Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Goodbye, Chen Zihuan!
Concerning the visit from the Ying Family, Huang Xiaolong generally knew the reason for it…
It was no more than what he had suggested to Ying Aoshan had come true!
Ying Aoshan was worried about her life so she gingerly came to negotiate with Huang Xiaolong.
“What did the people from the Ying Family say?” Huang Xiaolong asked leisurely.
“It was… it was an old servant of Miss Ying Aoshan… Uncle Yun. He was the old man who hosted the piano competition at the Green Willow Villa…” Sun Hu licked his lips and said, “Uncle Yun was very courteous. When he found us to meet with you, Master Long, we told him that you were resting. He was not imposing, just left a message and left.”
“Uncle Yun invited you, Master Long, and us, people from the Sun Family, to attend a banquet…” Suddenly, Sun Hu’s face was flushed and filled with excitement, “The banquet is to celebrate a significant figure’s birthday.”
“Oh?” Huang Xiaolong was taken aback for a moment.
“Master Long, it’s the birthday banquet of Old Master Jin Zai Shan…” Sun Hu expressed his shock, “Old Master Jin is turning 100 this year which is not a small feat. He is a local tycoon in Jiangnan City and holds an extremely prestigious status. On the surface, Old Master Jin is a highly respected calligrapher with disciples all over the world. But in truth, he is also an ancient martial arts practitioner. The Jin Family is the number one ancient martial arts family here in Jiangnan City, with more than a thousand disciples. The Jin Family keeps a low profile, not even participating in the annual Jiangnan City Martial Arts Competition. If a disciple or member of the Jin Family competed, all the other ancient martial arts families would have to bow down to them. Even the Wei Family would be like ants before the Jin Family!”
“People say that the number one family in Jiangnan City is the Chen Family, but in terms of background, the Chen Family cannot match the Jin Family. It’s just that the Jin Family has kept a low profile and avoids disputes with the world.” The shocked expression in Sun Hu’s eyes intensified. “The Jin Family also has countless connections with the Ying Family. Rumors say that Old Master Jin’s wife is actually… surnamed Ying! In other words, Old Master Jin is the Ying Family’s son-in-law! Tonight, at Old Master Jin’s centennial birthday banquet, the invited guests are not many, but they are the top dignitaries in Jiangnan City, which also include major families such as the Ying Family. Even the Wei Family didn’t receive an invitation! For our Sun Family, we would never qualify on our own. Unexpectedly, this time we are able to attend due to riding on your, Master Long’s coattails!”
It goes without saying that if the Sun family can get close to the Jin family of Jiangnan City, the benefits are self-evident.
“Hee hee ~~ It seems that Ying Aoshan intends to appease me… Instead of directly asking me to treat her terminal illness, she provides me with some benefits first by allowing members of the Sun family to rub shoulders with Old Master Jin in Jiangnan City… Well, Ying Aoshan is indeed a talented individual groomed by the major martial arts families. She’s adept at both social and political dealings.”
Huang Xiaolong contemplated.
“Master Long, do you think we should go or not?” Sun Hu asked in a tremulous voice, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“It seems you all are eager to go. Then let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong said, smiling indifferently. “Tonight we will attend the centennial birthday banquet of Old Master Jin, and then go boxing with Wei Feiyang. You can arrange these two events, this afternoon I’ll take Sister Bai Hu out to play.”
“Yes, Master Long, you can rest assured, we will arrange everything properly.” Sun Hu said, bowing deeply.
After lunch, Huang Xiaolong took Sun Wei out of the hotel to visit nearby tourist attractions.
It seems that the hidden owner of the Carnival Grand Hotel is terrifyingly powerful. The incident in the early morning didn’t spread through the street gossip, and the authorities didn’t report it!
However, Huang Xiaolong didn’t care. Sooner or later, he will eradicate that menace.
It was not until the evening that Sun Hu drove over and picked up Huang Xiaolong and Sun Wei. Led by an impressive fleet of the Sun Family’s cars, they headed towards the residence of Old Master Jin to attend the top-tier banquet!
In the car, Sun Hu, Sun Wei, and other members of the Sun family were all nervously excited, and faintly felt a little inferior. After all, their status was far from the Jin family in Jiangnan City. The fact that they could attend this banquet today was entirely due to Huang Xiaolong.
However, Huang Xiaolong was as composed as usual, seemingly indifferent to everything.
The residence of the Jin Family!
A private property located on a hill, with red walls and green tiles, exuding an antiquated elegance!
Located amid mountains and rivers, the residence was a feng shui treasure, steeped in cultural atmosphere!
Members of the Sun Family parked their cars at the foot of the mountain, and then, taking Huang Xiaolong as the center, they walked up the mountain on foot.
They soon came to a garden.
There were already many guests gathered in the garden, all of them distinguished and clearly of great wealth. They exuded the aura of high society with every move they made.
On the treetops, under the eaves, there were many festive red lanterns hung with the word “longevity” written on them.
Huang Xiaolong saw that the people in charge of welcoming the guests were all dressed in unified practice uniforms. They were either members of the Jin Family or disciples and students of Old Master Jin, each one neither humble nor haughty, demonstrating the great elegance of noble families.
Among them, some had bulging temples, clearly ancient martial arts experts, Huang Xiaolong recognized several semi-Grandmasters, even those who had condensed True Qi within their bodies, genuine ancient martial arts Grandmasters!
‘Hehe~~Indeed, fame is not unfounded. This Jin Family is quite powerful… At least the four big families of Binhai can’t compare with the Jin Family. Even if the four Binhai families joined forces, they can’t surpass the Jin Family.’ Huang Xiaolong said with a casual smile.
Sun Hu and the other members of the Sun Family were even more apprehensive, not knowing what to do with their hands and feet.
“Giggling~~ Young Master Huang, you have arrived.” A charming female voice drifted over on the wind.
Following the sound, Huang Xiaolong saw Ying Aoshan approaching elegantly.
Following her was Uncle Yun.
Today, Ying Aoshan wore modern clothes instead of her divine dress. Her hands were soft, skin was like condensed fat, neck was slender, teeth like hucishi, eyebrows like butterflies, with entrancing smiles and charming eyes.
She was too beautiful, too stunning!
Sun Wei and the others from the Sun Family had eyes wide open in awe.
Within the garden, other guests also shifted their attention, their eyes lingered on Ying Aoshan’s face, which was enough to make nations and cities fall.
“Young Master Huang, that noon, you really didn’t give me any face, did you~~” there was no sign of anger on Ying Aoshan, she seemed very relaxed and magnanimous.
“Hahaha, Young Master Huang, you are very interesting.” Uncle Yun also laughed on the side.
“Oh. That’s just how I am.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Eh? Miss Ying Aoshan, aren’t you always known for hiding your true face and giving people a mysterious feeling? Why are you so open today?”
“Young Master Huang is teasing me.” Ying Aoshan gave a charming smile. “Today is the centennial birthday celebration of Old Master Jin. How could I, Aoshan, be pretentious? By the way, I, Aoshan, and Old Master Jin are relatives.”
Huang Xiaolong laughed lightly, thinking that the Ying Family and Jin Family indeed had a close relationship.
With the Ying Family as their backer, naturally, no one dare provoke the Jin Family in Jiangnan City.
Even the Chen Family must bow their heads.
However, the Jin Family did not crave dominance.
Just at this moment!
“Humph!” A sound filled with disgust and malice echoed.
Huang Xiaolong looked over and saw a well-dressed man glaring at him.
This man, gaze full of suspicion, greed, anger, resentment, aiming at Huang Xiaolong…
If it wasn’t Chen Zihuan, then who else could it be?
“Oh? Hahahaha~~~~~” A hint of a killing intent flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, but he immediately burst into a hearty laugh, and walked towards Chen Zihuan. “Young Master Chen, long time no see! Hahaha~~~ Those three people you sent that day, wanted to invite me to Jiangnan City. However, I didn’t want to come at that time, so, I … haha~~ ended them. Young Master Chen, you wanted me to come to Jiangnan City a lot, didn’t you? Look, didn’t I come here now?”
“You!” Killing intent flashed wildly in Chen Zihuan’s eyes.
“Zihuan, who is this?” Chen Zihuan’s father, Chen Xiong, holding a wine glass, walked over.
