Shangguan Sichen confronted Su Changfeng, threatening him with his grandfather's life. Su Changfeng, however, remained unfazed and offered Shangguan Sichen two choices: death or revealing his motives regarding Tuo Shi. Shangguan Sichen proposed that Su Changfeng accompany him to his family clan to see something that would explain everything. Su Changfeng agreed to visit after resolving his current matters, but only if Shangguan Sichen could demonstrate his value.

After all, Su Changfeng now understands their family too well, even knowing exactly where they are.

This couldn’t help but make Shangguan Sichen feel extremely dangerous, as Shangguan Sichen’s identity has always been very mysterious.

But now, facing Su Changfeng, there was a feeling of being stripped bare, making Shangguan Sichen feel particularly threatened.

However, Shangguan Sichen still couldn’t just believe it, as Shangguan Sichen had gone to great lengths to erase all information about their family.

Shangguan Sichen thought that what he had done was seamless, so he looked at Su Changfeng and said again, "But our family has always been a very mysterious existence, how did you know about it?"

Indeed, Su Changfeng admitted that the Shangguan Family was very mysterious. If it weren’t for the fact that Su Changfeng had been there with Shangguan Sichen before, he probably wouldn’t know where this place was at all.

But how could Su Changfeng explain it now? Could he possibly tell Shangguan Sichen that he had visited the Shangguan Family in a past life?

Su Changfeng didn’t want Shangguan Sichen to know that he had been reborn. Even if Shangguan Sichen were willing to believe it, Su Changfeng still didn’t want to let him in on it.

After all, Su Changfeng thought that no one could know about this, except perhaps for her!

"This is just because you are too arrogant, not realizing that in this world, there are actually existences more formidable than your Shangguan Family!"

After saying this, Su Changfeng walked towards Ji Hong in the distance. Knowing that Su Changfeng was going to speak with Shangguan Sichen, Ji Hong did not approach.

Having said what he wanted to say, Su Changfeng decided it was time to leave.

After Su Changfeng left, Shangguan Sichen still hadn’t come to terms with what Su Changfeng had said just now.

Did Su Changfeng really say he was too arrogant?

Their family is the most powerful existence, and even Shangguan Sichen’s status is beyond reach!

Yet, Su Changfeng dared to say this, and ironically, Shangguan Sichen had no way to refute it.

"Family Head?"

Zhao Chang’an approached Shangguan Sichen and spoke, noting Shangguan Sichen’s somewhat stunned expression, and called softly.

Hearing this, Shangguan Sichen snapped back to reality, watching Su Changfeng’s departing figure. Even though Shangguan Sichen didn’t really understand what kind of person Su Changfeng was,

Shangguan Sichen believed that when the time was right, he would surely know everything about Su Changfeng, and even be fully aware of matters concerning Tuo Shi!

On this side, Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng curiously and asked, "What did you just say to that person?"

Even though Ji Hong knew she shouldn’t be privy to so much of this matter, she was just too curious to hold back her question.

"Nothing much, he just invited me to visit the Shangguan Family when I have time." Su Changfeng summarized the matter simply in one sentence.

"How can that be allowed!"

Ji Hong’s expression turned serious upon hearing this.

After all, Ji Hong knew that Shangguan Sichen and Su Changfeng were practically enemies now, and that Shangguan Sichen was not a good person.

Inviting Su Changfeng to his house surely meant setting a trap within the family’s estate, just waiting for Su Changfeng to walk into it.

If Su Changfeng really did go, it probably wouldn’t end well, and he might never return!

"What’s wrong?" Su Changfeng asked in confusion.

Ji Hong frowned at Su Changfeng and said, "You usually seem pretty clever, so why are you so dull about this kind of thing?"

"Why would that guy suddenly invite you to his house for no reason? It’s clearly because he’s already set up a trap there!

"If you really go to their house, it’s like walking into the trap yourself. He’ll definitely kill you."

"Even if he doesn’t kill you, you won’t have a good ending. How can you agree to this?"

After hearing these words, Su Changfeng’s face showed a trace of indifference. After all, in this world, there probably wasn’t anyone capable of setting a trap for him.

Moreover, Su Changfeng didn’t care whether Shangguan Sichen really set a trap. Even if he did, the one who would be in trouble would definitely be Shangguan Sichen, not him. Su Changfeng was confident in that.

So, Su Changfeng smiled at Ji Hong and said, "But do you really think Shangguan Sichen has the guts to do such a thing?"

"Why wouldn’t he have the guts?"

Ji Hong frowned at Su Changfeng, as Su Changfeng had previously explained what kind of existence Shangguan Sichen really was.

This man is the head of the world’s most powerful family!

He could even directly shake the world economy. Would a person like this be concerned about having the guts to do something?

Su Changfeng laughed and said, "Don’t worry, Shangguan Sichen doesn’t have the guts. Because if he really did set a trap for me, in the end, the one in trouble would definitely be him!"

"Shangguan Sichen knows this himself, so I say he simply doesn’t have the nerve to do it."

Seeing Su Changfeng’s confident expression, Ji Hong began to wonder if she was overthinking it.

After all, Su Changfeng’s skills are indeed formidable now; none of the people here could defeat him.

After thinking for a while, Ji Hong looked at Su Changfeng and asked, "But child, why have your skills improved so much recently?"

Even though Su Changfeng had been learning martial arts with that person, he shouldn’t have become this powerful, right?

"Well, it’s because your son is smart. I was always very talented, so it’s only natural to be this skilled now," Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

Such a casual reason wasn’t something Ji Hong could believe so easily, so she looked at Su Changfeng helplessly and said, "Do you think this is a movie?"

"Trying to fool me with just talent? Do you think your mother is a three-year-old child?"
