Chapter 837: Just Bring Him Back

"Why are you laughing, Su Yu'er?" Guan Ling's face turned ashen.

He was at a loss for what to do.

This big shot couldn’t just be let in, nor could they pretend he didn’t exist. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place, and here this girl was, laughing.

"I’m laughing at how nervous you all look," Su Yu'er said.

"You—you don’t even realize how powerful they are. How could we *not* be nervous?!" Guan Ling scolded.

"Someone like this, with an unknown background—if we handle this even slightly wrong, it could spell disaster, even the end of our sect. You, this girl, you have no sense of reverence or awareness of danger. It’s all because I spoiled you too much in the past."

Guan Ling was utterly overwhelmed.

"Giggle."

Su Yu'er covered her mouth, laughing even more freely.

"I really don’t know what you’re so nervous about. They’re just the guests I invited. They’re my dear older brothers."

Guan Ling was about to continue reprimanding her when he suddenly froze. He grabbed Su Yu'er and asked, "What… what did you just say?"

"I said they’re the guests I invited. Why would they destroy the Cloud Calamity Sect?" Su Yu'er blinked innocently.

Her words made Guan Ling’s eyes widen, and his lips began to tremble.

"Yu'er, little Yu'er, are you saying… are you saying…"

Before Guan Ling could finish, Su Yu'er nodded seriously.

"Then… then what you said about the hundred buckets…"

Guan Ling muttered to himself, remembering the centipede’s hundred legs. Suddenly, he was absolutely certain. After all, who the hell would use a hundred buckets to wash their feet?!

"Ahahaha!"

"Little Yu'er, you truly live up to all the care and training I’ve given you over the years!" Guan Ling’s face was now a crumpled mess of joy.

In his excitement, he hugged Su Yu'er and planted a big, wet kiss on her tender cheek.

"Master, your breath smells awful! And you’re acting so unseemly for an elder!" Su Yu'er wiped the spit off her face and complained.

"Hehe, I’m just so happy! All these years, my greatest pride has been raising you," Guan Ling said, rubbing his hands together with a wide grin.

He never would’ve imagined that Su Yu'er could make friends with such a big shot. This was truly a moment to savor!

"Hmph, Master, you weren’t saying that earlier," Su Yu'er grumbled.

"Earlier, earlier I was just joking with you," Guan Ling quickly explained, still smiling.

"If you don’t believe me, ask all the elders here. Haven’t I always praised you for your potential?"

Su Yu'er tilted her head skeptically and looked at the elders.

Seeing this, the elders quickly put on smiles and chimed in unison, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Now ask them if I always say you’re a good kid," Guan Ling pressed.

Su Yu'er tilted her head again.

The elders nodded in unison once more. "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Finally, ask them if we’re all proud of you," Guan Ling added.

Su Yu'er tilted her head again.

The other elders nodded in unison again. "Yes, yes, yes!"

"That’s more like it."

Su Yu'er was satisfied. She tapped her finger thoughtfully and said, "Then shouldn’t you hurry and invite my two brothers in?"

"We will, we will," Guan Ling said eagerly.

This was no joke. Being able to establish a relationship with such a big shot was like a lifelong bachelor discovering that all the other men in the world had died—leaving only him!

Immediately, the Cloud Calamity Sect opened its gates. Under Guan Ling’s lead, tens of thousands of people, from top to bottom, came out to welcome the guests.

With utmost respect, they ushered the Centipede and the Spirit King into the sect.

"Little Yu'er, big brother said you sent a message saying you were being bullied. That’s why my brother and I rushed over. So, where are the people who bullied you? Tell me, and I’ll take care of them for you," Night Wind Centipede said.

"Brother Night Wind, the people who bullied me were the ones you just chased away," Su Yu'er said.

"Oh, those guys?"

Night Wind Centipede’s eyes narrowed.

"Yes, it was them," Su Yu'er confirmed.

"Damn, I let them go too easily. That won’t do," Night Wind Centipede said, looking regretful.

"Brother Night Wind, it’s fine. You chased them off already. That’s enough," Su Yu'er said.

"How is that enough?" Night Wind Centipede said seriously. "Big Brother told me before we left that I must thoroughly teach a lesson to anyone who bullies you."

"But… but they’ve already run away," Su Yu'er said.

"Then we’ll just bring them back."

Night Wind Centipede’s expression turned grave. One of his hundred legs suddenly pierced through the void.

In the distant space, Zhou Song was sweating and crying, his feet kicking up sparks as he fled through the air.

"Hmph, the Dao Realm, right?!"

"We also have a Dao Sect backing us. Today’s grudge, I’ll remember it. One day, I’ll pay it back tenfold, a hundredfold!"

Zhou Song was muttering fiercely when suddenly, the void tore open, and a centipede leg shot out, grabbing him and yanking him back into the void.

"Thud."

In an instant, Zhou Song was thrown onto the ground at the feet of Su Yu'er, Guan Ling, and the others.

At that moment, everyone—except the slightly oblivious Su Yu'er—was stunned.

Even Zhou Song, who only realized what had happened when he hit the ground, was the same.

What… what kind of power was this?

Zhou Song had been running for so long!

And yet, he was captured in an instant?
