114: Jade Gang

Chen Xuan looked at the trembling Zhao Weiwu and quickly hugged his son back.

"I say, old man, what's wrong with you? Now you can't even hold a child steady?"

Zhao Weiwu still didn't speak, he just stood there trembling, and finally couldn't support himself, plopping down onto the ground, stammering out a trembling sentence: "My Zhao Family has finally endured through!"

"Tsk, look how excited you are, this is still my son!" Chen Xuan complained.

However, Zhao Weiwu ignored him and looked at Zhao Lingwu.

"Girl, what are your plans? Do you have any arrangements for this child's future?"

"I'm not sure either, I'll see what my husband says!"

"My son-in-law, what are your plans?"

"Oh, that, I'm still considering it, but I don't plan to let him stay in the Zhao Family!"

"Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I would mistreat my precious grandson?"

"That's not it, what I mean is, the environment here is too poor! After all, there's an uncle obsessed with power, a bunch of Families hostile to your Zhao Family, and a covetous Imperial Family."

"If these people knew about my son's talent, do you think they would be able to sleep?"

"This..." Zhao Weiwu was speechless, and even Zhao Lingwu frowned. Chen Xuan didn't say it, but she really hadn't realized how dangerous her son would be!

"So I don't plan to keep my son in the Zhao Family."

"My son-in-law makes a good point, not a single thing must happen to my precious grandson! So what do you plan to do?"

"What to do? Find him a backer!"

"Backer?"

"Exactly, as long as I find him a powerful Master to protect him, he will naturally grow up!"

"Who do you want to find to be his Master? It wouldn't be someone from your Xuan Yang Sect, would it?"

"Oh, old man, you're quite clever. The person I'm finding for him is precisely the Sect Master of Xuan Yang Sect, Liu Yuning!"

"No, absolutely not! If my precious grandson goes to that kind of place from a young age, he might not recognize my Zhao Family when he grows up. He absolutely cannot go to that kind of place!" Zhao Weiwu flatly refused.

"That's why I informed you, old man, to come over!"

"What, what do you mean?"

"As long as you accompany my son as a study companion, this problem will be solved easily!"

"Accompany, study companion? You mean a personal attendant, right! It's not impossible! But if I leave the Zhao Family, then Ling Wu here won't be good..."

"No, my wife and I are also leaving!"

"Hey, you brat, I knew you had ill intentions. You married my girl and now you want to abduct her. I'm telling you, no way!" Zhao Weiwu blew his beard and glared.

"What are you saying, old man, what are you saying?! Don't you want to see your daughter happy every day? Don't you want to let little Zhao Zheng have a younger brother or sister to accompany him? You are too selfish!"

Chen Xuan spoke righteously, but Zhao Lingwu's cheeks were flushed. Of course, she was shy when her husband said this in front of her own father.

"Hiss, what you said makes sense. My precious grandson should indeed have a playmate, otherwise, he'll be so lonely by himself, and it might even affect his future Dao Heart. He really should have a companion!"

"But what about the Zhao Family here..." Zhao Weiwu was extremely conflicted.

"How about I give you a suggestion?"

"Tell me!"

"You just need to bring the absolute core of the Zhao Family and go to the Xuan Yang Sect together. As long as you guard my son until he grows into an adult, this entire Mountain and Sea Realm won't be within your Zhao Family's grasp? Why only look at immediate benefits!"

"Reasonable! My son-in-law makes a good point! It's settled then, I'll go inform them now!" Zhao Weiwu was instantly excited when he heard Chen Xuan's plan.

He wasn't a fool; discerning truth from falsehood wasn't a problem. What Chen Xuan said was perfectly fine. As long as little Zhao Zheng grew up and matured, their Zhao Family would be crucial in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm!

"Wait!"

"What else?"

"I think, Elder Zhao Yi doesn't need to go along. Leaving him here to continue developing the Zhao Family is the best strategy!"

"You don't trust him?"

"Wife, I think it's better if you talk to him about this!" Chen Xuan shook his head and sat beside Zhao Lingwu.

... ...

Cultivation World, Zhang Family.

This is a secluded location within the Cultivation World, nestled amidst a Spiritual Qi-rich mountain range, tranquil and shrouded in mist.

Passing through the main gate, a winding path paved with bluestone came into view, extending into layers of buildings. On both sides of the path, various rare and exotic Spiritual Plants and beautiful Spiritual Flowers competed in splendor, their fragrant scent permeating the air.

At this moment, in the lavishly decorated assembly hall of the Zhang Family, Zhang Wei, the Clan Chief of the Zhang Family, was seated at the head, looking at the elite members of the Clan present, and slowly began to speak:

"Everyone, calculating the time, the Mountain and Sea Realm of our Clan is about to produce another batch of immortal spirit grass. Whose turn is it this time to extract it from the Lower Realm?"

The assembly hall was silent; no one answered his question. After a long while, a white-haired Elder stood up and said:

"Replying to Clan Chief, all the Elders have already been to the Lower Realm once, but you recently invited Jade Master to become a new Elder of our Zhang Family. According to the order, it should be Jade Master's turn."

After speaking, he looked at Yu Gang, who was sitting beside Zhang Wei.

Yu Gang was a middle-aged scholar. He was tall and slender like a jade tree, with an elegant aura emanating from his brows. But if one looked closely, they would notice a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei frowned.

This was simply because Yu Gang's cultivation was extremely low, making it impossible for him to go to the Lower Realm! If he really went, he might even be beaten to death by the natives in the Mountain and Sea Realm!

As for why he invited Yu Gang to be an Elder of his Zhang Family, it was because Yu Gang had extremely rich theoretical knowledge of various realms! He even knew a great deal about the functions of the immortal spirit grass, which was a specialty of his Zhang Family!

"I believe everyone is aware of Elder Yu's situation. Is it perhaps a bit... to let him go to that Mountain and Sea Realm?"

"Clan Chief, you are mistaken. Since Elder Yu is already an Elder of our Clan and enjoys all the benefits of an Elder, he naturally must also bear the responsibilities of an Elder, isn't that right?" The old man continued.

"Yes, yes, this indeed goes against the rules. Everyone is an Elder, so naturally, we must share responsibilities! How can one enjoy special privileges just because of this?"

Immediately, the crowd below became agitated, as no one wanted to go to the Lower Realm.

immortal spirit grass was indeed a good thing, after all, with the word 'immortal' in its name, its value was undoubtedly high.

Not to mention improving cultivation and so on, what was important was that it could extend lifespan, detoxify, and be used in Alchemy! Moreover, it could replenish Spiritual Qi during combat, and although the replenishment in all aspects wasn't much, it was still a highly sought-after item in the Cultivation World!

Only powerful Families like their Zhang Family could maintain the trade of immortal spirit grass! If ordinary small Families had these immortal spirit grasses, they would have been annihilated long ago!
