God of Pets

Chapter 483 A Friendship Among Prestigious Families
The giant sea turtle stopped inside its enormous nest, which resembled a colossal tree with openings leading to its interior.

Gong Mingwang, Li Hui, and the others looked extremely grim. They hadn't expected Chen Guan to become so close to Qin Qiu. They had hoped that if the two families fought, they might be able to take advantage of the chaos, but now it seemed that hope was dashed.

What frustrated them even more was that the nest wasn't just inhabited by members of the Qin family.

Half of the ten major families have members here.

The Dushan Sect's Gushan and Zipao, the Shang family's Shang Tianyin, the Chu family's Chu Jianfeng, the Jiang family's Jiang Sanxin, plus Qin Qiu—so many famous young figures from the ten major families have gathered here.

The fact that the Gong family knew nothing about it infuriated Gong Mingwang.

If they hadn't run into each other, it would have been fine, but Qin Qiu saw him and just wanted to drive him away without even thinking of inviting him to participate. It was obvious that she didn't regard the Gong family and Gong Mingwang as human beings.

What's even more infuriating is that when Qin Qiu introduces Chen Guan, he always adds, "This is Zi Donglai, the newly emerging genius who defeated the Flying Dragon Knights and captured Gong Mingwang."

Seeing the surprised looks from others, Gong Mingwang wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.

Chen Guan then realized that this was not a secret operation at all, which explained why Qin Qiu had agreed to let him participate so easily.

It wasn't just people from the major families here; there were also many other wealthy families. Chen Guan even saw Wang Lian.

When Wang Lian saw Chen Guan, her eyes lit up immediately.

She recognized Chen Guan, but now he seemed a little different from before. Wang Lian wondered if it was just her imagination, but he seemed even more handsome than before.

When Wang Lian heard that Chen Guan had actually defeated the Flying Dragon Knights and captured Gong Mingwang, her eyes lit up even more.

Chen Guan has actually become an enemy of the Gong family, one of the ten great families. Perhaps he really has a chance to be used by her Wang family.

"Brother Zi, do you still remember Wang Lian?" Wang Lian took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Miss Lian knows Brother Zi?" Qin Qiu asked with some surprise.

Wang Lian said, "When I went to the Golden Sands Desert to search for the sword spirit, I was fortunate enough to receive Brother Zi's help. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have made it back alive. In fact, Brother Zi saved my life."

She was trying to get to the heart of the matter by speaking in a way that would allow her to establish a connection with Chen Guan and have more opportunities to interact with him in the future, hoping to recruit him into her fold.

"Is that really true?" Qin Qiu looked at Chen Guan.

Chen Guan said, "Miss Lian, you flatter me. We are just cooperating. Even without me, with Miss Lian and the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers' abilities, nothing can harm her."

Gong Mingwang and his companions felt even more distressed when they saw that Chen Guan was quite popular and many people were chatting with him, while no one paid any attention to them.

The group took their seats and began discussing how to break down the Wailing Wall.

After listening for a while, Chen Guan realized that this wasn't a plan at all.

This was a social event organized by the families that were doing well in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm.

It's similar to a picnic or a spring outing, but since these people are together, it's not going to be a typical dinner party, so they decided on a program to try and break down the wall of sighs.

It's called an experiment, but really it's just for novelty and fun; nobody really thinks they can break through the Wailing Wall.

As long as they can demonstrate their abilities and impress the other companies, their goal will be achieved.

Rather than a gathering, it was more of a stage for these families to showcase their strength, facilitating future competition for greater benefits. "What a coincidence! Was it really just an unexpected encounter?" Chen Guan finally believed that their meeting was merely a coincidence.

Wang Lian sat at a table next to Chen Guan, occasionally turning her head to whisper to him, expressing considerable goodwill in her words.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "Wang Lian, Wang Lian, if you knew that Brother Zidong is actually me, Chen Guan, I wonder what you would think?"

At this moment, the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons within Wang Lian's body was also constantly watching Chen Guan.

She wanted to get closer to Chen Guan and communicate with him even more than Wang Lian did, wanting to find out what kind of talent Chen Guan had, what kind of cultivation technique he practiced, and whether he had the opportunity to become her host.

For the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons, Wang Lian, the host, was like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

He wouldn't die following her, but he couldn't shake off the special condition of being a beautiful woman with little fame, leaving him in a very uncomfortable state of being stuck in the middle.

The Qin family, as the initiator of this social event, was responsible for the reception and arrangements.

Lonely Mountain and Purple Robe were also very interested in Chen Guan. The capture of the Flying Dragon Knights of Tianxu Palace and Gong Mingwang, these words combined, indeed felt very unfamiliar and novel.

Shang Tianyin, Jiang Sanxin, and Chu Jianfeng took a conservative approach. Although they spoke with Chen Guan, they did not express any particular opinion.

When the giant tree nest reached the vicinity of the Wall of Sighs, everyone came to the huge tree branch platform to view the incredible Wall of Sighs.

They were clearly much bolder than Chen Guan, and the giant tree nest only stopped when it was less than a kilometer away from the Wall of Sighs.

Many people were seeing the Wailing Wall for the first time and found it quite novel.

Qin Qiu had someone demonstrate the power of the Wailing Wall. When the summoned pets touched the Wailing Wall, they immediately burned and decomposed into ashes.

Many people exclaimed in amazement; that terrifying power was indeed beyond human capabilities.

"Does anyone want to give it a try?" Qin Qiu asked, looking at the crowd.

“Miss Lian is the owner of the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons. Among all the deadly weapons in the world, none is more powerful than the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons. If there is any power that can break through the Wall of Sighs, it is naturally none other than Miss Lian’s Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons,” Jiang Sanxin said.

“Young Master Jiang is too kind. The Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers has a troubled fate. Let alone injuring others, he can barely protect himself. How could he possibly have the strength to break through the Wall of Sighs?” Wang Lian politely declined.

What she said wasn't wrong. Obtaining a Mystic Pet was common knowledge, something that would naturally attract jealousy. She just didn't want to be so high-profile and cause trouble.

Moreover, the facts are indeed quite similar; the situation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers is indeed not very good.

However, Wang Lian was unaware that weapons are inherently dangerous. As the master of all weapons, the Mysterious God, she was extremely arrogant. Although she was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate, she possessed a ferocity that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Wang Lian's seemingly normal remarks aroused the dissatisfaction of the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers.

"Stingy," the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers thought to himself, feeling quite displeased.

"Miss Lian is too modest." Jiang Sanxin did not continue. He had only wanted to see what made the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers so special. Since Wang Lian did not want to show off, he did not force her.

The man in purple robes, not wanting to be left out, looked at Chen Guan and said, "This young brother Zi is able to overpower the Flying Dragon Knights at such a young age; he must have extraordinary abilities."

All eyes turned to Chen Guan once again, wondering if he would be the first to try to break through the Wall of Sighs.
