This time coming to the Shangguan Family's journey indeed left Mu Tian somewhat surprised, even to the point of feeling greatly shocked.

"Su Changfeng won, did he really win?"

"He actually defeated a big figure from another realm!"

"Su Changfeng, you are truly amazing!"

It's unclear who led the crowd in chanting Su Changfeng's name, but everyone inside the Martial Arts Hall collectively shouted, as if they might collapse the roof.

Shangguan Xuanjie excitedly shouted his son Su Changfeng's name, his face flushed with excitement.

Although he had placed hope in Canghai, hoping he would be favored by Mu Tian, the outcome that appeared at this moment was unexpectedly good. How could Shangguan Xuanjie not be excited?

Shangguan Wenchuan's mood right now is entirely the opposite of Shangguan Xuanjie's. It is undoubtedly the lowest point in his life, his face devoid of any color, his legs weak as he suddenly fell back into a seat.

Su Changfeng shattered his chance to inherit a position in the Shangguan Family. Shangguan Wenchuan particularly understood at this moment that he wouldn't have the same stature and prominence in the Shangguan Family anymore, and might no longer be valued by Shangguan Sichen.

Could it be that the Shangguan Family has truly become something held within Shangguan Xuanjie's grasp?

"Grandfather, Su Changfeng won! Su Changfeng won!" Shangguan Xuanjie excitedly reminded Shangguan Sichen.

Shangguan Sichen displayed an exceptionally calm demeanor, though inside he too was quite excited, his whole body's cells starting to become active. But as the Family Head of the Shangguan Family, he couldn't be as unruly as others in Shangguan.

Approaching Mu Tian, Shangguan Sichen clasped his fists and said, "Master Mu Tian, what do you think about Su Changfeng's recent performance?"

Mu Tian didn't speak, but directly left the Martial Arts Hall. It was equally impossible to discern if he was happy or angry.

Wu Wen walked down from the ring like he had lost his soul, looking desolate, as such a situation was indeed hard for him to bear. Initially high and mighty, he couldn't accept being defeated by someone from the secular world, but the reality was laid out; he indeed lost.

After leaving the Martial Arts Hall, he could still hear the cries of the Shangguan Family members cheering for Su Changfeng's victory around him, and Wu Wen involuntarily turned his head to look, his expression full of bitterness.

"Su Changfeng."

"Su Changfeng."

"Su Changfeng."

...

When Shangguan Sichen raised his left hand, this section of the Shangguan Family members stopped their cheers due to Su Changfeng's victory.

Shangguan Sichen smiled and said to Su Changfeng, "From now on, you will be one of us in the Shangguan Family, able to enjoy everything within our family. If you agree, you could even change your name to Shangguan Canghai."

"I refuse." Su Changfeng calmly replied.

The Shangguan Family members were very aware of Shangguan Sichen's intentions in asking Su Changfeng to change his surname.

This meant Shangguan Sichen valued Su Changfeng strongly, and changing his surname implied Su Changfeng could become part of the Shangguan family in the future, an honor not easily attained by ordinary people.

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Xuanjie's originally excited mood instantly dropped, as in his view, Su Changfeng was merely someone of utility, useful in helping him vie for the position of Family Head.

If Su Changfeng indeed changed his surname and was favored, it would merely fulfill Su Changfeng's role, which was not the situation he wanted to see.

In a moment, Shangguan Xuanjie even decided to use Ye Nianhai to stop Su Changfeng from competing for what was now his rightful Family Head's position.

However, everyone was unforeseen to find out that Su Changfeng would be so decisively reject Shangguan Sichen.

"Su Changfeng actually refused." Someone felt it as if a hallucination had occurred, grumbled incredulously.

"Could it be that Su Changfeng looks down on our Shangguan Family?" Shangguan Sichen said, displeased.

"It's impossible for me to change my surname." Su Changfeng said indifferently.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Shangguan Family members realized they weren't experiencing auditory illusions, for Su Changfeng indeed verbally rejected the offer.

The Martial Arts Hall instantly plunged into a commotion, as the position of Family Head essentially placed before him, yet he refused!

The Shangguan Family's wealth valued at hundreds of billions, something almost impossible for someone not to be tempted by, yet Su Changfeng rejected without even considering, as if he didn't care for the Shangguan family's riches at all.

Shangguan Xuanjie sneered coldly, feeling as if he understood his own position well, knowing Ye Nianhai was still in his grasp, thus refrained from competing for the Family Head's position.

However, this assumption was gravely mistaken by Shangguan Xuanjie. Su Changfeng wasn't worried about being threatened; he simply didn't care about the Shangguan Family's assets.

Money, in Su Changfeng's view, was nothing more than numbers, besides which large families undoubtedly housed many internal struggles, deeply immersed in high society with no time for constant plotting.

Shangguan Sichen's face became somewhat frosty; he worried about being unable to control Su Changfeng, hence the opportunity given to him, yet he hadn't expected Su Changfeng to refuse outright.

"Do you even know how much the assets of the Shangguan Family amount to? Though our name isn't on the world rich list, those listed are merely middle-class in my view." Shangguan Sichen said coldly.

Though the claims about considering people on the rich list as middle-class are somewhat exaggerated, they confirm the Shangguan Family is indeed very wealthy.

But what of it?

Su Changfeng preferred to dedicate his life to Tang Qiulu and Ye Nianhai rather than that pile of filthy money.

"Money, in my view, holds no meaning." Su Changfeng said casually.

This statement directly led some people to express disdain toward Su Changfeng, as in their eyes, no one could exist who didn't like money, implying Su Changfeng was somewhat excessively boasting.

"Are you really against changing your surname?" Shangguan Sichen asked once more.

At this moment, Shangguan Xuanjie hurriedly approached Shangguan Sichen and said, "Grandfather, now since Su Changfeng is unwilling to change his surname, don't force him anymore, and he will always follow what I said, so you needn't worry about him disregarding our words after winning Master Mu Tian's approval."
