Chapter 263: The Descendants Of The White-Robed General, It Really Is Him
While the Shang branch clan was in a bad situation, the Young Bai Clan Leader came to push for a forced marriage.
Just when the few elders were turning their coats, a crisp voice rang out from outside the Shang clan great hall. Several people walked in.
The person at the very front of the group was a young man.
In a wide-sleeved white robe and a jade crown atop of his head, the young man exuded a regal aura, appearing as though he was an immortal who had descended from the heavens. His entrance stunned everyone in the hall.
Even the Shang clan’s young lady, who usually set her eyes at high standards, could not help but feel dazed by this young man.
How was there such a good-looking man in this world?!
The Young Bai Clan Leader stared at the young man with envy in his eyes. He thought that he was one of the rare few handsome guys in all of Nimbus City.
However, in front of this young man, he appeared to pale in comparison.
Nothing more needed to be said as this group of people was naturally Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, and the Shang clan elder who showed them the way here. They were here for the Lou clan’s ancient sword.
“Who are you guys?”
Shang Long furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the few uninvited guests in front of him.
The Shang clan elder beside Chu Kuangren remained silent as he took out his elder token, revealing his identity. Everyone from the Shang clan was shocked.
“Main clan elder!”
“It’s someone from the main clan, no less an elder.”
“Greetings, elder.”
Shang Long and the rest of the people hurriedly bowed down.
While on one side, the Young Bai Clan Leader frowned. “Someone from the Shang main clan… Why would they be here at Nimbus City at this moment?”
Chu Kuangren’s havoc-wreaking at the Shang clan had wounded and killed so many of them, so the main clan elder should be at the main clan to help reorganize things. Yet why was he here at Nimbus City instead?
Deep down, the Young Bai Clan Leader was confused, but since an elder from the main clan was here now, it would be no good for them to remain here.
“Let’s leave.”
The Young Bai Clan Leader led his people out.
Before he left the place for good, he and the Bai family’s Senior Elder swept a glance at Chu Kuangren. They had a feeling that this person was not what he seemed to be.
However, Chu Kuangren did not really heed the two.
Instead, he looked at Shang Long, and he took out the Lou clan’s ancient sword without uttering another word. He then said, “Does this sword belong to you guys?”
The people present were somewhat baffled, and they did not know what Chu Kuangren wanted. With that, Shang Long looked towards the main clan elder as if trying to get a hint of what was going on.
“Just answer whatever Sect Leader Chu has just asked.”
The main clan elder said calmly.
When Shang Long and the rest heard the three words “Sect Leader Chu”, their faces instantly turned pale. The few elders’ legs went limp, almost fainted onto the floor, as they stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
“Sect Leader Chu, please, take a seat.” Shang Long hastily invited Chu Kuangren to take a seat at the main seat, not daring to show any sign of delay or reluctance.
This person in front of them was someone with extremely high esteem, someone whom they never imagined they would ever meet.
“So, does this sword belong to you guys?”
Chu Kuangren sat down at the main seat and repeated his question.
Shang Long glanced at the Lou clan’s ancient sword.
“Yes, it’s ours.”
Of course he would recognize this sword. This was the ancient sword that was passed down in his wife’s family.
“Where’s the origin of this sword?”
“This is the ancient sword that is inherited by my family.”
The lady right beside Shang Long said.
Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation activated as he looked at the lady in front of him.
“Lou Yun, the Shang branch Clan Leader, Shang Long’s wife…”
Surname Lou?
Is she related to the Lou Kingdom?
Nevertheless, that could not certify anything, so he continued to use his Eye of Revelation to pry more information about this person.
The Eye of Revelation seemed to have sensed what he had in mind too as it quickly revealed more information about her bloodline in his vision field
“Her blood contains a strand of White-Robed General energy. Chances of her being the descendant of the White-Robed General is as high as 97%…”
“Seems like I’ve looked in the right place.”
Chu Kuangren then turned to look at Shang Qingxue who was beside her.
“Shang Qingxue, daughter of Lou Yun, cultivation level at late-stage Golden Core Realm, possesses the Deep Freeze Physique, but non-activated…”
“Her blood contains a strand of White-Robed General energy. Chances of her being the descendant of the White-Robed General is as high as 97%…”
Oh, it was still a hidden physique.
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised.
However, he did not take that too much heart. The Deep Freeze Physique might be a top-notch physique, but he had his Three Great Supreme Daoist Techniques, so it did not catch his eye at all.
He once again took out the jade talisman that the White-Robed General gave him.
Then, the jade talisman vibrated slightly.
With the Eye of Revelation and the White-Robed General’s certification. It was sufficient to certify that this Lou Yun and Shang Qingxue in front of him were indeed descendants of the White-Robed General.
“Why do you have this jade talisman?!”
At this moment, Lou Yun looked incredibly shocked.
She took out another almost identical jade talisman and said, “This jade talisman belonged to my ancestor, how is it that you have it too?”
The people gave Chu Kuangren a curious glance.
Chu Kuangren replied, “I made an agreement with your ancestor to help him look for his descendants. He wanted me to look after you two.”
However, Lou Yun had a weird look on her face.
This jade talisman dated back several hundred thousand years ago, and the ancestor of her clan had passed away at least about a few hundred thousand years ago. How was it possible that Chu Kuangren could make an agreement with the person?
Compared to Lou Yun’s bewilderment, Shang Long and the few elders were more stunned. They carefully analyzed what Chu Kuangren actually meant.
To look after Lou Yun and Shang Qingxue?!
Well, d*mn!
This meant that he was willing to be someone whom they could rely on!
If this guy in front of them was really the person whom they thought him to be, then this would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for them!
“May I trouble Clan Leader Shang Long to help us arrange two suites? I plan to stay over for two days.” Chu Kuangren said.
Since he had promised the White-Robed General to look after his descendants, he should be preparing this mother-daughter duo for better.
“Yes, sure. I’ll ask my men to cater to that at once.”
Shang Long immediately replied.
After Chu Kuangren and his companion had left the place, the entire great hall was plunged into pin-drop silence. One of the elders asked the main clan elder, “Elder, is this guy really the person whom we think he is?”
The main clan elder nodded in response, “Yes.”
The whole group of people gasped in horror.
Goodness, it really was Chu Kuangren!
However, not long after, they started to feel weirded out again. “Elder, isn’t Chu Kuangren an enemy of the Shang clan? Why is he here then?”
“Shut your mouth!”
The main clan elder’s facial expression abruptly changed as he glanced around in immense fear. He only sighed in relief when he was sure Chu Kuangren was now far away.
“Who told you that Sect Leader Chu is our enemy? Please don’t utter such nonsense again in the future, or else I’ll send you to the heavens with one slap!”
“Yes, yes, understood.”
Seeing his reaction, Shang Long and the few others could not help but shudder.
The main clan elder was a big deal to people like them. One word from him could decide the fate of their branch clan.
Even he was so terrified of Chu Kuangren.
It truly was hard to imagine.
The main clan elder looked toward Lou Yun and Shang Qingxue at the side and said, “I believe both of your lives are about to be changed.”
Did they know what kind of extraordinary being Chu Kuangren was?
It was not at all exaggerated to say that the moment he decided to protect somebody, even if this somebody was just normal folk, nobody would dare to touch the said person.
In the same sense, if he wanted to help somebody, even if this somebody was a fool, he or she would still be guaranteed to ride on his greatness and ascend into superiority!
Not just the main clan elder, but the remaining few elders too were looking at the mother-daughter duo in envy. Even Shang Long himself felt that way.
When the elders think back on their act of persuading Shang Qingxue to marry into the Bai family earlier, they felt like giving themselves a hard slap in the face.
They had almost given away such a great opportunity to somebody else.
“Well, Clan Leader, I hope you don’t mind what happened earlier.”
“We were just desperate. We’ve watched Qingxue grow since she was a little kid, we too were not willing to give her away like that.”
“Yeah, our clan was on the brink of extinction, and the pressure was just too much for us to have any clear judgment. I hope you’ll see past our mistakes and not take to heart our foolish decisions.”
The few elders hurriedly apologized for their actions earlier.
Shang Long merely stood there at a side and watched them, his face emotionless. He did say anything either as he had long seen through these deceits.
