Shen Cong once had a father!
That was King Wu, Shen Duan Tian!
However, the relationship between father and son was not good!
Upon learning he was not King Wu's biological son, he felt a moment of anger!
But more than that, joy!
Because he had always yearned for a father who would cherish, love, and spoil him!
Regrettably...
Even after meeting his biological father, he was not happy!
Because he had arranged for his old man to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Cave...
He had even found a rabbit demon and a fox demon to serve him...
Was he being filial, or unfilial?
Thinking of this, he looked nervously at Yu Ye: "Where is my mother now?"
Yu Ye said sadly: "When you were snatched away, Madam was heartbroken and grief-stricken. Not long after, she left this world!"
A killing intent rose in Shen Cong's heart!
All of this was because of King Wu!
If King Wu hadn't sent people to snatch him away, his mother wouldn't have died of grief!
He wouldn't have been separated from his parents!
"Has Father not found another one during this time?" Shen Cong's mood was complicated!
Yu Ye shook his head: "Master deeply loved Madam. Although I advised him to find someone else, Master always avoided the topic!"
Shen Cong took a deep breath and said, "From now on, you will live in my residence. This will also ensure your safety!"
"As for Father, I will give him some help to gain Shen Lang's trust as soon as possible!"
Previously, Shen Cong hadn't taken Chen Nan seriously at all!
But after learning he was his father, his attitude changed!
He had to cooperate with Chen Nan's work!
Gradually win Shen Lang's trust, and then find the Dan Shu Tie Quan, and the Golden Medal of Exemption from Death!
After that, he returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave!
At this time, Chen Nan had just finished his business!
Seeing Chen Nan's complex gaze, Shen Cong almost knelt down and called him father!
But he ultimately abandoned the idea!
He didn't want to ruin his father's plan!
"Thank you for Your Highness the Great Prince's arrangements. This place is truly a paradise on earth, making one reluctant to leave!" Chen Nan exclaimed!
In fact, he had been following Shen Cong all along!
It was just that Yu Ye's appearance had interfered with his plan!
Unexpectedly, because Yu Ye was captured, Shen Cong became more convinced that he was his father!
Shen Cong smiled: "If sir likes it, you can visit often in the future. All expenses will be on my tab!"
Shen Cong felt he had let down his unseen mother!
After all, as a son, he shouldn't be arranging such things for his father!
Truly filial in an unconventional way!
Chen Nan shook his head: "Flowers and moonlit nights are indeed intoxicating, but they can also lead to a loss of ambition. My dream is to become a strategist!"
"Yes, yes!" Shen Cong changed the subject: "I'll have someone escort sir back!" As he spoke, he winked at the副将 Xun Yang: "Escort Mr. Chen back to the Prince's Mansion!"
"Mr. Chen, this way please!" Xun Yang respectfully made an inviting gesture, then escorted Chen Nan back to the Prince's Mansion!
The next day!
Just as Chen Nan was having breakfast!
Shen Lang arrived at the back courtyard, a smile on his face: "I heard sir went to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave last night? Did you have a good time there?"
Chen Nan put on a stern face and said gravely: "Your Highness the Prince should not mention this matter again. If it weren't for the purpose of fulfilling Your Highness the Prince's ambition, why would I have agreed to accompany the Great Prince to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave?"
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to Chen Nan: "I have made sir suffer for this!"
Chen Nan said: "Last night, I had a chat with Xun Yang."
Shen Lang said indignantly: "That fellow is an old stubborn fool, impossible to reason with!"
He had previously sent people to try and contact Xun Yang, as he was Shen Cong's副将 and his Azure Dragon Guards were formidable, a sharp blade defending Bai Di City!
If he could win him over, it would undoubtedly weaken Shen Cong's influence within the city defense forces!
Chen Nan said: "This person has an illegitimate son who has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, but due to his dull aptitude, he might never break through his limitations in this lifetime!"
Shen Lang's eyes lit up: "Does sir mean to use Xun Yang's son as a point of leverage?"
Chen Nan: "Precisely. If we can give Xun Yang's son a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and a spiritual artifact, and help him overcome the heavenly tribulation, Xun Yang will undoubtedly be deeply grateful!"
Shen Lang: "Big Brother can also give him these things!"
Chen Nan shook his head: "Xun Yang did indeed approach the Great Prince, hoping to get a spiritual artifact and a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir! However, the fellow chose a very bad time and was scolded by the Great Prince!"
Shen Lang's eyebrows shot up: "Could it be that it was when Big Brother and Sister-in-law were arguing three days ago?"
Chen Nan frowned: "That doesn't seem right. He said they argued five days ago!"
Shen Lang laughed heartily: "Sir, you don't know, but the relationship between my Big Brother and Sister-in-law is not good. They practically have a small argument every three days and a big one every five days!"
"However, the information sir has provided is very important. I will have people contact Xun Yang and give him everything he wants!"
"If this person can help me at a critical moment, I can completely sever my Big Brother's claws and fangs!"
He had initially suspected Chen Nan, but now, Chen Nan's words had dispelled his doubts!
------
On the other side!
Shen Cong went to Shen Feng's residence!
Shen Cong and Shen Feng had a deep brotherly bond, which was a well-known story in Bai Di City!
Even if they met, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention!
It would be seen as a very ordinary meeting!
"Big Brother, why have you visited today?"
Shen Fei asked with a smile!
Shen Cong said: "I've come today to ask Third Brother how he views the strategist in Fourth Brother's mansion?"
Shen Fei shook his head!
It was clear he didn't think highly of Chen Nan!
Shen Cong said seriously: "I didn't think highly of this person at first, but after interacting with him yesterday, I realized he is far more cunning than we imagined!"
Shen Fei chuckled: "Big Brother, don't flatter him. If he were cunning, he wouldn't have gone with you to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave yesterday!"
Shen Cong said dismissively: "Warfare is about deception. I, on the other hand, believe this young man has profound hidden depths!"
Shen Fei frowned: "What does Big Brother mean by that?"
Shen Cong hesitated, then sighed: "Last night, I had a dream. That dream filled me with great fear. I've come this time to share my concerns with Third Brother!"
Shen Fei looked full of curiosity: "What dream could make Big Brother so afraid?"
Shen Cong took out a magical artifact and activated it, isolating the surroundings to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on today's conversation: "I dreamed that I was not the son of our Father King!"
Shen Fei gasped: "Big Brother, don't speak such words. If our Father hears them, he will surely be furious!"
Shen Cong whispered: "In fact, I know it was just a dream, but if it were only me, it would be fine!"
"The problem is, this dream also involves you, Third Brother!"
Shen Fei frowned slightly: "Why do I have something to do with it?"
Shen Cong's face was grim: "Not only is my biological father not Father King, but your biological father is also someone else!"
Shen Fei suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with horror: "Who is my biological father?"
