Chapter 238: Master, Lv Luo Likes You

"You are our benefactor. Just because you saved my life a moment ago, I would not hesitate to go through fire and water for you in the future!"

"I had already narrowly escaped death just now; whoever saved me, I shall pledge my loyalty to..."

As more and more people expressed their heartfelt loyalty to Su Chen, the fighting spirit of everyone present seemed to be ignited in an instant, and the previous gloom was swept away.

To be placed in a desperate situation and then find a way to survive—they had already experienced the threat of death once; what was wrong with living for themselves this time?

Su Chen looked at these people before him with satisfaction, feeling that saving them from the Purple Qilin just now was indeed the right thing to do.

"Since you have followed me today, I will absolutely not treat you unfairly in the future. Just as you said, we are all one family, and since we are family, I will absolutely not abandon anyone to die."

These words were spoken with great resonance. Everyone present was a grown man, and a few female cultivators could not help but cry.

They did not doubt the sincerity of Su Chen's words in the slightest; after all, they had already been saved by Su Chen once just a moment ago.

"I have never liked to force others in my actions, and saving you was something I did of my own volition. If any of you wish to leave, you may leave now."

Su Chen looked at everyone present and said slowly.

After all, a twisted melon is not sweet; among so many people, there must be some who are not truly submissive.

However, unexpectedly, none of the people present chose to leave; they all looked at Su Chen with burning eyes.

Before, their eyes had all been dim and lusterless, having suffered a great blow, but at this moment, they had rekindled the hope of living.

"To show my loyalty to you, I, Liu Ruyan, hereby swear a Heart Demon Oath that I will forever be loyal to Su Chen. Should I break this oath, may my meridians be severed and may I die a wretched death!"

Liu Ruyan was the first to step forward and swear the Heart Demon Oath.

Hearing the name Su Chen was like thunder to the ears; who among those present did not know that he was the Young Master of the Su Family, the number one family of the Donghua Continent?

No wonder, no wonder.

But at a time like this, who Su Chen was no longer mattered; what mattered was that Su Chen had saved their lives.

Moreover, as members of the Qingyun Alliance, they naturally knew that they were actually at odds with the Su Family, and the Su Family must be extremely clear on this point as well, yet Su Chen was still willing to save their lives at such a time.

If nothing else, they were immensely impressed by this magnanimity alone.

After all, no one present dared to guarantee that if they encountered Su Chen in distress today, they would be able to sacrifice themselves to help.

Thinking of this, a petite woman also stood out. Although her figure was thin, the light in her eyes was exceptionally firm.

"I, Xu Linger, hereby swear a Heart Demon Oath that I will forever be loyal to Su Chen. Should I break this oath, may my meridians be severed and may I die a wretched death!"

"I, Xu Song, hereby swear a Heart Demon Oath..."

"I, Wang Meng, hereby swear a Heart Demon Oath..."

"I..."

Everyone present swore the Heart Demon Oath, and without exception, their eyes were filled with determination.

At this very moment, they were like a phoenix rising from the ashes, as if reborn.

"These are fifty Heavenly Dao Fruits and some Immortal Herbs for healing. Since you have followed me, Su Chen, do not be reserved; just accept them as you please."

Su Chen said slowly, taking out a Storage Bag and handing it to Liu Ruyan.

Upon hearing "Heavenly Dao Fruit," everyone present was shocked by Su Chen's grand gesture.

One must know that they were already considered elite disciples of the Qingyun Alliance, yet few of the people present had even seen a Heavenly Dao Fruit, let alone being able to receive one each just for following Su Chen now.

At this moment, they only felt that one shocking event after another was exploding in their minds, leaving them unable to process it all.

But at the same time, they were also immensely grateful that they had chosen to submit just now, which was why they had obtained such excellent cultivation resources.

Following Su Chen, they were convinced and submissive.

"Distribute these to them. Everyone is exhausted, so let us rest for a while, and those who are injured should regulate their breathing."

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction and handed the Storage Bag in his hand to Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan did not know what to say at this moment, but she was also very excited and immediately took the Storage Bag to distribute the contents.

At first, those people were terrified and refused to accept them no matter what, but later, after much persuasion from Ruyan, everyone finally accepted them.

Without exception, their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Su Chen sat to the side, very calm, as if it were not him whom those people were grateful to.

"Master, you really have more and more of the demeanor you had back then."

Lv Luo had witnessed the whole process with her own eyes. Compared to the devil-may-care attitude her master had when she first met him, the current Su Chen had grown so much, and very quickly at that.

Her heart felt warm.

"Could it be that the current me does not measure up to the one back then?"

Hearing this, the corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly, and he looked at Lv Luo with a smile, beginning to tease her.

This question made Lv Luo start to think seriously, her delicate eyebrows knitting together.

How should she put it? Each had its own merits.

The master back then was very serious and cared for all living things; when facing that master, Lv Luo only had respect in her heart, never any other feelings.

But upon seeing the current master, he was clearly much more approachable. Although not as formidable as before, he had more personal charisma and was more like a vivid, living person.

Moreover, she had unknowingly fallen in love with him.

Thinking of this, Lv Luo answered very seriously: "No matter when, Master is great, and is always Master, but the current Master... Lv Luo likes you."

Lv Luo said the last sentence very softly, and her cheeks unconsciously flushed with a rosy glow, looking very cute.

Su Chen did not expect that his casual teasing would actually receive such a serious response from Lv Luo, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.

But after reacting, he smiled, couldn't help but stroke Lv Luo's head, and then said, "I like you too."

Hearing Su Chen's words, Lv Luo was even happier. She only felt that her whole body was warm, and her heart was warm too, as if it had been filled by something.

Compared to the harmony here, things were not so good on the Second Elder's side.

They had managed to shake off the pursuit of the Purple Qilin with great difficulty and found a hidden cave to rest.

Because of his own obstinacy, Pan Feichi had suffered not-insignificant injuries and was currently tending to himself.

Zhao Yangyao and Gu Feiyang were in no better shape.

Zhao Yangyao in particular had lost his left hand, and because he had been too busy fleeing for his life just now, he had missed the optimal window for medical aid, and at this moment, he had lost his left hand forever.

There was even an ugly scar left at the junction of his palm and arm, pitch-black and shriveled together, which was disgusting to look at.
