Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 529 - 65: My Promise Still Stands

It’s actually these two!

The scene turned into an uproar after seeing Gao Yongsi and Liu Yue clearly.

There was no need to speak of Gao Yongsi, the eighth-ranked powerhouse on the Earth List, who had already been the center of attention before entering.

Everyone at the scene was shocked that the woman invited by the Zhou Family could face off against Gao Yongsi without the slightest disadvantage.

Many people looked toward the Zhou Family, only to find the expressions of the five Zhou Family members were as shocked as theirs.

"Could it be that the Zhou Family also doesn’t know the true strength of this woman?"

Hearing the words of a Dan Clan member beside him, Lin Chen had a slight smile on his lips. Before heading to Senior Zhu Cangshan’s tomb, Liu Yue had told him that aside from the Clan Leader, the other Zhou Family members did not know her true strength.

She had taken a spot for the Zhou Family not to win first place for them but because the Zhou Family owed a favor to her family’s elder, repaying it with this spot.

"Hand over the Sect Introduction Order, and I can compensate you!"

Gao Yongsi looked at Liu Yue with a stern face, and a teasing smile appeared on Liu Yue’s pretty face, "What a joke. I earned this Sect Introduction Order through trials. Why should I hand it over to you? Do you think you’ve got me pegged?"

"If you don’t hand over the Sect Introduction Order, you won’t walk out of here today."

"I’m rather curious to see how you think you can keep me from leaving."

Liu Yue raised her eyebrow coldly, meeting his challenge.

Gao Yongsi didn’t say more, but his aura began to rise ceaselessly at that moment, as his Martial Path Will burst forth without reservation, sweeping all around and finally pressing toward Liu Yue.

"What a strong aura."

"Gao Yongsi perhaps has touched the Eighth Grade."

Those at the scene felt the aura and turned pale, yet Liu Yue chuckled softly, "With just this skill, you think you can force me to succumb?"

Liu Yue stepped forward, her aura rising as well, not inferior to Gao Yongsi’s in the slightest.

"What is Liu Yue’s origin?"

"Able to match Gao Yongsi in aura without disadvantage, why isn’t her name on the Hidden Dragon List?"

With such strength, she should be on the Hidden Dragon List, impossible for the Martial Arts Garden to overlook.

"I heard that if you take the initiative to find the Martial Arts Garden, without the intention of ranking, without needing rewards from the Hidden Dragon List, the Martial Arts Garden won’t put them on the list."

"There’s such a rule, how come I didn’t know?"

"Because no genius can ignore the benefits of being listed on the Hidden Dragon List. It represents not only fame but also rich resources."

The Martial Arts Garden, in conjunction with the Nine Kingdoms, issued resource rewards for ranking on the Hidden Dragon List. The rewards are so generous that even the top Martial Arts Clans covet them, whether they care for vanity or are otherwise.

"To be honest, I could give up other things, but the Sect Introduction Order I absolutely cannot relinquish."

Gao Yongsi’s expression turned gloomy, and the next moment, his gaze swept towards the Zhuang and Xiang Families: "Zhuang Qiang, Shen Tao... act together!"

As Gao Yongsi’s words fell, two individuals each from the Zhuang and Xiang Families stepped out, and once again the crowd was shocked by this sudden change.

They could understand Zhuang Qiang stepping out; Gao Yongsi had been invited by the Zhuang Family, so it was natural for them to help him.

But Shen Tao was invited by the Xiang Family and ranked twentieth on the Earth List. Why was he listening to Gao Yongsi?

"I understand now. Shen Tao and Cao Shan weren’t actually invited by the Xiang Family. They were brought by Gao Yongsi, only taking up the Xiang Family’s slots to mislead our two families. These two families have reached an agreement."

Dan Muqing’s beautiful eyes glimmered with wisdom, but her pretty face turned dark. Given this, it seemed that the Zhuang and Xiang Families must have reached some private agreement.

"I’m not clear what kind of deal the Zhuang and Xiang Families have privately, but I’m curious as to why the Zhou Family remains indifferent."

Liu Yue was invited by the Zhou Family, yet the remaining nine of them were standing there, perfectly calm, with no intention of helping Liu Yue.

"I’m fully prepared for the Sect Introduction Order, hand over the token!"

Gao Yongsi spoke again, looking at Liu Yue, whose face darkened. If it were just Gao Yongsi, she wouldn’t be afraid, but with the addition of Zhuang Qiang and Shen Tao, it would be impossible for her to withstand the three of them together.

Liu Yue’s gaze couldn’t help falling on one figure. Seeing Liu Yue’s gaze looking over, Lin Chen sighed inwardly. He didn’t want to invite trouble, and indeed, he could renege.

But... it’s not necessary.

"Young Master Lin, is the agreement between you and me still valid?"

Hearing Liu Yue’s words and seeing her gaze fall on Lin Chen, everyone’s eyes at the scene turned to Lin Chen at that moment.

Gao Yongsi’s brow slightly furrowed when he saw Lin Chen; he had seen this person before.

This person was previously with Liu Yue, but he hadn’t given him much attention before because compared to Liu Yue’s threatening presence, this person seemed too inconspicuous.

"Valid."

Lin Chen nodded, "Apart from Gao Yongsi, if anyone else tries to attack you, I will stop them for you."

Wow!

With Lin Chen’s words, the scene erupted in an uproar.

What big talk!

"Gu... Young Master Lin?"

Dan Muqing looked at Lin Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. She was so shocked she nearly slipped with her words.

Regarding Gu Fei, Dan Muqing figured that although their interactions had been brief, she judged Gu Fei to be someone who disliked trouble, or else he would not have rejected her initial invitation.

If it weren’t for the Gu Family’s intervention, Gu Fei would likely have left Coastal County already.

A person afraid of getting involved in trouble willingly invited trouble upon himself because of Liu Yue?

Could it be that Gu Fei was enticed by Liu Yue’s beauty?

Dan Muqing subconsciously glanced at Liu Yue’s face, pursing her red lips. While her appearance was slightly lacking, she wasn’t inferior to Liu Yue in figure.

Why, in front of her, was Gu Fei completely unmoved?

Even when she offered ten more gold, he still refused, fearing that he’d take advantage and get entangled with her.

"Reckless!"

Dan Mufeng on the side sneered, "If you want to get involved, that’s your business. Don’t drag the Dan Family into this. We have nothing to do with it."

"Are you sure I have nothing to do with the Dan Family?"

Lin Chen had no intention of involving the Dan Family, but Dan Mufeng’s words made his eyes slightly narrow.

"I can confirm, and as for the demon cores you obtained from slaying the demon beast, the Dan Family doesn’t care."

In Dan Mufeng’s view, Lin Fei was dazzled by beauty. To foolishly insert himself into a battle amongst Earth List geniuses was sheer idiocy.

Lin Chen nodded, turned his gaze to Dan Muqing, seeing her pursing her lips without speaking, he understood that she didn’t want him involved in Liu Yue and Gao Yongsi’s matter.

"Apologies, the Dan Family won’t get involved."

Dan Muqing shook her head. With even the Zhou Family choosing to stand by idly, the Dan Family had no reason to stand up for Liu Yue.

"I understand."

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised by Dan Muqing’s choice. From his pocket, he pulled out a token and tossed it to Dan Muqing.

"Miss Dan, here’s my promise to you."

Dan Muqing caught the token, just about to speak when a glance at the token caught her eye. Seeing the number of green dots on it, her red lips parted slightly, and the words she wanted to say were stuck.

Without looking at Dan Muqing’s expression, Lin Chen had already turned around, smiling at Liu Yue: "Miss Liu, you can make your move now."
