Godly Conceited Son-in-law

It was an antique room, elegant in the atmosphere and dignified in the elegance.    

There was a huge bookcase against the wall, and on it were bound ancient books, some of which were unique solitaries.    

There were a few pieces of bronze from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties that stood out in the center of the cabinet.    

As for the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and Qing enamel antiques, they were just ordinary furnishings.    

The room was richer and more valuable than a museum, but it was a private study.    

On the other side of the wall hung a couplet:    

I am a man. Before I doubt you, I will put down three fires.    

Bold, I will do what I am told, and after I understand my orders, I will ride my horse and break the nine heavens.    

At the bottom of the desk was a white-haired old man holding a brush and practicing calligraphy. While the years had carved their marks on his face, they had also carved his wisdom and calmness. Lying amidst the wrinkles was a pair of eyes that made one dare not look directly at him.    

Except for the young man standing next to him.    

After Guan Yang entered the room, he did not disturb the old man. He just picked up a book and started reading, occasionally glancing at the old man's face or at the words he had written.    

After a long time, the old man put down the pen and slowly said, "Guan Yang, this is the first time we have met. My granduncle master isn't up to the task."    

That's right, this old man was Mystic Nine's junior brother, Guan Yang's senior granduncle.    

Many years ago, after the incident with the Guan Family, he didn't return to the Celestial Sect of Wonders with Mystic Nine. Instead, he entered society alone and planted another hidden pillar for the future of the Guan Family.    

"This is the first time I've seen him." Guan Yang nodded with a somewhat reserved expression. The old man in front of him was not weaker than Xuan Jiu; he didn't dare to act rashly.    

"Don't worry, you're the Patriarch of the Guan Family. My name is Martial Granduncle, and I'm actually the old servant. Even if you pull my beard and play with me, I won't teach you a lesson for being shameless." The old man joked, put down his brush, and smiled at Guan Yang.    

Guan Yang looked at his grizzled beard and really wanted to give it a try.    

"My senior brother and I were close guards of your grandfather at that time. By then, the death of the Guan Family could no longer be reversed, and we wanted to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of your grandfather. Your grandfather ordered us to live at this critical moment in order to protect you for the rest of your life."    

The old man stroked his beard, and as if he was recalling distant memories, he slowly said,    

"When I entered society, I raised an elite team for you. Now that you want to explore the Gate of Life and Death, after you have reached a sufficient level, I will hand over this team that you have meticulously trained for over ten years to you. "No matter how much skill and potential you display, I'll give you as much as I can. If you give too much of it, it'll just be a waste."    

Guan Yang nodded and ignored the test in the old man's eyes.    

He knew that the elders of the Celestial Sect of Wonders were training him. If he was a waste, then there was no hope of reviving the Guan Family, and these old fellows wouldn't have the patience to play with him.    

"There are three choices for this Dao Pass. You can maintain the current state. Normal experts won't be able to hurt you, so you can just be a playboy in peace." Intermediate difficulty, requires you to be at least comparable to the guardian of the Cultivator's Foundation. "As for the higher difficulty …" The old man slowly said. As he spoke, he looked at Guan Yang.    

"Do you even need to choose?" Guan Yang smiled, "Naturally, it is the highest difficulty."    

"Are you sure it's not impulsive? You have to know, once the cultivation starts, you can't ask me to stop halfway. When something happens to you, even I and my senior won't be able to save you. Do you know the price for choosing this difficulty? " The old man was very pleased with Guan Yang's decision, but at the same time, he was also very worried.    

"The price, is death?" Guan Yang indifferently replied, "Since it's called the 'pass of life and death', and it's not close to true death, is there any meaning?"    

The old man sighed and helplessly said, "Your attitude of looking down on life and death is truly admirable, but to be honest, I would rather have you be someone who values your own life." Back then, your grandfather had given us the task of protecting you for the rest of your life. He did not say that he wanted you to revive the Guan Family. I'm sure your grandfather knew that such a burden shouldn't be placed on a child like you. He just wanted you to live a peaceful life. Do you understand this logic? "    

"Safe?" Guan Yang was happy.    

"Martial Granduncle, please tell me how I can be safe." The man who attacked the Guan family all those years ago knew that I was still alive, would he let me go? I don't want them to know that I have to live in seclusion for the rest of my life. "    

Guan Yang's eyes turned cold. "I am living in this world. If I can't even throw away the surname given to me by my ancestors, then wouldn't it be a waste of my life?"    

Hearing Guan Yang's words, the old man was stunned at first, but then he burst out laughing: "Good! Great! Very good! "You are worthy of being Guan Qianyu's grandson, and worthy of being Guan Xionglie's and Di Yanyu's son!"    

With that, the old man's face changed, "Since you've chosen the highest difficulty, I'll tell you the plan first."    

Guan Yang nodded, listening attentively.    

The first step was the most basic physical training, such as body techniques, strength, firearms, and so on. The goal was to increase the strength of Guan Yang's current strength by a level so that he wouldn't die easily, because every step after that was a nine out of ten chance for him.    

Second, a year from now, Guan Yang will be sent to an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean, where he will undergo rigorous survival training with a special forces unit, mainly to develop his team consciousness and leadership skills. After all, although he had carried out many missions before, he had always fought alone.    

And the third step was that Guan Yang would be sent to a mysterious place. In that place, his only mission was to live on.    

After saying all of this, the old man saw that Guan Yang's expression did not change at all. He continued, "After going through these three steps, you will go back to your old ways and perform some missions all over the world. However, the difficulty is very different this time. The mission that you are about to execute, is the difficulty of your master Mystic One. "    

Guan Yang: "…"    

Hearing this, he was finally moved.    

Mystic One, what was the difficulty of Mystic One?    

When Guan Yang infiltrated the Mafia to assassinate their boss, Mystic One had fought against the Holy Army of the Western Church!    

When Guan Yang entered the terrorist's lair to carry out the beheading operation, Mystic One was killed by the temple monks in Nepal!    

Carry out his mission?    

Guan Yang shuddered at the thought.    

But at the same time, he was also looking forward to it.    

What martial granduncle said sounded ordinary and unremarkable, but Guan Yang knew it wasn't that simple.    

Death, I'm coming!
