It's this very second.
Suddenly.
Su Chen let go of the hand that was stroking Yuan Mengyuan's hair, his brows slightly furrowed, then he lifted his head.
Looking into the air towards the upper left.
Soon.
Ripples swirled in the air.
A figure appeared.
A figure Su Chen was familiar with.
Everyone from the Yuan Family stared at this figure as if facing a great enemy, both shocked and fearful, wary.
The visitor was a young man, not very old, but with an incredibly strong aura!
Impossibly strong.
"What are you here for?" Su Chen asked, staring at the figure, knowing full well the person had come for him.
Who is this young man?
Bing Nan!!!
Bing Nan of the Bingzhen Clan.
Previously, when going to the War God Palace, they used the Formation Gate left by the Old Ancestors of the Bingzhen Clan.
Encountered brother and sister Bing Nan and Bing Wu.
Su Chen thought it would be difficult to see this brother and sister again in his lifetime, yet unexpectedly...
He saw them so soon.
Strange.
"You said you owe my sister a favor, do you admit it?" Bing Nan stared at Su Chen, intently, speaking in a voice both haughty and anxious, as if desperate.
"I admit it." Su Chen nodded without hesitation; he had indeed said he owed Bing Wu a favor, and he, Su Chen, never went back on his word.
"My sister is in trouble now." Bing Nan said sternly: "You need to come with me to the Bingzhen Clan."
"Hm?" Su Chen frowned.
"You don't want to? You really don't want to admit it." Bing Nan was anxious.
"I owe Bing Wu a favor, but not you." Su Chen said lightly. He's no fool, going to the Bingzhen Clan? One must recognize their own limitations. He might be quite strong now, but dealing with a race like the Bingzhen Clan, which has been around since the Origin Era, is not to be taken lightly. Going there, he couldn't guarantee coming back unscathed.
"You... my sister's been confined!!! She can't come herself!" Bing Nan's eyes were filled with fire, glaring at Su Chen: "You..."
"Confined?" Su Chen's expression wavered: "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"Our Bingzhen Clan is not peaceful internally. Passed down for countless years, it's split into many families. We are all part of the Bingzhen Clan, yet not united." Bing Nan spoke faster: "Among them, the strongest in the Bingzhen Clan are the Eight Great Families: Yihe, Twin Radiance, Three Blood, the fourth Dou, the Fifth Xuan, Liumen, Qiyuan, and Bacang. These are the most powerful eight families within the Bingzhen Clan. My sister and I are from Qiyuan, and my sister and I are the children of the head of the Qiyuan Family."
"And then?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
Not surprising, a clan like the Bingzhen Clan that's been passed down for countless years, much like the Chinese people, having been around for countless years, and splitting into small family surnames like Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, and so on.
A similar principle.
Sure enough, the background of Bing Nan and Bing Wu is not simple.
As the young master and lady of the Qiyuan Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Bingzhen Clan, there shouldn't be any trouble!
"Then, Bing Ying is now forcing my sister to marry Bing Lin as a concubine!" Bing Nan gritted his teeth: "Bing Ying is a bitch, a damn bitch."
"Who is Bing Ying? How can she force your sister?"
"Bing Ying is also my father's daughter, but not with the same mother as my sister and me. A few years ago, Bing Ying married Bing Lin, the Young Clan Leader of the Yihe Family. To please Bing Lin, she persuaded my father and the other family members to force my sister to marry Bing Lin as a concubine." Bing Nan's face turned increasingly unpleasant, speaking of Bing Ying with hatred in his eyes.
Half-siblings? She got married herself, yet wants her sister to marry her own husband too? So complicated.
Su Chen was slightly puzzled: "The key is your father. If your father disagrees, your half-sister wouldn't have any say, right? As a father, the eldest daughter is already married, yet pushing the second daughter to marry the same man, as a concubine?"
Generally, a father wouldn't agree, right?
"The key is, my father agreed!" Bing Nan's eyes trembled.
"How could he agree?" Su Chen shook his head, it shouldn't be!
"The Eight Great Families. Yihe, Twin Radiance, Three Blood, and so on, do you know why they are ranked as one, two, three, four... eight?"
Su Chen suddenly understood: "Yihe is the strongest? Twin Radiance the next? Bacang Family the weakest. You and your sister are from the Qiyuan Family, much weaker than the Yihe Family."
"Yes." Bing Nan sighed: "Moreover, Bing Lin is very prominent in the Bingzhen Clan. As the Young Clan Leader of the Yihe Clan, he holds the highest status among the younger generation of the Bingzhen Clan. As for his ability..."
Bing Nan paused, then said sternly: "His ability is also the strongest among the younger generation; although I hate to admit it, he is extremely talented in martial arts, weapons, and formations."
"That makes sense. So, Bing Lin is extremely outstanding. Your half-sister Bing Ying feels her position isn't stable enough with her marrying Bing Lin alone, so she wants to bring her sister Bing Wu along as well." Su Chen said plainly, which was common in the ancient feudal imperial families of China, entering the palace as concubines, fearing one's own lack of power, bringing along sisters, maids, or concubines; it was normal.
"But my sister doesn't want to." Bing Nan said sternly.
Su Chen nodded, seemingly understanding everything: "So, Bing Wu is unwilling, and Bing Ying, your father, and others have her confined? They want to force her?"
"Yes." Bing Nan clenched his fists.
"And you come to me. How do you think I should help your sister?" Su Chen asked with a bitter smile, it was tough!
"This..." Bing Nan was also at a loss for words.
When he came to find Su Chen, he didn't think about it much.
Desperately seeking a cure.
Having no other option left.
"Hm?" Just then, Su Chen squinted abruptly.
At the same time, in the air beside Bing Nan.
There was another ripple.
Another person appeared.
Also a young man, but his clothes and demeanor weren't as good as Bing Nan's.
He wore a smile, mocking, proud, disdainful, a playful smile.
He seemed about the same age as Bing Nan.
"Bing Fu?" Bing Nan's complexion changed: "You... you actually followed me?"
"Bing Nan, you're really simple-minded! Who doesn't know about the deep bond between you and Bing Wu? The young master ordered me to follow you long ago." Bing Fu sneered, looking at Bing Nan as if at an idiot: "Bing Wu doesn't know what's good for her, neither do you, truly a pair of siblings courting death. If the young master wasn't interested in a bit of your sister's appearance, with your disrespect, you'd both be corpses by now. Hmph."
