Chapter 407: 407

In the Nine Gates of Yandu, aside from the Lu Family and Ye Family, individuals from the other seven gates had arrived.

Apart from the people of these seven top-tier noble families, some from slightly lesser families also came, but with the presence of the representatives from the Nine Gates, they were only fit to stay far away.

The representatives from the arrived seven gates were all observing and did not want to take the initiative to knock on the villa’s door,

It wasn’t that they did not wish to knock, but rather, the family elders had specifically instructed that they must not disturb the rest of the people in the villa before dawn.

When the news that Tang Yue’er was a King Realm Strong was released, it was already midnight, and it took a long time after the major noble families held emergency meetings.

At this time, dawn was also approaching, and a light pale glow of dawn had already begun appearing to the east.

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Tang Yue’er’s face was full of anxiety. Even though the noise outside had diminished, it still caught her attention.

"Big Brother Qin, what on earth has happened to you? Please wake up quickly, I really don’t know how to deal with what’s going to happen next."

"Big Brother Qin, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t exposed my cultivation in front of the Wang Family and Jiang Family, I wouldn’t have brought you such big trouble."

"Big Brother Qin, many people have come outside, they must all be here for me. If they want me to join their families, how should I refuse them?"

"Big Brother Qin, am I too useless? I don’t even know how to solve a little trouble, if it were you, you would certainly have solved it easily, wouldn’t you?"

...

Tang Yue’er sat next to Qin Chuan, her hands constantly tightly gripping his. She didn’t know how to awaken Qin Chuan, she only knew that the Celestial Yin Energy within her was beneficial to him.

Since Qin Chuan had fallen into a coma, she had been trying to guide the Celestial Yin Energy within her body into Qin Chuan’s, but to no avail.

Now Qin Chuan was like a hedgehog protecting itself, not allowing even a bit of Celestial Yin Energy to enter.

As dawn approached, Tang Yue’er’s anxiety intensified.

Meanwhile, outside, the representatives from the various noble families saw the light in the east becoming brighter and eventually could not wait any longer.

"It seems everyone here shares the same purpose of wanting the King Realm Cultivation strong individual to join their respective noble families. Since that’s the case, why don’t we have a fair competition?"

Finally, someone spoke up.

The speaker was a young man around thirty years old, followed by a plainly dressed elderly man behind him, from whom a faint but potent pressure emanated.

Clearly, this plainly dressed elderly man was a top-tier strong figure.

Another young man spoke up, "Mu Jiang, if you have a suggestion, let everyone hear it."

Mu Jiang smiled slightly and said, "The major noble families can each arrange for someone to talk with that strong individual, and then let that individual decide which family they will ultimately join."

"Moreover, I hope no matter if you succeed in persuading the strong individual to join your families or not, no one will take back the gifts they give, okay?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned sour.

"Mu Jiang, it’s boring for you to say that. We all come from the Nine Gates and are broad-minded people. Why would we ever take back the gifts we’ve given?"

A young man around thirty sneered.

The others also nodded, Mu Jiang’s remarks seemed to imply that if the strong individual refused to join their families, they would take back the gifts they had given.

"Haha, my apologies, I misspoke!"

Mu Jiang was not offended and laughed heartily, then added, "If no one has any objections, then let’s discuss who shall go in first?"

Seeing that no one objected, Mu Jiang suddenly turned to a peer, smiling as he asked, "Brother Lin, do you have any good suggestions?"

Known as Brother Lin, Lin Yuanzhou was among the foremost of Yandu’s Nine Gates Lin Family younger generation, thirty years old with cultivation at the Peak Realm of Dark Energy.

He was also the most talented individual among the younger generation present.

Lin Yuanzhou spoke expressionlessly, "Since Brother Murong has thought of letting everyone talk to that strong individual one by one, you must have already considered who shall go first, right? Murong, there’s no need to be secretive anymore, just say it directly. If no one has a better idea, let’s proceed as you suggested."

"Haha, since Brother Lin has said as much, I won’t hold back anymore."

Murong Jiang burst out laughing and said, "I think no matter who goes to talk to that strong individual first, others will have objections; hence, let’s decide the sequence by drawing lots, how about it?"

Lin Yuanzhou nodded, taking the lead in his stance, "That’s acceptable!"

With his stance, others also agreed it was acceptable.

"Since everyone has no objections, then let’s decide the sequence by drawing lots."

Seeing everyone’s agreement, Murong Jiang casually broke six branches of about eighteen centimeters each from a nearby tree and with another hand clenched, seemingly casually waved it, and those six branches were cut diagonally, ordered from short to long.

Then, gripping the branches in his hand, he thrust them forward fiercely, and the six branches went into the ground neatly, with only five centimeters showing on the surface.

This feat stunned everyone present.

Lin Yuanzhou looked deeply at Murong Jiang, initially thinking that among the young generation present, he was the closest to reaching the Energizing Skill, yet it turned out that Murong Jiang had reached this step as well.

Murong Jiang smiled slightly, "Please go ahead, I’ll draw last!"

The tools for drawing were made by him; rightfully, he should be the last—quite fair.

Soon, people from various major families each pulled out a branch from the ground, with Murong Jiang being the last.

Murong Jiang looked at a young man and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, you are the first, congratulations!"

Brother Liu, naturally, was of the Liu family from the Nine Gates of Yandu.

At that moment, all eyes were on him, many filled with mockery.

Although everyone present was anxious to talk to Tang Yue’er, no one wanted to go first.

No one knew what kind of person Tang Yue’er was, nor could anyone guarantee that Tang Yue’er wouldn’t simply kill the first person to knock on her door in a fit of rage.

"Liu Jun, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and knock on the door!"

"Yeah, since you drew the longest stick, according to the rules, you’re the first. Stop dilly-dallying and just go knock on the door."

...

Suddenly, everyone began urging him on.

Liu Jun’s complexion turned extremely pale, his forehead covered in sweat.

Facing everyone’s urging, he gritted his teeth and could only toughen up and head towards the villa.

But just then, a group of strong individuals hidden in the shadows suddenly rushed out, instantly blocking the entrance to the villa.

"Scram!"

The next second, a voice filled with anger sounded.

Following that, a dark figure instantly appeared in front of Liu Jun, raising a hand to strike down with a palm, and with a "bang" sound, Liu Jun was sent flying.
