"Since I've already killed someone, I'm not afraid of killing more" Su Cher muttered to herself.
Su Wen couldn't help but take a step back.
Su Cher tilted her head and looked at Su Wen.
"Little brother, did you forget that I'm a 4th stage Wind Elemental Professionist?"
"What makes you think I'll let you do whatever you want?"
"Is it because we're related by blood that you think I won't do anything to you?"
"But if being related by blood really does work, why would you do this to me?"
The entire banquet hall went silent.
Everyone looked at Su Cher, then at the corpse on the ground.
"You — — as the eldest daughter of Su family, you killed someone in front of everyone — — -"
Su Wen's expression had already changed. This was no longer the kind and easily manipulated sister he knew.
He took a few steps back, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
"As the eldest daughter of Su family, if I don't do anything when someone threatens me, that would be shameful"
As Su Cher continued, she seemed to have fallen into a strange state.
"Why do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Because my grades have always been good? Or because I'm helping the poor? Or because I've done nothing but cultivate? "she muttered.
She walked towards Su Wen.
Su Wen's teeth were clattering, he took a few steps back, rolled on the ground, then quickly crawled back.
"What are you doing!?"
A gentle male voice called out.
Everyone turned to look, only to see the pillar of the Su family's main branch, Su Cher's father, Su Wen Sheng.
"Xue Er, what kind of situation is this? You're committing murder in front of everyone! "he nonchalantly scolded.
Su Cher looked at her father and very seriously answered: "Because a mere follower dared to threaten me, asking me to act according to his will"
Su Cher's father was stunned, unable to say anything.
He had only just arrived, but didn't expect it to be like this.
He originally wanted to use the scolding to gloss over his daughter's mistake, but from the looks of it, he didn't want to let it go just like that.
Su Wen Sheng looked at the corpse on the ground.
— — -this is a member of the second branch.
Daring to touch my daughter, damn it!
A strong anger surged in his heart, and he gave a look to the side.
Soon, someone came up and cleaned up the corpses and bloodstains on the ground. It was as if nothing had happened at the ball.
Seeing this, the nobles tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, it's just a small matter. Xue 'er did the right thing."
"That's right, such a follower would have been beaten to death in our family."
"Miss Xue 'er has the air of a great noble."
Su Wensheng nodded at Su Cher, indicating for his daughter to follow him.
The two of them walked out of the ballroom, crossed several walls, and arrived at Su Sheng Wen's study room.
The door was slammed shut.
Su Wensheng said angrily, "Whatever you want to do, do it in private. Do you still want to get married after doing such a thing in public?"
Su Cher lowered her head and asked, "Father, do you really want me to get married? I am a powerful professional. Father, are you willing to let me fall into the outer sect? "
Su Wensheng paused, thinking that he had understood something.
His expression softened, his tone also became a bit warmer: "I don't want you to get married, this is your mother's idea. She believes that it's a good thing for a girl to find a good husband as soon as possible"
"As parents, of course we want you to have a good life"
Hearing that, Su Xue Er finally looked up at her father.
She couldn't help but ask: "Gu Qing Shan is the Federation's chief Mech scientist, even princess Anna likes him, why don't you want to accept such a person?"
"Silly child, his technology belongs to the entire Federation, controlled by Impartial Goddess, even we can't pry into it"
Su Wensheng's eyes showed a bit of shrewdness: "And his Mech is in your hands, so you can take it apart and restore it at any time"
"That's why, he isn't important"
Su Cher hurriedly said: "But he will improve, he will make more achievements in the future, he will achieve even more"
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? He's only a normal person, he doesn't have any authority! "
"Is authority really that important?" Su Cher gritted her teeth.
Su Wen Wen looked at his daughter, looked at her beautiful face that was as delicate as a painting, and suddenly sighed.
"Daughter, without authority, your future will be very bleak"
"Father, I don't think I won't be able to gain authority after being with him"
Su Wensheng looked at his daughter, remembering her 4th stage Elementalist ability, he couldn't help but agree.
He dejectedly leaned back on his chair, casually said: "If you were the daughter of our Su family's 2nd branch, I wouldn't stop you at all, I would definitely marry you off to Gu Qing Shan"
This statement was so strange that Su Cher couldn't help but open her eyes wide, asking: "2nd branch? I don't understand what you mean "
Su Wensheng went silent for a bit, then suddenly smiled: "That brat sure has lived a long life, living until now"
Su Cher's expression changed, hurriedly asked: "What do you mean? Who would want to do anything to him? "
"It's not anyone who wants to do anything to him, my dear daughter" Su Wensheng sighed, "when he confessed to you, it wasn't just us, any Lord's direct line of descent would think it was a provocation and would want to do anything to him"
"Why!" Su Cher exclaimed.
"Because your destined husband will be a member of the 9 Lords' direct line of descent" Su Wensheng answered.
"Destined from birth …?"
Su Cher mulled over this sentence, looking at her father in confusion.
Su Wensheng shook his head and sighed.
Since he's already said this much, he might as well make things clear.
"My daughter, you should know, every young lady of the 9 Lords' direct line of descent, according to the rules, can only marry a member of the 9 Lords' direct line of descent"
Su Cher was stunned, then suddenly recalled the life experiences of the Lords' direct line of descent. So that's how it is.
"No, no" she muttered with a pale face, "why is there such a rule?"
Su Wensheng paced back and forth in the room, annoyed: "Normally, these things can only be told after you're married, but I'm telling you now so that you won't want to be with that brat"
"Our 9 Lords' direct line of descent will marry each other after they come of age, this is to ensure that the secret that the 9 Lords are protecting won't be leaked" Su Wensheng explained.
"What secret?"
"I don't know about that secret either, only the direct line of descent will be able to learn about it on the day that they take over the position of Head of the clan"
"As far as I know, this secret has been protected for 700 years"
"So the secret has never been leaked? You don't know about it either? "Su Cher questioned further.
"30 years ago, the Federation's most famous scientist, Liao Xing, used warp technology to reach the location of the secret"
"Which means, he succeeded"
