Chen Fan called Zhou Tianhao to ask about Xu Rongfei’s father
“Xu Ao? Why did he come to Chu Zhou City?” Zhou Tianhao was shocked by the revelation
“Is he one of the top most powerful people?” Chen Fan asked curiously
“Master Chen, he was at the very top of the food chain in the Jiang Bei region” Zhou Tianhao answered
“How does he compare with the Third Lord of Wei? “Chen Fan asked
“Third Lord is way less powerful” Zhou Tianhao shook his head “Xu Ao runs a very successful outfit in Hai Zhou City Third Lord’s business was less than half the size as his”
“Master Chen, what is going on? Did he mess with you?” Zhou Tianhao asked nervously
“Nah I just found out that he is the father of one of ood; you don’t want to be in his way Even Third Lord dares not to cross Xu Ao”
“Really? I thought the Wei Faion Why is the Third Lord afraid of Xu Ao?”
“Well, Xu Ao is, of course, no ht of the Wei Family However, The Third Lord and his family are not… very close if you knohat I ht not even stand up for him”Zhou Tianhao smiled wryly
“And Xu Ao’s father in law is also a force to be reckoned with” Zhou Tianhao paused a second and said, “Anyways, all you need to know is that no one in Jiang Bei dares cross Xu Ao”
“That makes much more sense now” Chen Fan nodded as he realized that Xu Ao had risen to power thanks to his father in law’s protection
Judging by his interaction with Xu Rongfei and Auntie Xu last night, he didn’t seem to want to cut ties with his first family However, he also needed to tread carefully since it was impossible for him to divorce his second wife either
“Master Chen, I want to ask a favor of you” Zhou Tianhao said consciously
“What is it?” Chen Fan asked
“There will be a martial arts tournament in half a month This tournament is crucial to our business, and the outcome is tied directly to our next year’s profit Thanks to A’Biao, I was able to get by last year’s event However, I have heard that this year’s co to be Internal Force users too” Zhou Tianhao heaved a sigh
“A tournament?” Chen Fan’s interest was piqued
“Indeed” Zhou Tianhao nodded
“You are not talking about underground cage fighting, are you?”
Zhou Tianhao grinned and said, “Dear Master Chen, look atto you? It’s a normal tournament; everyone plays by the rules No one has been seriously injured ever since its conception ”
“These martial artists had trainedto work We have strict rules, and no funny business was allowed Each businessht would deter year
“You know better than me hoerful those Internal Force users are Just Linbao alone had nearly killed me How am I supposed to maintain my businesses for the next year if more Linbaos show up?”
Zhou Tianhao said with bitterness in his voice
Every year around this time, he had to stomach the humiliation from business rivals who happened to be more resourceful than him Many of his rivals invited world renowned Muay Thai kickboxers, Taekwondo masters or Baji Fist masters, but he had only one chaoing to enter the race this year, A’Biao would definitely not be enough to ensure the smooth operation of business next year
“You wantat the tournament?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows
“Of course I want to, but I wouldn’t dare ask you” Zhou Tianhao hurried an explanation
“I have already invited Master Guo as my champion Master Guo was also an Internal Force user However, he hasn’t partaken in the tournament for many years, so I want to invite you to come with me just in case
“If you are with me, at least people from outside of the city wouldn’t look down on us”
“Fine, I can see sense in that ” Chen Fan nodded”Might as well I want to o with you; just let me knohen to leave”
“Yes, yes,” Zhou Tianhao answered excitedly
After he had learnedthe Dharma Array
By then, one of the four co Array, was co Array had been underway ever since Third Lord of Wei had delivered the last shi+pment of deep-sea rocks As for the Mist Array and the Guardian Array, Chen Fan was still waiting for the material to be collected
“While I wait, I should hurry up and finish the Spirit Channeling Array The other two are not that important anyway”
Chen Fan finally made up his mind to finish the second array
In the next teeks that followed, he rushed home as soon as he was done school and started to work on those rocks froe; each was the size of an elephant and weighted a few tones They were just ordinary rocks and could only absorb a small amount of Water Qi per unit volume In order to meet the requirement of the array, Chen Fan had to rely on size
