My Ares Son-in-Law

"Where are your family? I'll take you back!" Xiao Chen asked, his eyes revealing sincere concern.

"No need, my grandpa is here to see me!" The little girl seemed to have noticed something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked outside the door. She saw an old man with a slightly hunched figure but steady and powerful steps walking towards the bamboo house.

The old man looked to be in his sixties. Time had carved deep wrinkles on his face, but it could not hide the wisdom and brilliance in his eyes.

The old man walked to the door of the bamboo house, bowed slightly, clasped his fists towards Xiao Chen, and said gratefully: "Thank you, young man, for finding my granddaughter." Although his voice was a little hoarse, it was full of sincerity and gratitude.

"You're welcome, old man," Xiao Chen responded with a smile, his eyes showing gentleness and humility, "There are many people here, and it's a mixed bag. You'd better protect the little girl, otherwise it will be bad if she is caught by others."

As he spoke, he looked around, as if to remind the old man that there were many dangers hidden in the Valley of Heroes.

"I need no thanks for your kindness. Just consider it as an old man who owes you a favor." The old man smiled heartily, and his smile carried some of the boldness and magnanimity of a man of the world.

Immediately, he reached out his hand, gently took the little girl's hand, and turned away with her. When the little girl left, she did not forget to look back at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of reluctance and gratitude.

Xiao Chen looked at the backs of the old man and the little girl as they left, and he didn't take it too seriously. For him, being able to ruin the Oracle Gate was already very satisfying.

He had always been disgusted by the Oracle Sect's bullying style, and this time he was able to teach them a lesson, which was a relief for him.

However, before Xiao Chen had time to rest, not long after the old man and the little girl left, several people suddenly came to visit. There was a gentle knock on the door, and Xiao Chen frowned slightly, wondering in his heart, who would come to see him at this time? He stood up, walked slowly to the door, and opened the door of the bamboo house.

"Mr. Xiao, you really live here." Jiang Zhenghao, the head of the Jiang family, said with a smile outside the door. Next to him stood his daughter Jiang Yixiu, who was still as beautiful as ever, with a smart and playful look in her eyes.

Behind them, there were a few old men, all of them had strong figures and steady auras. It was obvious at a glance that they were all masters of the Jiang family, and all of them were powerful men in the Dragon Blood Realm.

"You guys are here too!" Xiao Chen was slightly startled, then smiled. It was really a surprise to see Jiang Yixue here.

Recalling the scene of parting with the Jiang family not long ago, it seemed like it was just yesterday. He didn't expect to meet again so soon. There was a hint of surprise in his smile, and at the same time, there was also an expectation for the unknown future. He didn't know what kind of story the Jiang family would bring this time.

Jiang Zhenghao's face was full of enthusiasm. He took a few steps forward, clasped his hands high in the air, leaned forward slightly, and said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, you saved my daughter two days ago, and we haven't had time to thank you properly yet."

His eyes were full of gratitude, and his tone was extremely sincere, "Fortunately we met here, so I can thank you in person."

At this moment, the sun shone on him, reflecting his sincere face, and the air around him seemed to become warmer because of his words. Xiao Chen smiled, shook his head gently, and said in a calm and natural tone: "Xue'er and I are friends. Friends should help each other. It's not a big deal, and you don't have to take it to heart."

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly, looking nonchalant, as if saving Jiang Yixue was just a trivial matter. In his mind, helping a friend in trouble was a matter of course, so why should he thank her so solemnly?

Jiang Zhenghao smiled bitterly when he heard this. He lowered his head slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but recall the earnest expectations of the old people in his family. They were all looking forward to Jiang Yixue marrying into the Oracle Sect to enhance the status of the Jiang family in the martial arts world.

But he himself is more optimistic about Xiao Chen. In his eyes, Xiao Chen is young and promising with extraordinary strength. If he can marry Jiang Yixiu, it would be a match made in heaven.

What a pity, now it seems that, as Xiao Chen said, they are just friends, and marriage is no longer possible. Thinking of this, Jiang Zhenghao sighed softly, feeling helpless.

"Xiao Chen, it's you!" Just as Xiao Chen turned slightly and wanted to chat with Jiang Yixue, a sharp and angry shout suddenly came. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the castrated Shen Yushan standing not far away with a ferocious face.

At this moment, Shen Yushan's face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were burning with rage, and he looked as if he wanted to eat Xiao Chen alive.

Beside him, Jiao Yulang and Sun Huowang still stood like loyal followers, their eyes flickering, with a trace of guilt on their faces, but pretending to be calm. Obviously, they did not take Xiao Chen's previous warning seriously, and dared to stir up trouble here, really not knowing whether to live or die.

When Xiao Chen heard this shout, his originally gentle eyes instantly turned icy cold, like a sharp blade in the cold night.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes like torches, shooting straight at Shen Yushan and others. The cold murderous intent that flashed in his eyes was like a materialized cold light, which made people shudder. In his heart, he had already secretly decided that since these two people were so forgetful, then this Haohan Valley would be their burial place today.

At this moment, Shen Yushan was actually even angrier inside.

He had followed Jiang Yixue secretly, with a dark thought in his mind, wanting to see which man Jiang Yixue was hooking up with. But he never expected that the person he met here was Xiao Chen.

However, at this moment, he was a little afraid, but not particularly scared, because he had the support of the Oracle Gate behind him. He raised his head slightly, with a mocking smile on his face, thinking to himself that with the support of the Oracle Gate today, he would definitely make Xiao Chen look bad.

Shen Yushan raised his head slightly, and the mocking smile on his face became more and more intense, as if venom could drip out of that smile.

He glanced at Xiao Chen, snorted softly, and then shouted loudly: "The Oracle Sect is one of the top ten. In the Eastern Region, they can tremble the ground with just one stomp of their feet! What's more, the Oracle Sect's Grand Elder Shen Huo is here too. With this invincible Tianhe Realm expert here, killing Xiao Chen is as easy as killing an insignificant ant, right?"

At this point, he paused, and the smugness on his face became even stronger, as if he had seen Xiao Chen trembling in front of Shen Huo and kneeling down to beg for mercy. (End of this chapter)
