Chen Zixiu pondered for a moment, then smiled. "I have no objections to the other three cities, but why choose Sacred Sword City in the Star Luo Empire? Aren't you afraid the Wind Sword Sect will accuse you of stealing food from its bowl?"
Sacred Sword City was home to the Sword Alliance and the Wind Sword Sect.
A glint of slyness flashed in Chen Xiaojun's eyes. He shook his head gently. "Great-grandfather, you're worrying too much."
"These four cities will only serve as training bases, not direct recruitment sites."
"Of course, choosing Sacred Sword City may indeed have some impact on the Wind Sword Sect, but the Wind Sword Sect and we are two sides of the same coin. That impact will remain within our control."
"Besides, our influence is relatively strong in Sacred Sword City. Keeping things right under our noses makes it safer."
At that, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing his confidence.
Understanding flashed through Chen Zixiu's mind. "You're worried about making too much noise and attracting unnecessary attention?"
Chen Xiaojun nodded. "Exactly. The large-scale recruitment we're about to undertake may touch a nerve with the various powers."
"No one can say how those imperial and royal families will view this move by our Chen Clan."
Then his expression grew solemn. After a moment's consideration, he continued slowly, "That's why I have to be careful when choosing the locations."
"Power is highly centralized in the Star Luo Empire. Setting up a base in Star Luo City would probably invite unnecessary trouble."
At this point, he looked up at Chen Zixiu, a glint of resolve in his eyes. "If Heaven Dou City also takes issue with this, we can consider setting up the base somewhere more suitable."
"Glazed Tile City or Sunset City, for instance,"
