Chapter 2045 Gold, Silver and Jewels 3
He had not made any more breakthroughs; he remained a top-notch Great Martial Master. Given his cultivation level and their family"s circ.u.mstances, it was clear that his brother would be the one going to Supreme Sect for the examination this year.
The Zhuo Family possessed only one Golden Rolls, and both he and his brother were under the Elder Prince"s control, making it impossible for them to come out on top. They were mere spectators, resigned to their fate.
However, their encounter with Gu Chaoyan changed everything.
He had previously investigated her and discovered that although she had a lower cultivation level than him, she had successfully overcome more trials in the dragon vein.
"What"s happening with the Yan Family this year? Have they run out of capable individuals? How can they send a lone girl to compete? I doubt she can even defeat me, let alone the others!" Zhuo Yuanming sneered.
At the Yan Family"s residence, once a powerful force in the Shenyou Continent, their current situation was grim.
They had fallen even further than the Zhuo Family, and it seemed everyone was eager to take advantage of their vulnerability. If it weren"t for their Patriarch, the Yan Family would have ceased to exist.
Zhuo Yuanming was well-informed about Yan Wuji"s condition. Rumors circulated that he had become crippled, but n.o.body knew the methods employed by the Yan Family to achieve this outcome.
Regardless, Yan Wuji failed to make an appearance, let alone someone like the girl before them.
The servants of the Zhuo Family burst into mocking laughter whenever the Yan Family was mentioned.
The Yan Family appeared visibly embarra.s.sed, their heads hung low, devoid of any confidence.
As mere servants, they were unaware of the circ.u.mstances surrounding their Young Master. Instead of personally partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, he had delegated the task to the recently returned Young Madame.
She didn"t seem to possess formidable cultivation skills.
With the compet.i.tion yet to begin, the thought of potential humiliation weighed heavily on their minds. They understood that any disgrace suffered during the compet.i.tion would only further besmirch the reputation of the Yan Family.
Although they were already used to it.
But that was not a good feeling.
The servants of the Yan Family did not dare utter a sound.
"I am a girl from the Yan Family, and I don"t need anyone else." Gu Chaoyan said domineeringly.
The servants of the Yan Family were all frightened.
This lady was spreading the rumor.
If they lost, the Yan Family would be mocked at even more.
Everyone in the Yan Family knew that there was no one left.
So long as they accepted their fate!
That was the so-called intermediate way.
This lady had no idea what was going on.
The servants of the Yan Family contemplated silently, their thoughts swirling within.
Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan"s words, the Zhuo Family members were on the verge of bursting into laughter. The entire situation regarding the Yan Family was widely known, and it seemed inevitable that they were about to face a major embarra.s.sment.
"You?" Zhuo Yuanming asked Dao Seeking, his tone laced with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Me?" Gu Chaoyan responded confidently.
"If you can secure a victory for the Yan Family, I"ll kneel down and address you as grandma," Zhuo Yuanming chuckled, convinced that such an outcome was beyond imagination.
"Deal," Gu Chaoyan replied without hesitation.
"On the other hand, if you fail, you can kneel down and call me grandpa on behalf of the Yan Family," Zhuo Yuanming added, fully aware that he had no intention of winning. Since he was present, he intended to seize the spotlight and relish in belittling the Yan Family.
"Very well," Gu Chaoyan responded calmly.
The guards from the Yan Family turned pale, bewildered by the unfolding events. They found themselves in the midst of an immensely humiliating situation, but as mere guards, they were unable to voice their concerns.
Zhuo Yuanming wore an intriguing expression on his face, even going so far as to gather some friends to keep him company, relis.h.i.+ng the spectacle that was about to unfold.
