The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

30: Chapter Facing”But...”

After hearing Zhao Cangwu’s words, Zhongli Muyang felt somewhat conflicted.

Ultimately, if the other party hadn’t taken the land reclamation token, the grass on their graves would be three feet high by now.

Although the other party had taken the land reclamation token to avoid that fate, it couldn’t be said that there wasn’t a deep grudge just because they hadn’t actually made a move against them.

This was a blood feud of life and death; how could it be so easily resolved? Unless the other party was wiped out by the Wild Beasts, only then would the grudge be settled.

But looking at the situation now, those Wild Beasts couldn’t do anything to the other party either.

If Senior Su were here, perhaps he would have ignored the land reclamation token and struck directly this time.

Looking at the silent Zhongli Muyang, Zhao Cangwu suddenly felt he should leave as soon as possible; good advice is lost on a ghost bent on dying.

Even though your daughter is a True Disciple in the Tianxuan Sect, you are not. Besides, if a problem can be solved, there’s no need to implicate the entire Tianxuan Sect.

In his mind, this was just a Family matter. If it ended up relying on the Tianxuan Sect to resolve, he would feel somewhat resistant.

After all, Zhongli Feiyan was only a True Disciple, not the Sect Master.

”But, what kind of gift should I give to resolve this?”

Just as Zhao Cangwu was about to find an excuse to leave, Zhongli Muyang’s voice drifted over, causing his thoughts of leaving to instantly scatter.

”Since the other party took the land reclamation token, treasures that enhance their Family’s strength would be best,”

Zhao Cangwu said.

”Alright, I’ll go back now and prepare Qi Refining Stage cultivation resources.”

After saying that, Zhongli Muyang prepared to go back and get ready.

”Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking? Qi Refining Stage resources—no matter how many you send, it won’t show sincerity. Moreover, the other party is already in the Foundation Establishment Realm; obtaining some Qi Refining resources would be effortless for him.”

Seeing Zhongli Muyang about to leave, Zhao Cangwu advised him, somewhat speechless.

”Then Steward Zhao, what do you think should be done?”

Zhongli asked in confusion, looking at Zhao Cangwu who had stopped him.

If Qi Refining resources aren’t enough, then what else could he want?

”I happen to have one foundation establishment pill left, which I’ll give to you. I think using this foundation establishment pill to exchange for the other party’s forgiveness should be no problem.”

Zhao Cangwu took out a foundation establishment pill and spoke. Even though Jiang Chen was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Clan Members certainly hadn’t all reached it.

This foundation establishment pill was one he had prepared for his own juniors, but he was taking it out now to curry favor with the True Disciple, Zhongli Feiyan.

For him, when he saw a Genius, he would rather befriend them than make an enemy of them; if one approaches with a smile, the other party is unlikely to respond with harsh words.

”Then I thank Steward Zhao very much.”

Upon seeing the foundation establishment pill, Zhongli Muyang was initially a bit hesitant. One must know that in the entire Zhongli Family, he was currently the only one in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If they had this foundation establishment pill, the Zhongli Family could add another Foundation Establishment Realm expert.

That way, their Zhongli Family’s rule over the entire Tianlin City would be just around the corner.

To give it away like this to someone they once had a grudge with, he was somewhat unwilling.

In Tianlin City, foundation establishment pills were far too difficult to obtain. As for going to the neighboring Tianfeng City—forget about it; every city was xenophobic.

For a precious Medicinal Pill like this foundation establishment pill, he couldn’t compete with those people in Tianfeng City.

However, it was different for the current Zhongli Family. If they went now, they might actually be able to snatch one. It was just that Tianfeng City had just auctioned off a foundation establishment pill two days ago, and it would be more than two months until the next one.

In the end, however, he chose to reconcile with Jiang Chen. As the Patriarch Zhongli, he was no fool; he thought further ahead.

”Alright then, I’ll go with you to meet this young hero.”

Hearing Zhongli Muyang say this, Zhao Cangwu also spoke with a smile.

”Alright, let’s go together.”

The two of them walked out of the private booth and headed toward Jiang Chen’s table.

The movement of the two from the Zhongli Family quickly caught Jiang Chen’s attention. Jiang Chen looked up at the two approaching men, unsure of what they wanted, but he kept a close eye on them, ready to strike at any moment.

”Hahaha, Little Friend Jiang, I trust you’ve been well.”

From a distance, Zhongli Muyang spoke to Jiang Chen with a smile.

”It’s Patriarch Zhongli. I wonder what business you have with me?”

Jiang Chen asked expressionlessly.

This commotion quickly caught the attention of Jiang Chenghe and the other. As for Jiang Siyao, she looked up briefly, but perhaps because her brother was there, she didn’t feel anything was wrong and continued to use her chopsticks to finish off the dishes on the table.

”Didn’t I hear that your Jiang Family took the land reclamation token to head into the Deep part of the Great Wilderness? Last time you left too hastily, and I happened to be busy with something, so I didn’t make it in time to see you off. I’ve come this time to make up a gift to represent the Zhongli Family’s apologies.”

After Zhongli Muyang finished speaking, he held the foundation establishment pill in his hand and offered it to Jiang Chen.

”Chener, don’t...”

Seeing this, Mother Jiang hurriedly tried to stop him, looking at Zhongli Muyang with a face full of wariness.

She knew this Zhongli Muyang; he was the Patriarch of the Zhongli Family. The reason Jiang Chen had to leave Tianlin City for the Great Wilderness was also because of him.

His coming here this time was definitely like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken—up to no good.

”It’s alright, Mother, trust me.”

Jiang Chen hurriedly comforted his mother, telling her not to be impulsive.

”Yes, we should trust Chener.”

Jiang Chenghe, who was beside them, also advised.

”You two must be Little Friend Jiang Chen’s parents. You’ve raised a fine son; I’m truly envious.”

Looking at Jiang Chenghe and his wife, Zhongli Muyang also spoke to them with a smile.

”What are you here to do?”

Seeing Zhongli Muyang take the initiative to inquire, Jiang Chenghe, not knowing where he got the courage, looked directly at Zhongli Muyang and questioned him.

After speaking, Jiang Chenghe looked at Zhongli Muyang with a face full of wariness, while simultaneously stepping forward to block him in front of Jiang Chen.

In his mind, although his son was also a cultivator, he was surely no match for the opponent. One must know that the opponent had been famous for many years and was rumored to be a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, one of the most powerful people in Tianlin City.

Even if he was no match for the opponent, if they wanted to harm his son, they would have to step over his corpse first, Jiang Chenghe thought.

”It’s alright, Father.”

Jiang Chen was very touched by this scene, but he still pulled Jiang Chenghe back.

”But...”

”Trust me!”

When Jiang Chenghe was about to say something more, he was interrupted by Jiang Chen. Looking at his son’s calm eyes, Jiang Chenghe suddenly felt much more at ease.

Jiang Chen stepped forward and looked at Zhongli Muyang.

”What is the meaning of this?”

Jiang Chen asked.

”Last time you headed to the Great Wilderness, I didn’t have time to see the Jiang Family Clansmen off. This was an oversight by my Zhongli Family, and I’ve come this time to apologize.”

Zhongli Muyang repeated himself once more.

”I want to hear the truth.”

Jiang Chen’s gaze was like that of a fierce tiger, causing Zhongli Muyang’s heart to flutter in panic.

The Zhongli Family coming to see the Jiang Family off as they left Tianlin City? Who was he kidding? Sending them to their graves was more like it.

”Little Friend Jiang Chen, is it? I also understand a bit of your grudge. But speaking of which, although your Jiang Family left Tianlin City, you are all perfectly safe and sound, aren’t you? So this grudge isn’t that large. Could you give me some face and resolve it if it can be resolved? What do you say? When will this cycle of revenge ever end!”

Just as Zhongli Muyang didn’t know how to explain, Zhao Cangwu, who was beside him, spoke up.

”And you are?”
