On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Listening to Zhao Lei's effusive praise.

Lu Chuan almost burst out laughing.

Is this the thrill of showing off?

Don't tell.

This feeling.

It was actually quite enjoyable.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging."

Lu Chuan smiled and waved his hand.

"You'd better get back to work, I need to catch up on some sleep, I'm so tired."

"Alright!"

"Principal, please take a rest!"

"Just let me know if you need anything!"

Zhao Lei chuckled and ran off happily.

Lu Chuan smiled and shook his head, then went straight upstairs.

……

At the same time.

Nancheng Martial Arts Association.

Top floor conference room.

This place is usually very bright and spacious, with large floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of half of the southern city.

But right now.

The curtains were drawn tightly shut, not letting in a single ray of light.

The lights in the room were off, except for a huge holographic projection screen.

The cold, eerie light shone on people's faces, which was quite unsettling.

The long conference table was filled with people on both sides.

They were all high-ranking members of the Nancheng Martial Arts Association, sitting upright and not daring to breathe loudly.

Even the usually imposing and powerful president, Lei Qianjue, was affected.

I didn't dare sit in the main seat this time, but instead obediently sat in the first seat on the left.

In the main seat.

There was a man sitting there.

He's not tall, you could even say he's a bit short, maybe just over 1.6 meters tall.

He wasn't good-looking either; his appearance was unremarkable.

It's the kind of person you wouldn't even notice if you threw it into a crowd.

But the moment he sat down, the atmosphere in the entire conference room seemed to drop several degrees.

This man is Zhou Zhenxiong, the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Arts Association.

Last night, such a huge commotion broke out in Nancheng, even involving a battle between Emperor-level experts. It would be strange if the province didn't react.

Zhou Zhenxiong arrived early this morning by private jet.

At this moment, the blurry video from last night is playing repeatedly on the screen.

The video is very shaky.

All of it was filmed by drones.

Two streaks of blue light flashed across the night sky, followed by a deafening roar and an aura that seemed to cleave the heavens in two.

The video has finished playing.

Zhou Zhenxiong took a deep breath and couldn't help but tap his fingers lightly on the table.

"Da, da."

The sound wasn't loud.

But it sounded incredibly jarring inside the meeting room.

"hehe."

After a long silence, he suddenly gave a mocking laugh.

"That old bastard He Taiqing has really lost face this time."

"A dignified four-star Martial Emperor came to my territory to show off his power, only to be driven away by two swords without even showing his face."

"I heard even your protective true essence was shattered?"

"Tsk tsk, they're really getting worse as they get older."

The group of people below didn't dare to respond.

These kinds of jokes between big shots are best left unsaid; who would dare to laugh along?

That's because they're tired of living.

Only Lei Qianjue gritted his teeth and spoke.

"President, what happened last night was indeed too sudden."

"That mysterious powerful figure..."

"We still haven't found out who it is."

"All we know is that the sword technique he used is called 'Two Sleeves Green Snake,' and it's the same person who killed Ye Liuyun before."

Zhou Zhenxiong waved his hand dismissively.

"If you can't find it, then don't bother looking for it."

"If a master of this level really doesn't want you to know, even if you turn the entire South City upside down, it won't make a difference."

After he finished speaking, he sighed again.

"However, I am genuinely quite interested in him."

"To be able to force He Taiqing and Medusa back with a single sword strike, that level of strength must be at least that of a high-level Martial Emperor, right?"

"When did our Jiangnan Province produce such a person?"

"I didn't hear a thing."

Lei Qianjue hesitated immensely.

"President, although we don't know who that person is, he has a disciple in the South City."

"Oh?"

Zhou Zhenxiong raised an eyebrow.

"Who?"

"Liu Fuyao".

Lei Qianjue quickly said,

"That's the student from the South City Martial Arts Academy."

"The whole thing with Ye Liuyun started because we were looking for her."

Zhou Zhenxiong paused for a moment upon hearing the name.

A cold, aloof face flashed through my mind.

"Oh, it's that little girl."

Zhou Zhenxiong nodded.

I met her once at the provincial talent training camp.

"He's a promising talent, and he has a good temperament."

"The martial arts technique she practices..."

"It's truly extraordinary; it's an extremely good match for her."

"It seems that it was given by that Martial Emperor."

Zhou Zhenxiong suddenly glanced at Lei Qianjue again, his tone serious.

"Since he's someone else's disciple, you'd better keep an eye on him for me."

"Don't let others suffer, and don't harass them for no reason."

"If you anger the person behind you, none of you will be able to cover it up."

Lei Qianjue nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I've already given the orders, no one will dare to lay a finger on Miss Liu."

"Um."

Zhou Zhenxiong nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he stood up and said,

"But since I'm here, I can't leave empty-handed."

"The trouble with the human race has been resolved, but the trouble with the demon race is not over yet."

Zhou Zhenxiong suddenly pulled open the curtains.

Wow~~~

The blinding sunlight streamed in instantly.

All of these thoughts fell upon his unremarkable face, yet they exuded an utter coldness.

"That crazy woman Medusa dared to break the treaty and openly go to human cities to kill people."

"Do they really think we're all alone in Jiangnan Province?"

"If we don't teach them a lesson, won't these bastards keep taking advantage of us?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Qianjue's heart skipped a beat.

His expression changed instantly.

"President, you..."

Are you going to Xuefeng Mountain?

Lei Qianjue panicked.

"That Medusa is notoriously difficult to deal with!"

"And she has so many demon kings under her command; that's her stronghold!"

"Most importantly, although Medusa is only a three-star demon emperor, her true combat strength is enough to go toe-to-toe with a four-star Martial Emperor like He Taiqing!"

"you……"

Lei Qianjue didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

You are also a three-star martial emperor, and although you are at the peak, are you slightly inferior to others?

If they go there, they might not be able to come back.

Then our Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association would truly be in utter chaos.

Zhou Zhenxiong turned around and glanced at him.

Then he gave a cold laugh.

"hehe."

"boom!"

The next moment, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from Zhou Zhenxiong's body.

It swept wildly around it.

With a buzzing sound.

The tables, chairs, and benches in the conference room were all shaking violently.

It was like an earthquake, incredibly terrifying.

Lei Qianjue's expression changed drastically.

He felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a sledgehammer, and he couldn't help but take two steps back before collapsing into a chair.

This is……

Four stars!

Four-star Martial Emperor.

In an instant, Lei Qianjue's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

When did the Grand Master achieve his breakthrough?

Seeing this scene.

Zhou Zhenxiong then smiled and calmed his breathing.

"Did you see that?"

I made a breakthrough recently.

"The situation in the southern part of the city is very complicated now."

"You better watch your step here, don't offend just anyone."

"Especially that mysterious Martial Emperor."

After saying that, he ignored the room full of terrified executives, pushed open the door, and left.

"I'm gone."

"I'm going to teach that snake a lesson."
