Chapter 312: Chapter 0312: You Guys Put It On

This time, not only the Scarred Man but also the brothers from the Tang Sect outside the door were stunned. They had made such a big fuss coming over, only to leave empty-handed?

Similarly stunned were the Shen Family Brothers and Chu Ge inside the private room.

The Shen Family Brothers exchanged glances, with a strange light flickering in their eyes. They used to be like water and fire, incompatible with each other. Now, hearing the word "friends" from Tang Xin’s mouth, it was truly baffling.

Shen Congwen’s gaze towards Tang Xin changed again and again, and, in the end, he decided to keep silent and watch how things would unfold.

As for Chu Ge, he was astonished that Tang Xin, knowing of his feud with the Tang Sect, still staunchly supported him and even put aside old grievances to call everyone in the room her friend. Such magnanimity indeed made Chu Ge admire her even more.

"But, miss..." the Scarred Man really heard her this time and suddenly found it difficult to proceed, "But, miss, how can we explain this?"

"Who do you need to explain to? I’ll go explain for you!" Tang Xin lifted her chin slightly, her tone full of disdain.

The Scarred Man, with a forced smile, said, "Miss, you must be kidding. Everyone knows you are the pearl in the palm of the Tang Family Patriarch, and both young masters dote on you immensely. How could I dare to let you handle this personally?"

"Big brother, are we just going to let this go?" someone behind him said with dissatisfaction.

They had come here after swearing to teach Huo Tianqian and his helpers a lesson. If they were to return like this, wouldn’t they become the laughingstock of their fellow disciples?

The Scarred Man turned around and glared at the one who had spoken, "What do you know!"

That person curled his lips. Despite his unwillingness, he had to swallow his pride, but he couldn’t help but complain inwardly: Isn’t it just because you want to impress Lady Tang Xin?

And so, the Scarred Man and his group came in force and left in disappointment.

With this interruption, the atmosphere in Chu Ge and the others’ private room started to become eerie.

Tang Xin apologized to Chu Ge with a hint of regret, "Mr. Chu, I am truly sorry for any inconvenience caused by my family. Rest assured, I will go back immediately to inquire who took your Earth Ganoderma, and I will ensure its return to you."

Shen Congwen and Shen Conghai exchanged looks. Since Tang Xin just resolved their dilemma, Shen Congwen refrained from making any sarcastic remarks this time.

As soon as Tang Xin left, Shen Congwen invited Chu Ge to visit the Shen Family and to show him the First-level Earth Ganoderma.

Chu Ge nodded and agreed to go with him.

However, Shen Congwen didn’t lead Chu Ge to any grand Shen Family residence, but instead they headed west towards Snow Mountain.

On the way, Huo Tianqian looked at the streets passing by and, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Mr. Shen, this doesn’t seem to be the way to the Shen residence, is it?"

Shen Congwen was driving, with Nangong Yunhai in the passenger seat, while Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian were sitting in the back seat.

Hearing Huo Tianqian’s confusion, Shen Congwen glanced at him and Chu Ge in the rearview mirror, smiled, and explained, "The Shen residence is located in the downtown area, a bit far from Snow Mountain, and Earth Ganoderma requires the nourishment of spring water. Therefore, I have specifically set aside a plot of land on Snow Mountain, where we have a dedicated base for cultivating Earth Ganoderma."

Huo Tianqian nodded, apparently thinking of something, and turned to look at Chu Ge, "So, Mr. Chu, about the Tang Sect..."

Actually, he wanted to ask whether they should still settle scores with the Tang Sect.

But considering that he might not weigh as heavily in Chu Ge’s heart as he thought, rashly asking such a question would seem abrupt, and might even be seen as overestimating himself.

Chu Ge naturally knew what was on his mind, gazing ahead with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "Let’s wait until after Mr. Tang’s birthday party tomorrow."

A flash of disappointment crossed Huo Tianqian’s eyes, but it was to be expected. Tomorrow was Mr. Tang’s birthday, and the Tang Sect would surely attend. Not just one person, but also those influential old guys from the higher ranks.

Waiting to decide based on their attitudes was indeed a rational decision.

But he just couldn’t swallow this humiliation!

Chu Ge glanced sideways, his gaze steady as he took a look at Huo Tianqian, then slowly curved his lips into a wild and arrogant smile, "Don’t worry, the pain they have inflicted on you, I will make them repay it twofold."

Upon hearing this, Huo Tianqian’s dim eyes instantly brightened, "Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

Chu Ge nodded slightly, and as if struck by a thought, he turned to Nangong Yunhai who had been silent in the passenger seat and said: "Young Master Nangong, if you’re free tomorrow, why don’t you join me at Mr. Tang’s birthday banquet?"

Nangong Yunhai, suddenly being called upon, shivered and sat up straighter, turning back to look at Chu Ge, "Yes."

Hearing this, Shen Congwen gripped the steering wheel tightly, out of his own motives, he really didn’t want Chu Ge and Nangong Yunhai to attend Mr. Tang’s birthday, but unfortunately, these two were not people he could sway with just a few words.

So now, he could only swallow his frustration.

Chu Ge was quiet for a moment, then spoke again, "Mr. Shen, if you’re available tomorrow, come along as well."

Chu Ge’s phrasing was in the affirmative, as if it was an order being issued indisputably.

Shen Congwen was startled and pointed to his nose in confusion, "Me?"

Chu Ge nodded, "The Shen Family lost 10% of its shares. Although it’s not damaging to the bone, it was caused by me after all, so tomorrow you’ll come with me, and this 10%..."

"Mr. Chu, please don’t trouble yourself on my account, I, Shen Congwen, am willing to accept the loss. I’ll earn back that 10% share in the future."

After all, Shen Congwen was well-educated with manners, their families were sworn enemies. If he were to attend the Tang Sect’s birthday party it would be inappropriate and make both families feel embarrassed.

He was not someone who liked to meddle in other’s business. The only reason he wanted Shen Congwen to join was to see if there was a chance for reconciliation between the two families.

Since Shen Congwen was so resolute, Chu Ge did not wish to say more.

Soon, the car arrived at the base of Snow Mountain.

The temperature here was somewhat low due to the perennial ice and snow on the mountain.

Shen Congwen got out of the car, opened the rear trunk, and took out four brand-new cotton coats, "Mr. Chu, Young Master Nangong, we’ll have to walk up the mountain. It’s quite chilly here, how about wearing these cotton coats?"

Seemingly worried they might find them unclean, Shen Congwen added, "These are brand new, just bought from the store."

It was then that Nangong Yunhai took one and put it on.

Huo Tianqian also wore one.

But Chu Ge shook his head, "This temperature is nothing to me; you guys wear them."
