My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He stood tall and his face was stern but a little indifferent.

"You don't even dare to say it. It seems that the person Wang Chongshan asked me to treat is really weird."

Xiao Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and a glimmer of curiosity flashed in his eyes. "However, this has aroused my interest. By the way, what do you want to see me for? Your illness has been cured, and you don't need me at all."

Xiao Chen said this, folding his hands over his chest and looking at Shen Huo calmly.

Shen Huo smiled, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious because of the smile.

He took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "To be honest with Divine Doctor Xiao, I invited you here this time because I want to form an alliance with you!"

Shen Huo said this, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Alliance?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes full of surprise.

He looked Shen Huo up and down, his tone a little doubtful, "Are you sure? We were enemies before!"

Shen Huo shook his head slowly with a sincere look on his face.

"Strictly speaking, we are not enemies at all. It's just that our conflicts are caused by some coincidences."

As Shen Huo spoke, he gently waved his hands, as if he wanted to dispel the unpleasantness of the past. "Now we have finally made peace. I want to form an alliance with you purely to deal with the Prison Clan!"

Shen Huo said this, clenching his fists, his eyes revealing firm determination.

"Do you have such ambition?" Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly teasing smile.

He looked at Shen Huo with interest, wanting to hear what he would say next.

When Shen Huo heard Xiao Chen's words, his expression became solemn.

He straightened up, a trace of shame in his eyes. "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I have been in a daze for decades. Although I hate the Prison Clan, I never dare to take action. Instead, I am submissive to them."

Shen Huo lowered his head, with a hint of self-blame in his voice, "It's purely out of fear. I think they are invincible."

Shen Huo raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen firmly, with hope in his eyes. "Since I met you, I understand that there really is a nemesis of the Prison Clan in this world. Perhaps you can really help me get revenge and give me a chance to wash away the shame I have suffered for so many years."

"Revenge?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his sword-like eyebrows twisted into a knot, his eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and doubt, staring straight at Shen Huo opposite him, as if he wanted to see through him.

"That's right!" Shen Huo gritted his teeth, making a slight sound as his teeth rubbed against each other, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly with anger.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes full of flames of pain and hatred, his voice trembling but firm, he slowly said: "In fact, I lost my parents when I was six years old. It was a bloody night. The Prison Clan broke into my house like a ghost and brutally killed my parents. My house was in a mess and blood flowed like a river. Fortunately, Enshi saved me and took me to the Oracle Sect to learn martial arts. I thought I could practice peacefully in the Oracle Sect and avenge my parents, but unexpectedly, my master was also killed by the Prison Clan. Today, the Oracle Sect is basically controlled by the Prison Clan from top to bottom. We have become puppets of the Prison Clan. The disciples dare not speak out."

Shen Qiang on the side opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock, his mouth slightly open, and it took him a long time to react. He said anxiously: "Dad, you have never told me such a thing!" His eyes showed both confusion about his father's concealment and anger at the evil deeds of the Prison Clan.

Shen Huo sighed helplessly, with a look of regret in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "With your strength, what's the point of telling you? You will still die in the end. There are many masters in the Prison Clan, and their methods are ruthless. If I tell you, I'm afraid you will act impulsively and lose your life in vain."

Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly mocking smile, and crossed his hands in front of his chest, saying lightly: "How can this be called an alliance? You are just treating me as a tool."

There was a hint of teasing in his eyes, and he wanted to see how Shen Huo would respond.

Shen Huo quickly shook his head, with a sincere smile on his face, and explained eagerly: "You are a master, but you should also need spirit stones. My Oracle Sect has ten spirit stone mines, and those veins are extremely important resources in the sect. A lot of spirit stones are produced every year. If you can help me get revenge, I promise to give you at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones every year. How about it? This is the greatest sincerity I can show."

After hearing this, Xiao Chen's smile widened a little, and he said jokingly: "You are really sincere."

Although he was somewhat tempted by these spirit stones, he appeared to be nonchalant on the surface.

Seeing Xiao Chen's attitude soften, Shen Huo continued, "With my current status, this is the most I can offer. If I become the leader of the Oracle Sect, I will naturally receive more benefits. Unfortunately, I am old and my energy is not as good as before. I don't have the energy to fight for anything. I can only place my hopes on you."

There was a hint of loneliness and helplessness in his eyes.

"Okay, dealing with the Prison Clan is my goal. If you can provide me with the target, how about I help you?" Xiao Chen nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he was ready for battle.

Then he reminded her, "But remember, one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones per year. That's what you said. I didn't force you."

"That's natural!"

Shen Huo nodded heavily, his rough fingers unconsciously stroking the jade pendant on his waist. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the carved window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows on his wrinkled face.

He leaned forward slightly, his posture was humble and almost pious, and even his voice was deliberately lowered a few points: "Dr. Xiao's kindness, our Shen family will never forget it."

"That's okay. I'll be leaving first." Xiao Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, his dark sleeves rustling in the breeze.

When he turned around, the bronze bell hanging around his waist made a clear sound, and every step seemed to be in accordance with some strange rhythm.

Shen Qiang hurried forward to see him off, but Xiao Chen raised his hand to stop him. The young man's slender five fingers left a shadow in the air, and Shen Qiang only felt a soft force holding up his chest, and it was difficult for him to move forward even half a step.

"No need." Xiao Chen had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes swept across the Mercedes-Benz parked in the courtyard. "Your car is too slow, I'll walk by myself."

go?
The teacup in Shen Huo's hand cracked with a crack, and he was unaware that the scalding tea soaked his sleeves.

The father and son looked at each other, both seeing an expression of disbelief in each other's eyes. This place is at least 300 kilometers away from Tianhai City. Even if a martial arts master can travel a thousand miles a day, it would still take...

Before they could finish their thoughts, Xiao Chen suddenly jumped up. (End of this chapter)
