Not long after, Xu Jiaorou dropped me off at the Guowei Dojo. When I got off the car, she added me on WeChat. I apologized to her again and promised that I would go to the Charming Woman Company to improve their products when I had time. Only then did Xu Jiaorou show a satisfied smile.
Coincidentally, Grandmaster Chen walked out of the dojo at this time. He glanced at Xu Jiaorou's license plate number, "Xiao Zhuang, when did you get involved with the Xu family's daughter?"
"Ah, the Xu family's daughter?" I was a bit confused. Grandmaster Chen should be referring to Xu Jiaorou, right?
"Yes, if I remember correctly, that car just now was the Xu family's daughter's car." Grandmaster Chen nodded. Seeing that I didn't know what to do, Grandmaster Chen continued to explain.
It turned out that in addition to the Peng family, Li family, and Zhang family, there was also the Xu family. This was also the most mysterious family in the capital. Even a veteran like Grandmaster Chen didn't know much about them. However, one thing was for sure. The Xu family's patriarch was the descendant of the founding marshal. Just based on this point, the other three families couldn't compare to them. In other words, the Xu family was a typical red family that held some administrative power.
I was slightly surprised. No wonder I felt that Xu Jiaorou had a special temperament. Speaking of which, she could be considered the descendant of the founding marshal. She really wasn't simple.
"To be honest, I admire you, boy. You are a martial arts genius, an alchemist genius, a medical genius, and now you have the title of 'Socialite'. Tell me, do you have any obvious shortcomings?"
Grandmaster Chen showed a gratified smile. As the saying goes, the master can show you the door, but it's up to you to practice.
Compared to the other disciples, he didn't spend much time and effort on me. On the contrary, I was self-taught. Grandmaster Chen was pleased, but at the same time, he felt embarrassed. He even felt that he had no place to use his skills. Ever since I showed off my power in the dojo challenge competition, people have been calling me every few days to congratulate me. But that was only the second reason.
Not long ago, Grandmaster Chen received a call from Sui Yunxiao, the owner of the Martial Pavilion. He expressed his full recognition and high praise for his efforts in training me. Grandmaster Chen was a bit puzzled. He thought he was referring to the biggest dark horse in the dojo challenge. But after thinking about it carefully, this "reaction arc" was too long. It had been a while since the dojo challenge, it was impossible for Sui Yunxiao to not know.
After that, Pavilion Master Sui told Grandmaster Chen about the Five Poison Sect sending people to the True Martial Pavilion to denounce them, including the sudden death of the Protector and the decision of the Five Poison Sect's leader. Grandmaster Chen was so shocked that he couldn't react for a long time.
Originally, he thought that he already knew my strength very well. Only now did he realize that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, it wasn't that there weren't examples of Jianghu people shaking the martial arts masters. However, the so-called martial arts masters were only at the bottom of the martial arts world. For example, the protector of the Five Poison Sect was already a mainstay in the martial arts world.
However, he was killed by me without any warning in front of everyone. If it wasn't for the Five Poison Sect and the Martial Pavilion keeping their mouths shut, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Since he knew that I had the Pure Yang bloodline, Grandmaster Chen guessed some clues after a short period of shock. Even so, he couldn't help but feel complacent. After all, Sui Yunxiao was like his immediate superior. He had never heard of Sui Yunxiao praising the leader of the six major martial arts schools. Grandmaster Chen could be considered to have set a precedent.
Of course, other than the superficial glory, Grandmaster Chen was also under a lot of pressure. The most critical thing was the Blood Demon incident. I don't know if the other five martial arts schools were jealous of me, but after the challenge, they started to investigate me. They wanted to find out that I had grown rapidly from my past experiences. If there was anything that they couldn't see the light of day, they wouldn't be merciful.
Because of this, Grandmaster Chen had always been in fear. If the Blood Demon's matter was exposed, he would become a sinner for all eternity. All the glory and praise he had received would turn into bubbles.
No matter what field it was, the higher you climbed, the more afraid you were of falling. Grandmaster Chen was no exception. After all, the Guo Wei Martial Arts School had a good development trend. Maybe in three to five years, it could surpass Gyeongbu Hall and become the leader of the six major martial arts schools.
This was the goal he had been looking forward to for many years. In the past, he only dared to think about it casually. Now, it was no longer a fantasy. The development of the Guo Wei Martial Arts School was gradually on the right track, and the preparation of the new arena was smoothly put on the agenda. He was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw these things.
However, just now, he received a call from Curator Du. After learning about the Witch Ye Ji's actions, Grandmaster Chen was frightened and directly called me over.
Now that things had come to this, he could only pay a visit to his old friend and see if there was any suitable countermeasure. If Witch Ye Ji was allowed to run amok, the Li Family would probably become a mess. At that time, a slight move on one part would affect the whole body, and the capital would not be peaceful.
On the way, Grandmaster Chen told me the destination of this trip — Hu Guo Temple.
Originally, I thought it would be a temple deep in the mountains and forests, but I found that the more I drove, the more prosperous it became.
Grandmaster Chen saw my surprise and began to introduce the place. Speaking of this Hu Guo Temple, it had been around for a long time. Even the surrounding buildings had a strong sense of history, which made people sigh with emotion.
Nowadays, Hu Guo Temple was most famous for its snacks. It had the nickname of Snack Street. Basically, all the snacks that could be found in the world were sold here, and it catered to all kinds of people's tastes.
