Chapter 2: I Am Willing to Serve the Young Master

"Yanran, this is the order of the sect, you must obey it!"

The woman sitting in the chief seat slowly opened her eyes, her gaze cold and sharp.

She was Jiang Yunxi, the Sect Master of the Immortal Sword Sect.

"No! I do not agree."

Chu Yanran shook her head and wept, her eyes full of unwillingness, "Sect Master, you don't know, although Su Chen is nominally the only seedling of the Head of the Su Family, he is an out-and-out playboy and a piece of trash!"

Hearing Chu Yanran call him "trash" to his face, Su Chen narrowed his eyes and tapped his right index finger lightly on the armrest of his chair a few times.

Thump~ Thump~ Thump.

In the incredibly silent Council Hall, this sound was like a drumstick striking a heart, causing everyone's faces to reveal expressions of terror.

They were not afraid of Su Chen, but of the old man standing behind him with his eyes slightly closed.

"Shut up!"

A flash of displeasure crossed Jiang Yunxi's brow, "Yanran, this matter is settled, do not waste any more breath!"

"But..." Chu Yanran was still unwilling.

"Bang~"

The doors of the Immortal Sword Sect's Council Hall were suddenly kicked open from the outside.

A young man in fluttering white clothes with an extraordinary temperament rushed in, his face filled with murderous intent as he held his sword.

This person was none other than Chu Yanran's Personal Disciple—Ye Fan!

"Is it you, this piece of trash, who is bullying my master?"

When Ye Fan saw the undried tear stains at the corners of Chu Yanran's eyes, a monstrous rage surged in the depths of his heart, and his gaze shot toward Su Chen, who was sitting beside the head seat, like a blade.

The moment he saw Ye Fan appear, the corners of Su Chen's mouth curled into an indifferent arc.

This person was the enemy from the original story who had nailed him alive to the city wall, ensuring he would never be reincarnated; even if he turned to ash, he would recognize him.

"You rebellious disciple!"

Seeing the killing intent in Ye Fan's eyes, Jiang Yunxi's expression instantly turned icy. She let out a sharp rebuke, her figure flickered and appeared beside Ye Fan, and she raised her palm to strike Ye Fan's face.

Slap~

A crisp sound rang out.

Ye Fan's cheek instantly swelled up, and a stream of fresh blood flowed from his mouth.

This slap made him see stars, and his head felt dizzy.

"Sect... Sect Master..."

Ye Fan covered his red and swollen face, looking at Jiang Yunxi before him in disbelief, "Sect Master, you actually hit me?"

One must know that although he was not Jiang Yunxi's disciple, he was a standout among the younger generation of the Immortal Sword Sect, and usually, Jiang Yunxi treated him with great care; she had never hit or scolded him before.

Now, she was actually hitting him for the sake of an outsider; how could Ye Fan endure this!

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Jiang Yunxi was furious, "Rebellious disciple, get out of here!"

After saying this, she turned to look at Su Chen and apologized, "I hope Young Master Su will forgive this, this rebellious disciple does not understand etiquette, please excuse him."

She was protecting Ye Fan, not wanting Su Chen to vent his anger on him; otherwise, with Su Chen's playboy mentality, he might have the expert beside him kill Ye Fan in an instant.

Rather than letting Su Chen's subordinates take action, it was better for her to handle this matter herself, so that Su Chen would not find it easy to strike at Ye Fan again.

"It is of no concern."

Su Chen smiled slightly, his expression gentle and refined, but his tone was extremely cold.

After glancing at Ye Fan indifferently, he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at him.

His target this time was Chu Yanran; he could not kill Ye Fan directly right now. After all, Ye Fan still had quite a few opportunities on him, and he had to snatch all these opportunities away step by step.

Seeing that Su Chen was not pursuing the matter, Jiang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the two Elders at the side.

Immediately, those two Elders walked to Ye Fan's side, intending to drag him out.

Seeing his own Sect Master actually apologizing in a low-voiced and submissive manner to this piece of trash Su Chen, and even wanting to have him removed, Ye Fan's heart was filled with resentment.

As a direct genius of the Immortal Sword Sect, was he really inferior to this piece of trash Su Chen?

"Let go of me!"

Ye Fan struggled with all his might, but since his cultivation was inferior to the two Elders, he had no way to break free.

Seeing that he could not break free, Ye Fan stared angrily at Su Chen, "You piece of trash, if it weren't for the Su Family, you would be nothing!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised his eyes, his gaze icy, and he slowly walked down from the seat above. However, he did not walk toward Ye Fan, but toward Chu Yanran at the side.

He gazed at Chu Yanran with his deep, unfathomable eyes, an aura of someone in a position of power radiating from him, enveloping Chu Yanran within it.

"You said just now that you were unwilling to marry me?"

Feeling this pressure, Chu Yanran's pretty face instantly turned deathly pale, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead.

"I... I..."

Chu Yanran stuttered, her red lips trembling.

She did not understand why Su Chen, who clearly had no cultivation at all, possessed such a powerful aura.

Su Chen slowly reached out and pinched Chu Yanran's delicate chin, his eyes suddenly turning cold, and he said in a grim tone, "Little beauty, you say I am a playboy; today, this Young Master will act like a playboy and let you see."

Having said that, he turned to look at the old man behind him, "Sanchungong, destroy the Immortal Sword Sect!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Boom!

The powerful aura on the old man's body suddenly surged, like Mount Tai collapsing, and a terrifying pressure spread in all directions.

"A Great Saint Realm Peak expert!"

Jiang Yunxi and the others looked at the three golden sun phantoms behind the old man in astonishment, their hearts pounding violently.

Only those in the Great Saint Realm can condense a sun; one sun appears at each of the early, middle, and late stages, and the deeper the color, the stronger the Great Saint Realm cultivation, meaning the golden suns before them proved the old man's strength had reached the terrifying Great Saint Realm Peak.

It was only a single step away from the legendary Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Jiang Yunxi and the others were stunned, hurriedly injecting Spiritual Power into the martial souls within their bodies to awaken them and resist the pressure released by the old man.

Blood spilled from the corners of the mouths of the Elders with lower cultivation.

The powerful pressure weighed down on Ye Fan so heavily that he could not catch his breath, his legs forced onto the ground, looking extremely wretched.

Chu Yanran's face turned even paler.

She looked at the old man in disbelief, her eyes filled with terror and panic.

Such an expert would be the strongest combat force in any faction; once dispatched, the entire Tianxuan Continent would tremble.

Yet the Su Family had actually sent such a peerless expert to protect Su Chen, an ordinary person with no cultivation at all, which showed just how high Su Chen's status was in the Su Family.

If she did not agree to Su Chen, everyone in the entire Immortal Sword Sect would be killed because of her alone.

Chu Yanran raised her beautiful eyes, looking at Su Chen with tear-filled eyes, and pleaded, "Young Master Su, I am willing to marry you as a concubine; I beg you to spare the other innocent people."

"What? Have you thought it through?"

Hearing this, Su Chen curled the corners of his mouth into an evil, charming smile, his eyes staring at Chu Yanran with playfulness.

He felt not the slightest pity for Chu Yanran, because in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, it was precisely because he was the Young Master of the Su Family that everyone in the Immortal Sword Sect and Chu Yanran were forced to submit, not daring to harbor a single thought of resistance.

Seeing that Su Chen did not continue to let the old man behind him act, the heart hanging in Chu Yanran's chest eased slightly; she looked at Su Chen, nodded, and said, "Yes, I am willing to serve the Young Master."

"Master, don't agree to him!"

A heaven-shaking roar reached everyone's ears from the corner.
