Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Following Xu Qingzhou's instructions, the Third Elder waited for a while, but You Chengwu and the others showed no sign of leaving, so he turned and left as well.

Only the four members of the You family, feeling awkward and angry, remained in the reception room.

However, they couldn't care less about their embarrassment and anger at this moment; they were more surprised because they all saw the Divine Decree in Xu Ying's hand.

As one of the top three families in the Martial Kingdom, they were naturally very clear about the status of the Divine Palace.

They also knew that the Divine Palace had already begun issuing tokens, and now that it was about to open, the entire Cangzhou would be shaken, with a large number of geniuses and prodigies heading there.

They never expected that a family from such a poor and remote place as the Xu family would have someone who could be admitted to the Divine Palace.

Therefore, they were full of doubts about it.

"Was that little girl holding the Divine Token just now?" the thin young man asked in surprise.

Another young man scoffed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our You family only produces one genius who can enter the Divine Palace every few hundred years. How could a small family like the Xu family possibly have anyone who can enter the Divine Palace!"

"What if they managed to snatch a Divine Palace Token by using all their family's resources?"

"That makes sense, hahaha."

The Divine Palace will issue Divine Palace Tokens throughout Cangzhou. Although they have not explicitly stated it, there is an unspoken rule that only young prodigies can compete for them, and the forces behind them cannot provide assistance.

If someone's Divine Palace Token is obtained through someone else's help, they will only be ridiculed if word gets out. If they fail the Divine Palace's regular assessments, they will be sent away directly.

The Divine Palace opens once every hundred years. Even the You family only has one prodigy who can enter the Divine Palace every few hundred years. What merit or ability does the small Xu family have to be able to enter the Divine Palace?

Therefore, they concluded that the Xu family did not obtain the Divine Palace Token through normal means.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had they finished speaking than You Chengwu suddenly turned his head and slapped them twice.

"Clap!"

The two were sent flying, their heads buzzing.

The strength is just right, and it's not nerve-wracking.

They sat on the ground, covering their faces, looking at You Chengwu in confusion, not understanding why the patriarch had suddenly hit them.

You Chengwu's face turned ashen as he muttered, "Fool! That little girl just now didn't just join the Divine Palace; there's a high chance she's already become the disciple of one of the palace masters!!"

The two looked horrified and shook their heads repeatedly.

"What? That's impossible! The Lord of Shenque Prefecture holds an extraordinary position, and his requirements for accepting disciples are incredibly high. Sometimes he won't accept a single disciple for hundreds of years. How could he possibly accept a little girl from a small family as his disciple?!"

"Yes! The disciple of the Divine Palace Master has the potential to inherit the position of Palace Master and take charge of the Divine Palace in the future. Such a person must be a chosen one of heaven."

"The Xu family, a small family, must have accumulated countless years of good fortune to produce a top-tier spiritual body who was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Divine Palace. This is utterly absurd!"

You Chengwu sighed, feeling both angry and helpless. How could there be such a stupid person in his family?

"The reason I'm certain she's been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Manor is..."

"Firstly, because she just said that her master transmitted his voice through the token, saying that he was almost there. In the Divine Palace, only three palace masters can accept disciples."

"Secondly, it's because she's too young, only about ten years old. Such a person, apart from being accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Palace, cannot enter the Divine Palace even with the Divine Palace Decree."

The two young men looked stunned and incredulous upon hearing this.

Even if they were stupid, they would understand the second reason You Chengwu mentioned. It was obvious that Xu Ying had been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Manor, which was why she was qualified to obtain the Divine Palace Token at such a young age.

Therefore, neither of them dared to imagine how high her talent and future achievements might be.

Most importantly, I think I just offended her father.

This, this, this...

Thinking of this, the two panicked completely and became terrified, scrambling to You Chengwu's side.

"Master...Master, we...we..."

They were so frightened they were trembling and unable to speak.

A single word from the Lord of Shenque Prefecture could bring disaster not only to the two of them, but to the entire You family.

I didn't just kick a steel plate, I practically kicked a pillar of heaven!

They were afraid, and You Chengwu, who knew the power of the Divine Palace, was even more afraid.

Just then, the Third Elder, who had gone off somewhere, returned. He had originally wanted to see if they had left, but he was surprised to find that they were still there and that something had changed.

Just now, they were all arrogant and haughty, acting all high and mighty.

Now, however, they all looked terrified, as if they had seen something horrible.

The Third Elder was very puzzled. What happened? He had only been gone for a short while, so how could things have turned out like this?

Upon seeing the Third Elder, You Chengwu immediately stood up, smiled, and stepped forward, bowing slightly.

"I remember you just said you were the third elder of the Xu family, right? Oh my, I've heard so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The Third Elder was completely bewildered.

I've never even left the Great Qian Dynasty in my entire life, and I'm only at the Purple Mansion Realm now. How come you've heard so much about me?

Are you out of your mind, or did I mishear you?

Seeing that the Third Elder did not speak, You Chengwu not only did not get angry, but even continued to praise him and the Xu family with a smile.

"I observe that the Xu family's fortune is like a dragon's, and they will surely produce many talented individuals in the future, soaring to great heights and becoming renowned throughout Cangzhou and even the entire Tianyuan Realm!"

Now the Third Elder was certain that this person had definitely lost his mind.

I know that our Xu family is powerful within the three great dynasties, but outside of them we are nothing. How can you make it sound like we are already the overlord of Cangzhou?

And you look so different from how you were just now!

As expected of the patriarch of a large family, his ability to change his expression is unmatched.

After praising him, You Chengwu asked, "I wonder if Chief Xu is busy right now? I'd like to see him and talk about my daughter's marriage to my son-in-law, Xu Chen."

what?

The Third Elder is already quite old. Just a moment ago they were at each other's throats, discussing a perfect match in terms of social standing. How did it suddenly escalate to talking about marriage?

Could it be that someone drugged them shortly after I left?

The Third Elder replied, "The clan leader is currently occupied."

You Chengwu quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright, we can wait. But please be sure to tell Chief Xu that we were wrong in our attitude just now. We hope Chief Xu can give us a chance to apologize in person."

His humble appearance was so unbelievable that no one would believe he was the patriarch of the You family in the Wu Kingdom, and that the person he was facing was just an elder from a small, impoverished family in a remote village.

"I can only tell the clan leader at most, but it's uncertain whether he'll even see me," the Third Elder said.

You Chengwu nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, thank you for your help."
