“Since I’ve already killed someone, I’m not afraid to kill anymore” Su Xue Er muttered to herself.

Su Wen couldn’t help but took a few steps back.

Su Xue Er turned her head to look at Su Wen.

“Brother, perhaps you’ve forgotten, I’m a 4th stage Wind Elementalist”

“What could possibly make you think that I would do as you like?”

“Is it because we’re related by blood that you think I won’t hurt you?”

“But if blood relations are really that effective, then why do all of you treat me like this?”

The entire banquet went silent.

Everyone stared at Su Xue Er and the corpse on the ground.

“You —-You’re a lady of Su family, yet you killed someone in front of everybody —–“

Su Wen’s expression had already changed several times, this completely isn’t the sister that he remembers, the sister that’s kind-hearted and easy to manipulate.

He took a few more steps back, shaking.

“As the Lady of Su family, what’s really unbecoming is not acting despite being threatened”

Su Xue Er continued to speak, seemingly fallen into a strange state of mind.

“Why would you have this illusion that I’m easy to push around?”

“Because my academic records have always been good? Or because I like to support the poor? Or because normally I don’t ever do anything except to cultivate myself?” she muttered.

Then she headed towards Su Wen.

Su Wen’s teeth were clanking against themselves in fear, when he took a few more steps backward, he fell, and resorted to crawling away.

“What are you doing!”

A dignified male voice was heard.

When they turned back to look, the one they saw was Su family’s pillar, Su Xue Er’s father, Su Wen Sheng.

“Xue Er, what’s going on here? Why did you kill someone in front of everybody!” he coldly shouted.

Su Xue Er looked at her father and casually answered: “Because a mere servant dared to threaten me and have me do as he ordered”

Su Xue Er’s father stood blankly, unable to say anything back.

He only just came here so he didn’t know the situation was like this.

He originally wanted to use the scolding to gloss over his daughter’s wrongdoings, but seems like it wasn’t as simple as he thought.

Su Wen Sheng looked at the body on the ground.

——–this is the second wife’s subordinate.

How dare she reach for my daughter, despicable!

Feeling intense anger welling up, he gestured to his subordinate.

Very quickly, people came up to clean the body and the blood, returning the banquet hall to normal, like nothing happened.

All the aristocrats also nodded to smooth it over.

“Well, well, it’s just a small matter after all, Xue Er did the right thing”

“That’s right, such a daring servant, our family would’ve clubbed him to death long ago”

“Lady Xue Er certainly does carry the air of true nobility”

Su Wen Sheng nodded to Su Xue Er and gestured for her to come with him.

They left the banquet hall, walked past numerous rooms and finally arrived at Su Wen Sheng’s reading room.

The door was tightly closed behind them.

Su Wen Sheng angrily spoke: “No matter what you want to do, it’s fine if it’s a family matter, but to do that in front of everyone, do you still want to marry or not?”

Su Xue Er looked down and asked: “So father also wants me to marry out? I’m a very powerful Professionist you know; father doesn’t mind giving me to other people?”

Su Wen Sheng was surprised, then seemed to understand something.

His expression loosened, his tone also became a bit warmer: “I’m not saying that you have to marry out, but this is what your mother wants. She feels like a girl like you getting her happy ending sooner is better”

“As parents, of course we hope that you’ll have a good future ahead of you”

Hearing that, Su Xue Er looked up at her father.

She couldn’t help but ask: “Gu Qing Shan is a Confederate state scientist, even princess Anna likes him, why do you still insist on not accepting such a person?”

“Foolish daughter, his technology belongs to the Confederate, under controlled usage by Impartial Goddess, even we can’t obtain it easily”

Su Wen Sheng’s eyes then became crafty: “But the Mech he created is in your hand, the technology can easily be dismantled and reversed engineered”

“Which means, he himself isn’t important”

Su Xue Er hurriedly said: “But he has room to improve, he’ll achieve even more in the future, he’ll gain even greater recognition”

“Just who can be sure about the future? He’s just a normal person, he has no authority!”

“Is authority really so important?” Su Xue Er bit her lip.

Su Wen Sheng looked into his daughter’s beautiful face then suddenly sighed.

“Daughter of mine, without authority, your future is very bleak”

“Father, I don’t feel like gaining authority and getting together with him will be mutually exclusive”

Su Wen Sheng looked her his daughter, then remembered how she’s a 4th stage Elementalist and couldn’t help but agree with that.

He dejectedly leaned on his chair and casually spoke: “If you weren’t our Su family’s mainline daughter, I would definitely not stop you and allow you to marry Gu Qing Shan”

Hearing such a strange thing, Su Xue Er couldn’t help but opened her eyes wide and asked: “If I weren’t the mainline daughter? I don’t understand what you mean”

Su Wen Sheng stayed silent for a bit, then suddenly laughed: “That kid is also quite resilient to be able to live that long”

Su Xue Er’s face changed and hurriedly asked: “What do you mean by that? Who wants to kill him?”

“It’s not just ‘someone’, dear daughter” Su Wen Sheng sighed, “at the moment that he confessed to you, not just us, but any mainline of the 9 Lords will consider that to be a provocation and be hostile towards him”

“Why!?” Su Xue Er shouted.

“Because your husband, destined from birth, must be someone from the mainline of the 9 Lords” Su Wen Sheng answered.

“Destined from birth…?”

Su Xue Er slowly digested this information, but still couldn’t understand and stared at her father.

Su Wen Sheng shook his head, sighing.

I’ve already told her so much, I might as well just tell her everything.

“Daughter of mine, you also know about this, every mainline eldest daughter of the 9 Lords, according to our laws, can only marry another mainline 9 Lords”

Su Xue Er was stunned, then as she recalled the other eldest daughters of the 9 Lords in history, that truly is the case.

“No… no!” her face paled, “why would there be such a law?”

Su Wen Sheng paced back and forth in his room and angrily spoke: “Originally, this is only supposed to be told to you after you marry, but I’ll tell you this ahead of time so that you won’t elope with that brat”

“The mainlines of the 9 Lords can only marry each other as they reach maturity, using this to ensure that the 9 Lords’ common secret doesn’t gets leaked” Su Wen Sheng answered.

“What secret?”

“Even I don’t know what that secret is, only the main line members are allowed to know about it on the day that they inherit the position of family head”

“As far as I know, this secret has been protected for over 700 years”

“The secret has never been leaked? And you also don’t know about it?” Su Xue Er asked further.

“30 years ago, the Confederate’s most famous scientist Liao Xing was able to enter that secret’s location through warp technology”

“You mean, he succeeded?”

“No, he died the very next day” Su Wen Sheng shook his head, “his body was chopped into pieces, then burned, thrown away somewhere no one noticed”
