My Ares Son-in-Law

"The Oracle Sect had indeed just lost face in front of everyone and became a laughing stock, but with Shen Huo's clever manipulation, it seemed like they had struggled to regain some face from the quagmire. The most unexpected thing was that they were actually going to cooperate with the East City Group.

In this case, the ones who should be worried now are their allies who did not help them before. It's interesting to think about it. The situation in the martial arts world is likely to change again."

A thin, cunning middle-aged man, with excitement flashing in his eyes, spoke with a beaming expression on his face while gently nudging his companion with his elbow, as if he was secretly excited about the upcoming changes in the martial arts world.

"That's right. So, sincerity is always the ultimate skill. In this world of intrigue and deception, sometimes, being honest and repaying kindness can reap unexpected results. Of course, if you add in the powerful strength and extraordinary wisdom of Xiao Chen, it will be even more powerful and you will be able to succeed in everything."

A young girl with a high ponytail and sparkling eyes full of longing and yearning, looked in Xiao Chen's direction as she spoke, her eyes full of admiration.

Zhao Chuanshen and others stood not far away, taking in the whole scene, and were filled with emotion. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing excitement and joy that could not be concealed.

Being able to follow someone like Xiao Chen, they know very well that their future must be full of infinite possibilities and will definitely be bright.

The courage, wisdom and strong strength that Xiao Chen displayed when facing the challenges posed by the Oracle Sect made them firmly believe that by following Xiao Chen, they would be able to carve out a world of their own in this ever-changing world.

At this moment, their determination to follow Xiao Chen became even stronger, as if they had found a guiding light in their lives, and they couldn't wait to embark on the journey full of hope and challenges.

Xiao Chen stood there quietly, listening to the endless praises from the people around him. The corners of his mouth slightly raised in a slightly sarcastic sneer.

These people really think too highly of him. He thought to himself, if his current strength was not far superior to Shen Huo's, and he did not have the absolute upper hand, how could he act like this?

If the situation were reversed and he were in a weaker position, facing such a strong and arrogant opponent like Shen Huo, he would definitely not be merciful and would definitely do some shady things during Shen Huo's treatment.

After all, in this cruel world where the strong prey on the weak, if you don't know how to protect yourself and just talk about morality, you are undoubtedly pushing yourself to a dead end.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Xiao Chen felt the surging power in his body and was full of confidence.

He knew very well that with his current strength, if he really wanted to kill the other party, it would be a piece of cake. He only needed to move his fingers lightly to end Shen Huo's life as easily as crushing an ant. There was no need to use those despicable and contemptible means.

It was because of this confidence that he was able to treat Shen Huo with openness and honesty. Of course, no one else knew about this. In the eyes of others, his actions undoubtedly demonstrated his greatness and nobleness, which was so admirable.

Even Shen Huo, who was full of resentment and intent on revenge just now, couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Chen.

Shen Huo secretly sighed in his heart. The young man in front of him, at such a young age, had such a profound cultivation and powerful strength. What was even more rare was that he could still maintain such an uprightness when he had an absolute advantage. He was indeed different and impressive. In fact, thinking about it carefully, there was no deep hatred between him and Shen Huo. Tracing back, the source of the conflict was that he had just wasted Shen Lingling's cultivation in anger, and then made Shen Huo kneel in public in anger, which damaged the reputation of the Oracle Sect.

But in Xiao Chen's opinion, these grudges are not unresolvable.

After all, he really saved Shen Huo's life and pulled Shen Huo back from the brink of death. This kindness was not false, but a real and tangible life-saving grace.

As long as Shen Huo knows what's good for him and stops pestering him, he is not a petty person and is willing to put aside his prejudices and turn hostility into friendship.

Shen Huo stood in the crowd, the voices of those around him constantly filling his ears. He lowered his head slightly, a hint of barely perceptible nervousness and expectation flashing in his eyes.

At first, his heart was like a taut bowstring, fearing that everyone would keep harping on him kneeling before Xiao Chen, after all, this was a great humiliation for him. But as he listened, his brows gradually relaxed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he felt a little relieved.

It seemed that his series of decisive and clever responses had successfully diverted people's attention, and everyone seemed to have gradually forgotten the embarrassing scene of him kneeling in public.

Even in the discussion among the crowd, his kneeling was interpreted as a sign of flexibility. Shen Huo thought to himself, this is undoubtedly a good thing, a crisis was unexpectedly transformed into an opportunity to reshape his image.

Once this person's mood improved, his mentality also changed dramatically. Originally, his heart was filled with hatred, and he only thought about how to take revenge on Xiao Chen and get back the humiliation he suffered today a thousand times.

But at this moment, the resentment towards Xiao Chen gradually dissipated like smoke, and was replaced by a burning anger directed at the person who poisoned him in secret.

His eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's, his teeth clenched, and he secretly swore in his heart that if he could find out who was so bold as to poison him, the Supreme Elder of the Oracle Sect, he would make that person wish he could neither live nor die, and make him taste the feeling of being worse than death.

Thinking of this, Shen Huo seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned his head abruptly and looked straight at Xiao Chen.

There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in his eyes, and his tone unconsciously became hurried: "Doctor Xiao, I wonder where this poison of mine comes from?" As he spoke, he took a small step forward, as if this would bring him closer to the answer.

He hoped that Xiao Chen could give him a clue so that he could follow the clues and find out the guy who was behind the plot and really wanted to kill him.

When Xiao Chen heard Shen Huo's question, he was stunned at first, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

There was a hint of teasing in that smile, and a hint of mystery that made people unpredictable. "We are not close enough to be close friends, right?" Xiao Chen said slowly, his voice clear, every word was clearly heard by Shen Huo.

When Shen Huo heard this, he felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over his head. He stood there in a daze. His face turned pale and red, and he looked extremely embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
