After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 823

Su Zhe, however, seemed oblivious to everything, his expression still terrified. "Sister Su, what exactly do you want me to do?"

These words seemed to trigger a darker side of Su Yao. She tightened her grip on the boy's neck, and her palms even shimmered with a faint light.

It's obvious that he's been possessed by spiritual energy and has truly decided to kill!

"Sister Su... Sister Su... no, please don't kill me, I'll do whatever you say..."

Seeing that Su Zhe was about to faint from suffocation, An Jiuxi instinctively tried to dart out from behind the artificial hill.

But as soon as she took a step forward, Su Yao was knocked to the ground by another surge of spiritual energy!

"what you do!"

Grandpa Shi rushed over with a face full of anger. When he saw Su Yao get up and try to do something to Su Zhe again, he immediately threw a demon-binding rope at her.

He then looked at Su Zhe, who was slumped on the ground.

"let me see."

With red eyes, Su Zhe removed the hand from his neck.

A deep red pinch mark was visible on the boy's fair neck, showing how much force Su Yao had used!

Old Master Shi frowned, then turned to look at the woman behind him who looked exactly like his daughter. He sighed deeply before saying, "Tell me, why did you have to do such a deadly thing to this child?"

"I remember how protective you were of this child back then. What are you doing now?"

Meeting the old man's puzzled gaze, Su Yao's eyes showed a hint of loneliness and regret.

This regret clearly stemmed from the fact that he hadn't killed the person in front of him before the old man arrived!

"Why...Isn't it all for Xixi! Everything I've done is for my Xixi!"

Su Yao shouted at Old Master Shi with a ferocious expression, her alternating crying and laughing making her seem quite insane.

"You all don't understand, you all don't understand! I did all this for Xixi! My Xixi can't die because of the Shi family's curse. My Xixi is so powerful, so young, how can she die because of this damn curse of the Shi family!"

Su Yao paused, then suddenly pointed to Su Zhe, who was hiding behind Shi Laozi.

"After all these years, I finally found something that can replace Xixi... Dad, do you know, do you know, this child is the legendary divine tree! As long as he dies, as long as he dies and returns to his original form, we can insert him into the array eye, and the Shi family's curse will disappear, and my Xixi won't have to die."

Su Yao grabbed Old Master Shi's sleeve and spoke earnestly, as if she was certain that Old Master Shi would kill Su Zhe after hearing these words!

"Sacred tree?"

Grandpa Shi looked incredulously at the boy hiding behind him, then at Su Yao, whose eyes were filled with fervor.

He fell silent.

"Dad, Dad! What are you hesitating for! Kill him! Kill him and our Xixi can live!"

Su Yao's words also shocked An Jiuxi, who was hiding in the shadows. She looked at Su Zhe with disbelief in her eyes.

She had heard of the sacred tree in some books, but the books always said it was a legend fabricated by the ancients and had no basis for verification.

How did Su Yao become so certain that Su Zhe was the divine tree she was looking for?

If Su Zhe is truly the Divine Tree, then who are Su Zhe's parents?

An Jiuxi was filled with doubts at the moment, and turned her gaze to the group again, observing them quietly.

"Su Zhe, tell me, what exactly are you?"

Grandpa Shi turned his head and looked at Su Zhe, his eyes calm and expressionless, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Su Zhe glanced at Su Yao, then his gaze fell on Old Master Shi.

After hesitating for a long time, he stammered, "Grandpa Shi, if I really am the Divine Tree, will you kill me as she said?"
