The man called out in a deep voice.
Then, they saw Gong Chen walk in from outside with a smile on his face.
Both father and son stared at Gong Chen in astonishment and exclaimed, "Weren't you imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island? How did you get out?"
Gong Chen smiled faintly, casually sat down at the table, and said with a leisurely laugh, "Brother, don't be so surprised. Getting out of Dark Shadow Island isn't such a big deal!"
The father and son were completely bewildered.
Getting out of Dark Shadow Island isn't a big deal?
Even if you were lucky enough to escape Dark Shadow Island, there's no need to be so cocky!
However, after their initial shock wore off, both of them were delighted and began showing their concern for Gong Chen's wellbeing.
Gong Chen remained tight-lipped about what happened on Dark Shadow Island.
Instead, he asked directly, "Brother, what exactly was going on earlier?"
At this mention, the man sighed and stopped questioning Gong Chen about his situation.
"Ah, Senior Brother."
"You know about Chong's condition."
"There hasn't been any improvement over the years, and now it's almost time for his marriage to the Holy Maiden of the Qianxun Sect!"
"But who would have thought, a few days ago, the Qianxun Sect came to break off the engagement. Chong got angry and made a one-year pact with that Holy Maiden, saying he would defeat her within a year!"
As he spoke, the man rubbed his forehead.
His face was full of worry.
"Hasn't that pathetic sect always relied on our Great Transformation Sect? How dare they be so bold as to break off the engagement with Chong?" Gong Chen said with a gloomy expression.
"Ah, you don't know."
"After you were imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, this Holy Maiden Li Qingxuan awakened the Ancient Immortal Physique."
"Moreover, she was accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of Xi Ning Continent."
"In other words, now that the Qianxun Sect has the Lord of Xi Ning Continent as their backing, they no longer need our Great Transformation Sect, which is why they came to break off the engagement."
The man kept sighing as he spoke: "How could Chong possibly be a match for Li Qingxuan in a year's time!"
"That's why I was just scolding him. It would be better to simply agree to break off the engagement. Losing a bit of face is better than losing face in front of countless people on the arena platform a year later!" the man said, shaking his head.
After understanding the whole story, Gong Chen burst into laughter.
He looked at Lu Chong with approval.
"Chong, well done! It's good that you didn't agree to break off the engagement, or we would have lost all face," Gong Chen said with a broad smile.
Lu Zun was instantly dumbfounded.
So was Lu Chong himself.
"Senior Brother, did you not understand?" Lu Zun couldn't help saying, "We're not losing face now by refusing, but what about a year from now?"
"How can you make Chong defeat Li Qingxuan in a year?"
"How to defeat Li Qingxuan?"
"Brother, to be frank, I came back this time specifically to find you two father and son."
"Because I'm going to give Chong a great opportunity!"
"If Chong successfully obtains this opportunity, Li Qingxuan will be nothing but a joke!"
The eyes of Lu Zun and his son lit up.
They asked eagerly: "What opportunity is it?"
Gong Chen grinned and said, "Of course, it's to enter Dark Shadow Island for training!"
"Dark Shadow Island?"
The father and son's eyes bulged.
They looked at Gong Chen with complete disappointment.
"Senior Brother, things are already bad enough, please don't joke with us," Lu Zun said with an ugly expression.
"Yes, Uncle. Dark Shadow Island is a place everyone tries to avoid. What opportunity could there be? This joke isn't funny at all," Lu Chong added from the side.
