Immortal Emperor's Life As A Son-in-law

0The matter of the Merchant Union's gathering had come to an end, but the aftermath had yet to fade.    

    

The mighty strength that Xiao Chen had displayed had thrown all the members and families into a state of shock for a long period of time.    

    

Not only that, the Yov family's conspiracy had also aroused the strong vigilance and uneasiness of the families.    

    

In the past, although the hidden families were high and mighty, they were also arrogant and despotic.    

    

However, the hidden aristocratic families had never done anything like this in the secular world.    

    

At most, they relied on their own strength to take advantage of the situation in the secular world, the Ai Martial Cultivation family.    

    

But now, not only had the hidden aristocratic families entered the secular world, they had also taken action against the people of the Martial Cultivation family.    

    

The tranquility of the past had been broken, and the hidden aristocratic families were no longer like the idle clouds and wild cranes that the Martial Cultivation family used to think were.    

    

When the news spread, it made all the major families besides the members of the Merchant Union wary and uneasy.    

    

At the same time, it also spread about Xiao Chen's strength and the tempting benefits that the Merchant Union brought up.    

    

Most importantly, the group of Dragon Subduing Team members under Xiao Chen's command had shown their formidable strength.    

    

Those were the "geniuses" that were carefully nurtured by the various families, but they had lost so miserably under the hands of the Dragon Subduing Team members.    

    

Especially the strength that Lin Zhiwei, Gu Zhaonian, and Lin Yichao had displayed.    

    

If the three young men who had obtained the quotas during the battle were Lin and Gu, they would have met them.    

    

The three representatives of these families were almost certain that they had no chance of winning.    

    

This also forced the people of the various large families to realize a problem:    

    

That was, what Xiao Chen possessed was not only his powerful cultivation base, but also his extraordinary skill in alchemy.    

    

Also, he had a complete system of cultivating talents!    

    

After all, before this, the Lin family and the Gu family were not some Martial Cultivation family. They were merely business families.    

    

After the investigations of the various families, all of these started to change. It all started after the Gu family, the Lin family, and Xiao Chen became friends.    

    

Most importantly, the other people of the Lin family and the Gu family still didn't know how to cultivate.    

    

Those with cultivation bases were only the few people who were on good terms with Xiao Chen.    

    

Wasn't this indirectly telling them that Lin Yichao, Gu Zhaonian, and the others suddenly started cultivating martial cultivation had something to do with Xiao Chen?    

    

This caused the hearts of the people from the various families to suddenly heat up.    

    

What did they spend so much effort to send their family members into the Hidden Sect for? Of course, it wasn't just for the awe-inspiring reputation of the Hidden Sect!    

    

Everyone had long understood one thing when they were in the business world:    

    

Whether it was business or running a family, the most important thing was that one needed to be tough when forging iron!    

    

Therefore, what they wanted was not only the reputation of the Hidden Sect, but also the secret cultivation technique of the Hidden Sect, which was even more powerful than those of the secular world.    

    

Xiao Chen could even easily defeat the hidden aristocratic families, so the secret manuals he possessed would definitely not be too bad.    

    

Of course, Gu Zhaonian and the others' performance in the battle had also indirectly proved this point.    

    

And because of this, the people of the various families had also seen another possibility from Xiao Chen.    

    

Furthermore, compared to the Hidden Sect, which had cut off all contact with the family as soon as they entered the sect, there hadn't been any response for decades.    

    

Xiao Chen was obviously more "vulgar," and he also had a clear goal and plot. On the contrary, it made the people of the various families feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of.    

    

A similar thought popped up in everyone's minds.    

    

As long as they maintained a good relationship with Xiao Chen, with Xiao Chen's generosity, even if he taught them the secret manual, it would not be impossible.    

    

Or, if they were lucky, they could even get Xiao Chen's set of training methods and systems.    

    

At this point, they no longer had any complaints about joining the Merchant Union, and they were no longer just afraid of Xiao Chen's power.    

    

Maintaining their status in the Merchant Union, as well as their relationship with Chu and Zhang Alliance, had become one of their conspiracies.    

    

Not only was it related to their interests in the business world, but it had also risen to a height that could influence the future of their families.    

    

Of course, no matter how smart Xiao Chen was, it was impossible for him to arrange everything in detail to this extent.    

    

However, for these family members to have such thoughts, there was nothing bad about it for him.    

    

As for the so-called system, he did have it. He didn't mind teaching it to these families.    

    

That wasn't a secret to begin with.    

    

Because, to put it bluntly, this system was actually very simple. It was a hellish drill.    

    

The training that the group of young men from the Dragon Subduing Team had gone through was beyond the imagination of those 'geniuses' that were held in the hands of those families.    

    

Even if they handed over this system, there was nothing strange about it.    

    

The main reason why he was able to create the Dragon Subduing Team was because of the Spirit Sculpting Pill and the cultivation techniques that he had modified.    

    

As long as these were still in his hands, the system would not be of much use.    

    

Therefore, he did not mind sharing this so-called system with the people of the various families if they wanted it.    

    

However, it was not that easy to obtain a cultivation technique.    

    

As for the Spirit Sculpting Pill, it was even more impossible for him to take it out. He didn't intend to bring Earth back to the Immortal Cultivation Era from ten thousand years ago.

At least, before he truly understood the Hidden Sect, he wouldn't have such thoughts.    

    

Regardless of what those families were thinking, Xiao Chen was currently in a pretty good mood.    

    

The establishment of the Merchant Union had also been reported by the media on a large scale. It had been exaggerated as a precursor to the change in the structure of the southeast business world.    

    

As for the Chu and Zhang alliances, because of this incident, they had once again become the object of discussion in the business world of the southeast.    

    

Therefore, Chu Huaiyu was very busy and very busy.    

    

Initially, she thought that by returning the Chu's's traditional business to the Chu family, she would be able to have some free time.    

    

But now, not only did she control the technology of the Chu's, she also controlled the Merchant Union, which made the burden on her shoulders heavier.    

    

Even so, she still took some time every day to concentrate on her cultivation under Xiao Chen's guidance.    

    

Because of this, she had more time to accompany Xiao Chen than when she was in charge of the entire Chu's.    

    

As for Xiao Chen, he naturally wasn't idle either.    

    

After the gathering ended, he started preparing for the Spring Festival.    

    

His first task was to get rid of all the spies that were wandering around Jin Lan.    

    

He didn't want to be distracted by those bastards in the Spring Festival.    

    

Under the lead of Faang Yuan, the Dragon Subduing Team carried out this task personally.    

    

As for those "nails" that were covered by companies and stores, Xiao Chen personally took action.    

    

For example, the Red Association's businesses in the Golden Orchid were all bought by Xiao Chen at a high price. He chased all the Red Association members out of the Golden Orchid.    

    

This was also the first time he had cleaned up the Golden Orchid Region on such a large scale.    

    

Xiao Chen's power had triggered a new round of earthquakes in the Golden Orchid Region. In an instant, everyone in the Golden Orchid Region felt threatened.    

    

Luckily, Xiao Chen did not want to annex all the companies. He just wanted to get rid of those who had ulterior motives or hidden dangers.    

    

Even so, it made many of Jin Lan's people wipe away their cold sweat.    

    

After doing all of this, New Year's Eve was almost here. The city was filled with lanterns and colorful banners, and the smell of the year assailed their nostrils.
