Elder Li's sentence directly sentenced Su Xing to death!

"Elder Li, the entire matter was just a misunderstanding. He has no ill intentions and does not dare to commit a crime like looking down on the Great Zhou. Please let him off!"

The reason why Su Xing acted was to help Cheng Jin. As the patriarch of the Cheng Clan, how could he watch Su Xing suffer because of them?

However, Elder Li seemed to have already made up his mind that he must punish Su Xing.

Although Zhang Liang and Fu Shan were kneeling on the ground, they were still secretly delighted when they saw this scene.

To look down on the Zhou Dynasty was a heinous crime. Even if he didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin on account of Cheng Yao!

"Cheng Yao, I can see that you're having a tough time with this year's competition. I also want to use this opportunity to promote you. Don't let me down!"

Elder Li's words were a reminder, but actually, it was a warning!

Cheng Yao froze on the spot. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil.

Wu Tao had repeatedly told him to take good care of Su Xing, but now, not only did he not take good care of him, it seemed to have led Su Xing into an even bigger trap.

If today's matter were to end like this, then Cheng Yao would feel guilty for the rest of his life. Not only would he let Su Xing down, he would also let down Wu Tao, who had saved his life before.

However, Elder Li was a member of the imperial government. This time, he was here on behalf of the Zhou Empire. Cheng Yao was just an insignificant official, yet he couldn't even be called an official.

Cheng Yao bitterly laughed. Although he was in despair, he still stood up.

"Elder Li, if you insist on making Su Xing guilty, then I'm willing to accept this punishment in his place!"

For him, this was the best choice he could make at this point.

"Cheng Yao, tell me again!"

Clearly, Cheng Yao's attitude had thoroughly angered Elder Li.

After all, promoting Cheng Yao was just a formality on the surface. Elder Li had given Cheng Yao a way out of this predicament to let him know his own position.

However, what Cheng Yao displayed was actually a resistance towards his orders. To Elder Li, it was undoubtedly a serious challenge to his authority.

A majestic Spiritual Energy pressure emitted from the center of Elder Li's body.

In just an instant, Su Xing suddenly felt how powerful this old fellow was.

Judging from the fluctuations of spirit power, this person was definitely above the earth spirit realm.

"Wait!"

At this moment, the beautiful young girl who had been silent all this time spoke up.

It was also at this moment that Elder Li's Spiritual Energy pressure started to slowly dissipate. Even though he had an aged face, there was still a trace of anger on his face.

"What did you say his name was?" the young girl asked Cheng Yao.

Cheng Yao didn't know what to do. However, when the girl asked, he could only reply, "His name is Su Xing!"

"Su Xing …" The young girl repeated this familiar yet unfamiliar name before her gaze locked onto Su Xing, who was in the middle of the crowd.

When he was stared at by an upright young girl, Su Xing felt extremely awkward. He didn't even know where he had placed his hands.

How strange, why did he suddenly ask for his name? Could it be that this woman had taken a fancy to him? Such a thought couldn't help but appear in Su Xing's mind!

"You're called Su Xing?" The young girl asked Su Xing.

Su Xing nodded his head. He suddenly took a step back and said, "Beauty, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, a warrior can kill but not humiliate. Even if you can take away my body, you will never be able to hold back!"

When these words were spoken, everyone could not help but vomit.

He had seen narcissistic people before, but he had never seen such a narcissistic person before!

As for the girl, she stuck out her tongue. Not only was she not angry, she even revealed a faint smile.

Very beautiful, very pure!

Su Xing thought to himself, 'If giving up my body is able to solve my current predicament, then it would be a good choice!'

However, the moment this thought appeared, it was immediately nipped in the bud.

He said that he wouldn't casually touch women, so how could he break the rule so easily?

Su Xing let out a deep sigh as he thought to himself. It's all the fault of that mysterious woman for taking my first time. Su Xing, who originally wasn't too interested in women, had discovered a new world and felt a little nostalgic!

The young girl's reaction caused everyone to be dumbstruck.

This was especially so for Zhang Liang and Fu Shan, who were kneeling on the ground.

In their eyes, the young girl was simply a fairy that could not be tamed in the slightest. However, Su Xing had just teased her in front of her face. Furthermore, she seemed quite happy …

Zhang Liang and Fu Shan gnashed their teeth in anger. They wished they could charge forward and tear Su Xing to shreds!

"You're quite interesting!"

The young girl smiled as she said this. Then, she walked in front of Elder Li and whispered in his ear for a moment.

After Elder Li finished listening, his gaze towards Su Xing also underwent a strange change!

"Let's forget about today's matter. If anyone dares to bring it up again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The simple sentence of Elder Li had shocked everyone.

That's it?

Weren't you looking down on the Great Zhou just now? Why did he suddenly stop pursuing the matter?

No one knew what the girl had said in front of Elder Li, but it was undoubtedly her appearance that saved Su Xing from this disaster!

Could it be that the girl had really fallen for Su Xing?

Even Su Xing himself could not answer this question, much less the others. All they could do was cast envious and jealous gazes at Su Xing.

This matter had already passed. The Cheng family had prepared a rich dinner for these people of the imperial city.

After the dinner, Cheng Yao went to find Su Xing and gave him a big bow.

"Senior Cheng, what are you doing? Isn't this junior the same?" Surprised, Su Xing quickly supported Cheng Yao.

Su Xing definitely couldn't afford such a huge gift.

"Sigh, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get you that spot in the ancient monument!" Cheng Yao sighed.

Su Xing smiled and replied in a relaxed manner, "If there's no more, there's no more. What's there to apologize for?"

"Aren't you sorry?" Cheng Yao asked.

"What a pity, but what use is it? Everyone has seen what happened today. With things like this, it would truly be strange if they could still obtain a placing." Su Xing said.

With a wry smile, Cheng Yao replied, "This is really something I've been planning all along. I never expected something like this to happen at such a crucial moment."

"I didn't expect it either." Su Xing shrugged and said.

After the two chatted for a while, Cheng Yao suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Su Xing with great interest!

"Oh right, I forgot to ask you. That girl seems to be very interested in you. Have you met her before?"
