C211 It Can be Compared to You
In the mortal world, there were many Martial Cultivation family like the Zhang family and the Muh family.
Ye family, even Lyi Fei's Li family, Lingling's Ling family, and Ruan Xiangjun's family were all the same.
While using the name of a cultivator, they were also making money in the secular world. The Hidden Clan, who thought they were high and mighty, naturally looked down on them.
However, this did not hinder the hidden sects' view of the Martial Cultivation family like the Zhang family.
This was because to them, whether it was a hidden aristocratic family or a martial cultivation aristocratic family like the Zhang family, they were all ants.
In order to continue the inheritance of the hidden sects, every ten years, the hidden sects would open their doors to the public and recruit disciples.
Compared to searching for a needle in a haystack, it was naturally more convenient to choose from the Martial Cultivation family.
This also gave the origin of this so-called Exchange Conference.
To put it bluntly, the Exchange Conference was actually a small test before the hidden sects formally selected their disciples.
It was also to measure the strength of the Martial Cultivation family in the secular world outside of the twelve hidden sects.
After all, there were too many families like the Zhang family. The hidden sects did not have the time to watch each family.
In other words, only the families that won in the exchange meet and exchange of pointers would have the qualifications to be questioned by the hidden sects.
Once they were lucky enough to be chosen to join the sect, it would mean that the family would soar into the sky.
The Tao family twenty years ago was the best example.
The Tao family in the past could not even be considered as the Martial Cultivation family. Only Tao Yuxin had the talent to cultivate, and was taken in as a foster daughter by the Ruan family.
After that, at the Exchange Conference twenty years ago, she represented the Tao family and participated in the competition alone.
She went through many difficulties along the way, and broke into the final selection. From then on, she was taken in by the hidden sects.
It was precisely because of Tao Yuxin that the Tao family followed along with the rise in power.
Even until now, Tao Yuxin had never returned. However, with the reputation of the Hidden Sect's disciples, no one dared to provoke the Tao family.
Even the various martial families were wary of Tao Tao.
After all, the hidden sects were the strongest forces in the Martial Cultivation World. In the legends, only the Hidden Sect had a Xiantian expert.
As long as one got close to the hidden sects, it was enough to scare people. It was also enough to make people fantasize.
It was precisely because of this that every social gathering was highly valued by the various large families, and they would dream of flying up a tree and becoming a phoenix.
"The social gathering is only a outpost, and it's also a qualification battle. Only after qualifying will one have the qualifications to participate in the hidden sects' entrance selection."
"So that's how it is. Alright, leave this matter to me. I'll take care of the Zhang family's advancement." Xiao Chen had a confident look on his face.
This social meeting was only open to the Martial Cultivation family in the secular world. The twelve hidden families were considered to have guaranteed their advancement, and they didn't participate in it.
If he could still lose, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself!
Of course, Xiao Chen had no interest in becoming a disciple of a hidden sect. What he cared about was the so-called hidden market.
Resources were hard to find, so Xiao Chen certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
After saying what needed to be said, the old man didn't stay any longer and left the courtyard shortly.
After the old man left, Gu Muwan carried a tray and walked in. When she saw that Xiao Chen's complexion was not bad, she clearly let out a sigh of relief.
"It's already so late, why haven't you returned home yet?"
"Sister Yu was called back by Grandpa Chu. Someone has to take care of you, right? You must be hungry, eat something first!"
As she spoke, Gu Muwan also came to the bedside. She held a bowl of porridge and scooped a spoonful. She blew it twice and passed it to Xiao Chen's lips.
"I'll do it myself!" Xiao Chen did not stretch his head out and only took the spoon over.
He noticed Gu Muwan's slightly conflicted expression and smiled. "What happened? Come, tell big brother."
"That, there is something you must not be angry about."
"Okay, don't be angry, just say it." Xiao Chen smiled. He did not know what she wanted to say to him.
After pursing her lips, Gu Muwan then told him about Cen Jin's nonsense and buried her head with a red face.
Suddenly, the porridge in front of him did not smell good. Recalling Chu Huaiyu's previous behavior, Xiao Chen finally understood something.
Seeing his frown and his face full of depression, Gu Muwan softly said, "That, I have already explained it to Sister Yu."
"Alright, I understand. Go and call Cen Jin over!"
After putting down the bowl of porridge, Xiao Chen's tone became stern and there was a hint of anger on his face.
Gu Muwan looked at him and could not help but bite her lips. A sense of loss filled her heart. She lowered her head and turned around.
After a while, Cen Jin rushed over anxiously. When she saw Xiao Chen's cold gaze, she knelt down with a puff.
"Disciple knows his mistake. Master, please punish him."
"I have already warned you, but you seem to treat my words as wind by your ears! It is not a big deal for me to be a man, but if you ruin Wan's reputation like this and spread it out, how will others look at her in the future?"
"Disciple was in the wrong!"
" Alright, get up. It seems like it is not suitable for you guys outside. Pack up and pack up. Get back tomorrow! "
Xiao Chen waved his hand and could not hide his disappointment. He originally planned to let Cen Jin bring a group of people to station in the Golden Orchid.
But now, he changed his mind.
"Disciple accepts the order! Disciple on Mistress's side will definitely explain to her clearly."
"Don't go and cause trouble. I will personally explain to Huaiyu. As for you all, shut up!"
Rubbing his head, Xiao Chen gloomily waved his hand and dismissed Cen Jin.
Just as he left, a voice came from the door.
"Wan, why aren't you going in? Why are you standing here?" As he spoke, Lin Yichao also stepped into the door.
Just as Xiao Chen turned his head, he saw Gu Muwan's rapidly disappearing back.
Lin Yichao scratched his head and walked in. When he saw Xiao Chen, he put away the suspicious look on his face and sat down on the stool.
"How are you?"
"I should be the one asking you this. Why are you so badly injured?" Lin Yichao glanced at Xiao Chen's waist.
Even though it was wrapped in gauze, the hideous wound was still lingering in his mind.
If it were someone else, they would have lost half of their life even if they didn't die. However, before the wound was exposed, Xiao Chen seemed to be fine.
"As you can see, it's just a small wound. It's not a problem! You, on the other hand, ran over so late just to see me."
"I heard you were awake, so I came over to take a look. In addition, someone from the Yuu family came. Wei also asked me to inform you."
"It would be strange if the people from the Yuu family didn't come!"
Xiao Chen wasn't surprised at all. He didn't say anything more and changed the topic, "I heard that this time, he has shown off his mightiness. How does it feel to be in the limelight?"
"Don't make fun of me. No matter how big the limelight is, it can't be compared to you." Lin Yichao smiled bitterly.
He suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said to Xiao Chen, "The casualties this time were not small. These formations of yours also..."
