Chapter 165: Chapter 92: Transcendental Iron-Cutting Sword! Three Blood Refinings!_1

“It is what I ought to do,” Su Changkong felt nothing of it, as he had received benefits and naturally should do his best to help. Moreover, he bore a deep grudge against Meng Sang, so seeing him humbled was good.

But soon, Sikong Zhan changed his tone and said, “I hear from Huanger that you have learned the Giant Whale Skill?”

Su Changkong’s heart immediately grew cautious. He had previously guessed that learning the Giant Whale Skill might bring trouble, even lead to being discarded after use, since it was the Sect’s Top Skill of the Giant Whale Gang. Now, Sikong Zhan had brought it up.

“Um… It was an opportunity that I came across,” Su Changkong nodded slightly.

Sikong Zhan sighed and said, “The Giant Whale Skill is the Sect’s Top Skill of the Giant Whale Gang, throughout the generations only the Gang Leader has been entitled to learn it. Brother Su, although you are a member of the Giant Whale Gang, cultivating the Giant Whale Skill really isn’t quite proper.”

Su Changkong listened silently; he didn’t believe that Sikong Huang had given him the method of cultivating the Giant Whale Skill without telling Sikong Zhan. With Sikong Zhan’s consent, Sikong Huang would definitely not impart it to him.

Sikong Zhan then said, “Brother Su, you seem quite young, and apparently, you are not yet married?”

“Ah?” Su Changkong was somewhat stunned, faintly realizing something.

As expected, Sikong Zhan promptly said, “My younger sister is twenty-one this year, only two years older than Brother Su. Her conditions in Ink Forest Prefecture could be counted as second to none. As the eldest brother acts as a father, if Brother Su is willing, I would like to betroth her to you. From then on, we would be one family!”

Sikong Zhan’s words were very straightforward. Su Changkong, an outsider, had learned the Sect’s Top Skill of the Sikong Family from the Giant Whale Gang. Naturally, the best way to handle this was to make Su Changkong one of their own!

Su Changkong was young, and his talent in the Martial Arts was astounding. In a short time, he had advanced so much in cultivating the highly demanding Giant Whale Skill. Recruiting him into the Sikong Family’s ranks, perhaps in a few years, he might become the second Sikong Yong!

For this, Sikong Zhan had specifically discussed with Sikong Huang, which led to this scene today.

Su Changkong glanced at Sikong Huang, who was very calm, clearly knowing the purpose of the visit beforehand, yet there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

It amounted to a marriage alliance, using her to draw in Su Changkong.

Although Su Changkong was indeed outstanding and entirely fit for her, Sikong Huang still didn’t like it this way; she was very prideful, otherwise, as a daughter, she wouldn’t have trained so hard in martial arts from a young age, just to be able to control her own fate.

But being a member of the Sikong Family, which had raised her, she ought to bear the corresponding obligations. All she could do was to accept the arrangement!

Agreeing to Sikong Zhan’s request would not only solve the issue of the Giant Whale Skill, but the Sikong Family would certainly spare no effort in nurturing Su Changkong. It seemed like the perfect solution.

But Su Changkong said with a firm expression, “Young Gang Leader, please excuse me but I cannot agree.”

This made Sikong Zhan frown, “Why? Is my sister not good enough for you?”

“No,” Su Changkong shook his head. “It’s not about being worthy or not, it’s just that my ambition does not lie here! What I pursue is too ethereal. I refuse to give up until I achieve it, and before reaching this goal, I cannot have too many attachments, hindering my steps!”

Su Changkong pursued not fame or wealth, but the highest realm of Martial Arts, the Martial Arts that could grant immortality!

Every common man, every prince and noble, every emperor, all longed for immortality.

Immortality was something everyone yearned for in their dreams, yet it was a realm incredibly difficult to attain!

Marrying and having children was at least not something Su Changkong considered at the moment, let alone the fact that he had his own pride. Sikong Huang had no feelings of that nature for him. She was simply not opposed due to pressure from the Sikong Family.

And Su Changkong felt the same about Sikong Huang. If that was the case, why should both sides compromise and settle?

Sikong Zhan continued to try to convince him, “Brother Su, it is necessary for a man to marry and settle down in life, it’s not as if you’d marry right away, you could just set the engagement now.”

“Young Gang Leader, there’s no need to insist. If it really doesn’t work, I can swear never to cultivate the Giant Whale Skill again,” Su Changkong said.

He shook his head with a calm yet resolute tone.

Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang exchanged glances, Su Changkong’s firm refusal had actually relieved them both.

According to Sikong Zhan’s temperament, he was unwilling to sacrifice his sister’s entire life just to win over a young Martial Artist.

Sikong Huang had agreed due to the pressure of the situation. With Su Changkong’s refusal, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, both admired him secretly; another person in the same situation would most likely have agreed, but Su Changkong had his own bottom line. If it was touched, he would not retreat an inch!

In this respect, Su Changkong’s character was quite trustworthy.

Sikong Zhan looked at him admiringly and said, “Brother Su, you carry a spirit of pride that is rare in the young. Although this is the first time we meet, I feel an instant connection with you. How about we become sworn brothers?”

“Mr. Su’s coincidence of obtaining the Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture must also be a destined affinity,” Sikong Huang agreed, nodding.

Hearing this, Su Changkong roughly understood their intention. Since they couldn’t become in-laws, they wanted to strengthen ties in another way, hence they opted for becoming sworn brothers as the next best choice.

After considering for a moment, Su Changkong had learned the Giant Whale Skill, and since Sikong Zhan was not forcing him to marry into the Sikong Family, it was indeed the best option to step back and avoid excessive pursuit from the Sikong Family by agreeing.
