er would still reject him, and give him an even more shocking reply, "Dad … I'm sorry … I can't like him … I already … have someone I like …"
"Who? Who is the person you like? "
Su Hong Cheng hurriedly asked. He was even more emotional than a normal father. He had always thought that he understood his daughter very well. When she was at home, she almost never went out. Even if she did, she would be taken out by a few of her sisters. She almost never interacted with men. Afterwards, in order to help Yun Meng Xin, she had asked to move out. Of course, he had happily agreed to his daughter's request. Moreover, it was the only daughter of the Battle Alliance's Xiao Zhan and the Yun family's daughter, so he wasn't worried at all. Instead, he felt quite happy.
And now, she was telling him that she already liked someone …
This reply almost caused Su Hong Cheng to be dumbfounded.
To the Xuanyuan father and son, this reply made them feel as if they had swallowed a fly.
She already had someone she liked … and had come to get engaged to the Xuanyuan family … and then publicly rejected them! Did she think the Xuanyuan family was a monkey?!
As for Xuanyuan Xue Yi, although he was doing his best to control himself, his handsome face was slightly twisted … he felt as if he had been made a cuckold.
"You already have someone you like? Haha … "Xuanyuan Sheng finally spoke. His cold laugh was heard by everyone in the hall, causing their hearts to tremble. Su Hong Cheng inwardly sighed. They knew that the Xuanyuan family's leader was furious.
After all, the Su family held a lot of power. Xuanyuan Sheng could vent his anger, but he didn't dare to go too far. He glanced at the man in white, wearing a baseball cap, and found an outlet to vent his anger … if it wasn't for this person suddenly jumping out, things wouldn't have developed to this point. He pointed at Ling Chen as he coldly said, "Little Su 'Er, don't tell me he's your lover! I was wondering why this young man would jump out and cause trouble, and hearing that little Su 'Er already has someone she likes … heheh, although I'm not very smart, I know what's going on. "
Xuanyuan Sheng's cold laugh and actions caused everyone's gaze to fall on Ling Chen. Su Hong Cheng knew that he was venting his anger, but he was in the wrong, so he couldn't say anything. He could only sigh as he said, "Brother Xuanyuan, I'm simply …"
Xuanyuan Sheng cut him off. The cold smile on his face didn't change, but he didn't even look at Su Hong Cheng as he looked at Ling Chen, "Brother Su, there's no need to say anything else. I understand, so there's no need to say anything else. Forget it, it looks like my son Xuanyuan Xue Yi isn't worthy of your Su family. However, at least let us see your Princess Su 'Er's lover, your Su family's future son-in-law. I'm sure he's at least a hundred times better than my son Xue Yi. "
Su Hong Cheng bitterly laughed, "Brother Xuanyuan, you've misunderstood. This person …"
"Hahahaha!"
This time, it was a burst of laughter that cut Su Hong Cheng off. Ling Chen laughed as he raised his head, his arrogant voice spreading to every corner of the hall, "Xuanyuan Sheng, we've known each other for many years, and it's only been a few months since we last met. What, do you not recognise me anymore?"
A white peaked cap flew into the air and landed on the ground in the distance. Ling Chen's smile was completely revealed to Xuanyuan Sheng, as well as everyone else.
"It's … It's … It's you!!"
Xuanyuan Sheng cried out in fear as his eyes widened. His body seemed to have been pushed by some sort of force, and he stumbled back 2 steps … his reaction shocked everyone present. Who was Xuanyuan Sheng? He was the current leader of the Xuanyuan family! He was an extraordinary existence amongst humans, and was a legendary figure in the eyes of mortals. In terms of status, background and strength, no one could compare to him. It could be said that there was nothing in the world that he feared …
However, when faced with this young man who had revealed his true face, he looked as if he had seen a ghost!
"Hehe …" Ling Chen laughed, his laugh was quite playful, "Leader of the Xuanyuan family, your arm looks like it's recovering quite well. But with your left and right arms moving, it's a bit uncoordinated. Do you want me to help you trim your left arm? "
"You … You …" Xuanyuan Sheng breathed heavily as his body trembled. His pale face was covered in sweat. The pain of his arm being torn off that night had made him wish he was dead. On the way to the hospital, he had wanted to end his own life many times. After a few months, although he had recovered quite well, the shadow that Ling Chen had left on him was something that he would never be able to forget. In the past, Xuanyuan Sheng had never been afraid of anyone. However, after that night, Ling Chen had become his only nightmare.
"It's … you!!"
This time, it was Murong Xiong Tian who yelled out. He stood up from his seat with a 'whoosh', his muscles bulging and his bones cracking.
That night, it was quite dark, and Ling Chen was covered in blood, so Murong Xiong Tian couldn't see clearly. As such, when Ling Chen revealed his true face, he felt that it was quite familiar, but he wasn't sure. However, when he yelled out about Xuanyuan Sheng's arm, he no longer had any suspicions. As he stood up, more and more people recognised Ling Chen.
"It's him! It's the national fugitive called Ling Chen! The leader of a terrorist organisation!! "
As soon as these words were shouted, everyone recognized who this person was. Cries of surprise rang out everywhere, and Su Hong Cheng's face paled in fright. Su Yi Cheng leapt onto the stage and stood in front of Su Hong Cheng and Su 'Er as he frowned … to the outside world, the Long family had announced that a terrorist organisation led by Ling Chen had attacked the Long family. However, as the Third Chief, how could he not know what had happened that night … that night, it was a young man who had torn through the Long family's defences, destroyed the Long family's seven main forces, and heavily injured Murong Xiong Tian, Xuanyuan Sheng, and Xuanyuan Dao …
He was simply like a demon god …
He had always wanted to know just what kind of person had such terrifying abilities … and now, that person was standing in front of him … and he was even younger than the person in the photo!
"Take him down … no! Kill him on the spot!! "
Su Yi Cheng decisively ordered. This young man was already listed as the most terrifying person in all of Hua Xia, and the things he had done were shocking and terrifying. The only thing they could do was to kill him.
As he gave the order, 30 or so light and secret guards rushed out like cheetahs, and 30 pitch-black muzzles locked onto Ling Chen's temples … Su 'Er's face paled, and just as she was about to yell' no ', a deafening roar sounded out, "Stop!!"
