Chapter 266: Disruption
Yun Che didn’t hear what this "sect’s supreme treasure" was, but judging by the importance they placed on it—even going so far as to mobilize such a massive force—it had to be something extremely extraordinary. It might even be something at the level of a "sacred relic," like the Bodhi Emperor Heart Lotus.
Because the sect’s supreme treasure was so precious, it had even caused the Tai Su Sect to potentially set their sights on him because of the Fu Su Kingdom. As for Su Ling'er, her coming here was even more dangerous. The moment Su Bai spoke, he was already prepared to completely sever ties and then take action. This was absolutely not a place they should have come.
"Father, I... I’m not afraid. I’m here to cheer you on," Su Ling'er said, giving Su Hengshan a sweet smile, but she moved a step closer to Yun Che, her small hands gripping Yun Che’s palm tightly.
"I was the one who brought Ling'er here. Because I wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her anywhere other than by my side." Yun Che stood beside him and said in a low voice: "But please rest assured, Senior Su. Even if I have to die, I won’t let a single hair on Ling'er’s head be harmed."
"..." Su Hengshan looked at Yun Che’s eyes and was dazed for a moment... He had weathered decades of storms and heard similar, comparable words many, many times, but never had any of them moved him as much as this time. That phrase, "Even if I have to die, I won’t let a single hair on Ling'er’s head be harmed," was not only spoken from Yun Che’s mouth but also came from his will and soul... Looking at Yun Che’s eyes and feeling the will contained in his voice, he was absolutely certain that if protecting Ling'er required the price of his own life, he would unhesitatingly choose to let himself die.
He gently held Su Ling'er’s hand, and that hazy, towering presence was as though he were guarding his entire world.
And Su Ling'er clung tightly to him, leaning on him. Even when she came before her own father, she still stayed by his side instead of rushing over to her. Her eyes showed worry for him, but not a trace of fear... As if as long as she leaned against him, she was afraid of nothing.
He had only met and gotten to know Yun Che and his daughter today. He couldn’t understand how such a deep emotional bond could have formed between them. He believed that even two people who had been inseparable for more than ten years would find it difficult to achieve such pure protection and reliance.
Could it really be some kind of predestined fate?
