After listening to Mu Dongcheng’s words,

Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully, looked at Mu Dongcheng, and asked with a smile, "So, you’ve sent people to apply to the Ancient Martial Alliance Certification Association?"

"Yes, because I really want the Chen Family to become a true Ancient Martial force and gain recognition from all the sects!"

Mu Dongcheng nodded and continued:

"So, two months ago, I submitted an application to the Ancient Martial Alliance Certification Association for the Chen Family to formally enter the Ancient Martial World and become an Ancient Martial force. I sent all the detailed materials required for certification to the association."

"These materials sufficiently prove our Chen Family is qualified to become an Ancient Martial force. But the final result was that the application for certification failed and was rejected."

"The explanation given by the association was that the Chen Family hasn’t been established long enough, lacks influence, and the overall strength is yet to be verified. So, the application was temporarily rejected, and once the Chen Family truly qualifies, it will be approved."

"At that time, I knew they were just making excuses, looking down on us because the Chen Family was just established and is too small, deliberately not approving us!"

"What happened later?"

Chen Feng asked calmly.

"You know me, I persist until I get things done, so I continued applying but was rejected every time without a single success. Their reasons were similar each time, a totally perfunctory attitude with excuses like insufficient qualifications or unverified strength, temporary rejection, etc. This marks the eighth time our Chen Family has been rejected!"

Mu Dongcheng said with a face full of frustration.

It’s evident,

being rejected time after time has greatly impacted his confidence.

It also made him feel very angry inside.

"You see, Xiaofeng, from its initial stage to now, our Chen Family has developed quickly and has everything it needs. Why can’t the Chen Family become an Ancient Martial force? With the Chen Family’s strength, we even defeated Tie Sect, a second-rate top sect. Why can’t we be recognized by the Ancient Martial World? Why do they keep saying we don’t qualify? I’m really pissed!"

Mu Dongcheng said resentfully, pounding the table with his fist.

"When was the last application submitted?"

Chen Feng frowned slightly, looking at Mu Dongcheng.

"Two days ago!"

Mu Dongcheng thought for a moment and replied.

"So, at that time, we hadn’t officially started a war with Tie Sect?"

Chen Feng smiled slightly and asked.

"Yes!"

Mu Dongcheng nodded.

"Why not try again today?"

Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Hm?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Mu Dongcheng was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized and said:

"Right, at that time our Chen Family hadn’t defeated Tie Sect, and now we’ve just defeated them. If we submit the application now, even the Certification Association wouldn’t be able to question our strength, right? If we can defeat a second-rate top sect and still don’t qualify as an Ancient Martial force, I wonder which force could qualify in the future. I’d like to see how the Certification Association responds this time!"

"I think they shouldn’t have much to say this time."

Chen Feng smiled faintly and then looked at Mu Dongcheng, saying with a smile, "Where is this Certification Association? I’ll go with you this time!"

"Alright, after the celebration banquet is over, we’ll set off together. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Mu Dongcheng nodded excitedly.

"Okay!"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, took a small sip of red wine, and then looked at Mu Dongcheng, saying, "Oh, and Uncle Mu, there’s one more thing that requires your attention!"

"Xiaofeng, you’re being too polite, don’t be so formal with Uncle Mu, just speak your mind!"

Mu Dongcheng waved his hand and said.

"After defeating Tie Sect, I got the Great Elder of Tie Sect to agree to three conditions, one of which is to compensate our Chen Family. So, I need you to prepare a compensation list. Since you’re most familiar with our Chen Family’s situation and know what we currently lack, you’re the best person for this task!"

Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Oh? Is there such a fortunate thing? Can we ask for whatever the Chen Family lacks?"

Mu Dongcheng’s eyes lit up with excitement.

As the Chen Family’s general manager, he usually manages everything about the Chen Family.

Especially in distributing the Chen Family’s cultivation resources.

This is the most troubling matter to Mu Dongcheng.

As the Chen Family has just been established, it’s short on resources.

Additionally, recently, they have been recruiting many elite masters from various paths.

As a result, the Chen family’s cultivation resources have almost reached a state of scarcity.

So Mu Dongcheng has been meticulously calculating how to allocate cultivation resources effectively every day.

But with only limited resources, no matter how detailed the calculations are, there will always be shortages.

This has troubled Mu Dongcheng greatly; he’s been worried about this matter day and night.

If a large amount of cultivation resources could be provided to the Chen Family at this time.

It would undoubtedly be fantastic news for him.

It could considerably reduce the pressure on him.

That’s why, when he heard about having a chance to list out the compensation from Tie Sect,

it made him incredibly pleased.

"Of course, you can, Uncle Mu. Take advantage of this opportunity. The Tie Sect has a vast family business, and even though this battle nearly wiped out their elite, their resource reserves remain untouched. So, whatever the Chen Family lacks, speak directly, don’t worry about asking for too much. This piece of meat has been delivered to our doorstep, we must take a big bite out of it!"

Chen Feng nodded and laughed.

"Alright, rest assured, I won’t miss out on this golden opportunity. I must say, Tie Sect is really helping us out in our time of need. If we can successfully get compensation from Tie Sect, the Chen Family will overcome this crisis!"

Mu Dongcheng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the matter of the compensation list is in your hands. Prepare it in the next two days for me to review, as I have some items I want to add. Once done, we’ll send it to Tie Sect!"

Chen Feng nodded and said.

"No problem, cheers!"

Mu Dongcheng grinned, raised his glass, and clinked with Chen Feng.

Then the two drank again.

Just like that,

in a cheerful atmosphere,

the Chen Family members at the celebration banquet drank and ate, joyously celebrating this hard-won victory...
