Chapter 188 - Arrival of the Master Xuan Shui
Three months later!
The sky was clear, and everything was new.
A carriage slowly approached from outside the city gates.
An army of tens of thousands of Li had long stood outside the city gate and welcomed them.
The two people who stood at the front of the crowd were surprisingly the Marquis of the Hidden Soil Sect, Chen Wantu. And Chen Haoru was now standing respectfully by Chen Wantu's side. Everyone's expression was solemn, as if they were waiting for the arrival of some great figure!
Before daybreak, they came out to put on their ceremonial act and wait quietly.
From sunrise to sunset.
When the sun was about to set, a carriage finally appeared in front of the gate.
Chen Wantu respectfully stepped forward to welcome him, prostrating himself on the ground, he shouted: ”Chen Wantu, respectfully welcome Master Xuan Shui!”
The carriage continued to move forward.
There was a thirty-something-year-old coachman in front of the carriage. Sitting on the horse was a seventeen or eighteen year old youth. The youth had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked dignified and imposing, and between his brows, there was an indescribable cold and domineering aura. This was the aura of someone who had been in the upper echelon for a long time.
For a youth who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, to be able to cultivate such an aura was an incredible feat.
The horse carriage slowly arrived in front of Chen Wantu.
Warriors on both sides were kneeling on the ground and cheering loudly.
Chen Haoru crouched on the ground and shouted three times: ”Welcome, Master Xuan Shui!”
The horse carriage stopped, and the teenager on top of the horse coldly glanced at Chen Wantu: ”You are the hidden earth marquis, Chen Wantu?”
Chen Wantu said: ”I am indeed, I have been waiting here for a long time! Only wait until Master Xuan Shui enters the city! ”
The youth's brows twitched as he said proudly, ”Yes, I heard my master mention you.” Said you were an obedient person. Bring us into the city! ”
Chen Wantu replied respectfully: ”Yes, Young Noble, please follow me into the city!”
The General's Estate of the Hidden Earth Province, the Military Administration Hall!
Chen Wantu, Chen Haoru and a bunch of important figures all knelt down respectfully in the middle of the hall, facing the main seat of power, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to move an inch!
At the seat of honor was a white-haired old man in his fifties.
The old man wore a purplish-golden robe, exuding an imposing manner. Even if he didn't say anything, he gave people a feeling that he was the ruler of the world, a presence that determined life or death. Beside him stood the seventeen or eighteen year old youth. He also had an imposing manner and was overweeningly arrogant.
The old man took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: En, Chen Wantu, get up!
Only then did Chen Wantu stand up with Chen Haoru. Her forehead was already filled with cold sweat!
The old man said: ”This is my disciple Wu Bing! An expert who was only eighteen years old and was at the peak of the ninth level of the Heaven realm. A student of the Empire's number one academy! ”
The introduction stunned everyone present.
Chen Wantu immediately and respectfully greeted: ”Chen Wantu greets Sir Wu Bing!”
Wu Bing stood by the side of the Master Xuan Shui with a cold face, not even sparing Chen Wantu a glance.
Chen Wantu was extremely unhappy. One had to know that Chen Wantu was the marquis of a province. He was an existence that stood above tens of thousands of people in the Hidden Soil Sect. But this Wu Bing didn't even look at him and didn't reply.
This was simply blatantly slapping him in the face.
But even so, Chen Wantu did not dare to say a single word!
The Master Xuan Shui took it for granted and continued, ”This time, I came to the Hidden Soil Sect to prepare for the matter of Nine Sects choosing a disciple. I am not only representing Clear Sky Sect to select disciples, but also representing the deliberation team of the Nine Sects to come here first and do some preparations. Seven days later, all the deliberation groups for Nine Sects's disciple selection will arrive! The most pressing matter now is to choose a location! ”
The Nine Sects needed a place to settle down.
Once the location was chosen, the geniuses of the seven provinces of the Hidden River Valley would rush over to participate in the disciple selection.
If this address was chosen from somewhere in the Hidden River Seven Provinces, it would represent the supreme glory of this place. Every time the Nine Sects picked a disciple, the seven provinces of River Valley would fight for it. This kind of glory would greatly benefit the reputation of the province.
Chen Wantu continued, ”The Hidden Soil Sect is a wise place to stay. I think that this time, the Nine Sects would be the most suitable disciple to be chosen from the Hou Residence of my Hidden Soil Province! ”
Master Xuan Shui slightly said: ”Un, I also think that this place in the Hidden Earth Province is pretty good. However, Jiang Yan Province, Jiang Huai Province and the Province Pinghai are also not bad. ”
Chen Wantu said: ”I am willing to give you three hundred billion purple coins! I request Master Xuan Shui to stay in my province! ”
After saying that, Chen Wantu respectfully handed over a black card, on it were recorded the amount of money he had stored.
Master Xuan Shui received the card with a smile, placed it in his hand and started to guess: ”Un! Chen Wantu, you sure are considerate. The Tibetan province is my first priority. I will submit my proposal to the deliberation group. The disciple selection location will be at the Hou Mansion in the Hidden Soil Province! ”
Chen Wantu was overjoyed: ”Thank you, Master Xuan Shui. Please rest assured, master! I, Chen Wantu, will definitely put in all my effort to prepare for this, and I will definitely arrange the matter regarding Nine Sects's disciple selection properly! ”
Master Xuan Shui nodded slightly. This is your chance to make a contribution. Now, you publicly announce that my Master Xuan Shui has arrived at the Hou Mansion in the Hidden Soil Province, and then send all of the geniuses of the seven provinces of the Hidden River Basin to attend the selection of Nine Sects's disciples! I need a high class courtyard and three hundred beauties for me. I want to talk about life with them! ”
Chen Wantu almost vomited a mouthful of blood. He had just asked for three hundred beauties!
He was really direct, not concealing anything at all!
Seeing that Chen Wantu did not say anything, the Master Xuan Shui frowned: ”What? Can't do it? ”
Chen Wantu immediately replied: Yes, yes! I'll go and arrange it right away! ”
The Master Xuan Shui then revealed a smile, ”En, well done, I have another great reward!”
Chen Wantu said: ”Thank you, Master Xuan Shui!”
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
Master Xuan Shui walked out of the room with satisfaction. The sound of a few women crying could be heard in the room.
