My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue raised her hand and shielded Qi Yu behind her, looking at Su Lie indifferently.

Qi Yu patted Su Yue on the shoulder and then came out from behind her.

"Cousin Su Lie, what do you want? And you told me I didn't need to make such a big fuss, I was scared to death!"

Qi Yu patted his chest as he spoke, looking scared.

"You're asking for death!" Su Lie gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse, clearly furious.

Qi Yu blinked and said, "I'm looking for death? Cousin Su Lie, are you going to hit me?"

As he spoke, Qi Yu raised his hand and said to everyone, "Everyone, please don't help me. My cousin Su Lie must have his reasons for wanting to hit me."

"As Su Yue's husband, I can also be considered half a member of the Su family. If my brother wants to discipline me, I will accept it no matter what the reason is."

“My wife is well-educated, gentle, and has the demeanor of a lady. I believe that my cousin Su Lie is also a member of the Su family and is cultured. He won’t be like a street thug who would go berserk and hurt people at the slightest disagreement.”

"I believe that the Su family members are all highly cultured, have excellent literary skills, and are very upright in character, so please, please do not help them."

……

Everyone looked at Qi Yu with strange and complicated expressions. They had never seen such a despicable person before.

Moreover, they are eloquent and persuasive!

Qi Yu smiled at Su Yue, giving her a reassuring look, then walked up to Su Lie, head held high and chest out.

"Cousin Su Lie, hit him! Don't hold back, hit him hard!"

Su Lie clenched his fists, his true energy surging.

There really are such despicable people in the world who want others to hit them!

He really wanted to slap Qi Yu's face, which seemed to be mocking and sneer.

That's so damn despicable!

However, he couldn't fight, because Qi Yu was using the reputation of the entire Su family as a shield. If he fought, it would be a complete denial of Qi Yu's praise.

Most importantly, he sensed the indifferent gazes of Su Yue and Su Yun. Having been on the battlefield and experienced life and death, he keenly perceived the danger.

And it's life-threatening!

Under the immense fear of life and death, the anger was greatly diminished.

Withdrawing his inner energy, Su Lie planned to turn and leave. Out of sight, out of mind. He couldn't argue with him, and he couldn't fight him, so couldn't he at least hide?

Suddenly, a hand wrapped in bandages magnified in my eyes.

boom!

Qi Yu slapped Su Lie across the face, but because of the bandage, the sound wasn't very clear. However, it was loud enough in the quiet hall.

Everyone stared in disbelief at Qi Yu, never expecting him to suddenly slap Su Lie.

Su Lie was also a little confused, but he quickly realized what was happening. His eyes turned bloodshot, his true energy surged, and he punched Qi Yu in the chest.

He's now blinded by rage and doesn't care about anything else.

Su Yue and Su Yun's expressions changed. They were about to make a move when suddenly, a chill swept through the hall.

Bang!

Su Lie's fist missed Qi Yu's head because it was gripped by the back of a hand covered in bandages.

Everyone was stunned, including Su Lie.

His punch, delivered with full force and brimming with rage, was actually caught, and caught so smoothly.

Qi Yu forcefully pried Su Lie's fist away from his face and stared directly at Su Lie.

At this moment, Qi Yu no longer had the carefree and cheeky demeanor he had shown earlier; all that remained was indifference.

"Just because of Su Yue, I call you cousin. Do you really think you're my brother? That you can bully and beat me at will?"

As Qi Yu spoke, he exerted a little force, and Su Lie's lips twitched. The icy coldness from his hand gradually made it lose sensation.

Qi Yu snorted coldly, and mimicking what Su Lie had done to him earlier, he pushed Su Lie away with his hand.

Su Lie stumbled back several steps, clutching his right hand, which was now numb.

The hall was deathly silent; everyone stared blankly at Qi Yu.

He actually managed to take a punch from Su Lie and push Su Lie away.

Su Yue and Su Yun both looked at Qi Yu with surprise, then recalled the true energy Qi Yu had displayed during dinner that afternoon, and looked at Qi Yu with complicated expressions.

It's not just about learning after watching it once; it's about being able to use true qi, even if it's just the simplest form.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

The dripping sound of the liquid snapped everyone out of their astonishment, and they all looked at Qi Yu's right hand.

The bandage was stained red with blood and was now dripping down his fingers.

It's obvious the wound has reopened!

Su Yue was the first to react. She ran to Qi Yu's side, grabbed his hand, and looked at the wound with a face full of heartache and worry.

Qi Yu's indifferent face slowly turned into a gentle smile as he said, "My wife, it's cracked again. I'll have to trouble you again!"

Su Yue looked at Qi Yu's smile and felt disgusted.

Su Lie had just gone all out. If he had been hit by that punch, he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't have any hidden injuries.

Do you know how dangerous that was?

Su Yue's voice trembled slightly; she still felt lingering fear and apprehension when she thought about it.

Qi Yu looked into Su Yue's eyes and said seriously, "I'm very angry that he said you're blind. I, Qi Yu, am indeed neither a high-ranking official nor an invincible expert."

“But I have my bottom line. I am your husband. If anyone dares to humiliate you, even if it is dangerous, I will protect you.”

“If he weren’t surnamed Su, I would show him what true blindness is.”

With that, Qi Yu turned around, looked at Su Lie, his expression indifferent, and said, "My woman, Qi Yu's woman, is not someone that any scoundrel can insult!"

Su Lie's face was grim, but he didn't say anything.

He lost; if Qi Yu hadn't shown mercy, his arm would have been ruined.

At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at Qi Yu, and their gazes changed.

When they first heard that Su Yue had married a poor, uneducated scholar, many people secretly mocked her for her poor taste.

What just happened has already given them a severe slap in the face.

This person... is very strong!

At least, Su Lie can't beat him!

Qi Yu turned around, but before he could say anything, a fragrant breeze wafted over. Su Yue had already thrown herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around Qi Yu's waist and pressing her face against Qi Yu's chest.

Qi Yu blinked, then looked at his blood-soaked right hand and grimaced helplessly.

He'd really screwed up with his reckless actions! He had such a beautiful woman in his arms, but he could only watch!

Huge loss!

"My wife, with so many people watching, I'll feel shy if you hug me like this. How about I let you hug me as much as you want tonight? Let me go first, okay?" Qi Yu said.

Su Yue didn't say anything, but buried her face in Qi Yu's chest.

Qi Yu blinked, looking puzzled.

Su Yue seems to be acting strangely right now!

Just as she was about to say something, Su Yue released her grip on him in the next second.

However, after Su Yue let go, she turned around and pulled Qi Yu towards the door without saying anything.

Su Yun watched Su Yue's retreating figure, then sighed helplessly, before a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Qi Yu is quite good!

Although he's a little worse than me!

Chapter Twenty-Two: Su Cheng

In Su Yue's boudoir, Qi Yu sat in this chair for the third time today, doing the same thing.

Su Yue did the same, carefully stopping the bleeding and bandaging Qi Yu's wound.

This time, the wound stretched across the entire palm and was torn open.

Su Yue was always extremely careful, as if she was afraid of hurting Qi Yu.

Qi Yu kept looking at Su Yue, ignoring the injury on her palm.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his palm, causing Qi Yu to gasp and come to his senses.

"Ouch! My wife, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Be gentle!"

Su Yue looked up, her face full of regret, then sighed helplessly and could only be gentler.

The bandage was quickly finished, and it was thicker than before, now covering all five fingers.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he'd lost a hand!

Qi Yu looked at his right hand with a helpless expression. In this state, he couldn't even eat!

"Alright, my husband, let's go and take our seats. The birthday banquet is ready."

Su Yue put the medicine box away and then said to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu nodded. A servant had just come to inform them that the birthday banquet was ready and that Qi Yu and Su Yue should go.

The banquet was held in the central hall, a spacious room.

When Qi Yu and Su Yue arrived, the banquet had already begun, and the guests were already seated.

Qi Yu glanced at them and saw that there were fewer than forty people in total, which was probably the majority of the Su family.

The elders sat at one table, and the younger generation sat at their own tables.
