[Second Update] 234: Chapter 233: If You Can’t Do It, Don’t Pretend to Be Cool!

[Second Update] Li Chen had left the Tang Family for a full hour, yet the place was still in an uproar.

Crying, fussing, and arguing, the scene was completely chaotic.

Just then, someone reported that the Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Tianlong, had come to visit.

Hearing of Qin Tianlong’s late-night visit, everyone in the Tang Family was shocked.

Qin Tianlong, as the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance and the right-hand man of Immortal Master Li, had a visit that clearly hinted at ominous tidings.

Instantly, a shadow seemed to cloud the faces of the Tang family members.

Was it not premature for the cleanup of the Dragon Family to reach them when Long Xiaodie was merely from a side branch?

Old Mr.

Tang’s cloudy eyes filled with a pained expression as he looked towards his third son.

Knowing his son’s stubborn nature, he surely would not stand by while his daughter-in-law was taken.

This time, disaster was more likely than luck.

Before Qin Tianlong could step inside, Tang’s father staggered forward to meet him.

“What brings Mr.

Qin here so late at night?”

Qin Tianlong gave a junior’s greeting to Old Mr.

Tang, saying, “I apologize for the late disturbance.

My master, Immortal Master Li, would like to invite Brother Liann Hee over for a talk!”

Initially, the Tang Family held a slight hope.

But when they heard Qin Tianlong specifically summon Tang Lianhe, despair plunged into their hearts.

Knowing the ruthless nature of Immortal Master Li, Tang Lianhe might never return alive.

Old Mr.

Tang, suppressing the grief in his heart, asked, “Mr.

Qin, do you know why the Immortal Master wishes to see my ill-fated son?”

Qin Tianlong smiled and said, “The Immortal Master did not specify, and I dared not probe further.

Once Brother Tang arrives there, all will be clear!”

Though he directed his words to Old Mr.

Tang, his gaze fixated on Tang Lianhe.

He too was puzzled, wondering why his master had specifically named Tang Lianhe, a man usually deemed insignificant.

Tang Lianhe steeled his heart and declared, “Mr.

Qin, I will come with you!”

After speaking, he respectfully bowed to his parents.

He then gave a few instructions to his wife and siblings, urging them to take good care of their parents.

His solemn, mournful demeanor seemed as though he were arranging his final affairs.

Old Mr.

Tang and the elderly Mrs.

Tang were both overwhelmed by tears, and everyone else silently wiped away theirs.

The atmosphere was sorrowful, nearly like a farewell between life and death.

Tang Lianhe took one last reluctant look at his parents and wife, and at the courtyard that had raised him.

With a tone of noble readiness to face death, he said to Qin Tianlong, “Mr.

Qin, please lead the way!”

Qin Tianlong waved his hand and said, “No rush, there’s one more thing!”

After that, he looked around at everyone and shouted, “Who is Tang Zhikang?”

Upon hearing his name called by Qin Tianlong, Tang Zhikang was terrified to the core, stammering and grimacing in fear, he cried out, “Mr.

Qin, I have absolutely no dealings with the Long family, and my relationship with my Third Uncle, oh no, Tang Lianhe, is also very bad.

You must not kill me!”

Qin Tianlong looked at him with disdain and said, “Not about that.

My master, the Immortal Master, has a message for you.

He says he is not afraid if you are truly Li Lingtian.

Tomorrow at noon, by the West Lake, a duel to the death!”

“Alright, the messages my Immortal Master entrusted me with, have been delivered.

Do as you deem fit!”

Upon hearing Qin Tianlong’s words, Tang Zhikang’s legs buckled, and he collapsed on the ground.

The Immortal Master was capable of turning West Lake upside down, even beheading the Dragon Family Ancestor; if he were to go, he would probably be obliterated.

After throwing Tang Zhikang a scornful sneer, Qin Tianlong said, “Hmph, without our Immortal Master’s Divine Skills, don’t try to act tough.

Otherwise, you’ll only become a laughingstock.”

Following that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away with Tang Lianhe.

Tang Wan’er was still relatively calm, her mind buzzing with confusion: “Strange, how did the Immortal Master know exactly what Zhikang said?”

Tang Zhiyong, a diehard fan of the Immortal Master, timidly added, “The Immortal Master has vast Divine Skills.

He’s a Heavenly Immortal, not someone ordinary people can fathom.

It’s completely normal for him to know these things!”

Ye Chuxue secretly snickered, “All this talk of vast Divine Skills and being a Heavenly Relegated Immortal, he clearly heard it himself!”

…

Twenty minutes later, an anxious Tang Lianhe followed Qin Tianlong to a villa by the West Lake.

Qin Tianlong stood outside the door, saluted into the villa and called out, “Alliance Hierarch, Tang Lianhe is here!”

“Let him in!”

Before the words were even finished, the door creaked open on its own.

Tang Lianhe recognized the sound as familiar, almost as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite recall where exactly.

“Brother Tang, please come in!”

Qin Tianlong sidestepped slightly, motioning Tang Lianhe with a gesture to enter.

Upon hearing Qin Tianlong’s cue, Tang Lianhe snapped back to reality and cautiously walked into the hall.

“Tang Lianhe pays respects to Immortal Master!”

However, before he could bow, he was swiftly lifted up by a pair of powerful hands.

“Third Uncle, you are my elder, showing such a grand gesture towards me, are you trying to shorten my life?”

Tang Lianhe looked up, and to his astonishment, it was Li Chen.

He was so shocked that he stared with his mouth agape.

“Li, Li, Li Chen, what are you doing here?”

After speaking, he seemed to realize something, his eyes widened with a face full of disbelief.

“You are Li, Li, Li Immortal Master?”

Li Chen smiled and said, “Third Uncle, ‘Immortal Master Li’ is what outsiders call me.

You should call me by my name, or Chen, just like before.”

Even though Tang Lianhe heard Li Chen admit he was Immortal Master Li, he still found it hard to believe it was all real.

“Third Uncle, these years, you and Aunt have taken great care of Chuxue and myself.

I have always been grateful.

Today, I specifically prepared a humble feast to express my thanks.”

After saying this, Li Chen led Tang Lianhe to the dining table.

“Third Uncle, if I remember correctly, both you and Aunt studied pharmaceutical biology, right?”

Tang Lianhe nodded continuously, like a pecking chicken.

Li Chen asked, “Under the Long Family’s name, there is a Prosperity Biological Pharmaceutical Company.

You’re aware of it, right?”

Tang Lianhe nodded and replied, “I know, Prosperity Biological Pharmaceutical Company, it’s one of the core industries of the Long Family!”

Li Chen said, “Third Uncle, I want you and Aunt to take over Prosperity Pharmaceutical, what do you think?”

Tang Lianhe was startled at this and said, “Immortal…”

“Third Uncle, I’ve said before, call me Li Chen just like always!”

Hearing Li Chen say this, Tang Lianhe corrected himself.

“Li, Li Chen, you might not know, but the real power figures in Prosperity Pharmaceutical are all direct members of the Long Family.

Although Aunt is also from the Long Family, she is from a collateral branch and simply can’t enter Prosperity Biological Pharmaceutical Company.”

Li Chen waved his hand dismissively and in a calm tone said, “Third Uncle, you don’t need to worry about that.

Before you arrived, the Long Family has already surrendered to me collectively, they wouldn’t dare to have any objections!”

After thinking it over, Tang Lianhe said, “Alright then, Little Die and I will definitely manage Prosperity Pharmaceutical well and won’t let you down!”

Seeing Tang Lianhe agree, Li Chen lifted his cup and smilingly said, “Third Uncle, here’s to you!”

Prosperity Pharmaceutical, the country’s largest biological pharmaceutical company.

By controlling this company, Li Chen could command over fifty percent of the national pharmaceutical market.

This would generate tens of billions in annual revenue.

Various cultivation resources would also converge to him like rivers flowing into the sea, sourced from across the nation and even globally through this massive machine.

However, he was somewhat uneasy about the company’s high-level management, which consisted of Long Family members.

He hesitated to insert new people rashly into it, fearing that non-experts would lead experts and cause a breakdown of the entire company system at this precarious time.

After much deliberation, Li Chen thought of Tang Lianhe, who had a background in pharmaceutical biology.

Moreover, Tang Lianhe’s wife, Little Die, was from the Long Family, so parachuting the couple into the company would likely reduce the Long Family’s resistance, easing some of the obstacles.

After three rounds of drinks, Tang Lianhe, his face flushed, stood up to take his leave.

Li Chen said, “Third Uncle, let me take you back.

I need to go to the Tang Family anyway.”

Qin Qingwu saw that Li Chen was leaving, and wasn’t planning on staying the night, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.

But she didn’t know how to make him stay, her mouth opened then closed without uttering a word, and she could only watch his figure gradually fade into the distance, until he became a speck that completely disappeared at the end of the street.
