45: Qin Province's genius goes to Jiangtan

“If the Principal is thinking of the Chu Family Old Master who assembled the team, then he is the one you have in mind.”

“It really is him?”

The Principal suddenly raised his voice, showing an exaggerated expression of disbelief, and asked, “How did you, kid, get to know this Old Master?”

“Although our Huaxia still operates under a national system, various regions are still led by powerful individuals, similar to feudal lords.”

“Mayors and Provincial Governors are responsible for civil affairs, the Martial Arts Association is responsible for martial arts, and this Chu Family Old Master you know is actually the top figure in Qin Province, a true local emperor. Qin Province is like the Chu Family’s fiefdom.”

Yu Xiu nodded and said, “I know all this; I understand the Chu Family’s power.”

The Principal asked, “I haven’t heard of you having any dealings with the Chu Family?”

“A fortunate Opportunity, I suppose!” Yu Xiu explained, “Actually, I haven’t met Old Master Chu in person, I only got to know him through Chu Tianjiao.”

“Chu Tianjiao?” The Principal asked, “He shouldn’t need to go to the Genius Training Camp, right? He has direct qualification for the Provincial Training Camp.”

“This is a long story and hard to explain right now. I’ll tell you in detail later. For now, please help me arrange a meeting with the mayor and others. We need to discuss the Blood God Sect eradication.”

The Principal nodded and said, “Alright, then you should go back and comfort your Family first.”

“I’ll transfer the money to you shortly,” Yu Xiu said, then left.

...

Jiangcheng!

This is the provincial capital of Qin Province, and the Chu Family is located in the western suburbs of this city.

West Suburb Manor!

The people of Jiangcheng refer to this manor, spanning thousands of acres, as the West Suburb Manor.

“Grandpa, Yu Xiu wants to eradicate the Blood God Sect in Jiangtan City?”

At this moment, in an antique-filled room, a pure and lovely girl blinked her eyes as she questioned the old man in front of her.

“That little fellow said so.”

Old Master Chu chuckled, “Why do your eyes light up, little girl, whenever you hear Yu Xiu’s name? Do you like him?”

“I do like him!”

The girl was Jiang Zuoyi, Chu Tianjiao’s cousin, and her mother was Old Master Chu’s youngest daughter.

“However, I haven’t interacted with him personally. My liking for him is solely due to his strength; I think it’s more akin to admiration!”

“Even so, this is the first time I’ve had such a strong feeling in all these years. I want to try getting to know him.”

Old Master Chu showed no surprise at her words, seemingly accustomed to Jiang Zuoyi’s Heart-Nature, clearly unsurprised by her bluntness.

“Yu Xiu is a good child. I think you can try getting to know him.”

Jiang Zuoyi asked, “What is your assessment of Yu Xiu?”

“One who will achieve great things!”

“Such a high assessment?” Jiang Zuoyi was shocked, “You only said ‘not bad’ about Big Brother. But then again, Yu Xiu is only sixteen years old and already a Great Grandmaster. Big Brother truly can’t compare in that regard.”

Old Master Chu shook his head and said, “No, my assessment of Yu Xiu is not because of his strength, but because of his Heart-Nature and his way of handling things.”

“After reading his information, I often suspected that there were two Yu Xius, because the difference in their personalities before and after was too great.”

“If his past self was merely hiding his true abilities, then his assessment would be even higher.”

Jiang Zuoyi nodded and asked, “Grandpa, I want to go to Jiangtan. Do you have any advice for me?”

“Stay by Yu Xiu’s side. Don’t ask anything, don’t say anything. Just do whatever he tells you to do.”

Old Master Chu thought for a moment, then added, “It’s your first time meeting Yu Xiu, so you can’t go without a gift. Bring him one of the storage devices that were developed upstairs!”

“Oh, and Yu Xiu might lack leadership ability. Since you’re going this time, help him out. If he already has it, then maintain the status quo.”

“I understand what to do.”

Jiang Zuoyi nodded, then stood up and walked out of the room.

“Gather in Jiangtan in two hours. Yu Xiu is going to eradicate the Blood God Sect in Jiangtan City.”

As soon as she walked out of the room, Jiang Zuoyi took out her communicator and sent a message.

Then replies came flooding into the group chat.

“Boss is going after the Blood God Sect! Sister Jiang, don’t worry, we’ll be there in two hours, guaranteed.”

“Boss is going to do something big, we must be there. Boss is finally raising the banner.”

“Received!”

“Received!”

After hundreds of replies, Jiang Zuoyi just glanced at them briefly. Just as she was about to put away her communicator, another message came in, from Chu Tianjiao.

“Holy crap, Boss is actually going to do something big, too bad I can’t make it.”

“Boss has two sisters-in-law here, I need to look after them.”

“Boss is easy to get along with. Just go all out and do things with Boss.”

Jiang Zuoyi frowned and sent a message asking, “I haven’t heard that Yu Xiu has a girlfriend.”

Chu Tianjiao: “Actually, they’re not girlfriends, I’m just trying to set them up. Boss is a bit hard to get to, I’m finding allies for you.”

“Based on my interactions with Boss during this time, he’s not like these beasts in the group chat; he’s not interested in women.”

“If you don’t find allies, Cousin, believe me, you won’t catch Boss.”

Jiang Zuoyi: “Are they reliable? Don’t just bring any woman to Yu Xiu’s side; the quality absolutely cannot be poor.”

“How about this, I’ll come over with Yu Xiu later and arrange a meeting with them.”

“Oh, and in my name, send them both five s-class spiritual materials.”

Chu Tianjiao: “Received, I’m having them transferred from home now.”

Jiang Zuoyi took a look, then put away her communicator and walked towards the helipad.

...

Jiangtan!

After Yu Xiu returned to the villa, he found his parents and aunt looking distraught.

“Xiao Xiu, is your sudden return this time related to this matter?”

His father looked up and asked when he saw Yu Xiu return.

“It is related to this matter.”

Yu Xiu explained, “These things were done by the Blood God Sect to target me.”

“The Blood God Sect is a cult organization. They research genes and Bloodline, taking shortcuts to improve their strength. In previous years, they created a batch of fast-acting strength-enhancing potions by researching the genes and Bloodline of Geniuses.”

“They came after me this time because of my age and strength.”

“Before, at the Genius Training Camp, they couldn’t target me, so they wanted to target you all to threaten me.”

His father asked, “Who are Xiaomi and those young people?”

“They are the people I arranged to protect you.”

Yu Xiu guessed that the Xiaomi his father mentioned was the waitress he had seen earlier.

“Brother, was Teacher Lin also someone you arranged to protect me?”

“And Teacher He too?”

Yu Qianqian and Zhuang Wenya asked.

“They all are.”

Upon receiving Yu Xiu’s affirmative answer, everyone in the villa showed surprised expressions.

According to their guesses, the people protecting them must at least be Grandmasters.

Could all these people be Yu Xiu’s subordinates?

This made them somewhat incredulous.

“Cousin, are Teacher He and the others all subordinates you secretly cultivated?”

“No!” Yu Xiu shook his head and explained, “They are from the Chu Family, which is our Qin Province’s number one Family.”
