Chapter 275: Clouds Moving in All Directions

Beijing, Dragon Group main base.

"Old Qi, what do you say about this matter? Should we intervene? After all, we have received quite a few benefits from that little girl Chen Jing!" Huang Lao shook the teacup in his hand and said to an old man beside him.

"Old Huang, don't think I don't know what you're plotting. Among us old men, you are the only one with the closest relationship to that little girl Chen Jing, and you are also the one who has received the most benefits. Now you want to drag us all in to act as a shield for that little girl—aren't you being a bit too clever?" another old man said with a grin.

"You must not forget that the people acting this time include Heaven Tier experts. This breaks the agreement we in the Dragon Group signed with them back then!" Huang Lao set down his teacup. "Just relying on the relationship between the Chen girl and me is not enough to make me act. But now that they have broken the rules by acting, this point cannot be forgiven!"

"You are right; these guys have indeed been restless for some time now. I say, Nangong, you must have felt it too—this world has already undergone unknown changes!" Qi Lao drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and said to the other person.

"That's right, this world has indeed changed, as if some shackles have been broken. And the place where the changes are most significant is right here within our country. It's no wonder those guys would send such experts to test the waters!" Another white-haired old man slowly stood up. "However, if they dare to run wild in Huaxia, they must be prepared to pay the price!"

"Well, Old Qi, now that even Nangong agrees, you won't refuse to act this time, will you?" Huang Lao raised his eyebrows at Qi Lao.

"Hah, you're quite something, actually managing to persuade Nangong. After I help the Chen girl out of this predicament, I must make her bring out at least five taels of Qingshen Tea to reward me!" Qi Lao said.

"Hmm, that's not right. At a time like this, the Chen girl should be calling me to ask for help. Why is it so quiet until now? Could it be that something happened to that little girl?" Huang Lao frowned slightly, then took out a mobile phone. "I have to ask about her situation!"

In the Villa, Chen Jing, who was preparing to go out, suddenly received a call.

"Hmm? A call from Huang Lao?" Chen Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Hello, Chen girl, are you okay? I heard you've run into trouble. Do you want this old man to help you?" As soon as Chen Jing answered the phone, she heard Huang Lao's boisterous voice. "Don't worry, this old man still has some face here in the Dragon Group. As long as you speak up, I can have the Dragon Group put out the word so those guys won't dare to touch you! When the time comes, just give me five taels of tea leaves as a reward!"

"Ah, it's Grandpa Huang. Don't worry, I have already found a way to deal with those guys, so I won't trouble you," Chen Jing said with a smile.

"I say, little girl, you wouldn't happen to not know how many people are eyeing the Qingshen Tea in your hands, would you? Relying only on your small influence and the Su Family won't be enough to withstand those people who are eyeing you like tigers!" Huang Lao became anxious all of a sudden.

"This time, we aren't relying on the strength of our two families! Grandpa Huang, do you remember me saying that this Qingshen Tea is not my own thing?" Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Hmm? According to what you're saying, did the owner of the Qingshen Tea take action? That's still hard to say, after all, there are simply too many hungry wolves eyeing you this time. Those foreign brats have at least ten Heaven Tier experts combined. Such a formation is something even we old men have to face with full caution!" Huang Lao stroked his beard and said.

"Heh, let alone a dozen Heaven Tier experts, even if the other side has Innate Experts, they might not be able to leave here in one piece!"

"Innate? Hiss—" Huang Lao couldn't help but gasp. "Alright, I understand. But no matter what, if there is any place you need help, call this old man immediately, and I will arrive at the first moment!"

"Okay, Grandpa Huang, I have something to do now, so I'll hang up first!" Chen Jing responded with a smile and then hung up the phone.

"Was that Huang Lao?" Seeing Chen Jing hang up the phone, Su Wanyue asked.

"Yes, Huang Lao said that if we have any trouble here, we can go to him for help," Chen Jing nodded and said.

"Is that so?" Su Wanyue nodded slightly. "It seems that among the people we have met, only Huang Lao truly wants to help us; we will remember this favor. Now let's go find Lingyun; presumably, he is already prepared on his end!"

"Hmm, let's go!" Chen Jing said.

"Well, Old Huang, what did the Chen girl say?" Seeing Huang Lao put down his phone, Qi Lao asked curiously. "I see your expression, it seems very interesting! And, what did you mean by 'Innate' just now?"

"I think we probably won't need to take action this time!" Huang Lao gave a wry smile and said.

"We don't need to take action? What does that mean? Could it be that there is some other power behind the Chen girl?" Nangong asked.

"The ones taking action this time are the true owners of the Qingshen Tea. It is likely because someone wanted to take action against their spokesperson that they were drawn out," Huang Lao said.

"Then what about the 'Innate' you mentioned?"

"The Chen girl said that even if there are Innate Experts among the invaders this time, they will never return!" Huang Lao said.

"Hiss—" Hearing this, even Qi Lao couldn't help but gasp. "This girl's words are too bold. Innate Experts—what kind of powerful existences are they? If even such experts are to meet their doom before that unknown power, then how powerful must that force be?"

"Actually, this matter is not hard to understand! Don't forget, the power behind Chen Jing, since they can produce something as heaven-defying as Qingshen Tea, it means they likely possess treasures even more powerful than Qingshen Tea, or at the very least, they have a much larger quantity of it. Supported by such powerful resources, the experts that power possesses likely far exceed our imagination. Perhaps in their eyes, 'Innate' is just a rank that can be piled up with Qingshen Tea," Nangong said.

"You mean, in that unknown power, there might be experts hidden who are above the Innate level?" Huang Lao was shocked.

"Without concrete evidence, I cannot judge!" Nangong shook his head.

"In other words, the power behind Chen Jing now has the full ability to devour everyone who wants to target them?" Qi Lao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's not necessarily true, after all, we don't know how many people they have actually sent!" Nangong shook his head. "The only thing we can be sure of now is that someone is about to have terrible luck!"

"I think we should go take a look when the time comes; it wouldn't be good if the impact caused is too great!" Nangong said.

The people present looked at each other and all nodded.

As Chen Jing and Su Wanyue entered Lingyun's Villa, the atmosphere in Beijing suddenly became somewhat ominous. In the shadows, countless greedy eyes were staring fixedly at this Villa.

They had investigated the effects of Qingshen Tea clearly; it could increase the success rate of breaking through to the Innate level—what a heaven-defying thing this was. An innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a criminal. The fact that such a thing appeared in the hands of a girl whose strength barely reached the Earth Tier made it impossible for them not to feel greed.

These people had already regarded Chen Jing as fish on a chopping block, and how she would be carved up was all that remained for them to do. It was just unclear who would be the real fish on the chopping block this time!
