Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 566 - 567 Su Chan’s Scale of Reverse

Everyone was stunned by the sudden appearance of the woman.

She was incredibly beautiful.

So hopelessly beautiful that she was hardly inferior to Li Qingyi.

Her delicate features were complemented by skin as fair as snow.

A mass of black hair cascaded down her back, pinned up by an exquisite white jade hairpin.

The luxurious and elegant palace attire outlined her captivating figure, drawing an irresistible silhouette.

She emanated a sense of nobility, yet an incredibly cool distance.

Xu Ping’an stared at the woman who had appeared before him, his expression blank and his shoulders trembling.

"Little... Little Aunt."

Xu Ping’an said with indescribable excitement, his eyes instantly moistening.

Upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s words, the woman’s body also trembled.

Ignoring the gazes of all those around, she threw herself straight into Xu Ping’an’s arms.

"Ping’an, I’ve finally seen you again."

Overcome with emotion, Su Chan nestled her moving face in Xu Ping’an’s embrace.

Her phoenix eyes brimmed with endless gentleness.

Xu Ping’an held Su Chan tightly as if wanting to melt her completely into his embrace.

The surrounding crowd was utterly dumbfounded by this scene.

The Thirteenth Princess?

She actually threw herself into Xu Ping’an’s arms in front of everyone.

Thinking back to the recent scene of Li Qingyi rushing into Xu Ping’an’s arms,

Now witnessing the incredibly beautiful Thirteenth Princess do the same,

Their hearts shattered into pieces.

Even Luo Yong’an and Xie Jizong were too jealous to speak.

However, when they turned to look at Li Qingyi, hoping to see her reaction, they found her completely calm.

Li Qingyi’s composed demeanor incited even more frenzied jealousy among all the men present.

Damn!

How did Xu Ping’an manage this?

Both were beauties renowned throughout the world.

Li Qingyi and Su Chan had both ascended the ranks of the "List of Heavenly Talents."

Xu Ping’an alone ended up with both of them?

Which man would not be jealous of such an outcome?

Elder Bai Mei and Elder Su Tu furrowed their brows to the extreme at this moment.

Xu Ping’an actually had such a good relationship with the Thirteenth Princess?

This could be somewhat troublesome.

But Xu Ping’an paid no attention to the crowd; his entire focus was on holding Su Chan tightly.

Feeling his aunt’s warmth, his heart filled with endless warmth.

Two years had passed.

He had finally seen his Little Aunt again.

In those two years, not a moment went by when he didn’t miss her.

Now, his wish was finally fulfilled.

"Ping’an, you’ve grown taller and a lot more mature than before," Su Chan said as she let go of Xu Ping’an, caressing his cheek, her lips curving into a smile.

That smile suddenly made the world seem less bright.

"Little Aunt, you’ve also become more beautiful," praised Xu Ping’an.

"Hmph, haven’t I told you before, don’t call me Little Aunt, call me Chan Niang," Su Chan said with a light huff.

"Yes, Chan Niang," Xu Ping’an immediately responded.

At his words, Su Chan showed a shy expression.

All the disciples around them displayed looks of utter surprise.

This was their first time seeing the Thirteenth Princess smile; in their memory, like Li Qingyi, the Thirteenth Princess never smiled.

But now they realized it was not that the Thirteenth Princess was cold by nature, but that they were not worthy of her smile.

With this thought, their jealousy towards Xu Ping’an grew even more intense.

"Ping’an, rest assured, with me here, no one will be able to hurt you," Su Chan suddenly turned her head to glance at Elders Su Tu and Bai Mei in the distance, her eyes radiating a fierce chill.

These two actually hurt Ping’an?

This had touched her bottom line.

Xu Ping’an wanted to say more but was stopped by Su Chan.

"Divine Maiden, this man is a fugitive of our Fire Divine Palace, please do not intervene," Elder Su Tu said, looking at Su Chan.

"A fugitive? I don’t care what grudge the Fire Divine Palace has with him, if you lay a hand on him today, I will show no mercy and never back down," Su Chan stated coldly.

Her voice wasn’t loud, but her tone was incredibly assertive.

Upon hearing this, everyone around could feel Su Chan’s resolve.

It seemed that if the Fire Divine Palace were to make a move against Xu Ping’an, Su Chan would truly take his side.

Elders Su Tu and Bai Mei frowned deeply at her words.

They had not anticipated Su Chan’s stance to be so adamant.

Li Qingyi alone was already a headache for them.

Now there was an even more formidable Su Chan to contend with.

With Su Chan’s status as the Divine Maiden and as the capital’s Thirteenth Princess, she was not someone to be trifled with.

The two exchanged looks, each feeling an immense headache.

Up in the sky, the Great Elder and Qing Huo stopped fighting as well.

The Great Elder turned his gaze to Su Chan, his expression somewhat grave.

Li Qingyi he could disregard, but not Su Chan. Su Chan’s talent was too great.

She had been regarded by the Fire Divine Palace as the most outstanding genius and had even been recognized by the Fire Divine Palace’s treasured artifact.

If such a person harbored resentment against the Fire Divine Palace because of Xu Ping’an, that would be a significant problem.

"Divine Maiden, there is still room for negotiation here. Xu Ping’an can join the Fire Divine Palace, and in doing so, we will not only spare his life but also cultivate him wholeheartedly," the Great Elder spoke.

Upon hearing this, Su Chan turned her head to look at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an shook his head slightly.

Immediately understanding Xu Ping’an’s intent, Su Chan addressed the Great Elder, "If Ping’an doesn’t join the Fire Divine Palace, are you saying that you won’t give up today?"

"That’s correct. If this person does not submit to our Fire Divine Palace, then he must die," the Great Elder replied with resolute eyes.

Upon hearing this, a flash of murderous intent appeared in Su Chan’s eyes.

"Then make your move. If you want to kill him, you’ll have to step over my dead body first," Su Chan declared firmly.

Having spoken, she stepped forward and a superior-grade Immortal Sword materialized in her hand.

Her aura was incredibly powerful, already at the Ninth Rank Peak Level.

"Ninth Rank Peak?"

The crowd was utterly astonished. The Divine Maiden had reached the Ninth Rank Peak Level in Cultivation?

Wasn’t her cultivation speed much too fast?

Xu Ping’an was also somewhat amazed; his Little Aunt’s rate of progress was incredibly fast.

When she had left him back then, she hadn’t even begun practicing cultivation.

Her talent was even more terrifying than his own.
