"Let's fight! Let's fight!"
The others in the training ground were also eager for a good show, hoping that the fight on the stage would turn into a bloody mess, especially since Zuan had been smugly cheering on his wife. These people had been holding back their anger for a long time.
Chu Zhongtian frowned, thinking to himself that Zu An was really in a difficult position. In fact, they had instructed him to do this in order to make the inferior team fight against the superior team. Unfortunately, others did not know this and could not explain it, so he had to bear all of this alone.
He sighed inwardly; he couldn't really let him take the risk. He said, "We accept this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zu'an hurriedly interrupted him: "Father-in-law, there's no need to admit defeat, just let me go on stage."
Chu Zhongtian was stunned, never expecting him to dare to go on stage under these circumstances. Qin Wanru, however, had a fiery temper and glared at him first: "Why are you going on stage? Don't you know your own limitations? What time is it, and you still can't get rid of your bad habits!"
Chu Zhongtian also said, "That's right. Yuan Wendong hates you to the bone now. It's too dangerous for you to go up there."
Chu Chuyan also came to Zu An's side: "I know you want to do something for the Chu family, but now is not the time to act impulsively. Yuan Wendong is obviously going to take this opportunity to retaliate against you on the stage. Wouldn't you be playing right into his hands if you went up there now? Don't take those rumors to heart. We all know the contributions you have made to the Chu family."
“Yes, brother-in-law, it’s too dangerous for you to go up there at this time.” Even Chu Huanzhao, who was lying down, opened his eyes and said weakly.
Zu An squatted down beside her: "Originally, it didn't matter whether I participated or not, but the Yuan family went too far and attacked so viciously, injuring you so badly. They have to be taught a lesson."
Hong Xingying, standing to the side, rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that this guy's brain was completely fried; even at a time like this, he was still spouting nonsense. Of course, knowing what had happened before, he wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out and question the other party now.
When Chu Huanzhao heard him say that, her face turned slightly red. She glanced at her mother secretly and hurriedly said, "I know you want to help me, but you can't even beat me. If you go up there, you'll only get taught a lesson."
Zaun smiled slightly: "Have you forgotten that I was fine after you hit me with seven Howling Whip last time? I'm not as weak as you think."
Qin Wanru couldn't stand it anymore: "Alright, alright, men shouldn't make promises they can't keep."
What kind of time is this to try and deceive my daughter? I warned Xiao Zhao before, but she still got so close to this guy.
Zu An didn't bother to look at her and said directly to Chu Zhongtian, "Father-in-law, let me give it a try. The worst outcome is just losing, and the Chu family is going to lose today anyway."
Chu Zhongtian frowned and said, "We're not worried about losing, but about the danger you might face later."
Zu An shook his head: "In public, the Yuan family wouldn't dare to kill anyone. At worst, they'd just take the opportunity to break my arms and legs. If that happens, our Chu family will have a reason to make trouble, and we can talk about market share then."
Chu Zhongtian was taken aback, not expecting that this was his plan. If he was deliberately attacked by the Yuan family on the stage, coupled with Xiao Zhao's injury earlier, the Chu family would indeed have an excuse, and would have room to maneuver regarding whether or not to give up market share, and how to do so.
Even Qin Wanru was taken aback. She had always thought that her son-in-law was incompetent and loved to boast, and she disliked him quite a bit. But she didn't expect that his insistence on going on stage this time was actually to sacrifice himself to gain the initiative at the negotiating table for the Chu family. For a moment, she couldn't help but regret whether she had been too harsh on him earlier.
The Chu family's Yue Shan and others were also filled with admiration, and their impression of him changed drastically. Knowing that it was impossible, yet still doing it, the son-in-law was truly a hero.
Only Hong Xingying sneered inwardly. This guy had no skills, but he was good at talking and managed to come up with such a good reason.
At this moment, Chu Chuyan still shook her head: "In the past, this would not have been impossible, but now Yuan Wendong hates you to the bone. I'm afraid it's not just about seriously injuring you. He may be planning to take the opportunity to completely cripple you."
Zuan spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "I'm already useless enough, how much more useless can I be?"
Chu Chuyan was taken aback. She thought that he had no talent for cultivation, so whether he was useless or not made no difference. Besides, he also... Thinking of what happened that night, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
"Have you finished discussing this for half a day? Zu, are you even a man? Are you trying to back out at the last minute? If you want to back out, fine, but admit you're not a man in front of everyone and publicly apologize to me. Then I'll be magnanimous and reluctantly forgive your previous offense." Yuan Wendong's lazy voice came, sounding impatient.
"You're so eager to be humiliated by me, how can I not grant your wish?" Taking advantage of the Chu family's momentary daze, Zu An leaped onto the arena.
"Well done!" Yuan Wendong's eyes lit up. Afraid that the Chu family would back out, he instantly flew onto the stage, his posture far more elegant and graceful than his opponent's. "Want to slap me in the face? Come on, hit me! Hit me!"
As he was speaking, there was a sudden, sharp crack, and his head started buzzing. He didn't react for a long time.
Zuan looked at his hands, shook his head and sighed, "I've never heard of such a shameless request in my life. I have no choice but to reluctantly grant your wish."
