324: Chapter 334 Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!

Su Chen felt a roar in his mind, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

His father was far away at the Realm Battlefield in the Wanxiang Star Domain, yet he was in Tianshu City—how could he have been detected?

The methods of the Great Emperor Realm were truly unfathomable.

But none of that mattered now.

At a critical juncture where the entire Family might have to face the Realm Demons at any moment, he had actually indulged in romantic entanglements, even causing his Qi to become unstable—this was simply failing to make progress.

"Father."

Su Chen's knees went weak, and he knelt straight down on the ground.

He raised his head, looking at Su Feng with a face full of shame, and said through gritted teeth.

"Chen'er was wrong! Chen'er should not have wasted precious time on romantic entanglements when the situation was so tense, betraying Father's trust and failing Mother's expectations."

As soon as these words were spoken, the brothers around him were all stunned.

Su Mo, the most straightforward of them, stepped forward and looked at Su Chen in disbelief: "Third Brother, are you… looking for a Dao Companion outside?"

"You are muddled!" Su Mo pointed at him, heartbroken, his eyes filled with frustration at his lack of ambition.

"We were born to climb the path of the Dao; how could you waste time on such matters?"

The eldest son, Su Hao, also nodded in deep agreement: "That's right. The Realm Demons could attack at any moment; romance is at least something to consider thousands of years from now. You manage the Family's logistical lifeline and have so many things to handle every day—how can you be so distracted?"

Watching his two elder brothers' stern condemnations, Su Chen buried his head even lower, feeling completely ashamed.

Ying Yue'e stood behind Su Feng, watching her son kneeling on the ground. She frowned slightly but ultimately chose to remain silent, waiting for Su Feng's decision.

Just as the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive and everyone thought Su Feng was about to impose a punishment.

"Slap!"

Yan Ling'er walked straight up and slapped the back of Su Mo's head: "You blockhead, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

She was furious and pointed at Su Mo's nose, scolding: "Your third brother has a Dao Companion, but what about you?! Like you, with nothing but cultivation in your head all day, doing nothing but fighting or going into seclusion—when will I be able to hold a grandchild?"

Su Mo clutched his head and looked at his mother with a grievance-filled face: "Mother… it's not that I don't want to. Father is already in the Great Emperor Realm; if I don't work hard, wouldn't I be losing face for him?"

"Besides, women only hinder the speed of my blade!"

The surrounding Su Family descendants, who had also been brainwashed by the competitive atmosphere, nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

Standing on the high platform, Su Feng looked at these children who seemed as if they had been injected with adrenaline, and rubbed his forehead in pain.

He finally discovered where the problem lay.

He had ascended too quickly by relying on the System's rewards, covering in just over a hundred years the path that others took millions of years to walk.

These children all regarded him as a benchmark. Because their Aptitude was too high and the pressure was too great, they thought that as long as they cultivated desperately, they could catch up to their father, causing everyone to have no interest in interacting with the opposite sex.

Instead, it was Su Chen, who had taken over the Great Qin Chamber of Commerce early on and given up the martial path, who had thoughts of starting a Family.

"Chen'er, look up at me." Su Feng's tone was calm.

Su Chen nervously raised his head, waiting for the final verdict.

"You did nothing wrong; the one at fault is me, your father. I've put too much pressure on you all." Su Feng sighed softly.

Afterward, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, he took hold of Ying Yue'e's hand and said with an invigorated expression.

"Since you have a girl you fancy, naturally we must go and pick her up! We will all go as a Family; we absolutely cannot let people think the Su Family is bullying others or slighting the girl!"

He turned to look at his wives, Ao Cangyue, Tu Shan Ya, Ying Liuli, and others: "You all come with me to meet the Su Family's first daughter-in-law!"

Su Chen, kneeling on the ground, was completely dumbfounded.

What happened? Not only was he not punished, but his father was even taking the whole Family to pick her up?

"Silly child, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get up to lead the way." Ying Yue'e scolded with a smile, the joy on her face impossible to conceal.

She had long wanted her son to start a Family, but because Su Feng was always in seclusion or away fighting, it was difficult to bring it up.

Now that Su Feng had personally come forward and put on such a grand display, the stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Coming to his senses, Su Chen was extremely excited and quickly stood up.

Watching this scene, Su Mo leaned over to Su Hao and muttered: "Brother, look, Third Brother has become stupid over a woman."

"Indeed." Su Hao nodded seriously.

"If you two dare to say another word, I will find ten demonesses right now to lock you up and drain you dry!" Yan Ling'er's voice sounded eerily from behind them.

The two brothers' bodies tensed up, and they immediately shut their mouths, not daring to make another sound.

...

Tianshu City, top floor of the Wanbao Tower.

Mu Qinglan was pacing anxiously in her room.

She was a Cultivator who had ascended from a lower Small World after enduring countless hardships, and was now only a Heavenly Immortal.

In Tianshu City, where Golden Immortals were everywhere, she knew deep down how insignificant she was.

Just now, Su Chen had left in a hurry, leaving behind only the words that there was a change in the Family, which had left her heart hanging in her throat.

She knew what a terrifying existence the Su Family was in the Three Thousand Upper Realms.

That was a hegemon that truly dominated all races!

And she, a Loose Cultivator without any background, was simply unworthy of the Su Family's third Young Master in the eyes of the world.

If the Su Family found out about this and felt she had tainted the Su Family Bloodline, they would likely wipe her out directly.

"Rumble—!"

Just then, a deafening sound that shook the heavens and earth came from above Tianshu City.

Nine golden Dragons, each ten thousand zhang long, pulled an immortal carriage as they broke through the air, stopping steadily above the Wanbao Tower.

Following closely behind were over a hundred Su Family experts exuding the pressure of Saints.

A powerful aura directly sealed the entire space, and all the Cultivators in Tianshu City looked up, watching the sky in terror.

The owner of the Wanbao Tower rushed to outside Mu Qinglan's door, trembling in fear, and collapsed to the ground: "Fairy Mu! That Great Emperor Old Ancestor from the Su Family has come."

Hearing this, Mu Qinglan felt the world go black before her eyes, and she fell into complete despair.

Such a grand display, a Great Emperor arriving in person, the whole Family mobilized.

This was clearly the Su Family coming to hold her accountable!

"Creak—"

The door was pushed open.

Su Feng walked in with Ying Yue'e and the others. He wore a warm smile on his face, just about to open his mouth to greet her and take the opportunity to hand over the meeting gift he had prepared.

"Thump!"

Mu Qinglan's legs went weak, and she knelt heavily directly in front of Su Feng.

She suppressed the fear in her heart, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

But at the thought of Su Chen, a hint of determination to face death without fear appeared in her eyes.

For Su Chen's sake, she had to shoulder all the blame; she absolutely could not let him be punished by the Great Emperor because of her!

Mu Qinglan kowtowed violently, her voice trembling but incredibly firm as she shouted:

"Head of the Su Family! All the faults are mine!"

"It was me who was shameless, it was me who coveted wealth and took the initiative to seduce Su Chen! All of this has nothing to do with him; he was also deceived by me!"

"I really like him, but I know I am not worthy of him. Please let Su Chen go; I am willing to bear all the blame. Even if I die here right now, I will have no complaints!"

Su Feng, who was just about to take out the treasure, froze with his hand in mid-air.

Looking at the girl on the ground who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain in order to protect Su Chen.

Su Feng turned back to look at Ying Yue'e, who was equally stunned, and then glanced at Su Chen, who had just squeezed into the room from behind.

He had brought his whole Family of wives and children here happily to pick up his daughter-in-law, so how did it turn into this?

What on earth did Su Chen say to the girl? Was he really that wicked and ferocious?

Su Feng was furious: "Su Chen, you had better give me an explanation!!"
