“You, you actually have the strength of Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Level!” Zhou Yunxi's eyes widened, and she stomped her foot angrily: “You're too bad, why didn't you tell me your strength from the beginning?”

“Did I have a chance?” Yang Chen's smile was bitter: “Miss Yunxi, you insisted on comparing with me, and I couldn't refuse. Are you satisfied now?”

Zhou Yunxi pouted, her eyes filled with curiosity and various emotions, and then said, “Fine, I'll admit defeat and won't bother you while you cultivate unless it's necessary!”

“Thank you for your understanding, Miss Yunxi.” Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yunxi said irritably, “But there is something important that I need to tell you.”

“Oh? Please go ahead, Miss Zhou.” Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Yunxi smiled: “My father told me to invite you to see him tomorrow

morning. He has something important to discuss with you and hopes you can be on time.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen fell into deep thought. Master Zhou wants to see him?

Early the next morning, Yang Chen got up early and went directly to the front hall of the Zhou family.

When he arrived, both Zhou Haoran and Elder Zhou Yuan were there. Seeing Yang Chen's arrival, they all looked at each other and then hurriedly got up to greet him: “Yang Chen, my friend, you're here! Please, take a seat!”

Yang Chen was confused, but he sat down anyway.

He had heard from Zhou Yunxi the previous night that Zhou Haoran wanted to see him, so he had hurried over early in the morning. He didn't know why the people of the Zhou family wanted to see him and what it was all about.

Feeling puzzled, Yang Chen didn't beat around the bush and asked, “May I know why Master Zhou summoned me here so early?”

“It's actually about something important. May I ask if you have the City Lord's Command?” Zhou Haoran tentatively asked.

“Of course I do,” Yang Chen replied calmly.

Yang Chen naturally had it as the City Lord's Command was involved in whether he could participate in the Genius Selection Competition.

It was the token that Jin Cheng had given him a few days ago – the City Lord's

Command.

In fact, the only requirement for the Selection Competition was the City Lord's Command. Its purpose was to represent which city the participant was from and which city would be represented in the competition. His City Lord's Command was for Liaocheng!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Haoran's eyebrows raised, and he sighed in relief, “That's good…”

“Master Zhou, what is this about?” Yang Chen couldn't help but ask.

“To be honest, the situation is as follows. Right now, I am worried about the

City Lord's Command for my daughter. If she doesn't have the City Lord's Command, it would be quite troublesome for her to participate in the Selection Competition,” Zhou Haoran said with a bitter smile.

“Is it difficult to get a City Lord's Command?” Yang Chen asked with a laugh.

In many cities, before the Selection Competition starts, the City Lord's

Mansion would widely distribute the City Lord's Command to let the talents in their city represent them and bring them glory. This was considered an honor, and once a talent made a name for themselves in the Selection Competition, the Beishan Main City would also pay extra attention to their city.

No one would worry about not having a City Lord's Command.

As long as you are talented, the City Lord's Mansion would love to give you the Command. You couldn't refuse even if you wanted to.

Zhou Haoran smiled bitterly, “You may not be aware, Yang Chen, my friend, that the City Lord's Command is indeed easy to get for others. But it's different for our Zhou family. We have a longstanding feud with the MO City City Lord Mansion. They would spare no effort to make things difficult for our family!”

“Oh? So you mean that the City Lord's Mansion is deliberately withholding the City Lord's Command from your Zhou family?” Yang Chen said.

“Exactly.” Zhou Haoran sighed, “Actually, it would be easy for us to get our hands on a City Lord's Command. Anyway, the MO City City Lord Mansion will issue the Commands widely sooner or later. We can easily get one from someone else at that time.”

“Then why is Master Zhou doing this?” Yang Chen didn't understand, but he felt that there was more to the story behind Zhou Haoran's visit today.

Zhou Haoran shook his head, “A few days ago, my daughter had an accident during her cultivation and fell into a coma. The MO City City Lord Mansion heard the news and invited our Zhou family to be guests at their Mansion, saying they wanted to let their talented subordinates compete with my daughter. This is clearly a provocation! My daughter then fell into a coma, and they want to compete now. What can we compete with?”

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh. The way the MO City City Lord Mansion acted was indeed cunning and treacherous.

With such a petty style, it was no wonder the Zhou family could suppress the City Lord Mansion in MO City.

How could someone without vision achieve greatness?

“Now, my dilemma is also this. Although Yunxi has woken up, she is not completely recovered. Moreover, I've heard that the MO City City Lord Mansion has invited an Inner Sect Genius from Taotu Sect to oversee the competition. My daughter wouldn't stand a chance against this person even if she were fully recovered!” Zhou Haoran was extremely troubled.

Yang Chen stroked his chin with interest and said, “What does this have to do with me, Master Zhou?”

Zhou Haoran smiled awkwardly, “The situation is like this. If we don't go to the City Lord Mansion today, our Zhou family will lose face. If we go and my daughter loses, losing the City Lord's Command is a small matter, but losing our reputation is a big one. It's clear that the MO City City Lord Mansion wants to take this opportunity to suppress our Zhou family.”

“So, Master Zhou wants me to help?” Yang Chen could see what Zhou Haoran was getting at.

Zhou Haoran's face turned red, and he sighed, “I hope Yang Chen, my friend, can help us.”

“In theory, I have no reason to help you. However, since I have a cooperation with your Zhou family, helping you one more time wouldn't hurt. But, without knowing the situation of the opponents, I can't guarantee that I'll win!” Yang Chen stood up with his hands behind his back: “Besides, this time's help and the previous treatment of Miss Yunxi are separate matters!”

Yang Chen was helpless.

How did he get involved with the Taotu Sect and the Ming Emperor Sect?

Seeing Yang Chen accept the request, Zhou Haoran and the surrounding elders couldn't help but feel relieved.

They knew that Yang Chen had easily defeated Zhou Yunxi and possessed the terrifying strength of the Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Level.

If Yang Chen agreed to help, the Zhou family should have no problem maintaining their dignity this time.

As for the reward, Zhou Haoran steeled himself: “Young friend Yang Chen, as long as you're willing, you can ask for any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Spirit Stones, and I, as a senior, will not hesitate!”
