C185 A Stepping Stone
Chen Yuan had just finished lunch when he saw Wang Zhong running towards Old Master Lin's room with a solemn expression. It seemed like there was an urgent matter.
"Brother Wang?" Chen Yuan dealt with him.
Wang Zhong nodded and said with an iron face, "Something big happened!"
Chen Yuan was a little puzzled. He thought that Wang Zhong was the head of the guards in the Lin Prefecture and had experienced great storms. Why was he so panicked today?
"What's going on?"
"The plaque of the Mu Family's Emperor Imperial Brush was destroyed by someone!"
Chen Yuan was stunned and his expression changed.
If he remembered correctly, miss Ruoxue had told him before. If he remembered correctly, miss Ruoxue had told him that one day, someone would definitely tear down the plaque that regarded the Mu Family as their lifeblood. To vent the hatred in her heart!
That spring breeze and warmth, Lin Ruoxue welcomed the brilliant sunlight and said, "Since the Mu family does not put me, Lin Ruoxue, in their eyes and regard me as a commodity, then there is no need for me to give them face!"
Ten minutes later, Chen Yuan came to Lin Ruoxue's door with a complicated feeling. He knocked lightly on the door. Lin Ruoxue's voice soon came from inside. "Who is it?"
"Ruoxue, it's me."
"Hmm? Uncle Chen?"
Lin Ruoxue had just opened the door when Chen Yuan said in a deep voice, "The plaque of Mu Family was torn apart by someone!
Swoosh! The air froze, and it was completely silent.
Chen Yuan had left for a long time, but Lin Ruoxue was still immersed in shock and could not extricate herself from it. A few drops of crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
Sunlight shone through the glass onto Lin Ruoxue's body, her hands supporting her cheeks, quietly staring blankly. All these years, except for her parents... Loong Wei should be the only one who cared about her so much.
Mu Family has humiliated me. He tore down the plaque that was regarded as a treasure by the Mu Family.
As for the Jiang Yuchao who came with a huge force to compete for the marriage, he actually came here for the sake of his younger brother, who had yet to mature. He declared that snatching Lin Ruoxue away was only for the sake of reproducing the descendants of the Jiang Family.
"Jiang Yuchao, just you wait. Sooner or later, my man will beat you until you become a pig head!"
The matter of the Mu Family's plaque was still fermenting. The originally bustling Jinling was suddenly splashed with a basin of cold water by Loong Wei, causing it to instantly turn cold and silent.
Everyone had different opinions about the origin of the person who tore the plaque apart. However, no matter which major power it was, they didn't have any information about that person surnamed Long. No matter how they searched, they couldn't find any clues about him.
These days, the Mu Family had been preparing for the marriage alliance with the Lin Family. It seemed like they didn't have any grudges with any other family, so why did a guy with the surname Long suddenly appear?
However, Jiang Yuchao had a quarrel with the Mu family a few days ago. Could it be that he was the one who did it?
The Mu Family's surveillance was blurry, and they couldn't see the faces of the two men clearly.
Everyone speculated that Jiang Yuchao was getting more and more suspicious. He had the motive to commit the crime.
"Jiang Yuchao is one of the top three in the Heaven's Pride List. His strength is definitely enough. Could it be that the one with the surname Long is him pretending to be someone else?"
At this moment, there were many different opinions, and rumors were spreading everywhere.
When Jiang Yuchao heard this, his face became blank. This kind of sh * t could actually be blamed on him?
Even though he had some conflicts with the Mu Family, he wasn't bold enough to touch the Mu Family's plaque. After all, the Mu Family was considered the overlord of Jinling. Jiang Yuchao wasn't stupid enough to touch their family's lifeblood.
Furthermore, the Mu Family had already announced that no matter who destroyed the plaque, no matter what kind of prestigious family he was from, the Mu family would never let him go!
"Don't be in a hurry to respond to this matter. Just wait and see."
Jiang Yuchao, who was in the hotel, had originally planned to make a statement that he had nothing to do with the Mu Family.
However, an elder of the Martial Arts Association reminded him.
Jiang Yuchao was puzzled. If he didn't explain himself, wouldn't it mean that he had admitted that he was the main culprit behind Mu's search?
"A good man should be bold and careful. If no one takes the initiative to admit it, then you should admit that you did it."
Who doesn't care about fame and fortune?
Destroying the plaque that Mu Family was proud of in front of so many people. Up until now, no one had come forward to admit this heaven-shaking and earth-shattering feat. Perhaps the person behind this was just taking revenge on Mu Family, and he didn't want to be in the limelight at all.
Since you don't want this great honor, i, Jiang Yuchao, will gladly accept it.
"Regarding this matter, you don't need to say anything. Just keep quiet."
He neither admitted nor denied it.
He had always treated it with a vague attitude. It wouldn't take long for Jiang Yuchao's name to be heard by everyone in Jinling.
As for the Mu Family, there was no way to find out who was behind all of this, and they didn't have any solid evidence with them either. Otherwise, the Mu Family would have already come here and denounced him. Why would they still be cursing at him now?
After Loong Wei left the Mu Family, the two of them drove southwards. As for how the Mu Family would become enraged, he didn't really care.
"Lord, Qian Tong has come to Jinling." Dong Fei reported.
Qian Tong was ranked third on the military ranking, and was considered a top expert in the army.
The military ranking was a ranking that was on par with the Wind Cloud Ranking and the Heaven's Pride List. The existence of the military ranking was more towards the existence of the Wind Cloud Ranking and the Heaven's Pride List.
The difference was that the Wind Cloud Ranking and the Heaven's Pride List could be ranked as long as one's cultivation was profound. The people of the Martial Arts Association occupied more than half of the ranking, but those who could be ranked on the military ranking were the outstanding ones in the army. Both sides were competing with each other.
Tang Soong, whom he met a few days ago, was also an expert on the military ranking. However, before he could announce his family name, he was taken care of by Dong Fei. It was a pity.
Loong Wei had millions of soldiers under his command. Even if it was only the outstanding ones, there were thousands of them. How could Loong Wei remember all of them?
The reason why this Qian Tong had left a deep impression on Loong Wei was because he was currently working in the western warzone. Because he was too outstanding, he had attracted Loong Wei's attention.
He was able to reach the top of the military ranking at such a young age. He was indeed a promising talent.
"Lord, you definitely wouldn't have thought of the reason why Qian Tong came to Jinling this time." Dong Fei chuckled.
"Oh?" Loong Wei said faintly.
"The number one disciple of the Martial Arts Association, Heaven's Pride List, is about to challenge the number one disciple on the military ranking. It seems like the Martial Arts Association is declaring war with us!"
Dong Fei revealed a disdainful smile.
The number one disciple of the military ranking had disappeared for many years. The number two disciple on the military ranking was carrying out a mission. Now, Qian Tong, who was ranked number three on the military ranking, could only accept the challenge.
Initially, the military was not interested in this challenge. However, the disciple of Martial Arts Association had announced that if no one from the military accepted the challenge, he would fight the person on the military roll one by one. He would defeat the entire military roll within ten days, and he would be proud of the world!
Arrogant, ignorant!
"Qian Tong and that disciple of the Martial Arts Association will fight in the Jinling." Dong Fei added.
That Martial Arts Association disciple's name was Suen Qi, and he was twenty-nine years old. The reason why he challenged the military ranking was obvious. He wanted to make a name for himself by using the military ranking as a stepping stone. This way, he would be able to make a name for himself in Jinling and reach the top in one go!
