"This is your fifth uncle, Jiang Mingcheng, the deputy director of the Flame Dragon Law Enforcement Bureau," Elder Master Jiang pointed to Jiang Mingcheng.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

The Law Enforcement Bureau? This is the agency that governs all law enforcement offices in the Flame Dragon Kingdom. It seems the Jiang Family's influence among officials isn't too shabby!

"Chen'er, tell me the truth, what is your true strength?"

Jiang Mingcheng stared intently into Jiang Chen's eyes. He had been trying to sense Jiang Chen's strength ever since he walked in the door, but to no avail, which left him extremely puzzled. He had already broken through to the realm of an Innate Grandmaster; why couldn't he sense the strength of this young man? Logically, this would mean he was an ordinary person, right? But the fact that the building had been cleaved in tow proved that this young man was an incredibly powerful Martial Artist. What was going on?

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Fifth Uncle, stop trying to sense my strength; you won't be able to. My strength is the same as yours; it's just that due to my Cultivation Technique, others can't sense it."

"The same as mine?! Do you know what strength I possess?"

Jiang Mingcheng looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, and Jiang Minglou's face was also full of surprise. Only the two brothers knew about Jiang Mingcheng's breakthrough. Even Elder Master Jiang was not aware of it.

"Yes, my strength is the same as yours," Jiang Chen confirmed.

Jiang Mingcheng and his companion showed expressions of disbelief on their faces, followed by a burst of ecstasy!

A twenty-something Innate Grandmaster! This was unprecedented!

The Jiang Family has produced a dragon!

No wonder! Jiang Minglou thought to himself, no wonder this youngster dared to stand up to Jiang Minghui. With such strength as his foundation, what was there to fear!

"He must be bluffing. How could someone in their twenties be as strong as my dad?" Jiang Yufeng muttered with disbelief from his seat on the left.

Jiang Chen glanced at him, smiled slightly, and chose not to continue this topic.

In fact, his own strength wasn't just at the level of an Innate Grandmaster. As for what realm he had actually reached, even he was somewhat unclear.

But he couldn't say this to others, for fear of frightening them.

"Chen'er, I wanted you to stay to ask if there is anything you find difficult about the ancestral worship examination in a month," Elder Master Jiang spoke softly. "If there is anything, just speak up, and we'll figure it out together."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Grandfather, you don't have to worry about this. I have my own ways to cope with it. However, I'm not very familiar with Jincheng. Could someone show me around Jincheng these days?"

"Of course, that's no problem at all. Yu Qing has just returned; let him take you around Jincheng. You can also make some friends among the sons and daughters of Jincheng's major families," Elder Master Jiang said as he turned to look at Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Yuqing nodded lightly, "There's a gathering of Jincheng's young generation in a few days. I'll take my cousin to check it out."

"Good, then I'll trouble Yu Qing," said Jiang Chen, smiling and nodding.

Jiang Yuqing replied with a smile, "Cousin, you're too polite. We're all family here."

"I want to go too!"

"And me!"

Jiang Yuling and Jiang Yufeng, the siblings, spoke in unison.

While Jiang Chen and the others were discussing matters, Gong Lin, Yè Yùwǎn, and Fu Ling'er had each acquired a Semi Innate bodyguard by their sides, and another Semi Innate appeared in the hotel diagonally across from the Jiang Family Courtyard.

The Longteng Hotel, a four-star hotel located a hundred meters diagonally opposite the Jiang Family Courtyard, is part of the Longteng Group's properties.

In room 308, a beautiful woman stood by the window, murmuring to herself with a puzzled expression, "What is the Jiang Family up to? Why are they dismantling their own attic for fun?"

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang, and the woman turned and walked to the door. After peering through the peephole, she opened the door.

A rugged-looking man stood at the door. Stepping inside, he said softly, "Zhu Yan, have you been staying here all these days?"

"Yes, my protection subject has always been staying at the Jiang residence. I haven't even seen her face; I can't just go knocking on their door, right? Doing so would probably arouse the Jiang Family's suspicions. If they find any trace and realize that a Semi Innate Great Grand Master from Flame Dragon bodyguards has come to protect their lady, won't it just swell their pride?"

Zhu Yan spoke casually and then, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Jin Chong, what brings you here?"

"I've been assigned to protect Ye Jingyi," Jin Chong shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.

"You're protecting Ye Jingyi? Then..." Zhu Yan thought of something, looking at Jin Chong in disbelief.

Jin Chong smiled faintly, "Mu Sen, Huo Liang, and Shi Yan have gone to protect Gong Lin, Yè Yùwǎn, and Fu Ling'er."

"How can it be… Why are you guys protecting those girls? Wasn't it Xia Yu and the others?" Zhu Yan exclaimed in shock.

Jin Chong let out a wry smile, "Having us protect them, according to Elder Xu's words, is just barely better than nothing!"

"Barely better than nothing?" Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at Jin Chong with a puzzled face.

Jin Chong bitterly explained the protective forces around Jiang Chen.

Zhu Yan stood there in a daze after listening, and after a while, she came to her senses and said helplessly, "It seems that we are indeed barely better than nothing!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhu Yan turned her head to look out the window, where a large expanse of old houses lay in the direction of the Jiang residence.

"If that's the case, it's very likely that Jiang Chen was the one who destroyed that attic? The three elders of the Jiang Family wouldn't just demolish their own attic for no reason. The only one with the capability is him, who has just returned to the Jiang residence today. But what could have happened to provoke him so?"

Zhu Yan murmured to herself, her eyes reflecting deep contemplation.

"What are you talking about?" Jin Chong looked at Zhu Yan, who was speaking to herself, not understanding.

Zhu Yan softly recounted the events that had occurred at the Jiang residence and said with a furrowed brow, "Do you think, could Jiang Chen have encountered some trouble at the Jiang residence? Should we go in and take a look? If we avoid entering because we don't want the Jiang Family to notice us, and something happens to the person we're supposed to protect, we..."

"You're overthinking it. According to the intelligence, this time Jiang Chen brought Leng Ye and Yan Hu, two Innate Great Grandmasters, to Jincheng. With their strength, even if the three old masters of the Jiang Family make a move, they should be capable of protecting themselves."

Jin Chong let out a light chuckle, shaking his head, and looked out the window, "We'd better wait for someone from Jiang Chen's side to come out and take us in. If the Jiang Family finds out that Flame Dragon bodyguards' five elite talents have been sent to guard and are still just barely sufficient, we're going to be the joke of the century!"

"That's true!"

Zhu Yan let out a bitter laugh, gazing out the window, filled with bewilderment, "How did that Jiang Chen and his people train to become so strong?"
