Chapter 726: Chapter 0726: An Family Birthday Banquet

Chen Cang also took the opportunity to hit it off with the three ladies, discussing some specialties and consumer venues of Wubei City.

The others continued to feel drowsy, only Mo Hongsheng and Xiao Wen were on tenterhooks the entire way, cautious and fearful, since anyone being watched by two masters of poison would be terrified.

Originally, Tang Ming had planned to take this chance to probe into the Mo Family’s secrets, but unfortunately, as the driver, he simply had no time to communicate with Mo Hongsheng and had to drive attentively.

After the car arrived in Wubei City, Mo Hongsheng and Xiao Wen were the first to disembark, ending this suffocating journey.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tianyuan Da Hotel in Wubei City, the best hotel around. And it’s fully booked, if I hadn’t pulled some strings, we wouldn’t have been able to reserve any rooms," Chen Cang said proudly, dragging his suitcase and pointing at the hotel that was as splendid as Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel.

After all, the Chen Family was once one of the four big business families, so they still had former business friends in Wubei City to help solve the accommodation issue without a problem.

"Little Cang Cang is really amazing, to have acquaintances even in Wubei City, wow," Li Xiaoli said, not skimping on her words of praise, and shouted excitedly.

"Is this hotel clean?" Liu Mengting looked at the hotel in front of her with trepidation, as the night she spent in Jun Tianhao Grand Hotel had already traumatized her about staying in hotels.

"Don’t worry, Tianyuan Da is a nationally renowned five-star hotel, the service and hygiene are definitely up to standard," Chen Cang, not knowing about the haunted incident, thought Liu Mengting was worried about hygiene and immediately reassured her with a pat on his chest.

"Don’t be so picky when you’re out and about, I think this place looks pretty good," Tang Ming looked at Liu Mengting and then said with puzzlement, "The address on the invitation is Anle Residence, can’t we stay there?"

"Cough cough!"

Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile and explained, "Anle Residence is not a hotel, but the An Family’s residence. The elder’s birthday celebration is being held at home this time. We’ll stay here for one night and go to the An Family’s place early tomorrow to celebrate."

"I see, so we have to stay here then," Tang Ming nodded in realization, thinking to himself that Elder An really had a sense of style, naming his residence Anle Residence which sounded like some sort of pleasure ground.

"Enough of that, let’s get settled in first, then hit the shops right away, it’s shopping time," Li Xiaoli was unconcerned with the details, dragging her suitcase and dashing into the hotel lobby first.

The rest followed one after another, with the group steadily getting settled into the hotel.

Since Li Xiaoli and the others had slept all the way in the car, they immediately clamored to go shopping upon arrival.

Tang Ming had no desire to move around, using the excuse of being tired from driving to duck into his room to sleep, declining to join the group’s shopping spree. However, he sent Xin Badao and Chu Batian to ensure the safety of the three women, and with Chen Cang, a special martial master, present, even in Wubei City where dragons and snakes mingled, no one could harm the three girls.

The influence of the An Family was not small; as Divine Doctor An was celebrating his birthday, many families of martial arts and big forces would give face, so at this point, Wubei City was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with personnel from all forces already in place. With the beauty of Liu Mengting and the other girls, parading through the city would surely attract troublemakers.

Fortunately, Xin Badao and Chu Batian were always by the three ladies’ side, and after dismissing several well-meaning but meddlesome characters, no one else dared to trouble the trio, making their shopping trip quite delightful.

Nothing noteworthy happened overnight, and early the next day, Tang Ming drove a minibus full of people to An Le Ju, located at the foot of Xianyue Mountain in Wubei City.

The An Family’s An Le Ju was an imposing estate occupying the entire foot of Xianyue Mountain. At this time, the exterior of the estate was filled with various luxury cars, resembling a major car exhibition. All these vehicles were those of the guests who had come to celebrate the senior Mr. An’s birthday.

Everyone, to flaunt their wealth and status, made sure their vehicle was as luxurious as possible—when leaving the house, they had to present an impressive scene.

In such an atmosphere, a minibus emblazoned with the word "commuter" slowly approached the entrance of the An Family’s estate.

"A minibus?"

The three individuals welcoming guests at the entrance were surprised to see the minibus. Two youth and a middle-aged man, all dressed in suits, looked distinguished.

Family Head An Zhongcai and his two sons, An Sheng and An Tian, stood at the entrance to welcome guests. Although the An Family was also a Martial Arts Family, many of the Wulin guests arriving to give birthday greetings were not less influential than the An Family. They could not afford to be discourteous, so An Zizai instructed the family head and his two direct descendants to receive the guests at the entrance as a sign of respect.

"The license plate is from Songlan City."

An Sheng frowned, annoyed, and said, "What does it take for our family’s birthday banquet? Coming in a group by minibus to offer birthday greetings is embarrassing."

"Indeed, it seems rather disrespectful. Who could it be?"

An Zhongcai frowned discontentedly and looked at An Sheng and An Tian as he asked, "The old man mentioned someone from Songlan City, a Tang Ming. We must welcome him properly; keep your eyes peeled."

Upon hearing this, An Sheng’s complexion became somewhat unnatural. He had had a conflict with Tang Ming before, and it was also he who had leaked the news of Tang Ming’s ruined cultivation. Now having to welcome Tang Ming, he felt a bit uneasy.

Meanwhile, An Tian was somewhat disappointed. He was now a Four-star Martial Master, and one important reason for his dedication to cultivation was his desire to defeat Tang Ming. However, with Tang Ming having lost his cultivation, he lost a strong competitor, which was a shame.

Previously, An Tian had challenged Tang Ming twice and lost both times. For someone as competitive as he was, failure served as motivation to progress, so losing Tang Ming as a rival felt very regrettable.

As they talked, a golden Rolls-Royce almost simultaneously stopped alongside the minibus.

When Tang Ming and others got off the bus, An Sheng and An Tian promptly went up to welcome him, while An Zhongcai, though he spoke of the importance of not neglecting Tang Ming, immediately took several key members of the An Family towards the Rolls-Royce. His principal role as family head standing there was to greet those few important figures.

"Tang Ming, long time no see. Has your cultivation recovered?"

After approaching, An Tian stared at Tang Ming with eagerness to fight and asked.

"Big brother, today is your grandfather’s birthday. Even if my cultivation had recovered, would you still want to fight?"

Tang Ming gave An Tian a speechless look, thinking to himself that the man must have gone simple-minded from all the martial arts training.

"We can refrain from fighting today, but if your cultivation has recovered, I can fight with you tomorrow," An Tian said enthusiastically, rubbing his hands together.

"Forget it, my cultivation hasn’t recovered. See, I even brought bodyguards with me, right?"

Tang Ming shook his head and glanced towards Xin Badao and Chu Batian, and then...
