MISFORTUNE

CHAPTER 101 - REUNION OF OLD FRIENDS

The little girl's crying woke the one on the ground up. He covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the little girl stealthily. His expression changed and he quickly got up.

Niuniu, why are you here?

Dad, wow, he's a bad guy.

When the person being beaten saw that his daughter was only crying, he suddenly had a bad premonition. He hurriedly looked at the crowd, and then he stared at one of the girls in shock, his face full of regret. The woman exchanged a glance with him, turned around, and hurriedly ran out.

Hai, wait.

The person who was hit fiercely stomped his foot and picked up his daughter. He didn't even bother with the electric car as he quickly chased after her.

After the head left, there was no longer any excitement to watch. In the blink of an eye, all the onlookers dispersed.

You are overestimating yourself, yet you actually dared to touch me. If I wasn't in a good mood, I would have beaten you to death.

The young man spat, kicked off the electric car, and cursed.

Chen Yang had long since ignored them. Ever since the middle-aged woman walked towards Xiao Junlan, his gaze never left his mother.

Xiao Junlan looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression. After a moment, she finally came back to her senses and asked joyfully, You're Zheng Wen?

That's right!

Zheng Wen nodded. After carefully observing Xiao Junlan, the enthusiasm in her eyes gradually disappeared. Sister Junlan, I heard that you have broken off your connection with the Xiao family. You must be working very hard as a teacher in Hai Cheng, right?

It's indeed a bit difficult. Xiao Junlan smiled, But I like teaching.

Sister Junlan, it's not that I'm talking about you, you shouldn't have eloped with that man all those years ago. What did he have? I don't even have a proper job except for fighting. Zheng Wen's face showed disdain as she said, Look at you, you're only one year older than me, but you look a lot older. For us women, marrying a good man is more important than anything else. "

Zheng Wen didn't hesitate at all. Each of her sentences was filled with hidden needles. Xiao Junlan remained silent, looked downcast, and the joy of reuniting with her old friend vanished without a trace.

The Zheng family and the Xiao family were similar, they were both second-rate families in Beijing. The two of them knew each other since childhood, and they were very close, but no matter if it was talent, temperament, or looks, Xiao Junlan was one head above Zheng Wen.

However, when they met again twenty years later, things had already changed.

Chen Yang observed the situation and noticed that Xiao Junlan's expression was a little strange. She couldn't help but smile evilly. He walked to the woman's side and asked Xiao Junlan, Mom, is this woman your friend?

Auntie?

Zheng Wen screamed and pointed at Chen Yang. Where are your eyes? Did your mom teach you anything? "

Xiao Junlan revealed a smile. Don't spout nonsense. Your Aunt Zheng is one year younger than me!

No way! Chen Yang said in surprise: Just by looking at that face with the layers of dye on it, after taking off the makeup, it will definitely be terrifying. Mom, let's hurry up and go, so we don't have nightmares.

Holy shit, who did you say scared the hell out of me?

On the other side, when the young man heard Chen Yang mocking Zheng Wen, he quickly walked over and shouted at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang turned to look at the young man and chuckled, What, you've gotten addicted to being a hero. You intend to continue working as a hero.

Watch your mouth. Be careful of what you say. The young man glared at Chen Yang and threatened him.

Haha, what a joke!

Being laughed at in front of Chen Yang, the young man became angry and suddenly grabbed onto his neck, sneering: What are you laughing at? Today, I will let you know that there are some people that you cannot offend.

Chen Yang looked at the young man. He didn't even have the interest to struggle as the young man grabbed him by the neck.

Xiao Junlan's expression changed slightly as she hurriedly spoke to stop her, Quickly stop.

It's no big deal that youngsters are competitive. Little Tao, you're a Black Belt level 6, don't hurt him. He's the son of Jun Lan, no matter what. Zheng Wen advised with a face full of smiles.

Xiao Junlan looked at Zheng Wen with a strange expression. The reason why she shouted for him to stop was obviously not because she was afraid that Chen Yang would get beaten up. Instead, she was worried that she would anger his son and cause him to attack her.

One must know that Chen Yang was not polite when he fought. The two Xiao brothers were the proof.

The young man clearly understood the meaning behind Zheng Wen's words. His eyes instantly became cold as he kicked towards Chen Yang's lower abdomen.

How boring.

Chen Yang sighed, reached out with his left hand to grab the young man's wrist, then raised his right hand and slapped him in the face, knocking him to the ground with a slap.

After succeeding in his first move, he took a step forward and stepped on the young man's palm. Looking down at him from above, he asked, Now do you know who has overestimated themselves?

Being stared at by Chen Yang, the young man, who was about to stand up, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to struggle anymore. He slightly turned his head to look at Zheng Wen with eyes full of grievance.

Zheng Wen was obviously scared silly by this reversal. She froze for a moment and suddenly screamed, Why are you beating people up in the street? Let go of Little Tao or I'll call the police.

Xiao Junlan shook her head in disappointment when she saw Zheng Wen slander Chen Yang. Little Yang, let him go.

No problem.

Chen Yang turned the tip of his foot. The young man let out a scream of pain and then went back to Xiao Junlan's side.

As soon as he left, Zheng Wen quickly walked over and pulled her son up with a pained expression.

The young man quickly stood up, one hand covering his left cheek. He glared at Chen Yang with hatred in his eyes, but didn't dare to continue clamoring.

It's getting late, let's go. Chen Yang glanced at the young man before turning to Xiao Junlan.

Right now, his greatest desire was to obtain the cultivation technique left behind by Chen Zhan. He had no interest in wasting time on the mother and son pair.

Xiao Junlan nodded and left without a word.

Zheng Wen stared at Xiao Junlan gloomily. Then, she rolled her eyes and revealed a smile.

She quickly caught up with Xiao Junlan and tugged at the corner of her clothes, sincerely saying, Sister Junlan, the day after tomorrow will be my father's seventieth birthday. All these years, he has been talking about you. Since you've returned, you must come to participate.

Uncle Zheng's birthday? Xiao Junlan was stunned when she heard that. She seemed to have thought of something and said dejectedly, No need.

Go, why not? Chen Yang suddenly interrupted, Since you're back, of course you have to pay a visit to your elders and friends.

I —

Chen Yang interrupted Xiao Junlan with a smile and said to Zheng Wen, Since this grandma is inviting us, of course we have to go. We'll definitely prepare a big gift.

Hearing the word grandma, Zheng Wen felt the urge to go on a rampage. She took a deep breath and laughed dryly, In that case, let's go.

Little Yang, I really don't want to go. Xiao Junlan said embarrassedly as she watched Zheng Wen and her mother leave in a car.

Chen Yang looked at his mother and said seriously: Don't forget why we came to Beijing! Arrogant was just a method. The goal was to regain the pride he had lost. I will prove to them that your choice back then was correct. Even if it was wrong, as long as I am here, it will always be right.

CHAPTER 102 - GENUINE BODY REFINEMENT

It had been more than ten days since she came to Beijing, and today was the first time she went out. She didn't expect to meet Zheng Wen. Their conversation was not pleasant, and the courage she had mustered almost vanished into thin air.

For Xiao Junlan, what she had experienced gave her a lot of memories, but also a burden that she could not forget. It made her feel suspicious, and she found it difficult to face her old friends.

Chen Yang obviously didn't want to see Xiao Junlan fall into depression. Since he couldn't escape, he might as well repeat what he had done to the Xiao family to restrain them and make them realize that he was wrong.

Returning to the car, Chen Yang ordered Xiao Qiang to drive to the Xiao family.

By the time they arrived at the Xiao family's residence, Xiao Junlan's mood had already returned to normal. The moment she got off the car, she nodded towards Chen Yang. Chen Yang understood and a smile appeared on his face.

With Xiao Qiang opening a path in front of them, if the Xiao Clan did not open all four gates to welcome them, at least no one would dare to stop them.

Xiao Junlan originally wanted to bring Chen Yang to visit Xiao Jinhua, but Chen Yang immediately rejected his. Right now, he only wanted to quickly see the cultivation technique that Chen Zhan had left behind.

After entering the side room where Xiao Junlan lived, Chen Yang pulled a chair over and sat down. He watched as Xiao Junlan took out a small wooden box from under the bed.

When Chen Yang saw the wooden chest, his eyes instantly lit up. A thousand year old peach tree?

Xiao Junlan placed the wooden box on the table, staring at it with an infatuated expression. After a moment, she started to open the lid. There was only a bound book inside.

Xiao Yang, your father said that this cultivation method was brought out by him from the family, and that he must return it in the future. However, after having you, he tore off the back part and carried it with him, leaving the first part at home. Perhaps from then on, he had already anticipated that he might encounter an accident!

It's possible.

Chen Yang casually replied as he reached out to take out the thin book with the thread inside.

After cultivating to a certain level, one could indeed vaguely sense the future. If Chen Zhan was really at the pinnacle of Xiantian or even higher, it was normal for him to be aware of the possible dangers.

On the cover of the thread-bound book were written four traditional characters: Zhen Wu Body Refining Technique. This was clearly the name of this technique.

It's actually a body tempering technique?

Chen Yang was shocked. In his impression, there was a body tempering cultivation technique in the ancient Chinese martial world, such as Iron Cloth Robe. It was just that body tempering was extremely difficult, and his achievements were limited. As for a body tempering cultivation technique that could break into the Xiantian realm, he had never heard of it before.

Even in the world of cultivation, Qi Cultivation was the most important, and Body Refinement Cultivation techniques were few and far in between.

After all, in the cultivation world, most people prided themselves on being experts. Although they still lacked elegance in order to compete for cultivation resources and fought frequently, they disdained close quarters combat.

With a high base level and a good Dharma treasure, he would naturally have a great advantage. He would be able to instantly defeat his opponent without having to come into contact with him.

Realizing that the technique Chen Zhan left behind was a body tempering cultivation technique, he hurriedly started flipping through it.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of flipping books.

Xiao Junlan smiled when she saw how anxious Chen Yang was.

Flipping to the last page, Chen Yang was already astonished.

This body tempering technique only had the first three layers left, but it was extremely exquisite. It was even better than all the body tempering techniques he had come in contact with before. As for the Three Yang Fist, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

It was recorded in the book that the True Martial Body Refinement Method was a unique body tempering method of the Chen family. Cultivating it to the deepest parts wasn't inferior to Qi Cultivating Stage. The first level was the peak of Houtian, the second level was the peak of Xiantian, and the third meant that he had broken through to the Xiantian realm.

Body tempering and qi tempering are completely different cultivation sects, while the Nine Revolutions in the Red Dust is obviously qi flow cultivation. Can body tempering enter the Connate realm and train the Nine Revolutions in the Red Dust? If I am unable to cultivate, then wouldn't my happiness for nothing? "

Chen Yang stared at the Zhen Wu [1] with some hesitation.

The Nine Revolutions in the Red Dust was the most important thing. He did not want to delay the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions in the Red Dust. Otherwise, just by relying on this incomplete body tempering technique, he would probably only be at the level of number one expert in his entire life.

Xiao Junlan thought for a moment, then said, The lid of the box has a layer on it. Inside it is the recipe for the bone-refining soup.

After Chen Yang finished listening, he carefully examined the wooden box. Then, he picked up the box and pressed both ends at the same time. A piece of plywood suddenly fell from the lid and a piece of paper was held inside. He took out a piece of paper and scanned through it. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with surprise.

The Bone Tempering Soup is actually like this? I admire you."

Chen Yang quickly understood the medicinal properties of the Bone Tempering Soup, and his expression was filled with admiration.

Even in the world of cultivation, this recipe was worth thousands of gold, let alone the mortal world.

Forget it, encountering this is a lucky chance. If I don't practice then it will be a pity. As he thought of this, he put away the < True Martial Body Refining Technique > and the < Bone Tempering Soup > formulas. Then he stood up and said to Xiao Junlan, Mom, I plan on cultivating the < True Martial Body Refinement Method > now.

Although Body Refinement Qi was of a different sect, it didn't hinder it at all. Now that he needed a chance to break through to the Xiantian realm, why not use this time to refine his body? After all, he had nothing to do.

Your grandfather hasn't seen you in a long time. He asked you about it a few times, then left after eating.

Next time, definitely next time.

Chen Yang laughed, "I am someone who wants to become a great master, how can I waste time? The day after tomorrow, Xiao Qiang will come to the hotel to pick me up. As he spoke, his voice faded away, leaving no trace behind.

Xiao Junlan saw Chen Yang leaving in a hurry, a smile hung on his face as he called out lovingly, Slow down, it's not like no one is going to fight you for it.

After a while, she stared at the thousand-year-old peach box that Chen Yang had inadvertently left behind and said through gritted teeth, You heartless bastard, if you don't come back, I'll make sure Little Yang never recognizes you again. As he finished speaking, tears streamed down his cheeks.

Before returning to the hotel, Chen Yang had already made a few calls and notified the Xue Guard. Fang Zhentang and Yan Licheng ordered them to gather as many medicinal ingredients as possible. Once they were all gathered, they would send someone to the hotel.

In the next two days, he only went out once and did not step out of his room again.

He was familiar with qi training, but this was the first time he had come into contact with it. Fortunately, he was already at the peak of the Postnatal realm and had the experience of cultivating ancient martial arts. Thus, he was able to quickly familiarize himself with the first level of the technique.

Whap.

The tempered glass instantly shattered, and the hand continued to exert force until the glass was ground to dust. Only then did it loosen.

Chen Yang looked down at his right hand and found no wound on his finger. He could not help but nod. He had only cultivated the Bone Tempering Decoction for two days and yet he had already reached such a level. It had to be said that the Zhen Wu body tempering technique was indeed unique.

Not only did his strength greatly increase, even his ability to withstand blows had been improved.

Breaking through to the Innate Realm is just around the corner!

Chen Yang only needed to gather the herbs needed to concoct the Bone Tempering Soup as well as the Bone Tempering Soup in order to break through to the Xiantian realm in half a year's time. Even though he wasn't sure if he could cultivate the Nine Revolutions in the mortal world, he could at least see hope.

Just then, a knock came from outside the door. He stood up, adjusted his collar, and said with a smile, Zheng Family's Zheng Haisheng, the former Guard Captain, the current Family Patriarch! He should be glad to see me!

CHAPTER 103 - FAMILIAR CLOUD

At the Beijing Northern Hotel, luxury cars filled the parking lot.

The Mercedes-Benz that Xiao Qiang drove was basically the lowest grade of the market. Originally, Chen Yang could have asked Xue Wei to provide the vehicles, but he didn't do so. Firstly, it didn't suit his character. Secondly, they didn't want to be too arrogant in order to change the image of Xiao Junlan among the crowd.

Lil 'Yang, is that present really okay?

Xiao Junlan wore a formal dress and wore light makeup, her temperament was exceptionally outstanding. However, when she thought of Chen Yang's gifts, she felt a little uncertain.

It was a bullet-shaped pendant, roughly carved, not much better than ten dollars a piece on the street.

This was not all. Although it was a jade pendant, the jade was turbid. Judging by the material, it should not be more than a thousand.

And with a jade bullet from the wedding gift, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like it was a birthday feast, but more like it was meant to ruin the scene.

When Chen Yang heard this, he smiled and said, Don't worry. Since that old man was an old revolutionary, he must have liked guns and things like that. Besides, I carved it myself. Even though the quality of the jade is a little inferior, it's still a piece of good will.

Hearing Chen Yang's words, Xiao Junlan was completely speechless. However, she didn't prepare any gifts, so she could only clench her teeth and nod.

Xiao Qiang, who was following behind him, glanced at Chen Yang with a strange expression.

With his understanding of Chen Yang, all of Brother Chen's products must be top quality!

Although Zheng Hai Sheng was not a high ranking retired official, he had fought in foreign wars before. He was of great seniority, so most of the small and large families in Yan Jing had sent representatives over.

Thus, on the way from the parking lot to the hotel, Chen Yang encountered many acquaintances. For example, Xue Weili, Xue Bing, Fang Zhenting, and the Yan family's third oldest son, Yan Zhiming. They even saw Wang Rong and a young man.

Of course, Wang Rong glanced at him and left in a hurry. He was tired of seeing Chen Yang right now, but he had no way to take revenge.

The rest of them came over to chat with Chen Yang. They saw that Xiao Junlan was also here, so they took their leave first.

Little Yang, are those your friends? Xiao Junlan had already seen Xue Wei long ago, so she was not surprised, but the other three people had the same either.

Chen Yang nodded, He can be considered a friend! Actually, he really didn't want to say that these people were either his lackeys or juniors, and no one was qualified to be his friend.

Two people greeted them at the entrance of the hotel, a middle-aged man and a young man.

When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Junlan, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward: Junlan, you really came back? We haven't seen each other in twenty years!

Big Brother Zheng, twenty-three years.

Ai!

Zheng Chaodong sighed. It's good that you're back. If you need Big Brother Zheng's help in the future, feel free to speak. With that, he waved towards the young man and introduced him with a smile, My son Zheng Bei. Little Bei, this is your Aunt Xiao. Your Aunt and your Aunt Xiao were best friends back then. "

Zheng Bei hurriedly greeted: Greetings Aunt Xiao. Grandfather will often talk about you. He must be very happy that you've come today.

Xiao Junlan nodded towards Zheng Bei and smiled, Brother Zheng, my brother has just started his new job and is very busy. I'm afraid he won't have enough time today, so he sent his nephew over. She then pointed at Chen Yang and said, He is my son, Chen Yang. He is called Uncle Zheng.

Just as Chen Yang was about to refuse, Zheng Bei glanced at him and suddenly exclaimed, You're the one who saved me?

It's you.

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat as he sized Zheng Bei up and smiled: Have you recovered from your injuries?

I'm fine, thank you. Hearing Chen Yang admit to it, Zheng Bei quickly took his hand and said gratefully, If you hadn't called the police in time, I might have died a long time ago. Thank you for saving me."

Zheng Chaodong asked in surprise, Little Bei, what's going on?

Dad, a few days ago I was in a car accident at the Mountain Sea Tunnel and it was Chen Yang who called the police. He was guarding the car, otherwise I would have died a long time ago.

The corners of Chen Yang's mouth curled up in a smile, not showing any sign of modesty at all. At that time, the Ghost King had not been destroyed. With Zheng Bei's condition, even if he did not die, he would at least lose a layer of skin.

So you're Little Bei's savior. Zheng Chaodong's face was filled with gratitude as he patted Chen Yang's shoulder. I represent the Zheng Family. Thank you for saving Little Bei.

It just happened to be the right time.

Zheng Zhaodong saw Chen Yang's indifferent expression and felt a good impression of him. He ordered his son, Xiao Bei, quickly bring Aunt Xiao and Chen Yang in. Please have your grandfather personally toast Chen Yang later on.

Alright. Chen Yang, Aunt Xiao, this way please."

Zheng Bei led the way. Chen Yang and Xiao Junlan were about to follow, when they suddenly heard an exclamation, Sister Junlan, are you Sister Junlan?

Xiao Junlan turned around and said in surprise: Xiao Nan?

Wow, you really are Sister Jun Lan!

The girl called Xiao Nan suddenly jumped into Xiao Junlan's arms, her face full of excitement.

Chen Yang quietly took a step back, not wanting to break this warm moment. Unlike Zheng Wen, the girl named Xiao Nan revealed her true feelings. Apparently, she had a close relationship with Xiao Junlan.

Xiao Junlan is actually back?

He must have been unable to stay in Seahold and ran back dejectedly.

Before Xiao Junlan could let go of her hand, another two voices came from outside the door. However, it could be heard from their voices that their owner was not happy. Instead, her voice was full of ridicule.

Hmm?

Chen Yang suddenly turned his head to look at the two women as he coldly stared at them.

Let's go! Back then, because she took the wrong step, she almost became the laughing stock of Beijing. What a shame.

Hehe, those words are too unpleasant to listen to. Who knows, he might have come back to show off!

The two girls walked past Xiao Junlan and Xiao Nan while talking. When she looked at Xiao Junlan, her lips were trembling, and he was in a bad mood.

There is no ivory in the dog's mouth! Sister Junlan, don't lower yourself to the same level as them. Xiao Nan came forward and took Xiao Junlan's arm, Let's go in together.

Nan, wait a moment, I'll introduce someone to you

Xiao Junlan waved at Chen Yang, who didn't want to have any more aunts. She quickly pulled Xiao Qiang away and said, We're going to the men's table.

Xiao Junlan knew too many people, and they were all uncles and aunts. Who would be able to handle this?

Seeing Chen Yang running away, Xiao Junlan shook her head in amusement and was pulled into the banquet hall by Xiao Nan.

As time passed, more and more guests arrived. Chen Yang and Xiao Qiang sat at the third table with Fang Zhentian and Xue Wei beside them.

Originally, with his and Xiao Qiang's status, they were not qualified to sit here. However, Xiao Qiang represented the Xiao family, Fang Zhentian represented the Fang family, and he was Zheng Bei's savior.

In the banquet hall, tables one through twenty were male seats, and behind table twenty were female tables.

Before long, Zheng Wen, who was holding the old longevity star Zheng Haisheng's arm, appeared. This meant that the birthday feast had officially begun.

CHAPTER 104 - IT IS WORTH MILLIONS

Thank you all for coming to participate in this old one's birthday banquet. My life is only 70 years old, but I am very happy to be able to see so many young people.

Zheng Haisheng took over the microphone and said in a clear voice, If you keep talking, everyone will think I'm nagging. There's no difference in status today, nor is there any distinction between young and old. The guests who have come today are all hoping that everyone can eat and drink to their heart's content, and then return home. "

Whoosh.

Applause rang out everywhere.

Zheng Haisheng wanted to leave as soon as he finished his sentence. There was still one more seat in the inner hall, where the most respected guest was.

Seeing that her father was about to leave, Zheng Wen quickly glanced over at the women's seating area, then went close to Zheng Haisheng's ear and whispered in his ear.

What? Jun Lan is back? "

Zheng Haisheng exclaimed in surprise.

His exclamation quickly attracted the attention of the guests. At table number one, a man suddenly stood up, turned around and looked behind him, anxiously searching.

There were so many people in the upper class, and most of them were middle-aged. Therefore, most of them knew Xiao Junlan.

When Xiao Junlan was young, she was reputed to be a talented woman in Beijing. Upon hearing that she had come, many men turned around, their eyes full of curiosity.

Chen Yang looked deeply at Zheng Wen and stood up as well.

Sister Jun Lan, why aren't you coming over? Zheng Wen was very satisfied with the results and waved towards the woman, calling out to her.

Being stared at by so many people, Xiao Junlan's face turned red. Gritting her teeth, she stood up and walked towards Zheng Haisheng.

Everyone's gaze followed her figure, especially the middle-aged man at table one. His eyes were infatuated, and just as he was about to raise his hand, he quickly retracted it.

Uncle, I wish you good luck like the East Sea and a better life than Nanshan.

Hehe, it's good that you're back.

Zheng Haisheng looked at Xiao Junlan with a face full of love.

In the past, Xiao Junlan often went to the Zheng Family as a guest, natural and unrestrained, understanding and reasonable, deeply loved by Zheng Haisheng. It was a pity that such a thing had happened. Otherwise, he would have proposed marriage to the Xiao family himself.

Seeing that Zheng Haisheng's eyes were slightly red, Zheng Wen rolled his eyes and took Xiao Junlan's hand. She giggled, Sister Junlan, you used to come to my house often to get food. Today is my dad's 70th birthday, you didn't even prepare a present, did you?

The guests all smiled when they heard Zheng Wen's question.

The two girls had a good relationship back then, and Zheng Wen's tone was like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. Even after twenty years, they were still as close as ever.

Perhaps only Xiao Junlan knew that Zheng Wen intended to humiliate her in order to avenge what happened the day before yesterday. Although she trusted Chen Yang a lot, she was not confident in Chen Yang's gift!

Zheng Haisheng saw that Xiao Junlan was in a bit of a dilemma and immediately smiled, It's good that you're here. Why are you giving me this gift? Jun Lan, after the banquet ends, we'll have a good chat."

Dad, Sister Jun Lan said the day before yesterday that she would prepare a big gift. Zheng Wen interrupted.

Zheng Haisheng was stunned as he looked at Xiao Junlan and spoke with dissatisfaction, Child, you've come back a long time ago, why have you not come to see me?

Now that she was forced into a corner by Zheng Wen, Xiao Junlan couldn't help but tremble as she took out a red box from her pocket.

Zheng Wen quickly grabbed the box and opened it. Then, she exclaimed, Sister Jun Lan, is this the gift you've given to my father? After saying that, she picked up the red thread on the pendant. After taking a good look at the pendant's shape, her face immediately changed greatly. Xiao Junlan, what do you mean? Was the gift in the shape of a bullet delivered?

The moment he said this, the guests all looked towards the pendant, causing an uproar.

Even Zheng Haisheng looked at the pendant in surprise. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled as he took the pendant, Bullets, not bad, I really like it.

When Xiao Junlan heard this, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, Zheng Wen suddenly said, Dad, even if you like the shape of bullets, don't like it! Look at this jade, this carving technique is worth at most a few hundred dollars.

Shut up. It's a matter of courtesy and affection. Even if Jun Lan didn't gift me anything, I'd still be happy. "

Zheng Haisheng finally understood that his daughter was deliberately targeting Xiao Junlan and immediately shouted in a low voice. He then looked at Xiao Junlan: Junlan, I really like this present. You've troubled yourself."

As long as Uncle Zheng likes it.

Xiao Junlan forced a smile, wishing that she could find a hole to hide in.

Sigh, there are so many people here, all of them calling themselves successful people. A few hundred dollars, less than a million dollars. We'll leave immediately.

Seeing that no one knew what was going on, Chen Yang was speechless. He didn't want Xiao Junlan to take care of him, so he shouted loudly.

What did you say?

Who is that kid?

He said it was mother and son? It might be Xiao Junlan's son!

…

Hearing this, everyone was immediately displeased. This was clearly a map cannon. It had hit everyone.

What do you know, kid? I opened dozens of jewelry chains, and with a sweep of the jade, I knew what was in it. In our shop, three hundred yuan a piece is completely honest and honest.

Chen Yang chuckled and said, It's just those eyes of yours. It's just ordinary jade. The real treasure, you've never seen it before in your entire life.

That person was immediately enraged. He slammed the table and stood up, quickly walking up to Zheng Haisheng, respectfully saying: Elder Zheng, please allow me to appraise the jade.

At the same time, at table number 1, a middle-aged man stood up. He walked over and nodded at Zheng Haisheng, Uncle Zheng, can I have a look?

Zheng Haisheng looked at Xiao Junlan with a troubled expression. Xiao Junlan nodded slightly, It's alright, I believe in Xiao Yang.

Ai!

Zheng Haisheng frowned and handed the pendant to the two of them. The two of them observed the pendant carefully, and the person who first appeared said with disdain, This pendant is said to be overestimated by jade. At most, it is just a piece of trash, a thousand dollars for a pile of goods.

Ah! Xiao Junlan, I treated you as a sister in vain, and you actually gave my father this kind of trash? Hearing that, Zheng Wen was overjoyed, but her face was full of anger.

Wait.

Then, the person suddenly shouted at Zheng Wen and pondered for a moment. Then, the person suddenly yelled at Zheng Wen and pondered for a moment. The value of the jade is negligible, but in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, it's worth at least ten million. "

Worth ten million? Are you sure? Zheng Haisheng asked in surprise.

The middle-aged man nodded and looked around. He whispered something into Zheng Haisheng's ear, causing his expression to change. He quickly handed the pendant to Xiao Junlan, Jun Lan, this is too precious. I can't accept it.

Uncle, this is specially prepared for you.

Xiao Junlan did not pick up the phone, but heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Zheng Wen said in annoyance, Dad, what is this? How can it be worth 10 million?

Zheng Haisheng glared at him. What do you know? This amulet can save lives at critical moments, how can money be used to measure that?

The guests had just recovered from the shock and were once again stunned after hearing what Zheng Haisheng had said.

It could save lives. What was that?

Several middle-aged men with dignified expressions pondered for a moment. Suddenly, their eyes lit up as they looked at the bullet-shaped pendant in unison. Their expressions had completely changed.

CHAPTER 105 - BUYING AND SELLING

Perhaps the young people had only heard of Xiao Junlan's choices and experiences back then, but her peers were well aware of it.

What's more, many people were very clear about what happened afterwards.

For example, the one who stood up at table number 1. Not only did he know everything, he was also one of the people involved. If not for his father stopping him, he might have brought his men and ran to Seahold to fight it out with Chen Zhan.

The Xiao Clan used both black and white forces in their hopes of catching Xiao Junlan, but they were all wrecked by that man called Chen Zhan.

After a round of sparring, the Xiao Clan finally gave up.

After not seeing her for twenty years, everyone had heard that the man had long disappeared. They had thought that Xiao Junlan was having a tough time, but now they knew that it wasn't the case at all.

For someone who was able to gift him a birthday present so casually, it was impossible for him to put in so much effort just by thinking about it.

Zheng Wen looked at Xiao Junlan in shock and muttered, Impossible, this is impossible. How could she give a birthday present worth ten million yuan? Brother Zhao, what exactly is that? " Zheng Wen respectfully asked this middle-aged man without the slightest bit of arrogance.

Hearing that, Big Brother Zhao pondered for a moment before explaining, It might be hard to understand if you were to say it directly. For example, you know how precious this gift is. For example, when Uncle Zheng is old, mental weakness and even insomnia are common. However, as long as you wear this amulet, you will no longer have the pain of insomnia.

How is this possible?

Zheng Wen exclaimed and turned around to look at the guests. She noticed that the guests were all looking at each other in surprise. As for the few powerful middle-aged men at table number one, their eyes shone brightly as they pondered deeply.

Seeing that Zheng Wen was shocked, Brother Zhao chuckled and said, If it's just that, it's worth at most a million, but it has another characteristic. If an accident were to occur one day, even if only one person is able to survive, that person will definitely be the person who wore the protective talisman. "

Ah!

In the banquet hall, everyone heard this and drew in a breath of cold air.

It could actually save lives? The price was truly not high!

Brother Zhao seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. He turned his head to look at table number one and noticed that his old friends had suddenly realized something at the same time. Immediately, he felt even more satisfied. He then looked at Xiao Junlan and spoke gently, Sister Junlan, we haven't met in twenty years, have we?

Big Brother Zhao, it's been more than twenty years.

I didn't expect you to bring us such a pleasant surprise the moment you returned. Big Brother has a presumptuous request, I hope that you can agree to it. Big Brother Zhao said politely.

Xiao Junlan was stunned, Brother Zhao, please speak.

I wonder if you have any similar protective talismans? Big Brother Zhao sighed, My father is getting old and his mental state is getting worse. He often falls asleep at night and it's really painful. I want to ask you for a piece, as for the price, you name it.

Zhao Chen, it's not right to keep it for yourself. Little sister of the Xiao family, we could be considered to have met once back then. If you still have other protective talismans, you must leave one for me." Another middle-aged man stepped forward and said.

Haha, how can you miss me?

The middle-aged man who had stood up first laughed and walked to the front of Xiao Junlan. He looked at her and spoke with a complicated expression on his face, Jun Lan, are you doing well?

Whoosh.

There were actually three of the Four Great Families who wanted to buy amulets from Xiao Junlan?

When the guests saw this scene, they were all dumbstruck.

The appearance of the Wang Family had immediately attracted the attention of the three great families. Xiao Junlan had returned back to the sect with a strong momentum. As for why the Wang Family hadn't appeared yet, considering their relationship with each other, it was quite normal for them not to appear.

Wang Rong's face was ashen as he tightly held his teacup, not even noticing the teacup's fall.

Big Brother Zhao, Big Brother Tang, Duan Peng, this was prepared by Little Yang. I don't know if there's more. Xiao Junlan looked troubled as she turned to Chen Yang.

After hearing his words, Zhao Chen and the other two hurriedly followed her gaze. Noticing Chen Yang standing upright, Duan Peng's gaze dimmed, while Zhao Chen and Zhao Chen revealed expressions of surprise.

Chen Yang looked at the three of them one by one. When his gaze landed on Zhao Chen, it was slightly flickering, as if he was a little conflicted.

You three, today is Elder Deng's seventieth birthday. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to discuss business now?

Oh, yes, yes. We were in a hurry.

Hearing this, the three of them nodded in agreement, smiled at Chen Yang, and returned to their seats.

He gritted his teeth as he remembered the value of the pendant. He passed the pendant along with the box to Xiao Junlan, Jun Lan, this gift is too precious. You should take it back!

Seeing that Zheng Haisheng was about to refuse, Xiao Junlan helplessly said, Uncle, please accept it. This item was personally carved by Little Yang and was specially prepared for you. And I have one myself, if you don't believe me.

Personally carved?

Zheng Haisheng's face was full of suspicion, but he soon saw Xiao Junlan pull out a pendant from his neck.

Compared to his own, it was like heaven and earth. He couldn't bear to look at it directly.

He pursed his lips and smiled wryly as he kept the pendant and hung it around his neck.

Apparently, although his appearance was not that good, Zheng Haisheng was still very satisfied.

When Zhao Chen and the other two people heard this, they simultaneously turned to look at Xiao Junlan. When they saw the lightning bolt, they were immediately shocked.

They looked at each other, their gazes burning hotter and hotter.

If Zheng Haisheng's amulet was considered low-grade, then Xiao Junlan's amulet was definitely a rare treasure.

As Zheng Haiseng accepted the gift and chatted with Xiao Junlan for a while, he turned around and left. Only then did the birthday feast really begin.

Zheng Wen carried Zheng Hailun into the small hall. After returning, she stood at the door and stared at Xiao Junlan, gritting her teeth. After a while, a warm smile gradually appeared on her face as she walked over.

Sister Jun Lan, I was in the wrong the day before yesterday. I apologize to you.

Xiao Junlan smiled, It's alright. Young people have a strong temper. It's normal for them to fight.

Zheng Wen choked and forced a smile, Sister Jun Lan, all these years, I've always wanted to visit you in Haicheng, but I really don't have the time. Right, I heard that the scenery in Hai Cheng is beautiful and the air is fresh, why don't you introduce it to me? "

Alright!

Xiao Junlan had a calm personality, so she treated people warmly. Zheng Wen also tried to please her, so the two quickly became one. Xiao Nan then joined in, and in the blink of an eye, the whole table formed a circle with Xiao Junlan as the center.

After all, everyone could tell that Xiao Junlan was very confident this time. It was much better to be on good terms with her than to offend her.

Even the two ladies they met at the entrance of the hotel came over to chat. They seemed to be afraid that Xiao Junlan would turn around and take revenge on them.

Chen Yang retracted his gaze from Xiao Junlan and revealed a faint smile.

Here, cheers.

Delighted, he first raised his wine cup to the people at his table.

Xiao Qiang and Fang Zhentian felt like they were minding their own business. They hurriedly raised their cups in response, and the atmosphere in the banquet became harmonious in the blink of an eye.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes.

Xiao Qiang reeked of alcohol as he looked drunkenly at Chen Yang. He asked hesitantly, Brother Chen, can you give me one of those protective talismans?

For you?

Chen Yang had a weird expression on his face. He noticed that Fang Zhentian was also looking at him with a bright gaze. He then smiled and said, Be a good little brother for now. One day, I'll be satisfied. I'll make sure to share with you.

CHAPTER 106 - HUANG XING'S MASTER

This is simply going too far.

As soon as the banquet ended, he saw the other three families all walking towards Chen Yang, competing to get to know him. Wang Rong was completely enraged, so he flung his sleeves and quickly left.

Dad, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything to that kid anymore. Wang Cheng sighed with a gloomy face.

Don't I know? The Xiao family, Yan, and Xue family stood behind him, and it was already difficult for them to deal with him. Now that we've gotten to know another three families, once they start fighting, the Tang Clan might be happy to watch the show. But that infatuated Duan Peng and Zhao Chen will surely add insult to injury. If we want to take care of him, it will be extremely difficult."

When he thought about facing all these families at the same time, Wang Rong completely lost his sense of propriety and spoke with a helpless look on his face.

Should we just let it go like this?

What else can we do if we don't? After today, Chen Yang is already full, so what can we do to him? Wang Rong said unhappily.

For a time, the father and son pair looked at each other and fell into silence. He walked to the parking lot and found the car. Wang Cheng got in the car and opened the door. He waited for Wang Rong to get in before getting in.

Drive.

Wang Cheng patted the front seat and unhappily ordered. After he finished speaking, he noticed that there was no reaction from the driver and was immediately infuriated. I told you to drive, did you not hear me?

You mean me?

With a hoarse voice, the man in the driver's seat suddenly turned his head and grinned, revealing a jagged set of teeth. It seemed like he had not brushed his teeth for many years. His teeth were black in the middle of the yellow, and his mouth almost smoked Wang Rong and his son to the ground.

Seeing his respectful appearance, Wang Cheng glared at his and shouted, Who are you? Get out of the car immediately, or else don't blame me for being rude.

Youngster, your temper isn't good. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: I heard that you recently sent someone to investigate Huang Xing, he is my disciple.

Huang Xing?

When Wang Cheng heard this, he was stunned. He then looked at his father and said unhappily, So you are Huang Xing's master. You came at the perfect time. He accepted a million yuan from me and promised to help me teach this disobedient brat a lesson. I thought he meant what he said, but now he's gone. "

The middle-aged man sneered, He didn't go missing at all, he was killed.

What?

Wang Cheng exclaimed, Impossible! Zhao Zihan was still alive and well, without any abnormalities. He had not made a move yet, so how could he have been killed? Did he offend someone else? "

I'll have to ask you that. In the past year, he has been safe and sound but he was only killed in Beijing in a month. If you can't find the killer, I will have you be buried with him."

After saying the last two words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up with a bloody light. Combined with his strange appearance, he looked like an evil ghost that had just walked out of hell.

Upon being stared at by the middle-aged man, Wang Cheng's face instantly turned deathly pale and he unconsciously shivered. All of the hairs on his body stood on end. The lump in his throat made it difficult for him to utter a single word.

Wang Rong was also frightened by the middle-aged man, but after going through a lot, he forced himself to open his mouth and asked, Mister, what is your surname?

Situ.

Mister Situ, I can assure you that we have nothing to do with your disciple's death. If Mister Situ trusts me, I will send someone to investigate. I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days.

Situ Yu glanced at Wang Rong, You'd better not lie to me. Although I can't destroy the Wang family, killing you and your son is as easy as flipping my palm.

Of course, of course. Wang Rong nodded repeatedly as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Wait for me here at noon the day after tomorrow.

After Situ had finished speaking, he pushed the door open and got off the carriage. It was only after he had left for a long time that Wang Rong and his son regained their senses. They both looked at each other, fear still lingering in their hearts.

Dad, that person is too scary!

I know. Wang Rong took a deep breath and said, Go all out to find the culprit.

Wang Cheng asked hesitantly, What if we can't find it?

It's impossible to not find it. Don't forget, there's another expert in the hotel.

Wang Rong's mouth curved into a sneer. He was worried that he would not be able to take revenge, but a mutant had suddenly appeared. It was as if someone was sending him a pillow while he was napping.

Obviously, regardless of whether they could find the person who killed Huang Xing or not, Chen Yang was the scapegoat. In fact, it couldn't even be considered as a 'black pot'. It could only be said that Wang Rong had made the right decision due to an accident.

Inside the hotel, the guests said their goodbyes one after another. Even those who wanted to get close to Chen Yang had wisely chosen to pay their next visit when they saw Zhao Chen and the other two approaching.

Little brother, I'm Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen first introduced himself, then asked with a face full of smiles: Little Brother, that protective talisman came from you?

Duan Peng and Zhang Xuan stood beside Zhao Chen and looked at Chen Yang at the same time, their eyes filled with curiosity. Especially Duan Peng, when he thought of how Xiao Junlan's son he felt that his search was somewhat complicated.

Chen Yang sat on the chair, fiddling with his wine cup as he glanced at the three of them. A small trick, not worth mentioning.

Eh?

Zhao Chen was speechless. How could a simple move like this be considered great skill!

The Zhao Family did know a few experts, but only one of them was able to refine a protective talisman so easily. From this, it could be seen that anyone who could refine a magic tool was an outstanding expert. Even if they could not cooperate, they absolutely could not offend him.

Thinking about it, Zhao Chen became even more courteous. You must be joking, little brother, what do you think about our proposal just now? I don't need to request for the level to be too high, as long as it's about the same as the one I gave to Uncle Zheng."

Not bad, not bad. Little brother, let us accept this favor. If we encounter trouble in the future, our Tang Clan will definitely not sit idly by and watch.

Duan Peng opened his mouth, but couldn't say the words little brother. He could only nod in agreement.

You should know that making protective talismans is easy, but refining magic tools is not. It's not like you can do it after just three days as a master. Chen Yang's face was full of smiles. Especially regarding the materials. The better the materials, the higher the level.

Of course.

How could Zhao Chen and the others not see that Chen Yang was raising the price? However, it was indeed difficult to obtain a protective talisman, so this was not too excessive.

How about this, seeing that you guys know my mom, the production fee is 10 million, the materials are ready. Chen Yang slapped the table and stood up, resolutely saying, The more the better, the better quality it is. I'll keep half of the materials and the other half to make amulets. Each family will receive one, and the remaining materials will be returned to you. "

No problem.

The three of them nodded without any hesitation. As long as the protective talisman was not damaged, it would be sufficient for
