"Heavens!"
"He actually defeated the Vajra? Is this for real?"
"He looks no older than his twenties, yet how could he defeat a powerhouse like the Vajra?"
Those Heavenly Axis realm powerhouses were completely flustered.
After all.
The martial world's cultivation tiers were defined by age.
While not entirely accurate.
The difference wouldn't be too significant.
But they just couldn't understand.
Chen Nan was so young.
Why was he able to defeat the Vajra???
The Vajra, clutching his chest, rose to his feet, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Chen Nan. Then, to everyone's astonishment, he bowed deeply: "Thank you, senior, for healing my old ailment."
Hiss!
Everyone involuntarily gasped.
Chen Nan had struck the Vajra with his palm just now, and not only did he not injure him, but he actually healed his old ailment?
Holy cow!
This was too incredible to fathom!
Chen Nan said calmly, "Your strength should not be constrained by that old ailment."
With his capabilities, he could discern the Vajra's condition completely.
If not for being held back by his old ailment.
He would have long since broken through to the Grandmaster realm.
The Vajra said solemnly, "As agreed, I will follow you, senior."
"However, this junior needs to return to Mo City to bid farewell to my master."
"Please give me an address, and I will come to join you in three days."
His life was saved by Guo Mo.
Now that he was to follow Chen Nan.
He naturally had to go to Mo City to say goodbye to his master.
"I'll give you my contact information." Chen Nan seemed a bit embarrassed. Having lived in the capital for ten years, he didn't even have a place to call his own, which was quite taxing on the kidneys...
After exchanging contact information.
The Vajra got into a black sedan and soon disappeared from the Wu family's entrance.
As for those Heavenly Axis realm powerhouses, they all stepped forward to greet him, trying to make an impression.
Because his display of defeating the Vajra had already signaled.
That the current era of the Eight Grandmasters dominating the martial world was about to be rewritten.
The era of the Eight Grandmasters had become a thing of the past.
New talents had emerged in the martial world.
In terms of strength.
They were absolutely no weaker than Chen Nan.
Chen Nan ignored those people and turned to Wu Tianquan, saying politely, "Elder Wu, can we now discuss that ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood?"
Wu Tianquan snapped out of his shock and looked at the five victors, saying with a chuckle, "Gentlemen, my grandson-in-law wants that ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood. I presume you all have no objections?"
What the hell!
Do you have no shame?
When did I become your grandson-in-law?
Chen Nan almost cursed out loud.
This old fellow changed his tune incredibly fast.
Making it impossible to guard against.
He then looked at Wu Qianru, whose face was flushed crimson, looking delicate and charming.
Wu Dazhi, beaming with pride, said, "How about my son-in-law has a spar with you all? The winner gets the ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood?"
"There's absolutely no need!" an elder said quickly, "Since young friend Chen needs the ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, let him have it."
"Yes, yes, such a treasure, only young friend Chen is worthy of possessing it."
Chen Nan's strength had already conquered everyone.
Although they didn't know how strong Chen Nan truly was.
One thing was obvious.
He had likely reached the realm of the Eight Grandmasters.
Such a person was definitely someone they looked up to.
But at this moment.
An unfriendly voice rang out: "No!"
"We cannot give that ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood to young friend Chen."
"After all, Elder Wu promised us."
"This ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood should have gone to one of the honored guests."
"Young friend Chen is not an honored guest of the Wu family."
"If we give it to him, wouldn't that be going back on our word?"
"Wouldn't that be breaking trust?"
Wu Tianquan slapped his forehead, "Heh, look at my memory, I actually forgot about this. What do you suggest we do then?"
"I can't go back on my word just because Chen Nan is my grandson-in-law!"
"But my grandson-in-law also fancies the ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, so I can't refuse him..."
Everyone rolled their eyes at Wu Tianquan.
Constantly referring to him as your grandson-in-law.
But you didn't have this attitude before.
Such a snob!
The elder who spoke earlier suggested, "How about we let young friend Chen become an honored guest of the Wu family? That way, Elder Wu, you won't be violating your agreement."
As soon as this was said.
It was immediately endorsed by many.
Even Wu Tianquan grinned, "Yes, yes, yes, as long as Chen Nan becomes an honored guest of our Wu family, all problems will be solved?"
He said this and looked at Chen Nan, a sly smile on his face.
"Alright, if the Wu family needs me, as long as it's within my capabilities, I will act." Given the circumstances, Chen Nan could only compromise.
The five elders were overjoyed.
The reason they wanted Chen Nan to become an honored guest of the Wu family.
Was ultimately because they wanted to seek his guidance on cultivation matters.
They wanted to get closer to Chen Nan.
Elder Wu's mood was greatly improved, and he said with a smile, "Today is a happy occasion, no one leaves."
"I've already invited the chef from a star-rated hotel. Tonight, we'll drink until we drop!"
He was truly very happy today.
After all, the Wu family had repelled the strong individuals sent by Guo Mo.
And protected the Wu family's foundation.
Seventy percent was not a small amount.
Of course.
What made him happiest was Chen Nan's arrival.
Although he shamelessly called Chen Nan his grandson-in-law.
However.
His granddaughter's affection for Chen Nan was evident.
As the saying goes, a man pursuing a woman is like climbing a mountain, but a woman pursuing a man is like wading through water.
Given his granddaughter's looks, why would he worry about not winning over Chen Nan?
Making Chen Nan an honored guest of the family.
Was precisely to create opportunities for them to interact.
Chen Nan understood Wu Tianquan's intentions.
However.
He truly had no interest in young girls like Wu Qianru.
His kidneys needed to be used for a worthy cause.
Afterward, Chen Nan stayed at the Wu family's residence. Although he disliked the kind of treatment where everyone fawned over him.
But since he had become an honored guest of the Wu family, staying for a meal was quite necessary.
Wu Qianru disliked Chen Nan being surrounded by a crowd, so she specifically took him to her bedroom and looked at him with a lovesick expression: "Uncle, how can you be so strong?"
Chen Nan smiled, "It's just so-so!"
Wu Qianru hesitated, then couldn't help but ask, "With your strength, do you have many admirers?" As she said this, her eyes were filled with nervousness.
This was her way of indirectly asking if Chen Nan had a girlfriend.
Chen Nan cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Miss Wu, I know you have feelings for me, but I have a peculiar habit. I don't like women."
After saying this, Chen Nan couldn't help but shiver.
He hadn't expected himself to say such a hypocritical thing.
However.
To reject Wu Qianru, he had no choice but to do so.
As expected.
Upon hearing Chen Nan's words, Wu Qianru showed a sad expression.
It seemed she couldn't accept that the man she liked was gay...
Soon, lunch began.
Chen Nan sat with the Wu family's grandfather and granddaughter, along with the five honored guests.
After two cups of wine, an elder named Lin Yanjun said, "Young friend Chen, you'd best not expect the Vajra to come looking for you."
Chen Nan's eyebrows rose, "Why do you say that?"
