CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 55: SAINTESS!

He stared at Su Qianqian with wide eyes, his lips trembling as he said, "Qianqian, you mustn’t tell Dad that you’ve been in contact with people from the Heaven-Facing Sect!"

The Heaven-Facing Sect was the previous ruler of the entire continent before the Great Xia Dynasty.

After the rise of the Great Xia Zhao Clan, the Heaven-Facing Sect was overthrown, and the remaining disciples turned into outlaws, causing trouble across Great Xia.

For over a millennium, the Great Xia Dynasty has been exterminating members of the Heaven-Facing Sect, nearly wiping them out.

The few surviving disciples have become wanted criminals.

Once discovered, executed immediately!

If Su Qianqian is connected to the Heaven-Facing Sect.

Su Changyuan’s body shook.

He simply dared not imagine the terrifying consequences of this matter!

Upon hearing her father’s words, Su Qianqian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She chuckled lightly, "I thought you didn’t know about the Heaven-Facing Sect, and was wondering how to explain it to you. It’s good you know now!"

At this point, Su Qianqian said proudly, "Father, your daughter has a different identity now! I’m no longer just Su Qianqian, but the Saintess of the Heaven-Facing Sect!"

Saintess of the Heaven-Facing Sect?

When Su Changyuan heard these five words, his vision went black, and he fainted with a thud.

Before losing consciousness, only one thought remained in Su Changyuan’s mind.

"Disaster is upon us!"

-----------------

It was unknown how long had passed, but Su Changyuan slowly awoke.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Madam Su crying by his side.

Su Changyuan remembered the events before he fainted, quickly looking around.

Fortunately, he was still in the Su Mansion.

He hadn’t been thrown into the Death Prison, nor had Su Qianqian taken him to the Heaven-Facing Sect.

Su Changyuan let out a sigh of relief.

After scanning the room and not seeing Su Qianqian, he asked Madam Su, "Where is Qianqian?"

Madam Su shook her head angrily, "I didn’t see her! When I came back with people from the Imperial Clan Court, I saw you collapsed in the front hall, but there was no trace of Qianqian."

Su Changyuan was stunned for a moment, "Qianqian wasn’t taken back by the Imperial Clan Court people?"

Madam Su shook her head, "No. People from the Imperial Clan Court found traces of Qianqian returning home in the front hall, they are currently pursuing her, but I haven’t received news of Qianqian being caught yet!"

After saying this, she asked Su Changyuan, "Master, what happened after I left? Why were you collapsed in the front hall, did that wicked girl Qianqian attack you?"

Recalling Su Qianqian’s previous words, Su Changyuan’s face instantaneously became serious.

He repeated Su Qianqian’s words to Madam Su.

After hearing it, Madam Su’s legs gave way, and she collapsed right next to Su Changyuan.

"Disaster!"

Madam Su wailed, "Such disgrace to the family, how did I give birth to such a scourge! If I had known she would be such trouble, she should have been drowned at birth!"

Su Changyuan waved his hand, "Saying that now is too late!"

He struggled to sit up, speaking gravely, "This matter is no small affair. I must personally go to the Imperial Clan Court and report this to Lord Zongzheng! If this incident breaks out, we will become the eternal sinners of the family!"

Madam Su quickly supported her husband, saying, "Master, I will go together with you! Even if we die, we will die together as husband and wife!"

Su Changyuan looked deeply at Madam Su, then sighed lightly and nodded.

"So be it!"

He gestured to Xiao Cui to prepare the carriage.

Then, Su Changyuan abruptly remembered something and asked Madam Su, "When I woke up earlier, I saw you all crying. What was it about?"

Su Changyuan shouldn’t have mentioned this, because as soon as he did, Madam Su became furious.

Her eyes were full of fire, gritting her teeth as she said, "That wretched girl has stolen the valuable assets of the family, leaving not even my dowry behind! Such an undutiful daughter deserves death!"

Upon hearing this, Su Changyuan’s eyes brightened, "Is that so? That’s excellent!"

Madam Su was taken aback for a moment, then discontentedly said, "Master, why would you condone her behavior?"

Su Changyuan was completely relaxed, "The more outrageous this wicked girl’s actions are, the better!"

"Based on her theft of all family assets, we can report it to the Imperial Clan Court and sever the father-daughter relationship!"

"From now on, whatever trouble she causes won’t concern us as husband and wife!"

"In this way, the calamity of extermination can be averted!"

Madam Su’s face immediately lit up with joy, "Is this true?"

Su Changyuan said happily, "Absolutely true!"

After saying this, his face dimmed a bit, "But in this way, you may never see Qianqian again in this life, Madam."

Madam Su, still furious about Su Qianqian stealing her dowry, said through gritted teeth, "Master, you fainted on the ground and she didn’t even bother to help, but instead seized the assets. She is less than a beast! If I had realized her true nature earlier, I would never have the slightest regret!"

Seeing his wife’s determined expression, Su Changyuan sighed inwardly, saying nothing more. Once Xiao Cui had prepared the carriage, the two supported each other and headed to the Imperial Clan Court.

Zhao Yi was also in the Imperial Clan Court.

However, he wasn’t there because he’d heard about the female lead’s appearance; he wasn’t there to gather information or anything.

Zhao Yi came for Miaoyin Zhenren.

Miaoyin Zhenren sat gracefully at an adjacent seat, on equal footing with Lord Zongzheng.

Their expressions showed discomfort.

Especially Miaoyin Zhenren, whose refined face had darkened enough to almost drip water!

Zhao Yi didn’t mind her expression, his fingers tapping intermittently on the table nearby.

He was driving everyone’s mood into a restless state.

Only then did Zhao Yi speak languidly.

Looking at Miaoyin Zhenren, Zhao Yi asked, "Zhenren, if my information is correct, the team dispatched by Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court to hunt down Monk Fajing has failed three times, right?"

He smiled, "Doesn’t this mean I’ve won our bet?"

Miaoyin Zhenren said nothing.

She was still processing the information conveyed by the Mingdi Bird.

The assassination team indeed failed.

And not once, three times!

Although the assassination team consisted only of fifth-tier True Essence Realm cultivators.

They numbered over a hundred.

One hundred fifth-tier True Essence Realm cultivators, pursuing a second-tier Origin Realm target.

And they failed?

How could they possibly fail?
