In the courtyard of the Zhu family, the higher-ups of the Zhu family had gathered together.
In terms of strength, the Zhu family was not necessarily the most powerful among the four families.
But in terms of inheritance, the Zhu family was the oldest. It was said that their ancestors could be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, and they were even closely related to the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, within the Zhu family, there was still an elder clan system that had been abolished for a long time.
"This is the notice I have just received."
The Zhu Family's Patriarch, Zhu Jingyi, raised his hand and pushed a secret document to the group of Elders. With a solemn expression, he asked, "What do you think?"
The expressions of the Zhu Family elders changed slightly when they saw the bright red seal. "It was issued in the name of the Astrology Bureau?"
The Zhu family had a long history and was involved in both the inner and outer worlds, so they naturally knew about the existence of the Astrology Bureau.
The contents of the secret document made everyone's expression change. "The youngest Major General of the Republic, the new guardian of the Northern Plains, and a peerless grandmaster who is less than 20 years old?" they exclaimed.
For most people, the first identity was enough to subvert their worldview, challenge their common sense, and shock them both physically and mentally.
On the contrary, the second two identities were more symbolic and could not be understood by ordinary people.
But for the Zhu family, who had a long history of martial arts, they knew very well that a Grandmaster who was less than twenty years old had a terrifying meaning.
It meant that he was a giant in the martial arts world, a walking human-shaped missile, a super power second only to the nuclear bomb and a few other modern weapons!
To launch a nuclear missile, the navigation system needed to be calibrated, and it could be intercepted midway. But how could a mere human do that?
This also meant that a few experienced makeup artists were enough to allow Chen Xiao to take on any identity and sneak into any country without any hindrance!
"From the information, it seems that this Grandmaster Chen wants to attack the Qiao family. Maybe we can take this opportunity to win his favor."
Soon, with the unanimous approval of the elders, the family lord of the Zhu family, Zhu Jingyi, made a decision to send the First Elder of the Zhu family, Zhu Chongshan, to the Qinhuai River with a gift to meet the Grandmaster.
…
"The new guardian of the Northern Plains, a Grandmaster who is less than twenty years old?"
As one of the four major families, the atmosphere in the Li family was completely different.
The Li Clan Head looked at the report on the table and couldn't help but look at the black-robed old man beside him. "Elder Nan, how trustworthy do you think this report is?"
Elder Nan's entire body was wrapped in a black robe, and his aura was concealed. At this moment, he laughed strangely, "Although I'm only at the Qi Transformation Postcelestial Stage and have lived in seclusion for decades, I still understand the basic rules of martial cultivation."
He paused for a few seconds, and his tone became even more disdainful. "It's extremely difficult to break through to the Qi Transforming Stage before the age of twenty. A Grandmaster before the age of twenty is just a joke."
"Please give me some pointers, Elder Nan." The Li Family's Patriarch cupped his hands.
"I had once heard that the guardian god of Northern Plains was reaching the end of his lifespan, but he had not found a successor. Generally, even if a martial artist is not a Grandmaster, most of their life stories can be found. Therefore, the government can only choose to create a Grandmaster themselves. "
"An ordinary Grandmaster is not enough. He has to be a powerful Grandmaster. That's why the government chose to promote Grandmaster Chen."
"A month ago, he was still a Connate Cultivator. Even if he had reached the Grandmaster level, he would still be a normal Grandmaster. How could he be qualified to be the Guardian of Northern Plains?"
As the old man spoke, a faint Divine Wheel flashed behind him. It looked like a Divine Halo, and it emitted a frightening aura.
However, the Li Family's Patriarch didn't notice it.
"Of course, since he is the representative of the government, we can't ignore him. I am willing to present him with a small gift on behalf of the Patriarch."
"If that's the case, then thank you, Elder Nan." The Li Family's Patriarch bowed again.
However, no one noticed the glint in Elder Nan's eyes. "Zhang Yongwang, Zhang Yongwang, I have been waiting for this day. I will let your successor bear the grudge of the past."
If Zhang Yongwang hadn't stolen his Opportunity, he might have reached the Grandmaster level earlier than Zhang Yongwang.
…
After receiving Liu Qizhou's secret message, many of the powerful families in Jinlin City started to act.
Some people believed Chen Fan's words and wanted to pay their respects to Grandmaster Chen. Others thought that Chen Fan was just trying to impress the crowd, so they quickly forgot about it.
If one could overlook the Jinlin City from the sky, they would find that at this moment, many luxury cars were racing toward the Qinhuai River.
Even though the participants of the riverbank tea party had yet to notice, the outside world was already in a state of turmoil. A shocking power was being stirred up by the existence of a single person!
That night, the most frequent words on the lips of many tycoons in Jin City were —
Grandmaster Chen!
…
In a manor by the Qinhuai River, a small auction had just begun.
On the riverbank, the lights were twirling, and the fish and dragons were dancing. The rippling water looked even more dreamy under the night sky.
One by one, the auction items were presented to the stage. From time to time, there would be rich young men chatting and sipping tea.
"Young Lord, I am sorry for losing my composure."
At this time, Qiao Shiqing finally calmed down and said with a hint of embarrassment.
The dignified Queen of the Tulip Family had always been swift and decisive. When had she ever shown such a girlish appearance in front of others?
"It's okay." Chen Xiao shook his head and said lightly, "When it's time to deal with the Qiao family, I will give you a chance."
Qiao Shiqing's delicate body trembled. After a long time, she slowly nodded and said bitterly, "Thank you, Young Lord."
Chen Xiao knew very well that as Li Yun grew bigger and bigger, his parents would definitely need strong enough helpers. However, his main focus was still on cultivation, and he knew nothing about business.
Therefore, Qiao Shiqing, the Queen of Jinlin City, became the best candidate to help his parents manage Liyun.
However, before this, Qiao Shiqing was forced to rely on him because of the situation. To make Qiao Shiqing truly submit to him, he still needed a suitable opportunity.
Although Chen Xiao could also use some secret techniques to control the soul, he didn't want to use such inhumane means unless it was absolutely necessary.
"The next auction item is the top-grade jade 'Ice and Fire Double Sky' provided by Qiao Zifang of the Qiao family. The starting price is five hundred thousand, and each increment must be no less than ten thousand."
At this time, the emcee's soft and numb voice sounded, causing many men to subconsciously swallow their saliva and look at the emcee's pair of surging breasts.
As the true meaning of this auction was more for the rich and famous to show off and compare, before every auction item was presented, they would deliberately announce the name of the auctioneer to show off their taste.
However, Chen Xiao was slightly stunned and revealed a strange expression. "This Yin Yang Jade was actually auctioned by the Qiao family?"
