Free Web NovelChapter 2151: Chapter 2150: A Father’s Love Is Like a Mountain!
"Our marriage proposal was agreed upon by Du Xi herself, but she couldn’t make the decision alone, so she told us she would return to the Divine Dream Sect to speak with her father and grandfather."
"Matters of marriage are not a game, and we couldn’t forcefully keep her, so we naturally agreed, but who would have known... once she left, she never returned."
Raising his head to glance at Su Han, seeing Su Han with his eyes closed and silent, Su Yunming continued, "Though Du Xi didn’t return, news arrived from the Divine Dream Sect a month ago, and this news consisted of only one sentence."
"What did it say?" Su Han asked.
"Du Xi has been betrothed to the Immortal Sovereign Pavilion, and no other man is allowed to contact her, or else, they will be killed without mercy!" Su Yunming said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Su Han’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Does the Divine Dream Sect mean even Du Xi’s grandfather can’t meet with her?" Su Han sneered.
Su Yunming and the others remained silent, knowing that anger was already boiling within Su Han’s heart.
Su Qing stood quietly in the distance, his gaze vacant, lost in thought.
He liked Du Xi, truly liked her.
He loved Du Xi deeply!
Since birth until now, due to his powerful aptitude, handsome appearance, and the not-so-bad background of the Phoenix Sect, countless girls have pursued him.
But no woman could move Su Qing, and he rejected them all one by one.
Until the moment he laid eyes on Du Xi, Su Qing was amazed by her divine beauty, and his heart, seemingly invulnerable, melted completely at that moment.
The two of them came together.
It was thought to be a blissfully perfect marriage, yet Du Xi’s identity became the greatest obstacle between them.
Even among mortals, they emphasize matching social status, not to mention the cultivator’s world.
In the vicinity of nearly ten thousand stars, the Phoenix Sect is indeed prominent, and even in the entire lower-class star region, it remains at the pinnacle among all top-tier entry-level sects.
But compared to the Divine Dream Sect... it was still far too weak!
Among the entire lower-class star region, except for the sacred sects like the Three Teachings and the Four Great Dao Academies, it ranks as one of the strongest nine sects!
Within it resides a Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse; even with Su Han’s poison pill capable of instantly killing super powerhouses of the Dao Sovereign Realm, it is no match!
The message from the Divine Dream Sect was extremely simple yet filled with threatening implications, indirectly telling Su Qing—
Do you wish to marry Du Xi?
You are not worthy!
If the Phoenix Sect were one of the Nine Factions, would the Divine Dream Sect still dare to say this?
They wouldn’t dare, and they wouldn’t!
Even if they refused, it would be courteous, not with threats like these.
People from the Divine Dream Sect didn’t even bother to come but merely sent an ordinary disciple from a subordinate sect within the lower-class star region to deliver this message to the Phoenix Sect.
Fundamentally, they did not regard the Phoenix Sect with any respect.
This news hit like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, making Su Qing feel like his soul was lost.
It was only because Su Han returned today that he somewhat gathered his spirits; otherwise, he would be hiding within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, not cultivating, just dazing all day long.
In his mind, as he thought...
Only his father, the man he has always been proud of, could offer him some hope.
But now, looking at Su Han’s expression...
It seems he doesn’t agree with this marriage either.
Yes...
The gap between them is ultimately too vast; anyone with a shred of self-awareness wouldn’t dare to hope.
...
"Has Du Xi sent you any replies?" Su Han asked Su Qing.
"No."
Su Qing shook his head but added, "Father, even if she hasn’t replied, I know she is waiting for me, waiting for me to go to the Divine Dream Sect!"
"I believe in her feelings for me, and I also believe she is not the kind of woman who cares about matching social statuses!"
Seeing his expression, Xiao Yuhui and others couldn’t help but sigh.
What Du Xi truly thinks, they do not know, but at least the Divine Dream Sect has expressed their view.
In such a grand power, Du Xi cannot make significant waves on her own; her marriage is likely not within her own control.
"I understand."
After pondering for a while, Su Han stood up and started to walk outside.
"Father!"
At this moment, Su Qing suddenly said, "Father, I love Du Xi, and I want to be with her. Right now, only you can help me!"
Su Han paused in his steps.
"Father, please help Qing’er just this once, Qing’er begs you, begs you to help Qing’er, go to the Divine Dream Sect to propose!" Su Qing spoke again, his voice somewhat overwhelmed.
"Qing’er!"
Xiao Yuhui grabbed Su Qing’s hand, her eyes slightly red.
She could understand Su Qing’s feelings but also knew Su Han’s dilemma.
Proposing?
Is it that easy?
If the opponent were a power on the same level as the Phoenix Sect, Su Han would have gone without him asking.
But it’s the Divine Dream Sect, one of the Nine Factions!
Inside it are Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses, super powerhouses of the Dao Sovereign Realm, and strong cultivators of Fusion Realm and Divine Sea Realm throughout; they are countless as fish crossing the river.
They have already sent the news; if Su Han goes to propose now, the outcome is predictable, with more than an eighty percent chance of facing rejection!
Receiving humiliation would be fortunate; provoking the Divine Dream Sect’s powerful beings could even directly lead to Su Han’s assassination!
In accepting Su Qing’s request, Su Han risks his life to propose to the Divine Dream Sect!
That’s why Xiao Yuhui and others did not make such a request to Su Han.
Su Qing actually knew these circumstances, but he couldn’t hold back.
He didn’t want to see Du Xi truly marry someone from the Immortal Sovereign Pavilion; she is the only woman he has loved in his life so far, and he doesn’t want to give up!
"Rustle, rustle..."
The sound of footsteps echoed as Su Han’s figure gradually disappeared beyond the hall.
Watching this scene, Su Qing’s eyes grew red, with tears flowing, and his slender frame, like Su Han’s, seemed to lose all strength, collapsing to the ground.
"Alas..."
In a sigh, Su Yunming stood up and said, "Qing’er, you must also understand your father, that’s... that’s the Divine Dream Sect!"
"I know, I know..." Su Qing muttered in a daze.
"I promise you."
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"I will help you propose to the Divine Dream Sect."
"You are my son, Su Han’s son. For you, I can risk anything, pay any price."
"But now, it’s not the right time."
"After defeating the Immortal Sun Sect, your father will set off, regardless of the result, it will at least count as trying for you!"
