Chapter 901: Shang Yingnian Heads to Longshe Shan

Baihu Cheng.

Shang Clan.

Shang Yingnian was a bit dazed looking at Chen Yuan; this person actually came in person to Baihu Cheng to see him—obviously, it wasn't that simple just to see him, for you know they're all busy, swamped with family development affairs to the point of having no rest, impossible to find time to visit him.

They hadn't seen each other in a long time; after the Heavenly Heart Sect's downfall, both families also gained some benefits, silently digesting them. The families' strength must keep increasing—once an opportunity is found, they must develop immediately, not stopping even for a moment.

This is the Shang Clan's only chance; if they miss it, they will never be able to… rise.

Shang Yingnian cherished this opportunity greatly; others in the Shang Clan did the same, sparing no effort to develop. That's how this world works: if you don't rise, other clans that rise won't let you develop, they'll constantly suppress and restrict you.

Likewise, when the Shang and Chen clans develop, they will greatly shrink the advancement space of other clans, thereby depriving them of the chance to rise.

Survival of the fittest is this world's law of survival.

"How did you come? I never expected you, such a busy person, to come see me in person—how rare." Shang Yingnian couldn't resist teasing a couple of sentences; this person before him is rarely seen, and he naturally knows what's happened in the Chen Clan.

Chen Yuan, harried and exhausted, came to find him—could it be to ask for his help?

At this moment, Shang Yingnian thought of many things, even going over the matter of Chen Yuan's two children.

Chen Yuan sat down and asked directly: "Shang brother, I came this time for Hongchen's matter."

"Hongchen? What happened to her? Isn't she on Longshe Shan?" Shang Yingnian sat up straight and lightly lifted his teacup.

Inside was spiritual tea, a rare spiritual tea of the Shang Clan, not cheap.

Chen Yuan had no mood for tea, staring intently at Shang Yingnian's appearance; he seemed to know everything.

"She's been staying on Longshe Shan; aren't you afraid something might happen?"

Chen Yuan still wanted to probe cautiously, not too directly.

This sentence carries many meanings; Shang Yingnian should be able to understand.

"Something happen?" Shang Yingnian waved his hand: "Impossible. In this world, the safest place is Longshe Shan; if something happens elsewhere, Longshe Shan certainly won't."

"Chuyang will look after her well for me; he won't let her be in danger—you can rest assured on that."

Seeing Chen Yuan's reaction, the person before him didn't grasp his meaning; he glanced around—no one else, just the two of them. Chen Yuan stood up and said directly: "I'm talking about Shang Hongchen and my son Chen Chuyang; are you sure you want to matchmake them?"

Shang Yingnian's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, his eyes blinking.

He looked at Chen Yuan, then slowly set down the teacup.

"Why say that?"

Chen Yuan, helpless, could only tell Shang Yingnian what he knew, plus the news of Hongxue's pregnancy. After hearing it, Shang Yingnian stood up, excited: "You're saying Hongxue is pregnant?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan was about to speak of Shang Hongchen, but Shang Yingnian didn't give him a chance to talk.

He just ran out.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Jiang Luolan came back with him, Jiang Luolan very excited.

Her daughter finally has a child; she's waited for this day a very long time.

Earlier worries—at this moment, all anxiety and pressure have vanished.

"Chen Yuan, you're saying Hongxue is pregnant? Is the news true?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Certain. I just came down from Longshe Shan and rushed straight here—didn't Hongxue tell you this good news?"

"Not yet; I guess this girl forgot." Jiang Luolan has high emotional intelligence.

That answer is flawless.

She looked at Chen Yuan, the excitement quickly fading, and asked seriously: "Chen Yuan, you're saying the matter of Hongchen and Chuyang is true?"

"It's naturally true; Hongxue said it, and also said you all agreed. I'm not feeling incredulous—that's why I came to ask you, Shang brother."

Shang Yingnian said nothing and showed no stance.

Jiang Luolan nodded: "Oh, is that so."

And then, there was nothing after.

They showed no attitude, as if they'd tacitly approved—this reaction left Chen Yuan baffled.

"Shang brother, sister-in-law, you couldn't really have agreed, could you?"

Shang Yingnian looked at his wife Jiang Luolan; she smiled and said nothing.

Neither denying nor admitting.

Their ambiguous attitude made Chen Yuan even more perplexed; the only thing he could be certain of was that this might indeed be true.

Shang Hongchen would very likely become his daughter-in-law; at this moment, Chen Yuan felt a bit envious of his own son.

Women's affinity is truly good—either they don't come, or they come, or they all come together.

Moreover, it's not just one or two.

Looking at himself again, a single Hu Yueer nearly wrecked him; he dare not look, nor dare to think.

Within the Chen Clan, only his son is relatively capable, able to handle Hongxue.

In this regard, Chen Yuan admits he's inferior.

In the end, Chen Yuan also didn't get the answer he wanted and was sent away.

Shang Yingnian and Jiang Luolan immediately rushed toward Longshe Shan; they needed to verify this matter.

On the way.

Shang Yingnian turned to ask his wife Jiang Luolan: "Madam, did Hongxue tell you about this?"

Jiang Luolan stopped, looked at her husband ahead, and nodded: "Mm."

"Hongxue indeed discussed this with me; my opinion is that Hongchen doesn't object, and neither do I."

"And you, husband—did that girl Hongxue not tell you?"

Shang Yingnian nodded: "She did tell me; at first I didn't dare answer, you know how proud and arrogant Hongchen is—how could she agree to share a husband with Hongxue? That boy Chen Chuyang is truly a monster, outstanding in every way; if Hongchen were with him, it would also be a good thing."

"Given Hongchen's nature, letting her stay out there would be dangerous—after all, she's a disciple of the Heavenly Heart Sect."

"In the future, even if Hongchen's ambitions grow large, she'll have someone to protect her completely."

Jiang Luolan looked at her husband, their thoughts were the same; she still thought her husband wouldn't agree.

"I also thought you wouldn't agree, so I didn't dare tell you this."

"Eh?" Shang Yingnian rubbed his head: "I also thought you, Madam, wouldn't agree, so..."

They exchanged a glance and smiled; their thoughts were the same.

This time heading up the mountain, the main goal is to confirm whether this matter has succeeded, and also to confirm whether the daughter is really pregnant.

This is a major matter for the Shang Clan; they are clear about Chen Chuyang's strength and future.

Since their daughter followed Chen Chuyang, her cultivation has skyrocketed, and the Shang Clan has also risen along with her.

As fast-rising as the Chen Clan, the two families have instead become even closer because of this; for this, Shang Yingnian naturally is willing to let his eldest daughter follow that kid, Chuyang—indeed, Chen Chuyang is worth their investment.

Others, they definitely would not agree.
