210: Chu Chen surrenders

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen nodded desperately, afraid that if he nodded too slowly, Su Xuan would go back on his word.

"I'll write! I'll write! Father Su! Give me an hour, at most an hour, and I'll be done!"

Chu Chen said loudly.

"Alright! The pen and paper are here, hurry up and start!"

Su Xuan smirked.

Chu Chen tremblingly took the paper and pen from Su Xuan's hand, while also brewing emotions in his heart.

He thought about all the sad things in his life, and the good and bad things, finally getting his emotions ready.

With a series of rustling sounds, in less than an hour, a family letter that even Su Xuan couldn't help but shed tears over was finished.

"Father Su, can I ask you for something..."

After writing, Chu Chen felt deeply ashamed and wanted to do something to compensate.

"Just call me Father, what's with 'Father Su'? It makes us seem so distant!"

Su Xuan laughed.

"Father... then can I ask you for something?"

In his life, Chu Chen had only called two people Father: his own biological father, and Su Xuan.

"Tell me! You're my son now! If it's something small, it's not like I can't agree!"

Su Xuan smirked.

Agreeing is one thing, but it doesn't mean he would do it. Su Xuan had flexible moral standards and a knack for nitpicking.

"Father, can I beg you, when Yun Shu arrives, please don't harm her... You can do whatever you want to her, but I beg you, please don't harm her..."

Even though he felt incredibly aggrieved, Chu Chen spoke these words without hesitation.

This was the last thing he could do for Yun Shu, and his so-called final "love you!"

"I'm sorry, Yun Shu! It's all my fault... If there's another chance in the future, I will definitely take good care of you..."

As he spoke, Chu Chen burst into tears, his eyes welling up. Anyone who didn't know would think his parents had died.

"Alright, no problem! It's a small matter! I'll take good care of her for you!"

"But you're overthinking it. When she arrives, I'll be too busy doting on her! How could I possibly harm her?"

After speaking, the smile on Su Xuan's face instantly turned sinister, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.

"That's good... that's good..."

Chu Chen immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Hahahahaha! It seems you really love her! But your love is truly too fake!"

"You just say it, but when it comes down to it, didn't you just sell her out?"

Facing Su Xuan's mockery, Chu Chen was already numb. Although he felt aggrieved inside, it wasn't enough to break his composure.

"Useless, useless. I've mocked him so much, yet he hasn't reacted at all. It seems only by taking down Yun Xi can Chu Chen's Luck value be completely erased!"

Su Xuan thought.

...

The demon lair was very far from the Chu family. Even a Great Emperor would need half a month to reach it by normal flight alone.

However, the Haoyue Sect had many branches, and there was one not far from the Chu family.

Branches all had special Formation arrays, and no one could use them except for the branch managers.

Even though it was far away, the letter was delivered to Yun Shu the next morning.

"Husband... a letter for me? What's going on?"

Upon receiving the letter, Yun Shu immediately felt a sense of unease. In the past, Chu Chen had never written her such things when he went out!

Moreover, Chu Chen would usually report his whereabouts every few days, but this time, he had been out for a long time past the reporting time, and Yun Shu still had no news of him.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Chen and his Dao Protector's soul tokens were still lit, Yun Shu would have thought something had happened to Chu Chen!

Unfortunately, what was meant to come would always come. Yun Shu's previous premonition now seemed to be coming true!

"Young Master, may I ask where my husband..."

Yun Shu wanted to ask where Chu Chen had given her the letter, but the person had already fled.

Are you kidding? How could a demonic cultivator dare to linger near the Chu family? If it weren't for the strict orders from above, and him happening to be chosen, he wouldn't dare to come here even if it killed him.

Worried, Yun Shu had no choice but to open the letter.

The letter contained a long passage of sentimental words, like a love letter, and also recounted the past between the two of them.

Upon seeing it, Yun Shu was deeply moved, and her previous dissatisfaction with Chu Chen slowly dissipated.

"So he still cares about me so much... I must go save him! I must go save my husband!"

Yun Shu wiped away her tears, turned, and rushed into her room to pack her bags.

She knew that this trip would be fraught with danger, but her love for Chu Chen had already surged into her heart.

As the saying goes, once love-struck, nothing else matters. So at this moment, Yun Shu couldn't care less about anything else.

She stuffed several handy Magical Artifacts, Medicinal Pills, and some daily necessities into her bag, picked up her sword, and turned to walk towards the Haoyue Sect's branch.

Because of the waist token given by Su Xuan, and with Sun Wuji secretly escorting her, Yun Shu encountered no obstacles along the way.

Upon arriving at the Haoyue Sect branch, the dark, damp, and decaying atmosphere within assaulted her, causing her to frown.

The surroundings were dim, with only a few demonic lamps emitting a faint green glow barely illuminating the path ahead.

"Who's there!"

A rough voice suddenly rang out. Several demonic cultivators sprang out from the shadows, surrounding Yun Shu, their weapons glinting with cold light.

When they saw the waist token on Yun Shu, they immediately showed expressions of fear.

"Useless! This is the important person specifically requested by the higher-ups! Quickly bring her over, if you're late! It's a dead end!"

The demonic cultivators immediately acted like servants, respectfully approaching Yun Shu, not only helping her with her luggage but also showing concern.

This greatly impacted Yun Xi's worldview.

Didn't they say that demonic cultivators all had three heads and six arms, were as vicious as ghosts, and killed without blinking an eye?

However, what she was seeing now didn't seem to be what she had imagined!

Soon, Yun Shu was led to the entrance of the teleportation Formation. With a flash of white light, the next second, Yun Shu arrived at the Haoyue Sect.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Yun Shu entered, she clearly felt uncomfortable. The evil Qi here made her feel physically ill.

Fortunately, with the previous waist token, Yun Shu only felt uncomfortable for a moment before the feeling disappeared.

"Miss Yun! Welcome to the Haoyue Sect! Heheheh!"

As Yun Shu was wondering, a tall figure had already appeared behind her.
