Chapter 263

As Jiang Chen and Huang Huang Yaoshi called out each other's identities simultaneously,

the atmosphere on the ninth floor of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion suddenly froze and became incomparably silent.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

Huang Huang Yaoshi felt he had been hoodwinked—not by Jiang Chen, but by Brother Sikong Changfeng! He regretted thinking just moments ago that Brother Sikong Changfeng was worth getting to know.

As for Jiang Chen,

he was waiting for the system's response!

Because just now, when Huang Huang Yaoshi asked him for the answer to the question, it already meant the other party had failed to break into the pavilion.

Just at this moment,

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully stopping the break-in, reward..."

Hearing the system's voice, Jiang Chen stood up instantly, not even caring about what the reward was, as an incredibly bright smile appeared on his face.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Jiang Chen chuckled: "Senior must have come for Rong'er. I was just thinking you looked a bit familiar; you should have said so earlier. If you had, why would I be asking questions? No, wait... if you wanted to enter the inner city, you could have just told the Snow Moon City disciples; there was no need to break into this Ascending Heaven Pavilion."

The moment Huang Huang Yaoshi recognized him, Jiang Chen clearly sensed the anger in the other party's eyes!

Thinking about it,

Jiang Chen figured that if he suddenly heard his own daughter was involved with some man, he wouldn't be in a good mood either, and might even be more volatile than the other party.

Huang Huang Yaoshi glanced at Jiang Chen indifferently: "So, you are that Jiang Chen who saved my daughter?"

It was truly hellish;

how could he have thought the other party was a man of talent just a moment ago?

If he were truly a man of talent, could he have done such a thing?

"It can't really be called saving."

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Rong'er is naturally clever; even without me, I'm sure she could have turned danger into safety on her own."

"You certainly have a silver tongue; no wonder you were able to trick my daughter."

"Senior, you truly wrong me. Heaven and Earth are my witnesses, Rong'er and I are truly in mutual love!"

"Is that so?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi sneered: "Then are you also in mutual love with the other women by your side?"

Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Chen's face stiffened instantly.

How did this Eastern Heretic know so much?

"Hmph!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Huang Huang Yaoshi snorted and stood up: "Where is my daughter now?"

"She's in the inner city. Shall I take you there now?"

Huang Huang Yaoshi glanced outside: "No need, I'll go myself."

After saying this,

he left without looking back.

What was this situation?

Jiang Chen stared blankly at Huang Huang Yaoshi, who had disappeared into the stairwell, and stood rooted to the spot for a moment.

Speaking of which,

this was his first time meeting a father-in-law, and it would be impossible not to be nervous.

Although Brother Sikong Changfeng could also be considered a father-in-law, the situation was clearly different; after all, when he was with Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo, there was no one else around him.

Furthermore,

when he first arrived at Snow Moon City, he met Brother Sikong Changfeng before he even knew Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo.

However,

it was quite peculiar.

Apart from Huang Rong, Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo, and Ye Ye Ruoyi, none of the other women around him seemed to have any relatives.

As for Ye Ye Ruoyi,

Jiang Chen believed Ye Ye Xiaoying must already know about his situation with Ye Ye Ruoyi, and the fact that the other party hadn't found him yet clearly meant he approved of him.

Thinking about it,

he had saved the other party's daughter's life, his strength was decent, and crucially, the relationship between Snow Moon City and Ye Ye Xiaoying had always been very good.

But soon,

Jiang Chen didn't have time to think about these things because someone else had come to break into the pavilion.

Meanwhile,

after Huang Huang Yaoshi left the Ascending Heaven Pavilion and returned to the tavern, he sat down opposite Brother Sikong Changfeng, didn't speak to him, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother Eastern Heretic, what's the matter with you?"

Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi with curiosity: "Could it be that you were stumped by the question on the ninth floor? If that's the case, Brother Eastern Heretic, there's no need to be like this. You must know that in the past month, there have been at least eight hundred people who have broken into the pavilion, but only two have succeeded."

"Moreover, these people include the Imperial Preceptor of our Northern Li and that Confucian Sword Immortal who has read ten thousand volumes."

Hearing this, Huang Huang Yaoshi felt a bit better.

Although he didn't feel he was weaker than those two in terms of strength, he really wasn't sure if he was stronger than them in terms of knowledge and experience.

However,

the reason he was unhappy was clearly not because of this.

"Brother Brother Sikong, I treated you with sincerity earlier, but I didn't expect you to deceive me!"

Without even needing to think,

Brother Sikong Changfeng instantly knew what the other party was referring to.

Huang Huang Yaoshi clearly already knew that the person currently on the ninth floor of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was his own nephew-in-law.

"Brother Eastern Heretic, actually, I only just discovered that my nephew-in-law had returned."

Brother Sikong Changfeng smiled lightly and then looked at Huang Huang Yaoshi: "Moreover, the reason I didn't tell you immediately after discovering it was that I wanted to see what your first impression of him would be without knowing that the person guarding the pavilion was my nephew-in-law."

After saying this,

Brother Sikong Changfeng watched Huang Huang Yaoshi quietly.

Hearing this,

Huang Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but take another drink of wine. Although he didn't want to admit it, his first impression of this Jiang Chen was indeed very good.

And seeing Huang Huang Yaoshi's expression,

Brother Sikong Changfeng smiled knowingly and then said: "If you ask me, let's stop worrying about Jiang Chen for now; I'll take you to see Miss Huang first."
