Chapter 190: Immortal Sect Has Indeed Brought Great Pressure
Qin Chuan walked towards Lu Dewei. Li Jingchen and the other elders followed closely behind.
Li Jingchen also took the initiative to have an umbrella open or Qin Chuan, preventing the snow from falling on him.
At this moment, Lu Dewei, who was stopped outside, noticed Qin Chuan.
Very quickly, Qin Chuan arrived before him.
Qin Chuan sized up Lu Dewei and smiled as he greeted, “Inspector Lu!”
Lu Dewei looked at Qin Chuan. He felt that this martial artist was more easygoing than he had imagined.
After which, he bowed and said, “I’m Lu Dewei. Greetings, Guest Elder Qin.”
Seeing this, Qin Chuan immediately said, “Inspector Lu, you are too polite. How could I accept such a grand gesture?”
Although he said that, he did not move.
Lu Dewei kept his head bowed and said, “Guest Elder Qin, you are a great figure in martial arts, a senior among our martial arts seniors. You are definitely worthy of this.”
Although Lu Dewei was a government official, he was also a martial artist, so there was nothing wrong with his words.
Qin Chuan smiled and didn’t continue with the pleasantries. Instead, he directly spoke, “Inspector Lu, you must have some business coming here!”
Lu Dewei stood up and solemnly said, “Guest Elder Qin, I’ve mainly come to discuss some matters with you. I wonder if you have the time?”
With that, Qin Chuan was about to speak when Li Jingchen interrupted, “Inspector Lu, our guest has been on the plane for such a long time and is mentally and physically exhausted. Isn’t it too impolite of you to ask to have a discussion with him right now?”
Qin Chuan remained silent.
If he was eager to talk to Lu Dewei, he would be in a pa.s.sive position. Therefore, it would be better to leave Lu Dewei aside and talk to him later.
After hearing Li Jingchen’s words, Lu Dewei also realized that he had been a little rude.
Hence, he immediately apologized to Qin Chuan.
“Guest Elder Qin, I was lacking in consideration earlier. I hope you don’t take it to heart.” Lu Dewei said respectfully.
Qin Chuan calmly replied, “Naturally, I won’t take such a small matter to heart. Also, Inspector Lu really has something to discuss with me, I wouldn’t reject you, but not now.”
When Lu Dewei heard this, he said excitedly, “Guest Elder Qin, when are you free?”
Qin Chuan thought for a moment. “In Two hours.”
“Alright, when the time comes, I will personally come to invite you.” A smile appeared on Lu Dewei’s face.
He didn’t hold much hope about the discussion, but Qin Chuan had unexpectedly agreed. It was unbelievable, and he was truly shocked.
Hence, he immediately shared this news with his colleagues, as well as an important figure.
…
In the guest room.
Lu Dewei stared at the hands on his watch and complained that the pointer was moving too slowly. He wished they could quickly make a few rounds.
At the same time, some people arrived from outside the Li Clan Residence’s main gate.
“Um, little brother, please tell your master that the Shangguan family has come to pay our respects to Guest Elder Qin.”
“Brothers of the Li Clan, our Shui family is also here to pay our respects to Guest Elder Qin.”
“Us too, the Mei family.”
“We’ve all prepared big gifts. Please, and thank you.”
…
The people outside the door were all Patriarchs of the family clans. A total of 12 families had come.
That Li family junior who was guarding the door glanced at them and said with his chin held high: “Patriarchs, you are so well-informed.
“You came the moment our Guest Elder landed.”
Patriarch Shui smiled. “I saw your family’s plane fly by.
“I thought to myself. The Martial Arts Conference is about to begin. It must be Guest Elder Qin arriving.
“The other Patriarchs thought the same.
“Just now, the little brother also said that it was indeed Guest Elder Qin.
“And we just happened to make it here right at this time.”
The other Patriarchs agreed, “Yes! Your family’s plane hasn’t appeared for a long time.
“The moment it flew out at dawn, I guessed that it must have gone to fetch Guest Elder Qin.”
“That’s right! Guest Elder Qin is a martial arts legend. So I guessed that he would definitely come to such a grand event like the Martial Arts Conference.”
…
All the Patriarchs were talking at once.
The Li junior couldn’t stand to listen further.
“Patriarchs, are you paying attention to our family clan’s planes every day?”
The Patriarchs maintained the same expressions as they put on small smiles and said, “Not everyday, just occasionally.”
“Occasionally?”
“Eh… Little brother, don’t make things difficult for us. Please inform your Patriarch.”
The junior pinched his nose and said, “Don’t you have my Patriarch’s contact information! Just tell him directly, why are you making it so troublesome?”
All the Patriarchs looked awkward.
“Little brother, to be honest, your Patriarch has already blacklisted us.”
“So… hehe…”
When the Li family junior heard this, he laughed.
Thinking about it, which family clan didn’t want to suck up to us right now?
The Patriarch must have found these people too annoying, so he blocked them.
If it were him, he would do the same.
“Patriarch, please wait here. I’ll go in and inform the seniors. However, whether or not the Patriarch will let you in is not something I can control.”
All the Patriarchs nodded. “Thank you in advance.”
“Little brother, you look so young. You aren’t married, are you!
“The descendants of my clan are all very beautiful. All of them have celebrity faces. I’ll bring some over someday. You guys meet and interact with one another.” Patriarch Shui said.
The junior’s face darkened once he heard that.
Bringing some, you think I’m a Hercules bull.
The Li junior ran away without looking back.
…
In the guest lounge
At the table, Li Jingchen and the other elders began to make toasts to Qin Chuan one after another and discussed some matters regarding the Martial Arts Conference.
“Guest Elder Qin, there might be some changes in this Martial Arts Conference,” Li Jingchen said.
Qin Chuan asked, “What do you mean?”
Li Jingchen replied, “This year’s Martial Arts Conference is for the world, isn’t it!
“Two forces pose a great threat to us.”
“Patriarch Li, you guys are from the orthodox path of martial arts, and have a legacy of over a thousand years. In the field of martial arts, are there still any powers that can threaten you?” Qin Chuan said coolly.
Qin Chuan knew which two factions he was referring to.
Li Jingchen said, “Guest Elder Qin, given your capabilities, you might not have paid much attention to the Martial Arts Conference. Let me show you a few videos!”
With that, Li Jingchen took out a tablet, tapped on the videos, and showed them to Qin Chuan.
The videos were about the battles on Storm Island.
The first video was related to Yun Country.
Li Jingchen pointed at a young man holding a sword in the video and said, “Guest Elder Qin, this person is called Himura Kens.h.i.+n from Yun Country and is a top genius with swords.
“He was given the t.i.tle of Sword Saint-to-be before the age of thirty.
“In terms of Sword Dao, many martial arts family clans are more powerful than him, but they are all older than 70.
“There are some who are his peers, but it’s impossible to determine if they can defeat him.”
Qin Chuan calmly commented, “Since there’s no conclusion, there’s still a chance of victory. This isn’t too big of a threat.”
“Great Master Qin is right. The real threat is in the second video.”
Qin Chuan tapped on the second video.
Mm! It was w.a.n.g Zhixing and company.
When w.a.n.g Zhixing had returned, he had mentioned this matter and showed Qin Chuan a video.
Therefore, when Qin Chuan saw this video again, his mood did not change.
However, in this situation, he definitely had to show some expression.
“Who are these people?” Qin Chuan pretended to be shocked.
“Guest Elder Qin, these people are the biggest threat in this Martial Arts Conference. They are called Immortal Sect!”
“Immortal Sect? That’s a good name. Those who don’t know would think that they do immortal cultivation!” Qin Chuan casually commented.
But Li Jingchen did not take his comment to heart.
Li Jingchen continued, “Guest Minister Qin, did you see the strikes that the people from Immortal Sect just dealt?”
“A rough look, yes!” Qin Chuan nodded.
Li Jingchen couldn’t help but pause.
It makes sense. Guest Elder Qin is a Land Immortal. Given his outlook, he won’t think anything of them.
Following this, he continued, “Previously, I mentioned that Himura Kens.h.i.+n was a top-notch genius with the sword. Therefore, at a young age, he was given the t.i.tle of Sword Saint-to-be.
“However, compared to the people from Immortal Sect, he is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
“The Sword Dao from the Immortal Sect is at its peak.
“The few strikes they dealt all had sword aura. It is a realm that all swordsmen aspire to reach.”
Sword aura?
Qin Chuan was stunned.
Isn’t that a small spell in the Sword Kinesis Technique?
After all, they were martial artists. There might be some misunderstanding!
Qin Chuan didn’t point it out.
From the looks of it, Immortal Sect has indeed brought great pressure to them.
They were all cultivators, after all. If they couldn’t completely crush the martial artists, then their cultivation would have been for nothing.
At this moment, a young man ran in from outside. It was the junior who was guarding the door.
“Patriarch, Patriarchs of the family clans are outside, asking to greet Guest Elder Qin.”
“Guest Elder Qin…” Li Jingchen looked at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment before replying, “Since they are here to see me, it wouldn’t be nice to reject them.”
…
Not long after, Patriarchs outside the door came in with bright smiles on their faces. They were carrying many items in bags of all sizes.
