"Hiss."
"Grandfather? Great-grandfather?" Su Qingxiao looked at the man and woman who were surrounded in the hall and muttered in his heart, "Where, where did this come from?!"
"Could it be... this is not possible!"
"What do you mean?" Su Qingxiao asked leisurely.
Hearing that the other party's tone had become much gentler and did not seem to have any intention of killing him immediately, Su Chen was even more relieved. He knew that his judgment was completely correct.
Therefore, he pretended to be excited and instantly sobbed twice. With a sad face, he said, "I am Su Lie's long-lost son. I just came back. Are you my grandfather?"
"There are many people who want to be Su Lie's son. Who are you?"
"Grandfather, I am Little Su Su with a scar on my ear! If you don't believe me, look." As he said this, Su Chen deliberately showed the scar on his ear to the direction where the voice of the patriarch came from.
"Is, is it really you?!" Su Qingxiao's voice was a little shaky, and many years of thoughts suddenly surged into his mind.
Creak.
A moment later, a large door opened, and a thin old man with a snow-white beard, half-black and half-white hair, and a thin figure walked out.
"Hua."
Seeing the old man come out, everyone in the hall knelt down on both knees. "Greetings, Patriarch! Bless Lord Patriarch!"
The old man ignored the people kneeling on the ground and ran straight towards Su Chen. He snatched Su Chen away from Chen Xin, picked him up, and kept spinning in circles.
"My child, you're finally back. Do you know how much grandfather missed you all these years?!" Su Qingxiao's tears flowed freely, but his face was beaming with joy.
"Sob, sob, sob."
Su Chen hugged the demonic sect's patriarch and cried loudly, his body twitching from time to time.
He reckoned that he already managed to bruise his own thigh.
The actions of the old and the young instantly infected everyone in the hall.
If Chen Xin did not know that Su Chen was a righteous disciple and that everything was an act, even she would believe the "true feelings" of Su Chen in front of her!
After circling around for a while, the demonic sect's patriarch reluctantly put Su Chen down. He put his hands on Su Chen's shoulders and scrutinized them as if they were treasures.
"Eh, Little Grandson, what did you mean by the 'great-grandfather' you mentioned just now?" Su Qingxiao suddenly remembered what Su Chen had said and asked with a puzzled face.
Su Chen fiercely wiped his tears and sobbed twice, "Grandfather, you have been in closed-door cultivation and didn't attend my wedding. This is the granddaughter-in-law that I just married. She is already carrying my child!" As he said that, he pulled Chen Xin over and held her in his arms.
"Ah! That's great. Our sacred sect has a successor, a successor!" Su Qingxiao simply couldn't believe his ears. He had been carefree all his life and only had a legitimate son, Su Lie. Now that he heard that he was going to have a great-grandson, he had the feeling of having a child in his old age.
But even though he said so, in his heart, he was drooling. "My grandson is really lucky to have married such a beautiful girl. Not bad, not bad!"
"Little Grandson, it is a bit of a pity that grandfather could not attend your wedding. It was indeed a bit abrupt for us to be fated to meet here today." As he spoke, he took out an ancient book from his pocket. "This 'Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique' is the supreme scripture of our sacred sect. Just treat it as my greeting gift. I'll prepare a big gift for you after I come out of seclusion some time later!"
"Shua~"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin's ears instantly turned red. Su Chen also felt a little embarrassed.
"Sigh! It's nothing. You should practice well. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime when I come out of seclusion." As he said this, he patted Su Chen's shoulder meaningfully and revealed a strange smile on his face.
"Oh, right, Little Grandson, did you come here today specifically to look for me, or is there something else?" Su Qingxiao asked with a smile.
"Yes, I heard that Grandfather is cultivating in seclusion here, so I came here to try my luck and see if I'm lucky enough to meet you. It seems that my luck was really good!"
"Besides, Xin'er and I just wanted to come to the sacred grounds and say our vows of love!" Su Chen explained as if it was a serious matter.
"Good, very good!"
"Head guard! From today onwards, if my grandson comes to the sacred grounds, you will be responsible for being his guide and attendant, and arrange everything for him!"
"Do you understand?" Speaking to the head guard, Su Qingxiao regained the grandeur of the patriarch.
"I understand. I will obey the patriarch's sacred will!"
"Okay, Little Grandson, you and my granddaughter-in-law can have fun here. With the head guard around, you can look for him if you need anything. I still need to continue cultivating. When I finish, I will play with you." After saying that, Su Qingxiao patted Su Chen's shoulder again and turned around to leave.
Seeing the patriarch leave, the head guard knelt down on both knees. "Greetings, Young Sect Leader! Bless the young sect leader!"
"Everyone, quickly get up!" Su Chen was troubled by this feudal etiquette!
"Young Sect Leader, please come with me." After getting up, the head guard said respectfully.
Su Chen nodded and walked leisurely with Chen Xin. At this moment, he once again felt the superiority of the young sect leader of the demonic sect!
..
After walking for a while, Su Chen pretended to be mysterious and gave Chen Xin a look. Then, he whispered in her ear, "If you don't want to be exposed, quickly tell me with deep love that you will love me for the rest of your life!"
"Why?! And why me?" Chen Xin blinked and asked in confusion.
"I just told them the purpose of our visit. If you don't say it, they will be suspicious."
"If I'm the one saying, it will not completely dispel their suspicions. Girls usually don't take the initiative to say things like that, but once they say it, others will definitely believe it."
"Didn't you see that the way they look at you was a little different! Don't look back, be more natural." Su Chen said half-truthfully, and there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Chen Xin was helpless. She gritted her teeth, as if she had made a big decision, and her face flushed red.
Chen Xin looked at Su Chen with deep affection, and sincerely said what Su Chen wanted to hear.
When she said this, Chen Xin felt that she really liked this eccentric and handsome man in front of her. At the same time, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
At this moment, Su Chen also realized that Chen Xin's favorability towards him had reached 35.
His face also revealed a brilliant smile, revealing a full sense of happiness.
However, this happiness was not entirely due to Chen Xin's words.
Just as Su Chen heard Chen Xin say, "Love him for the rest of my life," the system sent him a notification. "Ding! Congratulations to host for completing the mission, you have received a reward!"
"Due to host's efficient completion of three missions within a week, you will receive an additional reward!"
Hearing the "additional reward," Su Chen's happiness increased even more. He felt that everything he had done before was not in vain, and his hard work had been rewarded!
However, at this moment, the system notification sounded in Su Chen's head again:
[Ding! Host has received a mission: Obtain the method to break the formation together with the Saintess. Work together with the righteous faction to destroy the formation and inflict heavy damage to the demonic sect. Also, kiss the Empress in front of all the members of the righteous faction and the demonic sect without getting beaten up!]
"Fuck, such a big job! It hasn't even been three seconds!"
"Fuck, there isn't even a hint this time. Are you getting lazier, system? Are you trying to play me to death?!"Su Chen kept asking the system in his heart.
"Don't rush! Mission hint: Try to capture the Empress during the mission period. There might be unexpected effects."
