Chapter 1826: Xiao Chen’s Doubt
Nan Xiaofeng and Wu Xiaotian were overjoyed.
Unifying Hongmen was their focus; as for the little episode just now, they were merely spectators.
It was certainly good for them if Zhabu, the Grand Lama, won, but if he lost, it did not matter. No one knew, and it had no impact on them.
After all, Zhabu’s opponent was a mysterious entity, one even Zhabu himself could not fathom.
Now that the Grand Lama indeed appeared at the tea meeting, they naturally rejoiced, having such a powerful force meant unifying Hongmen was a settled matter.
But one thing was for sure, Nan Xiaofeng would treat Tianbao Temple as forbidden territory, as it housed a being of extraordinary capabilities.
If it weren’t for the mercy of the other party, they would have long become corpses.
"When the time comes, let Luobusang and Damingding take action first, if they fail, I will step in personally!"
Zhabu’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Thank you, Master!"
Nan Xiaofeng and Wu Xiaotian exchanged glances, their eyes full of delight.
Within Tianbao Temple.
Xiao Chen’s disciple was already drenched in a cold sweat, his clothes soaked through.
"Defeated Master Zhabu with one move in the void, could his strength be above that of my master?"
Xiao Chen’s disciple looked at Ye Chenfeng with a wary expression.
"Where did you learn the Killing Sword?"
Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
Ye Chenfeng sipped his tea and said, "Uncle Xiao, I already told you that my father left me many clues."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned deeply and murmured, "It shouldn’t be like this..."
"What’s wrong? Uncle Xiao, do you have any doubts?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
"It’s nothing, but with your current cultivation, you don’t seem inferior to my brother back then, I can’t see through you at all!"
Xiao Chen said in astonishment.
Ye Chenfeng smiled, "Since you said so, Uncle Xiao, I am even more confident now."
Xiao Chen looked at Ye Chenfeng with a complex gaze, "Chengfeng, there’s something I must say even if it’s unpleasant. If you continue on this path, you will follow the track predetermined by others and will be constantly used."
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze was clear, "Uncle Xiao, since I am already in the vortex, is it so easy to withdraw?"
Xiao Chen fell silent and said no more.
Upon leaving, Ye Chenfeng meaningfully said, "Uncle Xiao, if there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask!"
After Ye Chenfeng left, Xiao Chen’s disciple couldn’t help but say, "Master, with Ye Chenfeng’s help, our crisis would not be difficult to resolve!"
Xiao Chen sighed deeply, "How can I involve him?"
On top of the mountain, Xiao Chen watched Ye Chenfeng’s silhouette gradually turn into a black dot until it disappeared.
He showed a puzzled expression and muttered, "How can he know the Killing Sword, and he said my brother left him many clues, which is absolutely impossible. My brother didn’t want him involved at all! He had no reason to do this!"
Three days later, the Hongxing Group tea meeting commenced.
The day before, Yu Chisu and the gorilla personally invited Ye Chenfeng to participate, thinking he might be unaware.
"Let’s see! If nothing comes up, I’ll go over!"
Ye Chenfeng did not directly agree.
Yu Chisu and the gorilla couldn’t say anything more and had to leave, hoping in their hearts that Ye Chenfeng would come.
The villa in a part of the Capital City was bustling today, with a row of men in suits standing at the entrance, their presence intimidating.
The entrance was even more crowded with luxury cars, after all, it was the gathering of important figures from the Hongxing Group.
On par with a corporate annual meeting...
In the huge conference room of the villa, many people were already seated.
The Northern Faction of Hongxing Group was basically in place, currently represented by Yu Chisu and the gorilla.
On the other side, there were only a few people.
"The deputy head of the Southern Faction, Nan Xiaofeng, has arrived!"
The host at the door announced.
Instantly, the noisy conference room fell silent, and everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance.
Only to see Nan Xiaofeng and Wu Xiaotian striding in with arrogance.
"Nan Xiaofeng, the Ghost-faced Think Tank, and Wu Xiaotian, the Tracker across a Thousand Miles, are both here... The Southern Faction has brought its main force this time!"
"I’m afraid the Southern Faction intends to reclaim the Northern Faction this time!"
...
Instantly, exclamations came from the crowd, and the Northern Faction was unsettled.
"Huh? Are there also lamas?"
But when everyone saw the two lamas behind the group, they were greatly shocked.
"Those are disciples of Zhabu, the Master from the Esoteric Buddhism of Tibet, it’s rumored that Master Zhabu’s prowess has long reached the Heavenly Rule Realm!"
"A master in the Heavenly Rule Realm? My God! The Southern Faction is really serious this time!"
"It’s challenging for the Northern Faction to find even an Innate expert, and here comes a Heavenly Rule Realm powerhouse..."
"Although they are just his disciples, they are both Heavenly Realm experts, my Northern Faction is in danger!"
The Northern Faction became even more anxious, sweating profusely.
Members of Nan Xiaofeng’s group took their seats, showing a composed demeanor.
"Should I call you Madam Rose or Miss Yu Chisu?"
Nan Xiaofeng looked at Yu Chisu and asked with a meaningful smile.
"As you wish, Deputy Head Nan!"
Yu Chisu replied indifferently.
Nan Xiaofeng took a sip of tea and couldn’t help but ask, "Why don’t I see the God of Wealth, the head of the Northern Faction?"
Yu Chisu smiled slightly, "Deputy Head Nan, don’t you know the position of the head of the Northern Faction has changed hands?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaotian reminded from the side, "Deputy Head, the current head of the Northern Faction is Ye Chenfeng, the rumored Forbidden God King."
Listening to this, Nan Xiaofeng seemed amused, "Brother Hou probably never imagined he’d end up defeated by a woman!"
"Nan Xiaofeng, what do you mean by that?"
The short-tempered gorilla almost jumped up.
Nan Xiaofeng forced a smile, "Please, senior, calm down. I only mention what’s being said outside, which might affect the reputation of our Hongxing Group."
"You..."
"Uncle Gorilla!"
Yu Chisu held back the angry gorilla.
As time passed, the topic of the tea meeting paused temporarily.
Suddenly, Nan Xiaofeng shifted the topic, "Actually, the main content of this tea meeting is about the unification of the Northern and Southern factions of our Hongxing Group. We have already discussed with several esteemed elders from the Group’s Elders Council, and their opinion is that for the sake of the company’s development, merging into one is essential!"
"Yes, unifying the Northern and Southern faction systems is good!"
"I agree. Once unified, we can integrate all overseas business industries as well!"
In the conference room, seven or eight elders from the Hongxing Group’s Elders Council all expressed agreement.
Typically, any major decision in the Hongxing Group must be approved by the Elders Council.
Nan Xiaofeng’s gaze landed on Yu Chisu, "Miss Yu Chisu, what is the opinion of your Northern Faction? It seems, so far, I haven’t seen your new leader!"
"Yes, where is Ye Chenfeng?"
"Still hasn’t shown up, could it be he’s scared?"
"It’d be simpler if the Northern Faction just merges into the Southern Faction, why bother?"
The Southern Faction members clamored arrogantly and aggressively.
