The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Nowadays, even when I have revealed my power, the New School Society still poses no significant threat to us. The big shots of the Old School Society do not take the New School Society seriously. However, they cannot mobilize all their forces to crush us,” Xiao Shun remarked.

As he paused for a moment, a smile crept up on his lips. “They have been aloof for too long, becoming arrogant and indifferent. Unlike the New School Society, they prioritize profits and will definitely make a big fuss about us, leading to mutual consumption!”

Yang Tiancai couldn’t help but give his master a thumbs up. “Master, your intellect matches your skills. How did I not think of this?”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but chuckle at his disciple’s flattery.

By four in the afternoon, people started trickling into the temporary venue that had been set up. Initially, most of them were practitioners from Northleap who had been oppressed by the Old School Society for too long, eager to break away from their dominance.

Before long, Xiao Shun even noticed some local martial arts schools from Harrow entering his line of sight, which surprised him. However, as he saw more practitioners from all corners of the world, his initial shock dissipated.

At that moment, Xiao Shun walked up to Ye Xun with a curious expression. “Master Ye, has Mr. Qin not arrived yet?”

Surprised by the question, Ye Xun responded, “I was just about to ask you the same question! What’s going on?”

Puzzled, Xiao Shun inquired, “What do you mean?”

“It seems that Qin has arrived early this morning, even before most of us, which means he should have been here by now,” Ye Xun explained.

For some reason, Xiao Shun suddenly had a bad feeling. But when he remembered Qin Zhenhuan’s skills, he dismissed his concerns.

With a thought, Xiao Shun smiled, “Perhaps something delayed him.”

At that moment, Ye Xun looked worried as he said, “Today, an old friend mentioned something to me.”

Xiao Shun remained silent, watching intently.

Seeing his gaze, Ye Xun quickly got to the point. “After the Northleap practitioners enthusiastically joined the New School Society following the Hero Cup, Nie Jiuchong was furious. He even threatened to take action against some of them as a warning.”

Xiao Shun was alert, “Are you worried he might target the Northleap practitioners?”

Nodding, Ye Xun continued, “My concern is not unfounded. We have been at odds with the Old School Society recently, and now with the Northleap practitioners joining us, Nie Jiuchong is bound to seek retribution.”

Patting Ye Xun’s shoulder, Xiao Shun reassured him, “Don’t worry. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. If you’re concerned, you can temporarily move your martial arts school to Harrow. I can ensure your safety here.”

With his current influence in Harrow, Xiao Shun was not afraid of any challenges. Moreover, backed by Chief Zhao, the Old School Society would not dare to bring their full force against him. As for individual combat, he was not afraid of any member of the Old School Society.

“It is a serious matter. After this is over, I need to go back and discuss with my brothers,” Ye Xun said after a moment of contemplation, deciding to consult with his fellow seniors before making a decision.

“I personally suggest that you stay here for now. If you return to Northleap, I cannot guarantee your safety against the Old School Society’s oppression,” Xiao Shun sincerely advised.

Nodding, Ye Xun replied, “I understand the reasoning, but I hope you can understand that the Three Leaf Martial Arts School has been rooted in Northleap for a long time. It’s better to plan carefully before making such a move.”

“Alright, take your time to consider,” Xiao Shun said before walking away.

Meanwhile, Luo Qian sat nervously in his seat, fidgeting with his sleeves. Xiao Shun recalled not seeing him in the venue before his conversation with Ye Xun. Seeing Luo Qian’s troubled expression only heightened Xiao Shun’s concerns.

Approaching him, Xiao Shun asked, “Where is Senior Qin?”

Unable to contact him since this morning, Luo Qian responded, “I have been unable to reach him.”

Xiao Shun inquired further, “What about your fellow disciples? Are they also unreachable?”

“They did not travel with Senior. While he came to Harrow early, they were delayed in sorting out the martial arts school’s affairs and are on their way here now. Do you think something might have happened to Senior?” Luo Qian expressed his worries.

At that, Xiao Shun’s eyes narrowed, thoughts racing in his mind. Still, he reassured Luo Qian, “Don’t worry. With Senior Qin’s skills, nothing should have happened.”

Relieved, Luo Qian nodded. Indeed, Senior Qin Zhenhuan’s cultivation level didn’t warrant such concerns. Ordinary practitioners were no match for him, only the Old School Society’s senex and branch heads posed a threat.

Unbeknownst to them, evening had descended. The venue was now bustling with practitioners from far and wide, including many wandering cultivators. These individuals, excluded from the Old School Society, were eager to test their luck by joining an organization.

Xiao Shun welcomed them all. His intention in establishing the New School Society was different from the Old School Society’s. He did not seek power but aimed to foster the development of the martial arts world and promote the country’s martial arts heritage.

While this vision may seem lofty, it was genuinely Xiao Shun’s belief.

At precisely seven o’clock, the banquet began. Xiao Shun made his way to the platform to explain the various benefits and joining conditions of the New School Society to the guests who had traveled from afar.

As he stood in the center of the platform, the previously noisy venue fell silent.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“I announce the official establishment of the New School Society today. It will develop from a small flame on the vibrant land of Harrow into a radiant sun. This is my promise as the alliance leader!” Xiao Shun declared.

After his speech, a few sparse applauses could be heard from the Northleap practitioners. Others remained unaffected, more interested in what benefits the New School Society could offer them.

Xiao Shun was aware of their thoughts, smiling slightly. “Heh, a promising future without the corresponding strength is just an empty wish. I promise that as long as you break free from the Old School Society and join the New School Society, I can offer you better and cheaper pellets!”
