Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 760: Who The Hell Teaches A Child Like That
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
"I wonder if Xinnian has successfully reached the Nascent Soul realm by now."
Dressed in a simple grey robe, Su Chen navigated the crowded markets of Northguard City. He spoke softly to himself as he moved through the throng,
"It is truly unexpected that Senior Sister and Xinnian actually wed.
Having spent these many years wandering the Northern Border, I regret missing their ceremony and failing to provide a celebratory gift.
However, hehe, the title 'Senior Sister' is no longer necessary. From now on, I should address her as 'Younger Sister-in-law,' hahaha!"
His low-voiced rambling caused nearby pedestrians to distance themselves, eyeing him as if he were a lunatic.
Su Chen ignored their stares, continuing his internal monologue to combat the isolation of thirty years spent adventuring alone.
Immersing himself in the city's lively atmosphere, he processed the decades of family updates he had just received. Upon exiting an Ancient Secret Realm, he had checked the family Dharma Treasure, the Shadow Nest's Dark Crow.
"Enormous wealth is required to forge a secret treasure for breaking through to the Void Refining realm...
The entire Sect is searching the world for materials...
Xinnian has taken over as Family Head...
And Adoptive Father has new children—Li Xinri and Li Zhijing?
I believe I will pay a visit to my sworn younger brother and niece."
With those final words, he vanished instantly from the spot.
Passing through the dense crowds, Su Chen arrived at a stone gambling arena. However, his expression darkened into a deep scowl at the sight before him.
"Wreck it! Destroy everything! Do not think I am blind—nearly every stone you display in this arena is a blatant fraud.
Curse you, attempting to swindle me? Your dog eyes must be truly sightless!"
"Brothers, strike them! Teach them that the Young Masters of Northguard City's noble families are not to be trifled with by such trash!
I will take the blame for whatever happens!"
"What? You ask who I am? Grand Tutor Lin Jiu is my grandfather!
At my birth, Grandpa declared that in all the heavens and earth, I am supreme!
Does your patron outrank the Grand Tutor? Now, get lost!"
"Waaah!"
The wailing of a young child erupted, only to be drowned out by more arrogant shouting.
"You have terrified my daughter! To the Death Row! Throw them all into the Death Row for me!"
"..."
Observing from a rooftop two streets away, Su Chen remained silent.
He watched the handsome youth within the arena, who was clutching a child while barking orders with the typical vanity of a spoiled Young Master.
If his information was correct, this was indeed his younger sworn brother.
Currently, this sibling of his was commanding his men to loot the gambling arena, stuffing every item into his storage ring.
It was a perfect display of greed, leaving nothing behind.
That oily, cunning grin was so vivid he could almost sense it from a distance.
Under normal circumstances, if Su Chen encountered such a person, he would have beaten them to death on the spot.
"This boy... he... I..."
Su Chen lingered on the roof, feeling entirely conflicted.
He debated whether he should give Li Xinri a harsh thrashing to correct his behavior or simply join in the chaotic robbery.
Eventually, after Li Xinri finished his performance, Su Chen rubbed his temples and descended to the ground, intending to speak.
Instead, a piercing shriek hit his ears as Li Xinri looked at him with pure dread.
"An assassin! Guards! Protect me!"
"Sigh." Su Chen exhaled deeply, his chest tight with frustration.
Three decades surviving in a secret realm had been less draining than this single encounter with Li Xinri.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
As Su Chen withdrew the spiritual Qi of his Roaming Dragon Nascent Soul, Li Xinri’s hired thugs backed away.
The spirit tablet engraved with the "Li" character hanging from Su Chen’s belt shifted, signaling the hidden protectors in the shadows to stay their hand.
For a moment, the two men stood in a tense, silent standoff.
In Li Xinri’s arms, little Li Zhijing sucked her thumb, her wide eyes staring nervously at the newcomer.
The father and daughter shared an identical expression, looking like two people caught in a shameful act.
"It appears Adoptive Father is so preoccupied with the Northern Border that he has neglected your discipline."
Hearing these words, Li Xinri relaxed slightly; he realized this wasn't an assassin.
He suddenly remembered the adopted son, Su Chen, whom First Mother had mentioned, and his face brightened.
He spotted the arena owner trying to sneak away. "Big Brother, look! That scoundrel is escaping!"
"Ya ya ya!" Li Zhijing chirped, pointing her small hand in the same direction.
Su Chen ignored the shouting, his brows knitting even tighter.
"Since I have returned, I shall take it upon myself to fix your degenerate personality."
Li Xinri’s eyes bulged in shock.
"Guards! Guards! Assassin!"
He spun around and bolted for safety.
...
Li Wei watched the chaotic Li Xinri through the screen and sighed, pressing a hand to his forehead.
Despite the family’s five-hundred-year history, he never expected such an eccentric descendant to emerge. Still, Li Wei found it hard to be truly angry.
The family members were scattered with their own duties, and the Northern Border was a vast distance away.
Li Xinghuo’s domestic situation was complicated; as the saying goes, every family has its own burdens, and this branch was particularly difficult.
"I can only trust that Su Chen will be able to guide Xinri onto the right path."
The mental image of the infant Li Zhijing imitating her father’s rowdy ways made Li Wei’s lip twitch.
"Who on earth raises a child to act like that?"
A few more hours passed in an instant.
Li Wei’s mood brightened as new text appeared in the event log of the computer.
[Li Xinghuo’s adopted son, Su Chen, has returned to Eternal Sun Prefecture from the Northern Border.
During his thirty years of Cultivation in the north, he discovered a hidden sanctuary left by an ancient master. Aware of the family’s need for resources, he has delivered a significant contribution...]
