Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

As the most outstanding genius in the three generations of the Jin family, he is hailed as a potential successor to the patriarch and a new cornerstone of the clan.

Today, Jin Qilin finally understood what a "dimensional reduction attack" meant.

It should be noted that the Jin family was already planning his promotion to Grandmaster on his eighteenth birthday in order to build momentum for him.

Even for the old man's 90th birthday, he deliberately invited those extraordinary people in order to collect spiritual herbs for himself.

Hopefully, he can become a Grandmaster before his eighteenth birthday, becoming the first person in a hundred years.

But what did he see today...?

A grandmaster in his early twenties!

Do not!

He's not just a Grandmaster, he's a Grandmaster who can easily crush Gu Changfeng!

In other words, this Chu Nan is definitely not a Grandmaster who has only recently been promoted.

He most likely became a grandmaster before the age of twenty.

And what about yourself?

Although it is possible to accumulate drugs and, with the help of the ancestor's meridian-opening techniques, forcefully break through to the Grandmaster level at the age of eighteen.

Is it possible to advance to Grandmaster in the next three years?

Let alone three years, it might even take thirty years!

This extreme disparity instantly swept away all the glory that the Golden Kirin had accumulated!

If you say you are a genius that is one in ten thousand, then what is this Chu Nan?

Is he... even human?

From the auction of the Heavenly Dew Pot, to the interrogation of Luo Changqing at the teahouse, to the casual disabling of the Bear and Snake Duo in the foreign market, and now to today's events.

After hearing Kim Sung-yeol's words, the entire inner hall remained quiet for a while.

"He knocked away the Heavenly Dew Pot, injured Luo Changqing, crippled the Bear and Snake Duo, and defeated Mr. Gu."

Jin Jiucheng slowly exhaled. "Do you think this is something a junior doctor at a community clinic could do?"

Kim Sung-yeol lowered his head, not daring to reply.

Jin Jiucheng turned to look at Gu Changfeng beside him.

Gu Changfeng had changed his clothes and his injuries had been treated, but his face was still ashen.

He leaned back in his chair, his arm wrapped in thick bandages, his fingers trembling slightly—a lingering effect of the backlash from the internal energy.

"Mr. Gu, what's your opinion?"

Gu Changfeng remained silent for a long time before speaking: "In the past ten years, I have fought quite a few grandmasters, but there are almost none who have completely crushed me like he has."

Everyone's expression tightened; Gu Changfeng had actually used the phrase "almost none" to describe it.

"The fight between us seemed evenly matched, but to be honest, I felt that he never used his full strength from beginning to end."

"When I used Rift, I had a vague feeling that the reason he didn't interrupt me was simply because he wanted to see what I could do."

Gu Changfeng twitched his lips and gave a bitter smile, "It's embarrassing to say, but in his eyes, the attack I put in with all my might was just a bit of entertainment for him."

The inner room felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it; everyone's face looked extremely grim.

"What I find even more incomprehensible is his age."

Gu Changfeng lowered his voice, "A grandmaster in his early twenties is unprecedented in the entire world of supernatural beings."

"Don't even mention a community clinic; even if those reclusive sects poured all their resources into it, they couldn't create such a monster."

"I'm certain that he has some powerful connections, and it's very likely related to some ancient tradition."

He raised his head, looked at Jin Jiucheng, and said, word by word, "Patriarch, I, Gu Changfeng, have been treated kindly by the old master in the Jin family for the past ten years, and I have always worked diligently."

"Today, I have failed in my duties and disgraced the Jin family. I am ashamed to continue in this position of honor. I hereby resign to the head of the family!"

Jin Jiucheng waved his hand, "What are you saying, Mr. Gu? Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Today's events are a calamity that my Jin family was destined to face. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Gu. Please take good care of your injuries and don't say anything more."

Gu Changfeng opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

"Grandpa, what should we do if Chu Nan really has a huge power behind him?" Jin Qilin suddenly asked.

Jin Jiucheng glanced at him, then scanned the crowd below.

The crowd looked at each other, none of them able to offer a clear explanation.

Jin Jiucheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Gu, I wonder if the Grand Elder is a match for that kid?"

"The Grand Master is the perfect Grandmaster realm. Although this seclusion is not enough to break through to the Celestial Realm, the peak of the Grandmaster realm will definitely be reached."

Gu Changfeng spoke haltingly, as if he was carefully choosing his words, "I am only at the mid-stage of Grandmaster cultivation. The Perfect Realm would be enough for that kid to crush me."

"If the High Priest were to make a move, he might be able to capture that brat, but..."

Seeing Gu Changfeng hesitate, Jin Jiucheng quickly pressed, "But what?"

"However, as I just said, that kid's cultivation level seems unfathomable to me. The only thing I can be sure of is that he has not yet reached the Celestial Realm. But whether he is a Grandmaster in the late stage, or at the peak, I cannot be sure."

"After all, this kid has only shown a few tricks today, and nobody knows what his trump card is."

"If, and I mean if, he really is from an ancient sect with a history spanning thousands of years, his most secret skills are probably far beyond what we can even imagine."

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiucheng's expression instantly darkened.

He originally thought that the Grand Master's return from seclusion would be enough to regain the face he had lost today.

But now it seems that's not the case at all.

There is even a possibility that he could be defeated and humiliated by Chu Nan again.

Just then, the Golden Kirin couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Grandpa, if we ask the Ancestor to come out of seclusion..."

"shut up!"

Jin Jiucheng's expression changed drastically. "Our ancestor has been detached from worldly affairs for many years; who dares to disturb him? This matter must not be mentioned again!"

The golden unicorn lowered its head, remaining silent, but its expression clearly showed some resentment.

Jin Jiucheng, speaking in a softer tone, said, "Qilin, you are the most outstanding member of the Jin family in this generation."

"I know very well why you are upset, but you must understand that Chu Nan's background is mysterious. We have no idea what his trump cards are, let alone what his background is."

"If we rashly invite the Ancestor out, and there are celestial beings backing him, wouldn't that bring trouble upon the Ancestor?"

"But Grandpa..."

"alright."

Jin Jiucheng stood up. "Everyone, disperse for today. Shouye, you keep an eye on Chenglie. He is not allowed to leave the house for the next three days."

"Shouzheng, you're in charge of taking inventory of the warehouse and seeing what's missing."

"Jin Zhong, go and make arrangements for the injured. Also, account for the losses incurred from today's banquet."

"yes!"

Everyone accepted their orders and began to act, thus concluding the meeting.

The golden unicorn's feet felt like they were filled with lead, and it moved extremely slowly.

As he passed Gu Changfeng, he paused. "Mr. Gu, based on your experience, is this Chu Nan... truly as terrifying as he seems?"
