The Grand Entrance of Liu Shuai

Tang Siyuan and his three companions were currently seated in the reception hall.

The steward who had earlier tricked Liu Shuai and his group was also present, seated beside the head of the Jubaotang.

He was now filled with a deep sense of unease, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.

He couldn't fathom why the Liu family had suddenly gathered so many powerful individuals.

These were the most prominent figures in the capital.

The president of the Alchemists' Guild.

The president of the Array Masters' Guild.

The master of the Tianzun Tower.

And their own head!

He began to tremble uncontrollably.

Cold sweat gradually soaked through his back.

All he could do now was pray.

Pray that his worst fears hadn't come true.

But his instincts told him otherwise.

He was in deep trouble!

After waiting for a while, people finally arrived from outside.

And not just a few.

The entire upper echelon of the Liu family had come.

Liu Qi led the way.

The great elder of the Liu family followed with several other elders in tow.

They needed to find out what was going on.

Why had so many powerful figures arrived?

"Greetings, esteemed seniors! I never expected you to visit our Liu family, and I apologize for not welcoming you properly!"

As soon as Liu Qi entered the reception hall, he immediately bowed deeply towards Tang Siyuan and his companions.

The other elders did the same, hastily bowing.

Tang Siyuan and his companions had already stood up. Seeing Liu Qi's actions, they appeared flattered and quickly walked over.

"Liu clan leader, you jest! It's our honor to visit the Liu family!"

With these words, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Liu Qi and his group could hear their own heartbeats.

This…

The great elder stared at Tang Siyuan and the others surrounding Liu Qi, his mouth agape.

What the hell is going on?!

He felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

Liu Qi was equally stunned.

Just moments ago, he had been worried that these four might be here to chastise them for some reason.

Perhaps his son had caused trouble outside.

His heart was filled with anxiety.

But seeing these four now, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

This was utterly unbelievable.

Tang Siyuan looked around but didn't see Liu Shuai. He then asked, "May I know where Young Master Liu Shuai is?"

Liu Qi was taken aback by Tang Siyuan's question.

Looking for his son?

And addressing him with such respect?

Could it be that all of this was because of his son?!

With this in mind, he began to suspect that his son might have accomplished something extraordinary.

And it had to be a good thing!

Had he become a fourth-grade array master?

But even that wouldn't warrant this kind of reaction.

After all, these four were supreme figures.

The great elder and the others shared the same thoughts as Liu Qi, feeling a deep sense of unease, much like the steward nearby.

Liu Qi took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask why the esteemed seniors are looking for my son? He recently joined a team and is preparing for an upcoming tournament."

Tang Siyuan didn't hide the truth and said, "Recently, Young Master Liu Shuai met a benefactor who intends to mentor him."

A benefactor?

Everyone in the Liu family stared at Tang Siyuan.

What kind of benefactor could prompt all four of them to come together?

Seeing that Liu Shuai hadn't returned yet, Tang Siyuan didn't wait any longer and took out a prepared item.

"Liu clan leader, this is something the president of our Alchemists' Guild instructed us to give to you. It contains half of our guild's assets in the capital."

Tang Siyuan handed a storage ring to Liu Qi as he spoke.

Liu Qi was dumbfounded, staring at the ring in front of him.

What?!

Half of your guild's assets?!

And giving it to us?!

And it wasn't over yet.

After Tang Siyuan handed over the ring, the other three also stepped forward with smiles, each handing Liu Qi a ring.

They said the same thing.

These contained half of their guild's assets!

Liu Qi gulped, his hands beginning to tremble.

Looking at the four rings in his hands, he felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

His mind was slow to react, as if he had been struck by a club.

The other members of the Liu family were equally stunned.

Especially the great elder.

His legs went weak.

His eyes glazed over.

Heavens!

What is happening here?!

Are you joking with me?

Half the assets of the four guilds in the capital?

Combined, wouldn't that exceed the total wealth of the kingdom?

It was known that the assets of the Alchemists' Guild alone nearly matched the kingdom's total wealth.

Now, four organizations had given up half their assets.

This was beyond terrifying.

Liu Qi felt as if he were in a dream, hesitant to accept the rings, as if they were the devil's gold, and accepting them meant selling his soul.

"Esteemed seniors...we cannot accept such a generous gift without merit!"

He tried to return the rings, genuinely afraid to accept them.

The other Liu family elders felt the same, fearing that accepting these gifts might bring a calamity upon their family.

After all, everyone knew the saying: when something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Tang Siyuan had anticipated this reaction and was prepared with an explanation.

He stated that they were acting under orders from their headquarters.

They couldn't take the assets back, or they might lose their positions as guild presidents.

Liu Qi and the others were at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Orders from the headquarters!

What kind of benefactor had Liu Shuai encountered to cause such a reaction?

This person must be incredibly powerful, someone who could influence the entire continent.

It couldn't just be a leader of an equally powerful organization.

Could it be...an immortal?!

They all gasped at the thought.

Liu Shuai had met such a person?!

And this person held him in such high regard?!

Unbelievable!

They had to ask him as soon as he returned!

As soon as Liu Qi and the others had these thoughts, a cheerful voice sounded from outside.

"Father! I'm back! Guess what? I've got big news for you!"

Everyone froze at Liu Shuai's words.

Big news?

Instantly, they all turned into curious cats, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Liu Qi hurried out.

He saw Liu Shuai.

Liu Shuai had a big smile on his face, whistling a tune, and swinging his hips flamboyantly, doing an absurd dance as he walked.

It was obvious he was in high spirits!
