Chapter 89: Guest Official

Ye Xiong had been killed.

Several elders had been wasted.

The military might of the South Sky City’s Ye Family had greatly dropped!

Chu Tian’s strength had exceeded the imagination of the two great families and the two families had paid a larger price than they expected.Add in the fact that the Ye Family main forces were not currently in Central State City, they had no way to take revenge on Chu Tian.

Nangong Yi’s letter for help had already reached the Imperial City.

Once the Imperial City began to exert pressure on Central State City.

The Ye and Chu Families would have to stop moving against Chu Tian temporarily.

The next day.

The Wolf Fang Mercenaries announced their intent to leave.

The Ye Family had been in business in South Sky City for over ten years now.They monopolized the mercenary trade, they controlled the talisman business with Blackwater Commerce, and they teamed up with Li Changyun to control the medicine market.Their business had been booming and they made over ten million gold coins per year.

This kind of large pie, now they had no choice but to let it go.

Although it wouldn’t cut into the bones of the Ye Family, it would still slice off some meat from them.

The Ye Family has used the mercenaries to be arrogant for many years and the Meng Family were just one of their victims.But the people didn’t have any courage to say anything.

Now that this kind of miracle youth had appeared and ferociously slapped the Ye Family’s face, hitting the Ye Family until they turned into this.The people of the city couldn’t help but be happy, it was on the level of a celebration of a holiday.

………

South Sky City.

The Mayor’s Palace’s garden.

Trees lined the area and a hundred flowers bloomed, beautiful maids were working on the shrubbery.A cool breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples on the mirror like surface.The waves sparkled from the light, it was exceedingly beautiful.

In the small cabin in the middle of the beautiful lake, a young person was playing chess with a middle aged person.

The more than ten black robed people were standing like statues around them!

Pa!

Chu Tian placed down a game piece, “Sir Mayor, you have lost!”

The little fox was taking a nap on his shoulder, using its little claws to give a yawn.

Nangong Yi looked at the board and gawked for a long time before giving a long sigh, “Your play style, from times it is majestic, from times it is light and elegant, from times it is powerful and straightforward, and from time it is underhanded.It is hard for people to imagine!”

Want to play chess with me?

Try again in another hundred years!

Nangong Yi put away the board and pieces, “Life is like chess, a single mistake will end everything, one needs to be prudent.”

His words had reason, he didn’t know whether it was because he sad about Ye Xiong’s ending.All his crimes and his eventual retribution.Or if it was to warn Chu Tian to not cause more trouble.A single action could cause a lifetime of hate.

“The god of fate is also a player, the world is his board and all living things are his pieces.But how does he affect the pieces?Through heavenly knowledge and heaven’s will!”Chu Tian also started putting the board and pieces away, as he slowly said, “Even if humans enter the chess game, they are unable to move the player’s hands.Only by jumping off the board itself and going against the player can they do it.”

Nangong Yi’s heart slightly trembled.

Chu Tian’s seemingly casual words, were actually very profound.

This youth was not as simple as he seemed, he had high ambitions that normal people had no way of understanding!

What was he actually thinking off?

Jumping off the chessboard, becoming the player and playing against fate?

What a joke.Victory and loses, life and death, whether you were talented, could you resist destiny?No matter how strong a person was, they would still die from old age.This was one of the inevitable things in life.

“Come!”Chu Tian did not explain anything, rather he enthusiastically said, “Let’s play another game.”

“I’ll go first.”Nangong Yi impolitely put down a game piece while his mouth said, “Your Miracle Commerce must be busy.You little brat wouldn’t come to the Mayor’s Palace to play chess for no reason.Say it, what do you want.”

This old fox was quite shrewd.

“These words aren’t correct.”Chu Tian stretched out his back and once his body was relaxed he said, “Miracle Commerce is busy, but doesn’t it have the young miss and your daughter?I just killed Ye Xiong and removed a large spiritual burden.Now my body and mind is calm and I should rest for a few days.You already know that I’m very stressed!”

“You’re stressed?I can’t see it!But don’t think that the Ye and Chu Families are soft.You caused them a huge lose, you think they’ll let you go?”

“Then how does the Mayor think I should deal with it?”

Nangong Yi stared at him with narrow eyes, “You already have your plans, why are you still asking me?”

“The Mayor truly is shrewd, I can’t hide it.”Chu Tian plainly said, “The Mayor can keep me safe in South Sky City, but to cope with the Central State Families, I need to find a larger family to protect me.”

Nangong Yi’s hand holding the chess piece trembled!

Does this brat want to borrow the Nangong Family’s strength?

Then that would be too good.If he took this chance and reeled him in, then that would be a large merit to the family!

Nangong Yi didn’t show his excitement as he slowly put down the chess piece, “Seems like you know what you need to do, I recommend to join the Nangong Family!This position has a high status and you can enjoy a large resource ration each month.Our family has large resources, there are even authoritative positions we can give you, it’s a cheap deal for you!”

Joining the Nangong Family!

How many people dreamed of this

“Sir Mayor isn’t thinking about trapping me right?”Chu Tian did not appreciate the kindness.He put down a chess piece, “Although this is tempting, but once I am branded with the Nangong Family’s seal, in the future it would be hard to leave.”

“You not knowing good from bad fellow, what do you still want?”The corner of Nangong Yi’s eye twitched as he forcefully slammed a chess piece down, “The Nangong Family is one of the Three Large Families of the kingdom and we’ve inherited the phoenix bloodline.Is this not good enough for a deity like you?”

What kind of family?

With your kind of family, you still want to tie me down?

Actually when Chu Tian was still in the black market, he had already began to prepare for a rainy day

Why would he help Yun Yao improve her cultivation technique?Was Chu Tian truly that bored?

Chu Tian had taken the initiative to do this after completely understanding the Yun Family’s situation.The goal was for the Yun Family to owe him a large favour, one that he could use in critical moments.

Giving Cai Die the cure was also done based on this logic.Cai Die’s name was not a full name, but Chu Tian did not care what Cai Die’s surname was or who her family was.But from her appearance, if she didn’t belong to the Four Great Families, she would still not be from an ordinary background.

A relationship built and a speculative investment, to Chu Tian this was enough.

Now fishing for a relation with the Nangong Family, this was just to improve on perfection!
