As an elder of the Zhao Family, she represented the face of the Zhao Family. Yet, she was defeated by a young man of the Wu Family. Zhao E was very embarrassed. Cheng Qing's strength surprised her, but the one who puzzled her even more was Cheng Qing.
Zhao E was well aware of her own skills. Whether it was her seductive charm or her crafty smile, she was very good at it. She had been able to become an elder of the Zhao Family at such a young age, and it was because of this that she did a lot for the Zhao Family.
But now, these people who were previously unstoppable and unfavorable had lost their power in front of a young man from a market. This was something that Zhao E Mei could not understand no matter how hard she tried.
"Young people are full of vigor and vigor, bewitching techniques are most useful to them. There are countless youths that are captivated by me, so how can this Cheng Qing resist the temptation?"
Zhao E frowned as she thought to herself, "I was hiding some silver needles and was about to make a move, but Cheng Qing suddenly attacked me. Could it be that he sensed my thoughts, but how did he do that?" Even many of the older martial arts world fell to this old lady's hands. Yet, this young man is controlling me. How is this possible? "
The more Zhao E Mei thought about it, the more at a loss she felt. The image of Cheng Qing gradually became blurred in her mind, until it became even more unfathomable and strange, which made her even more curious. She couldn't help but think about it, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
"Elder, the Patriarch is calling you."
While Zhao E was secretly conflicted, a servant girl came in to pass on a message.
Having been reminded by the maidservant's words, Zhao Yanmei looked up and realized that it was already ten o'clock in the evening. As the sun was setting outside the window, she had actually thought about it for more than two hours!
"Right away."
When Zhao Yimei saw Zhao Hetu in the study room, the head of the Zhao Family sitting on his overseer's chair had a sullen look on his face. He immediately said, "A dignified elder of the Zhao Family with more than a dozen experts was kicked out of the Wu Family by a young man from the city. If word of this gets out, where will the reputation of my Zhao Family go?"
Zhao E sighed. "I never thought that Chen Qing would be so hard to deal with."
"Chen Qing is difficult to deal with, but he can't become the reason for our Zhao Family's reputation being swept clean!" "There must be a solution to this matter."
"Chen Qing just let us go and we turned around to take revenge. If word of this got out, it would be bad for the reputation of the Zhao Family."
Zhao Hetu snorted coldly, "You think you need to remind me? I have my own plans! "
At this time, Zhao Hetu's trusted steward came in and reported, "Patriarch, everyone is here."
"En!" Zhao Hetu nodded in agreement, then he stood up and said to Zhao E and furrowed his brows, "Follow me."
The two of them soon arrived at the living room of the Zhao Family. There were already many people there. When Zhao E glanced over, her eyes darkened. These people were all Patriarchs of the small and middle-sized families of South City.
When these people saw Zhao Hetu enter, they hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Patriarch."
The Zhao Family was the biggest family in Southern City and was the local despot of Southern City. The other small and medium-sized families had to follow the Zhao Family's lead.
"There's no need to be so polite." Zhao Hetu walked straight to the seat of honor and sat down beside him. The former looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I believe all of you should understand why I have invited you here today, right?"
