Chapter 419: Chapter 420: Xu Family (2nd Update) (Subscribe, please!!!)

The Xu Mansion, although nominally a residence.

Yet, in reality, it occupies a corner of Douxuan City, with courtyards so vast they stretch as far as the eye can see, comprising millions of palaces.

This Xu family is one of the largest families in the Douxuan kingdom, with hundreds of thousands of Xu family disciples.

Chu Fengmian and his group, following Xu Jin, entered into the Xu family.

They arrived at a palace where a middle-aged man was seated.

This middle-aged man, appearing to be just over thirty, had an authoritative and imposing demeanor, signifying he was a revered peak saint.

However, Chu Fengmian noticed that this man’s strength was comparable to the Flower Robber, not inferior at all.

Although a peak saint, he was still accumulating strength and could step into the realm of life and death at any moment; his power was no less than that of an ordinary martial artist in the realm of life and death.

"Father."

Xu Jin spoke upon seeing the middle-aged man.

One word was enough to reveal the current identity of the middle-aged man; he was Xu Jin’s father, the current family head of the Xu family.

"Father, I’ve heard you encountered an ambush by the followers of Earth Demon Sect and that Flower Robber dared to attack you! If he doesn’t die, I must go to the Earth Demon Sect to seek justice for you!"

The Xu family head snorted coldly, his words filled with fury.

Their Xu family, though not as powerful as the Earth Demon Sect, could not be easily manipulated.

"You three saved my daughter; tell me, what rewards do you desire? As long as they aren’t too excessive, our Xu family can fulfill them."

The Xu family head turned and glanced at Chu Fengmian and his group, speaking directly.

The tone of the Xu family head was disdainful, presuming that since Chu Fengmian had come with Xu Jin, he must have come for some benefits.

Though their Xu family wasn’t the largest and wealthiest, they had some heritage; thus, he intended to give Chu Fengmian some benefits to send him away directly.

"No reward is necessary, we only wish for the Beimang Academy examination quota you promised Miss Xu, and then we shall take our leave."

Chu Fengmian calmly spoke.

He was not keen on entangling with Xu Jin; his visit was solely for the quota.

As long as they secured the quota for the Beimang Academy examination, Chu Fengmian and his group would leave directly, not needing any further delay.

"The Beimang Academy examination quota?"

The Xu family head’s brow furrowed, about to speak when Xu Jin interjected.

"Father, these people saved my life; they are my saviors. It would be rude not to host them."

"We’ve come all this way back; we should at least hold a banquet to receive them."

After finishing, Xu Jin turned to Chu Fengmian.

"Mr. Chu can stay at our residence for now. Since I’ve promised the Beimang Academy examination quota, there’s no rush. Tonight, we’ll hold a banquet to welcome you all."

"Hua Rui, please show these three distinguished guests to their rooms."

Xu Jin addressed a standing butler nearby.

This butler named Hua Rui led Chu Fengmian away directly.

Only after Chu Fengmian and his group had left did the Xu family head’s expression show some suspicion, turning to Xu Jin.

"Jin’er, we’ve already distributed the Beimang Academy examination quotas, selecting the disciples. How could you promise him that?"

"Besides, these people seem of ordinary strength; they’re not worth courting. Even if they saved you, giving them some rewards and sending them away would suffice."

The Xu family head spoke, gauging the realm of Chu Fengmian and his group at a glance.

Not even peak saints, possessing the seventh realm of Divine Power – though not bad, many like them could be found in the Xu family.

Certainly not worth courting.

One must understand that a Beimang Academy examination quota could attract a peak saint’s allegiance; its value was not insignificant.

"Father, do you think I’d really give them the Beimang Academy examination quota?"

A cold smile crossed Xu Jin’s face.

"I merely schemed to lure them here, to seize the Sumeru Space from them."

Her tone reverted to its previous chilliness, filled with schemes and venom.

"These three, through some luck, managed to kill the Flower Robber and take the Sumeru Space from his hands."

"What? Sumeru Space?"

The Xu family head exclaimed in shock upon hearing about the Sumeru Space.

"This is the supreme treasure from the Earth Demon Sect, said to be guarded by Ancestor Duti. How did it end up in the Flower Robber’s hands, and now these people have it?"

"If that’s the case, why delay? Let’s quickly seize the Sumeru Space. Having such a treasure as the Sumeru Space, if our Xu family could obtain it and present it to Beimang Academy, the benefits would be endless."

The Xu family head’s expression turned greedy, seeing the Sumeru Space as a prize everyone desired.

Even if they obtained it themselves, it would be useless; however, presenting it to Beimang Academy could exchange it for endless treasures to support the growth of their Xu family.

"It’s not that simple; although their realms are not high, that woman possesses extreme strength. I’ve fought her, and a single move would be undoubtedly disastrous."

"To steal it by force would likely result in mutual destruction."

"That woman could defeat you with one move? She is also in the seventh realm of Divine Power, while your strength can defeat even peak saints – how could someone defeat you in a single move?"

Hearing Xu Jin’s words, the Xu family head was greatly surprised.

He was well aware of Xu Jin’s strength. Han Yueli’s power to defeat Xu Jin was indeed unbelievable.

"Moreover, these people possess a massive fortune. I witnessed the man produce ten billion Nine Tripods Pills, and his wealth is probably far beyond what we see. I suspect they might have encountered some significant adventure or ancient treasure."

Xu Jin spoke slowly.

"Currently, it’s not advisable to be openly hostile with them. We can test the waters first. At tonight’s banquet, Father could invite people from the other two major families in Douxuan City, leveraging their power to probe them."

"If these people lack strength, we kill them directly; if they possess high potential, we can take this opportunity to court them."

Xu Jin spoke, her calculations meticulous and Seamless.

In her scheming, every outcome was engineered to her satisfaction.

"Alright, we shall proceed as you suggest."

The Xu family head’s eyes flickered, and he spoke decisively, disappearing from sight.
