1251 Anomalous Aquaintence (1/2)
Tidal Faction
A lower-medium tier ancient faction, Tidal Faction's overall size was not very big. From top down, there were about only 200 to 300 people in total.
But, of course, these two to three hundred people were superior in caliber compared to the common faction.
Take China's number-one faction Xuanjian for example. They had a total of over 10 thousand disciples in their faction, but were no match for a mere 300 Tidal Faction disciples.
That was the true difference between an ancient faction and the average faction.
However, Chen Xiaobei no longer placed importance on this level of factions anymore.
Kunlun Faction! Rothschild family! Northern Wilderness Temple!
All these top-tier authorities were the ones Chen Xiaobei needed to prioritize!
Especially Northern Wilderness Temple! In the long run, this supreme power that ruled over Northern Wilderness was something Chen Xiaobei had to pursue, and maybe even overtake!
The heavenly realm that Chen Xiaobei's heart was set on was an even higher-ranking starfield than Northern Wilderness! To be able to get there, Chen Xiaobei would most probably havewhy to use Northern Wilderness as his launching pad!
If Chen Xiaobei's strength and power could not reach that of the Northern Wilderness Temple's, then he would not qualify for the heavenly realm!
Moreover, Chen Xiaobei had learnt through White Fox about the Northern Wilderness Temple's barbaric scheme to maintain their control over the planets. With a temple like this, there was a chance that Chen Xaiobei might precipitate a massive conflict! That was one of the main reasons why Chen Xiaobei had to surpass the Northern Wilderness Temple!
”Brother-in-law! What are you doing? Come out and take a look! This island is so beautiful! It looks like a fairyland! Come and see! Don't hide yourself in the cabin!” Lin Nan urged.
”Calm down, it's nothing to get all excited about.” Chen Xiaobei got up slowly, as if the fairyland in which Lin Nan was all fired up over did not interest him at all.
Seeing this, Elder Jiu praised Chen Xiaobei in his heart for his disposition and sagacity!
Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan were only a few years apart in age, but Lin Nan's reaction to Tidal Faction was childlike whereas Chen Xiaobei's reaction was sensible like a pragmatic old man!
By comparing the two, Elder Jiu was even more convinced now that Chen Xiaobei was a person who had seen it all! Firm in his disposition and perspicacious in his outlook! To be acquainted with a person so notable was fortuitous!
Once he stepped out of the cabin, Chen Xiaobei saw Tidal Faction being laid out before him.
It was a pretty decent moderately-sized island, covered in lush greenery. Under the radiant sunlight, dotted in between the overgrown trees were Chinese-style pavilions that had an ethereal appeal to them.
To a commoner's eyes, this was paradise!
But to Chen Xiaobei who had journeyed to Northern Wilderness Starfield which expanded his worldview, the island before him was nothing out of the ordinary.
”Leader of Tidal Faction, Lin Chaoyin, and the 216 disciples of our faction welcomes Mr. Chen to our island!”
As the yacht drew near the port, a middle-aged woman greeted them. Standing behind her in a neat formation were about 200 people. They had arrived earlier to prepare in advance for Chen Xiaobei's arrival.
”Mr. Chen! I didn't know that you have such prominence in an ancient faction!” Elder Jiu said, smiling.
”Elder Jiu, don't compliment me.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”Lin Chaoyin is only afraid of me because she knows that I am friends with Focker. Frankly, the one she should be afraid of is Focker!”
”That's because Lin Chaoyin's judgement is impaired! She can't tell the difference between what's important and what's not!” Elder Jiu frowned. ”How can Focker be placed on par with Mr. Chen? I'll teach her a lesson!”
