"So the real clown was me all along."
Watching Qin Hao bask in boundless glory, Chen Yuntian fell silent. He had witnessed almost every step of Qin Hao's rise. Back during the Initiation Trial, Qin Hao had already displayed extraordinary talent.
Even a genius like Lei Yun had been no match for Qin Hao. Yet Chen Yuntian still refused to believe he had lost to him. He believed that as long as he cultivated diligently, sooner or later he would trample Qin Hao underfoot again.
And yet...
Half a year had passed, and the gap between them had only widened. Qin Hao had now reached a height Chen Yuntian could only look up to.
"Tian'er, don't let your thoughts run wild. Your talent is far from poor. As long as you cultivate diligently, you may still have a chance to surpass Qin Hao someday."
The Chen Family Head, Chen Huo, noticed something was wrong with Chen Yuntian. He sighed and said, "The Liu family has been driven out of Tianshui City, and the Qin family now stands alone at the top, but that is only temporary. If you rise to prominence in the Myriad Phenomena Hall one day, our Chen family may yet claim Tianshui City for itself."
"Father, I understand. I'll work hard." Chen Yuntian drew a deep breath and rallied himself. He gave Qin Hao a long look, then left with the many Chen family elders.
Tianshui City, the Qin Family Residence.
The Qin family was bustling with activity as the leaders of numerous factions in Tianshui City came to pay their respects.
Tianshui City had undergone an upheaval, and the Liu family had suffered a devastating blow. News of such magnitude swept through the entire city almost instantly, even reaching the surrounding regions.
