C6 The Scariness of a Grandmaster!
Chu Tian acted to scare Qin Miaoxue and show Elder Ye his strength.
Chu Tian felt that Elder Ye doubted him. Without showing his skills, getting the Jade Marrow would be hard.
"Mr. Chu, please calm down. My granddaughter was wrong. Please ignore her," said Elder Ye.
Elder Ye then told Qin Miaoxue, "Say sorry to Mr. Chu now."
Qin Miaoxue was scared and did not dare to say no to Elder Ye.
"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"It won't happen again!"
Chu Tian looked calm the whole time.
It seemed like nothing could bother him.
Elder Ye saw that Chu Tian was calmer than he could ever achieve.
Elder Ye was shocked. He thought, 'Chu Tian is not a regular guy.'
But Elder Ye did not know that Chu Tian used to be a big leader in his past life.
Chu Tian was always calm, even in scary places like the Netherworld.
After Chu Tian showed his real skills, the Ye Family treated him with more respect.
Elder Ye, who liked martial arts, wanted to be friends with Chu Tian.
Soon, a servant brought in a plate covered with silk. Chu Tian felt strong energy from under the silk.
This must be the Jade Marrow!
When the silk was lifted, a big Jade Marrow was there. Its strong energy even surprised Chu Tian.
This Jade Marrow was much better than the last one.
Chu Tian was excited. He asked Elder Ye, "How much for this jade? I want to buy it."
"Mr. Chu, we would like to give you this jade as a thank you for helping Tianxin and as an apology from Miaoxue. What do you say?"
"I don't like taking gifts for free, but I'm short on cash. Let's say I owe you one. If you need help later, I'll be there," Chu Tian said.
This promise was valuable. Many people would want a favor from Chu Tian, especially in his previous life. The Ye Family was lucky to get such a promise for just a piece of jade.
Miaoxue, standing by, felt that Chu Tian was just making empty promises. She thought he was taking the jade without really offering anything. But she didn't say it out loud, fearing he might get angry.
"Mr. Chu, you're too kind."
Elder Ye politely said, accepting Chu Tian's offer.
Elder Ye could tell Chu Tian was very strong, stronger than most. His promise was worth a lot.
Elder Ye had a good eye for these things, being experienced in martial arts.
After getting the jade, Chu Tian didn't stay long. Before leaving, he told the Ye Family, "If you find more jade like this, let me know. We can trade. It'll be fair."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. If we find more jade, Tianxin will tell you," Elder Ye said.
"Thanks," Chu Tian said, and left.
Ye Tianxin stood up and saw him off.
Only Elder Ye, Miaoxue, and Ashan were left. Elder Ye watched as Chu Tian left.
Miaoxue then said, "Grandpa, why are you treating him like he's special? We're the important ones here!"
"You're wrong, Miaoxue. He's no ordinary person. He's stronger than me, close to being a Grandmaster. We should be friends with him, not enemies," Elder Ye said, seriously.
"What? Stronger than you? How?" Miaoxue was surprised, then said, "So what? We're powerful here. If he's not grateful, we can get rid of him!"
"If he becomes a Grandmaster, bullets won't stop him," Elder Ye warned.
"Are Grandmasters really that strong? Can they stop bullets?" Miaoxue asked.
"The strength of a Grandmaster is unimaginable! I've seen a Grandmaster survive a grenade explosion unscathed. So, what's a bullet in comparison? The Lin Family in the southwest had a Grandmaster protecting them, and overnight, they became the top family in the region. You can't measure a Grandmaster's abilities or influence using ordinary logic!"
"A single Grandmaster can turn a modest family into a super-rich one. Just one Grandmaster can also destroy a big family in a single night."
"In our eyes, a Grandmaster is almost like a god."
Elder Ye's words shocked Qin Miaoxue. She didn't know martial arts, so she didn't understand how scary a Grandmaster could be.
After hearing what Elder Ye said, Qin Miaoxue started sweating. Did she just offend someone that powerful?
Thinking about it made Qin Miaoxue more afraid.
She also decided that she shouldn't anger Chu Tian if she sees him again.
Actually, she hopes there won't be a next time.
Qin Miaoxue hopes not to meet such a frightening person ever again.
