Chapter 524: Chapter 0526: Martial Arts Competition

Tang Haowan did not show too much dissatisfaction with Lin Lu and Lin Zhang’s forceful joining; he merely glanced indifferently at Lin Lu, then respectfully said to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, last time I couldn’t host a proper meal for you here, today you must enjoy yourself to the fullest."

Tang Haowan was referring to the time before he and Shen Wei Qian reconciled when they agreed to meet.

At that time, they were caught in a trap and surrounded; fortunately, Chu Ge was there, otherwise, Tang Haowan would have been dead.

Shen Wei Qian laughed embarrassingly, "If not for that time, perhaps our Shen Family and Tang Family would still be enemies."

Tang Haowan nodded vigorously in agreement, "Speaking of which, Mr. Chu can also be considered our benefactor for both the Tang Family and the Shen Family."

Tang Xin looked at Tang Haowan somewhat speechlessly and said reproachfully, "Grandfather, you forgot, Mr. Chu is already our honored guest."

Tang Haowan waved his hand, "That’s a different matter; without Mr. Chu, I wouldn’t be here today. If not for Mr. Chu, our Tang Family and Shen Family might still be in a mutually destructive situation."

Lin Lu, listening on the side, was completely lost. He had heard many people talk about the recent events between the Tang and Shen families, but their stories were too incredible, and he didn’t believe them at first.

But now, listening to Tang Haowan and Shen Wei Qian continuously sighing, he seemed to understand something—it was because of Chu Ge that they buried the hatchet. Also, because of Chu Ge, Tang Haowan’s previously crippled legs could stand again.

This Chu Ge, was he really as powerful as they said?

Lin Lu’s doubtful eyes looked at Chu Ge; he’s just a young man in his twenties, right? Even if he knows some ancient martial arts, it’s just superficial skills; how could he be compared to the Sect Leader of Huayue Sect?

It must be said that Tang Haowan is capable of achieving great things, being a man with ambition. When he learned that Lin Lu had collaborated with Huayue Sect, the first thing that came to his mind was to connect Shen Wei Qian and Chu Ge.

Despite Chu Ge’s youth, he was very clear-headed and influential.

However, Chu Ge was indifferent to fame and fortune, always easy-going and carefree, so he also gave off a very relaxed impression, not sticking to trivial formalities.

But a person who can earn compliments from all Four Great Families of Modu and single-handedly eliminate Ghost Poison Sect is definitely not ordinary!

Tang Haowan was clever, knowing that if he asked for Chu Ge’s help, Chu Ge would be willing to help. However, at the same time, there would inevitably be a distancing in their relationship. As a wise man, Tang Haowan naturally wouldn’t let such a thing happen.

So, he must find a way, a way for them to develop connections.

However, what Tang Haowan did not know was that Chu Ge had already established a cooperation alliance with Shen Congwen, intending to buy Earth Ganoderma from him.

During the meal, only Tang Haowan, Shen Wei Qian, and Chu Ge were talking; the others remained silent.

Even Lin Lu tried to reduce his presence; he wanted to hear just how capable Chu Ge was to earn Tang Haowan’s admiration so much.

Tang Haowan hosted a meal for Chu Ge, and originally Shen Yaoyao had no interest in participating, but Shen Fang insisted on having Shen Yaoyao and Chu Ge show their affection in front of everyone, forcing Shen Yaoyao to come.

Shen Yaoyao felt helpless; she almost blurted out that she and Chu Ge were not actually a couple, but when she saw the way Tang Xin looked at Chu Ge, she forcefully swallowed those words back.

Even if she wasn’t Chu Ge’s girlfriend, she wouldn’t let other women benefit!

Tang Xin was quietly eating while stealing glances at Chu Ge, when suddenly she noticed a persistent gaze from the side. Tang Xin frowned slightly, immediately pinpointing the source of the gaze.

Lin Zhang was caught red-handed peeking, but he just shamelessly smiled at Tang Xin, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed about being caught.

Tang Xin gave Lin Zhang a mean stare. What business did this guy have, always watching her?

These father and son were indeed brazen; they weren’t even invited for dinner, yet they had the cheek to tag along.

Fortunately, grandpa didn’t mind.

Tang Xin gave Lin Zhang a cold look and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Lin Zhang stroked his chin, pondering. If he was not mistaken, Tang Xin seemed to have a crush on Chu Ge.

But wasn’t Chu Ge Yaoyao’s boyfriend? Tang Xin actually fancied a married man?

Heh, this just got a lot more interesting.

"Mr. Chu, may I ask if you have any unique insights regarding ancient martial arts?" Lin Lu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.

Tang Haowan looked up at Lin Lu, his gaze warning him to not speak carelessly.

But Lin Lu seemed to have ignored his warning glare, smiling at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, I apologize for asking so abruptly. I just heard Mr. Tang constantly praising you, flattering you, and it made me quite curious. May I know what rank you currently hold?"

Chu Ge glanced indifferently at him. From the start, he knew that this Lin Lu was observing him, but since he didn’t know him and hadn’t done anything shameful, he let him look.

Now, this sudden question did surprise him.

"It seems Mr. Lin also understands ancient martial arts?" Chu Ge counter-asked.

Lin Lu laughed proudly, "I don’t understand much, but my son has recently advanced in the path of ancient martial arts. Although he’s just started, his progress in martial arts has been very rapid, which is quite comforting to me."

Lin Lu looked at Chu Ge and then at his son Lin Zhang, a thought of having Chu Ge and Lin Zhang spar with each other emerged in his mind.

"How about this, after we finish eating, you two could have a sparring session?" Lin Lu suggested.

Yaoyao didn’t know the extent of Chu Ge’s martial arts skills, so upon hearing Lin Lu’s suggestion, she just looked at Chu Ge without saying anything.

But Tang Xin was different. She had personally witnessed Chu Ge’s true capabilities. Although she didn’t know the full extent of his power, dealing with someone like Lin Zhang would be a mere warm-up for Chu Ge, even if a hundred came at once.

Tang Haowan and Shen Wei Qian looked at Lin Lu as if he were a monster, unable to comprehend what he was up to.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure you want Chu Ge to spar with your son?" Tang Xin asked doubtfully.

Lin Lu nodded, "It’s just a friendly spar, no need to worry. I will tell my son to go easy, just point to stop, how about that?"
