Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The City Lord Arrives

Jiang Fan shook his head without hesitation and wrote:

“Don’t overthink it, there are only two pills.”

“One was given to Youran, and one was given to Siling.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue was greatly disappointed!

Being able to turn two people with inferior Spirit Roots into celestial prodigies.

If she got one, wouldn’t she have a chance to become an Eighth Grade, or even the legendary Ninth Grade?

She hurriedly concealed her lapse, clearing her throat and said: “You misunderstood, I…I asked on behalf of my friend.”

“By the way, this friend is Xu Yining.”

Yes, it’s Xu Yining!

Thinking of her, Ye Qingxue again felt a pang of sorrow for Xu Yining.

“Yining, Yining, do you know what a ridiculous choice you made?”

Not to mention the past, this kind of destiny-changing Immortal Pill originally could have belonged to Xu Yining.

Her potential would have skyrocketed, becoming a unique existence in the world.

But now, it has benefited Xu Youran and her good sister instead.

Unfortunately, it’s too late for regrets.

When she looked up at Zhong Qizhen again, she said speechlessly: “Cousin, just based on this, how can you compete with Jiang Fan?”

“When I said you were no match for him, it’s not without reason.”

However.

How could Zhong Qizhen admit it?

He clenched his fists and shouted: “Cousin, you must be blind!”

“There’s no such thing as a Spirit Pill that can enhance Spirit Roots! Obviously, Chen Silin has a Sixth Grade Spirit Root herself!”

Zhong Liangpeng also disregarded the truth and said angrily: “Qingxue, you have disappointed your uncle greatly.”

“To help an outsider, you even disregarded your uncle’s dignity!”

“Fortunately, I didn’t expect anything from you; I already notified your father.”

Hmm?

Chen Yuqiu’s expression shifted.

Chen Silin’s presence didn’t matter much, as she was merely the daughter of the City Lord’s Mansion and did not represent it.

Moreover, Ye Qingxue was always known for her sense and judgment.

But Ye Jifeng was different.

He was a City Lord, with the authority to decide if the Chen family could continue to stay in the city!

What made Chen Yuqiu even more uneasy was.

As the head of the Ye family, Ye Jifeng would certainly prioritize benefits.

Not fairness or injustice.

For the Ye family, maintaining kinship with the Zhong family was of the greatest benefit.

One could imagine what the situation would be like once Ye Jifeng arrived.

Ye Qingxue couldn’t help but get angry: “You called my father here over this?”

She was also worried for the Chen family, and even more so for Jiang Fan.

The identity of the No.1 Shadow Guard was crucial in her eyes.

But it might not be for her father, the City Lord.

Zhong Liangpeng reprimanded: “If you had any sense, would I have needed to call your father?”

“Besides, it’s not just the Chen family; your father needs to teach you how to behave!”

“Such a grown person, yet so clueless! Hmph!”

Clop-clop——

A series of rapid hoofbeats approached.

Ye Jifeng, surrounded by the Guard Captain and several guards, stormed into the Chen family with great momentum.

How could Chen Yuqiu dare to neglect?

He immediately stepped forward to greet: “Chen Yuqiu, welcomes the City Lord.”

Ye Jifeng glanced at him, with his hands behind his back, standing firmly in the hall’s center, exuding a deep sense of oppression: “I can’t bear such courtesy from the Chen Family Master.”

Chen Yuqiu felt a bitter taste in his mouth and quickly said: “City Lord, please let me report the details…”

Who knew.

Ye Jifeng didn’t listen at all. He waved his hand and snorted: “I already know, no need for you to repeat it.”

He was openly supporting the Zhong family.

Ye Qingxue couldn’t stand it and said: “Father, things are not as Uncle said.”

“Actually, Cousin was not as skilled as others and couldn’t accept his loss.”

“Please don’t get involved, lest we embarrass the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Ye Jifeng snorted heavily and shouted: “Shut up and stand aside!”

He sighed silently in his heart.

How could he not know the Zhong family’s character?

They were notorious troublemakers in Biliu City.

However, his daughter was still young.

As a major family, justice was not the priority.

It was the core interest of the family.

So, even if he knew the Chen family was wronged, he had to support the Zhong family.

“Chen Yuqiu, you insulted the Zhong family, and you must account for this!”

Ye Jifeng unreasonable and overbearing: “I give you two choices.”

“First, the Chen family leaves Lonely Boat City!”

“Second, marry your daughter Chen Silin to the Zhong family.”

“Choose one, and this matter will be settled, otherwise, you should understand the means of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Chen Yuqiu’s expression was extremely unsightly.

With the means of the City Lord’s Mansion, they could easily bring the Chen family to ruin.

Liu Qimin’s face also turned pale.

However, the couple didn’t despair.

The Chen family had finally had good luck, aligning themselves with a Three-Star Soul Master.

Would they give up this immense opportunity?

Dream on!

As for leaving Lonely Boat City, so be it!

With the backing of a Three-Star Soul Master, the Chen family’s future status couldn’t be confined to a small Lonely Boat City.

If they didn’t move now, they’d move later anyway.

So, with almost no hesitation.

Chen Yuqiu decisively said: “Thank you, City Lord, for allowing us! Our Chen family will leave Lonely Boat City overnight!”

“As for marrying my daughter to the Zhong family!”

“Forgive my bluntness! They are unworthy!”

“My daughter will only marry Jiang Fan in this life. Even if she’s a concubine, she won’t deign to be the main wife of the Zhong family!”

This bold and decisive attitude.

Directly made the Zhong family father and son stomp in anger.

They called the City Lord to suppress the Chen family heavily, but it backfired, and the Chen family, for some reason, showed such a hard spine.

Rather move the whole family than bow down!

This also put Ye Jifeng in a tough spot.

The Lonely Boat City’s two alchemy families, the Qin family had already left.

If the Chen family also left, who would provide the pills in the future?

But asking them to stay would be a huge loss of face.

Just at this moment, Jiang Fan picked up a note to comfort Chen Yuqiu.

“Moving to a bigger city is better anyway. Lonely Boat City is too small.”

Since the Chen family had a marriage alliance with him, he would naturally provide more support in the future.

All kinds of high-tier pills would be given to the Chen family to sell.

The demand for high-tier pills in Lonely Boat City was obviously less than in big cities.

Ye Jifeng, who was already in a dilemma, saw Jiang Fan speak up and immediately aimed his anger at him, snorting heavily: “Are you Jiang Fan? The one causing trouble?”

“Take him! Interrogate him properly on why he’s causing trouble and sabotaging the marriage alliance of two major families!”

By capturing Jiang Fan, he could appease the Zhong family’s anger and prevent the Chen family from acting recklessly.

Two birds with one stone.

The Guard Captain beside him immediately drew his Mysterious Iron Blade and walked towards Jiang Fan with big steps.

Without even looking closely, he grabbed his shoulder: “Boy, kneel down and submit!”

Jiang Fan was no longer his past self.

With Foundation Establishment Third Layer, he could ignore such authority.

He shook his body slightly, and the sheer force of his spiritual power knocked the Guard Captain back.

The Guard Captain glared at him angrily: “You have the guts to defy… defy…”

As he got a closer look at Jiang Fan’s face, his eyes widened.

From the moment he entered, he found Jiang Fan’s face familiar.

Taking a closer look, he suddenly remembered who he was.

Wasn’t this the one, who, after killing members of the Blood Bat Palace, came to the City Lord Mansion’s Spirit Pond to cultivate for a two-hour with a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root?

Liu Qingxian had searched the city for him multiple times.

Before leaving, she had specifically instructed the City Lord Mansion to keep a close watch on the movements of the person with the Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, and if found, to report to the Ye family for great merit!

Because of this, the City Lord had mobilized all the city’s soldiers, searching everywhere.

But it was like finding a needle in a haystack, and they never found him.

Little did he know, this Ninth Grade Spiritual Root was right in front of him!
