Chapter 1601 - 1600: Conditions

Shangguan Sichen didn’t care at all about what the old man said, instead, he wore a mocking expression and spoke.

For a moment, the old man’s face looked as though he had swallowed a fly, extremely unpleasant.

He had always thought his skills were quite good; that’s why Yang followed Zhao Chang’an here. But who would have thought Shangguan Sichen would have such a weapon in his hand?

Shangguan Sichen continued, "I understand, everyone is very selfish. You must have come here to get some benefits."

"You don’t need to worry about this. As long as what you do satisfies me, I’ll definitely meet your demands."

These words perfectly captured what the old man was thinking. If it wasn’t for the desire to gain some benefits from Shangguan Sichen, he wouldn’t have followed Zhao Chang’an here.

He never expected Shangguan Sichen would propose such conditions, or even directly meddle with the competition, leading things to this point.

"You need to understand, our competition has certain rules. Now, everyone who wants to participate has already registered. Bringing in someone who hasn’t joined now is breaking the rules, you know?" the old man said with a frown.

"It’s okay. If you don’t tell anyone about this, I doubt anyone else will know. And aren’t you the one in charge of this competition? Do you not have any way to handle such things?" Shangguan Sichen said nonchalantly.

Then he paused, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, and said, "Also, if you don’t obediently do as I say, I think you might lose your life."

Such a blunt threat obviously had some effect.

Now, considering his age and position, he definitely wouldn’t want to be easily killed by someone!

Even if the rules would make the competition participants feel quite resistant, the prospect of preserving one’s life made it somewhat acceptable.

Not to mention, Shangguan Sichen made it very clear that if he did as told, he would receive certain benefits.

So, after hesitating for a while, he looked at Shangguan Sichen and said, "If I agree to your terms, what will I get?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Sichen immediately knew the man had agreed, so he smiled and said, "I can give you fifty million."

Hearing this, the old man was very surprised, as he never expected the person before him could be so wealthy.

So, with a doubtful expression, he said, "Are you being serious?"

"Of course. If you don’t believe it, you can wait until you receive the money before handling this," Shangguan Sichen said calmly. Although such an amount might seem a lot to others, it was nothing to Shangguan Sichen.

Because, in Shangguan Sichen’s eyes, this money was just a number, meaningless to him.

"Fine, let’s do as you say!"

The old man nodded, knowing even if this matter made participants uncomfortable, it was irrelevant.

At the very least, he not only preserved his life but also gained such a large sum of money.

Shangguan Sichen continued, "Tomorrow I’ll arrange for someone. I need you to handle this matter the day after, can you do it?"

"As long as I receive the money, I’ll take care of it at once," the old man said.

"If that’s the case, you can leave now."

After Shangguan Sichen finished speaking, he motioned Zhao Chang’an to escort the person out.

When Zhao Chang’an returned, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes; after all, solving this matter just required a substitute, no need to spend so much money. As a result, Zhao Chang’an was very puzzled by Shangguan Sichen’s actions.

Seeing Zhao Chang’an’s expression, Shangguan Sichen understood what was on his mind, so he smiled and said, "I know you must be very puzzled by this."

"But killing him would waste a lot of time, and I don’t have that much time to stay here."

Not to mention, Shangguan Sichen didn’t care about the money, because in the face of the Shangguan Family’s wealth, it was nothing.

Zhao Chang’an nodded and then asked, "In that case, who do you think would be more appropriate to send?"

"I already have a suitable candidate, who’s already completely in hiding. We’ll just call him when needed," Shangguan Sichen said calmly.

"Is it Wu Chen?"

Zhao Chang’an asked with a frown. Though Wu Chen was very skilled, there was no news of him for a long time, yet Shangguan Sichen surprisingly knew of Wu Chen’s location.

"Yes, it’s Wu Chen. Wu Chen’s skills are very formidable. If Su Changfeng can defeat Wu Chen, then whatever he says must be true."

After saying this, Shangguan Sichen wrote down an address: "Bring Wu Chen to me. If Wu Chen knows I want to see him, he will definitely come!"

"Okay," Zhao Chang’an nodded.

In a remote deep mountain, a few years old child was rigorously practicing martial arts, with an old man sitting beside him.

Even though the child’s body was covered in blood, the old man showed no sign of pity.

"Keep working hard. If you don’t meet my standards, I won’t acknowledge you as my apprentice. When you go out in the future, don’t say you’re a disciple of mine, Wu Chen!" Wu Chen said from the side.

The child’s eyes were red with pain, yet he continued rigorous training.

"Tianhu, I know you must be feeling very tired now, but when you achieve success in the future, you’ll be very grateful to me and understand that everything I’m doing now is for your own good!" Wu Chen said again to Wang Tianhu.

Wang Tianhu didn’t understand why he had to endure such grueling practice in this remote wilderness.
