Martial Master

“Ji Ruyue is your wife? Haha, Ancestor Ji Tianyao, how come I haven't heard of this? Also, is this person your Ji Family disciple? Why is it that at your Ji Family's martial arts recruitment, this person can make decisions on behalf of your family? I must ask for clarification,” Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable coldly snorted, ignoring Qin Chen and instead fixating on Ji Tianqi and Ji Tianyao.

Clearly, he was trying to sow discord between Qin Chen and the Ji Family.

Indeed, the expressions of Ji Tianyao and Ji Tianqi instantly darkened. Although Qin Chen came from Tian Gong and had an extraordinary status, his actions were clearly disregarding the Ji Family, which was something they could not tolerate.

With a cold expression, Ji Tianyao looked at Qin Chen and said, “Sir, although you are a disciple of Tian Gong, my Ji Family is also an ancient clan from the Ancient Realm. It's not something that anyone can just trample on, don’t you think your words are a bit excessive? Moreover, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable Hall Master, this is my Ji Family's martial arts recruitment gathering. As a guest, shouldn't you restrain your disciple...?” Many people turned to look at Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable.

Indeed, as a disciple of Tian Gong, it was somewhat excessive for Qin Chen to openly rebuke the Master of the Thunder God Sect, Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable, and to make decisions for the Ji Family at such an occasion.

Regardless of Qin Chen's background, he was merely a disciple, a junior, and had no standing to speak here.

Many present were experts of venerable level from various top factions, and while they brought with them the young talents of their respective forces, these young talents could not be compared to the venerable level experts themselves.

Under everyone's gaze, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable suddenly laughed, “Ancestor Ji Tianyao, Qin Chen is not just a disciple of Tian Gong; I forgot to introduce him. This person is currently serving as Vice Hall Master in Tian Gong and is also acting Hall Master. Come, Qin Chen, greet the esteemed elders of the human race present. In the future, we will need you to discuss business matters with them.”

What?

This person is the Vice Hall Master of Tian Gong, and also the acting Hall Master?

In an instant, the whole venue erupted in commotion, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ji Tianyao and Ji Tianqi also displayed looks of shock.

They had thought Qin Chen was merely a holy son or a disciple of Tian Gong, at most just a steward.

But who would have imagined that he was actually the Vice Hall Master of Tian Gong?

What a joke!

What kind of power is Tian Gong? A top-tier heavenly venerable power, one of the most formidable factions among the human race. The Vice Hall Master must at least be a heavenly venerable expert, yet Qin Chen?

How could someone so young possibly serve as Vice Hall Master of Tian Gong?

No, wait.

Suddenly, some people recalled certain information.

They remembered that not long ago, information had come from Tian Gong that a person with the source of time had defeated numerous powerful figures within Tian Gong, causing quite a stir. Could it be this Qin Chen?

The Star God Palace Master and the Great Universe Mountain Lord felt a sinking sensation in their hearts. Was Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable trying to back Qin Chen up?

Just earlier, Ancestor Ji Tianyao had mentioned that Qin Chen was merely a disciple and needed to rein in his behavior, but now Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable claimed that Qin Chen was the Vice Hall Master and also an acting Hall Master.

How ridiculous; who doesn’t know that Tian Gong doesn’t even have an acting Hall Master position?

Clearly, Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable's implication was that Qin Chen is actually on the same level as the many sect masters present.

Not to mention, for a regular heavenly venerable power like the Thunder God Sect, it’s hard to say whether Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable or Tian Gong's acting Hall Master is more worthy of forming connections.
