The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

255: Chapter 251: Blocked Outside (Second Update!) 255: Chapter 251: Blocked Outside (Second Update!) In the following days, Lin Tian put everything else out of his mind and devoted all his time to refining the Star Python Tendon, except for attending classes.

The Star Python Tendon was the other half required to complete the magical treasure he envisioned.

Only by combining it with the partially finished “Evil like Xiaotian” could he refine the complete lifebound magical treasure he desired.

With just one day left before the appraisal cocktail party, Dongfang Yu unexpectedly sent a suit for him to wear, insisting that it was mandatory for the event, so Lin Tian had no choice but to go to Chongming District to collect it.

This was because Dongfang Yu didn’t know about another villa he owned at Guanlan Mountain.

After retrieving the black suit, Lin Tian looked it over and couldn’t discern what was special about it.

It didn’t seem any different from the clothes he saw at street stalls.

“This guy, he couldn’t be making a fool out of me, could he?

But since it’s a gesture from him, why not wear it!” he thought.

He neatly put away the clothes and sank back into refining the Star Python Tendon.

However,

what he didn’t know was that the suit in front of him was a custom-made one, the kind that not just anyone with money could get their hands on.

Time quickly passed and it was Friday night.

Lin Tian once again immersed himself in the refinement of the Star Python Tendon.

He refined like this for an entire day and night.

The next evening, which was Saturday, approaching six o’clock, Lin Tian washed up and somewhat awkwardly put on the black suit that Dongfang Yu had provided before leaving his house.

Originally, Dongfang Yu said he would come to pick him up, but Lin Tian had refused.

He certainly did not want his treasure refining interrupted by anyone.

The Sea Blue Hotel was one of the few five-star hotels in Bin City.

Lin Tian hailed a cab and headed straight there.

Getting out of the car, he looked up at the thirty-story glass facade building and inwardly marveled before making his way toward it.

Sea Blue Hotel!

These grand characters were wrapped in neon lights and hung in the most conspicuous place on the hotel.

The ground parking lot in front of the building was lined with rows of luxury cars extending all the way to the underground parking entrance.

Arriving at the hotel’s front door, Lin Tian prepared to step inside.

The appraisal cocktail party was being held on the second floor; it would be easy to find.

But, after only a few steps, Lin Tian was stopped by two security guards at the door.

“Good evening, sir.

The entire Sea Blue Restaurant has been reserved for tonight!

If you are here for the appraisal cocktail party, please present your invitation or a Quota Card!” one of the security guards said politely.

Several welcome ladies, dressed in form-fitting qipaos and smiling, stood beside the two security guards, looking at Lin Tian.

“Sorry, I don’t have an invitation or a Quota Card!”

Lin Tian replied with an apologetic smile, “However, I was invited by Dongfang Yu!

You can check it out!”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two security guards darkened, and the previously speaking one scoffed, “Check it out?

Do you know we’re working right now?

Running to check so many lists would waste so much time!

Hmph, just look at how you’re dressed; it’s obvious you’re trying to sneak in!

With so many prestigious and notable people in Bin City, all recognizable, if everyone could get in just by dropping names, what would we be standing here for?

Idiot, get lost quickly, don’t block the other big shots from coming in.

If you offend someone, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”

Lin Tian frowned and gave the two security guards a cold look, but he didn’t make a scene.

After all, without an invitation or a Quota Card, their refusal to let him in was by the book.

Dongfang Yu, you’re really unreliable!

Lin Tian muttered to himself and then politely said to the security guard, “I really was invited here, by a person named Dongfang Yu.

Just check and you’ll know!”

“Freaking hell!

Showing off when someone’s giving you face?

You’re expecting us to check for your broke ass, and what if we don’t find anything?

Can you afford to waste the time of the other big shots?”

Another silent security guard suddenly burst out angrily, “You idiot, either scram or I’ll throw you out onto the street!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian’s expression darkened completely.

At that moment, a person walked over from the hotel lobby.

“What’s going on here, what’s all this noise about?”

The newcomer was a portly man of average height whose flesh nearly swallowed up his eyes.

“Manager Luu!”

Upon seeing the chubby man emerge, the two security guards quickly greeted him with respect.

Then one of them explained the situation to Manager Luu.

Listening to the security guard, Manager Luu frowned deeply and scolded Lin Tian, “Where did you come from, you idiot?

Scram!

Do you know where this is?

A five-star hotel!

And tonight, there’s a top-notch Treasure Appraisal Gala happening.

Kid, don’t stir up trouble, or the outcome won’t be pleasant for you!

If we let in every beggar off the street who claims to know a big shot, this Sea Blue Hotel would turn into a soup kitchen!

Get lost…”

Manager Luu gestured at Lin Tian repeatedly, shooing him away as if he were chasing away a fly.

Just as Lin Tian was about to reluctantly pull out his mobile phone to call Dongfang Yu, two people happened to walk by, seemingly guests heading to the gala.

“Manager Luu, you’re out here welcoming guests so early!”

A booming laugh ensued as a portly middle-aged man, accompanied by a woman, approached Manager Luu to greet him.

“Boss Shen, you’ve arrived really early!

And this must be Mrs.

Shen beside you, so young!”

Manager Luu, seeing the arrivals, immediately put on a smile and obsequiously said, “There’s a guy here trying to sneak in, which I came here to deal with!

Boss Shen, Mrs.

Shen, please go inside!”

“Dexian, wait a moment!”

Suddenly, the woman holding onto Shen Dexian’s arm stopped, turned to Lin Tian, and with a look of surprise exclaimed, “Lin Tian, what are you doing here?”

Hearing his name called, Lin Tian couldn’t help but look up.

When he recognized the face before him, which was both familiar and strange, Lin Tian was taken aback.

The woman, elegantly dressed and exuding a mature charm, was actually Qian Xinru!

Lin Tian hadn’t seen Qian Xinru at school for a while, and he heard from many people that she had dropped out of school.

It looked like she had latched onto a wealthy man!

“I’m here to attend the gala too, but I don’t have an invitation, so I can’t get in!”

Lin Tian’s expression was calm as he spoke plainly.

“You’re here for the gala?

Do you even know what this place is?

One of Bin City’s top hotels, a gathering place for the social elite!”

Qian Xinru’s attitude towards Lin Tian had changed from her initial awe-inspired disappointment to one that was more haughty and assertive as she pointed to the hotel and shook her head, “Don’t think being good at running makes you important!

Even if you work hard for another ten years, at best you may barely be able to enter!

Every invitation card they send out here is extremely valuable!

Look, this is my boyfriend, Shen Dexian, the Chairman of Bin City Private Group!

With him, I’ve saved myself half a lifetime of struggle!”

“Who is he?”

Shen Dexian walked over, scrutinized Lin Tian, and asked.

“Darling, this guy is my ex-boyfriend!

But rest assured, I’ve never done anything with him!

Moreover, it was he who pestered me to death, nearly begging on his knees to be together!

And now he’s delusional enough to think he can attend the gala here!”

Qian Xinru hooked her arm back into Shen Dexian’s, speaking coquettishly.

“Oh, so this guy, dressed in street stall goods, has come to attend the gala, is he kidding?”

Shen Dexian scoffed at Lin Tian’s attire.
