Su Chen was also depressed and glared at Ye Beibei in annoyance.
She had been calling Su Chen by his name the whole time. Why did she change the way she addressed him? She was definitely doing it on purpose!
"Bishop Xue, please don't misunderstand. There's a secret behind this!"
Su Chen didn't dare to be vague. He quickly explained the matter between him and Ye Beibei.
When Xue Zhen heard this, the anger on his face gradually disappeared. He said, "Even so, you knew that Miss Bei Bei was only 12 years old, but you still married her. This is still wrong. How can Miss Bei Bei marry in the future?"
Before Su Chen could speak, Ye Beibei was unhappy. "Who the hell are you? Why do you care about my business? Are you my father or my brother?"
Xue Zhen was embarrassed by Ye Beibei's words. He quickly bowed and said, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. I am Xue Zhen, the bishop of the Eastern Border Sanctuary. I am also the disciple of the Holy Lord. I am just concerned about Miss Beibei. If I have overstepped my boundaries, please forgive me."
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't the Holy Lord want to see me? Why don't you just take me to see him?" Ye Beibei said fiercely.
Xue Zhen nodded and immediately teleported Su Chen and Ye Beibei to the Tenth Layer of Heaven. When they entered the temple, Xue Zhen stopped Su Chen and said, "The Holy Lord wants to see Miss Beibei. You and I will wait outside."
Su Chen shrugged. He casually walked to the stairs and sat down cross-legged. He waited patiently.
To be honest, Su Chen was still worried about Ye Beibei. He wasn't worried that the Holy Lord would harm her. He was worried that Ye Beibei's temper would explode at any time. When this girl got angry, she would even hit her own father.
"Ding! Today's quest: Enter the temple to dig for treasures. Success will reward 50000 skill points."
Just as Su Chen was closing his eyes to rest, he suddenly heard the system's voice.
Finally, the long-awaited quest came.
He hadn't done any daily quests for a few months now. Every time he failed a daily quest, the skill point reward for the next day would increase by a lot. After accumulating for so long, the reward had risen to 50,000 skill points.
Only a treasure-digging mission could pique Su Chen's interest.
Su Chen spread out his hands and a golden treasure map appeared in his hands.
The treasure chest's coordinates were in the shrine behind him. It was less than a kilometer away. Su Chen could teleport there directly.
However, Xue Zhen was still around, so Su Chen had to think of a way to avoid him.
"Bishop Xue, can I take a stroll nearby?"
"Up to you."
Xue Zhen's mind did not seem to be on Su Chen. As long as he did not enter the temple, he did not care where he went.
Su Chen strolled and soon arrived at the other side of the temple.
After avoiding Xue Zhen's line of sight, Su Chen immediately teleported to the location where the treasure was hidden.
This was a room in the temple that was filled with junk. It was empty and there was nothing special about it.
Su Chen picked up the Yuchang sword and cut open the ground, digging out the treasure chest buried underground.
"Pa!"
Su Chen opened the treasure chest.
With a flash of light, the treasure chest disappeared. Instead, a red card appeared in Su Chen's hands.
Another summoning card?
Su Chen took a closer look and saw the words "Random Exchange Card" written on the card.
"Appraisal!"
"Random Exchange Card: Can randomly exchange for a secret treasure from the trichiliocosm."
Purely random?
Isn't that a gamble of luck?
Su Chen touched the Fortune Koi swimming on his arm and said, "Koi, koi, give me good luck!"
Su Chen immediately used the random exchange card.
"Ding … congratulations to the host for exchanging an S-grade secret treasure 'Heavenly Gold'."
Heavenly Gold?
The name sounds like a good item.
Then, a palm-sized pebble appeared in Su Chen's hands …
A rock?
Su Chen was stunned. Could this be a rock like the Jadeite Ore? Could it be that there's precious jade hidden inside?
"Appraisal!"
"Heavenly Gold: A pebble from the Immortal Realm. Although it's just an ordinary rock, because it has been stepped on by an Immortal, it contains a strand of Immortal Qi. It's a supreme-grade material for forging magic treasures."
God is a broken rock that has been stepped on by an Immortal.
This thing can be used to forge magic treasures?
And it's even a supreme-grade material?
Su Chen was a little dazed.
A broken rock, just because an Immortal stepped on it, it became a supreme-grade material.
The power of an Immortal is too terrifying!
Putting away the Heavenly Gold, Su Chen shook his head and teleported away from the temple.
Back at the main entrance of the temple, Su Chen once again entered a meditative state.
This meditation lasted for six to eight hours.
Ye Beibei finally walked out of the temple.
"Miss Beibei, do you really not plan to stay in the Sacred Region?
This is the center of the entire Eastern Sea Region. If you stay here, you'll be able to receive the guidance of the best teachers. You'll be able to unleash your potential to the greatest extent, allowing your strength to flourish with each passing day. "
Xue Zhen stepped forward and said.
Ye Beibei ignored him and walked directly to Su Chen's side. She grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go back."
Su Chen was stunned, but he didn't ask any questions. He nodded and said, "Okay."
But at this moment, the Sacred Leader's aged voice suddenly sounded in Su Chen's mind.
"Little guy, take care of Beibei for me. This is my last request in this life."
Just as he finished speaking, a flying sword flew out of the temple and landed in Su Chen's hand.
This flying sword was pure white and emitted a holy light. The moment one's gaze fell on the sword, it was as if even one's soul had gone through a baptism, and one's heart became incomparably peaceful.
"It's actually the Night Cutter Sword!
This is a high-grade Taoist weapon that has followed the Sacred Leader for thousands of years. I didn't expect the Sacred Leader to give it to you! "Xue Zhen was shocked, and a trace of undetectable jealousy and greed flashed in his eyes.
A high-grade Taoist weapon!
Su Chen was also very surprised. One had to know that Xu Canglan's Extermination Sword was only a low-grade Taoist weapon. This high-grade Taoist weapon was probably one of a kind in the entire Eastern Sea Region!
It was really unexpected that the Sacred Leader would give such a powerful magic treasure to him.
Was this the bargaining chip for him to protect Ye Beibei?
Su Chen took a deep breath and put away the Night Cutter Sword. He turned around and bowed to the temple. "Don't worry, Sacred Leader. I won't let anyone hurt Beibei at all."
"Don't talk nonsense with him."
Ye Beibei dragged Su Chen and flew out of the Tenth Heaven.
They flew out of the Eastern Sea Region and arrived at the vast sea. Su Chen couldn't help but ask, "What did the Sacred Leader say to you?"
"He's a bastard who abandoned his wife and daughter. There's no need to care about him. If he wants to die, then let him die."
Ye Beibei seemed to be really angry, but she wasn't willing to say anything. Su Chen saw that she was trying hard not to cry, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
"Lie on me and sleep for a while. I'll carry you back."
"Okay!"
Ye Beibei clung tightly to Su Chen's back and hugged him. Her tears dripped down and wet Su Chen's shoulder, but she didn't make any sound.
