"Yes," Chen Zifeng explained, "the Young Master is the Young Master of the entire Chen family, second only to the Family Head."
"Let me tell you..." Chen Zifeng then recounted her day: "If it weren't for the Young Master, I would have been finished. Because of the Young Master's words, I not only got a promotion and a raise, but I also got a long vacation."
"People from the Chen family even came to my parents' door and gave them a good scolding, improving my living conditions. Otherwise, how would I have been in the mood to come out to eat with you?"
Kong Xirong: "..."
The people in the livestream: "..."
The people in the livestream: "We had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't expect that Young Master Chen's identity and background to be so significant."
The fact that someone worth hundreds of millions knelt before Chen Jiuyang completely stunned them.
"Rongrong, what a shame. If you had been a little nicer just now, you might have become the wealthy wife you've always dreamed of."
Kong Xirong's face immediately turned red. She felt regret and complexity in her heart. If she had managed to connect with Chen Jiuyang just now, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life.
But who would have thought that such a prominent young master from a wealthy family would come to eat at a roadside food stall like this?
Kong Xirong felt like she had missed out on two hundred million.
Chen Zifeng looked at her best friend's expression and asked, "Rongrong, were you sitting at the same table as the Young Master just now?"
Kong Xirong nodded with a bitter expression and recounted what had happened.
Chen Zifeng sighed regretfully, "Young Masters like him are not short of women. Let me tell you, when the Young Master came to Suhang today, I heard that many people sent their daughters to see him, but they couldn't even get to see him. Rongrong, you're luckier than them."
She knew her best friend's intentions. She was not bad-looking and had substance. Many agents had tried to recruit her as a star, but she had refused them all, wanting only to marry a young master from a wealthy family and become a wealthy wife.
But Chen Zifeng knew very well that important figures like the Young Master would never fancy ordinary girls like them, who were merely common beauties.
In the car.
Chen Jiuyang asked, "Granny Hui, tell me, what is it that requires me to go back?"
Granny Hui said with a serious expression, "Young Master Chen, prepare yourself. Our Sacred Cult has a Sacred Son and a Sacred Daughter. Generally, our Sacred Cult's Sacred Daughter marries the Sacred Son. However, the previous Sacred Daughter would rather marry a commoner and commit suicide than marry the current Sacred Son, so this rule was broken."
"The current Sacred Daughter brought you back to the Sacred Cult and released information that she is very fond of you. The Sacred Son's faction is restless and has already sent people to cause trouble for you. The higher-ups have issued an order for me to bring you back, and this is also the intention of the Sacred Daughter's maternal grandmother."
Chen Jiuyang sneered, "I understand."
He was already in a bad mood, and if someone dared to cause trouble for him, he would see who would have the last laugh.
They drove back to the forest area where the Han family of the True Demon Cult resided.
Under the calm night sky, undercurrents surged. The small courtyard where Chen Jiuyang lived was already filled with dense crowds.
The people of the Han family of the True Demon Cult in Suhang wore dark blue attire. Qiu Yihan's maternal grandmother sat on a stone chair, slowly sipping a cup of tea.
Opposite her sat and stood a group of people from the True Demon Cult dressed in fiery red clothes.
Clearly, this was the Sacred Son's faction.
Granny Hui led Chen Jiuyang into the small courtyard. The middle-aged man sitting opposite Qiu Yihan's maternal grandmother slowly looked up, his terrifying gaze falling on Chen Jiuyang. A surge of soul power attacked Chen Jiuyang.
Granny Hui immediately stepped in front of Chen Jiuyang and said with a smile, "Palace Master Lie, why are you in such a hurry?"
Chen Jiuyang sneered, "An old dog trying to snatch food, wouldn't he be in a hurry?"
"Junior, how dare you be so presumptuous?" Palace Master Lie said expressionlessly, his body erupting with violent and surging true qi, pressing down on Chen Jiuyang.
"Granny Hui, please step aside. Let me see what this old dog can do to me." Chen Jiuyang walked directly in front of Granny Hui, his expression fearless.
"Good, you do have some courage," Palace Master Lie slowly raised his hand, and a surge of true qi was about to strike Chen Jiuyang, seemingly intending to kill him.
"Heh heh." Chen Jiuyang let out a cold laugh.
In the next instant, the Martial Ranking Elder, the Eighth Elder of the Chen family, the Crippled Old Man, and Fang Bahua all stood protectively in front of Chen Jiuyang.
The Martial Ranking Elder swung his sword, directly dissipating Palace Master Lie's true qi into nothingness.
The Martial Ranking Elder said calmly, "Palace Master Lie, Chen Jiuyang is the champion of the Provincial Martial Ranking. We do not interfere in duels between martial artists of the same realm, but you, a well-established giant of the demonic path, attacking a junior, we of the Martial Ranking will not stand idly by."
A sharp glint flashed in Palace Master Lie's eyes, "So it's Brother Han."
"So you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me by relying on the Martial Ranking's protector, junior."
The Eighth Elder of the Chen family said coldly, "You surnamed Lie, Chen Jiuyang is the Young Master of our Shu Mountain Chen family. If you dare to lay a hand on him, are you trying to provoke a full-scale war between Shu Mountain and the True Demon Cult?"
He was just a junior of the Profound Realm without any background. Once the Martial Ranking ended, he could easily manipulate and kill Chen Jiuyang. However, with the Shu Mountain Chen family standing behind Chen Jiuyang, this little beast had a chance to grow.
At this moment, Palace Master Lie's eyes flickered, his killing intent not diminishing but intensifying, "So it's the Young Master of Shu Mountain Chen family. This is your true backing."
Saying that, Palace Master Lie looked at the Crippled Old Man, "Crippled Old Man, you watched me grow up, you are from my Jiangbei Six Lie lineage, why are you standing on my side?"
The Crippled Old Man chuckled, "Family Head, the previous Family Head sent me to protect the previous Sacred Daughter. Before she died, the previous Sacred Daughter ordered me to obey the current Sacred Daughter. The current Sacred Daughter ordered me to personally protect Young Master Chen. How dare this old servant disobey?"
"Hmph!" Palace Master Lie snorted, then slowly looked at Qiu Yihan's maternal grandmother, "Mother, Yan Bai never completed the marriage with me, but we completed the engagement ceremony before the ancestors. Twenty years have passed, and I can let this go. But now Yan Bai has a daughter, and I also have a son. I hope to rekindle our past connection."
Qiu Yihan's maternal grandmother said faintly, "Lie Zhuanzun, this matter is not something I can decide. Although I am Han Yiqiu's maternal grandmother, I have no right to interfere with the Sacred Daughter's choices. Moreover, this brat is the Sacred Daughter's tribulation. Earlier, the Sacred Daughter also wanted to kill him to rekindle her relationship with your Lie family and fulfill the ancestors' decree. Who knew that this brat, at twenty-three years old, had reached the Profound Realm's eleventh aperture and won the Martial Ranking championship? Even we couldn't do anything about him. That's why the Sacred Daughter brought him back."
"When he returned yesterday, I set up the Seventy-two Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array. He walked step by step to the threshold. Lie Zhuanzun, I have a clear conscience towards you and the Sacred Cult!"
With a single sentence, Qiu Yihan's maternal grandmother completely absolved herself of responsibility.
Lie Zhuanzun nodded slowly, "Since that is the case, let's settle this with strength."
"Bahan, you are the Sacred Son of our Sacred Cult. Whether you can marry the Sacred Daughter depends on your own fortune."
As the voice fell, the young man in luxurious attire sitting beside Lie Zhuanzun 'teng'ed up and stood, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Chen Jiuyang. His tone was extremely arrogant:
"Bastard, give me your life!"
