In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 164 Grandmaster
"Xie Lingxin is my person. What explanation do you want?"

Jin Su ignored the contempt in Yao Tianxing's words and remained expressionless.

Yao Tianxing glanced between Jin Luochuan and Jin Su.

He didn't understand Jin Su, but he knew Jin Luochuan very well. Jin Luochuan liked to be in control of everything and would never tolerate a subordinate from a branch office speaking to him like that.

This attitude is abnormal.

From the moment Yao Tianxing first saw this woman, he knew she was no ordinary person.

Even as a titled expert, he couldn't see through this woman.

Provocative exports are a form of probing and testing the waters.

Judging from Jin Luochuan's attitude now, this woman's background is probably beyond imagination.

How could Yao Tianxing, who has become the leader of the Three Mountains Alliance, be a fool who acts impulsively?
In the blink of an eye, he acted as if he had never said those words.

The previous three-way battle was an open and fair contest. Strictly speaking, the kid was the one being "bullied" in a one-against-two situation.

They lost both against one opponent. If it weren't for the need to use this as an excuse to gain some advantage, Yao Tianxing would never have dared to mention it in public.

Since making an issue out of nothing won't work, let's proceed with the normal procedures.

Ignoring Jin Su, he went straight to the point with Jin Luochuan: "Director Jin, I can forgo everything else."

"But that towering pagoda is probably not something your Environmental Protection Bureau can handle alone, is it?"

"Brother Bai and I have come to visit Mr. Leng today to invite him to come out of seclusion and oversee the exploration of this Tongtian Pagoda,"

"If it truly is a passage to a higher realm, then it represents an opportunity for the entire Donghai City,"

"Director Jin, you're not trying to stop this, are you?"

Bai Donglai, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Brother Yao, you flatter me. Director Jin has been in charge of Donghai for many years, and Donghai's prosperity today is all thanks to Director Jin."

"How could he do anything detrimental to the East China Sea? Am I right, Director Jin?"

Jin Luochuan's eye twitched slightly.

These two are acting like they're fools.
"Hehe, you two, this is not something I can decide on my own."

Jin Luochuan gave a forced smile: "As everyone knows, according to the rules, Mr. Leng, as well as the Leizhou side, are all entitled to participate."

"Furthermore, we need to ask them for their opinions on how to allocate the shares."

Destroy it, who cares?

He realized that it was no longer possible for the Donghai branch to monopolize the profits.

Since that's the case, he can't bear this pressure alone.

Yao Tianxing glanced at Jin Su and said, "Rules are rules, but this is Donghai City after all. Leizhou is still an outsider here."

"Moreover, Leizhou's strength is already limited, and it has recently been harassed by the remnants of the White Lotus sect, leaving it in a state of utter chaos. Even if we were willing to let them get involved, would they have the resources to do so?"

Jin Luochuan did not respond.

This is indeed true.

He did indeed intend to take advantage of Leizhou's weak strength.

No matter how tough that fat guy Dai Yang is, it's useless. If you don't have the strength, you don't have the strength. Even if you're asked to get involved, you can't get involved.

But now that he saw Jin Su appear, he dared not say those words.

"Moreover, I heard that the person who injured one of my alliance's disciples was from the Leizhou branch?"

Yao Tianxing said, "I won't hold the matter of injury against him. My disciple's skills are lacking, so there's nothing to say."

"But shouldn't that kid hand over what he took from the statue first?"

"Whether it's an ancient treasure or not, it should belong to someone else, but in any case, it should stay in the East China Sea. What do you think, Mr. Leng?"

"Uh-huh……"

Leng Yanwu seemed to be lost in thought, but upon hearing this, he paused for a moment and was about to nod.

But Gu Wan glared at him fiercely from the side.

"Um... well... well..."

He hummed for a long time, but couldn't come up with a definite answer.

"Although Leizhou is small and has a small population, we are not so poor that we cannot find a few capable people, so you need not worry about that."

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.

A servant from the Leng family led one person in.

The person who came had a steady gait, and his movements made him seem like a majestic mountain, eternally unmoving.

Of the people in the room, only Jin Su remained unchanged; the others all changed color slightly, a hint of seriousness flickering in their eyes.

"Chen, Yun, Tao...?"

Bai Donglai slowly uttered a few words.

"Brother Bai, how have you been?"

Chen Yuntao glanced over and greeted him.

Bai Donglai's eyes flickered, and his expression seemed somewhat unpleasant: "This matter has nothing to do with your Chen family, does it?"

"I heard that President Chen has endured for many years, even deceiving his own wife, and dealt a heavy blow to the remnants of the White Lotus sect, thus making a great contribution."

"What? Are you trying to use this opportunity to incorporate our East China Sea as well?"

Yao Tianxing and Jin Luochuan both looked at him with some wariness.

Regardless of whether Bai Donglai's words are true or false, Chen Yuntao is indeed a remarkable person.

Leizhou is a small place, but Chen Yuntao is someone that everyone who knows him dares not take lightly.

Chen Yuntao seemed oblivious to this, and laughed, "To be honest, I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. I didn't want to get involved in these things in the first place."

"However, what can I do when Mr. Chen has such a troublesome daughter?"

Everyone frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Daughter? The one who was already known as a prodigy at the age of 16, and whose reputation was undisputed?

What's the point of bringing her up now?
Trying to threaten me?
I heard that Chen Jinxin is indeed very popular with some people on Central Star. Is Chen Yuntao trying to use this as a bargaining chip?

That would be utterly ridiculous.

Let alone how much of that so-called "affection" there is, it's questionable whether those important figures are truly willing to set their sights on a remote place like Far East Star.

Even if they wanted to interfere in the affairs of other planets, the price they would have to pay would be considerable.

Just because of a little girl?

Chen Yuntao chuckled to himself, "They say girls are outgoing, and my daughter is no exception. When she's in love, all she can think about is her sweetheart."

"I don't know where she saw the news, but she was afraid her sweetheart would get hurt, so she sent me over."

"No matter what, we'll be family in the future, and I really should look after them. That's why I rushed over here in such a hurry."

Everyone was taken aback by this. Jin Luochuan asked uncertainly, "Does President Chen mean... could it be that Xie Lingxin is President Chen's future son-in-law?"

Chen Yuntao simply smiled and remained silent.

Apart from Jin Su, everyone present, including Leng Yanwu and Gu Wan who had been standing aside, changed their expressions.

Because of this reason, no one could stop Chen Yuntao from getting involved.

With Chen Yuntao getting involved, both the Chen family and Leizhou now had a reason to act.

Leng Yanwu's expression changed because that Xie kid, who was the son-in-law of the Chen family, actually dared to provoke his daughter. It was simply outrageous!
Gu Wan wore a fake smile on her face: "Director Jin, your words are rather abrupt."

"Young people these days change their minds so quickly. They might say they like something today, but they could change their minds tomorrow. Who can say for sure?"

"What future son-in-law? If word gets out, how will Mr. Chen's daughter face anyone?"

Jin Luochuan: "..."

What's with that sarcastic tone?

He recalled the scene from the previous live stream where Leng Qingci was supporting that kid, and his face twitched slightly.

Well, we're still fighting over it, and you've already got yours?
"okay."

At this moment, Jin Su, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"I don't care how you fight or compete."

Her gaze swept over everyone present: "But... no one can take Xie Lingxin's things. No matter what they are, if she wants them, all of you must unconditionally let go."

"boom!"

Yao Tianxing slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Why?"

Although he was wary of this woman, as a titled expert, he also had his pride.

"Based on what I said."

Jin Su turned her gaze to Yao Tianxing and walked towards him step by step.

"Humph!"

Yao Tianxing suddenly let out a muffled groan.

One step, two steps...

As everyone noticed, Yao Tianxing's figure seemed to shrink with each step Jin Su took.

When Jin Su reached within five feet of him, she had only taken four steps.

Yao Tianxing suddenly went limp, as if his bones had disappeared, and slid down, collapsing to his knees.

"what!"

Everyone present felt a chilling sense of dread creeping over them.

Yao Tianxing has already achieved the title of a spiritual master over the years, a true powerhouse!
Being defeated is something I can accept.

Yet, in such a silent and unnoticed manner, after taking only a few steps, such a powerful individual was rendered powerless to retaliate.

Such methods are unheard of, let alone seen or heard of.

It’s simply appalling!

"Don't let me hear again that anyone is trying to take anything from Xie Lingxin."

Jin Su seemed to have done something insignificant, glancing at Yao Tianxing: "If he can cripple your disciple, I can cripple you too."

His gaze swept over Bai Donglai and Jin Luochuan.

As her gaze swept over them, both felt as if they were carrying the weight of a mountain and being swallowed by a vast ocean, suffocating them.

Even my soul was trembling.

Jin Su's gaze lingered on Jin Luochuan the longest, especially on him.

It almost made him kneel down.

"I've finished speaking, you may continue."

Fortunately, Jin Su only glanced at it briefly, left a single sentence, and then turned and strode away.

"call……!"

Once she disappeared from sight, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and gasped for breath.

Bai Donglai's face was grim, his jaw clenched, and he squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Grand...Master!"

Martial arts master!

No one present spoke again.

With those two words around, it's like a mountain pressing down on your head.

What they say is not important; what matters is what that woman just said.

Although Donghai City is not without powerful figures at the Grandmaster and Mage levels, those at this level would not offend other powerful figures over something like this.

Only Chen Yuntao smiled and said, "If you ask me, Leizhou and Donghai should cooperate, develop together, and make progress together."

No one objected.

Because this is the best option at present.

……

Xie Lingxin had just woken up from her meditation when Leng Qingci knocked on the door and came in.

He was also holding a long box in his hands.

A pair of sword cases, one male and one female?

He quickly stood up: "My sister's here?"

"Was that Captain Jin your sister?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Leng Qingci's face.

The charisma of that Captain Jin was truly something she had never seen before in her life.

As a woman herself, she felt nothing but admiration for him.

Unable to contain his deep admiration, he recounted what had happened in the Leng family's main hall not long ago.

"Your sister is truly the most extraordinary woman I have ever met in my life..."

"Brother Xie, if you have the chance, could you introduce me to him?"

Xie Lingxin looked at Leng Qingci's face full of pleading and anticipation, like a little fangirl.

I was speechless.

My sister is gone?

"Oh, Captain Kim said she's chasing a wanted criminal and doesn't have time to linger, so she asked me to give this to you."
