Zhou Chen focused his attention on "Emperor Venerable." The fact that the Li family could come up with such a club name and have it approved showed that their resources were not to be underestimated.

It is also one of the clubs that has had intermediate-level card players participate in the Youth Championship in previous years.

Li Feijin's presence also allowed him to recruit some graduates who had not made it into the school team but had participated in the student council.

Therefore, Wenren Shiyue and the others will meet their old friends in [Emperor's Venerable].

When getting off the bus.

Zhou Chen immediately noticed Luo Linchuan chatting and laughing with someone wearing the Emperor's Team uniform. From the snippets of conversation he overheard, it was easy to tell that this person was Luo Linchuan's senior, one of the people who had introduced him to the student council.

Unfortunately, the senior failed to be selected for the school team several times and could only graduate with regret.

After graduation, he was introduced to the club by Li Feijin, which made him decide to dream again.

The other party also believed that this dream would be helpful for him to advance to the intermediate card master level.

Is it really that simple?

Zhou Chen felt that something that even the teaching assistants had to prepare for a long time was not so easy.

He stood in the crowd, his gaze shifting around, trying to find the people Su Xuanzhen had mentioned to him.

Among these club members, there are some who pose a threat; every club has its share of veterans in team battles.

This group may still be at the beginner level of card master, but their combat experience is just as rich as that of the teaching assistants.

Su Xuanzhen said that the ones who will gain the most from this training camp are the students and teachers.

Because the opponent was strong enough.

Chapter 205: Asking for Trouble

"Chongxuan! Hahahaha!"

A cheerful voice rang out from the crowd.

Zhou Chen looked around and saw a middle-aged man shaking hands with Chong Xuan in a friendly manner.

Several men and women of similar age then appeared nearby.

Su Xuanzhen whispered, "I've mentioned it to you before: the tournament managers of the three clubs—Li Songting, a senior card master from the Li family; Gongshu Yezhan from the Gongshu family; and Wang Jingru from the Wang family."

Zhou Chen nodded, seeing that the four of them were chatting happily and clearly had a good personal relationship.

Similar scenes are playing out simultaneously in various places.

Shen Du is neither small nor large; the coaches and students of Shen Du Academy are more or less bound to run into one or two acquaintances.

Including Lu Qingning and Han Baobao.

The two met several girls from the Gongshu family at the summer camp, and they seemed to get along quite well.

They've already started catching up.

"Xuanzhen!"

A short call came from the other side.

Su Xuanzhen's acquaintances also appeared. Although his family's club did not receive an invitation, as a young talent who was able to pass the entrance exam for Shendu Academy and had certain command abilities, there were quite a few people in the Shendu aristocratic families who knew him.

However, besides greeting Su Xuanzhen, this group had another purpose—

Take a look at Zhou Chen.

As the main focus of Shen Du Academy's publicity this year, many people are curious about this person who was accepted as a personal disciple by Bai Shounian.

Su Xuanzhen also introduced them to them in a very generous and natural manner.

Seeing the friendly hand extended to him and the amiable faces on the other side, Zhou Chen knew that one shouldn't refuse a smiling face, so he politely shook hands with them.

Although he disliked aristocratic families, he had no intention of openly opposing them for the time being.

Coming from prominent families and being able to participate in the training camp, their overall quality must be quite good, right?

However, Zhou Chen was overthinking it.

It's common for a family of mediocre bamboo to produce excellent shoots, but that doesn't prevent most people from being considered mediocre bamboo.

Furthermore, personal qualities have nothing to do with the size of one's family's influence, nor with one's own abilities.

"It feels... quite ordinary?"

"Haven't you heard? They were lucky to get it."

"It's truly remarkable to have someone like this in a family that has split up."

"I heard the branch family in Shanghai has been embroiled in a huge dispute lately. Among the abandoned descendants is this one person, whom they have absolutely no idea about~ Hehehe~"

This group of people were not acquaintances of Su Xuanzhen; they had come along together. They whispered among themselves in a low voice, completely ignoring Zhou Chen who was not far away, which made Su Xuanzhen frown.

He said coldly, "Gentlemen, that's enough. I don't want to hear any more disrespectful words towards my friend."

“Su Xuanzhen, this is our own family matter.”

"Yes, yes, even if the family separates, it's still a family."

"The Li family..."

Su Xuanzhen grew increasingly dissatisfied, but the Li family members remained smiling and completely ignored his warning.

Looking at the faces of these people, Zhou Chen suddenly felt fortunate.

His interactions with the scions of aristocratic families at the Divine Capital Academy over the past few months gradually lowered his guard, leading him to believe that Pan Yi was one of the few exceptions.

Nowadays, people like Su Xuanzhen are in the minority.

An isolated case?

Are there a huge number of isolated cases?

He was all too familiar with this scene; wasn't that Shen Yan from back then?

He silently memorized the faces of these people. Since he wasn't one to engage in verbal battles, he preferred to let those who liked to talk a lot chatter away during sparring sessions.

If I'm qualified to fight him.

However, Zhou Chen's silence does not mean that no one will stand up for him.

"What are the children talking about? Can I listen too?"

The Star-Asking Parrot landed on his head, smiling as it looked at the group of people. The oppressive aura of a spirit beast instantly descended upon them.

They felt a chill run through them, their legs trembling but they dared not move.

At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared beside them, raised her foot and kicked the Li family members one after another, making them howl in pain.

It wasn't Lu Qingning, but Wenren Shiyue.

"Sister Shi-Sister Shiyue!"

"roll!"

Wenren Shiyue spoke indifferently, while continuing to move her feet.

Those people hurriedly fled.

It's clear that although Wenren Shiyue is not a member of the Li family, she holds a high position in the Li family, at least on the surface.

"I'm sorry, there are always low-EQ idiots like this everywhere, I hope you don't mind." She bowed her head and apologized to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, while the Star-Questioning Parrot above his head spread its wings and flapped them, instructing him: "You're just too soft-hearted. Next time you encounter someone like this, beat them up like Wenren did. Don't forget your place!"

Of course he hadn't forgotten, but subconsciously he didn't want to cause trouble on the first day of training.

Thinking back on it now, his experiences over the past ten years have made him accustomed to avoiding direct conflict. As a result, even after being taken in as Bai Shounian's personal disciple for more than a month, he still hasn't developed the confidence that comes with having a parent to back him up.

After all, even if someone in the Divine Capital Academy knew how to cricket, they wouldn't do it in front of him like this.

"Tell me anything, and I can help you as long as you don't kill anyone." The Star-Questioning Parrot patted its chest confidently. "His Holiness the Dharma King entrusted me to take good care of you."

It thought to itself that if the Dharma King Ni were here, those little brats probably wouldn't have left so easily.

Thinking it over, the Star Parrot took out its phone and privately sent the message to the One-Horned Chow Chow. It couldn't keep it to itself; if Zhou Chen casually mentioned it when he got back, that guy would definitely question it about why it didn't slap those guys.

Shen Du Yuan.

Upon receiving the message, the one-horned Chow Chow immediately jumped up, shouting, "I knew it! I knew it! This damn bird is unreliable! My Hengzhen!"

"Stop barking like a dog."

Fatian frowned and looked at it. "What is it?"

The one-horned Chow Chow relayed the situation.

Fa Tian casually took out his phone and said, "It's nothing."

Two minutes later, she put her phone away. "Don't get too anxious or upset. Strong people have to endure a lot of criticism to grow. How long can we protect him?"

“Protecting him for twenty or thirty years is no problem.” The unicorn chow believed that with Zhou Chen’s talent, he would definitely become a senior card master within ten years. At that time, Fa Tian would definitely be a special-grade card master, and Bai Lao might even be a king-grade card master.

It can protect it for several decades.

perfect!

"..."

Fatian shook his head.

At the Tianhe Arena, the four teams have already begun to enter.

Li Songting, the head of the Li family, received a text message. Upon discovering that the message originated from his own family, he frowned, and his expression darkened further after reading its contents.

"Gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment, I have a small matter to attend to."

When Li Songting looked at the others, his expression instantly returned to a cheerful one.

Chongxuan knew the reason, but he simply expressed his understanding in a friendly manner.

The other two silently received the message from elsewhere.

Not long after.

Members of the Emperor Club received the message in the group chat that some members were unable to participate due to personal reasons, and that other substitutes would take their place.

"What's going on? So many people are suddenly unable to participate?"

"What are they doing!"

Before the Emperor's people could figure out the situation, another message was sent out, several hundred words long, stating one thing—

Watch your mouth and your feet! Don't do things that will only cause trouble for yourself!

Chapter 206: The Emperor's Conquest

Tianhe Arena Main Venue.

Despite some unpleasant incidents, everyone acted as if nothing had happened in order to maintain the ultimate goal of the training camp and save face.

Several senior card specialists spoke at the front, and the audience applauded below before the group was divided into different groups based on their projects.

Zhou Chen glanced at the Emperor, but couldn't find the people from before.

There were none in the crowds of other clubs either.

No, where are they?

Just here to join the fun?

He remembered that the other party was indeed wearing the clothes of an emperor, but now those people had vanished as if they had evaporated into thin air.

The parrot perched on his shoulder said, "Don't bother looking anymore, the person is gone."

"He's gone?"

Zhou Chen found this statement inexplicably creepy.

Ask the Star Parrot: "Literal meaning. There are quite a few fools in aristocratic families who have never seen the world. They've been used to having a smooth life and think that their family will protect them no matter what. Hehehe."

It lowered its head and said, "Remember, only a master will unconditionally protect his disciple. Countless masters and disciples make up our Myriad Laws Sect. How can a master-disciple relationship based on blood ties be as solid as one based on fortune, talent, and spiritual harmony?"

Zhou Chen knew that it was telling him not to have any illusions about aristocratic families.

"I see."
