Chapter 514: Chapter 515: His Name is Xiao Chen!_1

Spies from various family clans all traveled to Shi Family Village to gather information.

However, Shi Xingfan and those twelve Martial Dao Masters did not mention a word about what had happened in Tianhai City.

The twelve Martial Dao Masters turned away visitors, partly to heal their wounds, but also because Shi Xingfan had instructed them not to meet with anyone and not to disclose anything that had occurred in Tianhai.

In fact, these twelve people didn’t really know what had happened either; they only knew there was a terrifying entity behind Xiao Chen, who could send them all to Ghost Gate with a single move.

Even Clan Leader Shi Xingfan was no match for that person.

About this, Shi Xingfan did not keep it a secret but deliberately spread the word.

On one hand, it could alleviate some of the public pressure on Shi Family Village, and on the other, it served to deter those people from the north from causing trouble in Tianhai City rashly.

But what he hadn’t expected was that this incident still caused a huge uproar in Shi Family Village.

Another Martial Arts Grandmaster of Shi Family Village, Shi Xingzu, actually publicly criticized him for being cowardly and incompetent, hoping he would step down as clan leader.

What’s more, not just one person followed Shi Xingzu; a great majority chose to stand by Shi Xingzu’s side, trying to force him to step down.

And there appeared some mysterious experts beside Shi Xingzu.

This significantly bolstered Shi Xingzu’s faction with strength.

Looking at Shi Xingzu, Shi Xingfan’s eyes did not show fear or despair but rather a sense of regret.

A revered Shi Family Village, a distinguished Martial Arts Grandmaster, so easily bought over, willing to become someone else’s enforcer.

"Step aside, Shi Xingfan, let me handle the situations you cannot handle!

The people you cannot kill, I will kill them!"

Shi Xingzu looked coldly at Shi Xingfan and said.

"You must not go to Tianhai."

Shi Xingfan said, "Even though your judgement is clouded, you are still one of us, a person of Shi Family Village. I don’t want to see you perish there!"

"Coward, spineless!"

Shi Xingzu said, "Since you no longer have the courage of your youth, just stay home and enjoy your retirement happily. From now on, Shi Family Village will flourish under my leadership.

The legacy of Shi Family Fist will be passed on through me!

Yes, I have aligned with an aristocratic clan, but it is for the good of Shi Family Village.

The times have changed, and Shi Family Village needs to update its ways!"

"Update, indeed, it is time for an update!"

Shi Xingfan suddenly erupted with an overwhelming aura: "Shi Xingzu, accept defeat!"

He charged towards Shi Xingzu like a cheetah.

Both were Martial Arts Grandmasters, but Shi Xingzu could only withstand three moves in front of Shi Xingfan.

This demonstrated the terror of Shi Xingfan.

"From today onward, reflect on your actions at home and soon enough you will realize how foolish you have been," Shi Xingfan said coldly, glancing at Shi Xingzu. "The people behind you used Shi Family Village to no avail this time, but they will surely send others to Tianhai.

Let’s wait and see what the outcome will be."

Then he looked at the others, "Starting today, anyone who leaves Shi Family Village without urgent cause will be expelled from the family clan!

And you, outsiders, get lost, go back and tell your masters not to fantasize about using Shi Family Village anymore.

We, Shi Family Village, indeed need to make money and innovate, but not by becoming anyone’s slave.

Get lost!"

Shi Xingzu had brought many experts with him, but upon witnessing the terrifying power of Shi Xingfan, they abandoned any intention to resist.

They left Shi Family Village.

Shi Xingzu was placed under house arrest, and Shi Family Village began martial law.

No outsider was allowed in unless they had the permission of the Clan Leader, Shi Xingfan.

The spies from various major clans, attempting to gather information through Shi Family Village, were at a loss.

They could only report back the situation they observed.

All they found out was that behind the Xiao Family, there was a protector even more fearsome than Shi Xingfan.

Other than that, they knew nothing.

At the same time.

It was the same Holiday Manor, the same pavilion, and still, one person sat while another stood.

"Qiangong, is everything you’ve told me the truth?"

The seated person asked.

Qiangong bowed with his hands clasped and said, "My lord, everything I’ve said is factual—the twelve Martial Dao Masters from Shi Family Village plus Shi Xingfan, the Martial Arts Grandmaster.

They entered Tianhai City with great fanfare, only to slink back to Shi Family Village overnight.

The secrecy of Tianhai was so tight that we didn’t even know what happened that night.

The only thing we know is that both Shi Xingfan and those twelve Martial Dao Masters were injured."

"Do you think there really could be someone stronger than Shi Xingfan?"

The seated person remained composed, sipping tea as he asked.

"It’s hard to judge!"

Qiangong shook his head and said, "It’s possible that the Shi Family Village reached some sort of agreement with the Xiao Family, thus releasing a smokescreen.

Alternatively, it could be that the Shi Family members didn’t meet anyone from the Xiao Family at all but sensed our intentions and took a detour before returning home."

"Mmm, your analysis makes sense. Continue the investigation,"

said the seated person lightly. "Don’t overlook any clues; I believe there are no walls in this world that can’t be breached.

You should know, I despise being in the fog; I like to have everything under my control.

Whether the Xiao Family in Jiangnan has any masters protecting them, and what exactly transpired in Tianhai City that night.

I want you to investigate everything thoroughly, using all the resources you can muster!"

"Yes!"

Qiangong turned and left.

The person sitting there frowned slightly, "Quite the Xiao Family of Jiangnan, I knew you couldn’t have risen so quickly in such a short time without something up your sleeve.

I didn’t expect you’d even take down Shi Xingfan!

But do you think this is over?"

Empire Building.

Di Tianjiao sat in her office, staring out the window in a daze, feeling somewhat downcast.

In recent days, she visited Xiao Enze and Shang Qingcheng, the parents of Xiao Chen, at the Xiao Family but was turned away at the door.

They said the elders had gone on a long journey and were not at home.

Watching a despondent Di Tianjiao, the secretary suddenly felt a twinge of sympathy.

In fact, she had a lot of information from the Southern Region, which she hadn’t reported to Di Tianjiao.

Especially among those reports, was the name "Xiao Chen."

And this Xiao Chen was the very person Di Tianjiao yearned for day and night.

She didn’t want this man to be the ruin of Di Tianjiao.

But today, she found it hard to hold back.

"President, look at this!"

She couldn’t bear to see Di Tianjiao fret every day.

Some things are better dealt with quickly to avoid prolonged pain!

"What?"

Di Tianjiao looked surprised.

"The husband of Jiang Meng! His name is Xiao Chen!"

The secretary finally spoke out.

Di Tianjiao became excited in an instant, she took the document and looked it over carefully, but, unfortunately, found no photograph of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen seemed to be forever camera-shy, as if neither television nor newspapers could capture his likeness.

"President, don’t get too happy, this might not be the person you’re looking for.

You and I were both classmates of Xiao Chen when we were kids.

I know that guy’s temperament; he is not the type to be a son-in-law living off his wife’s family.

Yet this Xiao Chen mentioned in the news is the son-in-law of Xinmeng Group."

Secretary Hualing reminded her.
