447: Su Chen learns the truth!
"Su Ming, I've got it!"
Su Chen rushed out of the cave entrance, the excitement on his face beyond words.
He looked around eagerly, wanting to share this joy with Su Ming immediately.
"The immortal marrow jade heart lotus is in my hands!"
However, before his gaze could reach far, it was firmly captured by a familiar figure near the cave entrance.
That face carried a hint of playfulness and scrutiny.
It caused the smile on Su Chen's face to freeze instantly.
"Xiao... Senior Brother Xiao?"
Su Chen's tone was filled with disbelief.
He hadn't expected Xiao Yifei to be here, and to have arrived so quickly.
"I didn't expect you to come so fast!"
Xiao Yifei glanced at the ring on Su Chen's finger, his face showing no emotion as he spoke calmly.
"Where is the item?"
Su Chen's heart tightened.
Subconsciously, he hid his hand behind his back.
He knew what the item Xiao Yifei was referring to was, but he still tried to play dumb.
"Item? What item?"
Xiao Yifei's expression darkened, and his tone became somewhat impatient.
"The immortal marrow jade heart lotus!"
He stared intently at Su Chen.
"You have no use for this thing!"
Xiao Yifei paused, his tone softening slightly, but the underlying pressure did not diminish at all.
"My Revered Master just happens to need this item to nurse his health!"
Upon hearing this, a look of conflict appeared on Su Chen's face.
Although he was usually careless and occasionally owed some points, he was an honest person at heart.
Su Ming had brought him out, not only not looking down on his low cultivation, but even risking his life to buy time for him in a moment of crisis.
He kept this kindness engraved in his heart.
"Senior Brother Xiao, that's something we worked hard to get. You can't take it away!"
Su Chen mustered his courage and spoke with a firm tone.
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei's expression instantly turned gloomy, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Without me coming to save you, do you think you'd still be alive?"
"I..."
Su Chen was speechless.
Subconsciously, he turned his gaze toward Su Ming, who was walking over with difficulty.
Su Ming was covered in blood and in a wretched state, but his eyes were filled with determination.
"Xiao Yifei!"
Su Chen took a deep breath, as if he had made a certain decision.
He suddenly raised his voice and shouted at Xiao Yifei.
"My Senior Sister asked you to help save me, and yet you still want to steal my things!"
He pointed at Xiao Yifei and continued to shout emotionally.
"I'm telling you, if you steal this thing, don't even think about being with my Senior Sister again!"
Hearing Su Qingyuan's name, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yifei's face.
"Do you think I actually like Su Qingyuan?"
The corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc, his tone full of disdain.
Xiao Yifei's gaze was cold as he stared directly at Su Chen.
The aura around him suddenly became dangerous.
"Very well!"
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
He took a step forward, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped Su Chen, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"I've had enough of you, you waste. Every time, I'm the one who has to clean up your mess!"
Looking at the gloomy Xiao Yifei before him, a strong sense of unease instantly rose in Su Chen's heart.
He felt the killing intent radiating from Xiao Yifei, which made the hair all over his body stand on end.
"Xiao Yifei! What do you want to do!"
Su Chen's voice trembled slightly as he stared wide-eyed, asking in disbelief.
"Are you trying to kill me?"
Hearing this, a strange smile appeared on Xiao Yifei's face, his eyes filled with amusement.
"Hmph, kill you?"
He shook his head and said contemptuously.
"No, no, no! You simply died at the hands of an Immortal King Aberration!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Su Ming and Su Chen changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
"Xiao Yifei, you can't kill me!"
Su Chen's voice carried a hint of desperation as he struggled desperately to escape Xiao Yifei's pressure.
"If my Senior Sister finds out, she definitely won't let you off!"
"Hahaha!"
Xiao Yifei threw his head back and laughed, his laughter filled with madness and disdain.
"To tell you the truth, Su Qingyuan's end will be the same as yours. The moment she breaks through to the Immortal King Realm will be the day she dies!"
He stopped laughing and stared coldly at Su Chen, saying word by word.
"She is nothing more than a shadow raised by Revered Master!"
Xiao Yifei paused, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Otherwise, why do you think I'm the one who comes out every time, instead of Su Qingyuan herself?"
After hearing these words, Su Chen's entire being froze, his mind going completely blank.
He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Su Qingyuan was actually just a shadow being raised.
"You... what do you mean?"
His voice trembled as he stared fixedly at Xiao Yifei.
He tried to find a trace of a joke on the other's face.
But all he saw was endless mockery.
"What do you mean by that?"
Su Chen refused to give up and continued to ask.
Not far away, hearing Xiao Yifei's words, a sharp light flashed in Su Ming's eyes.
As expected, Xiao Yifei's words confirmed his previous suspicion.
He had long suspected that Su Qingyuan was being targeted by the higher-ups of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.
He just hadn't expected that the person involved would be Xiao Yifei's Revered Master.
In a place where no one noticed.
The corners of Su Ming's mouth curled up slightly, a cold smile vanishing in an instant.
All of this was completely recorded by the recording crystal he had quietly activated.
Although some accidents had occurred during this outing.
The final outcome was not much different from his original plan.
"Su Ming! Save me!"
Seeing Xiao Yifei closing in step by step, Su Chen finally couldn't hold on.
He almost instinctively let out a roar for help toward Su Ming.
His voice was filled with despair and fear.
At the same time, he didn't forget to remind him.
"The immortal marrow jade heart lotus is still on me!"
Xiao Yifei heard Su Chen calling for help from Su Ming.
An even more disdainful expression appeared on his face, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Save you?"
"With just this cripple?"
Xiao Yifei didn't even turn his head, just staring at Su Chen with that playful gaze, an evil smile on his face.
"He can't even save himself, how's he going to save you?"
In his eyes.
Su Ming was just a waste who was seriously injured and half-dead.
He didn't pose the slightest threat to him.
Seeing this, Su Chen finally couldn't help but start begging for mercy.
His face was pale, his body trembling uncontrollably, and the immortal marrow jade heart lotus in his hand seemed to have become a hot potato.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I'll give you the immortal marrow jade heart lotus, just let me go, okay!"
He was almost in tears, his knees buckled as he prepared to kneel on the ground.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I was wrong! Please don't kill me!"
However, Xiao Yifei only looked at him coldly, without a hint of pity in his eyes, only endless indifference.
"Too late!"
Just at this critical moment, Su Ming decisively struck!
