My Ares Son-in-Law

Qin Xianglan was visibly relieved when she heard that Xiao Chen was also going to attend that metaphysical exchange meeting.

"In that case, I'll drive to pick you up later."

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

The two hung up the phone.

They then traveled together to Yu Zhiqiang's villa.

Yu Zhiqiang's villa is located in Pingshan Lake, which is the most expensive villa area in the provincial capital. Those who can afford to buy a villa here are the top tycoons in the provincial capital.

After Qin Xianglan parked the car, she and Xiao Chen walked towards the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was very large, easily accommodating over a thousand people, but at this moment, only a few dozen people were seated, making it quite spacious.

These people are from the metaphysical world, so their clothing styles are quite unique, including Tang suits, Taoist robes, Western suits, Zhongshan suits, and all sorts of other things.

Different teachers and different rules have led to this somewhat chaotic situation.

However, everyone was very confident, as if they were all the right people in this industry.

The moment Qin Xianglan and Xiao Chen entered the banquet hall, everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.

But it only lasted for a moment; most people turned their attention away because they didn't find it appealing.

Whether it's Qin Xianglan or Xiao Chen, they are both young people and obviously not big shots in the industry, so they naturally wouldn't care.

Of course, some people looked at them with mockery, as if they were so great, while Xiao Chen and Qin Xianglan were just passersby.

Yu Zhiqiang, the host, was standing in the middle of the banquet hall, chatting and laughing with several important figures, looking every bit the big shot. When he saw Qin Xianglan, he nodded politely, but when he saw Xiao Chen, it was pure mockery.

He even went over to Xiao Chen and said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this Zhou Keying's pretty boy boyfriend? How come he's changed careers to become a metaphysics master? But the title of master is not simple. Not just anyone is qualified to approach him. If you mess it up, you might lose your life."

As Yu Zhiqiang's voice rang out, several people around him echoed him, each one speaking more harshly and scathingly than the last.

"Miss Qin, don't be fooled by this kind of scoundrel. When you're looking for a master, you'd better keep your eyes open!"

"Exactly! These are all big names in the field of metaphysics. It's laughable that they would dare to muddy the waters and pretend to be experts here!"

"Does he really think everyone else is a fool? I just don't understand why Master Huang sent an invitation to this kid. What qualifications does he have?"

……

Hearing these words, Xiao Chen smiled disdainfully. A bunch of insects, you'll regret it later.

Qin Xianglan's face was very ugly. She wanted to retort, but Xiao Chen stopped her: "Let them be arrogant for a while. There will be a good show to watch later."

The two turned around and sat in a corner, chatting while waiting for the exchange meeting to begin.

Yu Zhiqiang wanted to step forward and say a few more sarcastic remarks, but Huang Qiankun came out at that moment, and he quickly ran over to curry favor with him.

"Master Huang, you've arrived!"

"Hmm!" Huang Qiankun nodded, his golden clothes particularly eye-catching, exuding an aura of "I am a master".

"Young friend, you've arrived too! Welcome, welcome!" Huang Qiankun glanced at Xiao Chen with feigned concern. He was genuinely afraid that Xiao Chen wouldn't come; if Xiao Chen didn't come, who would he deal with?

Immediately, he and Yu Zhiqiang sat in the main seats.

After the others were seated, Huang Qiankun smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I am from Hong Kong Island and I am not qualified to say this, but seeing the chaotic situation in the metaphysical community of the Western Region, I am really heartbroken. So I plan to establish an organization to elect the number one venerable one in the metaphysical community of the Western Region."

"This Venerable One will command all the metaphysical circles in our western region. All matters must be approved by him. Only in this way can we grow bigger and stronger!" "How should this Venerable One be chosen?" someone asked.

It seems that everyone is quite interested and confident, probably because they all believe they can become a Venerable One.

Huang Qiankun smiled and projected the rules directly onto the large LCD screen in the banquet hall. He then explained, "The rules are very simple: one-on-one competition, any branch of metaphysics is acceptable. The winner of each match will receive a reward of one million, while the Venerable One will ultimately receive a prize of ten million."

"Don't worry about the prize money, everyone. Yu Zhiqiang and the boss will provide it. Of course, there is a special clause here. Please read it carefully: the winner can choose not to take the money and instead take one of the loser's treasures."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to discuss it animatedly.

"One million for each win, and a ten million prize for the champion! How much money is that?"

"As expected of Boss Yu, he really is rich and powerful!"

"The problem is that if we lose, they might take the treasure away, which is a bit troublesome."

"Could this Master Huang be deliberately trying to steal our treasures and then become the venerable one of our western region?"

"Are they taking advantage of the fact that there's no one left in the Northwest?"

Money was tempting, but no one present was a fool. After reading the rules, they understood that this was definitely not a simple exchange of skills.

This was a trap that Huang Qiankun had meticulously set up for everyone present.

Seeing that everyone was not in a good mood, Yu Zhiqiang smiled and stood up, saying, "Everyone, don't overthink it. Master Huang is doing this for the sake of the metaphysics of our western region. You are all capable, but how can you win against people from other regions if you fight alone? Choosing a leader will only benefit us and not harm us. In this way, we can unite as one and see who dares to bully you."

"I, Yu Zhiqiang, don't want any personal gain, but I'm sponsoring this exchange meeting. Can't you all see my sincerity?"

Immediately, some people stood up to object.

"Hmph, we in the Western Region have our own rules. Who gave a Hong Kong metaphysics master the right to come here and show off his power?"

"Exactly! Who does he think he is, and why should he interfere in our affairs? We can choose a leader behind closed doors, but he can't participate!"

……

There were those who opposed it, and naturally, there were those who agreed. After all, not every metaphysician is rich; there are quite a few penniless people among them, and those prize money is simply too tempting.

Moreover, if one is lucky enough to become a Venerable One, wouldn't that be like rising from the ashes to become a phoenix overnight?
Money and power, you can have them all.

Seeing the crowd discussing the matter, with some in favor and others against, but no one standing up to speak out.

Huang Qiankun's expression gradually turned cold.

"I, Huang Qiankun, did everything for your own good, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. Those who don't want to participate can withdraw now. However, I remind you that once you withdraw, there will be no possibility of joining the alliance again, and you can forget about ever establishing yourself in the metaphysics circle again!"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one left.

But they are well aware of the consequences of withdrawing.

After a long silence, some bold individuals finally decided to make a move.

"Master Huang, let me see what your skills are like!"

A middle-aged man in his forties stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

"How shall I address you?"

"My name is Qin Feng, the 83rd generation direct descendant of the Golden Lock Jade Gate lineage. I have long heard of Master Huang's great reputation in Hong Kong, and today is a good opportunity to learn from him in person." (End of Chapter)
