Matrilocal Son-in-law Is Supreme

The half bald old man put down the teacup in his hand and changed the topic: "I am the senior director of Sikong Family, my name is Sikong Ming. Mr. Shen Lang, the higher ups of our Sikong Family highly value the two conditions you put forward, and are also trying to find a way to meet your requirements. Only, the secret technique for the refinement of artifacts is something that has existed for a long time, so even if there is one, it won't affect our Sikong Family and we won't be able to take it out. However, our family has three sets of incomplete scrolls, and we are willing to hand them all over. As for the second condition, it involved too many people. When the clan's upper echelons decided to make a decision, most people disagreed. Our final conclusion is that 50% of Sikong Family will be converted into money, so we can find an evaluation institution to estimate the actual value. We'll pay you back fifty years. Interest is twice as much as bank interest. This is the biggest concession we can make. "    

    

"With these two conditions combined, none of you can do it. Then why do you have the nerve to come over? "We still have several hundred catties of tea leaves." Que De said impatiently, "This is something we can't discuss. If we can't do it, then let Sikong Xuan set the stage and wait for Shen Lang to challenge her. Otherwise, if your Sikong Family is merely a third-rate clan with one Yanhua City and the people in power aren't even clear on their priorities, then it would be a wonder if they could climb up. "    

    

Sikong Ming's face was gloomy, but he did not retort. Although what Que De said was unpleasant to listen to, every word was reasonable.    

    

When the higher ups of Sikong Family met with a decision, Sikong Ming was one of the few who agreed to satisfy all of Shen Lang's conditions.    

    

His reason was very simple. Not only did the complete refining technique of the Sikong Family require an extremely high comprehension ability, there was also an important prerequisite, and that was that the direct bloodline of the Sikong Family was required to activate the technique. Even if it was given to Shen Lang, it would only be a piece of paper, and would not be of any value at all. Separating half of the Sikong Family to Shen Lang was indeed a serious matter, but Shen Lang didn't have any foundation or background in Yanhua Empire, nor did he have a huge team running so many companies. In his hands, this business would only shrink. As long as one's Sikong Family continued to keep watch, they could take back these businesses bit by bit.    

    

Shen Lang had stated these two conditions because he knew that the Sikong Family Clan would not agree to them. This way, he would continue to use his other methods. If the Sikong Family Clan agreed, it would catch Shen Lang off guard, and there would be no place for Shen Lang to use his subsequent schemes and tricks. As long as he let Sikong Xuan and Yao Yuan get engaged and make sure of this marriage, it would not be too late for him to deal with Shen Lang slowly. However, the engagement date set by the Yao Family was only three months away, and Shen Lang's one year agreement with Sikong Xuan was only slightly more than a month away. Changing the time to advance the engagement was also impossible. The Yao Family had long ago announced this matter to the media, and the date to change it would be smacking the people from the Yao Family in the face.    

    

If they couldn't satisfy Shen Lang's conditions, then with Shen Lang's Level 8 of True Rank, Sikong Xuan would have no chance of winning at all. If Sikong Xuan lost, it would be equivalent to Shen Lang ruthlessly slapping everyone on Sikong Family in broad daylight, causing the entire Sikong Family Clan to lose face. because of this, the marriage between Sikong Family and Yao Family would come to an end, and the Sikong Family Clan had lost a chance that was hard to come by in a hundred years, which allowed them to climb upwards.    

    

Furthermore, if the matter of the engagement between Sikong Xuan and Shen Lang were to be exposed, even if Sikong Xuan were to luckily win against Shen Lang, Yao Family Group would still have a high possibility of not accepting Sikong Xuan. After all, Sikong Xuan was someone who was betrothed to someone, so Yao Family could not afford to lose this person.    

    

In short, as long as Shen Lang came to challenge him, victory or defeat was not important. As for the support of a first-rate Yanhua City family, its value was far higher than half of the clan's property and a set of secret techniques used to refine artifacts.    

    

Taking a step back, even if Shen Lang was truly heaven defying, and had mastered the secret technique of refining artifacts, he had also firmly grasped half of the Sikong Family in his hands. But if that was the case, Shen Lang would also be tied to the Sikong Family Clan tightly. Someone with such a powerful strength would also be an important support for Sikong Family.    

    

Using half of the clan's assets and a set of secret techniques to refine spirit artifacts in exchange for a secure marriage alliance with the Yao Family Group, the most advantageous choice for the entire clan was the chance for their position to rise.    

    

However, some short-sighted people in the upper echelons of the family had always thought of at least the price to send Shen Lang away, to pacify him, and to prevent him from disturbing the marriage between Sikong Family and Yao Family. They didn't agree to pass on their family's secret arts to outsiders, nor did they agree to split such a large amount of assets, but they could not come up with a viable solution either. They could only nag at her and argue that it was Sikong Xuan's fault, saying that she should take responsibility and not harm the interests of the rest of the family. Even though they knew Sikong Xuan was the hope of their entire family, they still refused to give up even the slightest bit of interest. Sikong Ming really wanted to kill all of these people.    

    

The three sets of secret techniques and half of the family property were converted into fifty years of money to pay back the debt. It was also Sikong Ming who advanced this idea after taking a step back.    

    

Sikong Ming was also very clear that Shen Lang most likely wouldn't agree to this condition. However, he couldn't control the entire family's thoughts by himself, so he could only try his luck.    

    

"Mr. Shen Lang, how about this? With the conditions I mentioned earlier, we can extend the one year agreement between you and Sikong Xuan for another year. Sikong Xuan has just received the inheritance power of the Sikong Family Ancestral Land and her condition is still unstable. Even if you win, it would be disgraceful. " Sikong Ming said.    

    

"Old mister, if you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price." Shen Lang said calmly.    

    

"Oh, I see." Sikong Ming smiled bitterly. His eyes also dimmed down and he didn't say anything more.    

    

Sikong Wei rolled his eyes, and said: "Shen Lang, have you thought this through clearly? You came to challenge Sikong Xuan, yet you can't get anything, and will also offend our Sikong Family Clan and our Yao Family? This kind of price, is you …"    

    

Before he finished his sentence, Sikong Ming flicked his finger and released a stream of power. He turned into a wind blade and flew into Sikong Wei's mouth, cutting open his tongue.    

    

After a short period of contact, Sikong Ming could already tell that Shen Lang was the type of person who was least willing to be threatened by others. Words that threatened would only make him angrier.
