The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Mr. Xiao, are you really planning to go to Cliffside?”

Yan Nan Tian was stunned.

Given his status, he shouldn’t be showing such expression.

But there was no way around it. Xiao Shun’s move, knowingly heading to the tiger’s den, was truly unexpected.

Cliffside was heavily guarded now, under the leadership of Master Nie Juchong, with over a hundred people, including more than twenty formidable Old School Society Seniors, and the rest were no ordinary individuals.

With such a line-up, they could easily sweep through an Old School Society in a city, especially with the Talisman Master Nie Juchong leading the charge. Apart from the “Warhold” of the Zhang family, no one could resist.

Wow, those were formidable practitioners of the “Anterior” tier!

At this thought, Yan Nan Tian couldn’t help but glance at the confident Xiao Shun in front of him. Although he knew Xiao Shun was undoubtedly an “Anterior” too, how could he win such an unbalanced war alone?

This guy was really too arrogant.

Yan Nan Tian thought to himself.

I originally planned to inform him about the current situation at Cliffside to do him a favor, to let him leave early. But now, this kid is downright reckless?

With those thoughts in mind, Yan Nan Tian was at a loss for words for a moment.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Seeing him silent for a while, Xiao Shun thought he was considering the risk of leaking information and insisted.

“Mr. Yan, you can speak freely. No matter what the outcome of my journey is, no one will know about the topics we discussed tonight.”

*Gulp!*

Swallowing hard, Yan Nan Tian truly believed that Xiao Shun was serious and not joking with him. He really intended to challenge Master Nie Juchong at Cliffside.

Thinking about this, he didn’t dwell on it further and simply said, “Ning Zhiyuan and his disciples have joined Mr. Xiao’s command, and since Mr. Xiao appeared in Eastbrook, he must be aware of the situation at the Hanging Flask Inn!”

Xiao Shun nodded without affirming, waiting for Yan Nan Tian to continue.

“The Old School Society has attached great importance to the Hanging Flask Inn a long time ago, dispatching a large number of troops to gather at Cliffside. Upon hearing of Mr. Xiao’s forceful presence in Eastbrook, the Old School Society even mobilized over ten Seniors. Currently, Cliffside is heavily guarded!”

Here, Yan Nan Tian paused slightly, then continued solemnly, “Apart from Master Nie Juchong, over twenty Senior figures and more than eighty top talents from the Old School Society are stationed there!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun chuckled, “Haha, they really think highly of me!”

Yan Nan Tian wholeheartedly agreed with his words. The Old School Society had never considered anyone like this before. After all, such a lineup would be more than enough to overthrow a hidden sect.

“Tell me their exact positions,” Xiao Shun replied.

Looking deeply into his eyes, Yan Nan Tian was struck by shock.

“Cliffside is an isolated mountain, and due to the extensive coverage of primitive vegetation, only a small path on the east side leads to the summit.”

“After searching for some time, Master Nie Juchong confirmed the location of the Hanging Flask Inn at the mountain’s peak. Upon your arrival in Eastbrook, he has taken sole charge of it, while the remaining forces are distributed on the mountainside and foot of the mountain…”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but interrupt with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, the foot of the mountain should be held by those over eighty Old School Society experts, and the mountainside should be guarded by the twenty-plus Seniors, right?”

After saying that, he looked mischievously at Yan Nan Tian sitting opposite him.

Yan Nan Tian nodded, saying, “Yes, Master Nie’s intentions are clear. If you want to meet him, you have to fight your way up from the foot of the mountain.”

“Haha…”

Xiao Shun laughed heartily.

The laughter echoed in the villa’s living room, stirring Yan Nan Tian’s heart with excitement.

After a while, the laughter abruptly stopped, and Xiao Shun looked at the puzzled Yan Nan Tian with a serious expression, “I wonder where you will be then?”

At this point, Yan Nan Tian naturally had no need to hide.

“I and the others who will come to watch will be in the bamboo forest below Cliffside, quietly observing.”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled lightly, “Good.”

His intentions were clear. He was clearly aiming to determine the future allegiance of Eastbrook’s practitioners through this battle.

If Xiao Shun lost, everything would return to the way it was before. But if he won, Eastbrook would undergo a drastic change!

The conversation between the two lasted until midnight.

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Xiao Shun naturally didn’t linger any longer and intended to wake Cao Wanqing to return to the hotel together.

After nudging her a few times, he found her unresponsive.

“Ah!”

Sighing helplessly, he slung the unconscious Cao Wanqing over his shoulder, bid farewell to Yan Nan Tian, and watched them leave.

Watching them leave, Yan Nan Tian fell into contemplation, his gaze flickering from time to time, as if undergoing some intense internal struggle.

He really wanted to inform Master Nie Juchong about Xiao Shun’s plan to invade Cliffside tomorrow, to help the Old School Society prepare for it.

But reason didn’t allow him to do so.

After all, he also harbored a hidden expectation for Xiao Shun’s performance tomorrow!

The policies of the Old School Society in the Eastbrook City were more relaxed than Northleap, but they were still quite limited.

In recent years, Yan Nan Tian had received fewer and fewer resources for cultivation from the Old School Society. Although everything was still within a manageable range, if things were to continue like this, it would be a matter of time before he would be in deep trouble.

During his conversation with Xiao Shun just now, he had shown great interest in the New School Society “Pellet Pavilion.”

Yan Nan Tian was deeply moved by the innovative system of exchanging points for cultivation resources. After all, this management method was far better than the Old School Society’s one-size-fits-all approach.

Resources may be limited, but they still required a minimum of fairness, something the Old School Society sorely lacked.

*Ring… Ring…*

Just as Yan Nan Tian was lost in thought, his phone rang unexpectedly, interrupting his reverie.

Taking a look, he felt a wave of anger.

Pressing the answer button, he roared, “If you dare to tell me about causing trouble again, I’ll break your legs!”

“Dad, did… did Xiao… Xiao Shun leave?”

Yan Jisheng’s timid voice came through the phone.

Seeing that his son was inquiring about Xiao Shun again, Yan Nan Tian’s anger trembled through his body.

He warned, “I’m warning you, if you provoke Mr. Xiao again, I’ll take care of you before he does!”

“I… I wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for you again. Before, you didn’t know about Xiao Shun, could you please tell me if he left?” Yan Jisheng asked sincerely.

“He left, why do you need to find him?” Yan Nan Tian asked suspiciously.

On the other end of the phone, Yan Jisheng sounded lost, saying, “This is bad!”
