The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1068: Chapter 1067: Shangguan Sichen’s Condition

“Since the position of Family Head is already yours, you can arrange everything as you please, but I have one condition.” Shangguan Sichen said with a smile.

Su Changfeng was a perceptive person. He had already guessed that Shangguan Sichen’s obsession with Tuo Shi, to the extent of giving up the position of the Shangguan Family Head, must have a hidden motive, and now, Shangguan Sichen finally spoke out.

“Go ahead, what do you want me to agree to?” Su Changfeng stared intently at Shangguan Sichen.

Shangguan Sichen was an old hand in the world, and staring back at Su Changfeng made him feel a bit pressured.

“My condition is that while I’m still alive, you can take me to Tuo Shi to see and experience it for myself.” Shangguan Sichen said passionately to Su Changfeng.

Moreover, his gaze was fixed on Su Changfeng, as if hoping Su Changfeng would quickly agree to his request.

The attentive Su Changfeng certainly noticed Shangguan Sichen’s actions, which made him furrow his brows slightly.

In Su Changfeng’s view, Shangguan Sichen was not a confused person, and he must know that a mysterious place like Tuo Shi would never allow an outsider to enter. But he couldn’t understand why Shangguan Sichen was so determined to go to Tuo Shi. Could it be that Shangguan Sichen knew some secrets of Tuo Shi, or was there something in Tuo Shi that Shangguan Sichen wanted to obtain?

“Shangguan Sichen, I think you should be clearer than I am about how mysterious this place is in the world. If you want to enter Tuo Shi, you must get Tuo Shi’s consent, and to get their consent, you need immense power. But you are already of such an age, even if you wanted to learn martial arts, it would be difficult to meet Tuo Shi’s standards?” Su Changfeng said with a furrowed brow.

Shangguan Sichen waved his hand and said, “You’re indeed right. Someone like me, half my body already in the grave, certainly wouldn’t meet Tuo Shi’s standards. But you’ve gained their approval, and I know with your tremendous power and cunning, you’d do quite well even in a place like Tuo Shi. That way, you have the chance to bring me to Tuo Shi.”

“Shangguan Sichen, why are you so obsessed with Tuo Shi? Why must you go there?” Su Changfeng asked coldly, locking his eyes on Shangguan Sichen. Because Su Changfeng felt that Shangguan Sichen’s actions were truly perplexing. Someone of Shangguan Sichen’s age, even if he could enter Tuo Shi, would merely expand his perspective. But this alone didn’t seem enough to justify Shangguan Sichen’s elaborate efforts to go to Tuo Shi.

With Shangguan Sichen being such a cunning old fox, he always prioritized interests. For him to give up the position of the Family Head of the Shangguan Family indicated that he desired something possibly more significant than being Family Head.

“I have my reasons, which I can’t tell you yet. You just need to agree for now.” Shangguan Sichen said with a smile.

“Even if I agree now, once I’m in Tuo Shi, if I refuse, there’d be nothing you could do about it.” Su Changfeng said flatly.

Shangguan Sichen’s expression changed; Su Changfeng was right, but he believed in Su Changfeng, so after a long pause, Shangguan Sichen said in a low voice, “I trust you won’t.”

Su Changfeng has always valued his promises. Once he agreed to something, he would fulfill it at any cost. So he wanted to know why Shangguan Sichen was so eager to go to Tuo Shi. Because once he promised, he would follow through, meaning Shangguan Sichen would have a chance to enter Tuo Shi.

“If you don’t intend to tell me why you want to go to Tuo Shi, then I don’t care about the position of the Shangguan Family Head either.” Su Changfeng said.

Shangguan Sichen was taken aback by Su Changfeng’s words, visibly unsettled, even showing a bit of panic in his eyes. But it didn’t take long for him to regain his composure and say to Su Changfeng, “If I’m not mistaken, you promised to help Yang Junming find his daughter. Perhaps only the Shangguan Family has such strength in this world. More importantly, the influence of the Shangguan Family spans the globe. Even if you go to Tuo Shi, they can ensure your family is safe from life-threatening situations. Or do you not care about their lives?”

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng’s expression changed abruptly. His gaze lost its warmth and turned cold instantly, as he reached out and clasped Shangguan Sichen’s throat tightly, filled with killing intent, and said, “Shangguan Sichen, are you threatening me now? I think you should know the easiest way to eliminate a threat?”

Shangguan Sichen knew very well that with Su Changfeng’s current skills, he could take his life in an instant. However, he was unwilling to give up since his goal had not been achieved, so he wouldn’t give up easily.

“Changfeng, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean to threaten you at all. I was only reminding you that after you leave the mundane world and enter Tuo Shi, your family will surely need protection. Having the Shangguan Family protect them will absolutely ensure your peace of mind.” Shangguan Sichen said laboriously.

Su Changfeng gazed icily at Shangguan Sichen.

Shangguan Sichen didn’t flinch at all and maintained direct eye contact with Su Changfeng.

The two remained at a standstill for a long time until Su Changfeng’s grip finally loosened.

Because, for Su Changfeng, his family’s lives were the most important thing. Before heading to the otherworld, he had to ensure everything was well arranged so that once he left, there would be no threat to Shen Hanxue and Sunian’s safety.

Moreover, the Shangguan Family’s influence was intricate and widespread worldwide. Even if someone attempted to make a move, they wouldn’t be able to contend with them.

“Alright, I agree with your condition, but only when I have the qualification can I take you to the otherworld.” Su Changfeng conceded, saying coldly.

Upon seeing Su Changfeng agree, Shangguan Sichen’s eyes shone as if seeing gold, filled with excitement as he pounded his chest and assured Su Changfeng, “Changfeng, I promise you, from this moment on, the lives of Shen Hanxue and Sunian are my lives. As long as I’m around, I will not let them suffer even the slightest harm.”

As soon as Shangguan Sichen finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Shangguan Wenchuan and said assertively, “Kneel.”

Shangguan Wenchuan was puzzled. They had just reached an agreement, and Su Changfeng had agreed. Why demand him to kneel now?

“What are you still standing there for? Kneel!” Shangguan Sichen directly shouted seeing Shangguan Wenchuan still standing dumbly.
