My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen's expression was as calm as water, as if what Wang Chongshan said had nothing to do with him.

He gently picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. The mellow aroma of the wine spread on the tip of his tongue. He said slowly, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me. I know my limits. I also know a thing or two about Shen Huo. If he really dares to provoke me, I will let him know how powerful I am."

After saying this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting, but made people feel the powerful deterrent power contained in it.

Wang Chongshan nodded slightly, and continued, "Shen Huo dares to be so arrogant and reckless, just relying on the support of some forces behind him. In this world, without a strong backing, one's actions are always restricted. If Mr. Xiao had a family with a deep foundation and strong strength to support him, Shen Huo would not dare to act rashly against you even if he had the courage of a bear and a leopard."

At this point, Wang Chongshan intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the words "family support", his eyes revealed a hint of expectation, and he stared closely at Xiao Chen's reaction.

Xiao Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he instantly understood the implicit meaning of Wang Chongshan's words.

Judging from the hidden meaning, Wang Chongshan is intentionally trying to get me to join his gang.

He pondered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "What does Mr. Wang mean?"

He deliberately pretended to be puzzled, wanting to see how Wang Chongshan would explain further.

Wang Chongshan was delighted to see Xiao Chen's reaction. The light in his eyes became more and more eager. He leaned forward slightly and said impatiently, "Mr. Xiao, I will speak frankly.

I sincerely hope that Mr. Xiao can join my Wang family. With Mr. Xiao's astonishing strength, once he joins the Wang family, he will immediately become a family worshiper and enjoy the supreme respect status, and he will be on an equal footing with an old man like me in the future."

At this point, he paused and observed Xiao Chen's expression. Seeing that Xiao Chen did not show any rejection, he continued to describe the bright prospects after joining:

"My Wang family has been practicing elixirs for thousands of years, and our foundation is extremely deep. After Mr. Xiao joins us, the Wang family will do its best to supply all kinds of elixirs needed for cultivation, and there will definitely be no shortage.

Moreover, the family will not have too many strict restrictions on offerings. Mr. Xiao can act freely on weekdays. As long as Mr. Xiao can remember the family friendship and help when the family encounters a major life-and-death crisis, that will be enough. "

Wang Chongshan's face flushed and he was very excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene of the family moving towards glory after Xiao Chen joined the Wang family.

Wang Chongshan spoke all his words in one breath, his face flushed with excitement, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with ardent expectation, staring at Xiao Chen without blinking, and said:
"I know that this sudden request may be a little awkward for Mr. Xiao, but I am really afraid of missing out on a top talent like Mr. Xiao who only comes once in a century. If Mr. Xiao has no interest in joining the family, then you can just pretend that I didn't say anything.

But if you have such an idea, please give priority to my Wang family. If Mr. Xiao has any other requests, no matter how big or small, please let me know. My Wang family will do our best to satisfy you in every possible way! "

When he said this, Wang Chongshan unconsciously clenched his hands together, as if this would give him a glimmer of hope that Xiao Chen would join. It must be said that the series of invitation conditions that Wang Chongshan carefully threw out were like a fatal temptation and extremely attractive to most warriors.

In this cruel and competitive martial arts path, talent is certainly the key factor in determining whether a martial artist can go far. However, the importance of training resources should not be underestimated, and can even be said to be indispensable.

This is just like in the business world, if you stand on the cusp of wealth, even an ordinary person may become rich overnight by relying on that favorable wind.

Similarly, for warriors, massive and high-quality training resources are like a constant source of powerful power that can propel their strength forward like a rocket and achieve a qualitative leap.

However, things are unpredictable. For someone as unique and powerful as Xiao Chen, the conditions that Wang Chongshan thought were extremely tempting were simply like passing clouds and had no practical significance.

In Xiao Chen's eyes, the so-called resources owned by the Wang family were nothing more than ordinary things, and he didn't even look down on them.

What's more, he has many difficult and important matters to deal with at the moment, each of which is related to the direction of the situation in the martial arts world. How can he have the extra leisure and energy to serve others, obey the orders of the family, and serve the family like a lackey?

Xiao Chen still had that gentle and calm smile on his face. He picked up the wine glass slowly, his posture was straight, and he said in a clear and loud voice: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for thinking so highly of me and showing me favor. But to be honest, I have always been a casual person. I usually act according to my own interest and will, and I am used to being unrestrained. So, for the time being, I will not consider joining the Wang family."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation or wavering, and his words revealed an irrefutable determination.

When Wang Chongshan heard Xiao Chen's answer, the fiery light in his eyes dimmed instantly, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and a trace of deep loss flashed across his eyes.

However, thinking about it carefully, such a result was actually within his expectations.

After all, this young warrior who looks less than 20 years old but already possesses such astonishing strength has unlimited potential for future development and a bright future.

To let such a gifted child join the family, be bound by the family's many rules and work for the family, any self-aware person would have to think twice before making an invitation.

What's more, Xiao Chen has an extremely close relationship with the God of War Alliance in the martial arts world. Maybe he is one of the core figures of the God of War Alliance. In this case, my invitation may be a bit beyond my ability and I may be overthinking.

Although he was full of disappointment, Wang Chongshan was an old man who had been in the martial arts world for many years. He quickly adjusted his mood, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Since Mr. Xiao has his own ideas, it is also human nature. Come, let's drink. It is also a great honor for me, an old man, to be able to drink and chat with Mr. Xiao today."

After saying this, he raised his glass and drank it all, trying to use this spicy drink to cover up the regret in his heart. (End of this chapter)
