Su Changfeng ponders his upcoming duel with Wu Chen, feeling confident in his abilities but concerned about a friend's future. He discusses this with Ji Hong, who reassures him. Their conversation then shifts to Gao Yuan, who surprisingly negotiated a hundred million from the Ning Family, leaving Ji Hong worried about the potential negative impact of such sudden wealth on Gao Yuan's character and future.

After Wang Tianhu came down from the mountains and saw everything in the city, he felt incredibly curious, as he had never experienced such things before.

Regarding his foolish disciple, Wu Chen truly felt quite disdainful, even considering whether he should just abandon Wang Tianhu.

After all, if such embarrassing matters were to be spread, wouldn’t it make him a laughingstock?

Wang Tianhu pestered endlessly here, but seeing Wu Chen remain unresponsive made him curious: "Master, why aren’t you talking to me?"

Wu Chen felt helpless; if he had known this, he shouldn’t have brought Wang Tianhu to the mountains so early.

So, seeing his disciple asking questions, he began to provide Wang Tianhu with some answers to his queries.

Zhao Chang’an brought Wu Chen and Wang Tianhu to the hotel where Shangguan Sichen was staying.

Even though Wu Chen and Shangguan Sichen were considered friends, Shangguan Sichen’s personal influence, Ji Hong, was still quite formidable, thus Wu Chen felt somewhat worried upon seeing Shangguan Sichen.

After all, if Shangguan Sichen wanted, he could even stir up the world’s economy!

Upon arriving here.

Wang Tianhu waiting outside, while Wu Chen went inside the room.

Seeing Shangguan Sichen, Wu Chen, looking quite exasperated, said: "I’m really surprised, I thought it’d take some effort for you to find me."

"It seems that all this time, you’ve been watching my every move; otherwise, you wouldn’t easily know where I am."

"You promised me that if necessary, you’d agree to a condition, so of course I pay close attention to you."

Shangguan Sichen, appearing quite nonchalant, stated: "If I don’t keep tabs on your actions, how would I find you if I need you for something?"

Wu Chen sighed: "But I think finding someone skilled to keep by your side wouldn’t be difficult for you."

"So what exactly is it you need me to do? Can’t others do it?"

"Having you do this will just cancel out the promise you made to me, so you’re unwilling now?" Shangguan Sichen shook his head and said.

"Alright, now tell me, the identity and background of the person you need me to deal with."

Wu Chen seemed disinterested in dragging the matter further, understanding that this fell within his previous promise.

Thus, Shangguan finding him for this matter was entirely reasonable, hence Wu Chen decided to directly address the issue.

Once it’s resolved swiftly, he can promptly take his disciple and leave.

"The person’s name is Su Changfeng, just a teenager." Shangguan Sichen said looking at Wu Chen.

"What?!"

Wu Chen was genuinely shocked upon hearing this; it’s just a child?

Shangguan Sichen found him only to deal with a child, what’s this about?

"Are you messing with me? For such a child, you could easily find someone else to handle it, why not me?" Wu Chen asked perplexed.

"I understand, in your view, this teenager wouldn’t be any threat, but once you hear my words, you might have a different attitude."

He smiled and said.

"Oh?" Wu Chen looked at Shangguan Sichen confused.

"This person seems linked to Tuo Shi, and supposedly he’s an important figure in the organization." Shangguan Sichen said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen promptly said: "This sounds impossible."

"Just a child, why would Tuo Shi want such a child?"

"Moreover, you should be aware of the criteria for joining the organization, can this child meet such standards?"

Shangguan Sichen wasn’t surprised by Wu Chen’s reactions, instead, he smiled and said: "But what if the child really is?"

"There’s no ’what if’. I can tell you right now, those words were lies."

Wu Chen said, already knowing much about Tuo Shi, hence he understood the conditions necessary for membership.

Su Changfeng is just a child, even if talented, can’t meet Tuo Shi’s standards.

"Wu Chen, you mentioned before you knew little about this organization, just snippets, but you seem to know quite a lot now." Shangguan Sichen’s eyes suddenly turned chilly.

Wu Chen felt a chill, Shangguan Sichen had been searching for information about the organization’s location.

Wu Chen indeed knew a lot about the organization but always kept it secret before, yet now exposed a flaw.

"I disclosed everything I knew about the organization to you previously, but am certain this guy is deceitful?"

"Of course, because it’s only a teenager, you understand the power this organization represents."

"So you think such a young teenager can truly join the organization?" Wu Chen said calmly.

"Whether this teenager’s words are true or false, I don’t know, but one thing is sure: his performance at the Martial Arts Competition was truly astonishing." Wu Chen said.

These issues, even when arriving here, Wu Chen heard about Su Changfeng from Zhao Chang’an.
