The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 431: The Xue family is trying to win over the couple, and they are in harmony? (Seeking monthly tickets~)

There was silence inside the restaurant.

A strong man as tall as a mountain stood aside with his back bent, his face respectful and his demeanor humble.

Chen Pingan sat upright by the window, his face calm, without even lifting his eyelids.

"what's up?"

"Sir, Lord Xue is hosting a banquet tonight and has sent someone over to invite you to join." Xiong Sanrang whispered.

"Have you invited Lord Fan?"

"Your Excellency, I have not invited you." Xiong Sanrang said respectfully.

"Okay." Chen Pingan held the teacup and took a sip.

Tomorrow is Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony. There are many guests coming and going at this ceremony, most of whom are powerful people. At such a critical moment, Xue Mingde specially took time out to hold a banquet for him to attend. I don't know what his idea is.

Chen Pingan's initial impression of Xue Mingde after meeting him today was that this man was very scheming and experienced, and could be considered a man who could bend and stretch.

Xiong Sanrang bowed his head, still looking respectful. Chen Pingan didn't say anything, so he naturally didn't dare to say much, and just waited quietly by the side.

This time Chen Pingan came to attend Xue Mingde's promotion ceremony, and he accompanied him all the way and was responsible for the corresponding guard work. According to the previous reporting relationship, Chen Pingan has now resigned from the post of deputy commander of the Weishui Zhenfu Division, and there is no subordinate relationship between him and Chen Pingan.

However, just a while ago, Chen Pingan had an in-depth exchange with him. During the exchange, he extended an olive branch to him and asked him if he was interested in going to the important town of Beicang to develop together.

Xiong Sanrang readily agreed to this. Firstly, although his position in the Weishui Pacification Division was not low, he had never been able to integrate into the core circle. This time he had the opportunity to go to Beicang, and Chen Pingan personally wooed him, so he was naturally very tempted.

Secondly, Chen Pingan had saved half of his life during the previous Sanqi Mountain Ten Thousand Demons Encirclement and Suppression Tour, so he was considered a half-lifesaver. Since Chen Pingan had asked, he naturally would not refuse.

Thirdly, Chen Pingan was so young, yet he was already in charge of Northern Cang, holding great power, and he had a bright future. He was extremely optimistic about Chen Pingan's future. Sometimes, following a good boss is more important than anything else. A word from a noble person is better than working hard for many years! Since the adults are willing to help him, how many detours can he avoid?
Xiong Sanrang remembered that he knelt down immediately when he was so excited that he shouted, "I dare to die for you, sir!"

The fact did not disappoint him. Not long after he accepted the offer, a special official letter was sent from the Weishui Pacification Office to Canglongzhou City. The content of the letter was about him.

It was obvious that in a very short period of time, Lord Chen had opened up the upper and lower connections.

Like now, the approval of the Provincial Pacification Office has come down. Although the latest appointment notice has not yet been issued, strictly speaking, he is no longer a member of the Weishui Pacification Office.

The subordinate relationship has been determined, and he will naturally follow Chen Ping'an's lead throughout the journey.

While Xiong Sanrang was thinking, Chen Pingan had already put down his teacup and slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Xiong Sanrang immediately stepped aside and bowed respectfully.

Chen Pingan glanced at Xiong Sanrang and was quite satisfied. He was going to take over the important town of Beicang this time, so he had to bring some confidants with him. Xiong Sanrang was quite capable and his combat power was also remarkable. Chen Pingan was familiar with him during the previous siege of Sanqi Mountain. That was why he tried to win him over not long ago. He stayed in Weishui County for a few days, and one of the things he did was to deal with the transfer of Xiong Sanrang.

With his current reputation, Fan Zhengheng was willing to give him face, and naturally he would not hold him back. The chief officers of both sides had no objection to the transfer, and Xiong Sanrang had a good resume, so the Canglongzhou Pacification Office would naturally have no objection.

Chen Pingan walked slowly towards the stairs, and Xiong Sanrang followed closely, not daring to go beyond the stairs. Inside the restaurant, everyone held their breath, bowed their heads and said nothing.

It was not until Chen Ping'an left that some heavy breathing sounds were heard in the restaurant.

After a long while, someone brave enough ran to the window and looked out.

Downstairs of the restaurant, there were already many officers from the Pacification Office standing there. A tall, wide, black carriage stopped in the middle of the road. With the respectful greetings of the crowd, the handsome young man stepped into the carriage.

The people in the restaurant wanted to watch again, but they saw the sturdy man who had been bending over beside the carriage straighten his back like a beast that had been awakened. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes fierce, and fell on them suddenly.

Several people were startled, a chill ran down their spines, and they instinctively stepped back. Unexpectedly, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground one after another.

"Who was that just now?" The man named Lu who had just made wanton comments about Chen Ping'an, the Rough Blade, was no longer as high-spirited as before. His face was frighteningly pale, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

"Brother Lu." His friend at the side spoke in a dry and trembling voice, which was almost inaudible.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at each other in shock, and could see deep shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

The deputy commander of the important town of Beicang, Mang Dao Chen Pingan, this legendary and famous person, actually...actually sat next to them! ?
All this seems like a dream!
"Master Chen, your humble home is honored!"

Inside the mansion, Xue Mingde was wearing a long robe with dark blue patterns, looking calm and reserved. He smiled, cupped his hands, and welcomed Chen Pingan.

Although he had been transferred to Liyang County not long ago, the corresponding mansion had naturally been prepared long ago. The venue for tonight's banquet was in his mansion.

"Lord Xue." Chen Pingan responded indifferently, without giving Xue Mingde too much face.

Although all the previous things were not necessarily Xue Mingde's intention, Chen Pingan did not have a good impression of him. He came to Liyang County City this time to let Xue Mingde taste the taste of spitting in his face, not to pretend to be nice.

With his current level of martial arts, no matter whether it is secretly or openly, Xue Mingde is not worthy of him doing so.

Since the Soul-Breaking Sword Technique was perfected, Chen Ping'an could display the strongest combat power below the Grandmaster without any burden. This kind of combat power is not something that Xue Mingde, a mere tyrannical pseudo-Grandmaster, can match.

Lan Yingying was almost the same as the Five Poisonous Palm back then!

Xue Mingde had been prepared for Chen Ping'an's attitude. In the daytime, Chen Ping'an was not polite to him in public. How could he give him any face in this private gathering?

The scene in front of the city gate during the day gave him a deep understanding of the mang in Mang Dao. He was really straightforward and didn't give in at all. Before entering the city, he gave him a show of strength in front of everyone.

If it were someone else, he would have probably exploded on the spot. But Chen Pingan, the Rough Blade, was the deputy governor of Northern Cang, and his reputation was strong. In addition, he had other purposes, so he really didn't dare to make an enemy casually.

"Mr. Chen, come, come, take a seat!" Xue Mingde invited him warmly with a smile on his face. He waved his sleeves gently and pointed Chen Pingan to his seat. Chen Pingan glanced at him and said nothing more.

Xue Mingde picked up a emerald green wine jug and personally filled a glass of wine for Chen Pingan.

"Master Chen, this is Qinglingzhou's century-old fine wine, Green Leaf and Hundred Flowers Wine. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

As he spoke, Xue Mingde poured himself another glass of wine, then picked up the glass and said solemnly: "Master Chen, everything that happened before was all my fault. This glass of wine is to apologize to Master Chen. Please don't take it as an offense, Master Chen, as you are magnanimous."

Without waiting for Chen Ping'an's reply, Xue Mingde picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Chen Pingan glanced at the wine glass in front of him. The wine was clear and transparent, as crystal clear as morning dew, with a hint of verdant green, as if it could reflect a person's reflection.

"Sir Xue, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" Chen Pingan picked up the wine glass but did not drink it, and said indifferently.

"Master Chen, under the current situation, I have no choice but to do this." Xue Mingde smiled bitterly. "Today, I apologize with all my heart. If Master Chen has any dissatisfaction, please feel free to vent!"

Xue Mingde's attitude of apology was quite good. After Chen Pingan confirmed through spiritual perception that the wine was non-toxic, he drank a glass.

With his current martial arts realm, not to mention ordinary poisons, even some rare mixed toxins would be difficult to harm him. In addition, he specialized in horizontal training, with blood and energy surging, and a strong physique, so his tolerance to poison was much greater than that of a master of the same realm.

Seeing Chen Ping'an drink the wine, Xue Mingde immediately poured another glass for Chen Ping'an.

"Lord Chen, that's straightforward!" Xue Mingde praised.

During the dinner, Xue Mingde complained bitterly, and his attitude was very humble, and his words were full of flattery. Chen Ping'an's face was not obvious, and he had a vague guess about what would happen next.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinks, Xue Mingde pushed a jade box in front of Chen Pingan.

"Master Chen, please accept this as a small token of my appreciation."

"Master Xue, what are you doing?" Chen Ping's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he understood everything clearly.

"Master Chen, open it and have a look." Xue Mingde said with a leisurely smile: "Master Chen is a young genius, famous in Canglong. At such a young age, he has taken charge of Northern Cang. Such a talent is what our Xue family longs for."

Xue Mingde looked eager and said some words to win over the other party.

Chen Pingan opened the jade box and found a strangely shaped spiritual object quietly inside.

"Golden Wind and Moon Spirit Grass!" Chen Pingan instantly recognized this spiritual object.

The Golden Wind Moon Spirit Grass is extremely rare and has the effect of condensing the Mysterious Light and giving birth to spirituality. For practitioners who have reached the perfection of the Mysterious Light High Realm, if they want to break through the Yuheng Pass and become a Grandmaster, taking the Golden Wind Moon Spirit Grass will increase their chances of breaking through the realm.

The vast majority of top masters, after they have honed their cultivation to perfection, if they want to try to break through, they will generally use spiritual objects to do so.

After all, except for the truly peerless geniuses, everyone in this world is full of awe for the Yuheng Pass. The Yuheng Pass is extremely difficult, and many geniuses have been blocked before the Grandmaster Realm, unable to advance an inch! Even if there are lucky ones, they can only condense incomplete spiritual flowers and achieve the realm of pseudo-Grandmaster.

Under such circumstances, for martial arts practitioners who aspire to become grandmasters, preparing spiritual objects to break through the realm is naturally the top priority on the road to practice!
According to their different functions, spiritual objects that can break through realms can generally be divided into three categories: primary spiritual objects, secondary spiritual objects, and auxiliary spiritual objects.

The Golden Wind Moon Spirit Grass is an auxiliary spiritual object. Although its effect is not as good as the Ice Soul Mysterious Heart Lotus at the Northern Cang auction,
It will be of great benefit in breaking through the Yuheng Pass.

This Golden Wind Moon Spirit Grass is worth hundreds of crystals, comparable to several fine treasures.

It is just a gift for meeting, but it has such value. Xue Mingde, it should be said that the Xue family's contribution is not small.

Xue Mingde looked at Chen Pingan expectantly, hoping to see a hint of shock on his face. But unfortunately, from beginning to end, Chen Pingan's expression was calm and composed, as if he had only seen an ordinary thing.

"Not surprised at all?"

Xue Mingde couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he didn't see the expression he expected on Chen Ping'an's face.

Xue Mingde naturally didn't know that with Chen Ping'an's current vision, let alone a spiritual object that assisted in breaking through the realm, even a main spiritual object for breaking through the realm like the Bingpo Xuanxin Lotus would not cause the slightest shock to him.

The Yuheng Pass, which could stop 99% of the world's top masters, could not stop him at all. He had already reached the realm of the Grandmaster that all practitioners pursued throughout their lives!
A spiritual object that can break through the realm?

To him, it is nothing but chicken ribs that are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away!

"Sir Chen, my Xue family is more eager to recruit talents than other aristocratic families. For a genius like Sir Chen, the family has always been generous in allocating resources! This Golden Wind Moon Spirit Grass is just an appetizer. If Sir Chen joins my Xue family, all the supplies for his cultivation in the future will be fully borne by my Xue family!" Xue Mingde calmed down a little and said eagerly.

The Xue family will take full responsibility for all supplies for cultivation!
The conditions offered by the Xue family are so tempting to any martial arts practitioner that it is hard to describe them.

If it were any other rookie genius, the Xue family would not be able to offer such conditions!
But Chen Pingan was so stunning! So stunning that even the contemporary beautiful girls of the Xue family seemed a little eclipsed in front of him.

Less than 23 years old, with the power of a pseudo-grandmaster! This peerless genius, the Grandmaster realm, can't stop him at all! It's not particularly difficult for him to stop most of the Grandmasters in the middle stage of Yuheng. Even the Grandmaster realm has great expectations.

Of course, no one can predict the future. In addition to talent, the Grandmaster realm is also influenced by many factors such as character, martial arts will, practice method, external environment, etc. Not everyone is qualified to set foot in it.

Even if you are a peerless genius, you have to try your best to have that one or two percent chance!
But no matter what, with the talent that Chen Pingan has shown now, if nothing unexpected happens, he will at least become a top master in the future!
A top master who will have the opportunity to reach the level of grand master in the future is worth the Xue family's huge investment.

Seeing that Chen Pingan did not give an immediate answer, Xue Mingde smiled leisurely and threw out another chip.

"Master Chen, although the Gu family has been trying to win you over and show their kindness, the relationship between you has not yet been established. Friendship is like the moon in the clouds, hazy and unformed. The public opinion in the state will be calmed by our Xue family. Master, you can rest assured and don't have to worry about changing your family or breaking your promise. Our Xue family has always valued loyalty and will never let you fall into a dilemma.

In addition, what the Gu family can give you, our Xue family can also give you, and even better. Our Xue family has a daughter named Zirou, who is the leader of the younger generation of our Xue family. If Master Chen is willing, the Xue family is willing to marry Zirou to Master, so as to establish the status of both parties! Zirou is outstanding in talent and talent. If she can marry Master, it will definitely be a story of harmony and congeniality! "

Xue Mingde had a smile on his face, an expectant expression on his face, and eager eyes as he waited for Chen Ping'an's reply.
