Outside the crowd, someone shouted the names of the ten members of the new generation, plus Gao Lingwang.
Su Nanyin, who already knew that families like the Fang family and other local influential families would be present, trembled slightly. Her usually calm expression finally changed.
Just two hours ago—
She had personally driven Gao Lingwang away!
But now, Gao Lingwang had arrived.
Not only had Gao Lingwang arrived, but the new generation representing the ten "friendly allied families" had also all appeared collectively!
"Why did they come back?"
"Are they abandoning their respective families, preparing to follow Li Xiao in their fathers' footsteps and carve out their own empire, following Qianfan?"
"Or are they following the orders of their elders from the allied families, participating in the new power structure Qianfan is establishing in this manner?"
"If it's the former, it's Qianfan's great fortune!"
"If it's the latter—"
"I will absolutely not let them ruin all my hard work!"
"Dare to cause trouble, and none of you will leave unscathed!"
It had to be said that Su Nanyin was indeed worthy of Mo Xie Zheng Dong's high regard.
Her reaction to the sudden unexpected event was incredibly swift.
Crucially, her analysis was comprehensive, and she instantly made the most decisive and ruthless decision.
If the allied influential families truly intended to ruin her efforts, she would actually dare to let them die in an accident!
This was enough to prove—
When a woman truly sets her mind to something, there is nothing she cannot do or dare not do!
The three young ladies of the Su family standing behind her noticed nothing of their mother's reaction, merely staring blankly at Gao Lingwang and the others approaching.
Then, they looked at Li Qianfan.
His surprise was no less than Su Nanyin's.
However, because he lacked Su Nanyin's ambition, he was able to make the most correct judgment faster than anyone else.
A chilling murderous intent emanated from beside him.
Li Qianfan tilted his head to look.
Su Nanyin's eyes flickered.
"Don't overthink it."
Li Qianfan's left hand subtly squeezed her right hand.
After suppressing her surging killing intent, he whispered, "When they announced their arrival, they didn't include prefixes like the Gao family of the Northwest or the Chu family of Xincheng. This proves their presence represents only themselves."
A thunderous reprimand.
A moment of enlightenment.
Su Nanyin's eyes instantly cleared.
The overwhelming killing intent vanished in an instant.
A noble smile returned to her lips: "Qianfan, congratulations."
Li Qianfan casually replied, "Sister, congratulations to you too."
Su Nanyin—
The crowd parted.
Eleven young men and women, led by Gao Lingwang, filed up to Su Nanyin.
Swish—
They bowed in unison.
And shouted in a booming voice: "Congratulations Aunt Nanyin on establishing your foundation in Si Jiu!"
Su Nanyin returned the bow solemnly.
Onlookers watched—
Old Tang smiled heartily.
Murong He and Zhao Tingshan took out their phones, eager to quickly inform their families about the new generation's arrival.
Chu Yazhi and the others were also beaming.
The caterpillar biting at the back of His Majesty the Emperor's Empress instantly turned charming, exuding irresistible allure.
Old Master Su stroked his chin, thinking, "My son-in-law has great influence! It must be my appearance that brought him good luck."
Luo Huayin, standing at the main gate of the Su family—
Sighed inwardly: "Alas. With these people here, how could I possibly have a chance to abduct Su Nanyin, who is secretly pregnant? Never mind, never mind, I'll just lie low for now. Waiting for a good opportunity to abduct Little Guanyin. Those detestable new generation from the East, don't regret following the wrong person!"
What were the ten major influential family patriarchs feeling at this moment?
If the heavens said, "Children, I give you a knife. I allow you to kill without mercy and bear no consequences! What would you do?"
The ten major influential family patriarchs would undoubtedly pounce without hesitation and slaughter everyone present!
What about the gentlemen from the Seven Surnamed Influential Families?
They stared blankly at this group of the new generation, their brains processing slowly, unsure what they were thinking.
Gao Lingwang and the others' arrival brought no gifts.
Just two shoulders, carrying a head!
Oh.
And a mouth that could talk eloquently and eat endlessly.
Suddenly—
Someone outside the crowd shouted: "The Rhodes family of England, specially here to Si Jiu to congratulate the Su family on establishing their foundation!"
What?
The Rhodes family from England, also here to congratulate the Su family on establishing their foundation?!
Many people at the scene felt their heads spin.
Even Su Nanyin, with her exceptional composure, was stunned again.
After his initial shock, Li Qianfan's mind conjured an image of a beautiful figure.
Du Yaoyao instinctively reached for her weapon.
What were the ten major influential families and the Seven Surnamed Influential Families feeling?
Li Qianfan couldn't spare them a thought, his mind racing to figure out what the Rhodes family's sudden appearance signified.
The crowd parted.
A woman strode in.
Emma.
This woman was none other than Emma, the confidante of Madam Rhodes, Jessica.
"Ms. Su, Mr. Li."
Emma walked up to the two of them, presenting a black card with both hands: "On behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Rodan, I have specifically come to Si Jiu to congratulate the Su family on establishing their foundation."
"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Rodan."
After their shock, Li Qianfan and Su Nanyin had to bow in return: "Ms. Emma, you've had a long journey."
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person.
Besides, Ms. Emma had brought a black card?
For the sake of the card—
A certain rumored couple had to show sufficient respect!
Moments later.
Shen Congdao and Miao Hanyu, as if injected with chicken blood, shouted in unison: "The Rhodes family congratulates the Su family on establishing their foundation in Si Jiu with a gift of one hundred million British pounds!"
One hundred million British pounds.
What was that in local currency?
Look up the latest exchange rates yourself—
What made Li Qianfan feel most uneasy was that after Emma finished her congratulations, she politely declined his insistent invitation to stay and left.
"She's leaving so quickly, could the card only have one pound?"
Mr. Li began to judge the Rhodes' wife by his own petty standards.
The scene was silent.
Everyone hadn't fully recovered from the shock of the Rhodes family, the global richest family with luxury cars, actually coming to congratulate the Su family on establishing their foundation.
Then, from outside the crowd—
Someone shouted: "The Moses family of Ancient Hebrew! The Main Imperial Palace of Rome! Jointly here to Si Jiu to congratulate the Su family on establishing their foundation!"
The Main Imperial Palace of Rome—
The Moses family of Ancient Hebrew—
Two powers, both belonging to the global four great powers, appeared together shortly after the Rhodes family's representatives had left!
The already quiet scene became even more deathly silent.
This time, not to mention the Seven Surnamed Influential Families, the ten major influential families, or Old Tang and others.
Even Her Majesty the Empress was completely stunned, her bright eyes fixed on Li Qianfan, her breathing almost ceasing.
One of the global four great powers, compared to the Rhodes family, who had higher prestige globally?
Undoubtedly, it was the four great powers!
Yet now.
Two of the global four great powers, the Main Imperial Palace and the Moses family, had clearly declared their support for Li Qianfan.
What did this represent?
It could only mean that both the Rhodes family and the Main Imperial Palace and the Moses family hoped that Li Qianfan would successfully inherit the Dragon Ruins and become the next Dragon Lord!
"That brat must be hiding something from me."
"Otherwise, the Rhodes family and the two great powers wouldn't all be supporting him to become the Dragon Lord."
"He must have made future deals with these people when he went to settle accounts with Alexander."
"But why was the foolish Yaoyao, who was supposed to accompany him to Ancient Hebrew, so easily sent back?"
"If I had known earlier that the brat had the backing of these major powers, why would I have worried about him being isolated by the allied influential families and trapped in a desperate situation because of me?"
"Damn brat."
"Tonight, you wait for me!"
The great Empress roared inwardly, gnashing her teeth.
Strangely.
Li Qianfan didn't feel any surprise at this.
This further convinced Su Nanyin that the arrival of the two great powers was something he had arranged behind her back.
Just to give her a surprise—
Su Nanyin quickly regained her composure and, along with Li Qianfan, greeted the representatives of the two great powers.
The gifts from the Main Imperial Palace and the Moses family were both one hundred million US dollars.
A hundred million dollars, for the two great powers, was indeed truly small change.
Shen Huiteng, the Seven Surnamed Influential Families, Old Tang, Zhao Tingshan, and others were all in a daze, as if in a dream.
Even the new generation who had been preening and showing off maintained an unusual silence.
This was because in their hearts, they rejoiced: "Brothers, following Li Qianfan to conquer the world was the right move!"
Du Yaoyao, with her simple mind?
Was pondering: "It seems that after Elder Li retires, my portrait can be hung in the Bronze Sparrow Terrace. Hmm. When it's hung, it should be next to Maomaochong and my mother. That way, it will show that we are a family."
Actually.
Du Yaoyao was overthinking.
How could the pure-minded Li Qianfan be like his imposing father, insisting on hanging the artistic photos of all the women in the Bronze Sparrow Terrace?
The Bronze Sparrow Terrace belonged only to his father, Li Xiao.
When Li Qianfan inherited the Dragon Ruins in the future, he would find a new residence.
He would hang the artistic photos of Yaoyao and the others in the new place—
The scene was silent.
Suddenly!
From outside the crowd—
Someone shouted: "The Athena of the Western War God Temple, has personally arrived in Si Jiu to specially congratulate the Su family on establishing their foundation!"
