Wu Chen is confronted by Shangguan Sichen, who requests Wu Chen to deal with a teenager named Su Changfeng. Wu Chen is skeptical, believing the child cannot be a threat or meet the standards of the organization Shangguan Sichen implies he is linked to. However, Shangguan Sichen insists the teenager's performance at a recent competition was astonishing.

But Wu Chen felt that the reason this matter was being blown up so wildly was definitely because some families were deliberately trying to push it to a certain height.

That guy Su Changfeng might look like he’s nothing special, but in reality it’s very possible he’s just someone controlled by a few major families.

"The families in this place have always had their own conflicts. Now that this matter is being spread so noisily, it’s very obvious that some big families are doing it on purpose."

"Because the current Martial Arts Competition is no longer the same as before, and having someone put on a performance like this in front of everyone is a very simple thing now!" Wu Chen said.

"Of course I know this matter might be like that. That’s exactly why I called you over." Shangguan Sichen looked at Wu Chen and said, "I brought you here because I want you to help me see whether this person’s strength is real or fake."

Wu Chen really couldn’t understand this at all. Shangguan Sichen actually had no need to take things this far.

After all, if he really wanted to verify this, he could totally use other methods. Why did he have to insist on getting him involved?

Naturally, there were some things Wu Chen knew nothing about—that Su Changfeng knew some things Su Changfeng logically shouldn’t know at all—and it was exactly because of that that Shangguan Sichen was doing this.

Take the Shangguan Family, for instance; normally, Su Changfeng shouldn’t even know they existed. Yet not only did Su Changfeng know about them, he was even very clear on the details of their family.

Exactly because of this, Shangguan Sichen harbored such wariness toward Su Changfeng.

Not to mention that right now Su Changfeng also seemed to know him very well, clearly aware of what Shangguan Sichen had always been pursuing in his heart.

Therefore Shangguan Sichen had no choice but to treat Su Changfeng with even more caution.

Shaking his head, Wu Chen said, "All right, I don’t really care why you called me here. Anyway, once this matter is settled, I won’t owe you anything anymore."

Since he was already here, there was no point dwelling on it. In any case, once this whole thing was over, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Shangguan Sichen nodded and said, "You really don’t need to worry about this. Once it’s completely resolved, I definitely won’t bother you again."

After Wu Chen finished talking with Shangguan Sichen, he left directly.

After Wu Chen left, Zhao Chang’an also came into the room. Shangguan Sichen’s expression looked rather gloomy at this moment.

"Wu Chen does seem to know a lot, but he kept lying to me before, saying he didn’t know anything at all. Now I’ve caught him out."

Shangguan Sichen had always been extremely obsessed with the Tuo Shi organization; he had even paid a great deal of effort and price for this.

As long as it had anything to do with Tuo Shi, Shangguan Sichen would definitely try every possible way to get all the information.

Now, even though Wu Chen had known these things beforehand, he had never told Shangguan Sichen. Shangguan Sichen was not just going to let him go so easily.

Even though Shangguan Sichen had told Wu Chen that once this matter was completely resolved he wouldn’t bother him again, that was not what he really thought inside.

Zhao Chang’an looked at Shangguan Sichen and said, "So what’s the plan next?"

"If it doesn’t work out, once this match is over, we’ll just lock Wu Chen up!" Shangguan Sichen said in a deep voice.

"But what about Wu Chen’s disciple?" Zhao Chang’an asked.

"Do I really have to spell everything out for you on how to deal with this? Just have that kid take care of it for me, isn’t that enough?!" Shangguan Sichen said irritably.

"Understood!"

After going out, Wu Chen had a very bad feeling, as if something unpleasant was going to happen.

But as for all this, Wang Tianhu naturally knew nothing; he only kept hoping his master would take him around here to play and eat.

Wu Chen kept feeling that something about this whole matter was faintly wrong. What exactly was Shangguan Sichen trying to do?

Thinking of this gave Wu Chen a headache. In the past he’d really disliked having any dealings with people like them.

After all, if you slipped up even a little, you might get dragged down by them. That was why in the end Wu Chen had simply gone off to live in the mountains.

He recalled what Shangguan Sichen had said earlier about that Su Changfeng—how could a teenager already be one of Tuo Shi’s people?

How was that possible?

Wu Chen naturally didn’t believe that. There had to be other things he didn’t know, but Shangguan Sichen just hadn’t said them.

So after thinking it over again and again, Wu Chen looked at Wang Tianhu and said, "Listen carefully: if anything happens, you leave this place immediately, got it?"

Wu Chen looked at Wang Tianhu. He didn’t know whether this matter would be properly resolved, but he felt it was necessary to make things clear to Wang Tianhu.

Although Wang Tianhu didn’t understand why Wu Chen would say this, he still nodded obediently after hearing it.

On the other side.

Su Changfeng was very calm about this match, since Wu Chen was simply not his opponent now.

So what the outcome of this match would be was already very clear to him.

But when it came to Wang Tianhu, Su Changfeng was actually quite looking forward to it.

Because before all this, Su Changfeng and Wang Tianhu had always been brothers to each other. Even though now Su Changfeng had been reborn, and Wang Tianhu no longer had any impression of him at all.

In Su Changfeng’s eyes, Wang Tianhu was still his brother.

You could say that after being reborn, Wang Tianhu was the second person that was truly special to Su Changfeng.

At night, Su Changfeng still couldn’t get to sleep. He kept thinking about what the scene would be like when he saw Wang Tianhu this time.

He remembered the first time he saw Wang Tianhu back then; Wang Tianhu was like an idiot, having no idea what anything in the city was.

He figured this time Wang Tianhu coming here would be just the same. Thinking of that, Su Changfeng couldn’t help finding it funny inside.

Thinking of Wang Tianhu, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but think of his other brothers as well; they were all people who were extremely important to him.
