The Xue family is quite powerful and is one of the most powerful families in the imperial capital.
Xue Yu, the eldest daughter of this generation, is only 23 years old this year, one year younger than Xu Wanqing.
Moreover, he had been "hidden" by his family since he was young, and devoted himself to practicing ancient martial arts. He had no idea about the struggle for fame and fortune among the noble families.
If we insist that there is a point, it is nothing more than improving one's own strength and helping the Xue family to secure its position as the number one family in the imperial capital, or even the number one family in the north.
Let me be more specific.
That is, to break through to the Grandmaster level before the age of thirty, and then with the help of the family's heritage, strive to reach the peak of the Grandmaster level before the age of fifty, and look for opportunities to impact the Grandmaster level!
so……
If the Xue family wants to maintain its title as the number one family in the imperial capital, Xue Yu still has at least thirty years to go.
But the Xue family is already strong enough!
Xue Yu had never thought of relying on the help of others, not to mention that this person happened to be the direct disciple of the old patriarch of the Sun family...
And, just like that day on the top of Mount Huashan.
Xu Wanqing's public breaking off of the engagement is a lesson for us! Xu Wanqing was clearly already engaged, but she held a martial arts competition to find a husband.
The same is true for her fiancé. Ever since Uncle Zhao disappeared, she has not seen him in all these years, not to mention never having heard of his name.
even……
If Uncle Zhao is no longer alive, it would be unclear whether this marriage would take place!
Originally, the Xue family had planned that if Xue Yu's fiancé had not appeared before Xue Yu turned 25, they would start looking for a husband for Xue Yu.
Xue Dong has done his best for his old friend Zhao Lianghan, but he can't continue to gamble with his daughter's future, right?
The situations of the two seemed to be similar, so Xue Yu also understood why the Xu family was like this.
After all, in such a small circle as the Hidden World Family, 25 years old is already considered a leftover woman...
It was precisely this kind of thing that happened that made Xue Yu feel a little awkward.
In addition, he was defeated in the ring again, and now his family assigned him this kind of task, which made Xue Yu very confused.
Once a warrior's mind is in chaos, it means he cannot devote himself wholeheartedly to martial arts!
It is even more impossible to empty your mind to comprehend the ancient martial arts as described by the grandmaster.
After returning from Mount Hua last night, Xue Yu knew that he had no chance to be promoted to Grandmaster this time.
According to the arrangement of the family, I will go and fight with Jiang Bei again, hoping to learn something from this fight and then break through to the Grandmaster level.
I also took the opportunity to go out and relax and see what this bustling city is like.
Planes take off and land.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Yu had already arrived in Shanghai.
The car that picked up Xue Yu at the airport was a Rolls-Royce. A man named Xue Zimo, the second generation of the Xue family, came specially to pick up Xue Yu.
Xue Zimo is one of the many collateral descendants of the Xue family, belonging to the branch of Xue Yu's great-grandfather's generation.
He manages the Xue family's businesses in Shanghai.
Although Xue Zimo has only been in Shanghai for more than 20 years, with the existence of a behemoth like the Xue family, even the Xue family in public is still doing very well.
Even the Xue family in Shanghai is a second-tier family!
And he became a member of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce as early as last year!
"Miss."
When Xue Zimo saw Xue Yu coming out, he hurried forward and said respectfully.
"Uncle Zimo." Xue Yu responded with a forced smile, and then sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.
"Didn't the master just come back from Huashan? Why is he so anxious to have you come to Shanghai?" Xue Zimo asked with a smile.
To put it nicely, Xue Zimo is a member of the Xue family, but to be honest... he is just an employee of the Xue family.
Know clearly what to ask, what not to ask, and how deeply to ask a question.
"Just some small things." Xue Yu smiled.
Xue Zimo responded and changed the subject: "Brother Dong said that you don't like staying in hotels, and I'm afraid you'll find it inconvenient if you stay at my house. It just so happens that I have a small villa over at Yujing Mansion that I've never moved into."
"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Zimo." Xue Yu responded.
"We're a family, nothing's too much trouble."
"By the way, Uncle Zimo, do you have any dealings with the Yun family?" Xue Yu suddenly asked.
"The Yun family?"
Xue Zimo's voice was stern, but he shook his head and said, "No contact... The Yun family is a newly emerged first-tier family in Shanghai. Recently, they have overthrown the old Li family and have established a relationship with the Bai family. They are the most popular family at the moment."
Then Xue Zimo's eyes lit up and he said, "Miss, you can try to ask Brother Dong to start from the imperial capital. Madam Yun is from the Chen family in the imperial capital."
"I see..." Xue Yu nodded.
She didn't know much about the open business in the imperial capital.
But it shouldn't be difficult to ask my father to speak to the Chen family and let Mrs. Yun find out some information about the great doctor Lu.
Although it's a bit convoluted, I don't think it's a big deal.
Even if she couldn't gain anything in Shanghai, she still wanted to visit the aristocratic families in the Jiangnan region. Otherwise, with her current state of mind and without going through a battle, it would be almost impossible for her to break through to the Grandmaster level within the family.
Not long.
The Rolls-Royce was parked at Yujing Mansion, Xue Zimo's newly purchased residence. ..
The servants have already been arranged, Xue Yu can just move in with his luggage!
As for Xue Zimo's words, she has also conveyed them to her family.
…
Inside the Chen family mansion.
Chen Wenxuan was practicing calligraphy in the study when his cell phone rang.
I put down the brush, picked up my phone and took a look. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
Logically speaking, this number is used for his daily life, and generally no one would know it...
After thinking about it, he still answered the call.
"Mr. Chen, I'm Xue Dong. I've heard a lot about you."
The voice on the phone was that of a middle-aged man.
Chen Wenxuan realized something from this simple sentence, because the other party said "I am Xue Dong" instead of "My name is Xue Dong".
But who is this Xue Dong?
The next moment, Chen Wenxuan's scalp felt numb.
Among the four major families in the imperial capital, there is no one with the surname Xue!
If not, then it must be a hidden family!
Coincidentally, among these hidden families there is a Xue family, which appears to be equally powerful, but no one knows what is behind it, and it has never been known as a first-tier family or a second-tier family.
To be able to achieve such strength in the imperial capital, Chen Wenxuan is not without this basic common sense.
Although the Xue family is not as powerful as the Sun family, it is not much different!
Why did this person from the Xue family take the initiative to find him?
"Mr. Xue." Chen Wenxuan responded immediately and waited for the next words.
But to his surprise, Xue Dong was very polite!
But Chen Wenxuan already had a bad guess in his heart. It was possible that some third-generation descendant of the Xue family had taken a fancy to his daughter Chen Ningshuang.
But after Xue Dong explained his purpose, Chen Wenxuan was even more confused.
The Xue family wants to ask about Lu Ye’s whereabouts?
And what about Lu Ye’s personal disciples?
If it was the Xue family who wanted to inquire about Lu Ye, it would be understandable, as birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature. Maybe there was someone seriously ill in the Xue family, and they wanted to find Lu Ye to save him?
This is normal.
But Chen Wenxuan did not hear any urgency from Xue Dong's words...
Xue Dong's tone was a little anxious, but it was obviously not towards Lu Ye, but towards Lu Ye's disciples!
Chen Wenxuan and Chen Li are siblings, and their daughters, Chen Ningshuang and Yunshuang, both have the same fiancé - Jiang Bei!
The two of them had known each other for a long time, and they also knew that in addition to Sun Ao Shi, Jiang Bei was also a disciple of a miracle doctor named Lu Ye. Jiang Bei's medical skills were very advanced!
So, what do these people from the Xue family want to do with Jiang Bei right now?
And the call from the Xue family was very strange!
But it was obvious that he had found out something, but because he had no way to contact the Yun family, he called me, wanting me to ask Chen Li for clues!
In other words, the Xue family's background is more oppressive in the imperial capital!
Chen Wenxuan thought for less than a second and gave his answer: "Mr. Xue, I don't know much about what's going on in Shanghai. I'll go ask my sister now. She happened to be married in Shanghai. I'll call you back later."
