Chapter 406: Chapter 400 She Was Wrong (4th Update)

Ling Zhigao’s face changed, and he huffed, "Ling Yuan, don’t be presumptuous!"

However, though he scolded his own daughter, in fact, there wasn’t much anger in his tone.

That’s just how it is on the Divine Martial Continent where strength is revered!!!

Moreover, he was also worried that his daughter might truly fancy such a person of esteemed status, and it would be a good thing if the other party, feeling offended or ridiculed, took the initiative to leave his daughter.

He still cherished Linglong dearly.

"Father, where have I been presumptuous? The guards of the Ling Family are all of the Heavenly Eminent or even Heavenly Position Realm!" Ling Yuan countered, not convinced, and even asked Xu Lijun with a hint of coquetry, "Brother Jun, what level of strength do the Xu Family’s guards possess?"

Xu Lijun indeed cooperated well, seriously saying, "At least of the Heavenly Eminent..."

As he spoke, he turned to Su Chen, "Brother Su needs to work harder. If one day Brother Su reaches the Heavenly Position Realm, and if you don’t know what to do, you can come to Xu Family. Relying on our friendship, I will recommend you to the family head!"

"Thanks for the kind offer!" Su Chen nodded without objecting, feeling it utterly boring. This Xu Lijun, merely all surface, as arrogant as a rooster, really nauseating, he actually had very little interest in dealing with him. Xu Lijun emitted the aura of the Third Transformation Hollow Realm, but, similar to Ling Yuan, it was unstable, bolstered by Elixirs, his actual combat power would be good if it were even as strong as Linglong’s.

Nevertheless.

Su Chen’s non-angry stance made Ling Zhigao, Ling Yuan, Ling Miao, and others look down on him even more.

Martial Cultivators can be weak.

But they should not suffer in silence.

If they have not even this much spirit, they are nothing but slaves, worthless...

In the same second, Linglong suddenly exploded, "What do you mean by this? Ridiculing my senior brother? Who do you think you are? You might not even compare to my senior brother!"

Linglong was truly furious!!!

Even her aura turned icy cold.

She was the one who invited Su Chen to the Ling Family, in fact, she was prepared for Su Chen to possibly endure some unpleasantness.

But she hadn’t expected Ling Yuan and the others to be so excessively overbearing.

It was too much.

Moreover, in Linglong’s eyes, Su Chen was certainly not inferior to Xu Lijun, someone like Xu Lijun who relies on his family’s support is the real waste, how could he be comparable to Su Chen?

"Linglong? So quick to defend your man? You haven’t even married him yet! Moreover, Young Master Su himself hasn’t gotten angry, so what are you angry about?" Ling Yuan sneered, full of disdain, "Who is ridiculing? Isn’t Young Master Su a person of esteemed status?"

"You..." A hint of coldness flashed in Linglong’s beautiful eyes, ready to take action immediately.

But Ling Zhigao shouted, "Enough!"

Then, looking at Su Chen, he said seriously, "Young Master Su, although Yuann’er’s words were a bit unpleasant, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, I still have to remind Young Master Su, I, as a father, will have arrangements for Long Er’s marital matters!"

The smile finally vanished from Su Chen’s face.

The members of the Ling Family were a bit too proud.

Originally, he didn’t mind being mocked a few times, since it was out of consideration for Linglong’s face that he was willing to stay at the Ling Family’s, and to casually help Linglong, who was his junior sister after all.

But now it seemed...

Hot face against a cold butt!

Therefore.

Su Chen turned and left.

Very decisively.

"A bunch of opportunists!!!" Linglong was even more enraged, as Su Chen turned, she too turned alongside him, preparing to leave the Ling Family.

Linglong turned without hesitation.

Ling Zhigao’s face suddenly turned ugly.

"Dad, look at Ling Long, she’s practically flying to the heavens. For the sake of an outsider, is she going to leave home, disown her family?" Ling Yuan added fuel to the fire.

"Little sister is over the line, with not only poor eyesight but also inability to distinguish importance!" Ling Miao retorted coldly.

Ling Zhigao’s face grew even uglier, as he suddenly bellowed, "Ling Long!!! You’re out of line! What? Planning to elope with someone? Sever ties with the Ling Family? You won’t even worship your own mother?"

Upon hearing this,

Ling Long, who had already walked to the entrance of the Ling Family mansion, visibly trembled, and her face paled for a moment as she bit her lips tightly.

The words ’won’t even worship your own mother’ stabbed into her heart like knives.

But still, she moved firmly forward, feeling guilty, guilty for Su Chen.

Without any reason, Su Chen was mocked and ridiculed. Why should he be?

However, Su Chen suddenly stopped. He smiled at Ling Long, "You should stay!"

Turning his head to look at Ling Zhigao, Su Chen said, "Uncle, rest assured, Ling Long and I are just friends!"

"Su Chen, you..." Ling Long knew how proud Su Chen was. During his time at the Burning Heaven Sect, his pride was beyond measure, as if he were unbeatable, a pride that reached deep into his bones.

Now.

Su Chen was actually...

In an instant, a ripple stirred in Ling Long’s heart. She felt that Su Chen endured all this for her sake.

If not for her, why would Su Chen need to tolerate such treatment?

In fact, it was almost exactly as Ling Long thought, Su Chen did it for her. If he had decisively left at this moment, Ling Long would have certainly gone with him.

Then, Ling Long would have nearly completely severed ties with the Ling family, which would be a great blow to her, especially with the point about ’worshiping her mother’ in mind.

If he just endured this slight discomfort, as if being bitten by a dog, he could simply ignore it. After all, it was just for one night, nothing more.

"Su Chen, thank you!" Ling Long silently said in her heart. For all these years, this was the first time she truly felt someone else’s kindness and concern for her.

"Hahaha... I spoke too harshly just now. My dear nephew, I apologize!" Ling Zhigao was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter, looking very pleased, at least on the surface.

Ling Yuan, Xu Lijun, and Ling Liao looked at Su Chen with mocking eyes, thinking to themselves, how thick-skinned this man must be to still be able to stay here after that?

He isn’t planning to latch onto the Ling Family, is he?

Then, Ling Zhigao added, "You must be hungry after traveling so far, right?! Time to eat, time to eat, hahaha... Come on, let’s go to the hall!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Su Chen also responded with a smile.

"Su Chen, I’m sorry, I... I... I..." Ling Long moved closer to Su Chen, pressing close to him as she whispered softly, "I didn’t expect..."

Indeed, she hadn’t expected it.

In fact, in the Ling Family, the only one she truly despised was Aunt Zhou, also known as Madam Ling.

As for the rest, even with Ling Yuan and Ling Liao, it was just a matter of discord, nothing more; if she occasionally returned to the Ling Family and was ridiculed a bit, that was all there was to it.

Moreover, her father had always doted on her.

So, in her view, even if she brought Su Chen back to stay with the Ling Family for one day, it shouldn’t be a big issue—she could simply respond in kind if they mocked her.

But!

She was wrong!

She had overlooked the most crucial point: Su Chen’s Realm—His Heavenly Eminent status.

On the ruthlessly realistic Divine Martial Continent, low Martial Cultivation Realm meant being relegated to the status of low-grade people.
