Chapter 424: The Zhao Family's Daughter
t the city lights.The telephone on the desk rang, and the woman frowned slightly as she picked it up."Miss Yang, the mission failed. Ji Rumei has been sent to the hospital and the Ji family has sent m...A white-robed old man with snow-white beard and hair smiled gently as he walked slowly towards the Chen family gate.
The old man had a kind face, but his eyes were as sharp and piercing as an eagle's.
Behind him followed four black-robed elders, each exuding a powerful aura, clearly figures of high rank and influence.
The moment these five people appeared, they instantly became the center of attention.
Most of the people present recognized the elderly man walking in front.
He is the president of Huaibei Martial Arts Association, Zhao Jidao.
When Zheng Yan of the Zheng family last ascended to the rank of Martial Saint, Zhao Jidao did not attend the banquet in person.
Now Chen's family has produced a saint, and Zhao Ji Dao himself has come in person!
His emphasis on Chen Luo is evident!
"Mr. Zhao, why would you personally come here" Mr. and Mrs. Chen Nansheng immediately greeted him with respectful expressions.
Zhao Jidao's status and seniority are at the top level in the Huaibei martial arts world, he is a prominent figure.
Therefore, facing Zhao Jidao, one must lower their stance, even though the Chen family is now the foremost martial arts family in Huaibei.
"Hehehe, the Chen family has produced such a prodigy as Chen Luo. How could I not come and see him for myself Chen Luo will be the representative of the Huaibei martial arts world in the future!" Zhao Jidao laughed, "Besides, there's also a martial arts tournament being held today. Along with four other chief judges, I will be a witness to this tournament."
"Please come in." Chen Nansheng quickly led Zhao Ji and the others into the Chen family home.
And the other guests also greeted Zhao Ji and his companions.
These five people are all high-level members of the Martial Arts Association, and it's crucial to cultivate good relationships with them.
"Yier, you go greet the guests for us. We'll go in first." Lu Wanrong said to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi nodded impassively.
Today is a joyous day, and Lu Wanrong doesn't even bother with Chen Yi's emotions as she turns and leaves.
Chen Yi watched as one guest after another approached him, but his heart remained unmoved, even with a hint of disgust.
Isn't this Chen Shao
At this time, a young man walked towards Chen Yi.
Upon seeing someone, Chen Yi's disgust was immediately and openly displayed on his face.
This man is called Hu Tianyi, the eldest son of the Hu family.
Chen Yi's relationship with him has always been poor. Three years ago, they even got into a fight at a club over a woman.
Hu Tianyi's martial arts talent was very good, and at the time he already had the cultivation of a half-step Grandmaster.
So, in that fight, Chen Yi was beaten badly and couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
Of course, Hu Tianyi was also punished and confined to his quarters for a month.
Their feud had begun then.
Chen Yi turned his head, unwilling to pay any attention to Hu Tianyi.
But Hu Tianyi walked straight toward Chen Yi, a playful smile on his face.
"Young Master Chen, your younger brother, Chen Luo, is truly impressive. At less than thirty years old, he has already broken through to the Martial Saint realm. It seems that the position of head of the family will be passed down to him, right" Hu Tianyi leaned closer to Chen Yi and said with a smile.
Chen Yi's face turned ashen. He turned his head and glared at Hu Tianyi, snarling, "What do you want"
"Don't glare at me like that. I came here today to celebrate your brother, Chen Luo! I'm a guest, your parents should have told you to treat us well, right This attitude of yours is unacceptable." Hu Tianyi shook his head and said.
Chen Yi was already in a bad mood, and being mocked by Hu Tianyi like this, he was now on the verge of losing his temper.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his temples bulged with veins.
"Sigh, to be honest, I kind of feel sorry for you. Having such a monstrous brother, you're destined to be suppressed your whole life and never rise above him." Hu Tianyi wasn't afraid of Chen Yi at all and continued.
"Enough!" Chen Yi said gravely.
"Look at you now, furious and helpless, hahaha..." Hu Tianyi laughed out loud, brushed past Chen Yi, and strode arrogantly into the Chen family.
Chen Yi's anger reached his head, his face turning red with fury.
But he was helpless against Hu Tianyi!
Hu Tianyi is now a grandmaster. If he made a move, the only one who would suffer would be himself!
Besides, he couldn't possibly make a move in this situation!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Chen Yi's teeth chattered.
"Mr. Chen."
At this moment, another voice sounded.
Chen Yi turned his head and saw a handsome man standing before him.
"Young Master Zhao," Chen Yi said, his expression composed.
Zhao Xuan is the grandson of Zhao Jidao who was just here, and he is not to be provoked easily.
"Chen brother, your face doesn't look too good. What's wrong" Zhao Xuan asked.
“I… I’m fine, please come in, Young Master Zhao.” Chen Yi said.
"Hey, give Chen brother a greeting. What are you always hiding behind me for" Zhao Xuan turned his head and said.
At this moment, Chen Yi saw a petite girl standing behind Zhao Xuan.
The girl lowered her head, her cheeks flushed a bright red, seemingly overcome with shyness.
She must be Zhao Xuan's new girlfriend.
Although Chen Yi wasn't close friends with Zhao Xuan, he had still heard of his reputation as a playboy.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen," the girl behind Zhao Xuan was pulled forward and still didn't dare to look up, she whispered.
"Hello," Chen Yi replied.
"She is my younger sister, Zhao Zijun. She rarely goes out, so she's a little shy." Zhao Xuan introduced.
Sister
Chen Yi looked puzzled.
“Sister, not stepsister,” Zhao Xuan explained.
Chen Yi nodded.
Although I hadn't heard about Zhao Xuan having a sister before, that makes sense considering the Zhao family has always been quite mysterious.
"Come on, let's go in." Zhao Xuan pulled Zhao Zi Nan's arm and walked towards Chen's house.
"Hmm," Zhao Zijin replied.
At this moment, Zhao Zinan slightly raised her head.
At a glance, Chen Yi's eyes changed immediately.
Her willow-shaped eyebrows were slender, and her obsidian eyes were clear and glistening, shimmering like stars. Though she lowered her head slightly, one could still see her delicately sculpted nose and her rosy lips.
Although I couldn't see the whole face, it was still breathtakingly beautiful!
It's so beautiful!
Chen Yi almost couldn't help but reach out to stop Zhao Zi Nan, wanting to take a closer look.
But reason told him it was not proper, he could only give up and bid Zhao Zinan farewell.
"Zhao Xuan actually has such a beautiful younger sister!"
Chen Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and at the same time, a fire ignited in his heart.
Now the Chen family is the number one martial arts family in Huaibei, their status is unprecedented. There must be many families who want to climb up and establish relations with them.
If it were possible to marry into the Zhao family...
Chen Yi's eyes lit up.
……
"Zi Nan, you're still a princess of our Zhao family, and you're not unattractive either. Why have you always been like a quail hiding behind me" Zhao Xuan turned around and said to Zhao Zi Nan after walking for a while.
"But... I don't know these people," Zhao Zijun said timidly.
"Grandpa asked me to bring you here so that you could meet some new people! If you keep hiding, wouldn't it be a wasted trip" Zhao Xuan raised an eyebrow and said.
“I, I’m afraid…” Zhao Zi Nan buried her head down and whispered.
Zhao Xuan looked at his younger sister and sighed helplessly. He reached out and touched Zhao Zi Nan's head, comforting her: "Although not everyone here are friends, at least they aren't enemies. You don't have to be afraid. Besides, I will always be by your side."
"Well, brother, you're right. I'll always be by your side!" Zhao Zijun looked up, her eyes gleaming, and said.
Looking at Zhao Zinan's innocent and trusting face, Zhao Xuan felt a pang in his heart.
Remembering the instructions his parents and grandfather had given him before he left today, he felt a wave of sadness wash over him.
Such a good sister, how could he bear to marry her off
Guests at Chen's house were increasing in number, most of them from prominent families and sects in Huaibei, while a smaller portion came from other regions.
And all the young talents who participated in today's martial arts tournament have arrived.
However, these young people were not in high spirits, and even seemed a bit gloomy.
They are well aware that today they are merely here to play the role of supporting characters, highlighting Chen Luo's power.
As we are all young people with ambition, none of us want to be a stepping stone for others.
But due to family obligations, they had to come.
Han Qi was also among this group of people.
Compared to other young people, Han Qi's expression was much more composed.
But Han Qi was merely outwardly calm.
The last time I visited the Chen family, the scene of being humiliated by Chen Luo is still vivid in my memory.
At first, Han Qi felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation and anger.
But he quickly calmed down.
In the martial arts world, strength is paramount. This is an unchangeable fact.
Now Chen Luo stands at the peak of the martial arts world, trampling all his opponents underfoot.
Han Qi regenerated his qi, but he couldn't change this fact.ng him like wolves. 。As a result, naturally, the subordinates who reacted came over and besieged him once again. 。Seeing that the two were about to be beaten to death, Fang Yu stepped forward and dro...
