"Milord, may I ask if there's anything we didn't serve you well? Please tell us, and we'll definitely correct it. "The nine dancers knelt in front of Chen Jiu, looking very pitiful.
"Young master, their nine celestial flowers are the best of our family, and their dance can be said to be perfect. Could it be that you're picky about something?" Long Ding asked in confusion.
"Don't my words count for anything? Scram immediately, do you hear me? "Chen Jiu was still very angry as he shouted.
"Milord …" The dancers couldn't help but look at Long Ding.
"Alright, since young master doesn't like them, then you can leave …" Long Ding waved his hand, and after sending the dancers away, he asked, "Could it be that young master doesn't like them? They're all virgins. If young master wants, then you can do it tonight … "
"Cough … what are you saying? Am I that kind of man?" Chen Jiu's face immediately turned red. His lower body was already hot enough. If he got these women to tempt him, wouldn't that be forcing him to commit a crime?
In Chen Jiu's heart, he also had his own standards. Not all women could enter his eyes. Although the dancers were beautiful, there was a lack of feeling between him and them.
"Young master, it's normal for men to be a bit more romantic," Long Ding advised with good intentions.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Chen Jiu pressed his hand down, stopping Long Ding from continuing.
"Young Master is wise." The elders all had looks of admiration on their faces.
"Young master, the elders invite you in …" At this moment, Long Gui, who had gone out, also hurried back. He said with a face full of joy, "When the first elder heard that young master had come, he pushed aside all other matters and specially came to receive young master."
"That's more like it …" They all nodded and couldn't help but follow Chen Jiu to another pavilion.
Within the pavilion, there were three elders and a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table. When they saw Chen Jiu arrive, they all stood up and courteously welcomed him. "Thank the heavens. Our clan's Dragonblood warriors have finally appeared. You've really made us look forward to seeing you for a long time."
The four of them stood there slightly. That kind of indomitable aura made it seem as if they were gods. Although they weren't very tall, it made people feel like they couldn't see their faces no matter how they looked up.
A Saint's heart skipped a beat. They had just met, and there were already four Saints leading the way. Could it be that they were trying to intimidate them? Naturally, Chen Jiu would not show any weakness. The blood of the Divine Dragon shone brightly, and it was extremely honorable. It ruled over the eight wastelands, and in this vast world, only it was revered.
The powerful Saint's pressure was instantly broken. Chen Jiu smiled slightly. "Everyone is too courteous. To be able to see the Dragonblood clan's glorious accomplishments truly gratifies me."
"It's just a small accomplishment. It's not worth mentioning. I'm Long Kong …" After some courteous introductions, Chen Jiu learned of their identities. They were the Long Gu clan's three grand elders, Long Kong, Long Shi, and Long Jian. They were in charge of various aspects of the Long Gu clan's finances.
The Long Gu clan was so huge that they had three grand elders. Furthermore, there was also that middle-aged man who sat on the same level as them. He was the official external patriarch, Long Zhong.
"Chen Jiu, Long Gui has already told us about you. We admit that you really are a rarely seen genius. But you should also be able to see that our family's current accomplishments have already surpassed both ancient and modern times." Long Kong was the first to speak. His implication was that Chen Jiu wouldn't be of much use even if he didn't have him.
"What? Elder Long Kong, what do you mean? Are you looking down on the young master? Do you think that just because your clan has such a small accomplishment, you're starting to get complacent? Do you think you're amazing? " The various Elders immediately snorted discontentedly. "You're just a local rich man. Compared to the Dragonblood Sovereign's glory back then, I'm afraid you're still a far cry …"
"Everyone, no matter how lacking our clan is, we're still tens of thousands of times stronger than you, right?" The Long family's grand elders all sank.
"Alright, don't argue. Let's talk things out properly." Long Ding and Long Gui hastily advised them.
"Chen Jiu, why aren't you saying anything? If you want our clan to swear loyalty, you should at least show some sincerity." Long Zhong couldn't help glaring at Chen Jiu.
"We're all family, so I won't be so polite. Tell me what your test is. How can I obtain an Ancestral item?" Chen Jiu went straight to the point.
"Oh? Why are you so sure we'll give you this test? "asked Long Shi.
"If there wasn't this test, you wouldn't have come to see me, right?" Chen Jiu smiled faintly. "Your foundation is in the Mythological Divine Nation. It doesn't feel good to live under someone else's roof, right? If you really don't have any rebellious thoughts, then you wouldn't be the men of our Dragonblood Clan. "
"Damn, you're really an understanding person. You're much better than them …" Long Jian suddenly laughed. "I think this kid can do it. He's reliable."
"Eh, to be able to say such words, at least his mind is mature." Long Kong couldn't help nodding in agreement.
"That dancer just now was so beautiful, but he wasn't moved at all. I think his character is passable," Long Shi added.
"Sigh, there is indeed a difficult matter in the family right now …" Long Zhong sighed and said with a depressed expression.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details. "Chen Jiu was startled. He knew the main point had come.
"Ever since the Mythological Divine Nation was established, our Dragonblood clan has only been glorious on the surface. Internally, we've been stifled to death …" Following that, the four leaders began to tell Chen Jiu about their difficulties in detail.
The Mythological Divine Nation had risen in power in one night, destroying the Tai Heng and Yun Fei empires. They had been unstoppable and domineering.
War had broken out everywhere, and things like burning, killing, and plundering were unavoidable. The Dragonblood clan had powerful martial strength, so they weren't afraid of that. But what made them incomparably depressed was that after the war ended, they had just gotten back on the right track. Just as they were planning to greatly expand, they had been punished by the Mythological Divine Nation.
"What? You didn't steal, and you didn't rob. Why did they punish you? "This time, the elders were all puzzled.
"They said we were monopolizing the market and affecting normal competition. Not only did they give us a sky-high fine, but they also increased the taxes on our businesses." Long Zhong's face was filled with resentment.
"After this, the majority of the money we earn will have to be handed over to the Mythological Divine Nation. Don't you think we've worked for nothing?" The three elders sighed endlessly.
"This … this is the empire's policy. You can't be thinking of asking me to reverse it for you, right? That's a bit impractical. "Chen Jiu was speechless. With his current strength, how could he possibly overthrow the continent's third largest power?
