C230 The Situation in the Imperial City Was Unstable
Accompanying the thunderous applause of the entire audience, the curtain fell for the great battle of Earth Rank. The result was out of everyone's expectations, the winner was not Shen Yunxi, not Yao Zhan, not Shangguan Yan, and not even the most eye-catching King of Fame, Wei Qingfan.
Chu Hen, from the lowest level school's Heavenly Star Martial Mansion!
After this battle, Chu Hen's name resounded throughout Imperial Capital City, and his name spread far and wide.
There was no doubt that Heavenly Star Martial Mansion would rise again.
Huoyan City!
General's Mansion.
In a spacious yard, Long Zhan was playing with a few stalks of Sword Orchids with a spatula in his hand.
Even though it was a leisurely job, Long Zhan didn't have any expression on his face. Normally, Long Zhan didn't have time to do these things.
After all, he was the one who had to handle the big and small matters of General's Mansion.
However, in the past half year, the situation of the General's Mansion had become increasingly dire. Ye Family, Liu Family, combined together to suppress General's Mansion, seizing most of the economic resources.
As a result, the things that Long Zhan could handle personally were getting fewer and fewer.
Even though General's Mansion was a power belonging to the imperial family, it could only be said to be former.
Ever since Old General Long Bo had left, Long Zhan had only carried the title of General's Mansion, maybe calling him 'Long Family' was more appropriate.
In reality, the large and small families in Huoyan City have also gradually started to address each other as' Long Family '.
Originally, no matter what, the Long Family was after all still related to the Ye Family, Liu Family, and the Liang Family's name, the Huoyan City.
Ever since a year ago when Chu Hen publicly crippled Liu Xiao at Ye Youu's birthday banquet, Long Zhan had continuously formed enmity with Ye Family and Liu Family for Chu Hen.
After the disaster continued to grow and the two families teamed up to suppress them, the Long family's life in the Huoyan City became more and more difficult.
Fortunately, the Liang Family's patriarch, Liang Hui, thought of his old friendship and would occasionally secretly help Long Zhan. This allowed the Long Family to barely be able to maintain the clan's current economic profits.
"I wonder how my three children are doing now?"
Long Zhan stopped what he was doing and let out a sigh of relief. He had some thoughts in his mind.
"Patriarch, Patriarch!"
At that moment, an extremely anxious voice could be heard from outside the courtyard as a young guard hurried in.
"Patriarch, something bad happened. Ye Family wants to buy our land in the south of the city, as well as the Liang Family. They dug up all the servants in the shops in the north of the city."
"You've gone too far!" Long Zhan's eyes flashed with a cold light. He clenched his hands into fists. The small shovel in his palm was bent by the hidden force.
The land deed in the south of the city and the shop in the north of the city were the only two economic sources left in the Long family.
If they lost these two assets, the Long family would undoubtedly be defeated.
This Ye Family and the Liang Family were going to completely cut off the Long Family's livelihood!
"Patriarch!"
Before Long Zhan could recover, another figure hurriedly ran in.
"What is it? Then what kind of ruthless moves did the Ye Family use? " Long Zhan shouted.
"No, no!" The guard shook his head like a rattle drum, his face full of excitement, "Di, Imperial Capital, news came from Imperial Capital City, Young Master Hen, he …"
"Hener?" Long Zhan clenched his fists and asked anxiously, "What happened to Hener?"
"Young Master Hen won the championship in College Martial Arts Competition!"
"What?"
The sudden news made the other guard turn pale with fright. Long Zhan frowned and the gloominess on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Hahahaha, my son is amazing, hahaha."
"Also, eldest young master has entered the top thirty-two, and second young miss has also broken into the Final Eight s!"
"Alright!"
Long Zhan was extremely excited, with a hint of surprise in his sharp eyes.
This was truly a happy occasion!
And then, yet another guard appeared at the entrance to the courtyard.
"Patriarch, Manager Li from the Fu Lu Chamber of Commerce has come. He said that he would like to discuss the matter of the shop that you were watching the day before with the Patriarch. He said that he will let us rent it for free for one year, and in one year, the rent will be halved!"
"There's also Boss Liu of the Silver Chinese Merchant Guild waiting outside. He told me to inform you that if our General's Mansion requires people, you can ask them to pay thirty percent of the service fee."
In less than half a day's time, the General's Mansion's gate was about to burst, and the threshold was about to be stepped on.
Aside from Ye Family and Liu Family, many large and small clan s merchant guilds that were very reputable all came over with gifts to display Long Zhan.
A year of coldness … the General's Mansion gate, at this moment, was especially fiery hot.
Even when Long Old General was still alive, he wasn't as popular as he was today.
"Please help me tell Patriarch Long Zhan that I will let you the land you told me about the day before yesterday for free. Oh, no, I will give it to you for General's Mansion."
"Please tell Patriarch Long Zhan that if there's anything that I can help with in the future, feel free to ask. As long as I have it, I will offer it up with my hands." Even if there are none, I will definitely lend it to you. "
"From today onwards, whoever dares to go against General's Mansion will be fighting against my Fu Lu Merchant Guild."
The tide was high!
Because Chu Hen had won, the entire General's Mansion ushered in a glorious moment that had not appeared for more than ten years.
However, at this moment, Long Zhan was in the backyard, drinking and playing games with the Liang Family's master, Liang Hui.
"Hehe, I say, brother Long. Right now, your hall is about to burst from the pressure. Why are you still playing chess with me?" Liang Hui smiled.
Long Zhan smiled indifferently. His valiant and extraordinary appearance was filled with a bit of frivolity.
"Although I, Long Zhan, am not some hero or hero, but I have always liked to respect my own heart. During the Long family's time of trouble, only you, Brother Liang, were generous enough to help us. I, Long Zhaofeng, will remember this kindness in my heart! As for those low down valley people who despise you and those people who support you in their glory, I, Long Zhan, disdain making friends with them! "
Long Zhan had a clear personality and an unyielding personality.
Great sorrow and joy to see themselves clearly, great ups and downs to see friends!
Long Zhan had his own pride. He only knew people that were worth making friends with.
"Hehe, Brother Long is an upright and honest man, I admire you."
"Brother Liang, you're being too serious!"
The two of them drank a cup, then Liang Hui let out a long sigh of relief. He shook his head and chuckled, "Next up, that Ye Qing and Liu Xuan probably won't be able to sleep at night."
Imperial Capital City!
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had already passed since the end of the Earth Rank battle.
Even so, the heat surrounding the Earth Rank battle had not completely subsided yet.
"It's been a month, is Wei Qingfan revived yet?"
"I don't know!" Chu Hen's attack was really ruthless, Wei Qingfan did not die and lost half of his life. I will definitely not be able to recover in a short period of time. "
"Oh right, when does Great War of Heavenly Ranking start?"
"I don't know!" So far, no news has spread. "
"I heard a trace of rumors. It's said that this time's Great War of Heavenly Ranking is related to the Imperial Family."
Imperial Capital and clouds, fluctuating!
While the crowd was in heated discussion, the annual recruitment period of the academy was about to arrive.
Although the exact time had not been set yet, the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion s were as crowded as the streets. Every day, there would be people who would come and ask about the matter of recruiting Newbie Student.
In the span of a month or so, the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion seemed to be on the verge of rising again.
In the past month, the Heavenly Star Martial Mansion had naturally been immersed in a bustling atmosphere every day.
Chu Hen seemed to have become the most popular genius in the academy, and even slightly surpassed Ji Xian.
In the relationship between Mentor Xi Lan and Ji Xian, there were occasional sparks of friction between Chu Hen and Ji Xian, but no major physical conflicts occurred during the period.
The others all turned a blind eye to this.
The academy was giving all the students participating in the Earth Rank Competition star points.
Each participant received a reward of 2,000 star points, and those who successfully advanced to the first round of elimination would receive 6,000 star points, while those who made it to the top 32 would receive 20,000 star points …
Bai Yuyue, who had entered the top 16, had gained 30,000 star points!
As for Shao Yan, who had broken into the Final Eight, he had 40,000 points!
As for Chu Hen, who became the champion, he directly obtained sixty thousand Star Score.
Adding on the fifteen thousand Star Score, Chu Hen had a total of seventy-five thousand star points.
This meant that Chu Hen's academy badge would be replaced with black and he would have the qualification to leave the academy early. All the best resources in Heavenly Star Martial Mansion could be used as a priority.
It had only been a year since he entered the academy, and he had already obtained seventy-five thousand Star Score.
Chu Hen's result had directly crushed Ji Xian at that time.
"Today's cultivation lesson will end here. Everyone can disperse now. Also, Chu Hen, Ji Xian, the two of you still need to hurry up and cultivate, if you want to join Great War of Heavenly Ranking. "
"Yes, Mentor Xi Lan!"
"Understood, mentor!"
The crowd nodded and dispersed.
Ji Xian wanted to say something to Xi Lan, but Chu Hen was the first to walk to Xi Lan's side. "Teacher, how is your recovery going?"
Today was Xi Lan's first class in a month.
Due to the use of the Heavenly Shifting Holy Heart Arts, Xi Lan had always been in a weakened state, so Chu Hen and the others had basically been cultivating on their own during this period of time.
Although Xi Lan's face was still slightly pale, it was much better than before.
"I'm fine!" Xi Lan smiled faintly as a different look of gentleness appeared in her eyes.
Thinking about this, Chu Hen felt a bit ashamed, he never thought that the side effects of Heavenly Shifting Holy Heart Arts would be so great.
"Teacher, thank you!"
"That Mentor Xi Lan, please wait a moment!"
Without waiting for Chu Hen and Xi Lan to finish their words, a figure that seemed like a scurrying sun walked towards them.
"Teacher Luo Shan?"
The person who came was the senior instructor, Luo Shan. She walked in front of Xi Lan and said to the disbanded people, "Chu Hen and Ji Xian, the two of you go to the conference hall for a bit."
