“I heard that you were previously a guest elder of our Wan Gu Lou, but that doesn't mean much, because the guest elder order given by Tian Xing Zhen Ren is merely the most basic guest elder status.
However, this guest elder order is the guest elder senior order. With this token, you can inquire about any information at any branch of our Wan Gu Lou and enjoy the best treatment, even more honored than an ordinary elder.”
To become a guest elder, one must be a top-level expert, and the Grand Elder is indeed giving them face.
“I accept,” Qin Chen nodded. “Then I shall take my leave. In the future, I will surely trouble your Wan Gu Lou again. Also, this time I came here to discuss something with your Wan Gu Lou's Tian Xing Zhen Ren. I plan to establish a Chen Di Ge branch in Guang Han Fu, but this matter will be handled by my subordinates, Chi Mei and the others.”
Naturally, Qin Chen would not hide the matter of establishing Chen Di Ge from the Grand Elder, as many of his identities are transparent before Wan Gu Lou.
“Little brother, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for Chi Mei and Tian Xing Zhen Ren to discuss this matter,” the Grand Elder nodded.
“Then I shall take my leave. Chi Mei, the next matters will be left to you,” Qin Chen said. As his voice fell, his figure flickered, roaring like a true dragon soaring into the sky, swiftly traversing and forcing many present to retreat continuously. Even the Grand Elder’s robes fluttered, but he did not retreat, standing firmly in place, unmovable.
Yet, Qin Chen had already vanished without a trace.
The minister had given him a deadline of three days, and time was running short, so he had to leave Wan Gu Lou and return to Tian Gong at the earliest opportunity, awaiting the minister’s summons.
“Tian Xing Zhen Ren, you are now an elder of our Wan Gu Lou, primarily responsible for coordinating with young brother Qin Chen. Now, you and these disciples of Tian Gong should arrange the necessary matters,” the Grand Elder said as he looked in the direction Qin Chen had left.
“Yes, subordinate will take their leave!”
Tian Xing Zhen Ren immediately bowed and then left the conference hall with Ruo Rui and Chi Mei to discuss how to establish the Chen Di Ge branch.
Once these people left, the conference hall immediately fell silent.
“Grand Elder, that Qin Chen is too arrogant, actually directly extorting us for five mid-grade Holy Veins of Heaven Saints. This is truly outrageous! Why did you agree to him? With your strength, you could easily show him some colors and let him know the might of our Wan Gu Lou,” one elder stepped forward and said, a hint of cruelty on his face.
“He’s freely coming and going from our Wan Gu Lou headquarters, too arrogant! Even if he is the Holy Son of Tian Gong, he shouldn’t be so presumptuous. If word gets out, our Wan Gu Lou will definitely lose face. Why not find a way to suppress him? As long as we don’t kill him, just teach him a lesson, Tian Gong wouldn’t say anything either, and our Wan Gu Lou isn’t that easy to bully.”
“Indeed, this person is too overbearing, entering our Wan Gu Lou as if it were unguarded. What if he is the Holy Son of Tian Gong? He clearly doesn’t regard our Wan Gu Lou at all,” another elder remarked.
“We should show them some colors,” several elders coldly stated, all of whom were the ones who previously wanted to judge Tian Xing Zhen Ren. The Grand Elder's courtesy towards Qin Chen made them feel a sense of crisis.
If Qin Chen truly establishes a long-term partnership with Wan Gu Lou, it would inevitably strengthen Tian Xing Zhen Ren's faction.
“Hmph, suppressing him is not easy. The strength this child has shown is by no means as simple as you imagine. I have a feeling he still has trump cards he hasn’t revealed. If he truly unleashes them, even I cannot easily keep him,” the Grand Elder’s expression turned grave.
“What? You can’t easily keep him, Grand Elder?” Many elders were shocked.
