Meng Chen grinned and said, "Father-in-law, you asked me to come here. What do you want to do? Just tell me directly."

Cui Dongsheng narrowed his eyes and looked at him, staring into his eyes. What Meng Chen was least afraid of was staring blankly. If all else failed, he could open his double pupils. Then, with four eyeballs, he would not be able to lose.

After a long while, Cui Dongsheng finally gave in and retracted his gaze: "My daughter is determined to follow you. Let me ask you one question now, are you the little emperor's man?"

Meng Chen's face was full of confusion: "Father-in-law, how could you link me to the little emperor? I have never met her, and there are no outsiders here. I will tell you the truth! I am actually a cultivator from the Lower Realm, and I have not been in the East Phoenix Realm for long."

Upon hearing that Meng Chen was a cultivator from the lower realm, Cui Dongsheng's expression changed slightly. Those who could come to the upper three realms from the lower realms were all extremely talented. This Meng Chen... It seemed that he had underestimated him.

The key is that my daughter likes it! Even if she is locked up, she will not give in. In the end, I will probably still obey my daughter. After all, I only have this one daughter.

Now all the young talents of the Zheng family have died in the Xuntian Secret Realm. What's more, the Zheng family actually dared to drug their own daughter. That fate is their own fault. Anyway, marriage is impossible.

"Well, since you are not the little emperor's man, just pretend you didn't hear what you heard that day! Don't reveal a single word!"

Meng Chen quickly cupped his hands: "Father-in-law, I know."

Although this guy kept calling him father-in-law, Meng Chen always felt that he had bad intentions.

"That's enough! Whether or not we can get the approval of our Cui family is still to be determined! It's too early to call him father-in-law!

"Since you are not the young emperor's man, you can stay in this mansion for the time being! We plan to write a joint letter to ask His Majesty to hold another competition outside to determine the rankings of the East Phoenix Territory Touring Arena Competition, and then redistribute the treasures and opportunities."

Meng Chen looked at Cui Dongsheng's smug look and couldn't help but remind him, "Father-in-law! Didn't Xuanyu tell you that there are Zhou Chao, Hui Kong, and Huang Wujin who can fight four people alone?"

Cui Dongsheng rolled his eyes at Meng Chen and said, "Of course I know. They are indeed very strong, but we, the four great families, are not pushovers! They have masters, and so do we!"

"Call it out and let me see." Meng Chen asked doubtfully.

Cui Dongsheng frowned and said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you pry into the secrets of a noble family? Go back! I need to rest."

Meng Chen was secretly proud in his heart. Although Old Deng had a bad temper, he was still tolerant. And although he did not directly recognize him, he believed that it was almost the same.

Meng Chen turned around and met the gaze of the commander of the guards who brought him here. The latter lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at Meng Chen.

"Big brother, please lead the way."

The guard leader was awakened and said hurriedly, "Okay, sir, please follow me."

There's nothing I can do. I didn't know the master's attitude before, so I was disrespectful.

Seeing that he can talk so much with the head of the family, it is probably only a matter of time before he gets the Cui family's approval. He can't be so rude as before.

Meng Chen followed him for a distance, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Cui Dongsheng who was sitting on the recliner.

"Lao Deng, you didn't lock up Cui Xuanyu, did you?"

Cui Dongsheng spat out the tea he had drunk with a "pu" sound. He was extremely surprised that Meng Chen would ask this question and felt a little guilty.

Meng Chen understood that Xuan Yu was really locked up...

His eyes darkened and a low pressure emanated from his body.

Seeing this, Cui Dongsheng said unhappily: "Come on, that's my daughter, would I hurt her? Those are not things you should care about. What you should think about now is how to get the recognition of my Cui family! Do you understand?"

Meng Chen showed a smile on his face, but he was secretly contemptuous in his heart. What the hell was he talking about how to get the Cui family's approval? It was just to trick him into working for the Cui family for free!
It would be enough for her to have Xuan Yu's approval, but she didn't want to be controlled by the entire Cui family because of Xuan Yu and be driven like a cow or a horse.

"I understand." Meng Chen left, and the yard fell silent again.

Cui Dongsheng looked up at the sky, his eyes full of melancholy. He had already investigated Meng Chen's background, and he was indeed not from the East Phoenix Territory. He seemed to have crossed over from the Nine Skies Territory, and he seemed to have attracted the attention of the royal family of the Immortal Dynasty as soon as he came here. He should not be a simple person.

"My daughter! I can't see through this man, and I don't know whether your choice is right or wrong! But don't worry, I will help you to identify it!"

He sighed a few words and then began his easy and comfortable life again.

On the other side, Meng Chen came to the room prepared for him by the Cui family. The room was not small and had a small yard, so he was not treated unfairly.

Of course, it was not to the level of a distinguished guest and not much attention was paid.

Meng Chen was actually too lazy to get involved in the affairs of the aristocratic families and the royal family now. His cheap father-in-law should be aware of his performance in the Xuntian Secret Realm. He said he wanted to test him and kept him here. Most likely, he wanted him to become the representative of the Cui family to participate in the competition.

The more Meng Chen thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Damn it, he really wanted to work for free.

At night, Meng Chen ran away and planned to leave the imperial capital directly. Anyway, Cui Xuanyu was not here, so there was nothing for him to linger.

Meng Chen left the Cui family and planned to leave the imperial city.

However, as soon as he flew into the air, he instantly felt several gazes staring at him, and the cultivation levels of the people were extremely terrifying, so he froze immediately.

The management of Donghuang City at night is so strict! He was targeted even though he was in mid-air.

Seeing this, Meng Chen could only land and return to the room.

It seems that escaping at night is not feasible, and I can only leave during the day.

Meng Chen, adhering to the principle of making the best of things, simply lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up. In the dim light, Meng Chen found that there was a person sitting beside his bed. In the dark night, he was like a shadow.

"Fuck!"

Meng Chen cried out in surprise, suddenly turned over and jumped up, two beams of golden light burst out from his pupils, and he stared at the woman in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?"

He had killed many residual souls and was not afraid of ghosts at all. However, it was really scary when he woke up at night and saw someone sitting at the head of the bed.

Through his double pupils, Meng Chen also knew the identity of the person who came, it was Huang Wujin, and he was immediately furious.

"What the hell are you doing! You're wearing red clothes and sitting on the head of my bed in the middle of the night. What on earth do you want to do?"

Huang Wujin frowned, his face full of disbelief.

"How dare you scold me!" She looked aggrieved.

Meng Chen's face was dark: "You sat on my bedside late at night, shouldn't I scold you?"

Huang Wujin was silent and stared at Meng Chen blankly.

Meng Chen sat up, rubbed his brows, and asked unhappily: "What do you want to do? Why did you come to me? Tell me now!"
