Su Mingrui's sole concern was the relationship between Ye Ningze and the young lady of his family.
If they were merely friends, offering him protection would be no problem. However, if he intended to use the Su family's young lady to achieve some unspeakable goal, then he wouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
It was true that the Su family was a grand tree, but not everyone was qualified to cling to it for favor.
Moreover, the Su family was far more complex than they imagined. Precisely because of this, Ye Ningze's involvement might not always be a good thing.
Even if the Su family's young lady intended to win him over, the key to it all was not something that could be explained in a few words.
As the youngest elder of the Su family and a confidant of the family patriarch, Su Mingrui had an obligation to prevent the Su family's young lady from doing anything out of line.
The position of the Su family patriarch was already unstable and precarious. If the Su family's young lady caused any further trouble, it would inevitably implicate her father, the patriarch.
This was something Su Mingrui absolutely could not allow to happen. It was known that the elders and the patriarch of the Su family generally represented not just their own interests.
They more often represented the interests of their entire faction, and there were many factions within the Su family.
The Grand Elders of the Su family commanded a reputation and prestige that the current family patriarch could not compare to.
Therefore, this faction was much more favored than others. Similarly, for the family patriarch to regain true power from the Grand Elders,
He needed to advance step by step, constantly develop allies, and find ways to strengthen their power.
It was for this reason that they needed Su Xue to pay a price for the benefit of this faction.
And the only thing Su Xue could leverage was her marriage. Therefore, Su Mingrui had to prevent her from doing anything foolish. Even mere rumors could deal a heavy blow to the interests of Su Mingrui's faction within the Su family.
Thus, he hoped that Ye Ningze would retreat, or at least maintain a certain distance from the young lady of his family.
"The other members of the young lady's family have entered the depths of the ruins. I've come to fetch you. Please accompany me to the family camp."
Su Xue naturally understood Su Mingrui's intention in trying to separate her from Ye Ningze.
But little did she know that Ye Ningze was the boundless treasure. If they missed Ye Ningze, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
In fact, what Su Xue feared most was not these things. What she feared most was Su Mingrui offending Ye Ningze without understanding the situation, which would definitely not be good for them.
Su Xue's greatest fear was that someone would fail to recognize talent and miss out on a true protector, or even offend Ye Ningze, which would be detrimental to the future situation of the Su family.
This was especially true for her father. Originally, her father's faction was relatively weak.
If they were to truly confront the people of the Grand Elders, then someone would have to break the current stalemate.
And Ye Ningze was the only one with the strength and potential to do so. Most importantly, Ye Ningze belonged to no faction, so he would not involve the interests of others. He would be the one to change the entire structure of the Su family.
The current Su family was a family in decline. If family reforms were not carried out,
Then this family would eventually perish. Especially the Grand Elders, they were like a tumor within the family, slowly dragging the family towards cancer.
Ye Ningze possessed such strength and ability. Su Xue said to Su Mingrui:
"Uncle, I don't think this can be rushed. Instead, there's something I need your help with."
When Su Xue spoke, Su Mingrui would not refuse. However, no matter what they did now, the most important thing was to separate from Ye Ningze. It was known that the young lady of the Su family was developing feelings for a stranger.
Even if this man had immense abilities, compared to an entire family, he was merely a sesame seed compared to a watermelon.
"Young lady, whatever you need my help with, just ask. I will definitely help you complete the remaining matters."
Originally, Su Mingrui thought that Su Xue still had some unfinished business in this place, which was why she chose to stay.
And as long as he completed these unfinished tasks, Su Xue would have no reason to remain there.
However, he did not expect Su Xue to ask Su Mingrui to bring the Su family members to help Ye Ningze capture demonic beasts.
Who would have thought that Su Xue would ask them to help Ye Ningze capture demonic beasts? It was known that demonic beasts were extremely difficult to capture, and these demonic beasts would often attack humans in swarms.
Su Mingrui never imagined that he would end up helping Ye Ningze capture demonic beasts.
However, since it was the young lady of the Su family who asked him to do so, and Su Mingrui felt that he should quickly finish things here and take the young lady of the Su family away from this place.
The demonic beasts Ye Ningze wanted them to capture were relatively simple: those with strong reproductive capabilities and immense power.
These demonic beasts would become the true masters of this space, and the most pitiful in this space were Liu Pangzi and the others.
Liu Pangzi and his group had gotten lost in this space. They had been living a primitive life these past few days.
For days, they had been repeatedly tormented by the problem of finding an exit. They did not know how to get out of this vast space.
However, they were lucky that the demonic beasts here were in swarms, and large numbers of demonic beasts would be sent in from time to time.
This way, their food supply was not a problem. But staying in this place like this was not a solution.
So, every day they dreamed of being able to leave this place, return to the secret realm, and return to the Sun Base. Only then could they live better.
Liu Pangzi gnawed on an unknown fruit in his hand and grumbled to the people under his command:
"Damn it, eating this stuff every day, my mouth is so bland it's like a bird's nest. And that guy, don't let me find him. If I find him, I'll definitely make him regret being born into this world."
Liu Pangzi thought venomously about how to torment Ye Ningze. If it weren't for Ye Ningze, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state today.
But just as Liu Pangzi was complaining, demonic beasts, one after another, suddenly fell from the sky. These demonic beasts were of different species but possessed strong combat power and reproductive capabilities.
