"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhong Yuanqiu was a little surprised.
"Since he chose to make a move at night, it means that with his strength, he doesn't dare to openly offend Hua Xia. After the incident, Chu Zhou City was in turmoil. Everyone saw it. As the backbone of Chu Zhou City, we can announce to the public that he has been expelled from Chu Zhou City. That way, the people won't panic, and the Zhong family's position will be further stabilized. It's the best of both worlds," Zhong Yuchen said slowly. His analysis was reasonable.
Zhong Yuanqiu frowned slightly. "Isn't that a false report?
What if that diabolical person causes trouble again? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face? "
"A false report is indeed a false report, but don't forget that kid used to make a false report in Yun City, and it worked well. At that time, the underground forces extended an olive branch to him, and he pretended to be the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is today. What's more, if he causes trouble again, we can just say that he's making a comeback, and that's it. Who would believe the words of a diabolical person?" Zhong Yuchen said calmly.
"Young Master Zhong, didn't you say that you don't care about Zhuang Feng? How do you know more than anyone else?"
At this time, someone was puzzled, and Young Master Zhong rolled his eyes. It was a simple look, but it was a strong deterrent.
"You also know that that was in the past. Although it seems that Zhuang Feng is helping Nan Yun, it's not necessarily a good thing for the Zhong family. Maybe he's ambitious and will extend his influence to Chu Zhou City in the future. With his despicable, shameless, ignorant, and incompetent character, there's nothing he won't do. By that time, the Zhong family will be forced to bow down to him, and you'll have to become his slave!" Zhong Yuchen's face was gloomy, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot.
Everyone present couldn't help but shiver, and they couldn't hide the awe on their faces.
Zhong Yuanqiu was slightly shocked, and then a smile appeared on his face. "Xiao Chen, your cultivation has improved a lot recently!"
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry. I'll prove it to you. Being in the top three of the National Roll isn't just for show," Zhong Yuchen said casually.
"Good, good, good. Then we might as well make a feint as well. Not only can we pacify the commoners, but we can also consolidate the prestige of the Zhong Family. Even if the higher-ups find out, they won't blame us!"
Zhong Yuanqiu agreed without hesitation. No matter which side he stood on, it wouldn't do the Zhong family any harm. Why not give it a try? After all, in the current situation, the Chu Zhou region couldn't function normally, and he was under a lot of pressure. He had to stabilize the situation first before things got worse.
Since the Great Ancestor of the Zhong family had spoken, the higher-ups couldn't say anything. Just as Zhong Yuchen said, this was a good plan.
The people of the Devil Dao had temporarily stopped, which undoubtedly increased the weight of the Zhong family in the province.
Zhong Yuanqiu had never expected that his nod would lead to greater turmoil, and the Zhong family would become one of the victims. However, this was all for the future, so let's not talk about it for now …
I was far away in the capital, so I didn't know what had happened to the Zhong family. To be honest, I had almost forgotten about Zhong Yuchen. After all, due to a conflict of interests, he had come to Yuncheng, hoping to sell some of the Black Mud Facial Mask's shares. Then, he had a fight with me. I didn't gain anything substantial from it. It was just a small interlude. However, after that, I seemed to have entered the Hero List of Nanyun.
Because of my neglect, there were unpredictable and fatal hidden dangers. In the face of an unknown crisis, the only thing I could do was to seize the time and improve myself.
When I came out of the underground secret room, it was already early the next morning. It seemed that Grandmaster Chen had slept on the recliner for the night to wait for me, which made me feel a little embarrassed. However, this was his small office, including the underground secret room, which was a very private place. He was willing to take me there, which showed that he trusted me.
During this half a day, I also concentrated on studying martial arts. I had to admit that I didn't have the right opportunity and environment before. Even if Director Du spared no effort to help me, I still didn't meet my expectations.
As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialization. Grandmaster Chen, as the number one Internal Force practitioner in Hua Xia, was really not just for show. Perhaps I didn't understand it before, but after half a day, I realized that Grandmaster Chen was indeed worthy of his reputation. On that row of bookshelves, almost all the secret martial arts books had been annotated, including the things that needed to be paid attention to when practicing. One couldn't start blindly, or it would be easy to fall into the wrong path.
To put it simply, if I followed his experience, I could take fewer detours and cultivate more efficiently. The feeling of wholeheartedly immersing myself in the book was quite good. It was as if my mind and thoughts had become one with Grandmaster Chen's words. I even unconsciously analyzed them myself. Although I wasn't as skilled and experienced as Grandmaster Chen, the final result was the same.
Every time I achieved this result, my understanding of inner strength would also steadily improve. Although I had achieved outstanding results, I didn't neglect the contents of these secret manuals. Different from the knowledge in the textbooks in school, martial arts was more about personal understanding. One had to have one's own understanding. If one were to blindly follow the books, there would be a situation where one's cultivation would stagnate. If one wanted to surpass the master, that would be even more unrealistic.
Because of this, Grandmaster Chen didn't teach them in too much detail. Instead, he gave his disciples enough space. However, in the eyes of most of the disciples, this was a sign of irresponsibility. After all, they wanted to teach their disciples step by step. They didn't expect the next generation to become stronger than the previous one.
In Grandmaster Chen's eyes, these people were simply unmotivated. In order to promote the development of Internal Force, there must be a genius who was brave enough to take the lead. Without a doubt, I was that person. Although I didn't win the championship in the dojo challenge competition, I became the uncrowned king!
"Xiao Zhuang, I have good news for you. According to Nan Yun, the Blood Demons have been driven out of Chu Zhou City." Grandmaster Chen said something surprising.
"What …" I was a little confused. Yesterday afternoon, I heard that the Blood Demons had destroyed three martial arts families and caused a lot of controversy. How come they were driven out of Chu Zhou City in less than a day? Could it be that some unknown big shot made a move?
"Master, are you joking?" I was a little puzzled.
"I thought it was strange too, but Director Du called me early in the morning and said that the Zhong family of Chu Zhou City had driven away the Demon Cultivators. As for the credibility of the news, he didn't dare to say it was a hundred percent reliable," Grandmaster Chen said in a low voice.
