Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Alkaid?"

Su Yaoyu's forehead immediately furrowed with several question marks upon hearing what Lin Xia had said.

Do you even hear what you're saying?

The soon-to-be-reorganized Supreme Council, which will decide the future direction of Dayu Country, will be chaired by Alkaid?

Su Yaoyu stared at Lin Xia for a good while before speaking incredulously, "Don't joke about these things. Members of the Supreme Council are figures of high status, not ones whom we can discuss at will.

It's not just about the chairmanship—even grandfather, even if he struggled for another ten or twenty years, might not secure a spot among the nine councillors, let alone Alkaid becoming the chairman?"

She shook her head: "How is that possible."

"This is true."

Lin Xia wasn't surprised by Su Yaoyu's reaction at all.

After all...

When Su Chiming first called her, her reaction upon learning the truth wasn't much better than Su Yaoyu's.

But for more than a decade, she had been Su Chiming's right hand, and quite often, things that Su Chiming came into contact with meant that she was exposed to them as well.

After several days of verification, although she still couldn't fathom how the Su Family had managed to leap four levels, jumping directly from a non-noble family to a powerful force replacing the Royal Liao Family, the events had indeed happened, leaving her no choice but to believe.

And in the past few days, the news of Alkaid reaching Martial Saint had also spread.

A nineteen-year-old Martial Saint!

After learning this, she somewhat understood why the Su Family could secure that position.

When one person achieves the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven—there's no better example than this.

The Su Family had completely risen to prominence, basking in Alkaid's glory.

She anticipated this day would come.

But that should have been ten or twenty years from now—she didn't expect...

That day would come so soon.

"Director Su Huaigu is already scouting for a new headquarters for Bu Zhou Group in the capital. Unless something unexpected happens, Bu Zhou Group should relocate to the capital in the next few months to facilitate the promotion and expansion of the national plan, while the Star Cosmos Center in Tian Nan...

will serve as the branch office for Tian Nan Province," Lin Xia clarified with distinct articulation.

Su Yaoyu looked at Lin Xia, who was all serious, and seemed to finally realize something after a while.

So...

"What you're saying... is it true?"

Lin Xia nodded slightly.

Su Yaoyu's expression was somewhat dazed.

So...

The Su Family, which couldn't even rank among the top hundred families nationwide, soared to one of the top ten major families in the country in one breath!?

And even replaced the Royal Liao Family, becoming one of the few leading noble families?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This news...

She needed to properly digest it.

Shortly after, there seemed to be a commotion outside.

Su Yaoyu heard the noise and snapped back to reality.

"It's Yaoxue, Yaoshuang, they're here."

She hurriedly said, "Let them in."

Lin Xia nodded and called out.

Soon, the door to the chairman's office opened, and Su Yaoxue and Su Yaoshuang quickly walked in.

"Is the news true!? Our Su Family has not only finally ascended to being a noble family, but also replaced the Royal Liao Family to become the first noble family of Dayu!?"

Su Yaoxue asked impatiently as soon as she entered.

Su Yaoyu was stunned. She had only just learned of the news herself, how could Su Yaoxue...

Stay tuned to empire

Seem to know even earlier than she did?

"Where did you get the news?"

"Bu Zhou Group's activities have been unusual for over a month, everything proceeding without a hitch across various sectors, even meddling in key industries like electricity, water, and gas. This anomaly caught my attention, naturally prompting me to investigate. Moreover, starting a month ago, the dealings of my company... began to get...

strange..." Su Yaoxue said, her expression turning peculiar, "Many related businessmen have been going out of their way to do business with me... and it's not just doing business, rather, they seemed to be pleadingly offering me money under the guise of business. These companies weren't just from Tian Nan but also included those from other provinces..."

She glanced at Su Yaoyu, "Anyone could see there was something fishy about such events. I deliberately pursued the matter, and after relentless inquiries to the head of a company owned by the Yue Family, I learned about the Liao Family's devolution of power that happened over a month ago, and it was our Su Family that forced that shift."

Su Yaoyu looked at Su Yaoxue...

Feeling somewhat ashamed.

She, replacing her grandfather at the helm of Bu Zhou Group, had better access to information channels, yet only sensed something was wrong today, after talking to Lin Xia about the truth.

Yet Su Yaoxue...

With lower status, position, channels, and resources than her, had managed to learn the news earlier through her keen sense of smell.

In this regard, her ability...

Clearly fell short of her younger sister's.

"I wasn't sure, I just asked Lin Xia today..."

Su Yaoyu said.

Before she could finish, Su Yaoxue interrupted her, "Wait, let me guess!"

She looked at Lin Xia, "Su Alkaid... broke through to Martial Saint, right?"

Lin Xia was somewhat surprised.

However, faced with her question, she still nodded.

"It really is true..."

Su Yaoxue's eyes widened suddenly.

The news of Alkaid being a Grandmaster, she had already found out afterward.

But...

Although a nineteen-year-old Grandmaster has an extraordinary influence, he definitely isn't capable of summoning the nine Noble Families to force the Liao Family to decentralize their royal power.

Therefore, she boldly speculated that Alkaid, with his exceptional talents, had become a Martial Saint at the age of nineteen.

Only a nineteen-year-old Martial Saint, who is anticipated to travel even further on the Martial Path, could attract the nine Noble Families to place their bets on him and unite around him.

That is the only logical possibility for the Su Family to become the foremost Noble Family in Dayu.

Unexpectedly...

This guess was actually correct!?

"The matter of Dayu Country's political restructuring has been widely discussed recently, with the separation of powers into one primary and two auxiliary authorities; local governments, the Grand Procuratorate, all must act in accordance with administrative guidelines set by the Supreme Council.

In other words, the members of the Supreme Council are now the true decision-makers of Dayu, and of the ten seats in the Supreme Council...Master Alkaid holds one, and it's the most significant position of Chairman,"

Lin Xia nodded slightly and said, "We do not know what agreement Master Alkaid has reached with the nine Noble Families, but from now on, Dayu should establish a political system centered around Master Alkaid."

"Chairman..."

Su Yaoxue listened to Lin Xia's words and felt as if the world had taken on an unreal quality.

"Can a Martial Saint... really have such great influence?"

Su Yaoyu, who was not from the Martial Arts World, found it somewhat hard to believe.

"Miss Yaoyu should really update herself on this matter. No matter how technology advances, no matter how strong a country's military is or how prosperous its economy, the essence of power structures, nations, and societies ultimately comes down to people. And a Martial Saint... represents the pinnacle of human existence,"

Lin Xia said.

Martial Artists don't need to confront the world.

As long as he possesses the strength to triumph over any individual, naturally, the human world will revolve around him.

"So..."

At this moment, Su Yaoshuang, who had crowded around to listen in and had followed the conversation for a while, chimed in, "Our Su Family... from now on, should we be known as the Royal Family of Dayu? Are we... all princes and princesses?"

"Dayu... is unlikely to maintain a constitutional monarchy any longer."

Lin Xia said with a smile, "However, if you were to refer to yourself as such from now on, it would indeed be appropriate."

"In other words, I can take fierce revenge against those women from the Ye Family?"

Su Yaoshuang's eyes lit up.

"Yaoshuang!"

Su Yaoyu quickly shouted, "Regardless of the current situation, this is not a reason for you to act arrogantly and presumptuously."

"Why can't I?"

Su Yaoshuang argued with conviction, "I'm a common person. With status and capability, why can't I pay back those who bullied us?"

She glanced at Su Yaoxue next to her, "You don't want to seek justice for our second sister, do you?"

Su Yaoyu frowned and after a moment, she said, "The current situation is obviously not yet completely stable. Don't cause trouble for Grandpa and Alkaid."

"I understand."

Su Yaoshuang nodded obediently, "I'll be soft when I need to be and assertive when I should be. For now, I won't do anything. Once the situation settles, it won't be too late to seek revenge. The people from the Ye Family and those who spread rumors about me are all noted in my little book."

Seeing this, Su Yaoyu was somewhat helpless.

This sister of mine...

If she is not properly guided, she might really become a spoiled scion.

However, Su Yaoxue remained unaffected by Su Yaoshuang's talk of "revenge" against the Ye Family.

At the moment, she was completely immersed in the energy that a "Martial Saint" possessed.

Practice martial arts!

She too had practiced!

She even obtained a Martial Artist certificate.

But her initial reason for practicing martial arts was merely to have the ability to protect herself in dangerous situations.

Her real time and energy were still invested in business management.

Moreover, by relying on her perseverance, savvy, and vision, she had managed to increase her assets tenfold in an extremely short amount of time.

But now, seeing that Alkaid had transformed Dayu's Su Family from struggling to becoming the number one Noble Family in just a few months after becoming a Martial Saint, turned the tide completely!

This ability, this deterrence, this influence...

Was so much higher than what she had achieved in business, it was incomparable.

Even though she knew that geniuses like Alkaid were beyond normal reasoning and might only appear once every few decades or even centuries, his achievements...

Yet they showed her a clear and broad path.

They made her truly realize how to truly master her own destiny and protect herself and the people close to her!

"Martial Saint!"

Su Yaoxue, uttering these two words, completely pushed aside thoughts of her company and the grudges against the Ye Family, with only one belief in her heart!

"I must practice martial arts!"

...

Alkaid had no longer paid much attention to the incidents taking place in Tian Nan.

Emperor Yu's Mountain.

After completing preliminary governance, he once again gathered his Life Force Field together.

Once the Life Force Field was gathered, the efficiency with which he treated his own injuries greatly increased.

Nearly every day, he was one step closer to full recovery.

In just one week, his physical condition had almost completely returned to normal.

And thanks to the mental and willpower forging from this battle of life and death, his cultivation of Divine Intent had also achieved some results, stepping into the realm of Divine Intent.

With his body recovered, Alkaid was not planning to continue playing guessing games with the Rebirth Society.

He went straight to Zong Yan, "Have the true decision-makers of the Relief Society come see me. We must clarify why this world has turned into what it is now."
