Martial Master

Qin Chen naturally did not pay attention to these invitations and refused them all. However, he did express interest in cooperation with Master Gu Yao and the others. If there was a possibility for collaboration, Qin Chen certainly wouldn’t waste it.

In the Ancient Saint Tower, Qin Chen had gained quite a lot, and what he needed to do now was to go back and comprehend these gains, turning them into his own strength.

To this end, Qin Chen even refused the invitation from Wan Gu Lou Tian Xing Zhen Ren.

The news spread at an astonishing speed, and the whole of Yunzhou was discussing Qin Chen’s feat of entering the Ninth Tower. As for the second-ranked Yun Mengze, he was often only mentioned in passing when people talked about Qin Chen, completely reduced to a supporting role.

Of course, besides being shocked by Qin Chen’s achievements, many people in the state capital were secretly mocking Qin Chen, saying that he was ungrateful and had given up the opportunity to join the Martial Arts Department, choosing instead to take the Refiner examination, which was a path to self-destruction.

They also spread the bet between Master Chu Ye and Qin Chen, which not only became known in Yunzhou but also spread to some surrounding states.

“Chen Shao, someone is deliberately spreading this, making it impossible for the people of Tian Gong to play favorites.”

In the Dust Pavilion, Master Gu Yao said with a gloomy face. Now the outside world was spreading the bet between Elder Chu Ye and Qin Chen, which didn’t seem like casual talk, but rather as if someone was targeting Qin Chen on purpose.

“These guys, they’re too detestable. It must be the Yunzhou State Lords.”

Ao Qingling and Qin Tingting were furious.

“Don’t overthink it, just do what you need to do.”

Qin Chen said indifferently, “Everyone should be busy from now on, don’t waste time on these trivial matters.”

What followed was indeed busyness to the extreme.

Various major forces began to cooperate with the Dust Pavilion. Even before its official opening, the Dust Pavilion’s reputation had already resounded throughout Yunzhou, and even beyond to places like Yanzhou and Lingzhou, forces had heard of its name and wanted to cooperate.

Overnight, the Dust Pavilion’s fame in Yunzhou was completely established, exploding in popularity.

“Bang!”

“Damn it, this Qin Chen is truly detestable.”

In the Yunzhou State Lord's Mansion, Yun Mengze smashed a starry sandalwood chair with a punch, trembling with anger.

“State Lord, that Qin Chen is too arrogant, he must not be allowed to have an easy time.”

Li Wanxue gritted her teeth and said. Qin Chen was too strong, so strong that she had even lost hope of revenge, and she was very fearful inside.

“I’ve already sent people to spread the word about his bet with Tian Gong, but it’s still too difficult to bring him down.”

Yun Mengze said through gritted teeth. If he could, he would wish to send someone to kill Qin Chen right now. But he also knew that Qin Chen was now under the watch of countless people, and as the Yunzhou State Lord, he absolutely couldn’t do such a thing, otherwise, it would implicate the entire Yun family and completely destroy them.

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded.

“If you can’t bring him down, why not think about winning him over?”

A tall figure walked in, like an ancient divine king, exuding a peerless aura.

“State Lord.”

“Father.”

Li Wanxue and Yun Mengze quickly saluted.

“Father, do you want me to win over that guy?”

Yun Mengze raised his head, incredulous.

“Why not?”

Yunzhou State Lord Yun Dongguang sneered coldly, “Qin Chen has no conflict with our Yunzhou State Lord's Mansion, the only conflict is with the Hunhuo family.”

Yun Dongguang’s gaze fell on Li Wanxue, who felt a chill all over, an indescribable fear welling up from the depths of her heart.

“State Lord, I… my Hunhuo family is willing to let go of the hatred and follow the lead of the State Lord.”

Li Wanxue hurriedly knelt down, trembling with fear. She knew she had to show her stance, otherwise, what awaited her would definitely be a nightmare.
