"May I ask where Grandmaster Chen is?"
The appearance of this voice caused many people to be stunned for a moment.
Why would someone come to look for that young man? Didn't they see that the Qiao family was about to take action?
Wasn't he afraid that the Qiao Family would take revenge on him for asking for Grandmaster Chen's help?
However, when everyone saw who it was, they were stunned. After a few seconds, someone murmured, "If I'm not mistaken, he is … Lord Nan, the housekeeper of the Li family?"
Lord Nan had served the Li family leader loyally for decades and was regarded as the representative of the Li family. His every word and action represented the will of the Li family leader.
What really confused everyone was …
It was only the Qiao family dealing with the traitor. Why did the Li family, one of the four most powerful families, get involved?
"Judging by Lord Nan's attitude, could it be that he wants to support that young man?"
"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen tonight!"
"A storm is coming, dark clouds are pressing down on the city!"
It was almost November, and the night breeze by the Qinhuai River was a little cold, causing many people to involuntarily shiver.
"Lord Nan?" The middle-aged Connate Cultivator from the Qiao family narrowed his eyes. "Is the Li family supporting this young man?"
If the Li family wanted to protect Chen Xiao, then at least the Qiao family couldn't do anything to this young man. Everything had to be done in the dark.
"Not really. I'm just here to pay a visit to Grandmaster Chen."
Lord Nan smiled and shook his head. He looked at Chen Xiao from head to toe. His cloudy eyes were filled with sharpness, as if he was trying to see through all of Chen Xiao's secrets.
To his disappointment, Chen Xiao had concealed his energy and stood there like an ordinary person. He didn't look like a Grandmaster at all.
"This young man is indeed not a Grandmaster. However, if you can't even deal with the Qiao family, then there's no point in me seeking revenge. "
Lord Nan regarded Chen Xiao as Zhang Yongwang's heir, so he transferred his hatred of Zhang Yongwang to Chen Xiao. He wanted to get his revenge on Chen Xiao.
However, as a Grandmaster, he had the pride of a Grandmaster.
From Old Man Nan's point of view, if Chen Xiao couldn't even deal with the Qiao Family, then he wasn't worthy of his vengeance!
As a One-star Grandmaster, why would he seek revenge on a pile of mud?
"Not bad, not bad." Thinking of this, Elder Nan narrowed his eyes and laughed hoarsely, "Youngsters nowadays are not bad. This old man thinks highly of you."
After saying that, he stood to the side and didn't have the slightest intention to speak again.
Qiao Haocang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Elder Nan did not plan to support Chen Xiao. Although the Qiao Family was a martial arts family and did not fear the Li Family, he did not want to provoke the Li Family unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, as one of the Four Great Clans, there was bound to be something extraordinary about them. They were not salted fish that could be easily crushed to death.
"Brat, how dare you collude with my Qiao Family's traitor! You deserve to die a thousand times over!"
Qiao Haocang shouted coldly, and his dazzling Zhen Qi condensed into a big hand, and grabbed towards Chen Xiao from the sky.
The piercingly cold wind seemed to have transformed into a heavy millstone that carried a terrifying pressure, and it was capable of instantly slapping Chen Xiao into a meat patty.
He would deal with Qiao Shiqing, the traitor, after he dealt with this annoying little ant!
But at this moment, another voice came from afar.
"May I ask where Grandmaster Chen is?"
Qiao Haocang was not the only one who was involved. Even the onlookers felt as if their worldview had been severely challenged.
Why did one person go to look for Grandmaster Chen, and now another one?
When they saw the face of the newcomer, many young people couldn't help but take a few steps back. Their faces were filled with fear. "Is that Zhu Chongshan, the Abbess of the Zhu Family?"
Zhu Chong Shan was a well-known figure among the older generation of the Zhu family.
Although she was a woman, she had a very masculine name. Her methods were extremely vicious, which made many men feel ashamed of themselves.
Zhu Chongshan had saved the Zhu Family many times, and he was the leader of the family. His status in the Zhu Family was even higher than that of the family lord.
When Qiao Shiqing had just risen to fame, she was called "Little Abbess of the Zhu Family".
No one had expected that Zhu Chongshan from the Zhu Family would show up after Elder Nan from the Lee Family. He was also looking for Grandmaster Chen.
Many people started to wonder what kind of magical power the name Grandmaster Chen had. How could it attract so many important figures in Jin City?
"Is the Zhu Family also involved in this?" Qiao Haocang's face darkened. He felt that something was not right.
Other than the Qiao Family, two of the Four Great Families had come for the young man in front of him.
More importantly, the Zhu Family and the Qiao Family were both martial arts families, and Zhu Chongshan was a Connate Cultivator of the Zhu Family.
"I am only working for Grandmaster Chen. How can you say that I am involved?" Zhu Chongshan's voice was hoarse. He cupped his hands and said, "I, Zhu Chongshan, have come to pay a visit to the Grandmaster. The Zhu Family is willing to be the Grandmaster's lackey!"
Qiao Haocang's expression turned extremely unsightly.
Zhu Chongshan's words were like a slap to his face. He almost said that the two families were going to war.
"Oh? You are very kind. "Chen Xiao glanced at the old woman and nodded.
Even though they were enemies, Qiao Haocang almost fainted. "Young man, do you know that you are talking to a Connate Cultivator? He could kill you dozens of times with just a lift of his hand!
Why does it sound like it's a great honor for the Zhu Family to help you with such an indifferent and arrogant tone?
"Humph, Senior Zhu, are you representing the Zhu Family?" Qiao Haocang snorted. "You better think it through. A war between two families is not a small matter."
However, Zhu Chongshan only sneered. "If we can fight for the Grandmaster, the Zhu Family is willing. If you want to fight, then let's fight!"
Qiao Haocang's face darkened.
Before he could catch his breath, a loud shout came from afar.
"Xu Yao of the Xu Family and all the senior members of the Xu Family are here to pay a visit to Grandmaster Chen!"
At that moment, many people's eyes popped out of their sockets. They didn't even notice the food in their hands falling to the ground. It wasn't until the Xu Family's entourage walked past them that they came to their senses. By then, they were soaked in cold sweat.
"The Xu Family is here too, and they are here for Grandmaster Chen! All four families of Jin City are here for one person? "A rich second generation murmured incredulously.
The arrival of the Xu Family seemed to have flipped on an invisible switch.
It was supposed to be a tea party for the younger generation of Jin City, but now, it was packed with senior members of the major forces that had completely forgotten about them.
All of this was for the sake of that unknown young man.
"We are here to pay a visit to Grandmaster Chen!"
