"Ah?"
Wu San recalled the question Qin Xuan had just asked him about how the Xiao family compared to the four great families.
Could it be... the person he was picking up was some reclusive grandmaster? In that case, they *could* truly contend with the four great families of the capital!
If that was the case, then this person wasn't just a grandmaster.
He was undoubtedly a walking plague!
"Grandmaster Qin, please don't joke. If the Chu family truly comes, you should just yield. They are the Chu family, and perhaps they might even try to recruit you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a chilling killing intent radiating from him.
Even Wu San, glancing at Qin Xuan's peripheral vision in the rearview mirror, was startled.
"Don't say such things again."
"Mhm." Wu San swallowed and responded, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
He thought, *Pah, what is he? A grandmaster? I'm not even sure if he's a grandmaster.*
He refuses an olive branch from the Chu family?
Why act so high and mighty? So many people wish they had this chance.
With you like this, not having three heads and six arms, do you really think you can contend with the Chu family?
Wishful thinking!
Of course, Wu San would never voice these thoughts.
Whether Qin Xuan could defeat the Chu family, he didn't know. But dealing with the Xiao family, if Qin Xuan truly possessed grandmaster strength, it would be as easy as taking something from his pocket.
Let alone dealing with him, a Houtian realm martial artist. He probably wouldn't even be able to withstand Qin Xuan's aura.
The road ahead cleared, and Wu San stepped on the accelerator, the business van speeding away.
"Where are we going?"
As the car left the airport and merged onto the ring road, Qin Xuan closed his eyes and asked.
"To the Marriott for you to rest. Someone will deliver the participant list for this exchange meeting later."
Qin Xuan listened, his eyes still closed, only a slight twitch of his eyebrow.
"You can even see the participant list? Then why didn't you bring it directly?"
"Mainly, we didn't know you were a grandmaster," Wu San said with a sheepish grin, stating the truth.
"We were going to take you to the registration desk for the main event, but since you're a grandmaster, it's naturally not necessary to bother. As for the participant list, only those above grandmaster level receive one. Ordinary people cannot see it."
"I see. In essence, it's because you judged me as coming from a small place." Qin Xuan chuckled lightly.
This fellow was quite forthright, saying whatever he thought.
"It's not entirely that. Mainly, you represent Jiangbei, and this is the first time Jiangbei has sent a representative to attend the conference."
Ever since he learned that Qin Xuan might be a grandmaster, Wu San's attitude had become absolutely respectful.
It was a joke; how could he dare to be presumptuous? Didn't he see Xiao Yiying? That was a lesson from the past.
"However," Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
"As a Houtian realm martial artist, how could you determine if I've reached the grandmaster level?"
If they had been observing him since he started interacting with Wu San, it had only been about half an hour. For the martial arts exchange meeting to have investigated his background in such a short time, it was truly terrifying.
"How could I possibly determine that?" Wu San smiled sheepishly.
"I can only report. The decision came from above. If you say you are a grandmaster, then you are a grandmaster."
"Even if you're not, your strength is definitely not ordinary."
Just now, when he dealt with that Xiao family scion, the person hadn't even blinked.
Moreover, upon hearing he was from the Xiao family, there wasn't a trace of fear.
This kind of reaction could only stem from two possibilities. First, this person was a country bumpkin who knew nothing.
Second, this person genuinely possessed strength, and his speed just now indicated a power far superior to his own.
Therefore, Wu San believed that even if he wasn't a grandmaster, he likely possessed Hua Jin realm strength.
It was known that while there were many who reached Hua Jin, they were not as common as cabbages by the roadside.
"That casual?" Qin Xuan sounded a little doubtful.
"It's not entirely so..." Wu San stammered.
"The main thing is that you've offended the Xiao family, and behind the Xiao family... if you weren't a grandmaster, things might get a bit troublesome."
Qin Xuan let out a cold laugh.
"I understand."
Qin Xuan turned his head and looked at the girl sitting beside him.
"Where are you going?"
The girl had been listening quietly in the car, not making a sound. Wu San had almost forgotten her presence.
He had been chattering so much on the way because Qin Xuan was likely a grandmaster, but he hadn't considered that there was another person in the car who shouldn't have been there.
"Wherever you go, I go," the girl blinked her two clear, bright eyes, looking exceedingly charming and cute.
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly.
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"
"Then... are you a bad person?" The girl pouted, seemingly unconcerned.
"Even if you are a bad person, I accept it."
Qin Xuan's gaze sharpened, trying to find something on the girl's innocent and harmless face.
Alas, he found nothing.
