was engulfed by countless powerful divine abilities and vanished without a trace!"Fang Chen!"Zhao Shimai and Lin Xueyan's hearts sank.Everything that just happened was too fast, they didn't have time...No matter how strong one's business acumen may be, it will always remain just within the realm of business.

This world already respects strength above all else. Only when your strength is sufficient can you obtain everything you desire! Only then can you avoid being humiliated by others!

The Ninth Elder heard this and beamed with joy.

"Great! You finally came around!"

Before, they all advised Qianqian to go to the Tiāo Jié Pavilion, but Qianqian was unwilling.

A true understanding of commerce should be cultivated within the realm of business itself, not by merely joining prestigious institutions like the Tiānjiāo Ge.

Now that I understand, how could they not be delighted!

Qianqian firmly stated: “When I return to Jùbǎo Tiāngé! I will surely make Jùbǎo Tiāngé the strongest commercial force in the human realm!”

Nine Elders nodded in unison: “You can definitely do it.”

On the other side, Fang Chen had just left Jubao Tiange and was walking down the street.

He plans to find a place to stay first and then figure things out.

Before he had taken a few steps, he saw a hundred-man squad in mid-air coming towards him.

Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of passersby.

After all, the core of Bǐlù City is forbidden to fly, of course, except for the people in the Lord's Mansion.

It is very obvious that these one hundred men are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

But they usually stay in the high altitude, unless there's something else important happening they won't come down.

"Huh Why are the city guards coming down from the lord's manor"

"A hundred-man squad Such a lineup is rarely seen."

"Are you trying to apprehend a fugitive"

Probably.

"Wait! Look who that is!"

A sharp-eyed person noticed a gorgeously dressed woman in the center of the hundred people.

A beautiful woman, with a kind face and graceful bearing.

She smiled with a hint of a smile, her lips pursed. Her skin was as white as freshly peeled loquats, and a tiny black mole at the corner of her mouth added to her charm.

"Isn't this Dong Ying, the steward of the Lord Mayor's Mansion! How could she leave the mansion"

"This man is a big shot, second only to the city lord! For him to come here in person, something major must have happened!"

A gasp rippled through the crowd as the beautiful woman, Dong Ying, gracefully descended.

And for the astonishment of everyone in the Western Zhou, Dong Ying never looked at them more than once. Her gaze was fixed on one person.

And that person was Fang Chen.

Fang Chen naturally noticed this scene. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still stopped and watched quietly.

As expected, the hundred guards descended and immediately surrounded Fang Chen, driving away anyone near him. On the bustling street, they forcibly cleared a patch of space around him.

Seeing this, everyone understood that Dong Ying was here for Fang Chen and became curious about who Fang Chen was. He must be someone extraordinary to have attracted the personal attention of Dong Ying, the estate manager.

"Who is that To have the City Lord's Mansion make such a grand display"

"So young Could you be the offspring of some great figure from afar"

Just as everyone was speculating, Dong Ying had already landed in front of Fang Chen, smiling and bowing.

"Having seen Fang Tianjiao, she said."

Fang Chen knew that what he was doing in the Treasure Pavilion might be known to the City Lord's Mansion.

Knowing that he was personally chosen by the Emperor, he sent someone to come.

So he bowed and replied, "I wonder what name I should address you by."

Dǒng Yīng smiled and said, “My name is Dǒng Yīng. Fāng Tiān Jiāo can call me whatever he likes.”

Fang Chen said upon hearing this: "Since that's the case, may I call you Sister Dong I wonder if that would be alright"

Dong Ying was taken aback. This was the first time she had heard anyone address her like that.

She couldn't help but smile and say, “To be called so highly by Fang Tianjiao is a great honor for me.”

“Sister Dong, you're joking,” Fang Chen said.

Dong Ying said, "This is not a place for casual conversation. The City Lord sent me here to invite Fang Tianjiao to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest. I wonder if Fang Tianjiao is free"

Fang Chen nodded and said, "It is my honor to be invited by the City Lord. Please lead the way."

"Follow me

Tong Ying nodded with a smile, then took Fang Chen and Xia Ling towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion in the air.

A hundred guards naturally followed, protecting them in the center.

Only then did the others realize what had happened after they left.

Fang Chen and Dong Ying's conversation wasn't intentionally concealed, and they had roughly guessed everything.

"A prodigy I presume that's a prodigy chosen by the Prodigy Pavilion"

But weren't there quite a few who came before Although the city lord received them warmly, it wasn't to the point of sending Manager Dong to greet them personally, was it

"And the board members disliked others fawning over them, but they showed no aversion to that young prodigy. What was that person's background"

At this time, a man who had just come out of the Treasure Pavilion proudly said: "You don't know this, right I do!"

"You know, hurry up and say it!"

"Yeah, what's the point"

That person raised their head and said arrogantly, “Because that person is the Heaven's Pride of the Heaven's Pride Pavilion! And they were personally chosen by the Human Emperor!”

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire audience erupted in gasps of surprise.

"What! Imperial Appointment!"

"My goodness! I heard that the Heavenly Prodigy Pavilion recruited a total of 5,000 prodigies this time! And only a handful were personally chosen by the Emperor! That person was actually chosen by the Emperor!"

"No wonder the city lord values this so much!"

"Hahaha! I was just five zhang away from Fang Tianjiao!

"

I'm sure I will get Fang Tianjiao's blessing! From now on, I will soar to great heights!"

"Humph! Only five zhang, and you're so proud. I was just three zhang away from Fang Tianjiao!"

"I'm closer!"

Suddenly, all sorts of sounds filled the streets, each voice brimming with pride at being so close to Fang Chen.

Even someone got into a fight because of an argument about who was closer to Fang Chen!

This is the charm of a genius. Even a genius like An Xinglong can swagger in Penlu City, let alone Fang Chen, who was specially recruited.

Fang Chen naturally didn't know what happened after he left.

Soon, he followed Dong Ying to the City Lord's Mansion.

But the city lord's mansion was not within the city, but on a huge aerial island in the center of the city, soaring about a hundred zhang high.

Looking at the mansion, which resembled a small town, Fang Chen was already accustomed to it.

After all, he had seen too many grand sights along the way and they had become commonplace to him.

But as he just entered the city lord's mansion in the air, he saw more than ten people floating in mid-air, smiling at him.

Standing before me was an elderly woman. She stooped over, clutching a cane in her hand.

When Fang Chen sensed the other person's aura, his face changed!

"Mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm!" two swords swung towards the axe glow!Bang!The sword strike transformed into a cross! It charged straight towards the axe glow.Both divine powers collided in mid-air! A wave of energy instantly fille...
