"Hu Tomb did not agree." A member of the Zhao Family reported.
"Not unexpected..." Clan elder Zhao Butong leaned on his cane, squinting his eyes and said calmly.
"Just a small test, but did Hu Tomb not give an inch?"
"Hu Tomb has listed Jing Zhuo's name as a candidate for the Marshal position." The Zhao Family member immediately responded.
"Fine, let's see if Jing Zhuo proves himself or not," another clan elder, Zhao Xinlei, said with his eyes closed.
"I heard he's been in seclusion lately, is there a chance for a breakthrough?" Zhao Butong suddenly asked.
The Patriarch of the Zhao Family nodded, "Before Jing Zhuo went into seclusion, I asked him, there's about a thirty percent chance he can open that final Celestial Martial Vein."
"Thirty percent, that's not insignificant..." Zhao Butong nodded.
"Alas, if Jingtian were still alive, there wouldn't be so many issues..." Zhao Lie suddenly scoffed.
