At this moment, someone rushed over and said:
"Young Master Su, Elder Bi requests your presence."
"What does Elder Bi want with me?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
"I’m not sure, but it seems to be related to the Bao family."
The person scratched the back of their head and frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips into a playful smile.
So it’s them!
Turns out, they’ve really come to find me!
"Alright, I’ll go with you now."
Su Chen said casually.
At this time, Mu Yue asked:
"You should know what’s going on, right?"
"It’s nothing major, I just killed one of their worthless young masters not long ago."
Su Chen shrugged and said.
Upon hearing this, the person who came to report the news was instantly startled!
Although the Bao family’s strength pales in comparison to the Lingwu Sect, they’re still a Third Rank power, not to be underestimated!
But Young Master Su spoke as if it were no big deal!
"Can you handle it?"
Mu Yue asked.
"No problem, it’s just a minor issue."
Su Chen replied.
Listening to their conversation, the courier was even more speechless!
What kind of people are they!
It seems as if the Bao family is just a trivial entity in their eyes!
"Alright, I’ll be on my way then."
Mu Yue nodded and then left.
Afterward, Su Chen followed the messenger to a small discussion hall where two elders were present.
"Elder Bi."
Su Chen saluted one of the elders.
Although he didn’t know Elder Bi, the attire was recognizable at a glance.
"Su Chen, you’re here."
The elders of the Lingwu Sect admired this young man who had shone brightly not long ago.
The strength of a sect largely depends on how its young talents will fare in the future!
And Su Chen, although still in the Outer Sect, who in the current Lingwu Sect would dare to treat him like a normal outer disciple?
"Are you the one who killed our Bao family’s Young Master Bao Qing?!"
At this moment, the other elder slammed the table and stood up with a face full of anger!
He was certain it was him because he had seen this young man’s portrait!
"Yes, it was me."
Su Chen casually admitted.
This surprised Elder Zhang of the Bao family a bit, even though the evidence was solid, many witnessed it, he didn’t expect him to admit it so readily.
"Good, since you’ve admitted it, you at least have the courage to own up!"
Elder Zhang snorted coldly and then looked at Elder Bi:
"Elder Bi, shouldn’t your Lingwu Sect give us the Bao family an explanation?"
"Su Chen, what really happened, tell me in detail."
Elder Bi frowned slightly.
Hand over Su Chen, as if joking?!
If he handed over Su Chen, he’d probably be scolded to death by the Sect Master!
To some extent, he’d become a sinner in the Lingwu Sect!
Such a heaven-defying monster, probably unheard of in the history of the Cangxuan Territory!
Of course, it’s best not to offend the Bao family too much, try to smooth things over, at least minimize the impact.
"Elder Bi, here’s what happened..."
Su Chen briefly recounted the events of that day.
"Bang!"
After listening, Elder Bi immediately slammed the table and stood up.
Fortunately, the tabletop was made of special crystal stone and wasn’t damaged by the slam.
"Elder Zhang, earlier you were so aggressive, I almost thought this young lad Su Chen was truly at fault!"
Elder Bi shouted:
"Turns out, this is what really happened!"
"First of all, your young master Bao Qing recklessly charged down the street, endangering innocent lives, what’s wrong with Su Chen showing chivalry and saving people?"
Though in the Cangxuan Territory, few consider the lives of ordinary people significant, using it as a reason for accusation was nonetheless valid.
"Hmph, even so, it’s a fact that he killed my family’s young master!"
Elder Zhang of the Bao family naturally wouldn’t back down easily.
"Yes, Su Chen just admitted it, and we at Lingwu Sect acknowledge it as well."
Elder Bi retorted sharply:
"But your young master Bao Qing made the first move, and hence he can only blame himself for being outmatched and killed!"
"You..."
Elder Zhang was infuriated upon hearing this.
"What, can only your Bao family young masters kill others, and not the other way around?"
Elder Bi said unceremoniously, his face full of wrinkles twitching, looking downright indignant!
Su Chen found it somewhat amusing from the side!
He could clearly tell Elder Bi was deliberately putting on an act, not giving the other party a chance to attack!
And truth be told, the old man was pretty good at acting!
Elder Zhang of the Bao family was trembling with rage, it seemed to him Lingwu Sect was being entirely unreasonable!
He was also secretly alarmed, it appeared Lingwu Sect’s determination to protect the young man was far stronger than he imagined!
"Are you set on protecting him then?"
Elder Zhang looked into Elder Bi’s somewhat cloudy eyes.
This was both a question, a warning, and a test!
"Yes, handing over Su Chen is out of the question!"
Elder Bi said without hesitation.
Elder Zhang’s eyes glinted sharply upon hearing this:
"Even if you end up enemies with our Bao family, you would still persist!"
"Even if your Bao family’s Family Head comes personally, the answer remains the same!"
Elder Bi completely clarified his stance!
Undoubtedly, his attitude represented the attitude of the Lingwu Sect Master, otherwise, Elder Bi wouldn’t dare to make such a statement!
"Fine, I will convey your sect’s stance to my Family Head!"
Elder Zhang swept his sleeve dramatically and left without pause.
Saying anything further was unnecessary.
"Su Chen, why did you go and provoke the Bao family?"
After Elder Zhang’s departure, Elder Bi shook his head and sighed.
"Elder Bi, calm down."
Su Chen chuckled, picked up the teapot nearby, and poured him a cup of tea.
"You lad...!"
Elder Bi was still somewhat worried.
Yet Su Chen’s conduct pleased him: in today’s Cangxuan Territory, risking offending the Bao family for the lives of ordinary people showed a pure heart!
This was rare indeed!
...
Su Chen didn’t take this matter to heart at all; after returning to the Inn Pavilion, he continued to ponder the "Prison Heavenly Finger".
That night, Bao Guanghua couldn’t sleep; the Lingwu Sect’s reluctance to hand over the young man he anticipated, but their firm stance was somewhat unexpected!
Nonetheless, thinking things through, it made sense: a young man capable of the Great Supreme Realm, with such strength, was truly promising!
While logically sound, he still felt something was amiss!
