Chen Xuan stretched out three fingers and corrected, "Wrong, it's the third level of martial artist!"
"You? A third-level martial artist?"
Li Tiebing looked stunned.
He originally thought that Chen Xuan's strength was at most at the first level of martial artist, but he never knew that overnight, his strength actually increased by two levels!
"Is it strange? I am the chosen one by God, a genius one in a million!" Chen Xuan boasted.
Li Tiebing snorted and said, "Boy, don't be so proud. Although it is very rare for someone to reach the third level of martial artist at your age, it is not uncommon. When your father was your age, he was already at the peak of martial artist!"
The pinnacle of martial arts master naturally refers to the ninth level of martial arts master. Only one step away from entering the realm of martial arts king!
Chen Xuan knew that his father was King Martial when he died, but he didn't know what level of King Martial he was.
However, what Chen Xuan did not expect was that Li Tiebing actually knew that Chen Xuan's father had reached the peak of martial arts at the age of 20.
Or, Chen Xuan's father was too famous at that time and everyone knew him.
Or maybe Li Tiebing is very familiar with his father.
Judging from the conversation just now, it should be both.
"Boy, work hard and try to catch up with your father's footsteps."
Li Tiebing patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder, and suddenly thought of something, and said meaningfully, "Oh, by the way, your grandfather is still alive. If you have the chance, you can go and see him. As long as he still recognizes you as his grandson, your future will be much easier."
After saying that, Li Tiebing walked away with his hands behind his back.
Chen Xuan looked thoughtful.
His maternal grandfather was, naturally, his mother's biological father.
Chen Xuan's mother was the daughter of the richest man in the Tang Kingdom. For some unknown reason, she fell in love with Chen Xuan's father.
The relationship between the Tang State and Da Gan is actually not very good. Although there have been no large-scale wars between the two countries in recent years, small-scale battles still continue.
Moreover, the frictions have increased over the years, and the grievances between the two countries have become deeper and deeper. Sooner or later, there will be a war!
This is also the reason why Li Xiuning did not receive any preferential treatment after being arrested.
Back then, Chen Xuan's mother wanted to marry his father, but his father, who was the richest man in the Tang State, naturally did not agree.
A Tang person, of course, can only marry a Tang person. How can it be called marrying a person who is powerful enough to rule the dynasty? Is this reasonable?
Despite repeated objections from the richest man in the Tang State, Chen Xuan's mother still got married and brought a large dowry.
Of course, these dowries were given by Chen Xuan’s mother’s mother, that is, Chen Xuan’s grandmother.
The dowry, not counting the gold and silver, is worth a fortune just in terms of the various jewels.
Of course, Chen Xuan was ultimately unable to keep hold of the dowry, as it was all snatched away by members of the Chen clan and the dignitaries in the capital.
Even the last few shops and houses were given to the Chen family in order to save Li Xiuning and the others. It can be said that all his money was spent.
Chen Xuan didn't know why Li Tiebing suddenly mentioned that his grandfather was still alive.
In fact, it was impossible for Chen Xuan to go find this grandfather.
Firstly, his grandfather had severed ties with his mother. Secondly, Chen Xuan's soul was not from this world, so he did not attach much importance to the so-called blood relationship, and he had no feelings for his grandfather.
I guess when you meet them, they will think you are after their money.
Chen Xuan himself is not short of money, so there is no need for him to do anything that would be counterproductive.
As for my grandmother, if I have the chance I will go and see her.
After all, his mother's dowry, which was as rich as a country, was given by his grandmother.
My grandmother's money did not come from my grandfather, but was earned by herself.
Because my grandmother was the richest woman in the Tang Dynasty and had her own business.
Moreover, both my grandparents were strong-willed people and neither of them would submit to the other, so they had divorced long ago.
In fact, in Chen Xuan's memory, after his parents died, his grandmother sent someone to the Chen family, wanting to take him away and raise him personally.
However, the Chen clan disagreed. The clan leader rejected the request of Chen Xuan's grandmother on the grounds that Chen Xuan was a descendant of the Chen family.
There was nothing my grandmother could do, after all, she was a Tang citizen, not from the Dagan Dynasty.
In the end, she asked someone to send a large sum of money to the Chen clan, hoping that the Chen clan members would take good care of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan didn’t know where this huge sum of money eventually went, but it was not spent on him anyway.
"Looks like I'll have to ask Xiuning about my grandmother when I get a chance."
Chen Xuan muttered to himself.
As a woman, she became the richest woman in the Tang Dynasty. Her life was a legend.
As for his grandfather, Chen Xuan selectively ignored him.
Back in the courtyard, every woman was busy with her own affairs.
Li Xiuning suddenly came over and said, "I have something to tell you."
Chen Xuan was slightly stunned. Chen Xuan rarely took the initiative to talk to him.
The two walked to the side, and Chen Xuan asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Xiuning frowned and said, "There are more refugees and beggars in Barbarian City than we imagined!"
The people queuing up outside for porridge have formed a long queue with no end in sight.
Chen Xuan nodded: "There is no other way. All I can do now is give them some porridge every day to make sure they don't starve to death."
Li Xiuning said seriously: "Have you ever thought about who is the culprit behind all this?"
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Need I tell you? Of course it's the Liao family, the Chen family, and the Qin family."
The rice shops in the entire Barbarian City are basically monopolized by these three.
The Liao family accounted for nearly 60%, while the Qin family and the Chen family each accounted for nearly 20%!
When the Liao family raised the price of rice, the other two families followed suit. The idea was that everyone could make money together.
"These three companies are indeed the culprits, but have you ever thought that the biggest problem is not actually them three!" Li Xiuning looked at Chen Xuan seriously with her beautiful eyes.
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "In fact, the biggest black hand is the governor Zhang Tao. Without the consent of this bastard, Liao Qing and his men would not dare to raise the price of grain even if they had a hundred guts."
"And, as far as I know, in the entire Barbarian City, the one with the most food is not the Liao, Qin, and Chen families, but the governor's mansion."
"Zhang Tao has stored countless amounts of food to ensure the food and fodder for his 8,000 soldiers. He is the biggest landowner, and Liao Qing and his men are just tools to take the blame and get scolded for him."
Although Liao Qing and the others were dealt with.
But Chen Xuan saw very clearly that the biggest problem was actually Zhang Tao!
A hint of admiration appeared on Li Xiuning's face. She was a little worried that Chen Xuan could not see how deep the water behind the Barbarian City was, and had planned to remind Chen Xuan. Unexpectedly, he had a scale in his heart and saw it clearly like a mirror.
