"The Yue Family is truly serious this ti!"
Li Tianchong smiled as he spoke, "To thoroughly eliminate the Lyu Family and the Lin Family without damaging the attic, and to not affect tomorrow’s birthday banquet, they deployed Ancestor Yue, Ancestor Lan, and Elder Brother Shao Ting to enforce an aura lockdown."
"And it’s these three who personally took action to deal with the people from both families. A Saint Realm Expert and two strong practitioners who have almost stepped into the Saint Realm, that action probably left the mbers of the Lyu and Lin Families not even knowing how they died!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tianchong’s eyes brimd with profound aning as he looked towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen slightly smiled, mouthing to Li Tianchong: "Cultivation Technique."
Li Tianchong’s eyes lit up, nodding in understanding.
He was curious how Jiang Chen had found out; if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have said such a thing.
Due to the reason of the Cultivation Technique, Li Tianchong accepted it, as after all, Jiang Chen is the Dragon Descendant, and having a special Cultivation Technique is quite normal.
"This..."
"Goodness, they take it this seriously?! The three strongest individuals taking personal action?!"
"If the people from the Lyu and Lin Families knew that it was Ancestor Yue and the others personally taking action, even in death, they would feel honored, right? In the Martial Dao World, there aren’t many who could have Saint Realm Experts personally strike them down!"
Everyone was montarily stunned, exclaiming in unison.
"Alright, everyone, go rest," Jiang Chen said with a smile, waving his hand as he got up and walked towards the bedrooms upstairs.
...
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, the young and won mbers of the Yue Family busily got to work.
Jiang Chen and the others couldn’t help much, so they sat and chatted casually in the main hall of the VIP building.
Bang bang bang!
Just before noon, a series of knocking sounds arose.
Yan Hu stood up and opened the door, bringing Yue Zhenfeng inside.
"Mr. Jiang, most of the guests have already arrived; Grandfather sent to call you!" Yue Zhenfeng said with a light laugh.
"Okay, let’s go!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
The group walked out of the attic and headed towards the guest hall where the birthday banquet was being held on the third floor.
"Haha..."
"Long ti no see!"
"Let’s drink a few more today!"
As soon as they reached the third floor of the guest hall, the bustling chatter reached them, and Jiang Chen and the others turned to look.
The third floor of the guest hall was a small banquet hall with twelve tables arranged; four at the front row, five in the middle, and three at the very back.
The first row of four tables were occupied by the Yue Family, Yu Family, Zhuo Family, and Cao Family mbers; the five tables in the second row were occupied by Jiang Chen’s old acquaintances from the Five Great Martial Dao Families along the river; the third row of tables was completely empty, not a single person seated, and moreover, there was not a single elder present.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen and the others understood; the older generation must all be with Elder Yue.
"Mr. Jiang is here!"
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
Upon seeing Jiang Chen and the others arrive, people from the Yue Family, Yu Family, and other families rose to their feet and greeted Jiang Chen with clasped fists.
"Hey, look at them!"
"What’s going on?"
"What are they going to do?"
"They are heading towards Mr. Jiang!"
The Yue Family and other families all watched in surprise as the people from the Five Great Families along the river front got up and started walking towards Jiang Chen.
"Big brother, how co you are here too?" Lou Qiangqiang was the first to run up to Jiang Chen, joyfully exclaiming.
Jiang Chen smiled gently, "Why? Can’t I co?"
"Of course, you can! Who else but big brother can go anywhere!" Lou Qiangqiang slapped on a flattering complint.
Jiang Chen cast a glance at Lou Qiangqiang, "You little rascal."
"Nice to et you, Mr. Jiang!"
"Mr. Jiang, I didn’t expect you to be here!"
"Mr. Jiang, it’s really been a long ti!"
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
The people from the Five Great Families along the river greeted Jiang Chen with a smile and saluted with clasped hands.
"Hello everyone! Indeed, it has been a long ti!" Jiang Chen raised his hand and returned the salute.
"Wow, Mr. Jiang knows the people from the Five Great Families along the river!"
"It seems that the people from the Five Great Families respect Mr. Jiang a lot, even the five Family Heads went up to greet him!"
"Mr. Jiang is too aweso! Even our family head uncle can’t achieve this!"
"Amazing! Mr. Jiang is truly my idol!"
The people from the Yue Family and Yu Family all exclaid in astonishnt.
From the Cao Family, Cao Yan watched Jiang Chen, who was surrounded by people from the Five Great Families, her expression ugly and resentful.
"Yan’er, don’t provoke Mr. Jiang anymore." Cao Bingcheng, noticing Cao Yan’s unusual deanor, spoke quietly.
Cao Yan said resentfully, "Dad, I can’t swallow this insult!"
"You have to swallow it. Didn’t you see? The Five Great Families along the river are all very respectful towards Mr. Jiang. The Yue Family, Yu Family, and other families have all changed their attitude towards him. This must have sothing to do with their conversation after we left yesterday. And have you noticed that the people from the Lyu Family and Lin Family are all gone?" Cao Bingcheng spoke quietly.
Cao Yan suddenly awoke, glanced around the banquet hall, and said in surprise, "Where did the people from the Lyu Family and Lin Family go?"
"Let’s not talk about this now, in any case, don’t provoke Mr. Jiang again."
Cao Bingcheng’s expression was sowhat unpleasant.
This morning, Yue Wujie visited, finding Cao Old Grandpa and Cao Old Master in their attic. The three of them conversed unknown matters. After Yue Wujie left, Cao Old Grandpa called Cao Bingcheng over and sternly warned him not to provoke Jiang Chen anymore, and to keep an eye on Cao Yan. If Cao Yan provoked Jiang Chen again, she would be dealt with by family law!
"Let’s not stand around anymore, let’s take our seats!" Yue Zhenfeng, surprised to see Jiang Chen, called out with a light laugh.
"Big brother, let’s sit together!" Lou Qiangqiang pulled Jiang Chen’s arm and invited.
Yue Zhenfeng quickly interjected, "Young Master Lou, that won’t do, Mr. Jiang is supposed to sit at the main table!"
"Ah? Is that so? Right, big brother should sit at the main table wherever he goes!" Lou Qiangqiang was startled and slapped another flattering remark.
"Zhen Feng, let Hu Zi and others join Qiangqiang’s table, there are empty seats there, right?" Jiang Chen looked towards Yue Zhenfeng and spoke softly.
Yue Zhenfeng nodded, "Yes, each table has two empty seats reserved in case any family brings more people."
"Dong Yu and Ying Zi will join our table!" Dong Yu stepped forward, hooking Song Wanqiu’s arm and said with a light laugh.
Song Wanqiu glanced at Yue Zhenfeng, then turned to look at Jiang Chen.
"That’s fine, join Dong Yu at their table," Jiang Chen nodded in agreent.
Yue Zhenfeng looked gratefully at Dong Yu.
Dong Yu had thus spared him an awkward situation. Originally, Song Wanqiu was his fiancée and was supposed to be placed at his table. However, now that Song Wanqiu had called off the engagent, it would be inappropriate to arrange her at his table, and he couldn’t take the initiative to reassign her. Now, Dong Yu’s initiative had helped him out of a bind.
"Then let’s assign ourselves. Hu Zi, join our table!" Lou Qiangqiang grabbed Yan Hu’s arm.
