Sure, I have translated the text line by line while keeping the context and nuances in mind.

With these words from Su Shuizhe.
Inside the grand hall.
It was as if frozen solid!!!
Utterly dead silent.
Su Shuizhe actually... actually... actually wants to introduce Su Chen to Princess Lingxi just for some Will Crystals? My God!
Su Chen's great fortune has arrived!
If he can meet Princess Lingxi through Su Shuizhe, and have a bit of luck, even if he speaks a few more words with Princess Lingxi, he would have met her, and it would benefit him greatly in the future.
Anyway, the martial cultivators present were almost dying of jealousy towards Su Chen. If they had the opportunity, they would give as many Will Crystals as they could afford, all willingly.
Su Shuizhe is like exchanging gold for iron.
Though Will Crystals are precious, they don't compare to the value of knowing Princess Lingxi!
Could Su Shuizhe and Su Chen be relatives? After all, they both have the surname Su. If not relatives, why would Su Shuizhe present Su Chen with such a significant opportunity?!
Consider that Su Chen has just joined Xuanshi Divine Pavilion for a few days? And now he has the chance to meet the princess? Many disciples who have been in Xuanshi Divine Pavilion for thousands of years dream of such a thing, and it's... it's about to happen so quickly?
Even Mei Xiuxiu and Gao Peng were blushing with excitement, genuinely happy for their junior brother.
However.
At this moment.
Su Chen was speechless.
Well, speechless to the point of silence.
But in Su Shuizhe's eyes, this silence was because Su Chen was too excited to speak.
"No need to be so excited, nor to thank me. I just see you as a friend." Su Shuizhe stared at Su Chen, with a slightly proud smile: "I also hope for more geniuses in the younger generation. Since I find you pleasant, I will take care of you and support you. No need to feel burdened, just relax."
Su Shuizhe felt that offering such a generous gift might leave Su Chen excited, overjoyed, and at a loss for words. So he comforted Su Chen with a few words, poured another glass of wine, and drank it.
Next second.
"I refuse." Su Chen faced Su Shuizhe, then uttered these three words.
As these three words were spoken.
Instantly.
Inside the grand hall!!!
Only pairs of eyes nearly bulging out remained.
Everyone was petrified.
Did their ears have an illusion? Su Chen actually... actually refused? Just refused like that? Without hesitation?
This reckless fool, is he out of his mind?
"What did you say? I didn't hear you." Amidst the dead silence, Su Shuizhe's smile faded, putting down the wine glass in his hand, he said softly, staring at Su Chen with a bit of chill in his voice, and mostly disbelief!
How could it be? Su Shuizhe simply couldn't believe this was real.
Is this kid's brain malfunctioning?
"Su Chen, if you were too excited and misspoke, I can give you another chance to change your words." Deep breath, Su Shuizhe said solemnly, staring hard at Su Chen.
When Su Shuizhe opened his mouth again, Su Chen noticed the killing intent from Su Shuizhe for a split second, though well hidden and restrained, yet he still felt it.
Precisely because Su Chen felt that trace of concealed killing intent, he raised his brows slightly and smiled, a playful smile: "Give me a chance to change my words? Do I need you to give me a chance? Need to change my words? Haha... Who do you think you are?"
Who do you think you are?!
Crazy!
Completely crazy.
After Su Chen said these few words, clearly, Mei Xiuxiu and Gao Peng fell into a faint state.
And the other disciples in the grand hall, one by one, had no heartbeats or breathing sounds.
The kind of trembling terror, and disbelief, spread madly, filling the air madly.
Pairs of eyes contracted to the extreme, stared at Su Chen, motionless.
If not heard with their own ears, they wouldn't believe that anyone dared speak to Su Shuizhe like this!
At least, in the thousands of years Su Shuizhe has been in Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, this was the first time, ever.
"You, very good." Su Shuizhe himself, his eyes like swords, stared at Su Chen, the wine glass in his hand directly disintegrated into powder, that killing intent flashed again, a moment of flash, yet extremely ominous, like a serpent's tongue, giving a chilling feeling.
Su Shuizhe stood up, leaned his head next to Su Chen's ear, and said, "I guarantee you will taste the world's purest despair."
Su Shuizhe's voice, extremely ominous, permeated Su Chen's ear.
Then, Su Shuizhe straightened up, turned, and headed towards the Heavenly Saint Area.
Su Chen still remained indifferent, well, no emotional fluctuations from beginning to end.
Next.
The atmosphere in the grand hall remained strange.
Many disciples had neither the mood for chatting, dancing, nor listening to music, occasionally glancing at Su Chen, intensely curious about him.
The man who dares to embarrass Zhuge Wuyan, challenge Su Shuizhe, at only 28, with merely the Broken Eternal Realm, truly is...
For a long time.
As the banquet's starting time approached.
More and more people arrived.
Among them, besides the already present Zhuge Wuyan and Su Shuizhe, those receiving attention and respect were none other than Wu Jue ranked second on the Xuan ranking, Zhao Yong ranked third, Nine-Star disciples Zhou Zhengcang, Yao Yiyao, Xue Hui, and those who succeeded in vein cleansing like Yoo Yan and Gao Bi.
Among them, Wu Jue was the youngest, a gentle young gentleman, spoke very little, after entering the grand hall, he went to the Heavenly Saint Area by himself, didn't say anything from beginning to end.
Zhao Yong always had an honest smile, seemingly akin to Gao Peng, lacking any special traits, giving a feeling of blending into the crowd.
Zhou Zhengcang, using one word, proud!!! Extremely proud! Slightly raised head, refined and tidy attire, sword eyebrows and beautiful teeth, pride highlighted by handsomeness!
Yao Yiyao was sharp-edged, his weapon seemed to be flying daggers, the whole person's demeanor was like flying daggers.
Yoo Yan was reserved, only the pair of eyes seemed to have flames within them, leaving a deep impression, additionally, Yoo Yan's aura appeared thicker than Su Shuizhe's, also in the Heavenly Dao Ninth Level Mid Stage.
Gao Bi was reserved, well, he didn't leak any trace of his aura.
After these few arrived, the banquet was about to begin.
The atmosphere became intense again.
Su Chen seemed gradually overlooked again, after all, the number of top prodigies attending was increasing, each top prodigy took away some attention and focus.
Su Chen was enjoying himself, sitting in a corner, drinking, quite blissful.
After a while.
"Princess Lingxi has arrived!"
At the door, one of the maids said, her voice filled with excitement and reverence.
And as she announced.
In an instant.
The whole scene became respectful and admiring.
Clearly, inside the grand hall, whether men or women, all stood up, Su Chen was pulled up by Mei Xiuxiu and Gao Peng.
