Chapter 465

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

the atmosphere on the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion suddenly froze, becoming incomparably silent.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes.

Huang Yaoshi felt he had been duped—not by Jiang Chen, but by Sikong Changfeng! He regretted having just thought Sikong Changfeng was worth befriending.

As for Jiang Chen,

he was waiting for the system's response!

Because just now, when Huang Yaoshi asked him for the answer to the question, it had already indicated that the other party had failed to clear the pavilion.

Just at this moment,

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully blocking the pavilion challenger, reward..."

Hearing the system's voice, Jiang Chen stood up instantly, not even caring about what the reward was; a brilliantly radiant smile appeared on his face in an instant.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Senior, you must have come for Rong'er, right? I was just thinking you looked a bit familiar. You should have said so earlier! If you had, why would I have even set a question? No, wait... if you wanted to enter the inner city, you could have just told a disciple of Snow Moon City; there was no need to come and challenge this Ascension Pavilion."

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

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Jiang Chen reckoned that if he suddenly heard his own daughter was involved with some man in an unclear relationship, his mood wouldn't be any better; he might even be more volatile than the other party.

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 just thought the other party was a man of talent and appearance?

If he were truly a man of talent and appearance, 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 presume she would have been able to turn danger into safety on her own."

"You certainly have a way with words. No wonder you were able to trick my daughter into your hands."

"Senior, you are truly wronging me here. Heaven and Earth bear witness, Rong'er and I are truly in mutual love!"

"Is that so?"

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 does this Huang Laoxie know so much?

"Hmph!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Huang Yaoshi let out a cold snort, then stood up: "Where is my daughter now?"

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

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

Having said that,

he left without even looking back.

What is this situation?

Jiang Chen stared blankly at Huang Yaoshi, who had disappeared into the stairwell, and remained frozen in place for a moment.

Come to think of it,

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

Although Sikong Changfeng could also be considered a father-in-law, the situation was clearly different from the current one, as he didn't have anyone else by his side when he was with Sikong Qianluo.

Furthermore,

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

However,

it is quite peculiar when you think about it.

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

As for Ye Ruoyi,

Jiang Chen believes Ye Xiaoying must already know about his situation with Ye Ruoyi, and since the other party hasn't come to find him yet, it is clear he has accepted him.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

He saved his daughter's life, his strength is decent, and crucially, the relationship between Snow Moon City and Ye Xiaoying has always been very good.

But soon,

Jiang Chen had no time to think about these things, because someone else had come to challenge the pavilion.

Meanwhile,

after Huang Yaoshi left the Ascension Pavilion and returned to the tavern, he sat down opposite Sikong Changfeng without a word, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and downed it in one gulp.

"Brother Dongxie, what has happened to you?"

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

"Moreover, among those people, it includes our Northern Li State Preceptor and that Confucian Sword Immortal who has read ten thousand scrolls."

Hearing this, Huang Yaoshi felt a bit better in his heart.

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

However,

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

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

Without even needing to think,

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

Huang Yaoshi clearly already knew that the person currently on the ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion was his own junior nephew.

"Brother Dongxie, actually, I only just discovered that my junior nephew had returned."

Sikong Changfeng smiled lightly, then looked at Huang Yaoshi: "Moreover, the reason I didn't tell you immediately after discovering it was because I wanted to see what your first impression of him would be without you knowing that the current pavilion guardian is my junior nephew."

Having said this,

Sikong Changfeng watched Huang Yaoshi quietly.

Hearing this,

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

Seeing Huang Yaoshi's expression,

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