The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1131: Chapter 1130: Women Really Are Naive

To Tuo Shi, Su Changfeng is merely a newcomer; in the assistant’s eyes, he is just a newborn. Perhaps, as Elder Wu said, he might grow into a proud son of heaven, but that is something for the distant future. Asking him to bear such a heavy burden now is clearly unreasonable.

”Elder Wu, is this considered a gamble? You’re putting all your chips on Su Changfeng, hoping his strength will stimulate the vitality of Tuo Shi?” The assistant hesitated to speak.

Elder Wu nodded and said, ”Indeed, though doing so feels unfair to Su Changfeng, I believe he has the capability.”

The assistant still did not quite understand and said, ”Elder Wu, I really don’t comprehend why you value a newcomer so highly. Successfully getting through the Heavenly Level is truly unimaginable. I actually think it’s still unknown whether he can advance to the Earth Level.”

Elder Wu sighed. Ever since bringing Su Changfeng to Tuo Shi, the subsequent developments were beyond his control. Whether Su Changfeng has the ability to advance or whether he will live up to his expectations, Elder Wu could not guarantee. Even if an unexpected situation arises in the end, that is the price he must pay.

”Alright, now all we can do is wait. As for Guan Shan’s decision, don’t interfere; let him be.” Elder Wu said.

The assistant naturally did not want Guan Shan to join the Lingxiao Pavilion, but he could not defy Elder Wu’s orders and had to let the situation unfold.

”Putting all the chips on Su Changfeng, and abandoning Guan Shan, the proud son of heaven. Elder Wu, have you really thought this through?” The assistant sighed deeply.

Not only the assistant, but all the members of Shangyun Pavilion were puzzled by Elder Wu’s decision, even secretly harboring some discontent.

The heads of Shangyun Pavilion’s four branches gathered to discuss how to retain Guan Shan.

”Elder Wu’s decision this time is truly foolish! Guan Shan has been frequently meeting with Yin Lulu during this period. Is he really not planning to intervene?”

”Guan Shan is a master carefully cultivated by Shangyun Pavilion. Are we really going to let him be taken by Lingxiao Pavilion so effortlessly? It seems Elder Wu is ignoring this matter. If we don’t do something now, it will truly be the end for us.”

”I’ve already sent people to investigate Su Changfeng. He does have some skills, but compared to Guan Shan, there’s still quite a gap. It’s truly unwise to abandon Guan Shan for Su Changfeng!”

”I’ve already contacted Guan Shan; he’ll be here shortly. If we face him, perhaps he might be willing to grant us some face.”

Before long, Guan Shan arrived. Due to his special status, even when meeting these individuals, he need not be submissive.

Moreover, Guan Shan currently harbors great resentment against Shangyun Pavilion. Once Yin Zhengyuan speaks, he will immediately abandon Shangyun Pavilion and join Lingxiao Pavilion. Hence, he is unlikely to show any goodwill towards these people.

”You all set up such a big scene and summoned me. I wonder what this means?” Guan Shan spoke lightly, with a tone of proud indifference.

”Guan Shan, you’ve been meeting frequently with Yin Lulu lately. Let’s be direct. Are you planning to join Lingxiao Pavilion? You are a master carefully cultivated by Shangyun Pavilion, and naturally, we don’t want you to leave. We are here to retain you; just name your conditions.”

Upon hearing this, a trace of mockery flickered in Guan Shan’s eyes, but he was quite satisfied internally. He hadn’t expected that his intention to join Lingxiao Pavilion would prompt these individuals to personally try and retain him. From this perspective, he was indeed important to Shangyun Pavilion.

Such treatment is not something just anyone gets.

However, even with this, will he change his mind?

Naturally not, with Su Changfeng at Shangyun Pavilion, he absolutely won’t stay.

”I refuse to co-exist with a useless person at Shangyun Pavilion. If you want me to stay, it’s simple; just expel Su Changfeng from Tuo Shi.” Guan Shan said unceremoniously.

Expel Su Changfeng from Tuo Shi?

The expressions of several heads changed instantly. Elder Wu accepting a disciple was already well known; under such circumstances, how could they possibly expel Su Changfeng from Tuo Shi?

If they actually did that, wouldn’t it be clearly slapping Elder Wu in the face? At that point, Shangyun Pavilion would definitely be ridiculed by Lingxiao Pavilion.

”Guan Shan, Shangyun Pavilion has cultivated you for years. Without Shangyun Pavilion, how would you have reached today? Is this your choice?”

”Indeed, Shangyun Pavilion has cultivated you and bestowed a great favor. Are you truly going to betray Shangyun Pavilion?”

”Great favor?” Guan Shan looked over with cold eyes, expressionless, and said, ”The reason I am who I am today is because of my talent. Even in Lingxiao Pavilion, I would have the same capabilities; what does it have to do with Shangyun Pavilion?”

”Even the best talent requires post-natal nurturing; otherwise, it’s all in vain. Without Shangyun Pavilion, would you have developed as you have?”

Guan Shan was indeed someone carefully nurtured by Shangyun Pavilion. They spared no effort in cultivating him; over the years, how much effort have they put in for this?

But now, with a few words, Guan Shan denied their efforts and dedication, having no gratitude and even believing solely in his talent, which is utterly ridiculous.

”Since you all consider post-natal nurturing so important, then it should be easy for you to cultivate another like me, right? I see Su Changfeng is quite good; he’s even Elder Wu’s disciple.” Guan Shan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, several heads didn’t know what to say, as they naturally didn’t see any value in cultivating Su Changfeng.

”I’ve made myself very clear; I have just one condition. Unless Su Changfeng leaves Tuo Shi, there’s no room for negotiation.”

With these words, Guan Shan left. With his strength and talent, he could be anywhere; there’s no need to stay and compromise.

The heads all wore dejected expressions. Elder Wu personally brought Su Changfeng back; naturally, he wouldn’t slap his own face by sending him away!

”It seems there’s no room for maneuvering in this matter now. It benefits that old fool, Yin Zhengyuan. The master carefully cultivated at Shangyun Pavilion is just gone like that.”

”Ah, indeed, Shangyun Pavilion is bound to suffer a heavy blow. If Shangyun Pavilion does get oppressed by Lingxiao Pavilion, Elder Wu will be the sinner.”

”Do you think Su Changfeng might actually perform a miracle? Make everyone reevaluate?”

Upon hearing this, the remaining three people all let out bitter smiles.

Miracle? Hehe...

Perhaps there might be a miracle, but this person definitely won’t be Su Changfeng.

”You’re truly too naive; Su Changfeng is just a newcomer. Do you really think he can create any miracles?”

”Women are truly naive, always dreaming. Everyone knows it’s impossible.”
