This had practically become common knowledge.
But now, Xiao Chen from Li State had shattered this "common knowledge."
How could they not be shocked?
Grand Elder Yao Dehai was utterly dumbfounded. If he hadn't heard it from Yang Huai'an himself, he never would have believed something so outrageous.
The first time he'd seen the name Xiao Chen was in a letter from the Chen Family.
In the letter, Chen Tianyuan had specifically asked him to help look after Chen Zhi'an, Chen Zhiquan, and Xiao Chen.
This was especially true for Xiao Chen, who was an alchemy genius.
Thus, they required special protection and shouldn't be assigned to any place too dangerous.
Yao Dehai sat to the side, pondering for a long while, but he couldn't figure it out. 'Since Xiao Chen is so powerful, was it really necessary to pull strings for him in advance?'
Topping the last monthly report had been shocking enough.
