Chapter 520: Chapter 0522: Breaking Through the Postnatal Realm

Shen Yaoyao was actually only guessing, but the expression on Chu Ge’s face gave her the answer she was looking for.

Inside, she felt a bit of admiration for herself.

Chu Ge, however, was not as optimistic. He pondered for a moment.

Based on his understanding of Shen Yaoyao, this guy would definitely tell Mu Bingtong about his affairs.

Although he was not worried that Mu Bingtong would find out his secrets, he was concerned that the more she knew, the greater the danger would be. As his martial arts improved, the people he came into contact with would become increasingly dangerous. It was hard for him to guarantee that these people wouldn’t do anything out of line.

Shen Yaoyao playfully winked at Chu Ge, "How about it? Want to reward me first? Shut me up?"

Chu Ge looked at Shen Yaoyao speechlessly, just about to say something, when he heard Shen Mimi next to him ask curiously, "Bingtong? The Mu Bingtong from Shanghai? What’s your relationship with her?"

Shen Mimi looked curiously at Chu Ge. Weren’t Chu Ge and Shen Yaoyao a couple? Why did their relationship not seem like that of a couple now? Or was it this Bingtong that Shen Yaoyao mentioned, whom Chu Ge was very afraid of?

Shen Mimi knew that Mu Bingtong was the president of Jinxiu Group and that it was because of her that the Xiao Shen Family had secured a place for themselves in Su City.

Shen Yaoyao abruptly closed her mouth, realizing her mistake. How could she forget that Shen Mimi was next to her? If Shen Mimi found out about her and Chu Ge’s non-romantic relationship, it would be the end of her!

In contrast to Shen Yaoyao, Chu Ge was much more indifferent.

Because he knew that Shen Fang had known for a long time that he and Shen Yaoyao were not a couple. What surprised him, however, was that he thought Shen Mimi also knew this secret, but looking at her puzzled expression, it seemed like she didn’t know.

After Shen Mimi spoke, no one picked up the conversation for quite some time, making her feel particularly awkward.

Shen Mimi sat there feeling dejected. She really wanted to integrate into Chu Ge’s life and talk to him about everything, but she knew it was impossible.

However, she was not discouraged and wanted to try again and again.

"From what Yaoyao said, does Mr. Chu also practice martial arts?" Shen Mimi asked again.

Initially, to fit into upper-class society, she forced herself to learn many etiquettes and became adept at reading the room.

The question she just asked definitely touched on their bottom line.

Yet, after Shen Mimi threw out her question, she still received no response from anyone.

Shen Mimi felt a bit embarrassed and silently sat there, not speaking anymore.

The banqueting hall was filled with the quarreling voices of Lin Zhang and Xiao Jinghua.

"Xiao Jinghua, do you think just because Xiao Jingsheng is lying in the hospital that the Xiao Family is yours? Don’t dream on! You are nothing but a lapdog of the Xiao Family, a bastard who can’t show his face in public, and yet you still dream of coming to such an event, truly humiliating yourself."

The fact that Xiao Jinghua was a bastard was no secret in Su City, but still, having it thrown in his face like this in front of so many people made him very angry.

Xiao Jinghua, infuriated, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zhang’s clothes, glaring at him, "Lin Zhang, if you say one more word, I’ll smash your mouth!"

Lin Zhang didn’t expect Xiao Jinghua to get physical, and for a moment he felt he had lost face. He grabbed Xiao Jinghua’s clothes in response and snorted coldly, "You’re a bastard, are you afraid of being called one? Your mother was a woman who was violated by many, with such a background, how dare you show your face here!"

Lin Zhang seemed deliberately trying to provoke Xiao Jinghua, continuously poking at Xiao Jinghua’s sore spot.

Xiao Jinghua’s lips were tightly pursed, and his other hand clenched into a fist, swinging straight towards Lin Zhang.

To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Jinghua’s fist was firmly caught by Lin Zhang, followed by the sound of a crack — the sound of Xiao Jinghua’s wrist fracturing.

Chu Ge’s brows furrowed slightly as he gazed thoughtfully at Lin Zhang. He had just sensed a flow of True Qi, a True Qi that carried a sense of dominance and bloodthirstiness.

Xiao Jinghua only felt an intense, piercing pain rapidly spreading through his body, twisting his facial expression into one of agony.

"Ah!!!!" Xiao Jinghua screamed in pain, his face ashen, moaning incessantly.

Xiao Jinghua had brought bodyguards with him, who immediately stepped forward upon seeing this, wanting to avenge Xiao Jinghua.

But before their hands could even touch Lin Zhang, he had already dislocated their hands and arms.

Pain-filled moans filled the entire banquet hall.

Others who were conversing in hushed voices suddenly quieted down, all of them turning their gazes towards Lin Zhang.

Tang Youwei was somewhat astonished, "When did Lin Zhang become so formidable?"

Chu Ge’s lips curled into a slightly mischievous smile, he chuckled and said, "A recent Martial Artist."

It appeared that Lin Zhang had only just been promoted to the ranks of Martial Artists; therefore, he did not hide the True Qi within his body, unreservedly releasing it whenever he used it.

He might seem quite powerful against those who were defenseless, but if he were to encounter an Ancient Martial Artist, it would be a completely different story.

The real purpose of this banquet was actually for the division of territorial influence in Su City, due to the sudden downfall of Honda Sakura, everyone was eyeing the Xiao Family’s assets.

Although the Xiao Family had successors, none of them were one-tenth as competent as Honda Sakura. Even if Honda Sakura’s son had learned the tricks of managing the company from her, he now lay in a hospital bed, and when he would awaken remained uncertain.

Today’s representative of the Xiao Family at the banquet was Xiao Jingsheng’s father, a typically cowardly man, who had always been indifferent to company affairs and even less concerned with how much money was made each month.

He and Honda Sakura had long been a marriage of convenience; he had lovers outside, and Honda Sakura’s own affairs with numerous men were unknown.

His attendance at the banquet was nothing more than to make up the numbers, and should someone wish to purchase the Xiao Family’s assets for a high price, he would not hesitate to agree.

Lin Zhang, aware of these circumstances, thus brazenly provoked a conflict with Xiao Jinghua, for after today, the Xiao Family might well be stricken from the records of Su City.

"Are you implying that Lin Zhang is now an Ancient Martial Artist, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Ge nodded, "The True Qi in his body is somewhat chaotic; it seems he has only recently achieved a breakthrough to Postnatal Ancient Martial Artist status, and he has yet to master the control of his own True Qi."

Tang Youwei did not understand all that Chu Ge mentioned, but he was very curious as to how Lin Zhang had suddenly come to possess martial skills.

"Whoever helped Lin Zhang achieve a Postnatal breakthrough, their power must surely be above that of an Innate Grandmaster."

Chu Ge asserted confidently.

If that person had not reached the level of an Innate Grandmaster, Lin Zhang’s True Qi would definitely not be this erratic.

The higher one’s martial prowess, the harder it is to control the True Qi, especially for someone like Lin Zhang who has broken through from an ordinary person to Postnatal...
