"Don't treat me like a human!"
"Take me away?" Su Bingyu's expression was strange, but she still explained, "Where can we go? How about this: you put down what you're holding and surrender to Young Master Chen. I will plead for you. What do you think?"
Seeing the pained look on Su Bingyu's face, a wave of heartache flashed through Ye Hao's mind.
His fiancée, to save him, was willing to plead with Chen Anlin!
"I won't agree!"
"Bingyu, let's leave."
"Why are you so unreasonable? Just surrender!"
"Young Master." Suddenly, an old man limped out from the crowd. "Chen Anlin has brought people to kill us. We need to leave quickly."
"Take Bingyu with us."
"Young Master, hurry up! If we take anyone with us, we won't be able to escape."
The old man was a protector hidden by Ye Hao's side; even Ye Hao himself did not know of his existence. This old man had been arranged by Ye Hao's deceased relatives. Now, he had no choice but to step forward.
"Cheng Bo, you... you didn't die?"
Ye Hao was stunned. He had watched Cheng Bo grow old and die; how had he come back to life?
He was overjoyed because Cheng Bo was a master at the fourth rank and skilled in assassination techniques, making him difficult to detect.
"Cheng Bo, kill that Chen Anlin first."
"Young Master, there are too many experts here. If we kill him, we won't be able to escape. We need to leave quickly." Cheng Bo said helplessly.
He had faked his death just to test Ye Hao's abilities. However, his lifespan had indeed diminished significantly; now he was low on energy and his cultivation was declining.
In such a situation, under the watchful eyes of so many experts, it was already difficult enough to protect Ye Hao's escape; how could they go after Chen Anlin?
As Ye Hao hesitated, Cheng Bo picked him up and kicked off the ground, flying away from the scene.
"Wait for me, Bingyu!" Ye Hao called out helplessly.
Su Bingyu frowned. "What are you waiting for? If it weren't for Young Master Chen arranging for me to come here, I wouldn't bother with you at all." In truth, this was merely a task assigned by Chen Anlin.
However, despite the mission's failure, Su Bingyu felt a sense of joy in her heart. Finally, she had managed to shake off Ye Hao!
When Chen Anlin arrived, Su Bingyu looked pitiful and said, "Young Master Chen, he ran away."
"It's fine," Chen Anlin nodded, unfazed.
This Ye Hao, although he was a child of destiny, was merely a low-tier version of one. His golden finger only granted him the inheritance of cultivation, but having an inheritance alone was not enough; he still needed resources. Even the Empress had limited spirit stones and cultivation resources, and Ye Hao had even less. Otherwise, his spiritual power wouldn't be weaker than hers.
Next, through Zhou Bai, Chen Anlin learned about the sect behind Ye Hao.
The Seeking Immortals Sect!!
This sect was not well-known; many people had never heard of it. But according to Zhou Bai, it was a hidden sect whose purpose was to gather various cultivation herbs in hopes of attaining immortality.
Meanwhile, Ye Hao was led by Cheng Bo to a secluded waterhole in the wilderness.
"Thank you for saving me, Cheng Bo. It's a pity that Bingyu..." As he thought about Su Bingyu possibly facing the inhumane torment from Chen Anlin, his heart felt heavy with sorrow. Now that he couldn't even be the Su family's son-in-law anymore, it only made him feel worse.
Cheng Bo sighed. For the past few days, he had been pretending to be a garbage collector, secretly protecting Ye Hao around the Su residence. He couldn't understand why he was going to such lengths for a woman.
Here was the young master of the Xunxian Sect, reduced to being a son-in-law of a small family, and on top of that, enduring endless humiliation. He was often slapped by his mother-in-law, his status lower than that of a servant. The worst part was that his wife never treated him well; not only did she refuse to let him touch her, but she also fawned over that Chen Anlin.
As her protector, Cheng Bo found it increasingly difficult to watch. He even began to suspect that his young master might have some peculiar preferences.
"Young Master, to be honest, I don't think Su Bingyu is right for you. Just look at how she hardly pays you any attention while being so attentive to Chen Anlin."
Cheng Bo felt helpless and decided to offer some advice.
"You don’t understand, Bingyu likes me! She used to act cute with me, you know?" Ye Hao replied confidently.
"Is kicking you considered acting cute?" Cheng Bo frowned. "It seems like she kicked pretty hard."
"She just didn't control her strength well," Ye Hao defended. "As for her fawning over Chen Anlin, I can understand that. It's all because Chen Anlin is too pushy. Hmph! Once I deal with him, I believe Bingyu will immediately come running into my arms."
Ye Hao spoke with great confidence.
"But the problem is, if you leave now, Chen Anlin might take advantage of Su Bingyu. At that point, she may lose her purity! I've heard that Chen Anlin is incredibly lecherous and enjoys training women."
Cheng Bo furrowed his brows tightly. He deliberately brought this up in hopes that his young master would give up on Su Bingyu. After saying this, Ye Hao frowned in contemplation.
