Starting with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, school beauty, please be more reserved!

The sound caused everyone present to change their expressions.

They looked up and saw a figure rapidly approaching from the sky.

In an instant, they appeared before them.

This man was dressed in military uniform and appeared to be around sixty years old, yet he exuded an aura of authority befitting someone in a superior position.

That aura made it hard to breathe!

When Commander Mu and the others saw the man's face clearly, their expressions changed instantly.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you here!"

Commander Mu spoke instinctively, his tone filled with unspeakable awe.

The person in front of me is also one of the Nine Great War Gods of Shenxia!

He was just a minor commander, and the difference between him and others was like heaven and earth!

Old War God Chen glanced at Commander Mu, and the next second, his gaze fell on Su Chen.

Su Chen felt an aura locking onto him, as if everything about him was about to be seen through.

He really disliked this feeling.

So, he subconsciously activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

The scorching, restless power within his body also began to fluctuate.

Old Chen frowned slightly and said, "Sixth level of the Golden Body Realm, with extremely yang and strong internal energy. You do have some skill, kid!"

"However, this is no excuse for you to have consumed the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit without permission!!"

"According to military regulations, you should be severely punished!!"

Su Chen knew that this old guy must have come for the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit.

This matter is not going to end so easily.

However, Su Chen was not afraid at all, and directly asked, "Using military regulations to punish students of the Imperial Academy?"

"What kind of rule is this?"

Old Chen was stumped by the question.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that Su Chen was just an intern from the Divine Xia Imperial School.

How can military regulations be used to punish someone?

But after a brief pause of less than three seconds, Old Chen spoke up: "Stop being so sharp-tongued! Now that you're in the military, you should abide by the military's rules!"

"Of course I can punish you according to military regulations!!"

Su Chen smiled: "Then please tell me, what have I done wrong?"

"He embezzled the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit!!"

Without even thinking, Old Chen answered directly.

Su Chen immediately asked, "Is there any clause stating that this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit belongs to the military?"

"If it belongs to the military, why should I have to fight with demonic beasts for it?"

"And which rule says I can't consume the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit?"

"Not bringing back the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit is at most a mission failure, so... I want to know, which rule did I break?"

Su Chen didn't want to pretend anymore. With Old Deng and Grandpa right here, what was there to be afraid of?

Old Chen's expression was not good.

He hadn't expected Su Chen to be so eloquent.

The key point is that everything Su Chen said made sense.

If you say that Su Chen brought the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit back, handed it over to the military, and then stole and consumed it, that's one thing.

But the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit never even reached the military headquarters; it was devoured during the struggle, so there's nothing more to say about that!

To insist that this belongs to the military would be rather shameless!

Old Chen looked at Su Chen, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Since this is a mission from the military, you should complete it and bring back the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit."

"But you secretly consumed it; isn't that a grave mistake?!"

"Stop trying to argue your point!!"

Su Chen laughed out loud again upon hearing these shameless remarks.

"But why is your military tasking us, the students of the Divine Xia Imperial School, to compete for it?"

That one sentence left Old Chen speechless.

At this moment, Su Lin finally came out.

"Uncle Chen, I've already written everything very clearly in my report, giving a complete account of what happened!"

"If you have any further questions, you can ask me privately, but it's unreasonable for you to directly target my son!"

"Ultimately, he wasn't part of the military; he was just a cadet!"

"Could it be that Uncle Chen intends to use the military's requirements to control a student still in school?"

Undeterred, Su Lin stepped forward and shielded Su Chen behind him.

Old Chen's brows remained furrowed as he looked at Su Lin.

Then he let out a cold laugh: "But I've heard that someone said you deliberately instructed your son to eat the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit!"

Su Lin simply smiled and said, "Who said you wanted him to come and confront me face-to-face?!"

"Uncle Chen is a war god, after all; we can't just believe everything we hear!"

"Besides, when I arrived at Luoguan Ridge, the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit had already been consumed. I'd like to know how I instructed my son?"

Upon hearing Su Lin's words, Old Chen did not immediately refute them, but instead looked at Su Lin.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Su Lin, I know you love your son, but... you need to know what this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit means?"

"You've been in the military for so long, I'm sure you know something, so please don't make a mistake!!"

At this moment, Old Master Su finally spoke up.

"Old Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"You think my son is abusing his power, right?"

"Then stop talking about my son. Why don't you just say I ordered it?"

"Okay, then, have the military suspend me from my duties right now, and also fire my son, okay?"

"Forget about any doubts or suspicions. My Su family has been guarding the front lines for so many years; it's time for us to go back and enjoy our retirement!"

"Okay, go tell them now, and I'll leave immediately. I'll take the blame!"

Old Master Su spoke directly, which made Old Master Chen's expression change. Why was he getting so angry?

Before Old Master Chen could speak, Old Master Su said again, "If you still don't think it's enough, I'll write you another confession, okay?"

"I'll take the blame!"

"I'm the one who instructed my grandson to eat the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit. I'm coming clean, I admit it!"

"Stop checking every single day, isn't this the result you wanted?!"

"I'll grant your wishes!!"

As he spoke, Grandpa Su even took out paper and pen and wrote a confession.

But Old Chen frowned deeply and hesitated to take the confession.

At this point, whether or not it was Su Lin who instigated it is no longer of any significance.

Putting aside the fact that Su Lin's report was completely without any problems, their investigation also found it to be reasonable.

What if we really find out that Su Lin was behind it?

It's a fact that Su Chen ate the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit; there's no going back.

To say that Su Chen is a waste is one thing, but the talent and strength that Su Chen is showing now is epoch-making, a precipitous leap to become the number one!

In a sense, even if the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit ends up in the hands of the military, it would most likely still end up in Su Chen's hands in the end...

Furthermore, if he were to actually accept this confession and Elder Su were to run away, then he would become a sinner against Shenxia...
