Chapter 69: Chapter 68 Chaos Ensues

"Rushi, how are Su Yun and the others doing in their Martial Dao cultivation under your guidance lately?"

After these burly men went to the kitchen, Brother Xuan asked what’s been on his mind.

"Martial Dao?"

"Hmm!"

"Sister Wanqiu is a bit lacking in this area, but Little Sister Yun is quite good. After many days of cultivation, she achieved some results yesterday. At her current pace, she can reach the rank of Martial Artist in at most half a year."

"Half a year!"

Brother Xuan was somewhat surprised by this little girl’s talent.

"Indeed! Little Sister Yun’s talent is quite impressive."

Actually, in her heart, she was also very surprised. She knew that when she had reached the rank of Martial Artist, it took her nearly a year, even under Master Chen’s guidance.

She was no match for Master Chen.

In this way, Su Yun’s talent was considerably higher than hers; it was just that she started her cultivation too late.

At this moment, Brother Xuan’s heart was also stirred. He hadn’t expected this little girl to have such a high cultivation talent.

Moreover,

facts proved that his speculation was correct.

This meant that as Su Yun’s strength grew, the points gained would increase as well.

"Young Master? Young Master?"

Liu Rushi saw him dazing off, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curled up, giving her the impression of a child eating candy.

"Hmm...? What’s going on?" Brother Xuan’s thoughts were pulled back by her.

"What did you think of that’s making you so happy? Can you tell me so that I can be happy too?" Liu Rushi was full of curiosity.

"Oh nothing, nothing, just a bit surprised by Yun’Er’s talent."

Brother Xuan chuckled.

But Liu Rushi was obviously skeptical, showing a disdainful expression.

"Never mind then. You can just play with Xiaobai here. I’m off to work."

"Rushi, thank you for your efforts."

"Tch!"

Liu Rushi rolled her eyes at him.

"Truly beautiful! Captivatingly beautiful!" Looking at her hourglass figure and that glance just now, Brother Xuan was filled with admiration.

After spending so much time together, their relationship had become almost like friends.

Brother Xuan called her Rushi.

However, she still called him Young Master, even though Brother Xuan told her to call him Brother Xuan or Brother Xuan, Liu Rushi refused, saying she was accustomed to calling him Young Master.

Compared to the tranquility of the Chen Mansion, one could only guess how chaotic Yunze County was at this time.

Discussions were rampant about the position of the West District Hall Master.

At this moment in the Chen Family.

"So you’re saying that in addition to the Yao Family, there is another person?"

It was Chen Fangyuan who spoke, his square face and thick eyebrows giving an impression of integrity.

He was now the one steering the Chen Family.

"Yes, Father. It’s Yao Tian’s people investigating the situation of another person that leaked this information."

"Moreover, now this information should be known by the other families in the county."

"After finding out about this, I also sent someone to investigate this person, but found no information at all."

Chen Fangyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Qi was his eldest son, meticulous in handling affairs, and now most of the Chen Family matters were managed by him.

Of course, the most important thing was his decent talent in Martial Dao, already reaching the Seventh Grade Realm.

It was no wonder he was appointed the next Patriarch of the Chen Family.

"Could it be the Pei Family?"

However, faced with his inquiry, Chen Qi shook his head, "It shouldn’t be. I have spies in the Pei Family who have been monitoring them these days, and the Pei Family has had no movements. Not only that, Pei Hu was quite shocked by this news."

He confirmed this with the spies in the Pei Family, who said that based on Pei Hu’s behavior at the time, he didn’t seem to be acting.

"Which family could it be then?"

Chen Fangyuan also couldn’t figure out which family it could be. After all, the three major families in Yunze County had the strongest power.

If not the Pei Family, then who?

Back then, they also wanted to contend for the position of West District Hall Master.

They even prepared lavish gifts when visiting Zuo Qiu Ming.

However, they were a step late, beaten by the Yao Family.

As for the other two in the black market, Primordial Thunder didn’t need mentioning. He rarely intervened in the positions of the district hall masters.

After all, the East District Hall Master was already his person. For so many years, the other three districts kept rotating, but the East District never changed.

Even when the term was over, no one had designs on the hall master position.

As for the other person, they hadn’t even seen them, only knowing their surname was Chen, with no other information.

Back when Primordial Thunder announced this news, other forces in Yunze County even thought it was their Chen Family’s member.

As a result, their Chen Family was able to bluff once.

"Let’s wait and see. Not many days left until the truth is revealed."

"Understood, Father."

"Let’s hope it’s not the Yao Family. If it is, then the Yao Family would truly monopolize Yunze County."

Chen Fangyuan showed concern.

The Yao Family had been developing too vigorously these years.

They not only had close ties with Zuo Qiu Ming but also had connections with prominent figures in Celestial Water Commandery.

In these years, both the Chen Family and Pei Family were somewhat overshadowed.

Furthermore, many small families that previously had good relations with them had pledged allegiance to the Yao Family.

If this time they succeed in claiming the West District Hall Master position, even more small families would seek favors with the Yao Family, for after all, the West District was such a large piece of fertile land, who wouldn’t want a bite?

Under that circumstance...

Seeing his father’s increasingly grim expression, Chen Qi of course understood what his father was concerned about in the current situation.

Thus, he took the lead to ask, "Father, I think there is no need to worry too much."

"Oh?" Chen Fangyuan was puzzled, wondering why he thought so, and thus asked, "Tell me your thoughts."

"Yes! Based on my conjecture, the Yao Family has met with Zuo Qiu Ming for some time now. According to Zuo Qiu Ming’s stature, if he had indeed promised this position, then the other two in the black market would likely wouldn’t refuse him."

"But now? Another person has appeared to vie for this position."

"This makes it interesting. As for Primordial Thunder, the possibility is low. The only possible one is the mysterious Master Chen we’ve never met!"

After listening to his analysis, Chen Fangyuan nodded, considering this possibility quite likely.

Looking at his son with a smile in his eyes, he felt increasingly pleased. The Chen Family in his hands could indeed be trusted.

However...

"Go visit the Pei Family now. In this situation, I reckon they are even more distressed than us. Discuss if we can find the person competing with the Yao Family for the hall master position, and even if it requires some sacrifice, it’s worth it."

"Yes, Father!"

After Chen Qi left, Chen Fangyuan, seated in the chair, his gaze became profound, with a hint of ferocity.

...

Meanwhile, in the Pei Family.

Pei Hu was also at a loss, just as Chen Qi’s spy observed. He was genuinely shocked.

Initially, he thought,

that the position was already something the Yao Family had in the bag.

After all, they also received news immediately when Yao De went to visit Zuo Qiu Ming, but who would have thought that someone else would emerge at the last moment!
