C429 The Attitude of the Zhuge Family
"A clan robe?" Bai Qian glanced at Zhuge Jian and his face immediately darkened. He said in a deep voice, "Zhuge Jian, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Look at your words, I'll take someone back. Do you need me to confirm something?" Zhuge Jian said indifferently, "Could Bai Family be so overbearing that it can even interfere with my private interactions? Oh right, look at the big screen. Your family's Bai Shishan is almost devoid of people. Shouldn't you quickly send them to the hospital? Do you still have the mood to chat with me? "As expected of the number one person in your clan's younger generation. He can actually breathe after being burnt like this. His life force is really tenacious. However, don't you think that you should change your surname to 'Hei' in the future, tsk tsk …"
"Zhuge Jian!"
A trace of hostility appeared on Bai Qian's face, the bright yellow Origin Energy flickering in and out of his palm.
Zhuge Jian's attitude was very clear, he did not hesitate to be enemies with Bai Family, so he had to protect Que De. It was not hard for Bai Qian to see through Zhuge Jian's intention, and since Zhuge Jian was wearing a clan robe, it meant that he was wearing Zhuge Family.
The Zhuge family had to protect Que De.
Que De took a step forward, preventing Bai Qian from truly attacking. With Bai Qian's Source Power Level at the ninth level of True Rank, the Source Power Level that Zhuge Jian had just entered the fifth level of True Rank could not hold him.
"Director Bai, such a big temper. It's even stronger than my firepower." A wave of pressure came over and instantly suppressed Bai Qian's aura.
Que De turned his head to look, and saw a white-haired, fairy-like old man currently walking over while holding the hand of a little girl. His Source Power Level was a level higher than the one in the peak of the ninth level of the True Rank, and he was already in the excessive stages of True Rank and Paleo Rank.
The four people behind Bai Qian all had the strength of the Perfection Stage of the ninth level of True Rank, but their eyes were filled with dread as they looked at this old man.
Que De knew this person by now. In Cyrus' Auction House, there was an old man who exchanged twenty True Rank ranked Winged Bat s from him and Shen Lang for a piece of the Endless Fire Phoenix's bone fragments. Que De still remembered that the old man was called Nan Gong Wen. He was a very influential person in the Nan Gong Family of the second rate Yanhua City.
What Que De didn't understand was that last time, when he and Shen Lang were in the VIP room at the auction, Nan Gong Wen asked if he had met before. He could be said to be a stranger, so why did he help him while bearing the danger of offending Bai Family?
"Nangong asked, you want to interfere?" Bai Qian's expression became even uglier.
"What did Chief Steward Bai just say? What do you mean by stirring things up?" Nangong asked, "I just wanted to shamelessly go to Mr. Zhuge's place to get a cup of tea to drink. I coincidentally met with this incident, don't you think it's a coincidence?"
He wanted to stand by the side of the Zhuge Family, even if it was opposing the Bai Family, he would not change his mind.
This made Que De even more confused. Nangong asked why did he offend Bai Family to this extent just for him?
"All of you are really united." Bai Qian said with a fake smile, "There's a lot of time to come, and Bai Family will slowly settle this debt with you."
"Director Bai, right? You should remember this well. This debt should be on my account." Que De said to Bai Qian, "Oh right, remember to thank Bai Shishan properly for me."
Before he finished his sentence, Que De's imposing manner suddenly rose. In an instant, a hurricane with no source within ten miles swept across the street for more than ten seconds, accompanied by billowing heatwaves.
Bai Qian suddenly turned around and stared at Que De with an incredulous gaze as he slowly muttered: "He actually broke through to the Paleo Rank —"
Breaking through to the next great realm required a tremendous amount of luck. Many Source Cultivator were only a thin layer of paper away from breaking into the next realm, but had not made the slightest bit of progress for over ten years, or even decades, or even a lifetime.
Bai Shishan had openly challenged Que De on a whim and lost miserably, causing his Bai Family to lose all its face. Not only was he reduced to a laughing stock, he even accidentally caused Que De to break through the Paleo Rank.
Bai Qian was very clear of Bai Shishan's strength. His innate talent was already very high, plus the painstaking cultivation of his Bai Family, all of the high-quality resources were piled on Bai Shishan, he even allowed him to cultivate the ultimate skill of Bai Family, the Source Strike's Heartcrush Palm. His combat strength was already far stronger than Source Cultivator of the same level.
After executing the Double Damage Technique, Bai Shishan's fighting strength was at the fifth level of Paleo Rank.
However, even so, Bai Shishan still lost to Que De, a Source Cultivator with a perfect ninth level True Rank, and a nameless origin.
Bai Qian had clearly seen the terrifying aspects of Bai Shishan, who was at the perfection of the ninth level of True Rank but was able to defeat a person who was infinitely close to the fifth level of the Paleo Rank while under the state of Double Injuries.
Bai Qian was even more determined to take action the moment they left the inner city. He absolutely could not let this young man live.
Because of this, Bai Qian did not hesitate to invite the Paleo Rank Realm Patriarchs of his clan out of the mountain, just so that he could quickly put Que De to death without any future troubles.
Bai Qian had also investigated that Que De came out of Zhuge's office before meeting Bai Shishan. However, he did not expect the Zhuge family to be hostile to the entire Bai Family for such a person.
Furthermore, there was a high chance that this was Zhuge Jian's idea.
Although Zhuge Jian's Source Power Level was not high and his cultivation talent could only be considered more than half, his management ability and vision were all top-notch. When he was young, he ran for the position of Zhuge Family's Patriarch. Zhuge Jian assisted Zhuge Yao in successfully rising to the position of Patriarch, which was also the previous Patriarch of Zhuge Family. Later on, he became Zhuge Yao's right-hand man, helping him to take care of the family in a neat and orderly manner. In the decades that followed, Zhuge Jian strategized so that Zhuge Family's position became more and more consolidated.
His Zhuge Family, which had always been suppressed by his Bai Family, had now reached a level where it could match his Bai Family by leaps and bounds, just like that.
The most praised action of Zhuge Jian was the fact that when Zhuge Yao stepped down from office, almost everyone supported Zhuge Yuanhong regarding the selection of the next family head. Zhuge Jian's support for Zhuge Fulong, who was not very outstanding at that time, was now on the verge of falling out with Zhuge Yao; however, he didn't explain why he wasn't allowed to be elected.
In the end, Zhuge Yao followed Zhuge Jian's suggestion and handed the seat to Zhuge Furong.
The facts proved that Zhuge Jian's choice was correct. Under his management, the industry of Zhuge Family expanded at a rapid pace like a balloon filled with air. Day in and day out, it was no longer enough to describe the grand occasion of Zhuge Family.
