“Uh…” Qin Chen was taken aback upon hearing this.
Damn, this Ancient Emperor Senior doesn’t fall for tricks at all?
He immediately forced a wry smile and shook his head, saying, “Ancient Emperor Senior, why do you say such things? With your strength, can you really be a pawn? And as for what you mentioned about being one family, that must refer to my cheap old man, right? Sigh, you know, I haven't even seen a glimpse of my cheap old man. You can't possibly pin this on me, can you?”
“Moreover, Ancient Emperor Senior, your actions in the Underworld are based on an agreement with the Underworld Deity. You can’t blame it all on my old man, right?”
Qin Chen hurriedly spoke, looking pitiful.
“Hahaha, Qin Chen, my young friend, aren’t you a bit ashamed for saying that?”
The Ancient Emperor stared at Qin Chen in disbelief, then turned to Sisi, “Your beloved is the daughter of the Underworld Deity. This means the Underworld Deity is your father-in-law. You can’t just acknowledge your own father and disregard your father-in-law, can you?”
Qin Chen: “…”
He was completely stunned, looking at Sisi. This… actually seems to make some sense.
Sisi is his beloved, and the Underworld Deity is Sisi's father, which means they are indeed part of the same family.
Damn, this Ancient Emperor Senior is quite cunning; he managed to turn this around!
Qin Chen's mind was racing, and he quickly said, “Senior, you can’t say it like that. You see, your cooperation with the Underworld Deity… uh, that old gentleman, was also for the purpose of reviving your subordinates. Now that your subordinates have been revived, you’ve certainly gained quite a bit. How can you say you are a pawn…”
“Hehe.” The Ancient Emperor looked at Qin Chen with a teasing smile, “If that’s the case, young friend Qin Chen, then the benefits you’ve obtained cannot be surpassed by anyone.”
“Just think about it, what was your cultivation level before you went to the Underworld? And what is it now? And that’s just one aspect.”
“Secondly, the Underworld has been completely cleared. Your beloved is the daughter of the Underworld Deity, and now that the Deity is not in the Underworld, the entire Underworld is controlled by you and your beloved. Gaining such a huge benefit, compared to this emperor, you probably have gained even more!”
The Ancient Emperor said with a smile.
Qin Chen: “…”
This Ancient Emperor Senior is really impossible to reason with.
Is he really not going to listen to me?
Forget it, if I keep dragging this on, it probably won’t lead to any results. With that thought, Qin Chen’s gaze shifted to the chains on the Ancient Emperor, “Ancient Emperor Senior, you once said that to break this chain, I needed to completely master the power of divine thunder within me. I wonder if you still need me to remove your restraints now?”
Qin Chen asked with an air of ‘curiosity’.
The Ancient Emperor: “…”
He was instantly stunned.
What does this kid mean by that? Damn, that’s simply a naked threat.
People have become ungrateful!
The Ancient Emperor forced a smile, “Ahem, I wonder what young friend Qin Chen wants to know by coming to me? This emperor will surely be forthright.”
Only then did Qin Chen reveal a satisfied smile. If he had just said so earlier, it would have been fine.
Qin Chen said, “It’s still about my father…”
The Ancient Emperor quickly shook his head, “Young friend Qin Chen, it’s not that I don't want to say, but concerning that person, I…”
Qin Chen frowned, “Senior, I won’t make things difficult for you. I have already stepped into the great emperor realm. Can’t you at least tell me a little?”
The Ancient Emperor pondered for a moment and sighed, “Young friend Qin Chen, it’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you, but this matter involves cause and effect. With your cultivation level, you should also know that the great paths of heaven and earth operate on the principle of cause and effect. Some things, once spoken, may inadvertently disrupt future possibilities and cause great impacts.”
