Chapter 489: Chapter 490: Rising Dragon Painting! (Make-up 9)

Wei Luyuan?

This name made everyone in the business circle pause when they heard it; the Wei Family, which Wei Family could it be?

If we’re talking about Xuanjing City, there’s only one Wei Family, the very low-profile Wei Family. Could it really be that Wei Family?

Then they saw, in the distance, Elder Wei arriving with Wei Xiaoqing, walking slowly.

All the wealthy elites’ expressions turned sour.

Indeed, it was that mysterious Wei Family.

In Xuanjing City, there was a Wei Family Martial Arts Club, which had opened several branches across the city. Since the head trainers of the Wei Family’s clubs knew martial arts, many of the bodyguards for the wealthy were trained there.

Among those at the Wei Family Martial Arts Club, the most formidable was that elder from the Wei Family. Now, seeing the person currently approaching, everyone’s expression changed.

"Could it be?"

"Is that the Wei Family elder?"

All eyes then focused on the old man and the woman who were approaching slowly.

Jiang Nantian’s expression was particularly grim.

"Is that person really the Wei Family elder?"

A senior member of the Jiang Family turned to take a closer look at the elder in the distance, scrutinizing him repeatedly, finally nodding.

"Yes."

"What..." Jiang Nantian’s face contorted.

If it was indeed Elder Wei, this situation was becoming increasingly complicated.

Shen Sanwan might not be familiar with Wu Shanhe, but he was very familiar with Elder Wei. He had once approached Elder Wei, offering a high price to have him train some bodyguards.

But he had been outright rejected by Elder Wei, proving that Elder Wei would not bow down for money. However, now, Elder Wei had actually come to congratulate the Tang Family on their housewarming, which was utterly preposterous.

"Could we have made a mistake again?" Shen Sanwan said to the bodyguard beside him while looking at Tang Zhong enjoying a drink in the distance.

"I don’t know!" The bodyguard from Siberia had run out of words.

Then they saw Elder Wei, with Wei Xiaoqing by his side, walking slowly through the crowd until they reached Tang Zhong, where he respectfully said, "Mr. Tang, I’ve come to offer my congratulations."

"Hmm." Tang Zhong then responded.

Elder Wei, as if granted an audience, immediately said, "Mr. Tang, knowing your vision and foresight, ordinary items won’t interest you. Thus today, I’ve brought a treasure I’ve long cherished."

Then Elder Wei turned and looked at his granddaughter; "Xiaoqing, fetch the painting."

Having once troubled Tang Zhong, Elder Wei asking Xiaoqing to fetch the painting was also a way of making an apology.

"Yes, Grandfather," Wei Xiaoqing did not dare to delay, especially knowing Tang Zhong’s stature as a Major General and Martial Arts Grandmaster, positions her dream prince would hold, yet now these titles were all embodied in one person.

The surrounding crowd lifted their heads, eager to see what treasure Elder Wei would produce, hearing it was a painting.

Suddenly, a painting scroll appeared in Wei Xiaoqing’s hands, adorned with dragons and phoenixes, and crafted in pure gold; indicating the extreme value of the painting within.

Could it be...

Seeing this scroll, the wealthy people who had previously met Elder Wei had already guessed what was inside?

"Impossible, is Elder Wei really giving this painting away? That’s a national treasure."

Following this, their view of Tang Zhong changed; considering this painting, it was likely to change ownership soon. Tang Zhong was not simple at all to be held in such high regard by Elder Wei.

For those unaware of the painting’s significance, they asked those around them, "What exactly is the painting, why do you all look so shocked?"

The knowledgeable ones couldn’t help but say, "Do you know of the old Qi?"

"Old Qi?"

"Yes, are you aware that old Qi is actually more proficient in painting another creature? In the past, old Qi created a masterpiece to praise, a piece known as the ’Rising Dragon Painting.’"

"You’re saying that the painting inside the scroll is the Rising Dragon Painting."

"Exactly, the true national treasure."

By then, everyone’s gaze had fallen into Wei Xiaoqing’s hands, as they saw the scroll slowly unfold, revealing a majestic Divine Dragon swimming within, its divine might flashing.

This...

All people were stunned; worthy of Master Qi’s technique, this indeed was the true national treasure.

However, it didn’t take long for everyone to think of the future owner of this painting.

It was the young man drinking wine in the distance.

Was Old Wei suggesting that this young man could compare to a True Dragon by giving him this painting?

"Not bad," Tang Zhong only glanced at the scroll before continuing to drink his wine.

"Of course, Mr. Tang is like the dragon in this painting," Old Wei said with a smile.

At this moment, everyone was astonished, as the previously perceived weak young man now received such high praise from Old Wei, delivering a shock as impactful as a tsunami. Many wealthy individuals who initially harbored designs on the Tang Family’s ancestral land were now contemplating how to resolve their grudges with the Tang Family.

Jiang Nantian, witnessing the scene before him, could no longer remain composed.

He had thought that coming here to take the Tang Family’s ancestral land was a sure win, and Tang Zhong was merely a monkey in the palm of his hand. He held the iron chain; the monkey was his to control. However, now, this monkey had managed to break free from the chain, becoming a thorn in his side.

But that wasn’t enough to scare him, after all, it was just Tang Zhong alone.

However, at that moment, a soldier dressed in formal attire rushed in hastily and approached Tang Zhong: "Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang, someone has arrived outside!"

"It seems they are from Xuanguan Sea!"

Xuanguan Sea?

This mention suddenly set the whole place abuzz. Who was it that came from Xuanguan Sea?

After all, Xuanguan Sea was national territory!

But why would someone from Xuanguan Sea come here?

Jiang Nantian felt an ominous feeling.

"Family Head, what should we do?" a high-ranking member of the Jiang Family in the political sphere asked.

"Let’s wait and see; we don’t even know why the people from Xuanguan Sea are here yet!"

All around, people kept guessing, as they saw a group of people walking through the main gate of the Tang Family.

Leading the group was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, followed by a person in the uniform of Zhu Island City’s Governor, and beside them, a person dressed as a judge.

"Secretary Qin..."

"The person beside must be a compatriot from Zhu Island City, that’s the Governor, and the judge is from the Zhu Island City’s High Court; I met them last time I went to Zhu Island City for business!"

"What? What are they doing here?"

The newly arrived were indeed Secretary Qin, along with the Governor and the Judge, walking slowly as they conversed and laughed.

The wealthy onlookers were stunned. When these Governors and Judges usually come to Xuan Country, shouldn’t they be taken to Xuanguan Sea? What business did they have bringing them here?

Jiang Nantian’s eyelids twitched as he watched the people Secretary Qin brought, his bad premonition growing stronger.

Thinking of Wu Shanhe and Old Wei, could it be that Secretary Qin also came to congratulate Tang Zhong? Impossible, how could Tang Zhong possibly know people from Zhu Island City?

Zhu Island City and Xuan Country were fundamentally disconnected for generations.

As Secretary Qin walked by, the wealthy called out to him one by one, but he did not even glance at them, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, he approached Tang Zhong and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, long time no see. Some people from Zhu Island City just arrived in Xuan Country. After meeting with Minister Chenhui, they insisted on seeing you, so I brought them over!"

"What?" At this moment, the faces of all present changed.

(One more to come)
