71: The martial arts exam is coming

“He is indeed a Martial Venerable!”

Upon receiving Yang Duling’s confirmation, everyone instinctively gasped.

A Martial Venerable expert.

This was a very important person!

“No, that’s not right!”

Zhuang Wenya exclaimed again, “Just now, Chief Chen said he was my cousin’s subordinate? Did I hear that correctly?”

Chen Sihai chuckled, “You heard correctly. I am indeed Yu Xiu’s subordinate.”

“Is that true or false?” Zhuang Wenya asked, puzzled, “Cousin, you’re a Great Grandmaster, how can you have a Martial Venerable as your subordinate?”

Yu Xiu’s parents also looked over.

Their faces were full of doubt.

Chen Sihai, who knew the truth, smiled without speaking, and Yang Duling’s expression was complex.

Yu Xiu could only speak for himself, “Actually, I am also at the Martial Venerable Realm.”

“Martial… Martial Venerable Realm?”

“Is this true?”

When Yu Xiu revealed his strength, his parents and the others were all stunned, asking haltingly.

“It’s true!”

Yu Xiu nodded again.

But his parents and the others still felt like they were dreaming, and they looked at Chen Sihai again.

“Yu Xiu is indeed at the Martial Venerable Realm.”

Upon receiving Chen Sihai’s affirmative answer.

His parents and the others were stunned once more.

After a long while.

They slowly came back to their senses.

“Mom and Dad, no matter what my strength is, I’m still the same as before.”

Yu Xiu’s parents nodded slightly.

His mother, in particular, couldn’t help but glance at Yang Duling.

Before, she had thought about setting the two of them up, but now that she knew Yu Xiu was a Martial Venerable expert, her matchmaking intentions dissipated.

She believed that her son’s standing was beyond her reach.

So, regarding finding a girlfriend, she chose not to interfere anymore.

“Everyone must be hungry, right? I’ll go make dinner.”

“Auntie, I’ll help you.”

Yang Duling left with Yu Xiu’s mother.

Chen Sihai proactively stepped forward and said to Yu Xiu’s father, “Old brother, how about a couple of rounds of chess?”

Yu Xiu’s father smiled and nodded, “That sounds good. I usually don’t have anyone to play with.”

As for Zhuang Wenya and Yu Qianqian, they surrounded Yu Xiu, asking him all sorts of questions.

Not long after.

The food was on the table.

After dinner, Yang Duling got up and left the villa to go home.

Chen Sihai and Yu Xiu’s father continued to set up the chessboard and began their battle… Three days passed in a flash.

During this period, Chen Sihai had completely integrated into the villa.

Every day, he either played chess with Yu Xiu’s father or helped out at the noodle shop.

During this time.

Yu Xiu had also spoken with Chen Sihai.

As a result, Chen Sihai expressed that he really liked his current lifestyle.

It was very leisurely!

And every day was very fulfilling.

Compared to the decades of intrigue before, he preferred this way of life.

Because of this!

Yu Xiu didn’t say anything more.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

As the doorbell of the villa rang, Yu Xiu opened the door and saw Chu Tianjiao and his cousin Jiang Zuoyi standing at the entrance.

“Aren’t you surprised, Boss?”

Yu Xiu asked with an expressionless face, “What are you two doing in Jiangtan City?”

Chu Tianjiao said, “Going to school, then participating in the Martial Arts Exam.”

Jiang Zuoyi explained, “We’ve already transferred to Jiangtan No. 1 High School and are preparing to take the Martial Arts Exam here. Also, we’re now living in the villa next door to your house.”

Yu Xiu nodded, “Let’s go to your place!”

Saying that, he walked out of the villa and headed towards the neighboring villa first.

“Did you bring the information?”

As soon as they entered, Yu Xiu asked.

“I knew you’d ask.”

Chu Tianjiao went to the side, took out a tablet computer, and plugged in a USB drive.

“You can look at it yourself!”

Yu Xiu took the tablet, and as he flipped through it, Chu Tianjiao said, “My grandfather said that if you plan to go to 7th Secret Realm City recently, he can arrange people.”

“However, his old man suggests that youmost not leave Jiangtan City for now.”

“Those families in the Capital City are definitely holding grudges right now. Once you leave Jiangtan City, they will definitely act without hesitation.”

“It’s best to wait until the permission to form a team comes down. At that time, you will be protected by the country, and those people in the Capital City won’t dare to act recklessly in the open.”

Yu Xiu remained silent.

Instead, he carefully reviewed the information.

He understood all the information about the underground black market in 7th Secret Realm City and the details of conquering the Secret Realm after forming a team.

Hoo!

He looked up and let out a long breath.

Whether it was the black market or conquering the Secret Realm, neither was as simple as he had imagined.

“I don’t plan to leave Jiangtan City for now. Everything will be decided after the Martial Arts Exam!”

Yu Xiu had now understood the information.

So he decided to use this time to make a detailed plan for the black market situation in 7th Secret Realm City and the matter of conquering the Secret Realm.

Also, there was the team formation afterward.

And naming the team.

How to exploit the System’s loopholes.

A series of issues.

All needed detailed planning.

He knew very well.

After forming a team, for a long time to come, his strength improvement would primarily focus on the team aspect.

The selection of members.

And the future direction of development.

At first.

He had thought of going to 7th Secret Realm City to win some dead soldiers from the black market.

Now, after reading the information.

He found that it was not easy to win many Great Grandmaster dead soldiers from the black market.

In short!

What he needed to do now was to plan all these things in advance.

During this period.

Once the Martial Arts Exam was over, he might have to go to university.

“Boss, Grandpa also said that if you have difficulties in recruiting team members, you can always ask him for help.”

“And during this time, he will also send people to investigate the situation of the new Secret Realm, preparing for your future conquest of the Secret Realm.”

Yu Xiu nodded, “For the next period, consider it a holiday. You should also Cultivate well, maintain your condition, and strive for good results in the Martial Arts Exam.”

“We understand!”

Chu Tianjiao and Jiang Zuoyi nodded… A month flew by!

During this time, Yu Xiu enjoyed himself and organized his plans.

From time to time, he would also train Chu Tianjiao, Jiang Zuoyi, and Yang Duling with Chen Sihai.

For the convenience of martial arts practice, Yang Duling also moved into the villa next door.

“Tomorrow is the Martial Arts Exam. You’ve had enough time to prepare.”

“With your strength, as long as you perform steadily tomorrow, your results won’t be too bad.”

As Yu Xiu finished speaking.

Chu Tianjiao rubbed his hands, eagerly saying, “Boss, don’t worry, we definitely won’t be careless. In Jiangtan City, you’re ranked first, and we’ll definitely compete for second.”

“It’s dinner time now. Auntie must have already prepared dinner. Let’s not dawdle here. I can already smell it from this far away.”

During this recent period, Chu Tianjiao had been conquered by Yu Xiu’s mother’s cooking.

Moreover, Chu Tianjiao was sweet-talked.

He not only pleased Yu Xiu’s parents but even the two young girls, Zhuang Wenya and Yu Qianqian, were exceptionally friendly towards Chu Tianjiao.

They often called him ‘Brother Tianjiao’.

Not only that.

Chu Tianjiao shamelessly adopted Yu Xiu’s parents as his godparents.

“Godmother, I can smell it from a mile away! Is there braised pork today? I think about your cooking every day when I practice martial arts.”

Chu Tianjiao hurriedly peeked into the kitchen and then shouted, “Godfather, Old Chen, aren’t you done with your battle yet?”

“If there’s no braised pork to eat later, don’t blame me for being quick.”
