After a night of thrilling battles, Chu Tianxiao finally completed all four steps of the plan - 'breaking the myth', 'picking peaches', 'killing the true destiny', and 'seizing the thunder spirit'.
These things didn't take long, just one night, but the effort and calculation involved were actually huge. Even with Chu Tianxiao's determination, he breathed a sigh of relief after successfully absorbing the earth punishment thunder. Then, a tide of drowsiness surged into his heart, causing him to faint...
Fortunately, this place is remote and sparsely populated. When the morning light shone on Chu Tianxiao, he woke up slowly. Although he still felt sore all over, his strength had recovered a lot. After meditating here for another half an hour, Chu Tianxiao set off and returned to the Young Master's Building.
At this time, Mu Liuling and a group of people had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Chu Tianxiao return safely, the last heavy stone in his heart fell.
The three villains behind her were even more "tearful" and were so moved that when they saw Chu Tianxiao, they wanted to rush forward to show their loyalty, but they did not act because they were frightened by Mu Liuling.
Of course, even so, a lot of flattery is definitely indispensable...
"Young Patriarch! You are finally back!"
"Young Master, you didn't come back all night last night. I was so worried about you!"
"Young Master, please don't do this again. You are our... Chu family's hope. If anything goes wrong..."
"Bah! Shut up! Isn't the young master back safely?"
"Hehe... I'm excited, really excited! Young Patriarch, you don't know what a great comeback we've won this time!"
Chu Tianxiao waved his hand, found a place to lie down, yawned and said, "Sorry to make you worry... Well, tell me, how was the situation last night?"
Mu Liuling bowed and said, "Yes, young master. Last night, Liuling went to Jingdu Dan Pavilion to take over and successfully captured the members. Now all the forces of Jingdu Dan Pavilion have turned to support the young master to ascend to the position of young master. Here is the contract, please take a look."
As she spoke, she handed over a contract. Chu Tianxiao glanced at it and said with a smile, "A bunch of old foxes. As I expected, they are quite good at changing their attitude according to the situation!"
"Yes." Mu Liuling nodded and said, "Kyoto Alchemy Pavilion has always put profit first. The young master showed his prowess at the Youth Alchemy Conference this time and defeated Chu He. Now... they all look favorably upon the young master! The profit they offer is 10% more than before. He is very good at dealing with people..."
"Oh? What's the exact number?"
Mu Liuling smiled when he heard this: "Well... Let me keep you in suspense for a while, I'm afraid you'll be too proud, young master."
"..." Chu Tianxiao was speechless for a while, then smiled, "So, it's a lot?"
"Um."
"More profitable than taking over the Young Master's Building?"
"No more, no less!"
"Wouldn't that mean it would have to be worth over 10 million?"
"… Up to now, the young master has earned hundreds of millions of spirit coins for the Chu family!"
"Hiss..." As soon as these words fell, there was a sound of people sucking in their breaths. Even Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed: "No wonder you are in the mood to joke with me. It seems that the situation is really good..."
"Yes, young master." Mu Liuling nodded. "The comparison between you and Chu He at the Youth Alchemy Conference has caused a stir within the family. We have greatly expanded the manpower in the Young Master's Building, including many elders who came over from Chu He's side... Liuling has been carefully screened, so please rest assured, young master."
As Mu Liuling spoke, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her gaze as she looked at Chu Tianxiao was full of admiration.
"You defeated the alliance of the nine great divine families in one night and turned the tide. Your reputation in the family is now unparalleled!"
"Far beyond Chuhe!"
"In addition, those Divine Marquis families that were caught in the net have been severely damaged. Although we cannot say that they have weakened, at least, in this battle for the Imperial Garden, their ruthlessness has been weakened to the extreme... We can almost declare that these Divine Marquis families have been excluded from the battle for the Imperial Garden! You have eliminated nine powerful enemies at once. The Third Master is extremely satisfied with this matter. He has instructed that when you come back, please go to see him immediately..."
Mu Liuling smiled slightly: "But I think, with your personality, you won't leave without first hearing the battle situation... In your words, you won't leave until you are satisfied, right?"
Chu Tianxiao shrugged upon hearing this, and said with a bit of a smile: "So this is the image of me, the young master, in your mind?"
Mu Liuling smiled without saying anything, just looking at Chu Tianxiao, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident. She was also too happy, too happy, who would have thought that Chu Tianxiao could achieve this in such a short time!
As long as he meets Mr. Chu San, he will almost certainly turn to support Chu Tianxiao. Not to mention that turning the tide is what he wants and is in the family's interest, why didn't Chu Zhongtie want to support Chu Tianxiao at that time? Wasn't it because of the battle for the Imperial Garden that the Chu family couldn't have internal strife? But what about now? Once the nine powerful enemies in the battle for the Imperial Garden retreated, the pressure on the Chu family was greatly reduced!
Therefore, Chu Zhongtie publicly supported Chu Tianxiao, and there was only one sentence left! In this way, Chu He's advantage in high-end combat power would be gone!
The situation... has really been completely opened up! After taking over the Young Master Building, Chu Tianxiao, who has the support of Chu Zhongtie, can truly stand up to Chu He's forces and is not inferior to him! In terms of prestige, he even surpasses...
And what about before? Before Chu Tianxiao came to Kyoto, Chu He had 90% of the Chu family in Kyoto in his hands. They were run as solid as a rock! How long has it been? Just half a month... In just half a month, Chu Tianxiao was able to fight Chu He head-on!
Thinking back to that night half a month ago, Chu Tianxiao's "three-step plan" was shocking. If he had said it at that time, it would have caused countless people to laugh at him, but now? He has already completed two steps!
Looking back, it was like a dream!
"Master! You are truly... amazing!"
Even Mu Liuling, who believed in Chu Tianxiao the most here, couldn't help but feel excited and overwhelmed by such a brilliant record.
"Haha... It's just a small matter, it's all a small matter." Chu Tianxiao waved his hand in a very annoying way, and Mu Liuling was even more excited, "How can it be a small matter? Young Master, you don't know how terrible Chu He's scheme is. There are some details that Liuling still can't fully understand, and he can't imagine how he tricked so many Divine Marquis families into his trap, but... It was such a wonderful scheme, but you, young master, easily took advantage of it! Chu He is already a demon, and you are even better than him!"
Chu Tianxiao laughed: "Liuling, you just said you were afraid that I would be too proud... Even if you praise me like this, I won't raise your monthly salary."
Mu Liuling curled his lips, but he also knew that Chu Tianxiao said this because he was in a good mood, so he was happy for him.
Then, Chu Tianxiao threw a crystal card over: "But... Here, take a look at the reward!"
Mu Liuling had expected this, so he smiled and took it, bowing and saying, "Thank you, young master."
"Okay, I should go see Uncle San..." Chu Tianxiao stood up and stretched, but suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, is there any movement over there at Chu He?"
