"Thank you for your kindness, City Lord! I, Chen Lei, will engrave this in my heart and repay you in the future! "
Chen Lei cupped his hands in thanks with a grateful expression.
At this time, Chen Lei saw that there were guards and maids in the Jiang Residence's courtyard preparing some wedding items. He said, "I didn't know that the City Lord would have such a joyous occasion. Chen Lei was too abrupt and didn't bring any congratulatory gifts!"
At this time, Jiang Dalong also looked at the maids and guards in the courtyard who were busy preparing for the wedding. He said, "Master Chen, you're being too serious. The wedding was originally scheduled for three days later, but the Fengshui master said that it's not appropriate. We'll have to wait until after the Cangzhou Sword Conference before the auspicious day!"
"So that's how it is. I, Chen Lei, will be sure to ask for a cup of wine after the Cangzhou Sword Competition. I wonder which son of the City Lord will be celebrating?"
"Patriarch Chen, look, it's him, my second son, Jiang Huai!"
Chen Lei looked in the direction Jiang Dalong was pointing and immediately saw Jiang Huai. He muttered to himself, So it's this young thug. I wonder which family's girl he's snatched!
The second young master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Huai. Everyone in Cangzhou City, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, rich or poor, knew that Jiang Huai was the infamous young master of Cangzhou City.
However, Chen Lei only kept this disdain in his heart and kept praising Jiang Huai on the surface. "Not at all, not at all. The City Lord is too humble. The second young master is young and promising with a boundless future ahead of him. It's the fortune of three lifetimes that the second young master has taken a liking to that family's girl!"
"To tell the truth, the second young master has taken a liking to Qin Ziyan, the daughter of Qin Yuan of the Qin Family!"
Chen Lei was surprised for a moment when he heard Jiang Dalong mention Qin Ziyan of the Qin Family. He then nodded repeatedly and said, "Second young master, you have a good eye. This Qin Ziyan was known as the number one beauty in Cangzhou City three years ago!"
Jiang Dalong and Chen Lei discussed some matters regarding Qin Ziyan before Chen Lei bid farewell and left the Jiang Residence.
Chen Lei returned to the Chen Residence's main hall after he left and summoned all the influential figures of the Chen Family to discuss the clan arena in Cangzhou City tomorrow.
"Father! I don't know how long I've waited for this day. Tomorrow, my dream will finally come true! All the young talents of the Qin family, tomorrow, I will let you know how powerful I is. "
After learning from his father that the Clan Arena would be held in Cangzhou City tomorrow, Chen Lei's eldest son, Chen Chong, cheered excitedly with eyes brimming with anticipation.
As soon as Chen Chong finished speaking, everyone in the hall nodded at Chen Lei, praising Chen Chong's Sword Dao cultivation and criticizing the young talents of the Qin family.
"Master! Young Master is right, tomorrow's Clan Arena Champion belongs to Eldest Young Master! "
"First Young Master, you're a talented swordsman, and you've received the Old Master's guidance. It'll be a piece of cake for you to deal with the Qin family."
"That's right! How can those so-called young talents of the Qin family compare to our Eldest Young Master? The Sword Testing Disciple actually lost to Sword Slave Qin Feng on the grand Sword Testing Day! "
"That's right, the so-called young talents of the Qin family are a disgrace to the three generations of Qin family ancestors!"
After the discussion, Chen Lei assigned some specific tasks, and everyone left the main hall one after another.
As he watched everyone leave, Chen Lei's eyes were full of vigor and expectation. He kept muttering to himself in his heart, The fourth great family … Tomorrow, it will be my Chen family. Tomorrow, I, Chen Lei, will be the head of the famous fourth great family in Cangzhou City.
The next day, early in the morning, the battle drums on the Clan Arena in Cangzhou City had already been sounded by the Chen Family.
The beating of the drums was like a still lake at first, but the rhythmic rise and fall of the drums resounded throughout the entire Cangzhou City.
Chen Lei and the members of the Chen Family had already arrived at the Clan Arena. The disciple sent out to issue the challenge letter to the young talents of the Qin family had already passed through the last street and arrived at the entrance of the Qin family.
In fact, even if the people of the Chen Family hadn't come to the Qin family to issue the challenge letter, the members of the Qin family would have already heard the beating of the drums at this moment.
At this moment, the person who received the letter of challenge from the Chen Family's disciple was none other than the third son of the Qin family's Clan Head, Qin Ming.
After receiving the letter of challenge, Qin Ming's face was filled with terror. When he heard the rhythmic beating of the drums, his heart burned with anxiety. It was as though the drumsticks were hammering against his heart.
As the third young master of the clan, Qin Ming knew what the Chen Clan's letter of challenge signified when the clan's war drums sounded.
It signified that the Chen Family would issue a challenge to all the young talents of the Qin family after the beating of the drums, challenging the title of the number four clan in Cangzhou City.
Because of this, when Qin Ming recalled the scene of his two elder brothers being heavily injured and unable to fight, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "My two elder brothers are still injured and unable to fight. Now, what should I do now?!"
Fortunately, his father, Qin Wentian, had already exited his closed-door seclusion this morning.
At this moment, Qin Ming was holding onto the Chen Family's letter of challenge as he ran towards the direction of the hall where his father exited his closed-door seclusion.
"Father! Father! Not good, not good! The letter of challenge, the Chen Family's letter of challenge! "
Qin Wentian, who had just exited his closed-door seclusion, didn't know that Qin Jian and Qin Wu were injured. When he exited his closed-door seclusion, he heard the beating of the drums.
Seeing Qin Ming running towards him with a face filled with fear, Qin Wentian angrily rebuked, "Ming 'er, don't be anxious. Father has already heard it. It's just a challenge from some ordinary people. With your elder brother and second brother here, they can forget about shaking our position as the number four clan."
"Father! Father! Both elder brother and second brother are heavily injured and unable to fight! "
"What?! Your elder brother and second brother are injured?! What exactly is going on?! "
Qin Wentian's face was filled with anxiety as he looked at Qin Ming, who said that Qin Wu and Qin Jian were injured. His eyes were filled with shock.
At this moment, a disciple reported.
"Old Master, Old Master, all the clan leaders have arrived at the hall. They are all anxious to see Old Master!"
After hearing the disciple's report, Qin Wentian brought Qin Ming and rushed towards the hall. On the way, he learned of everything that happened to the Qin Family while he was in closed-door seclusion.
After Qin Wentian learned of everything, his face was filled with heaviness. At this moment, he arrived at the hall.
In the hall, the clan leaders of the five branch clans of the Qin Family were all there. They didn't sit down but paced back and forth, their expressions filled with anxiety.
After Qin Wentian entered the hall, the clan leaders of the five branch clans all crowded around him. All of them had heavy expressions on their faces. "Elder Brother! Elder Brother, it's Chen Lei from the Chen Family. This morning, he sounded the battle drum of the Cangzhou Clan! "
"Elder Brother! Because there are still a few more days before the clan's battle, little brother went to ask City Lord Jiang and got his permission! "
