Opposite him, an elderly man with completely white hair and beard was leisurely drinking tea, looking very old and frail.
After drinking two cups of tea, he finally looked up at his grandson and said in a loud and clear voice, "Kai'er, I heard you've recently taken a fancy to a girl? Which family does she belong to? When are you going to bring her to Grandpa to see?"
"No, no, Grandpa, don't listen to their nonsense." Zhao Kai quickly waved his hand and laughed awkwardly, "I was just playing around with them, I never thought about making them my wife!"
"No? You're not getting any younger. You should still look for someone. Stop thinking about playing around all the time." The old man stroked his beard and said earnestly.
"Don't worry, Grandpa!" Zhao Kai nodded again.
The old man nodded in satisfaction this time, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Your grandfather was really lucky... His lifespan was almost over, but unexpectedly, by chance, he received guidance from a master who solved the doubts that had troubled me for decades. Now, he has accumulated a lot of strength and has successfully broken through to the first level of Foundation Establishment!"
"And your great-grandfather, he's currently in seclusion, striving to break through to the Golden Core stage. Once he does, our Zhao family will be able to return to its former glory... So, kid, don't cause us any trouble lately! There are many capable people in the Dragon Kingdom, especially the other two families. Don't mess with them, otherwise, even if you're my most prized grandson, I can't protect you!"
This was the first time the old man had come out of seclusion. He had been busy with cultivation, and his mind was restricted by the lack of information. In addition, the Zhao family had been in seclusion for decades, so he had no idea that there was a person named He Qinzhou in Yangcheng.
In his eyes, apart from the reclusive and powerful families in Kyoto, the only people who could rival the Zhao family were the Liu and Huang families, who were also the three hegemons of Lingnan.
As everyone knows...
"Yes, Grandpa, I know!"
Zhao Kai didn't bother to explain anything; he just nodded at whatever his grandfather said.
"How's your cultivation progress lately? Is it going smoothly? What realm have you reached?"
The old man took another sip of tea, and his eyes suddenly began to light up as he scanned his grandson's body.
This is a secret eye technique passed down through the Zhao family, capable of detecting the essence of what is being observed!
With a quick glance, he immediately grasped his grandson's strength!
Qi Refining Level 7!
"Not bad."
Before his grandson could speak, the old man burst into laughter.
My grandson's talent is even better than mine was when I was young!
He's reached the seventh level of Qi Refining at such a young age, no wonder he's my grandson!
Zhao Kai rubbed his head shyly.
Being praised by his grandfather was more satisfying than sleeping with ten women!
"Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind." The old man reminded him with the tone of someone who had been through it all. "Kai'er, although you've progressed quickly, never be complacent. Remember, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding, like your sister..."
"I know, I know, Grandpa, don't worry!" Zhao Kai quickly interrupted his grandfather when he heard him about to launch into another long-winded explanation about his sister.
“Well, since that’s the case, then I won’t bother you any longer. It’s a rare opportunity to come out, so I must take a good look at this beautiful world…” the old man said as he stood up.
Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the old man to the door, saying, "Alright, Grandpa, take care!"
"Hmm! Hmm?" The door opened, and a young man and a young woman appeared in front of the grandfather and grandson.
The old man subconsciously activated his pupil technique, but when he scanned the young man's body, he found nothing unusual. The young man looked just like an ordinary person, except that his bones were a bit strong.
As for that young and beautiful girl...
The old man exclaimed in surprise, not expecting her to be a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator.
"Lin Wan'er?" Zhao Kai followed behind, a step behind his grandfather, and saw the two people standing outside the door.
His gaze swept past He Qinzhou and fixed intently on Lin Wan'er's pretty face, who was standing at the very back.
"Oh dear, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me you were coming so I could have picked you up!"
Zhao Kai walked past his grandfather and stood in front of Lin Wan'er, preparing to reach out and pinch Lin Wan'er's expressionless, delicate face.
But he only extended his hand halfway before subconsciously pulling it back.
Just now, he sensed a strong sense of danger.
It seemed as if if he stretched his hand out just one more inch, he would lose his arm forever...
This sense of crisis came out of nowhere, but it made him truly afraid to act rashly again.
"Wan'er, hehe..." Zhao Kai withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly.
A sharp glint flashed in the old man's eyes.
If the grandson felt a sense of crisis, what he just felt was the oppressive feeling of death!
There's a master around here!!!
His gaze swept directly past the two young men in front of him and looked towards the company employees coming and going in the distance.
He didn't take this young man seriously at all. What could they do even if they were strong?
Could he possibly be stronger than a Foundation Establishment Stage 1 cultivator like him?
Zhao Kai is already a super genius who is rare in a thousand years, but now he has entered the seventh level of Qi Refining and is nearly forty years old. These two young men look to be only in their twenties. How strong can they be?
Moreover, he had unparalleled confidence and pride in his family's secret pupil technique!
The real expert is someone else entirely!
"Kai'er, is this the girl you were talking about?"
The old man relaxed slightly, his old eyes becoming cloudy again as he scrutinized Lin Wan'er's body and face. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, you have good taste, lad. It's a pity she's not a virgin anymore. I wonder which brat got her..."
He Qinzhou's face darkened.
"You old geezer, I advise you to take back what you just said."
Hearing the young man speak, the old man raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I won't accept it, what can you do to me?"
"Take it back. I can have a proper talk with you all." He Qinzhou said expressionlessly, reaching out to put his arm around Lin Wan'er's slender waist in front of Zhao Kai and the old man.
“The Zhao family is a formidable force, but if you continue to be so ungrateful, then… I will have no choice but to wipe you all out.”
He Qinzhou's tone was cold and threatening to the two of them.
Chapter 130: Negotiating Business
"Wow!" The old man was stunned when he heard He Qinzhou say that.
Are all young people this arrogant these days?
Zhao Kai's eyes turned cold as he looked at the woman he had been longing for, who was now being embraced by another man.
However, Zhao Kai entered the mortal world earlier than his grandfather, so he naturally knew more than him.
He had heard that Lin Wan'er had a man named He Qinzhou.
However, he thought He Qinzhou was definitely a good-for-nothing, so he didn't take him seriously.
It was precisely because of this that when Zhao Kai saw Lin Wan'er's stunningly beautiful face and flawless figure, he naturally and selectively forgot about the man named He Qinzhou.
However, upon hearing the man's outrageous words and considering his openly intimate relationship with Lin Wan'er, Zhao Kai immediately guessed the man's identity and frowned, asking in a deep voice, "You...you are He Qinzhou?"
"Since you know me, then we can talk." He Qinzhou sneered, reached out and parted the grandfather and granddaughter blocking his way, then calmly walked into the office with Lin Wan'er in his arms.
He glanced around the office, then walked straight to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, and said, "I heard you have designs on my woman? You've offended me like this; have you thought about how you're going to make it up to me?"
"Compensation?" Zhao Kai was taken aback.
The old man couldn't take it anymore. He strode up to He Qinzhou and said menacingly, "You brat, you dare threaten my grandson? You dare threaten the Zhao family? You don't want to live anymore? Do you know who we are?"
"Old man, it seems you've already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, right? Dying at this point would be a huge loss for your Zhao family. I advise you to think before you speak, otherwise dying here will be a pointless death."
He Qinzhou's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he shook his head and sneered, "By the way, do you know who I am?"
He Qinzhou's words clearly stunned the old man.
Why does this young man seem more confident than I am?!
I am a member of the Zhao family!
The Zhao family! The Zhao family, one of the three tyrants of Lingnan!
"I don't care who you are," the old man said angrily, his brows furrowed.
Although I'm not sure about the identity of the young man in front of me, as the saying goes, even if you lose the game, you can't lose face!
Moreover, he didn't think the Zhao family would lose in any way!
"Even if the Liu and Huang families came in person, he wouldn't dare threaten the Zhao family! You really have a lot of nerve!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped He Qinzhou across the face.
"Die to me!!"
"Hmph!" He Qinzhou snorted coldly, without even moving his body, and took the slap head-on with his own face.
With the spiritual power of He Qinzhou, who was at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, even the most fragile skin became as hard as iron at this moment!
"Ah..." The old man was jolted back two steps by the force of the impact. Before he could regain his balance, he instinctively squatted down, clutching his right hand with his left, his face contorted in pain...
The effects of forces are reciprocal!
The old man couldn't break through the defense; instead, he fractured all the bones in his hand.
This was all without any counterattack from Heqin Prefecture.
If they retaliate, the opponent will be seriously injured, if not dead!
This is the huge difference between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage!
"You...you...you..." The old man retreated in terror, realizing that he had misjudged the situation and accidentally kicked a real iron plate!
At the same time, he was also relieved that he hadn't used his spiritual power.
Fortunately, the young man didn't seem to want to pursue the matter.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!
He Qinzhou's power has exceeded the old man's imagination!
Many of the people of the same generation as the old man were not even as skilled as him, and they should be considered the most senior members of the generation!
Even before the fight started, they were already at a disadvantage! It was a complete rout!
In fact, the old man had simply been detached from worldly affairs for too long and was unaware that there were now many more cultivators and martial artists in the outside world.
Although they aren't everywhere, there are far more of them than before the Zhao family went into seclusion.
Moreover, before the Zhao family went into seclusion, there were very few people with cultivation. Most of them were just ordinary people. The Qi Refining stage was enough to deal with them, not to mention that Zhao Kai's grandfather had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
But times have changed. More and more cultivators and martial artists have appeared in this world. Let alone the first level of Foundation Establishment, even He Qinzhou's sixth level of Golden Core is not enough in the eyes of some old monsters who do not care about the world or the Dragon Alliance.
Moreover, with the old man's cultivation at the first level of Foundation Establishment, he was not qualified to touch those truly powerful figures. Over time, he naturally came to believe that he was a master.
The old man's eyes widened like copper bells, completely unable to comprehend it.
I feel like I've wasted the last 120 years of my life...
Zhao Kai was also terrified.
Only one's own grandfather knows.
This is a super strong expert at the first level of Foundation Establishment!
How could the woman I've set my sights on have such a powerful man behind her?
Most importantly, according to the information he gathered, He Qinzhou was at most the president of Minghao Group and the eldest son of the He family in Kyoto!
This is Yangcheng. Even if he has a powerful background, he should still be wary of me.
Who knew he had such powerful cultivation?
They're not even in the same league as his grandfather, let alone himself!
“He Qinzhou, you…” Zhao Kai’s eyes were full of complicated emotions.
He glanced at Lin Wan'er, who stood obediently behind He Qinzhou, with a hint of reluctance, and saw a trace of contempt and smugness in her eyes.
Threatening the Lin family?
Who gave them the guts!
"Answer my question." He Qinzhou tapped the coffee table in front of him with his finger and asked calmly, "Now, do you know who I am?"
"You... are He Qinzhou!" The old man gasped, his face as black as a pig's liver.
It’s so frustrating! It’s so frustrating!
"You only know me as He Qinzhou, but do you know my other identities?" He Qinzhou smiled knowingly. "Could it be that your prestigious, reclusive Zhao family is so poorly informed? You don't even know my true background. How dare you provoke me?"
