Chapter 772: Chapter 772: The Third Young Master of the Tang Family_1

A banquet had many disciples looking at Jiang Chen with several more measures of respect.

After the banquet concluded, Lin Jiuxiao rearranged the defense for the key members of the Lu Family and those from the Zhuge Family along the river.

Jiang Chen followed Jiang Minglong to his residence, where father and son talked late into the night.

The next day, Jiang Minglong, with the full text of the ”Chixiao Art” he had written, took Jiang Chen to bid farewell to Lin Jiuxiao and others. Upon hearing that Jiang Chen and his father were leaving, all seven Great Elders came to the sect’s main hall.

”Minglong, you should spend more time at home on this trip down the mountain, but your cultivation must not fall behind!” Lin Jiuxiao instructed with a light smile.

Jiang Minglong nodded heavily, ”Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely work hard on my cultivation.”

”Wushuang, following Minglong down the mountain this time, listen more to Minglong and Mr. Jiang, do not act based on your own preferences, understand?” Li Zhengqiu glanced at Li Wushuang standing behind Jiang Minglong.

Li Wushuang and Chen Qianshui were Jiang Minglong’s Protector Disciples, naturally wherever Jiang Minglong went, they would follow. Protector Disciples are a combination of bodyguards and assistants.

”Yes, Master!” Li Wushuang responded.

After exchanging goodbyes with one another, Jiang Chen and his companions headed down the mountain.

Along the way, all the Chixiao Sect disciples who saw Jiang Chen and his group bowed and greeted them, their gazes towards Jiang Chen filled with respect.

The group descended the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, a stretched Bentley was already waiting there.

”President Lu?” Jiang Chen asked in surprise as he looked at Lu Chengfeng beside the Bentley.

Lu Chengfeng stepped forward with a face full of gratitude and gave Jiang Chen a deep bow, ”Mr. Jiang, thank you!”

”No need for formalities, President Lu, you’ve helped me a lot too!” Jiang Chen said with a smile, glancing at a Semi Innate Grandmaster standing behind Lu Chengfeng.

”Mr. Jiang!” that Semi Innate Grandmaster also bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.

Li Wushuang laughed lightly looking at the Semi Innate, ”Sun Liang, you must take good care of President Lu, he is Mr. Jiang’s friend, after all.”

”Don’t worry, Brother Wushuang. If anyone wants to harm President Lu, they will have to step over my dead body first,” Sun Liang said with solemn respect.

”You know him?” Jiang Chen turned to look at Li Wushuang.

Li Wushuang nodded respectfully, ”Sun Liang is my junior brother, the foremost among the Semi Innates in our sect.”

”Mr. Jiang, I have an impudent request, and I hope you can grant it,” Lu Chengfeng said nervously to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen asked with curiosity, ”What is it, President Lu?”

”It’s like this, today is my daughter’s birthday, and I would like to invite Mr. Jiang and everyone else to join the birthday dinner, if you would...” Lu Chengfeng nervously began.

Jiang Chen blinked and smiled slightly, ”Sure, it’s okay to go back a couple of days later, just don’t know if someone can hold back from missing their wife?”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen teasingly looked at Jiang Minglong.

Jiang Minglong glared at Jiang Chen, then turned to Lu Chengfeng with gratitude, ”If it weren’t for President Lu, our father and son might not have been able to meet so soon. Of course, we will attend if President Lu invites us.”

”I dared not presume!” Lu Chengfeng quickly waved his hands and turned to gesture towards the stretched Bentley.

Jiang Chen and the others got into the car, with Chen Qianshui driving Jiang Chen’s car, while everyone else got into the stretched Bentley.

After driving for most of the day, the sky had already darkened when they returned to Lu Chengfeng’s estate villa.

The car stopped at the entrance of the villa, where the decorations and tables for the evening banquet had already been set up in the courtyard, and some young men and women had arrived early.

”Let me first show you to your rooms!” Lu Chengfeng said respectfully after getting out of the car.

”Alright, we’ll have to trouble you tonight, Mr. Lu!” Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

Lu Chengfeng waved his hands repeatedly: ”No trouble at all, no trouble!”

Turning to lead the way, Lu Chengfeng brought the group into the villa.

”Who are those people?” A young man in the courtyard asked his companion curiously, ”They seem to be of high status, with Mr. Lu personally receiving them.”

”Not sure, but seeing how Mr. Lu is, it’s best not to provoke them and avoid unnecessary trouble,” another young man replied, gently shaking his head.

”What high status, it’s just a nouveau riche from Dingjing that happened to have some connections with Mr. Lu’s ancestors. Mr. Lu is just honoring the old friendship,” a mocking voice chimed in.

The crowd turned to look, and the speaker was a middle-aged man accompanied by a beautiful woman and an attractive young lady, all three walking towards the courtyard.

The young man who spoke first brightened up and stepped forward to greet them: ”Uncle Xiao, Auntie, Na Na, you’re here too.”

”Jun Cheng, how have you been lately? I’ve heard your Zhuge Family is now calling the shots along the river!” Xiao Anjun said politely.

Zhuge Juncheng smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with pride, but he replied modestly, ”Not at all, our Zhuge Family can’t dominate alone along the river. Look, Tang Feng, the Third Young Master of the Tang Family, is also here.”

”Oh? The Third Young Master of the Tang Family is here too?” Xiao Anjun’s expression changed.

The Third Young Master of the Tang Family, Tang Feng, was known as a business prodigy along the river. The Zhuge Family, not being favored by the Chixiao Sect and lacking certain support, could only claim to be barely first-class among the martial arts powers along the river.

However, because the young lady of the Zhuge Family fell in love with Tang Feng, within three years, he leveraged his talent to elevate the Zhuge Family directly to one of the top six financial powers along the river.

In a place like this, where the business world was intertwined with martial arts forces, to secure a spot as one of the top six financial powers with a purely commercial family showed that Tang Feng’s skills were extraordinary.

”Uncle Xiao, let’s head over,” Zhuge Juncheng said, nodding toward where Tang Feng was.

”Alright!”

Xiao Anjun spoke excitedly, knowing that if he could get on Tang Feng’s good side, the Xiao Family’s business could break into the river region!

Within the villa compound, there was a corner that stood out for not fitting in with the rest, where a young man quietly appreciated a glass of red wine, leaning against a table. The young men and women around looked at Tang Feng with eyes full of reverence and a hint of fear.

”Third Young Master,” Zhuge Juncheng brought Xiao Anjun and his family over to Tang Feng and spoke respectfully.

Even though Tang Feng was Zhuge Juncheng’s brother-in-law, he didn’t dare act superior in front of him. This was a person of great repute along the river, and a genius of his time!

Tang Feng looked up and glanced at Xiao Anjun and his family standing behind Zhuge Juncheng, pausing slightly as his eyes rested on Xiao Yunna’s face before turning to Zhuge Juncheng, ”Is she the Xiao Yunna you fancy?”

”Ah... this is Na Na. Third Young Master, this is her father, Xiao Anjun, the head of the Xiao Family, and this is her mother, Chen Lan,” Zhuge Juncheng introduced the Xiao family.

Tang Feng raised his glass towards the Xiao family, giving a slight nod, but without uttering a word.

The air of arrogance was palpable in his demeanor.
