Su Chen nodded and said calmly, "Then you're quite lucky."
Upon hearing this, Duan Qiancang's face showed a bitter expression. "Actually, I would rather have died in that massacre than live a wretched life. I often think, why not just die? But dying like that feels so unwilling. So, I've been living in a state of inner turmoil and pain, and I can only drink every day to numb myself."
After listening, Ye Ningshuang felt a Duan Qiancang. If she had experienced something like that, she probably wouldn't have had the courage to live on. After all, she couldn't take revenge while alive, and she would be living in constant pain. It would be better to die than to live like that.
No wonder Duan Qiancang always got drunk; perhaps being drunk reduced some of his pain.
Duan Qiancang's expression suddenly became excited. He looked at Su Chen, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes revealed expectation. " Young Master Su, can you really help me get revenge?"
Su Chen didn't rush to respond. He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, then looked up at Duan Qiancang and said calmly, "What? You still don't believe me?"
Duan Qiancang's expression changed, and he quickly said, "No... no, it's mainly because although the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect is a weapon-refining sect, its overall strength is not weak. Its sect leader is a Late-stage Immortal Emperor, and it is said that he is only one step away from breaking through to the Peak Immortal Emperor."
Ye Ningshuang said, "Have you forgotten his identity? He is the young master of the Mystic Hall and the dean of the Yingtian Academy. With these two identities, why would he be afraid of the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect member?"
Duan Qiancang was stunned. " Yingtian Academy?"
Ye Ningshuang explained, "His mother was the head of the Yingtian Academy, but she has now stepped down to give it to him. Do you understand?"
Duan Qiancang was utterly shocked. " The Mystic Hall and Yingtian Academy are both forbidden forces. Young Master Su's background is incredibly powerful. If that's the case, then we certainly don't need to fear the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."
Ye Ningshuang waved her hand, "So you don't need to worry about whether he can avenge you. The question now is, if he really does avenge you, are you sure you'll willingly obey him?"
Duan Qiancang's expression turned serious. "If Young Master Su can truly help me avenge myself, my life is his. Even if it means my immediate death, I will not hesitate."
He paused for a moment, then said, "My main concern is that many powerful individuals owe the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect favors, including some Immortal Emperor."
Ye Ningshuang was taken aback. "Is that so?"
Duan Qiancang asked in surprise, "You don't know?"
Ye Ningshuang shook her head and said, "I don't know anything about the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."
Duan Qiancang nodded and said, "I understand."
He then explained, " The Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect has always had a rule: anyone who asks them to forge weapons must not only receive a generous reward but also owe them a favor. If Young Master Su were to attack the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect, these powerful figures would definitely step in to stop him."
Ye Ningshuang was stunned. "Is there such a rule?"
Duan Qiancang nodded and said, "It has always been like that, which is the main reason why the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect has been able to remain powerful to this day. There are simply too many powerful individuals who owe them favors."
Ye Ningshuang fell into deep thought, then looked at Su Chen, "What do you think?"
Su Chen put down his wine glass and calmly said, "Anyone who dares to stop me, just kill them."
Ye Ningshuang gave a slender thumb, "Awesome."
She believed that Su Chen had the ability, because Su Chen not only had a powerful background, but his own strength was also ridiculously strong. She believed that if Su Chen really wanted to destroy the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect, he could definitely do it.
However, Duan Qiancang, who was standing to the side, was completely bewildered.
Whoever obstructs, kill them.
Holy crap!
Is that really that amazing?
After hesitating for Duan Qiancang, Duan Qiancang finally said, " Young Master Su, are you serious about what you're saying?"
Su Chen glanced at Duan Qiancang, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Duan Qiancang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's mainly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen suddenly stood up and calmly said, "Don't say anything more. Just remember what you said. As for the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect, don't worry about it. I'll handle it."
Duan Qiancang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the impatience in Su Chen's eyes, he chose to remain silent.
Su Chen said, "Now tell me, how good are your weapon-refining skills?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Qiancang confidently stated, "If I claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first, because I have perfectly inherited the Duan Household's weapon-refining techniques."
Su Chen nodded and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
Duan Qiancang said solemnly, "Definitely not!"
Su Chen nodded, then said, "After we've resolved the matter with the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect, would you be willing to become the vice dean of the Yingtian Academy?"
Duan Qiancang was taken aback, "Become the Yingtian Academy?"
Su Chen nodded. "Yes, Yingtian Academy's Artifact Institute is currently short of a vice dean, and that's why I came to see you."
After hearing Su Chen's explanation, Duan Qiancang suddenly understood. So that's why Su Chen had approached him.
He replied earnestly, "No problem."
Su Chen calmly said, "Well, you should go to the Yingtian Academy to take up your post first. In a few days, you should hear the news of the destruction of the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect."
Duan Qiancang's eyes widened. "You... you're planning to destroy the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect?"
He originally only wanted Su Chen to kill the enemy who had wiped out his entire family, but he never expected that Su Chen wanted to destroy the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect!
This... this is fucking awesome!
Su Chen said calmly, "What's the point of keeping this kind of force around? It's better to wipe it out."
Ye Ningshuang chimed in, "That's right!"
Duan Qiancang then said, "Destroying the Ten Thousand Artifacts Sect shouldn't be that easy, right?"
Su Chen said, "All you need to do now is take up your post at the Yingtian Academy and wait for news. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Duan Qiancang hesitated for Duan Qiancang before finally nodding and saying, "Alright, but before going to the Yingtian Academy, there's something I want to do."
Su Chen calmly asked, "What is it?"
Duan Qiancang said earnestly, "I heard that Xu Hua has come to Luo City. I want to go and kill him before going to the Yingtian Academy. Is that alright?"
He looked somewhat uneasy.
Ye Ningshuang asked, "Do you have a grudge against Xu Hua?"
Duan Qiancang said in a deep voice, "I have secretly investigated and found that Xu Hua was one of the murderers who killed my Duan Household back then."
He looked at Su Chen, "So please grant my request, Young Master Su."
Su Chen said calmly, "Okay."
Duan Qiancang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed respectfully to Su Chen, "Thank you, Young Master Su."
Su Chen asked, "Where is Xu Hua located in Luo City right now?"
Duan Qiancang immediately replied, "At the Jiade Auction."
Ye Ningshuang wondered, "What is he doing at Jiade Auction?"
Duan Qiancang said, "He auctioned a weapon at the Jiade Auction, and he's going there this time to get the immortal crystals."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang immediately recalled the first item she and Su Chen auctioned at the Jiade Auction, which seemed to be a weapon forged by Xu Hua.
