The arrogant and willful Shui Qianyue.
Just as Chu Xingyun was cultivating in seclusion, a major event occurred in the outside world.
More than ten towns under the jurisdiction of West Wind City suddenly announced that they were willing to submit to Chu Town, and were willing to follow Chu Town as their leader. They would share their resources and seek development together.
When this news came out, all the families in West Wind City were shocked, and even the City Lord's office was no exception.
Although these more than ten cities and towns were under the jurisdiction of the West Wind City, but each city and town had their own management rights. Even the City Lord's office could not command them at will. Because of this, these more than ten cities and towns were almost in a state of open and secret struggle.
Now... these ten towns suddenly announced that they would share their resources, and were willing to submit to Chu Town. Wasn't this too strange?
However, this was not the only thing that shocked everyone.
After the ten towns announced their submission to Chu Town, Chu Town fully publicized all the cooperation with Hundred Treasures Building, and also spread the news of the Fire Spirit Stone vein.
For a moment, all the families in West Wind City were dumbfounded. They did not expect Chu Town to develop to such an extent. There were even some families and forces that went to Chu Town on the same day to express their goodwill to the Chu family.
Shui Family Mansion, Conference Hall.
Shui Chongxian and the other higher-ups of the Shui Family were gathered here. As they listened to the reports of their subordinates, their faces became more and more gloomy.
"After all the towns were merged into the Chu family, the Chu family's strength is enough to be ranked as one of the top families in West Wind City. If we include the cooperation between the Chu family and other forces, just in terms of financial resources, it is enough to approach our Shui Family. Yesterday, the Jin family and Yang family both sent people to Chu Town, seemingly to discuss some cooperation."
Hearing this, the eyebrows of one of the higher-ups of the Shui Family were almost tightly knitted together. He said in a low voice, "Patriarch, if this trend continues, in less than a year, the Chu family will be able to completely suppress our Shui Family."
Shui Chongxian did not look too good either. He said in a gloomy tone, "I heard that the Chu clan had fallen apart some time ago. I never expected that in just a few months, not only did they not decline, they even roped in so many forces. Even the Hundred Treasures Tower is on good terms with them."
"Back then, when the Hundred Treasures Building cooperated with Chu Zhen, almost everyone thought that it was just a small matter. In fact, they sealed off a lot of information. When the time comes, the Chu Family will fully announce their strength and wealth. This way, countless families will be willing to join them." One of the Shui Family's upper echelons sighed.
Ever since Chu Xingyun's marriage proposal, everyone had forgotten about the Chu Family, and the Shui Family was no exception. No one knew anything about the Chu Family, and they had always thought that the Chu Family was on the verge of decline.
The news that came during this period of time was like a slap to the Shui Family's face, causing them to feel a burning sensation on their faces.
"Actually, the relationship between the Chu clan and the Hundred Treasures Building has long been apparent. It's just that we've neglected it." At this moment, another upper echelon of the Shui Family suddenly spoke, causing Shui Chongxian's gaze to freeze. He asked, "What do you mean?"
That upper echelon of the Shui Family said, "Family Head, do you remember that Qin Yuyan asked the Hundred Treasures Building to sever all cooperation with our Shui Family a few months ago?"
"Of course I remember!" Shui Chongxian's eyes were cold. Even if a few months had passed, he would still be angry when he thought of this matter.
At that time, he was just strolling around the Hundred Treasures Building. When he met Qin Yuyan, he wanted to get closer to her. He did not do anything out of line or disrespectful.
Who knew that after Qin Yuyan asked a question, she would turn hostile and ask the Hundred Treasures Building to sever all cooperation with the Shui Family?
This matter caused quite a stir at that time, and the Shui Family lost a lot of wealth because of it. For a period of time, they did not have a good life.
"The cooperation between the Hundred Treasures Building and the Chu clan must have been going on secretly for a long time. It's just that we don't know about it. Everyone knows that our Shui Family has a bad relationship with the Chu clan. Since the Hundred Treasures Building and the Chu clan have a cooperative relationship, it must be the Chu clan who caused the Hundred Treasures Building to sever all ties with our Shui Family."
"That makes sense. The cooperation between our Shui Family and the Hundred Treasures Building has always been smooth. It's unavoidable that they would sever all ties with us. It must be the Chu clan who caused this!"
"The Chu clan is actually so sinister. They've been scheming against our Shui Family and we've all fallen into their trap."
The upper echelons of the Shui Family all agreed. Instantly, the entire hall was filled with anger. Everyone pointed their spears at the Chu clan, saying how despicable and shameless the Chu clan was.
As the person involved, Shui Chongxian's anger was even more intense.
After thinking about it, he also agreed with this statement. He even felt that this matter was manipulated by Chu Xingyun. When he proposed the marriage, he could vaguely feel that Chu Xingyun had changed. He had changed into a person that he could not recognize.
"He's just a piece of trash that plays tricks. Father, why are you so angry?" Just as Shui Chongxian's anger was about to reach the heavens, a disdainful female voice sounded.
Shui Qianyue, who was wearing a dark blue dress, slowly walked into the hall. On her beautiful face, there was a mocking smile. Her aura was like a rainbow, causing everyone's gaze to tremble.
"Yue 'er, you've broken through to the Spirit Gathering Realm?" Shui Chongxian was startled at first, then he rushed to Shui Qianyue with a face full of joy. He sized her up and couldn't suppress the ecstasy on his body.
"I've already broken through a few days ago, but in order to practice the 《Nine Overlapping Waves》, I cultivated for a few more days. Now, I've completely stabilized at the first layer of Spirit Gathering Realm. I've also completely mastered the 《Nine Overlapping Waves》."
As Shui Qianyue spoke, she emitted a sense of pride.
At the age of sixteen, she possessed the cultivation of a fourth grade Wu Ling Realm. She, Shui Qianyue, was definitely the number one genius in West Wind City. No one could compete with her.
"With my current strength, participating in the Martial House selection is a piece of cake. In fact, I might even be able to become the champion. Because of me, my Shui Clan's reputation would soar. But now, you're so angry because of a trash clan. If this were to spread out, wouldn't you be throwing my face?"
Shui Qianyue had a high and mighty appearance, as if she had already obtained the position of champion. When she opened her mouth to mock the upper echelons of the Shui Family, their faces turned red and they couldn't say anything.
There were still a few months until the Martial House Selection. During this period of time, if Shui Qianyue continued to cultivate, she might really be able to obtain the position of champion and become a genius that the five great Martial Houses would fight over.
Facing a rising genius, they could only curry favor with her and didn't dare to refute.
Shui Chongxian also had an awkward expression. He lowered his voice and said: "Yue 'er, what you said makes sense. But it's better to be safe than sorry. I'll first send people to secretly infiltrate the town of Chu and check out the situation. What do you think?"
"Do as you please." A trace of displeasure flashed across Shui Qianyue's face. She said to the crowd: "I only hope that your actions will not affect my cultivation. That's all."
