Chapter 440 - 440 Fear

440 Fear

When Shangguan Patriarch heard Dong Xi’s voice, he immediately came back to his senses. Shangguan Patriarch felt a little terrified.

When did this person come? Why did he notice it at all?

Could it be that this Son-In-Law’s cultivation was already above the Soul Formation stage?

Shangguan Patriarch put away his frightened expression and stood up to walk to the door. Shangguan Patriarch said, “So it’s you, Son-In-Law. You didn’t go to see Yun’er?”

“I’ve just met Yun’er. I have something important to discuss with my Father-In-Law,” said Dong Xi.

Shangguan Patriarch’s eyelids suddenly twitched a few times, and he was a little flustered. He said, “Hmm? What is it?”

Dong Xi smiled, but this smile was very fake. Dong Xi made an inviting gesture and said, “Father-In-Law, please sit. We’ll sit and talk. We’re all family…”

Hearing Dong Xi’s words, Shangguan Patriarch panicked even more.

Shangguan Patriarch sat on a chair and said, “Son-In-Law, what is it? Just say it. My heart is not good and I can’t take it…”

Dong Xi had a smile on her face the entire time. She said, “Father-In-Law has a bad heart? Then why don’t I give you a new heart?”

Shangguan Patriarch was stunned for a moment and then said, “That’s not necessary. Let’s get down to business. What do you want?”

“Since Father-In-Law has asked, I won’t hesitate. Do you know about the Sang Luo Secret Realm?” said Dong Xi.

“Sang Luo Secret Realm?” Shangguan Patriarch frowned.

Of course, he had heard of it. Not only had he heard of it, but he had also been there more than a thousand years ago.

“Have you received an invitation?” asked Shangguan Patriarch.

“It’s precisely because I don’t have any, that’s why I came to find Father-In-Law!” Dong Xi shook her head.

Shangguan Patriarch pretended to not understand and said, “Umm… What do you mean?”

“Father-In-Law, do you really not know what I mean?” Dong Xi asked with a smile.

“Do you want an invitation stone or a quota?” Old Master Shangguan frowned.

Dong Xi stood up and walked behind Shangguan Patriarch. She stretched out her hand and massaged Shangguan Patriarch’s shoulders. Dong Xi said, “Two spots are enough.”

“It’s not too difficult,” said Shangguan Patriarch immediately. “Go back and wait for me. I’ll come to you after I’m done.”

Hearing Shangguan Patriarch’s agreement, Dong Xi said again. “I know that such a thing won’t be a problem for Father-In-Law.”

Thinking of this, Shangguan Patriarch suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Something was wrong. Wasn’t the secret realm only accessible to those below the Golden Core stage? Why did Dong Li want two spots?

Could it be that this little thing was not at the Golden Core stage yet?

Bah! You’re quite good at pretending!

Shangguan Patriarch immediately called Little Ya over. Little Ya’s right eye had already been covered. This was the price for disobedience.

Shangguan Patriarch took a sip of tea and said, “Little Ya, I’ll give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you can do it, I’ll return your freedom to you.”

When Little Ya heard this, he raised his head and looked at Shangguan Patriarch.

“This young man is so handsome. It’s a pity that he’s missing an eye,” Shangguan Patriarch sighed.

Little Ya was so angry that his chest felt tight, but he did not dare to say anything. Shangguan Patriarch continued, “Go and kill Dong Li, and I’ll return your freedom.”

When Little Ya heard this, he was stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, “Patriarch, I don’t need my freedom.”

Shangguan Patriarch did not expect Little Ya to say that. Little Ya’s ambition was written all over his face. How could he not want his freedom?

” Dong Li is at most a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator,” said Shangguan Patriarch. “Killing him is effortless. Don’t you dare?”

“Yes, I dare not.” Little Ya nodded honestly. “Patriarch, you don’t know. I’m can’t defeat Dong Li at all.”

“You’re a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet you can’t defeat Dong Li?” Shangguan Patriarch asked in disbelief.

“That kid is a little weird,” Little Ya said truthfully. “I’ve sparred with him before. I can only use 30 percent of my abilities. I’m no match for him at all.”

Seeing that Little Ya refused to attack Dong Li no matter what, Shangguan Patriarch could only curse him a few times and then tell him to get lost.

If Little Ya was not Dong Li’s match, then the people of the Shangguan Residence would not be Dong Li’s match.

This person was so powerful? No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.

However, Shangguan Patriarch could not do anything. If that crane knew, would Shangguan Patriarch still be able to live?

Shangguan Patriarch pondered for a moment, and finally gave up on the idea of killing Dong Xi, and instead, he decided to rope her in.

If he could not beat him, his daughter would bring him to his side. After a few years, she would give birth to a child for Dong Xi. At that time, they would be a family. For the sake of the child, that crane would not make things too difficult for the father and daughter.
