Chapter 837 - Cutting off the love thread (2/2)

Everything there felt so magical and unbelievable—it had taken them some time to digest it all. To this group from the Original World, everything still felt like a dream. They could still feel pain when they pinched themselves, or they would have been convinced this was nothing but a dream.

“Wait, don’t tell me my brother is here?” Xiao Ruyi whispered.

Xiao Luo? Lao Xiao? Brother-in-law?

It jolted all of them when they heard Xiao Ruyi. It was certainly possible, and the chances of it being true were high.

“F*ck, why did I not think of it? Lao Xiao is undoubtedly also here in Arcana Land. I am sure he is here to look for Goddess Su. He has been missing a long time. I mean, just look at the calendar—it’s about time he shows up,” Zhang Dashan said.

“It makes sense… Yes, it makes sense. I think my Brother-in-law is here. He must be here!” Su Canye said, beaming with excitement.

“But if Brother is here, then why are they fighting?” asked Tang Ren. Puzzled, he looked at Xiao Ruyi and the rest of the group as he raised the question.

The question made all of them wonder what was going on.

Shen Qingyan’s pretty face looked anguished as she responded, “Because Li can only maintain her current cultivation level by cutting off the love thread. If she is in love, her cultivation level is going to be affected. If that happens and when the Great Archenemy from the prophecy appears, she cannot protect the thousands of beings here in Arcana Land.”

“How can this be true? It is like a scene from a soap opera. How can this be happening?” Zhang Dashan said with a frown.

Su Canye found it ridiculous as well, and said, “That is right. It makes little sense to sacrifice my Brother-in-law so that my sister can protect everyone.”

The more they spoke, the more anxious they were. Thoughts of the prophecy and what it would do to Xiao Luo were unnerving.

Cutting off the love thread?

The most efficient method would be to have Xiao Luo…

All of them shuddered and could not bring themselves to imagine any further.

“This will not do. I must have a word with Goddess Su. Lao Xiao has devoted himself to her. She cannot do this to him,” said Zhang Dashan. He dashed toward the exit of the courtyard.

The rest turned and followed him toward the exit.

But when they arrived at the exit of the courtyard, two Light Clan guards stopped them and told them they could not leave for the time being.

“What is going on? We are all guests invited by your Holy Lord. Are you putting us under house arrest?” Zhang Dashan shouted, visibly upset.

“We are not putting you under house arrest. But the current situation demands it. Please stay in the courtyard. It is not our decision but an order from the Holy Lord,” said one guard.

“Stop messing with me. I must see Goddess Su!” Zhang Dashan shouted, trying to push his way through.

But he quickly realized he was just an ordinary person with no cultivation. No matter how strong he was, he could not overcome someone with cultivation. The two guards used their True Inner Force to push him back, causing him to fall onto the ground.

“How dare you beat my man up! I am going to crush you!”

Chai Zhiying was furious and dashed forward. But the Light Clan guards stopped her in the same way.

No matter how much the group wanted to leave the courtyard, there was nothing they could do at all. In the end, they could only turn back.

“If anything happens to my brother, I will not let that woman off!” Xiao Ruyi hissed as she gritted her teeth. No matter how strong her opponents were, she would fight them till the end if they dared to hurt her brother.

“It will not happen. My sister is not that cruel. Don’t worry, it will not happen,” replied Su Canye. He shook his head, refusing to believe that his sister, Su Li, would put Xiao Luo in harm’s way.
