Chapter 151 Wife and children as shackles, even heroes bow their heads
"People only know one side of the story. If you take just one Tianxiang Doukou (a type of cardamom), it will solidify the injury and preserve the last chance of life for the person who took it."
"When the Iron-Blooded Marquis gave Miss Suxin one, it saved her life,
But they were unable to revive her, leaving her a living dead, half-alive and half-dead!
"In order to preserve Miss Suxin's body from decay, the Iron-Blooded Marquis specially froze her in a mysterious corner."
And all these years, she has been constantly searching, trying to find a second Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, or some other way to heal Su Xin's heart!
"This is only the second one? What about the effect of the third one?"
Gu Santong instantly spotted the blind spot in the words; as everyone knows, when talking to intelligent people...
Don't listen to what he says to you, but rather listen to what he doesn't say to you.
"Senior Gu is indeed wise."
Dan Tianxie smiled, pointed to Cheng Shifei beside him, and said something seemingly casually.
"It's only because Xiao Fei is now like a brother to us; otherwise, I really wouldn't tell just anyone."
"Hmm."
Gu Santong gave a few perfunctory replies, his only thought now being to get Shan Tianxie to continue, and he didn't even care about the sect his adopted son had joined.
But logically speaking, it makes sense if this kid really is his son.
With such a grandmaster as his backer, he was not only unrestrained in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, but also someone no one dared to provoke.
Sects and factions are completely unimportant!
Cheng Shifei, standing to the side, couldn't help but groan inwardly. This cheap old man didn't seem very reliable; all he wanted to know was about his wife.
What does that mean? Does it mean the parents are true love, and you were just an accident?
Then he looked at Shan Tianxie with a mournful expression. "Young Master, this isn't the kind of story we were talking about. Didn't you say that Dad would pick him up and kiss and nibble on him?"
Dan Tianxie completely ignored Cheng Shifei's gaze and was about to get to the point!
"What even the Iron-Blooded Marquis didn't know was that the second Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom could only sustain the user's life for a year."
If the third pill is not taken within a year, the person will die instantly!
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Santong frowned. He couldn't help but feel worried, given his understanding of the old pig.
Highly skilled in martial arts, deeply cunning, and ruthless in his methods!
This kind of person is extremely terrifying no matter what they do; they will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of Tianxiang Doukou.
However, this is something that should be done by oneself. It is only right to save one's own wife. Why should you, you old pig, have the right to do so?
Over the decades, he has regretted countless times at night that he did not cherish the sincere feelings that were placed in front of him.
If he hadn't been so obsessed with martial arts, how could that bastard, Old Pig, have taken advantage of him?
But now that fate has given him a chance to make amends, he is determined to save his wife with his own strength.
Then he would tell her, "I love you." If he had to put a time limit on this love, he hoped it would be ten thousand years!
Upon realizing this, Gu Santong could no longer control himself. He suddenly stood up and walked back and forth barefoot on the ground.
"Boy, who exactly are you?! What brings you here?"
After much deliberation, Gu Santong decided to be direct. His smile vanished; he absolutely refused to believe the young master before him.
She risked so much to come to the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison just to deliver her adopted son to him and to tell herself that Su Xin was not dead!
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Gu Santong, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"I want you, Gu Santong, to work for me for a year!"
"Ok?"
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Gu Santong's eyes. He assumed that Shan Tianxie was only after his world-renowned Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
But I didn’t expect Shan Tianxie to have such a big appetite, actually wanting Gu Santong to obey him directly!
Although it was only a short year.
However, the information Dan Tianxie had just provided was so shocking that he did not take immediate action.
Instead, he asked with a smile, "What makes you think you can get a grandmaster to risk his life for you?"
If Shan Tianxie gives even one wrong answer, Gu Santong will teach him a lesson about what it means to be a Grandmaster!
"On what grounds?" Shan Tianxie smiled slightly upon hearing this, pointing at Cheng Shifei standing to the side.
"With your son working for me now, I know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fragrance Beans your wife needs, and the power behind me is enough to ensure your family enjoys a comfortable retirement. You won't lose out by working for me for a year, will you?"
"You know the whereabouts of the remaining two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamoms?!"
Gu Santong asked excitedly, but as soon as he said it, he realized that his question was a bit silly.
After all, it's already very clear that Shan Tianxie is after him, and his preparations are foolproof. His wife and son are in someone else's hands.
"That's right, I can even give you one after one of them is taken out. As for the remaining one..."
With the strength of our Bliss Valley, we should have news of their whereabouts within six months.
Dan Tianxie said confidently, "Given the whereabouts of the two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamoms and the fact that my only son is still in my hands, Gu Santong should know what to choose."
However, the reason for saying that only one location is known is to prevent Gu Santong from turning against them. What kind of good person could someone who can be called an invincible troublemaker be?
As for why it was only mentioned that Gu Santong was to serve for a year, it's because as long as Cheng Shifei was in his hands later on, and as long as Su Xin was saved,
Given Su Xin's personality, once she is saved, she will definitely try her best to make up for the maternal love that Cheng Shifei has owed her over the years.
Then a simple formula naturally emerges: grasping right and wrong = grasping pure heart = grasping ancient three passages.
He believed that Gu Santong would make the right choice.
Gu Santong pondered for a long time, looking Cheng Shifei over and over, and sighed deeply. "Even heroes bow their heads when their wives and children are shackles."
Even he, who was known as the most evil person in the world, had to make a choice against his conscience when faced with the safety of his wife and children.
After a long pause, Gu Santong made a decision in a hoarse voice.
"Alright! I agree!" Gu Santong shook his head, clearing other thoughts from his mind, and then continued.
"If you can help me find the remaining two Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom pods, I'll be at your beck and call for a year without a second thought! However..."
At this point, Gu Santong paused, then gave a cold laugh, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
"If I find out you're lying to me, you'll know why people call me the greatest demon in the world!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie remained calm and unconcerned.
"Oh, look at what you're saying. It makes it sound like I'm coercing you to do something. If word gets out, people will laugh at our family."
Then he turned to Cheng Shifei, who was standing to the side, and said, "What are you standing there for, Xiao Fei? Come and untie your father!"
"Hey! Okay!" Cheng Shifei finally came to his senses.
Looking at the dumbfounded Cheng Shifei in front of him, Gu Santong couldn't help but rub his forehead and smile bitterly. Is this karma?
The child I had seems to be a bit dim-witted because I lied to so many people!
