In the courtyard of the Zhu family, the high-level officials of the Zhu family gathered, and their faces were extremely solemn.

In terms of strength, the Zhu family is not necessarily the most powerful of the four great families.

But if it is inherited, the Zhu family must be the oldest one, it is said that the ancestors can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, and even the surname Zhu of the Ming Dynasty royal family is inextricably linked.

Therefore, within the Zhu family, the elder clan system that has long been abolished by the general forces is still retained.

"This is the notification I just received. ”

Zhu Jingyi, the head of the Zhu family, raised his hand and pushed a secret document with a secret stamp in front of the elders, and said with a calm expression: "What do you think." ”

The elders of the Zhu family, the moment they saw the bright red secret poke, they couldn't help but change their faces slightly: "It was issued in the name of the Heavenly Supervisor?"

The Zhu family has a long history, and it is involved in both the outer and inner worlds, so it naturally knows the existence of the Heavenly Supervisor.

And the content of the secret document made everyone change their colors, and they all lost their voices: "The youngest major general of the republic, the new patron saint of the northern plains, less than twenty... Peerless Grandmaster?"

For most people, just the first identity is enough to subvert their three views, challenge their common sense, and shock ordinary people physically and mentally.

On the contrary, the latter two identities are mostly symbolic and cannot be understood by ordinary people.

But for a family like the Zhu family with a martial arts heritage, they couldn't be more aware of the terrifying meaning behind a grandmaster who was less than twenty years old.

That means a behemoth in the martial arts world, a walking humanoid missile, second only to the superpower of a very small number of modern weapons such as nuclear bombs!

Launching a missile nuclear bomb also requires calibrated navigation, and it may be intercepted halfway, but how can a mere human intercept it?

This also means that only a few senior makeup artists are enough for Chen Xiao to turn into any identity and sneak into any country almost without hindrance!

"Judging from the news, this Sect Master Chen seems to want to attack the Qiao family, and our Zhu family may be able to take this opportunity to win the favor of the other party. ”

Soon, with the unanimous approval of the elders, Zhu Jingyi, the head of the Zhu family, made a decision to send Zhu Chongshan, the elder of the Zhu family, to visit the grandmaster on the bank of the Qinhuai River with a meeting gift.

......

"The new Patron Saint of the Northern Plains, a grandmaster who is not yet twenty years old?"

is one of the four major families, but the atmosphere of the Li family is completely different.

The head of the Li family looked at the information on the table, and couldn't help but look at an old man in black beside him: "Nan Lao, how much credibility do you think this information has?"

Nan Lao's whole body was wrapped in a black robe, his breath was faint, and he laughed strangely at this time: "Although the old man has only cultivated the acquired cultivation of qi and has been hidden for decades, the basic laws of martial arts cultivation are still understood. ”

He paused for a few seconds, and his tone became more and more disdainful: "If you want to break through the Heavenly Qi before the age of twenty, it is even more difficult, and a Grandmaster who is less than twenty is just a joke." ”

"Please also ask Nan Lao for advice. "The head of the Li family gave up.

"The old man once heard that the guardian saint of the northern plains was approaching, but he never found a successor. And even if the average martial artist who has achieved cultivation is not a grandmaster, most of his life deeds can be checked, so the government can only choose to create a grandmaster by himself. ”

"An ordinary Grandmaster is not enough, it must be a strong enough Grandmaster, so the country will come up with this so-called Grandmaster Chen. ”

"He was still an innate cultivator a month ago, even if he broke through the Grandmaster, he was just an ordinary Grandmaster, how could he be qualified to succeed as the Guardian Saint of the Northern Plains?"

As the old man spoke, a divine wheel vaguely flashed behind him, like a divine ring, exuding a terrifying divine power that made people's hearts palpitate.

It's just that the head of the Li family didn't notice this.

Of course, since he is the spokesperson of the state, he can't be completely neglected, and the old man is willing to send a small gift on behalf of the head of the family. ”

"In that case, there is Lao Nan. The head of the Li family bowed again.

No one noticed that there was a strong glint in Nan Lao's eyes: 'Zhang Yongwang, Zhang Yongwang, finally let the old man wait for this day, let your successor bear the hatred of the year!'

Back then, if Zhang Yongwang hadn't taken his chance, he might have even advanced to the realm of the Grandmaster half a step earlier than Zhang Yongwang!

......

After receiving Liu Qizhou's secret reminder, many great families and forces in Jinling took action one by one.

Some people believed it and wanted to go to Sect Master Chen to say goodbye, while others thought it was grandstanding and disdained it and instantly left it behind.

If you can overlook Jinling from the air, you will find that at this moment, many luxury cars are racing all the way, gathering towards the Qinhuai River.

Even if the participants of the riverside tea party have not noticed, the outside world has already surged, and the shocking power is being attracted by the existence of a person!

This night, the most frequent appearance in the mouths of many bigwigs in Jinling City is three words-

Grandmaster Chen!

......

In the manor on the banks of the Qinhuai River, a small auction has just begun.

On the bank of the river, the night lights turn, the fish and dragons dance, and the rippling water waves look more and more dreamy in the night.

One by one, the lots were presented on a high platform, and from time to time, there were rich children talking, laughing, drinking tea, and commenting.

"Young master, I'm sorry I lost my temper. ”

At this time, Qiao Shiqing finally stopped her surging emotions and said with some surprise.

The dignified tulip queen has always been resolute and domineering, when has she ever shown such a little daughter's appearance in front of others?

"It doesn't matter. Chen Xiao shook his head and said lightly, "When it comes time to make a move on the Qiao family, I will leave the opportunity to you." ”

Qiao Shiqing's delicate body trembled, and after a long time, she nodded slowly, and said astringently: "Thank you young master for your success." ”

Chen Xiao knew very well that as Liyun became bigger and bigger, his parents would inevitably need enough strong manpower, but his main mind was still on cultivation, and he didn't know anything about business.

Therefore, Qiao Shiqing, the queen of Jinling, became the best person to help his parents manage Liyun.

It's just that before this, Qiao Shiqing had to take refuge in him because of the situation, and in order for Qiao Shiqing to truly return to his heart, he still needs a suitable opportunity.

Although Chen Xiao could also use some secret methods to control his soul at this time, he didn't want to use this method of exterminating humanity unless he had to.

"The next lot is the superb treasure jade 'Ice and Fire Double Heaven' provided by Qiao Zifang of the Qiao family, with a starting price of 500,000 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan. ”

At this moment, the soft and glutinous voice of the emcee sounded, which made many men subconsciously swallow their saliva and look at the pair of emcees who were turbulent.

Since the real significance of this auction is more about showing off and comparing between the powerful and celebrities, each lot will deliberately report the name of the sender before it is submitted, so as to show its own taste.

However, Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, and his face showed a strange expression: "This piece of yin and yang jade was actually sent by the Qiao family?"
