After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

"Do you really not know who stole the treasure?"

Chu Tian was anxious, as the real culprit was about to be revealed, and he was unwilling to give up so easily.

“Mr. Chu, not only do I not know, but even the Holy Lord of Miao Jiang does not know.”

"However, this group is definitely not from Miao territory, otherwise the Holy Lord would know about it and wouldn't have sent me to develop in the southwest."

Mr. Wu explained everything in detail.

"What does this have to do with your development in Miao territory?"

Chu Tian was somewhat confused; these two things seemed unrelated.

"Mr. Chu, you may not know this, but this treasure of the Chu family is sealed. To open it, a large amount of rare metals are needed as a key."

“But purchasing large quantities of rare metals requires money.”

Listening to Mr. Wu's explanation, Chu Tian gained a completely new understanding of his family's mysterious treasure.

The destruction of the Chu family was for treasure, but their true aim was likely to achieve hegemony.

However, the treasure cannot be used, so we can find clues by investigating the mining and purchasing of rare metals.

This is a clue; at least it gives us a direction and a clearer idea than before.

It can be considered that I gained something.

"But the treasures aren't in your Holy Lord's hands, so what are you doing making so much money?"

"You should know that once the news of the Miao people's birth is exposed, Kunlun Tianmen will definitely send a large army to press on the border."

"Will your Miao region be able to withstand it at that time?"

Mr. Wu chuckled, “Isn’t this taking precautions? As long as we have money, we can buy rare metals. Even if the treasure isn’t in our Holy Lord’s hands, those rare metals are still necessities for making weapons for warriors.”

“Our Holy Lord has great foresight and wants to unify China, so naturally he needs to make preparations in advance.”

Chu Tian suddenly realized, "Your Holy Lord has a good plan, but unfortunately, he's met a traitor like you."

Mr. Wu looked embarrassed. "Mr. Chu, I am now your most loyal lackey."

loyalty?

Chu Tian sneered, "Whether you are loyal or not will be known in the future. But it's time to teach your Miao region a lesson."

After saying that, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

They exchanged a few words and then hung up.

But Mr. Wu was terrified.

"Send word that the Holy Lord of Miao territory harbors disloyal intentions. Have Shen Bai go and give him a warning."

Shen Bai, the foremost swordsman in China, a contemporary sword god.

It is said that killing a grandmaster is as easy as slaughtering a dog.

How could he possibly mobilize Shen Bai?

"Mr. Chu, who exactly are you?"

Suppressing his shock, Mr. Wu tentatively asked.

"Go to a place now, and when you get there, you'll know who I am."

Chu Tian gave an address and instructed, "From now on, you will serve tea and water there. If you have any disloyal intentions, you will bear the consequences."

Mr. Wu instantly felt extremely insulted.

Why would a master of internal energy be serving tea and water?

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.

However, before he could put up a fight, he met Chu Tian's dignified gaze.

He truly resembled an emperor, so much so that one dared not look him in the eye.

"Forget it, let it be humiliated. Saving my life is the most important thing."

Mr. Wu gritted his teeth, respectfully bid farewell to Chu Tian, ​​and quickly left.

Now, there's no going back to Miao territory.

He had no choice but to obey Chu Tian's orders; otherwise, not only would Chu Tian not let him off, but the Lan family would not let him off either.

But where did Chu Tian send him?

Could this be a den of dragons and tigers?

……

Only after Mr. Wu left did Lan Shize and the others tactfully approach.

The conversation between the two was kept secret, and Lan Shize and the others did not hear a word of it.

This is Chu Tian's private matter. Lan Shize knows his limits; some things are better left unsaid than known.

After all, the Lan family still needs to treat a Grandmaster with caution.

"Mr. Chu, we really owe you a lot for this matter. You have helped the Lan family once again."

"We are deeply grateful and will never thank you. From now on, you will be the most respected guest of the Lan family."

Lan Shize spoke sincerely, and his attitude was much more respectful than before.

"Shize is right. If it weren't for Mr. Chu, I would have died twice already."

Lan Tianmu also came over, his aged face filled with gratitude.

"I also had my own selfish reasons for saving you this time, but you don't need to take it too seriously."

Chu Tian waved his hand, completely unconcerned about the Lan family's gratitude.

"Now that the Lan family's crisis has been resolved, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Seeing this, Lan Shize hurriedly stopped Chu Tian, ​​saying, "Mr. Chu, you have helped our Lan family so much. If you just leave like this, outsiders will probably say that our Lan family is ungrateful."

"Oh? So what do you want to do?" Chu Tian looked at Lan Shize with great interest.

Lan Shize said sincerely, "Mr. Chu, I know you are no ordinary person and would not appreciate ordinary gifts."

"And you are a young man, unwilling to associate with us old men."

"How about this, let my daughter thank you properly on my behalf, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian couldn't help but glance at Lan Shize again.

As expected of the future head of the Lan family, he is quick-witted and intelligent.

Knowing that Chu Tian regarded money as dirt, he resorted to using a honey trap.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Chu Tian was very loyal in love.

"No need for thanks. Yingying and I are friends. She's probably very busy, so let's not take up her time."

Chu Tian politely declined, saying that he had been out for quite a while and needed to hurry back to be with his wife.

"Brother Chu Tian, ​​I'm not busy at all."

Lan Yingying suddenly spoke, a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

"Uh……"

Chu Tian was at a loss for words.

"Haha! Mr. Chu, it seems my daughter enjoys spending time with you quite a bit!"

"Besides, you said yourself that you're friends, so it's perfectly normal for friends to get together occasionally, right?"

Lan Shize laughed heartily and gave his daughter an approving look.

You must befriend a master.

In this way, the Lan family has an extra layer of protection.

Paying someone to help is one thing, and offering genuine assistance is another.

"Brother Chu Tian, ​​I've discovered a new Western restaurant. The steak there is delicious. Shall we go and try it?"

Lan Yingying pleaded shyly, feeling that it was a bit unreasonable, but she also wanted to repay Chu Tian.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Chu Tian had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Alright, let's go try it!"

"Great!"

Lan Yingying jumped up excitedly, grabbed Chu Tian's hand, and ran out.

Lan Shize watched the two leave, a smile appearing on his face.

"Dad, do you think that if Chu Tian becomes the son-in-law of our Lan family, will our Lan family's dominant position in the three southwestern provinces be completely secured?"

Lan Tianmu nodded with a deep look in his eyes, "That's right, now it all depends on whether Yingying has the ability."
