The Shui Family Makes a Move
Alchemy was about progressing step by step, and it was even more important to maintain a calm and peaceful mind.
That was why Gu Qing Shan personally stood guard outside the secret room and sent out so many experts to maintain order in the Hundred Treasures Building. It was all to ensure that Qin Yuyan and Chu Xingyun would have the best environment for alchemy.
But unlike the silence in the Hundred Treasures Building, the Shui Family was in an uproar.
In the main hall of the Shui Family, all the higher-ups gathered again.
Recently, the Shui Family had been holding a lot of family meetings, and the main topic of discussion was Chu Xingyun. This time was no exception.
But unlike the past, Shui Qianyue was also present in this meeting.
"According to reliable sources, Chu Xingyun went to the Hundred Treasures Building to find Qin Yuyan to refine pills. During the process, Chu Xingyun forced his way into the secret room and interrupted Gu Qing Shan and Qin Yuyan's private conversation. But in the end, Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and apologized. He even stood guard outside the secret room, saying that he wanted to make up for his mistake."
"When the incident happened, many people were in the Hundred Treasures Building. Not only did they see Qin Shan bowing to Chu Xingyun, they also saw that Chu Xingyun's cultivation had reached the Eighth Sky of Body Tempering Stage."
"Ever since Gu Qing Shan made his stance clear, other than our Shui family, all the other families in West Wind City have expressed their goodwill to the Chu family, expressing their willingness to cooperate with them. Some families have even isolated our Shui family in order to curry favor with the Chu family"
… …
The voices echoed in the main hall, causing Shui Chongxian's face to turn gloomy. Shui Qianyue was even more embarrassed. She could clearly feel that many of the higher-ups were blaming her.
No one would have thought that Chu Zhen would be able to reach where he was today. If Shui Qianyue wasn't so arrogant and domineering when facing Chu Xingyun, perhaps Chu Xingyun would have been willing to marry Shui Qianyue, and their Shui Clan would have been able to take advantage of the situation to rise up, becoming the strongest clan in West Wind City.
Even if that wasn't the case, the Shui Family had already decided to send men to suppress the Chu Family.
It was Shui Qianyue who felt that the Chu Clan was nothing to be afraid of and couldn't be bothered to send people to suppress the Chu Clan. She even said that if they were to target the Chu Clan, the Shui Clan would be looked down upon and cursed by others.
Now, reality slapped Shui Qianyue hard in the face.
The Chu family had completely prospered, not only did they obtain the support of so many families, even Gu Qing Shan, the City Lord of West Wind City had to express his goodwill. Anyone could predict, in the next few years, just how terrifying the Chu family's development would be!
Shui Qianyue definitely had a part to play in this matter. Many of the upper echelons of the Shui Family were dissatisfied with her, and even Shui Qianyue was infuriated. He felt that Shui Qianyue was too arrogant.
"All of you, shut up!" At this time, Shui Qianyue suddenly roared, scaring the gossiping members of the Shui Family and causing them to shut their mouths.
Shui Qianyue coldly glanced at the crowd. Because of anger, her face was somewhat distorted, making her look somewhat ferocious.
"A trash family, even if they obtained the support of Gu Qing Shan and the other families, it's only on the surface. They don't have any foundation, they don't have any experts, they can't be compared to our Shui Family. When I obtain the first place in the Martial House selection, even Gu Qing Shan will have to bow down to us. A mere Chu Clan, I can easily crush them."
Hearing Shui Qianyue's words, many people went silent. Only a resentful voice could be heard, "Chu Xingyun's cultivation isn't weak, if he is also selected by the five great Martial Houses …"
These words caused the hearts of the upper echelons of the Shui Family to twitch.
They suddenly remembered that when Chu Xingyun married Shui Liu Xiang, they made a promise of one year. One year later, they would let Shui Qianyue know who was the frog at the bottom of the well.
Now, more than half of the one year period had passed, and the Martial House selection was about to begin. With Chu Xingyun's current cultivation speed, he might really be selected!
Shui Qianyue coldly snorted, looking at the panicking upper echelons of the Shui Family with disdain, "There are no shortcuts in martial cultivation. For Chu Xingyun to be able to increase his cultivation so quickly, he must have taken some pills with extreme side effects. At most, he's just an empty shell with no real strength."
"Moreover, as long as I'm here, even if he has three heads and six arms, he won't be selected by the five great Martial Houses. Do you think that he can defeat me?"
As she spoke, Shui Qianyue's eyes turned icy blue, and a blue fox shadow appeared behind her. The water light wreaked havoc like a tide, causing the upper echelons of the Shui Family to feel their hearts palpitating.
Second Sky of Spirit Gathering Realm!
After this period of bitter cultivation, Shui Qianyue broke through again and stepped into the second sky of Spirit Gathering Realm. Such a terrifying cultivation speed, it was beyond everyone's imagination.
Shui Chongxian thought for a while, and finally said, "Regarding Chu Xingyun's matter, it's useless for us to worry about it now. Let Qianyue handle it. If not, we can still ask the Dreamy Cloud Martial House for help."
Hearing the words Dreamy Cloud Martial House, the upper echelons of the Shui Family were relieved. That's right, no matter how bad the situation was, as long as the Dreamy Cloud Martial House stepped in, it would be easily resolved.
"However." Shui Chongxian changed the topic, and said, "We can't let the Chu Family continue to develop, or else it will become a problem in the future."
This time, Shui Qianyue did not say anything. She obviously felt threatened.
"Because of the alchemy matter, the entire West Wind City's attention is on the Hundred Treasures House. The Chu Family can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader. As long as this storm passes, the Chu Family will definitely enter a period of vacuum."
"We have to grab this opportunity before the Chu Family recruits any experts. We have to catch them off guard. If we can kill them, then kill them. If we can rob them, then rob them. Don't show any mercy."
Shui Chongxian's face had a trace of ruthlessness. He had long wanted to take action against the Chu Family. Now that there was an opportunity in front of him, he would definitely not let it go. The Chu Family now only had wealth but no strength. They were like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Second brother!"
His gaze fell on a black-clothed man. His name was Shui Chongde, Shui Chongxian's younger brother. His cultivation was at the third sky of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and he was in charge of doing dirty things.
"In these few days, gather all the secret forces of our Shui Family and wait for the opportunity to take action. This time, you will disguise yourselves as bandits. You must not let anyone know that it's our Shui Family. You must do it secretly."
"Leave this matter to me!" Shui Chongde's face was filled with confidence. After all these years of development, the Shui Family had secretly nurtured many experts. If all of them were gathered, there would be more than forty Spirit Gathering Realm experts.
