The southern region was deathly silent.

The Sun family was silent.

The patriarch sat in the main seat of the conference room, silently bowing his head.

Some people were angry, but dared not speak. At this moment, the aura emanating from the patriarch was extremely terrifying, like a lion that was about to pounce and kill at any moment.

Sudden.

His phone rang.

Sun Denglou looked down at the caller ID—Qin Nianzhen.

He answered the phone, and the other party got straight to the point.

"1000 billion, I'll save him."

Hearing this, Sun Yunling's mother excitedly stepped forward and knelt before the patriarch, saying, "Father, Yunling can be saved, right?!"

But I never expected it.

Sun Denglou's eyes were icy: "Why should I save him?"

"His performance today was completely unworthy of the Sun family's status, let alone being the ruler of Nanzhou."

"If he lives, he will become an even bigger weakness for the Sun family."

Qin Nianzhen said leisurely, "The talent 'Return of Myriad Spirits to the Stars' is priceless. For his sake, you even asked Long Yichuan for a few beads to help him raise his basic talent to the ultimate level. The price you paid was considerable."

"Are you really willing to give up like this?"

"War is imminent," Sun Denglou said indifferently. "Even if I save him now, he'll still die on the battlefield. Why don't I wait until everything settles down and the war is over before slowly trying to save him?"

"I'm not going to die that early."

Qin Nianzhen smiled and said, "900 billion."

Sun Denglou: "50 billion, that's the most he's worth."

"Heh." Qin Nianzhen snorted and hung up the phone.

50 billion? Who are you trying to fool?

Grandma Sun, standing to the side, trembled as she said, "Father."

"Yunling is your own grandson!"

Sun Denglou glanced at her and said, "Guards, drag her away."

Sun's mother felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and was taken away crying.

He remained seated in the gloomy conference room with a sullen face, like a cold-blooded animal.

He's already lost 300 billion today, and he's not going to spend tens of billions more to save a good-for-nothing.

On the road to supreme power, those who cannot keep up will be sacrificed, even if that person is his own grandson.

Sudden.

My phone rang again; it was a text message.

Sun Denglou looked down and saw that it was Long Yichuan.

"I saved your grandson, but from now on he will be a member of the Long family army. I'm just letting you know."

Sun Denglou's expression changed immediately upon hearing these words.

Sun Yunling is a legitimate member of the Sun family and a native of Nanzhou. If he can truly be taught well by Long Yichuan, he will definitely compete for the position of Lord of Nanzhou in the future.

The problem is, he is no longer a member of the Sun family.

If Long Yichuan can really accomplish all of this, then his own Nanzhou will become a piece of land in his hands.

"That's not appropriate," Sun Denglou replied.

Long Yichuan: "I was also at fault for this failure. He is still a child, and he should always have a chance to correct his mistakes."

Sun Denglou: That's not what I'm talking about.

Long Yichuan: "What else could it be? I don't understand."

Sun Denglou's eyes were gloomy. In the end, he didn't say much about that distant matter, but changed the subject and talked about current affairs.

"How much did you give her? Last time in Congress you could get the Western Heaven Sect Master on our side, next time she can get that snob on her side."

Long Yichuan: "You don't need to worry about these things. After the next Congress, the Central State Secretary will definitely be Long Tai."

Sun Denglou's expression changed slightly; he couldn't figure out what Long Yichuan was going to do.

……

Jiangzhou Stadium.

As Chen Shigang walked out of the players' tunnel, Xue Xin leaped over him.

The two embraced tightly, the girl's eyes filled with tears, her voice choked with emotion.

The young man gently stroked her head, comforting her.

The master and mistress, who were walking one after the other, were talking in hushed tones.

Di Yun stated that nothing had just happened; the person who rushed to the barrier and went berserk was someone else, and it certainly wasn't him.

Chen Wan'er just smiled and nodded, saying "Mmm, mmm, mmm, my husband is right."

Only when the two walked up to Chen Shi did Di Yun clap his hands and say, "Not bad, not bad, you did a good job just now."

Chen Shi asked curiously, "Who was the girl who appeared last and saved me?"

Xuexin whispered, "Didn't we meet yesterday?"

"Yes, but I don't know who she is." Chen Shi frowned slightly. "She saved my life, so I should at least know her name."

Chen Wan'er smiled and said, "Grandma Qin."

Chen Shi's pupils suddenly contracted, utterly shocked.

"She...she...she's the fifth member of the Human Race Congress?"

"Yes." Chen Wan'er nodded gently.

"Because of the cultivation method, she has always maintained the state of a child."

"That's why everyone calls her Granny Qin."

Chen Wan'er paused for a moment, then asked, "You saw her yesterday?"

Chen Shi explained to Xue Xin what had happened yesterday.

Chen Wan'er sighed, "Then she is the martial spirit guardian she left for you back then."

"I'm afraid no one knows about this except for Granny Qin. Your grandfather doesn't know, and neither do your master or I."

Chen Shi was amazed.

Chen Wan'er smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. Granny Qin wants to see you."

"Before that, let me leave a few words for the people of Jiangzhou and Beizhou."

"Okay!" Chen Shi nodded emphatically.

He was taken to a press conference where countless reporters had been waiting for a long time. The dashing young man walked out from a side door, strode to the microphone, and faced hundreds of cameras and flashes.

Then the reporter asked a question!

"Chen Shi! I want to ask you, how did you feel when the other person's Martial Soul Guardian Avatar appeared?"

After taking a deep breath, Chen Shi confessed, "I hope someone can save me. Nobody wants to die."

"But no one showed up, so at that point I thought I might die."

"Then die standing up."

"That's how I felt and thought at the time."

The reporters were full of admiration, and then one of them asked, "So you had no idea you also had protection?"

Chen Shi nodded and said, "I don't know."

"So how did you feel when you survived?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I'm glad."

"I feel very lucky to have received help from a benefactor."

Then, the reporter asked a few more questions.

Are you worried about retaliation from the Sun family?

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Could you please give your evaluation of Sun Yunling?

"A person who doesn't know how to cherish opportunities could have been stronger, but he wasted a lot of time, which is obvious to everyone."

At last.

"Is there anything you would like to say to the people of Jiangzhou and Beizhou who support you?"

Chen Shi looked up and said earnestly, "I will never let you down."

"As long as I fight for you, there is no way I can lose!"

Thank you everyone.

Chen Shi bowed slightly, then turned and left.

The entire audience erupted in applause as they watched the formidable young man depart.

Supporters from afar couldn't help but smile and applaud.

The boy has grown up and is no longer afraid of wind and rain.
