"Also, contact the person we have planted and give us a rough outline of the transaction..."
After this was said, someone responded quickly. Not long after, the person's face changed. At first, he was incredulous, and then, he turned to be extremely angry. He said angrily: "Report to the young master, the Qin family has agreed to withdraw from the competition for the Imperial Garden! Mu Xin promised to compensate with two soul-awakening pills and three rotten heart and broken essence grasses, and also said that after arriving in Kyoto, there will be another generous reward..."
After saying this, Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes and laughed: "I shouldn't have seen it wrong? The letter in my hand... seems to not mention the word compensation?"
“… Surprisingly, it’s really like this!”
"hateful!"
“Too arrogant!”
"Those Divine Marquis families who are at a disadvantage are eager for this chance to catch their breath. Mu Xin must know this... Even they have been rewarded, but as the victims, we only have a few words of thanks?"
"This is too much! This guy is too much! Doesn't he take my Chu family seriously?"
Seeing the crowd excited, Chu Tianxiao continued to tap his fingers. In his mind, various clues and ideas began to converge, and a plan gradually took shape...
"First of all, we must take over the Imperial Garden. This is the most mysterious mansion since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It not only has extremely rich resources, but also has the Axisless Painting Spirit... Wait for a year? Will the Big Spendthrift System give me a year as the deadline for the task? It's ridiculous! I'm dreaming!"
"The second thing is... how to get it... Haha, since you guys have already set up the game, how can I, a prodigal, back down? It just so happens that I haven't been a prodigal for a while. Oh, I feel uncomfortable all over!"
"… Well, if the plan goes well, maybe we can get 'more'… Let me think about it…"
Chu Tianxiao's finger tapping speed began to slow down, and gradually, a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes. He shrank his neck and shrugged his shoulders.
"Very good, let's decide!"
Chu Tianxiao turned to Mu Liuling and said, "Liuling, send someone to pick up my mother as you said before... I originally thought I could give her a big gift, but now it seems that it should be a big gift and a bigger gift!"
After hearing this, Mu Liuling was a little confused, and she didn't understand why Chu Tianxiao suddenly changed the subject and talked about this, but she still hurriedly did as she was told, and then listened to Chu Tianxiao slowly speaking.
"Liuling, the so-called 'eldest disciple' hasn't arrived in Kyoto yet, right?"
"Hmm... According to the secret message, he should arrive within a day..."
"Haha, very good..." Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly, "Then... prepare the car."
…
The news of Mu Xin's letter spread throughout Kyoto, which was exactly what the Divine Marquis families who were unable to compete for the Imperial Garden this time wanted. The two sides hit it off immediately, and before long, rumors spread in Kyoto that no Divine Marquis families were involved in the competition for the Imperial Garden this time...
At this moment, the gate of the Chu Mansion opened, and the fierce Thunder Dragon Horse led the way, followed by dozens of carriages, rushing out aggressively, attracting many people in Kyoto to watch. Some insiders were even more puzzled: "What does Chu Tianxiao want to do?"
I don't know why, but many people from the Shenhou family followed me...
Soon, they knew what Chu Tianxiao was up to...
Because... he didn't go anywhere, didn't even turn a corner, and rushed directly to the most mysterious mansion in Kyoto... In front of the Imperial Garden!
Everyone stared at him blankly, and then he got off the car, turned around and said to the crowd behind him: "I know many of you are waiting for an answer, but... you don't have to wait."
"Of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou, Mu Xin sent his eldest disciple to fight for the Emperor's Garden?"
Chu Tianxiao sneered: "Let Mu Xin do it himself!"
"He's just a disciple... I won't play with him."
After the words fell, Chu Tianxiao did not give anyone time to react. He directly pressed one hand on the luxurious door of the Imperial Garden and knocked, saying loudly: "Is anyone there? Chu Tianxiao, come and buy the Imperial Garden!"
This sentence is simple and easy to understand, but because it is too simple, it sounds like thunder in the ears of everyone!
You know, the Imperial Garden is the most mysterious mansion in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When it opens every twenty years, what a solemn moment it is in the eyes of many people? Every time there is a fight for the Imperial Garden, all competitors are burdened with great responsibility and tremble with fear, fearing that there will be a slight mistake... But who would have thought that today someone would actually knock on the door of the Imperial Garden and ask if it is for sale...
"You think this is buying cabbage!"
Everyone was speechless for a while. Many of the Shenhou families who were hostile to the Chu family cast extremely mocking looks at Chu Tianxiao, thinking that a prodigal son is a prodigal son after all! This way of doing things is just impetuous! Can the Imperial Garden be the same as an ordinary mansion? Now there are still a few days before the opening day. If you knock on the door now, be careful of accidents!
This is not an exaggeration. You know, back then, when the Imperial Garden was about to open, there were some daring people who wanted to force their way into the Imperial Garden and seize the opportunity. But without exception, they were all killed by the Imperial Garden. It was then that everyone knew the horror of the Imperial Garden... Therefore, the rules cannot be violated. This is the earnest teaching of all the elders of the Divine Marquis families to the competitors of the Imperial Garden. Every time there is a dispute over the Imperial Garden, they will mention it again and again...
But now...
"Hehe... This prodigal son speaks in a grand manner, but he is still too impetuous! That is the Imperial Garden, wait and see, something bad is going to happen!"
"Otherwise... I think Chu Tianxiao is confident and doesn't look like a fool. Don't forget that even Chu He fell into his hands..."
"Hmph, let's put it this way. I don't believe he can be so lucky this time..."
Chu Tianxiao seemed to have lost sight of the discussions in the crowd. He remained calm, but Mu Liuling and the others beside him were panicking. After all, they had all heard of the power of the Emperor's Garden...
However, what no one expected was that at this moment, the gate of the Imperial Garden... creaked open, and an old man showed his head. He looked Chu Tianxiao up and down with his old eyes and said, "You want to buy the Imperial Garden?"
"Not bad." Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists.
The old man shook his head: "It's not time yet, please come back early."
“Hehe…” Chu Tianxiao laughed lightly and said, “Except for my Chu family, all the Divine Marquis families have given up participating in the election, so Chu Tianxiao… please buy the Emperor Garden, the ultimate trial!”
After he said this, the old man trembled all over, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "If you enter my sect, you will either die or be injured..."
Chu Tianxiao said calmly: "I will do my duty wherever justice demands."
Hearing this, the old man forced a dry smile on his face and said, "No regrets?"
"No regrets." A hint of confidence and determination appeared on Chu Tianxiao's face.
"Okay." The old man nodded, then opened the door completely from the inside and made a respectful gesture, "Please."
Chu Tianxiao nodded and walked in. Then, the door slammed shut... At this moment, everyone outside the venue was dumbfounded. The group of people who had previously mocked Chu Tianxiao for being reckless only felt as if there were ten thousand grassland mud beasts stampeding through their hearts...
"What's going on!"
"This... is going in?"
"Is this possible? Didn't they say that it's impossible to enter the Imperial Garden before the opening day?"
"... What we know about the Imperial Garden is incomplete. Did the Chu family know something, or did this prodigal son know something himself?"
"Wait... I just heard about the ultimate trial, what is that? I have never heard of such a term in the Imperial Garden..."
"Not good! We must inform the family, the situation has changed! We may have... become someone else's puppet!"
