The words of Xiao Tian Ce caused everyone present to focus their attention on Qiao Yu.

Families are in competition with each other, so they naturally investigate each other's members on a regular basis.

Qiao Yu, who appeared here at this time, was a complete unknown, so it was no wonder that Xiao Tian Ce was suspicious.

"This young friend Qiao Yu is the husband of my granddaughter, Tang Lan, and my Tang family's son-in-law. Naturally, he is qualified to represent my Tang family in this family conference."

Faced with everyone's suspicion, Tang Wumou stood up directly.

"Hmph, son-in-law?" A cold smile crept onto Xiao Tian Ce's lips.

"Tang Wumou, do you think we're all fools? Your granddaughter is already 25 years old, how could she find a son-in-law who isn't even 20?"

"Your Tang family is really going backward. Is there no man left in the Tang family, so you have to just pull a random man to make up the numbers?"

With Xiao Tian Ce taking the lead, the other families who were hostile to the Tang family naturally began to kick them when they were down.

"Just pull someone and say he's the Tang family's son-in-law? Then I'll go to Kyoto and Qinghua University and pull a few geniuses over and say they're my adopted sons?"

"That's right, if they're husband and wife, why are they standing so far apart? They're not even holding hands, how can they be husband and wife?"

"If you're husband and wife, then kiss for us to see!"

"A kiss isn't enough, give us a live performance of Guan Bao's friendship!"

The faces of the Tang family members turned red with anger at the overwhelming ridicule.

Even Tang Wumou's face became a little unsightly.

He quietly nudged Qiao Yu.

"Young friend Qiao Yu, why don't you just make a sacrifice and get close to Lan'er to shut those people up?"

"What did you say?"

Qiao Yu's brow furrowed instantly.

"No way! I only agreed to participate in the family conference. Your current request is asking me to sell my body, sell my soul!"

Tang Wumou was also a little worried, "Then what do you think we should do, young friend?"

Qiao Yu's face was firm, and he slowly opened his mouth, "I want more money!"

Tang Wumou: "..."

"After this is done, I want the Tang family to help me investigate something."

"Alright!"

As soon as Tang Wumou finished speaking, Qiao Yu instantly appeared beside Tang Lan.

He subtly took Tang Lan's hand, and Tang Lan knew that now was not the time to be capricious.

She smiled and pecked Qiao Yu on the cheek.

Now everyone couldn't find any more fault, and they all turned their attention to Xiao Tian Ce, who was taking the lead.

Xiao Tian Ce originally wanted to say something, but when he sensed Qiao Yu's level, he was instantly stunned.

"Initial stage?"

Xiao Tian Ce was a little incredulous.

People on Kaiji Star enter the Otherworld after they turn 18 and reach adulthood. They enter the intermediate stage before the age of 20, and the advanced stage before the age of 25.

Those who can reach this standard are undoubtedly geniuses.

The reason why the family conference sets the age limit at under 20 is to see the competition between the geniuses of the various families.

Logically speaking, even if you're looking for outside help, you should find an intermediate-stage genius. What does the Tang family mean by finding an initial-stage one?

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, Qiao Yu's level was only 17 or 18.

"What's wrong with the initial stage? Can't the initial stage participate in the family conference?"

Tang Wumou retorted directly.

"Hahahaha, of course you can! But you have to be careful not to die in Ghost Mountain! What's your profession, little brother?"

Xiao Tian Ce laughed directly. He was too lazy to continue making things difficult, but out of caution, he still asked.

"Mage." Qiao Yu's attitude was indifferent.

Xiao Tian Ce was even more relieved to hear this. No matter what conspiracies and tricks the Tang family had, they would be ineffective in the face of absolute strength.

He often heard of geniuses in professions like Sword Cultivator, Saber Cultivator, and Body Cultivator being able to challenge opponents of higher levels.

As for mages? Don't be ridiculous. This profession is a glass cannon, definitely a late-game profession.

At least after reaching the advanced stage, the mage profession system really starts to exert its power.

What kind of waves can a little initial-stage mage make?

"Since there are no problems with the various families, then those who are preparing to enter Ghost Mountain, take a step forward." Jin Yixiu's voice rang out.

Only then did Qiao Yu have time to observe the other four members of the Tang family.

Among the four members sent by the Tang family, only one was in the intermediate stage, and the remaining three were in the initial stage like him, but it felt like they weren't far from the intermediate stage.

On the other hand, the other three major families had at least three members in the intermediate stage in their teams.

Even some other small families had more luxurious configurations than the Tang family. There were actually a full hundred people participating in this family conference.

No wonder everyone said that the younger generation of the Tang family had declined. The strength of the personnel sent out alone made people directly feel the decline of the Tang family.

"This family conference, like in previous years, has four ghost eyes on Ghost Mountain. The family that obtains the ghost eyes will be the new four major families."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yixiu raised his hand and summoned a deep blue ball of light.

A D-level dungeon? Qiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then the ball of light continued to enlarge, eventually completely enveloping hundreds of people.

After the ball of light returned to its original size, Qiao Yu and the others disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Tian Ce stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying to Jin Yixiu.

"Brother Yixiu, take out your artifact!"

Jin Yixiu nodded and took out a very old bronze mirror.

Jin Yixiu took out a brand new handkerchief and gently wiped the bronze mirror with it. His eyes were filled with pity, as if he was wiping the back of his beloved woman.

This bronze mirror was the key to his fame and an important reason why the family conference invited him over.

Jin Yixiu slowly pressed the wiped bronze mirror onto the blue ball of light. Then, the bronze mirror suddenly shot out a bright light, like a projector, projecting the images inside the Ghost Mountain dungeon!

This bronze mirror can actually see the situation inside the dungeon! No wonder Xiao Tian Ce called it an artifact.

"Alright!" Jin Yixiu put his hands behind his back.

The people outside all looked at the images refracted by the bronze mirror.

In the picture, a strange mountain was shrouded in smoke. The mountain was full of strange rocks, and poisonous insects and snakes appeared in the gaps between the rocks.

The eerie and terrifying appearance made people shudder.

Even though the people of the various major families were not seeing this scene for the first time, they had to sigh, the name Ghost Mountain was well-deserved!

The people of the various major families were paying attention to their own clansmen.

Due to the random teleportation, everyone was separated as soon as they entered the Ghost Mountain dungeon.

As soon as he entered the Ghost Mountain dungeon, a unlucky person fell directly onto the top of Ghost Mountain.

The sky full of smoke immediately swallowed him up. Then, the unlucky person let out a scream and directly lost his breath.

"No! Teng'er! You had the potential to reach the advanced stage!"

As the top of Ghost Mountain reflected in the bronze mirror was dyed red with blood mist, an old man exclaimed and beat his chest.

The young man was the most talented member of his family, but he just died so confused as soon as he landed!

"Before the ghost mist dissipates, whoever goes up this Ghost Mountain will die. Mourn for him, old man."

A kind person next to him opened his mouth to comfort the old man.

In comparison, Qiao Yu's luck was much better.

Not only did he not land on Ghost Mountain, but there were also three members of the Tang family who happened to land next to him.

"Is the Tang family's luck so good? They gathered four people so quickly?"

"That's right! Did the Tang family cheat?"

The surrounding people were upset for a while, while Tang Wumou was very pleased.

It seemed that God was still taking care of their Tang family!

Tang Wumou calmly picked up the teacup placed next to him and took a sip, then raised his eyelids and glanced at the bronze mirror.

However, this one glance made Tang Wumou spit out all the tea in his mouth!
