840 Four Great Young Masters, Grand Music Banque (1/2)
”Caution steers a ship for ten thousand years. This matter is extremely important, and it will determine whether or not our Chen Family can take another step forward. We cannot afford to be careless! Furthermore, according to the report, the strength of the forces the Dongfang Family sent this time was extremely difficult to see through. If we send anyone else, and they end up startling the grass and scaring the snake away, the consequences will not be good.” Chen Qing Tian's face was sullen, but his eyes shone with a bright gleam.
Although Chen Qing Yun was still somewhat unable to understand, he did not say much more and left to pass down the order.
Chen Qing Tian looked at his third brother walking out of the hall with an expressionless face. However, his heart was actually turbulent like an ocean. ”Third brother ah, third brother; the importance of this matter, how could it simply concern just a mere worldly Dongfang Family? What we're doing is actually the grand vengeance mission of the Elusive World of Immortals and Lord Mo Wu Dao! Old ancestor Chen Chong passed away, and our Chen Family no longer has anything to rely on in the three Holy Lands. From the looks of it, in just a few more generations, we will be thoroughly stepped over by the other families. This task that the Elusive World of Immortals gave us this time is equivalent to a huge opportunity! If we don't perform well, the Chen Family's days… may not last long…”
Chen Qing Tian was both excited and worried when he thought to here. This was the first time in many generations that the three Holy Lands had given them an important task. If they could handle this matter well, they would naturally obtain Palace Lord Mo Wu Dao's favor. As long as the latter was happy and was willing to bestow them with a few cultivation techniques, martial skills, or other good things, it would be enough to allow the Chen Family to rise even further.
That way, although they lost Chen Chong, their old ancestor, as long as they gained the Palace Lord of the Elusive World of Immortals as their new backing, they would instead not decline, but rather rise to greater heights!
But if they failed, not only would the Chen Family have to face the counterattack of the Dongfang Family, even the other families under the three Holy Lands would take the chance to kick them while they were down. At that time, the family's declination would simply be an expected result. Even though their allied family, the Zhan Family, might not do anything at the moment, if it came to the worst case scenario, it would not be an impossible matter for the entire Chen Family to be wiped out!
Just thinking about that horrible result, Chen Qing Tian felt his entire body shiver uncontrollably.
So it was not wrong to say that this matter of dealing with the Dongfang Family was undoubtedly a huge opportunity! At the same time, it was also a knife hanging above their heads. Chen Qing Tian was determined to not make any mistakes! No matter the price, they could only succeed and were not allowed to fail!
As such, even for this 'minor' task of information gathering, he still sent out his most valued eldest son—Chen Chen!
The Xuan Xuan Continent was a place where talent was abound like the clouds in the sky. But there were only four most well known geniuses. All of them were young masters of aristocratic families and were jointly termed the Four Great Young Masters.
Although the Xuan cultivations of the Four Great Young Masters were considered extraordinary, they were not all that high level. But if one judged them by their minds, their schemes, and quick wittedness, it would truly be hard to determine a superior one among them.
The modest gentleman, gentle as jade. Young Master White Jade, Yu Chao Fan.
The graceful gentleman, carefree as the wind. The Carefree Young Master, Li You Ran.
Verdant bamboo, gaze piercing to the end of the skies. Sky's Edge Young Master, Duan Tian Ya.
No intimate friends who understand him, grief stricken; Heartbreak Young Master, Chen Chen.
This Chen Chen was exactly the Heartbreak Young Master among the Four Great Young Masters!
Chen Chen was a rare genius that appeared after several hundred years in the Chen Family! Only he was different from the other three great young masters. He was considered the odd one out among the Four Great Young Masters. Because this Chen Chen was actually extremely well versed in both martial arts and literature, and was very accomplished in both areas as well. His results in Xuan cultivation could be seen easily. At such a young age, he had already entered the middle stages of Sky Xuan. With just one more step, he would be at the peak of Sky Xuan! And this year, he was only 26 years old!
Just looking at his cultivation talent, he was even comparable to a genius like Baili Luo Yun. One could even say that if Baili Luo Yun had not met Jun Mo Xie, the two would not even be on the same level given a bit more time!
Chen Chen was also considered the first cultivation prodigy in over 500 years that could follow in their ancestor, Chen Chong's, footsteps!
Chen Chen was not only talented in cultivation; his literary talent was extraordinary, his mind was deep and scheming, and he was also well versed in music—especially in the 'three formidables'. These three formidables were the zither, flute and the xiao. When he played on those instruments, it would cause the audience to sink into the music, even forgetting to extricate themselves. He would often sigh longly, lamenting that 'although the world is vast, there isn't a single person who can match my talent for me to confide in'. For this reason, he was also nicknamed 'Hate Confidant'.
And the moment this person attacked, his methods were exceedingly ruthless, without a shred of mercy. Someone once made a poem about him: ”Heartbreak Young Master hate no confidant, with the last rhythm of the song, striking out and breaking hearts of men!”
Everyone including the Zhan Family agreed that if Chen Chen continued to grow at his current speed, he would become the Chen Family's second Saint level expert after Chen Chong! In fact… he could even turn into a Saint King in the future!
This was also a big reason why the Zhan Family had intentionally improved their relationship with the Chen Family!
The other point was that Chen Chen and the pearl of the Zhan Family, their youngest daughter, the youngest cultivation prodigy of the Zhan Family and also the publicly acknowledged number one beauty in the Yu Tang Kingdom, Zhan Meng Die, were engaged to be married. If their plan to deal with the Dongfang Family was accomplished smoothly, Chen Chen would formally marry Zhan Meng Die, binding the two families together!
Chen Qing Tian had sent his trump card Chen Chen out right from the start. One could say that the importance he attached to the forces that Dongfang Wen Qing had sent over this time had reached an extreme level!
”Besides that, let's invite the four lordships of the family to follow alongside the First Young Master. The priority is to ensure his personal safety!” Chen Qing Tian continued, making his decision.
Chen Chen was the future and hope of the Chen Family. Nothing was allowed to happen to him!
”Since Young Master Chen Chen is personally acting, us two old men will also follow along in the darkness. The two of us are also very interested in seeing what kind of talent that black faced youngster from the Dongfang Family is like. We'll also take the chance to experience the 'ferocious and heavy killing intent' of those 20 guards ourselves. Keke.” The white robed old man on the left stroked his long beard and said with a slight smile. When he mentioned the words 'ferocious and heavy killing intent', his tone became heavy and a disdainful laugh could be heard.
