143: Chapter 110: Chen Family’s Birthday Banquet, Meeting of Various Parties (First Update) 143: Chapter 110: Chen Family’s Birthday Banquet, Meeting of Various Parties (First Update) “Secretary Holvren, I’ll arrive on time.”

Qin Shi shut off his terminal, closed his eyes silently, and set an alarm for twenty minutes of deep sleep.

Facing the highly respected old seniors who had come all the way from Heng Province, he needed to present his best condition.

Moments later, after a brief rest that felt like opening and closing his eyes, Qin Shi’s energy bar was refilled, as if his body had been rebooted.

He stood up and took the elevator upstairs, looking at Lin Yunqing, who was leisurely touching up her makeup:

“Ms.

Lin, shall I accompany you to Uncle Chen’s birthday banquet later?”

Huh, did I hear that right?

Lin Yunqing instinctively doubted her ears, staring blankly at the approaching Qin Shi.

“Birthday banquet?”

Qin Shi frowned slightly.

How could this dumb woman not comprehend?

“Yes, isn’t Uncle Chen hosting a birthday banquet?”

He’s actually talking to me!

Lin Yunqing confirmed her hearing was correct and was overjoyed.

As expected, Assistant Qin has a soft heart despite his harsh words.

“Great, great!”

She nodded repeatedly, then seemed to remember something, and ran upstairs in her high heels.

Her movements were very agile, her skirt slit flying, revealing her well-rounded, muscular long legs.

“Witnessing such a beautiful scene, my heart remains unfazed; it seems Ms.

Lin’s physical charm is maxed out.”

Qin Shi shook his head, familiarly taking a can of high-energy food from the fridge.

The enormous consumption of energy from battling ten people drained his mortal body almost dry.

If it were not for being in the second rebirth stage, with life force surging like fountains, continuously nourishing the life seed, Qin Shi would have been exhausted after defeating the third opponent.

“Once breaking through the great limit and entering the stage of new rebirth, it feels like eating and drinking water both increase life force.”

He quickly consumed the high-energy food can, then introspected.

His limbs, torso, even his bones, had completely turned a deep purple color, radiating intense heat.

“I wonder if transforming into gold will upgrade ‘Muscle Memory,’ the changes brought by a legendary talent are immense.”

Qin Shi envied the once-listed optional ‘Perfect Body.’ If he could capture and refine it, he would break through four limits steadily.

Combined with the completed divine barrier, he would surpass half of the seven great limits of the mortal body!

“Come on, Assistant Qin.

Quickly try on this suit and see if it fits!”

Lin Yunqing, overjoyed, held up a hanger with a full set of navy blue suits.

Qin Shi took it, feeling the material.

The texture was top-notch and very high-end.

“You even prepared clothes.”

He took the suit, refusing to change on the spot, and silently went to the bathroom.

Minutes later, he walked out again.

“I really do have a good eye!”

Lin Yunqing said with satisfaction, circling around Qin Shi.

The navy blue was steady and elegant, giving people a rather “solid” impression.

Generally speaking, it would easily oppress someone too young, while someone too young wouldn’t appear dignified enough.

But on Qin Shi, it fit perfectly, masking the youthful vibe without making him appear to be pretending to be mature.

“I said, Assistant Qin should wear dark and elegant colors.

Xiao Yun insisted on choosing burgundy or pure white, which are too eye-catching and gaudy, not matching your temperament.”

Lin Yunqing commented, as if appreciating a masterpiece, with her eyes sparkling.

“How did this dumb woman know my size…”

Qin Shi felt the suit fit perfectly and suddenly thought of this question.

“Ms.

Lin, when did you buy this suit?

It’s so well-fitted.”

Lin Yunqing’s eyes flickered upon hearing this and she dodged the question:

“Just a couple of days ago when there was nothing to do, accompanying Xiao Yun shopping…

We’re going to be late!

Assistant Qin, hurry up, otherwise we’ll be late!

I’ll go start the car!

Your shoes are in the cabinet!”

The annoying woman grabbed her handbag from the sofa and fled into the elevator.

“Boys should protect themselves well when they’re out.”

Qin Shi shook his head, put on the shiny leather shoes, and stood in front of the mirror at the entrance:

“Truly, you get what you pay for.

An ordinary suit makes you look like a salesman, while a tailored suit makes you look like a young master of a tycoon family.”

He stepped out of the villa, got into the Hanhai Conqueror, and the headlights instantly illuminated, piercing the night sky like two beams of light.

With the roar of the engine, the car drove toward the most prosperous area in the urban circle.

Golden Radiance Mansion, a landmark building in Tai’an, with an impressive 80 stories, resembling a wind-filled sail, stood firmly on the southern bank of the Yuan River.

Tonight, it was bustling with traffic and high-profile guests.

Luxurious cars and official vehicles of all kinds streamed into the underground parking lot one after another.

Chen Ruofu, a prominent figure in the Tai’an Metropolitan Area as the Inspection Department Director, also served as the General Affairs Department Head, holding significant power.

In ancient times, this position would be equivalent to a high-ranking general commanding tens of thousands of troops, worthy of the term “prominent figure.”

His grand birthday banquet naturally attracted many guests eager to offer their congratulations.

“Creating such a grand scene, people might think I’m trying to use this occasion to amass wealth.”

Chen Ruofu, dressed in a traditional Chinese tunic suit, stepped out of the car and looked at the lively scene with a slight frown.

He turned and asked, “Was this organized by A Zhou, Secretary Holvren?”

Holvren lowered his head and did not answer directly, only offering a tactful explanation:

“Brother Zhou wanted to show his filial piety, hoping to make you, the Minister, look grand and dignified, so he widely distributed invitations.”

Chen Ruofu knew that it was his eldest son’s doing and did not blame Secretary Holvren:

“Taking advantage of his father’s still being in office, he uses the power to boost his presence and make connections.

A Zhou has too many little clever tricks and isn’t good at anything in particular.

People respect me and thus are willing to pay him attention, not because he is capable himself.”

Holvren remained silent; it was not his place to meddle in his leader’s family affairs.

“Did those I invited agree to come?”

Chen Ruofu asked.

“Mr.

Qin is on his way.

The senior from Heng Province Martial Arts Association refused our department’s driver service and checked into a suite at the Golden Radiance Hotel with his entourage.

As for Director Lin from Qiguang Heng University’s General Affairs Department, he will arrive later since the Education Department has sent an inspector whom he has to attend to first.”

Holvren reported in detail.

“It’s a stormy situation!

Both sides playing their chess, each wanting to completely overpower the other and drain every piece dry.”

Chen Ruofu entered the building, heading straight to the 72nd floor by elevator, and said contemplatively:

“For Mr.

Qin, send someone to greet him.

When he arrives, take him to the private room on the 69th floor.

As for the senior from Heng Province Martial Arts Association, let’s greet him personally.”

Holvren nodded:

“I have assigned Xiao Xia to handle Mr.

Qin’s reception.

She’s meticulous and won’t make any mistakes.”

The elevator stopped smoothly without any jolt or noise, the iron grate sliding open to both sides.

Chen Ruofu walked out briskly, looking at the bustling scene below:

“Since these people were invited by A Zhou, let him entertain them properly.

Tell him clearly, none of them are allowed upstairs.

If anyone disrupts my important affairs, I will break his leg as a birthday gift!”

Holvren felt a chill in his heart and quickly responded affirmatively.

The suite on the 68th floor was incredibly quiet, like an isolated world, with no outside noise invading even slightly.

All the sofas and chairs had been moved out, leaving only soft wool carpets laid on the floor.

In the spacious central room, incense burners, meditation gongs, and a few cushion stools were placed.

An elderly man, withered and with deep-set eyes, hunched over, his head drooping as if dozing off.

He wore a large robe, exuding the dignity of an ancient high-born.

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man, kneeling with his hands on his knees, saying softly:

“Teacher, He Lanchan’s ‘Void Meditation Scripture’ has been lost several times and now it appears in the hands of a high school student.

Chen Ruofu claims he has received the Martial God’s legacy, which seems to be an exceedingly absurd rumor.”

The elderly man breathed as if through a porous house, with a weak life force barely flowing through his body.

He spoke slowly, each word enunciated with great care:

“Dongxia has produced many outstanding people and heroes; nothing is impossible.

He Lanchan almost crossed the threshold of the path to the Martial God, an unrestrained Martial God!

In terms of honor, He Lanchan was no match for Qi Wuxiang, but on the path of the Martial Artist, the former actually ventured further.”

The middle-aged man remained skeptical.

The more he knew about He Lanchan and his legendary exploits, the more he understood the difficulty of that path.

For many, even gaining an entrance was a luxury.

“How does Teacher plan to verify him?”

He asked.

“I…”

The withered old man raised his head:

“I just need to see him once.

To walk He Lanchan’s path and learn his skills, one must possess the composure of a Stone Buddha.”

What does it mean to have the composure of a Stone Buddha?

Remaining calm in the face of Mount Tai’s collapse?

Or a heart raging like thunder, but a face like a calm lake?

The middle-aged man showed a puzzled expression but did not voice it.

“He is arriving soon.

I will bring him here for you to see.”

The old man shook his head in disagreement:

“No need.

Just give him this.

If he truly has inherited He Lanchan’s mantle and learned the ‘Void Meditation Technique,’ what I want to see will appear naturally.”

He took out an object from his sleeve, a palm-sized clay tablet covered in intricate patterns, resembling nested ring formations.

“It’s actually this.”

The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank as he received it solemnly with both hands.

“By the way, Teacher, the inspector sent by the Central City Education Department arrived in Tai’an yesterday.

The New Martial Sect, relying on their momentum, has been suppressing us, trying to seize our heritage and cultivation techniques, gathering the strength of a hundred sects to forge a new path…”

The old man raised his hand, interrupting the increasingly impassioned words of the middle-aged man:

“Xiao Dao, as martial artists, we must hold on to our spirit and our sword.

The sword is in the heart, symbolizing ‘endurance.’ Sometimes, enduring anger, shame, and rage is not bad.

What others do is their business.

Just uphold your own path.”

The middle-aged man seemed resentful but did not defy his teacher, nodding heavily:

“I understand.”

“Director Lin, Tai’an is truly a land of talent and excellent feng shui.”

The elderly man, dressed in a retro style with a Western flair, said to Lin Xiaohan.

Despite being over sixty, he wore a tailcoat and a top hat.

He stood tall and straight, full of vigor, and spoke with robust energy.

Lin Xiaohan, who was accompanying him, responded:

“After all, it was appointed by Marshal Qin.

They say that during the Great Expedition, when Marshal Qin landed in Tai’an, he said this place hid the winds and gathered the waters and that a great hero would emerge sooner or later.”

The elderly man, who had taken the elevator to the 70th floor, smiled and asked:

“Marshal Qin favored young talents.

I heard that when the Ten Outstanding Students emerged, he, along with Marshal Xiao and Marshal Yang, each picked a few to impart their knowledge.

There are rumors that Marshal Qin personally met He Lanchan.

Is this true?”

The conversation had shifted to the main topic.

Lin Xiaohan felt helpless internally but responded politely:

“It’s possibly true.

There were all kinds of rumors, including that He Lanchan was taken under Marshal Qin’s wing.”

The elderly man sighed softly:

“Breaking through the seven physical limits and achieving spiritual sanctity—a legendary blazing sun.

Yet he still fell silently.

The Star Sea is vast, the world changes, and in the blink of an eye, many of the Ten Original Outstanding Students have passed away.

Only a few remain, and none of the ten greatest prodigies have yet entered the Martial God’s gate.

Director Lin, in my opinion, although old clothes may be good, they require constant mending, which is time-consuming and tiring.

Wouldn’t it be better to adopt new garments, appearing more dignified?

What do you think?”

Even Lin Xiaohan, faced with such a critical question, found it difficult to respond promptly.

Choosing a side should neither be too early nor too late—the former might lead to inescapability, while the latter might make one miss the boat.

He was in a difficult position when his terminal suddenly vibrated:

“Sorry, Inspector Xu, it’s my sister calling.

If I don’t answer, she’ll raise a fuss later.”

The elderly man graciously motioned permission, smiling:

“You’ve accompanied me all day; you should attend to your matters.

Director Lin, let me explore on my own.

No need to provide additional company.”

Lin Xiaohan gave a slight bow and quickly left the corridor, breathing a long sigh of relief.

“Brother, I’m downstairs with Assistant Qin.

Where are you?”

Lin Yunqing’s voice came from the terminal.

Lin Xiaohan steadied his voice:

“You and Mr.

Qin wait a moment, I’ll be right down.”
