74: Su Lianxue's awareness that she is not a saint and cannot protect everyone

That night, Han Feng snuck back into Guan Xue Holy Land to investigate. Under Senior's guidance, he indeed discovered that his clansmen were imprisoned in the dungeon of Guan Xue Holy Land.

Although some of them had weak Qi, fortunately, they were still alive.

To ensure a greater chance of success, Han Feng did not act rashly. Instead, under Senior's guidance, he went to find several items to create some talismans, which would provide more assurance.

After all, it was all of his clansmen, including his parents. There was only one chance, and he could not be careless.

The next day, in the dungeon of Guan Xue Holy Land.

This was where foreign enemies were held, and it was usually empty, but today it was exceptionally lively.

"Su Lianxue! You ungrateful wretch! My cousin loved you for so long! How could you conspire with outsiders to harm our Han Family!"

"If Han Feng cousin knew, how disappointed he would be!!!"

Even with her mouth bound, a beautiful young woman did not stop. Especially after seeing Su Lianxue enter the dungeon, she cursed at her angrily.

The surrounding Han Family members were indignant but dared not speak. They were particularly speechless when they heard the young woman's words.

Disappointed?

Who was disappointed?

That useless Han Feng?

However, the crowd thought it was best not to say much, as this person, to be precise, was not a Han Family member. Her origins were mysterious, and no one could control her. Only Han Feng was close to her on a daily basis.

"Disappointed?"

Su Lianxue's clear, cold voice held a hint of sarcasm. She looked at the young woman who had spoken: "What does Han Feng's disappointment have to do with me? Don't think too highly of yourself, Jiang Siyu."

"The person you cherish, I do not."

After speaking, Su Lianxue looked at a man lying in the cell. Complex emotions flashed in her eyes but quickly returned to calmness. She simply placed a package she had brought in front of the cell door.

"Uncle Han, I'm sorry. Here's some medicine. It should make you feel better."

The Uncle Han she referred to was naturally Han Feng's father, who had always treated Su Lianxue like a daughter-in-law and cared for her greatly.

Su Lianxue did not participate in the operation to apprehend the Han Family. She had only heard that Han Feng's father, Han Tian, attempted to resist but was easily defeated by a powerful expert sent by Your Highness, who simply waved his hand from a distance, nearly causing him to perish.

One must know that Han Tian, as the head of one of Guan Nan City's four great Families, had a cultivation comparable to an inner Elder of Guan Xue Holy Land. To be defeated so easily... Su Lianxue looked up to Jun Lingxiao even more.

"Cough cough... Lianxue... I can call you that, right?"

"Considering how well I've treated you all these years, can you tell Uncle why this is happening?"

Han Tian, supported by his wife, struggled to sit up halfway and asked with deep confusion.

He couldn't understand why this girl, whom he regarded as his daughter-in-law, would do such a thing. What exactly happened at Guan Xue Holy Land?

"What else could have happened? She's just a complete ingrate. We were all so good to her."

Jiang Siyu, beside her, said this and gave Su Lianxue a big eye-roll.

However, Su Lianxue didn't mind. She simply uttered a name softly.

"Shen Gaoyang... Uncle Han, do you remember this person?"

"All the trouble started here. Your Han Family provoked someone you shouldn't have, and now someone has come to collect a debt, that's all."

"Shen Gaoyang?" Han Tian was stunned. He pondered for a long time but couldn't recall who this person was. He vaguely remembered there used to be a Chu Family, back when Guan Nan City's four great Families weren't as strong as they are now, in an era where many Families vied for power.

After thinking for a moment and failing to remember, he stopped trying. Instead, he looked intently at Su Lianxue:

"Lianxue, even if it's about collecting a debt, I still can't understand what this has to do with you. Even if we take a step back, shouldn't our relationship mean we should unite and resist? You helping outsiders is...?"

At this, Han Feng's mother also began to speak: "Could it be that you, Lianxue, were threatened? Or are you biding your time? Or perhaps the other party offered some priceless treasure? Lianxue, we watched you grow up, and we know you're not that kind of person. If there are any hidden difficulties, you can tell us."

Listening to their words, Su Lianxue sighed. Finally, she looked up and met their gaze.

"I wasn't threatened, I wasn't bribed, and there's no such thing as temporary submission leading to something later."

"Uncle Han, the person behind this has a very powerful background. You can't afford to provoke them, and neither can we."

"Moreover, I'm not as good as you think. I begged that adult for an opportunity, an opportunity I've always dreamed of..."

Indeed, just last night, Su Lianxue and Jun Lingxiao reached an agreement.

Since Jun Lingxiao was determined to kill Han Feng, she would be the one to do it.

In return, Jun Lingxiao would take Su Lianxue to the Middle Thousand World to find her mother. It was a trade she couldn't quite articulate.

On one side was her childhood friend, and on the other was the mother she dreamed of. It was a difficult choice.

However, this transaction was actually meaningless, because the outcome was already predetermined.

"Uncle Han, don't worry. Han Feng left last night. He wanted to take me with him, but I refused."

"If he hasn't appeared by now, it means he left the city long ago and will never return."

"Your Highness is not a bloodthirsty person... As long as those connected to Shen Gaoyang are found, the rest should be safe..."

Su Lianxue spoke with some hesitation, not because she was conflicted about Jun Lingxiao's character.

In her opinion, was there any point in dwelling on such things?

This world was just that cruel. She was prepared to kill and prepared to be killed. Someone would always die; there was no difference between dying sooner or later.

She had also tried to fight for them, but the fact was... if she dared to say one more word for the Han Family, then the next Family to be annihilated would be her Guan Xue Holy Land.

Jun Lingxiao was truly capable of doing it.

Su Lianxue was kind-hearted, but that didn't mean she was a Saint.

Han Feng was just her childhood friend, not a lover.

She could still distinguish between her own people and others. Sacrificing her own Family for others would truly make her a fool.

Su Lianxue now felt an unprecedented clarity of mind. Her thought was simple: if she could save them, she would; if not, so be it.

After clarifying this, she was no longer as conflicted as before. She felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

"Uncle Han, take care of yourselves and await Your Highness's judgment."

Su Lianxue had now become a loyal supporter of Jun Lingxiao. She wanted to go to the Upper Realm, but she also didn't want to confront Han Feng. So she had waited here all night, and fortunately, she didn't encounter Han Feng coming to rescue people. Her heart was at peace.

And just then, someone rushed in from outside:

"Saintess! Han Feng... he's here!"

.

This question has been answered: he is a male.

However, he's not a typical villain; he's a Child of Destiny. I'll write him from a new perspective, for example, a protagonist trapped in a loop, killed a thousand times, and scared of death. He'll kneel to Jun Lingxiao immediately upon seeing him, a very self-aware bumpkin. I'll write it in a possibly unexpected and humorous way; this is a completely new attempt.

Of course, there will be others in the future. This time it's a male Child of Destiny; next time it might be a female villain or something similar. I hope for active participation.

A pure female villain might not even like the male lead; she just likes to kill, kill, kill.
