The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 358: Mu Xingchen of the Mu Royal Mansion

The Southern Celestial King is actually a title representing the strongest in the entire Southern Country region, including these three major cities, symbolizing the supreme power of the Southern Country.

However, currently, the Southern Celestial King is not at the Yang City Yue Family but at the Southern Region Chen Family.

The Chen Family is different from the four great families in Tianjing; it is a thorough martial arts clan and remains almost hidden from the world.

The reason is nothing else; the true Chen Family is a major martial arts clan of the Outer Hidden Sect.

In fact, the Southern Region Chen Family is just a facade.

Among them, Chen Xiaolong of the Chen Family is known as the foremost mighty figure of the Outer Hidden Sect, boasting the Martial Emperor Peak strength that dominates the Outer Hidden Sect.

The Southern Celestial King more specifically refers to the hidden martial arts influences in the Southern Country, the strongest of the Outer Hidden Sect.

The forces included here are numerous, even extending to the Celestial Dragon Temple and Mu Royal Mansion in the Yun Gui area.

Especially the real heritage of the Mu Royal Mansion is also considered a martial arts family of the Outer Hidden Sect, just extremely low-key, with very few people knowing about it.

It can be said that the forces in the Southern Region are intricate and complex, far surpassing what Tianjing could compare to.

After all, with the presence of major sects or clans from the Outer Hidden Sect within, the forces in Tianjing are relatively much simpler.

"Master, the person you’re looking for has too little information available. For now, it’s impossible to determine their whereabouts, but the people I’ve arranged to find him are in place."

Upon disembarking from the plane, Shen Huamo couldn’t help but speak.

"However, according to the information, he might be hiding within a family in the Southern Region, maybe as a servant, or perhaps as a steward. But soon, it will be the grand birthday feast of Chen Xiaolong’s father of the Southern Celestial King! By then, the Outer Hidden Sect Chen Family will return to the worldly Chen Family’s ancestral home to hold the feast, and the Southern Celestial King will also be present. Surely, many people will attend to offer their birthday wishes! At that time, it will be easier for us to conduct a thorough search."

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you!"

Ye Qingtian nodded in agreement.

In the airport corridor, someone suddenly tapped Ye Qingtian on the shoulder, "Ye Qingtian, why are you here?"

"Huh?"

Shen Huamo looked at the woman in front, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Ye Qingtian turned his head to look at the woman in front, curiously asking, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"I am Ye Qingtian. I’m Yue Huijun!"

Yue Huijun flipped her long hair and leaned close to Ye Qingtian to let him see her face clearly.

"Oh, it’s you. Keep your distance, don’t take advantage of me!"

Ye Qingtian instinctively stepped back.

"I heard Qianxiao returned to Huaxia with you, why isn’t she by your side? Could your trip to the Southern Region be to celebrate Elder Chen’s birthday?"

Yue Huijun couldn’t help but ask.

"Me wishing him a happy birthday? Haha, I would only wish for him to die later!"

Ye Qingtian sneered.

Then he was about to leave.

"Hey, don’t leave yet. This time I’ve come especially for Elder Chen’s birthday feast. In the next few days, it’s estimated that people from all over the world will return to the Southern Region."

Yue Huijun couldn’t help but say.

"What does that have anything to do with me?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

"It has a lot to do with you! Although I study in the United States, I’m very familiar with the Southern Region. Just so happens I’m the host, you’re the guest. I can show you around."

Yue Huijun said joyfully.

"I don’t have the time. Besides, we’re not that close."

Ye Qingtian replied coldly, then left with Shen Huamo.

"You... Ye Qingtian, you bastard..."

Yue Huijun was almost exploding with anger.

It was her first time inviting a guy; it took her a lot of courage to say it out loud.

Yet she was heartlessly rejected by Ye Qingtian!

Not that close?

We went to school together and even faced life-and-death moments together in New York.

And we’re not close?

For a moment, Yue Huijun felt all the anger she had never experienced before surge all at once.

"Ye Qingtian, you bastard! Next time we meet, I won’t pay you any attention either! Humph, think you can out-cool me? Impossible! This lady isn’t unwanted."

Filled with fury, Yue Huijun pushed her suitcase away.

Originally, she was not in a good mood because this return was, on one hand, for the rare grand birthday feast of Elder Chen.

On the other hand, it was to meet her fiancé, the eldest son of the Mu Royal Mansion in the Outer Hidden Sect, Mu Xingchen.

As for Mu Xingchen, Yue Huijun had never met him before.

The unknown is always frightening for people.

Moreover, Yue Huijun has always opposed this marriage arrangement.

Now Yue Huijun was angrier than ever.

Ye Qingtian and Shen Huamo arrived at the reserved five-star hotel.

Not long after, Shen Huamo found Ye Qingtian and said, "Master, news came from that side. It’s said that the person we’re looking for, Liu Zhishang, has connections with the Chen Family and has received favors from Elder Chen. He will likely attend this time."

"Alright, then we will wait."

Ye Qingtian said.

He had previously dispatched the Shadow Race to investigate, but Liu Zhishang was too deeply hidden, having long changed his identity and couldn’t be found.

In the evening, Ye Qingtian and Shen Huamo dined at the hotel restaurant. This restaurant is a revolving restaurant located on more than thirty floors, offering a view of almost half of the Southern Region’s night skyline.

Many people came specifically for its reputation, so this restaurant is a place for the wealthy to visit.

Ye Qingtian and Shen Huamo dined quietly. Shen Huamo dressed thoughtfully, trying to stay low-key.

Therefore, very few people noticed them.

Gradually, the restaurant became crowded. At the table next to Ye Qingtian came four girls, dressed luxuriously, styled fashionably, fair-skinned with beautiful long legs.

Each had an outstanding temperament, evidently from prominent families.

After seating, the laughter among the four was endless.

The four girls held their phones, sharing with each other and enjoying the fun in it.

It turned out they were playing with the most popular short video app of the past year. Fragmented short videos reduce costs, and the content maximizes its entertainment value.

Through short videos, everyone shares life and various events; many funny skits can also be recorded.

The short video app gradually attracted ordinary people and was favored by the wealthy young generation, allowing them to share their privileged lives and gain different pleasures.

For example, these four frequently share their lives on short video platforms, each video garnering tens of thousands of likes.

The most beautiful among the four, Chen Xiaoxiao, hailing from the secular Chen Family of the Southern Region, is the eldest daughter of the Chen Family.

She regularly shares on the app about her family’s sports cars, showing a different one each month.

Several videos have reached over a million likes; she currently has two million followers, comparable to some online influencers, or even celebrities.

This has made Chen Xiaoxiao increasingly fond of this app, constantly swiping videos whenever she has time.

"Xiaoxiao, this video is quite good!"

The friend next to her handed a phone to Chen Xiaoxiao.

The video on the screen was humorous: in a restaurant, someone exchanged a piece of meat back after grabbing vegetables from their bowl to another’s table.

Usually, strangers show a stunned expression, making the video quite funny.

Of course, those daring enough to shoot such videos are beauties.

Such videos enjoy a lot of popularity, with each gaining tens of thousands of likes.

"This is fun; I want to shoot a video like this too!"

Chen Xiaoxiao exclaimed with excitement.

With her appearance, the video is sure to catch on.

Strangers wouldn’t just give her meat but also approach her for a conversation, asking for her contact information.

"Come on, you guys help me film it! Do a good job, let’s try to get it right the first time!"
