The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1145: Chapter 1144: Made a Laughingstock

”If you don’t behave, believe it or not, I’ll kill all your relatives in the mortal world and torment them mercilessly,” Yin Lulu said viciously.

The person turned his head, his expression grim as he spoke, ”Yin Lulu, you dare!”

”Hmph, do you think I’m afraid? I’m the daughter of the Lingxiao Pavilion’s Squad Leader. If I want to do something, there’s no way you can stop me. Tuo Shi members can only leave Tuo Shi once a year; what can you do to me?” Yin Lulu said smugly.

The man panted heavily, his gaze icy as he looked at Yin Lulu. He never expected Yin Lulu to be so despicable, but he knew that if Yin Lulu said it, she would naturally do it.

She wasn’t wrong; she was the daughter of the Lingxiao Pavilion’s Squad Leader. With such an identity, what couldn’t she accomplish?

”But, if I really kill Su Changfeng, I’ll die too,” the man said.

”Accidents during the competition are fairly common. You can rest assured, I’ll represent Lingxiao Pavilion to protect you,” Yin Lulu said.

”Do you promise?” The man looked at Yin Lulu with suspicion.

”When I, Yin Lulu, speak, I naturally follow through. Besides, this matter was instigated by me. If I don’t step forward to protect you, you might as well sell me out,” Yin Lulu said.

The man hesitated for a moment, finally gritting his teeth and said, ”Alright, I agree.”

Since he had leverage, he believed Yin Lulu wouldn’t deceive him. If she failed to protect him, he wouldn’t let Yin Lulu off either; they’d go down together if necessary.

”Can you really make this look like an accident?” After the man left, Guan Shan looked at Yin Lulu with confusion, knowing full well that the excuse of an accidental death seemed rather flimsy. As an Earth Level expert, how could he accidentally kill someone while testing a Tuo Shi newcomer?

”During tomorrow’s competition, arrange for someone adept with hidden weapons. Once he kills Su Changfeng, he won’t survive either,” Yin Lulu said.

Guan Shan was incredulous; he’d never imagined Yin Lulu could harbor such vicious intentions, not only wanting to kill Su Changfeng but also planning not to spare that person.

The most venomous is a woman’s heart; he thoroughly understood the meaning of this phrase, looking at Yin Lulu’s beautiful features, a chill arose in Guan Shan’s heart. Would this woman someday treat him the same way?

”By doing this, you’re taking a risk. If this blows up, Shangyun Pavilion and Lingxiao Pavilion will unite to investigate,” Guan Shan couldn’t help but remind.

This plan was indeed ruthless but riddled with flaws. A small misstep could lead to a catastrophic downfall, involving so many people just to deal with one Su Changfeng. It was hard to guarantee that chaos wouldn’t ensue.

”Since I’m daring to do this, I have ways to handle it. Your job is to follow orders unconditionally; the rest isn’t your concern,” Yin Lulu said.

Guan Shan’s expression became unsightly. Ways to handle it? Her?

If it really drew the attention of Shangyun Pavilion and Lingxiao Pavilion, even as Yin Zhengyuan’s daughter, Yin Lulu couldn’t escape entirely.

That thought made Guan Shan’s expression change drastically. He stared at Yin Lulu, asking, ”Yin Lulu, are you planning to make me your scapegoat?”

”How could that be? You’re overthinking it. We’re in this together,” Yin Lulu said with an attractive smile.

A woman’s heart is as unpredictable as a needle at the bottom of the sea; the prettier the face, the less it can be trusted, especially someone as sinister as Yin Lulu.

Guan Shan naturally didn’t want to become a pawn in her hands. She never saw him as an ally but as a disposable pawn.

”Yin Lulu, I won’t be part of this any longer,” Guan Shan said through gritted teeth.

Yin Lulu’s gaze turned cold, her voice chilling, ”Guan Shan, do you think you have another choice? Surely you know how Shangyun Pavilion views you now? If my Lingxiao Pavilion doesn’t accept you, you’ll become Shangyun Pavilion’s laughingstock. Then, where will your face as the proud son of heaven be?”

Recently, Guan Shan had been frequently communicating with Lingxiao Pavilion, an undeniable fact seen by everyone, and it’s already rumored that he’s ready to betray Shangyun Pavilion to join Lingxiao Pavilion.

Given today’s circumstances, Guan Shan really didn’t have another choice. Even if he wanted to return to Shangyun Pavilion, he’d likely become everyone’s laughingstock, seen as the worthless reject from Lingxiao Pavilion.

He’s always been revered as a proud son of heaven and certainly didn’t want to be ridiculed by others.

Noticing Guan Shan’s hesitation, Yin Lulu’s eyes flashed with disdain; as a man, how could he succeed by being so hesitant and indecisive? Isn’t a proud son of heaven supposed to have greater courage?

”Guan Shan, look at yourself! Where’s the pride of a proud son of heaven? Seems I’ve overestimated you. If you insist on backing out, then leave now. Rest assured, I won’t stop you!” Yin Lulu said.

Guan Shan knew Yin Lulu was provoking him, yet he indeed had no better options. If he really backed out, he’d lose the chance to join Lingxiao Pavilion. Given Yin Zhengyuan’s indulgence towards Yin Lulu, if she wasn’t willing, Yin Zhengyuan couldn’t do much.

Going back to Shangyun Pavilion means becoming everyone’s laughingstock?

When he planned to betray Shangyun Pavilion, he already had no other choice. Someone as proud as him couldn’t possibly endure such humiliation.

”I’ll go find someone skilled with hidden weapons now,” Guan Shan said.

Yin Lulu laughed; she wasn’t surprised by this outcome at all. Guan Shan was so proud, having been chased by Tuo Shi members for so many years. Self-esteem and face were things he couldn’t abandon. He wouldn’t let himself become everyone’s laughingstock if there was a shred of chance.

”Don’t worry, after this matter is resolved, you can join Lingxiao Pavilion,” Yin Lulu promised with a smile.

Guan Shan exhaled deeply; for him, joining Lingxiao Pavilion wasn’t important anymore. He only hoped that the plan to kill Su Changfeng would go smoothly; he dared not imagine the consequences if anything went wrong.

Location of the Xuan-level.

Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing were still seriously training for tomorrow’s competition. In fact, it was Chen Qingqing who was training earnestly; as for Su Changfeng, he was just standing aside, lost in his thoughts.

Given his current physical condition, there’s no need to worry about tomorrow’s competition; he has enough power to win.

”Chang Feng, be extra careful during today’s competition,” Yang Junming came over and reminded Su Changfeng.

”Hasn’t Guan Shan given up yet? This is already Tuo Shi; is he really so bold?” Su Changfeng said with some surprise.
