After a moment of thought, Chen Qingdi made his decision.
"Driver, the Wu Family's residence."
Having made up his mind, he spoke directly to the driver.
"The Wu Family? Which Wu Family?"
The driver was momentarily confused.
"Which other Wu Family could it be? Elder Wu Jinfeng's, of course," Chen Qingdi replied.
"I didn't expect a young man like you to know Elder Wu. You must be no ordinary person."
The driver turned out to be quite talkative.
He chatted with Chen Qingdi nonstop the entire way.
"I suppose so. We've met a few times."
"Why? Do you want to meet Elder Wu, too?"
Chen Qingdi glanced at the driver.
"Me? How would I get a chance like that? I'm just a lowly taxi driver, buried in work every day."
"Elder Wu is one of the representatives of the Ancient Martial Families in Jingxi."
"His strength is formidable."
"I heard the Wu Family possesses many Ancient Martial Arts Books from a bygone era."
"Plenty of experts want to get their hands on them, and a number of powerful families have offered exorbitant prices," the driver said, rambling on.
'I'm surprised this driver knows so much about the Wu Family.'
"If there's a chance, I'll take you to the Wu Family to meet Elder Wu. But not today," Chen Qingdi said.
"Even if Elder Wu agreed, I wouldn't have the time."
"My family is waiting for me to bring money home. I have an elderly mother who is bedridden and a disabled son… What can you do? That's life."
The driver still faced life with confidence.
Even though it was a total mess.
"Give me your contact information. When I have time, I'll go check on your mother and son. I'm actually a doctor."
"Don't worry, I'll treat them for free," Chen Qingdi said with a smile.
"Really?"
The driver hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise today.
"Thank you!"
With that, the driver gave Chen Qingdi his contact information.
When they arrived, the driver insisted on not taking Chen Qingdi's money; after all, Chen Qingdi had promised to treat his mother and son.
But Chen Qingdi still left the driver one hundred yuan.
Once the car stopped, Chen Qingdi quickly got out.
As soon as he stepped out, Chen Qingdi saw Elder Wu's son, Wu Qiang, waiting by the entrance.
Seeing Chen Qingdi arrive, Wu Qiang strode toward him.
"Mr. Chen, you're finally here."
"My father is waiting for you in the conference hall."
Wu Qiang put on a polite facade.
In truth, Wu Qiang still didn't approve of Chen Qingdi.
He felt Chen Qingdi was just a guy with some strength and a bit of medical skill.
Furthermore, Wu Qiang wanted to seize the position of the Wu Family Patriarch.
Among the three sons, he felt his own advantages were the greatest.
Chen Qingdi then followed Wu Qiang through the Wu Family's main gate, which quickly closed behind them.
Only after seeing this did the driver drive away.
'At first, the driver had thought Chen Qingdi was just talking big and didn't actually know anyone from the Wu Family.'
'But now, it seemed Chen Qingdi's identity was truly extraordinary. The Wu Family had sent someone to personally greet him.'
'And he looked so young, too.'
Soon, under Wu Qiang's guidance, Chen Qingdi arrived at the Wu Family's conference hall.
Elder Wu was there, along with several of the Wu Family's Tributors, all of whom were experts at the Master Realm.
One of them was even on the verge of reaching the Grandmaster Realm.
Everyone present at this meeting held a pivotal position in the Wu Family. When Chen Qingdi arrived, these Tributors all looked at him with cold indifference. They didn't take him seriously at all; in their eyes, Chen Qingdi was just a child.
The oldest and most powerful among these Tributors, a man in his fifties named Ni Wei, scoffed, "Elder Wu, is this the outside help you found?"
"What help can he possibly be?"
This Tributor named Ni Wei clearly held Chen Qingdi in contempt.
The other Tributors followed suit, showing no goodwill toward Chen Qingdi.
"Mr. Chen did me the favor of saving my life."
"If it weren't for Mr. Chen, I would already be dead."
"No one is to have any issue with Mr. Chen. Having an issue with Mr. Chen is the same as having an issue with me. Is that clear?"
Wu Jinfeng said, his face etched with displeasure.
Since Elder Wu had spoken so forcefully, Ni Wei had no choice but to swallow his dissatisfaction, no matter how much he felt.
"Elder Wu, didn't you say the Wu Family's Hundred Fist Atlas was gone?"
"I'm just not sure what help I can be, now that you've called me here," Chen Qingdi said with a wry smile.
"Did you hear that? He himself doesn't even know how he can help!" Ni Wei said with a displeased look.
"Elder Ni, that's enough."
"As for how the Hundred Fist Atlas was lost, I believe everyone here, except for Mr. Chen, knows the truth perfectly well," Wu Jinfeng said in a low, heavy voice.
"The Luo Family employs an unrivaled master thief, whose skills are unparalleled. The Luo Family has been using this master thief to steal Ancient Martial Arts Books from various Martial Arts Families."
"It's not just our Wu Family that has lost a book; other families have also suffered thefts."
"That's why I've invited Mr. Chen here this time. I was hoping you would accompany us on a trip to the Luo Family."
"To see if we can get the Hundred Fist Atlas back."
"The Luo Family, like our Wu Family, is one of the Four Ancient Martial Families. Their strength is comparable to ours, with masters as numerous as the clouds in the sky, many of whom are young."
"Many families have gone to them to demand an explanation and the return of their books, but they were all beaten back."
"I sought you out to increase our chances of success."
Wu Jinfeng directly explained his reason for inviting Chen Qingdi.
After listening, Chen Qingdi simply nodded.
It wasn't that Chen Qingdi was willing to meddle in other people's business; the main reason was that he wanted to check out the Luo Family for himself.
After all, he had promised Situ Xian that he would rescue her son from the Luo Family.
This was the perfect opportunity to go to the Luo Family, observe their layout, and find out just how many experts their family truly had.
"Can he really do it?" Ni Wei said doubtfully.
Ni Wei looked at Chen Qingdi and didn't sense much power. Indeed, on the surface, the realm Chen Qingdi displayed was only the Guiyuan Realm.
In reality, Chen Qingdi had long since surpassed that realm.
"Mr. Chen is very formidable, Elder Ni. You shouldn't underestimate him."
"Who knows, at the critical moment, you might be the one needing Mr. Chen to back you up," Wu Jinfeng said with a smile.
Ni Wei felt that such a situation would never occur. He remained extremely arrogant.
After all, he was the strongest person present.
It was because of his strength that he was so insolent, not taking Chen Qingdi seriously in the slightest and seeing him as nothing more than a little kid.
