And there, right behind him, was Wu Liangchen, watching him with a look of grim amusement.
The close proximity made the hair on Sun Lingchen's neck stand up, but he forced himself to calm down and nodded emphatically.
"That's right! If you don't believe me, I can call my family right now. You can demand whatever you want, and I guarantee my grandfather will agree."
Hearing Sun Lingchen's confident words, Wu Liangchen smiled.
"That does sound tempting."
Sun Lingchen breathed a silent sigh of relief.
'No matter the cost, as long as I can save my own skin right now, it's worth it.'
'As for what comes after...'
'Hmph. A mere Martial Cultivator has no idea of the consequences of truly angering a major family.'
'Even if this Martial Cultivator is also a Miracle Worker of immense power, it won't make a difference.'
Of course, these thoughts were fleeting. The most pressing matter was to win Wu Liangchen's trust and save his own life.
