Moreover, he did not know how to give in to the old man.
"You also saw that I don't like you at all. If there is a chance, I don't mind chasing you away or even letting you disappear." Old Master Shen did not hide his true thoughts.
In his eyes, Xue Chen It's a source of disaster. As long as he was here, Shen Family would never be able to find peace in the future!
Facing Old Master Shen's monologue in his heart, Xue Chen did not care at all. He smiled indifferently and said, " But you do not dare. Besides, you don't have the confidence to do it. "
Old Master Shen took a deep breath and sighed.
Xue Chen was right. He didn't dare to do it. Putting aside Xue Chen's heaven defying combat value, even Martial God behind him made him wary. He didn't dare to touch him!
Furthermore, before Jiang Xuyao left, he had already made things clear. My son married the daughter of the Shen Family, and I, Jiang Xuyao, won't let the Shen Family down.
If he touched Xue Chen, even if Martial God didn't come out of the mountain, Jiang Xuyao was afraid that he would fight the Shen Family to the death!
Xue Chen was his only son. If Jiang Xuyao dared to touch the people of the Bai Family for Xue Chen, it meant that it was only a matter of time before Jiang Xuyao and the Bai Family fell out with each other.
A man who married the daughter of the Bai Family and dared to tear all pretenses of cordiality with her, and even turned his brother-in-law into an idiot, would he care about the Shen Family?
He wouldn't!
Besides, would Shen Baichuan just watch as he attacked Xue Chendong?
Others might not know Shen Baichuan's temper, but as his father, how could he not know?
Therefore, Old Master Shen was completely helpless.
"You're right. I don't dare to touch you." "Even if I don't like you and hate you, I can't touch you."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Old Master Shen did not answer Xue Chen's question. Instead, he talked about the first time he met Xue Chen.
"Do you know? When you came to Shen Family for the first time, Xuening said you were her husband. I just thought he was trying to calm her down, but when Baichuan came out, I vaguely guessed who you were, but I was not very sure. As things developed, my guess was completely confirmed."
"I can't get rid of you, and I can't get rid of you. I can only keep you." "But it's not that simple to get me to keep you."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Tonight, I will announce to everyone in the Shen Family that Baichuan will take over the Shen Family. You will become the most likely person to take over the Shen Family in the third generation after Baichuan."
After Xue Chen heard Old Master Shen's words, a ray of light shot out of his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You want me to be your whetstone?"
If anyone else heard that Old Master Shen wanted him to take over the Shen Family, they would be overjoyed and excited. However, Xue Chen didn't. On the contrary, he became extremely vigilant at this moment.
"You are really smart!"
"If I'm not smart, I'm afraid I will be plotted against by you until I die without a proper burial."
Old Master Shen smiled and did not deny it. "I do not know if you have seen how the Shen Family is now."
"But I can tell you this. Although the Shen Family looks glorious now, in a hundred years, other than Baichuan and Zhenye, I really can't see anyone else in the Shen Family."
"Their superior material lives have made them forget about danger. They don't know what danger is. Now, the beautiful and bright Shen Family has been riddled with holes." Old Master Shen said in a desolate tone.
Back then, the reason he left the capital and didn't establish a family in the capital was because he wanted the Shen Family to continue developing for a long time. However, the juniors of the Shen Family lived in peace and didn't think about danger.
Each and every one of them didn't have the slightest bit of awareness. They always thought that the Shen Family would continue to prosper.
But how could there be a family that would continue to prosper and prosper?
The current generation of the Shen Family was already riddled with holes. By the time they took over the Shen Family, it might even be destroyed by them.
Therefore, Old Master Shen wanted to prepare for the worst, and let Xue Chen be the whetstone to motivate the men of Shen Family.
"Aren't you afraid that my whetstone is too sharp?"
"I'm afraid!" "I'm scared. I'm afraid that my knife will get hurt by your whetstone if it doesn't finish sharpening."
After hearing Old Master Shen's words, Xue Chen's face revealed a complacent smile.
That's right, it was a complacent smile.
Asking Xue Chen to be a whetstone was not an easy task.
"Then you still want me to be a whetstone!"
"But I can't find another suitable candidate." Old Master Shen sighed. "If I had a choice, I would never have chosen you."
"You are too scary, and you are out of control."
Although Old Master Shen had not known Xue Chen for a long time, the short contact was enough for his experienced eyes to see through everything.
"Whetstone, whetstone, interesting!" Xue Chen said lightly, "Aren't you afraid that I will reject you?"
"So what if you refuse?" Old Master Shen said with certainty, "As long as I tell Baichuan to start taking charge of the Shen Family and let him nurture you as the third generation leader of the Shen Family, do you think this is not enough to arouse the courage of the men of the Shen Family?"
"Of course, if they can watch a man with a different surname take charge of the Shen Family, then I won't say anything." Old Master Shen said softly, "At least it would be better than being destroyed by them."
After hearing Old Master Shen's words, Xue Chen let out a heavy breath.
This old man had planned everything. Even if he refused, it would be useless. Besides, as long as a man with a bit of courage knew that a stranger might take over Shen Family, he would not sit still and wait for death. He would make Old Master Shen take back his fame.
But how could Old Master Shen take back what he said?
What he wanted was to arouse the hearts of all the men in the Shen Family.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill them?" Xue Chen licked his lips.
"Xuening will not ignore them." Old Master Shen said confidently, "Even if she hates and hates her brothers and sisters, her surname is Shen. Like them, she has the blood of the Shen family."
"She will care about love. She will not watch you kill them."
The reason Old Master Shen confessed to Xue Chen was because he had planned everything.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Xue Chen asked.
"If I don't tell you, I'm afraid it will backfire," Old Master Shen said. "What I need is a whetstone. The whetstone should know who he is."
"It seems that it is impossible for me to refuse."
"I think so."
[In that case, what can I get by being a whetstone for you?] Xue Chen looked at Old Master Shen and said, "I never do business without money."
"Besides, I don't have to kill someone myself. I don't need to kill them directly. I have many ways to make them die slowly. No one can find out the reason."
"Whatever you want, whatever I can give, I'll give it to you." Old Master Shen was not angry. He knew what Xue Chen said was the truth. "But I can't give you what you want. Don't force me."
"Tell me, what can you give me?"
"I can help you deal with the Bai Family." Old Master Shen raised his head and looked at the blue sky. "Bai Zhongyuan has become a fool. The Bai Family will definitely come back to investigate. I can help you confuse their vision and make them unable to find anything."
"Also, when you want to deal with the Bai Family, I can provide you with all the help you want."
"I don't think I need these things." Xue Chen said calmly, "I think I can do what you said."
"Yes, you can. But you have to know that Xuening can't." Old Master Shen was neither fast nor slow. He seemed very calm. "When you and the Bai Family had a conflict face to face, do you think the Bai Family would not use any other methods?"
"You mean..."
"They will use Xuening to deal with you." Old Master Shen said lightly, "When the time comes, they will not hesitate."
"If you agree to my request, I will let you have no worries."
"You are despicable." Xue Chen looked at Old Master Shen with disgust. "How dare you make a deal with your granddaughter?"
Old Master Shen was not ashamed at all. "Despicable or shameless, you can say whatever you want."
"I promise." Xue Chen said heavily, "But I can't guarantee that I will not kill them."
Xue Chen turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Xue Chen seemed to have thought of something after he had just taken two steps. He said again, "Do you think I really need you to protect Xuening because I promised you?"
"If that is the case, then you are wrong. I, Xue Chen, will protect my own woman and I have absolute confidence. As long as someone dares to touch Xuening, he will regret coming to this world."
"The reason why I promised you to be your whetstone is not because you can help me. It is because you are Shen Xuening's grandfather and my wife's ancestor. Otherwise, based on what you said just now, you are already a dead man now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chen did not even turn his head. He turned around and went forward to look for Shen Xuening!
Looking at Xue Chen's back, Old Master Shen's old body trembled uncontrollably as if he had been electrocuted. His face, which was full of age spots, was also filled with regret at this moment.
At this moment, he realized that he was wrong. He had used the wrong method. He shouldn't have done this. He should have used such a despicable method.
This was a man who didn't eat hard and soft, but was extremely emotional. If he could reason things out and make love, he might have gotten a lot.
But he had already made a mistake. One wrong step, one wrong step at a time. When he looked back again, he was already a hundred years old!
