Chapter 438 Is Chen Xuan a Big Shot?

Chapter 438 Chen Xuan is a Big Shot?

Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Xuan walked towards the villa's living room.

Inside the villa's living room, at the dining table, besides Huang Yuyan who had just entered, sat an elder in a Tang suit and a woman in her thirties wearing casual clothes.

Huang Yuyan bit her lip lightly, her pretty face filled with resentment, "Senior Sister Chu He, this isn't my father's fault. If anyone's to blame, it's that big liar who deceived Jiangzhou's wealthy!"

The woman in casual clothes shook her head slightly, "Junior Sister Yuyan, don't worry, senior sister will stand up for you later! I will definitely expose his ugly true face and help you vent your anger!"

The elder in the Tang suit waved his hand, "As the saying goes, a great reputation is not without substance. Xiao He, don't make assumptions."

"Okay, Grandpa, I understand," the woman in casual clothes said dismissively.

The elder in the Tang suit glanced at his granddaughter and shook his head faintly. His granddaughter was good in every way, except she was a bit too opinionated. She would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

"Yuyan, not to be rude, but your family here is treating my grandpa with too much disrespect. Making him wait for so long?"

After two minutes, the woman in casual clothes said impatiently.

"Senior sister, my dad is usually very polite. If anyone's to blame... it's all that guy." Huang Yuyan stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit sheepish.

"Hmph!"

"I'd like to see who this 'big shot' really is!"

The woman in casual clothes snorted coquettishly and curiously looked towards the outside.

A moment later, Chen Xuan's figure caught the eye of the woman in casual clothes.

"Chen Xuan?"

The woman in casual clothes suddenly stood up, her mouth agape, almost wide enough to fit an egg.

"Gao Chu He?"

Chen Xuan was also taken aback. He turned his head and saw that the woman in casual clothes was none other than Su Yunxi's good friend from a martial arts family in Yang County, Shengcheng. It was Gao Chu He!

Gao Chu He's beautiful eyes flickered with shock.

She never expected Chen Xuan to be the esteemed figure that the wealthy people of Jiangzhou were so respectful towards. She had previously said that Chen Xuan had no connections in Jiangzhou, wasn't this a direct slap in the face?

Huang Yuyan was stunned and then looked at Gao Chu He, not expecting her senior sister to know this fellow.

"So Mr. Chen knows Miss Gao. That's wonderful!"

Mayor Huang's heart rejoiced, and he quickly said.

Alliance Leader Long and the President of the Medical Association exchanged glances, also feeling secretly pleased.

Although Chen Xuan was very confident, they dared not place the safety of Jiangzhou's people solely on Chen Xuan.

They had invited the Gao family here today to stand up for Jiangzhou's matters.

They also had concerns, fearing they might anger Chen Xuan, but now that the two parties knew each other, things were much easier.

"Mr. Chen, please take a seat, please take a seat!"

Alliance Leader Long personally pulled out the main seat for Chen Xuan.

"Mr. Chen, please sit here!"

Chen Xuan rightfully went to the main seat and sat down.

Watching Chen Xuan sit in the main seat, Gao Chu He furrowed her brows.

Everyone else took their seats, though there weren't many people. Only the three great figures of Jiangzhou were present; the others had gone to another prepared room to dine.

With everyone seated, Mayor Huang, as the host, stood up, pointed to the elder sitting next to Gao Chu He, and said with a smile, "Let me introduce everyone. This is Elder Gao from Yang County, Shengcheng. He is a half-step Internal Force Grandmaster, only a step away from becoming a full Internal Force Grandmaster!"

Many people knew Elder Gao's realm, but they were still shocked.

A half-step Internal Force Grandmaster could walk sideways in Shengcheng.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan also looked at the elder with surprise.

Half-step Grandmasters were not common!

"The person beside him is Elder Gao's granddaughter, Gao Chu He, a Ninth-Rank Internal Force Master."

Mayor Huang pointed to Gao Chu He and introduced her.

Internal Force Master?

Chen Xuan glanced at Gao Chu He, not surprised.

The first time he met Gao Chu He at the Su family, he had already sensed that she was a martial arts expert.

A Ninth-Rank Internal Force Master under thirty years old was indeed worthy of being from a Shengcheng martial arts family. Such a foundation was far beyond that of other martial arts powers.

However, Chen Xuan wasn't too surprised, as Mo Xiaoxue had already entered the realm of Internal Force Grandmasters.

Seeing the two, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, having already guessed the intentions of Jiangzhou's three giants. They were still not at ease with him.

But, he could understand.

Soon, Mayor Huang also introduced, "This is Mr. Chen Xuan, a local expert of our Jiangzhou!"

After the introductions, Mayor Huang began to get down to business.

Business before drinks was the rule.

"As the Mayor of Jiangzhou, I want to thank Mr. Chen and Elder Gao for agreeing to fight for the people of Jiangzhou! I thank you both."

Mayor Huang spoke as if he were delivering a speech, even using official jargon. Mayor Huang and the President of the Medical Association looked quite disdainful.

"Mayor Huang is too kind. Since Yuyan has joined my Gao family, it is my duty to help Jiangzhou and solve its difficulties," Elder Gao said with a faint smile, appearing quite dignified.

"Thank you for your praise, Elder Gao."

His beloved daughter having been praised, Mayor Huang couldn't stop smiling.

"Alright, let's discuss how to face Xiao Qingyao. I'll first state Jiangzhou's idea."

Mayor Huang said faintly, "Jiangzhou has decided to let Mr. Chen fight first. If Mr. Chen can defeat Xiao Qingyao, then all will be happy. Even if he cannot defeat Xiao Qingyao, Xiao Qingyao will likely be severely weakened. I believe with Elder Gao's strength, victory will be within reach."

Upon hearing this decision, Elder Gao also frowned.

This suggestion seemed to place Elder Gao in a supporting role, but it clearly showed a lack of trust in him. Was Elder Gao supposed to be the one to clean up the mess?

Gao Chu He looked at Chen Xuan in surprise.

The extent to which Jiangzhou's wealthy people valued Chen Xuan surpassed that for her grandfather. Her grandfather was the foremost expert in Yang County, sought after by many.

Could it be that her grandfather was not as good as Chen Xuan, who needed his mother-in-law to find him a job?

This was simply too much disrespect!

"May I know if everyone agrees?"

Mayor Huang scanned Chen Xuan, Elder Gao, and Gao Chu He, asking.

Chen Xuan nodded faintly, "I have no objections."

Mayor Huang smiled and nodded at Chen Xuan, then looked at Elder Gao and Gao Chu He. Seeing that they remained silent, he assumed they agreed and said, "Then it's decided..."

Before he could finish, Gao Chu He interrupted Mayor Huang, "I disagree!"

"Uh..."

Mayor Huang was taken aback. He turned to Gao Chu He and said with a smile, "Miss Gao, please state any objections you have. We can discuss them."

Although Gao Chu He was not old, she was Elder Gao's beloved granddaughter and possessed extraordinary talent. Even as the mayor of a city, he had to treat her with respect.

Gao Chu He pointed at Chen Xuan's nose, her eyes full of disdain, "What qualifications does he have to fight first? Are you people in Jiangzhou looking down on my grandfather?"

Mayor Huang's heart trembled.

A half-step Grandmaster was someone who could wield power even in Shengcheng. Mayor Huang did not dare to offend him easily.

He was in a difficult position, "Miss Gao, you may have misunderstood. We do not disrespect Elder Gao."

"I don't think so?"

Gao Chu He snorted, "Then why not let my grandfather go first?"

Huang Yuyan also said indignantly, "Dad, Senior Sister is right. How can you let my grand-master fight later?"

"Shut up, don't cause trouble!"

Mayor Huang shouted at Huang Yuyan. Huang Yuyan turned pale with fright.

After speaking, Mayor Huang took a breath and looked at Gao Chu He, "Miss Gao, our Mr. Chen's strength is also extraordinary."

Gao Chu He curled her lips, "Extraordinary? He's just a live-in son-in-law who needs his mother-in-law to find him a job? Are the people of Jiangzhou all so blind?"
