many years!And now, if we don't investigate deeply, we won't be able to uncover the backgrounds of those clans and families that have spanned thousands of years!"And that Zixiao Mansion was one of the...Chen Ping smiled faintly. This kind of thing, the three major families definitely wouldn't make a fuss about it to avoid attracting more people to scramble for it.

Chen Ping now somewhat understands why so many master experts suddenly appeared in the mountain city. It must be related to the three major families recruiting troops and buying horses.

To know that when a martial artist reaches the grandmaster level, every step forward is very difficult. Unless they have a family business to support them, they can spend a lot of money buying herbs and other things to help them practice, otherwise it will be very difficult to break through!

Therefore, many martial artists have no choice but to rely on guarding homes and estates for others to earn money and practice their skills. As their strength increases, they earn more money. Meanwhile, some large business families will pay high-level experts to protect the safety of their family members or assets, thus forming a mutually beneficial relationship where each party gets what they need!

Now that these masters have all come to the mountain city, it seems the three clans' offer must be particularly alluring!

Just as Chen Ping and they were eating, a sudden commotion broke out. The two of them looked up and saw a girl in a cheongsam, wearing large sunglasses that covered most of her face, only her pointed chin and cherry-like lips were visible.

Behind the girl followed four men in suits, each with a serious expression. As soon as they entered, they looked around nervously, like they were expecting trouble!

"Holy crap, could this be the big star Song Tie" Wu Dong's eyes widened instantly, and his saliva almost came out!

Chen Ping looked at the girl, his expression also dazed for a moment. The girl's body proportions were too good, especially in a cheongsam, which perfectly displayed her slender waist. A pair of snow-white feet wearing high heels, it was as if she had walked out of a painting, but the name was a bit unconvincing!

"Waiter, get us a private room!" the girl's bodyguard said.

"Sorry, the rooms are all full now, only the hall is left!" The waiter said helplessly.

"Come up with a solution..." The bodyguard's face turned cold, and he glared fiercely at the waiter!

The waiter, terrified, stammered, "R-really, there's none left..."

"Alright, let's do it in the hall!" The girl said, then found a spot to sit down!

"Miss, Master ordered me not to let you..."

"Shut up, I'll go back after I finish eating!" The girl seemed a bit impatient. The bodyguard didn't dare to speak again!

Soon, the girl's meal was served. Ignoring the scorching stares from those around her, she began to eat ravenously, clearly savoring every bite!

The four bodyguards behind her surrounded the girl, each reaching into their pockets, clearly hiding weapons!

"It seems that the Song family is quite powerful!" Chen Ping muttered to himself.

These bodyguards all have guns hidden on them. You have to understand, this is an illegal item. In this country, you can practice martial arts freely, and no one bothers you. But when you possess firearms, the situation changes drastically. And let me tell you, getting your hands on a gun these days is harder than climbing to heaven!

However, firearms like pistols are effective against ordinary martial artists. If you encounter a master-level expert, the pistol becomes useless. If you face someone like Chen Ping, the pistol would be no different from scrap metal!

“The head of the Song family, Song Zude, was once a famous entertainment company tycoon. His company had countless star artists and an unimaginable amount of wealth. However, later on, because one of his artists committed crimes and was investigated, the company was implicated as well. Coincidentally, during that period, Hengshan stone was booming in popularity. Song Zude returned to his hometown and opened a mine. But now, his daughter is a big star with enormous fame!”

Wu Dong explained!

Chen Ping ate while keeping an eye on Song Tie. However, Song Tie seemed oblivious to everyone around him, only focusing on his own meal and not caring about anyone's gaze. It looked like he was used to being under the spotlight every day.Anguo, have no such merits to absorb the entire city's fortune.""All those rumors spread about me, they're all false. I merely use my identity to absorb some of the people's faith power!"As the lord o...
