Chapter 425 Chen Luo Appears!

However, Han Qi didn’t feel that he had suffered humiliation for nothing that day.

He believed his words had influenced Chen Luo and he had obtained a piece of information.

That is, between Chen Luo and Fang Yu, there must be a battle.

And once these two fight, there will certainly be casualties!

At that time, it will be Han Qi’s opportunity.

He will definitely seize this opportunity to return the humiliation he suffered tenfold upon Chen Luo!

Han Qi stood in place, his eyes flashing with murderous intent and hatred.

Not far away in the crowd, a man noticed this scene, a cold smile appearing on his face.

……

Zhao Jidao sat in the Chen family’s reception hall, chatting and laughing with the Chen family elder.

“Your Chen family’s generation is truly going to soar like dragons, Old Chen,” Zhao Jidao smiled.

The Chen elder chuckled and replied: “Not quite like dragons, but Luo does have some talent in martial arts.”

A martial saint under thirty, and that’s just “some talent”?

Isn’t that too modest?

People nearby who heard this remark showed strange expressions.

“Your Chen Luo is almost thirty now, shouldn’t he be settling down and starting a family? With his natural gifts, the martial talent of his children would likely be exceptional as well,” Zhao Jidao said, narrowing his eyes.

These words struck at the elder Chen’s heart.

He was the only one in the family who knew Chen Luo’s true identity.

He knew clearly that at a certain point in time, Chen Luo would definitely leave the Chen family.

In recent days, the Chen elder had been thinking about how to keep Chen Luo, or how to maintain the Chen family’s prosperity after Chen Luo’s departure.

Soon, he thought of a solution.

That was a marriage alliance.

To have Chen Luo marry and have children.

If Chen Luo had offspring and a spouse, he would have attachments to the Chen family and wouldn’t easily leave.

Additionally, there was the issue of natural talent that Zhao Jidao mentioned.

Although this point was rather intangible and uncertain, the belief that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes was a principle that people of the Nine Provinces had always believed in.

If they could produce a child with talent similar to Chen Luo’s, then the Chen family’s prosperity could continue for a long time.

“Luo has been immersed in the path of martial arts and hasn’t had time for romance. But it is indeed time for him to start a family, though there are no candidates yet. I wonder if Chairman Zhao has any recommendations?” the Chen elder smiled.

“Hehe, my eldest son Zhao Wu has a son and a daughter. You’ve probably heard of Zhao Xuan, and his sister Zhao Zinan is twenty-two this year, a suitable age for marriage,” Zhao Jidao smiled.

“Zhao Zinan? Chairman Zhao, I truly hadn’t heard before that you had a granddaughter,” the Chen elder said with surprise.

“Zinan herself is rather low-key, so she rarely appears in public,” Zhao Jidao said. “Today I had Zhao Xuan bring her along. You can meet her later, and also let Chen Luo meet her.”

The Chen elder looked at Zhao Jidao and said with a smile: “Chairman Zhao, you want to become in-laws with me?”

“Hahaha, it mainly depends on whether they’re suitable for each other. If they are, I certainly wouldn’t mind, but it’s up to you and your Chen Luo,” Zhao Jidao laughed heartily.

The surrounding guests who witnessed this scene understood.

The Zhao family wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Chen family.

For both families, this would be a win-win situation.

The Zhao family would gain reputation, and the Chen family would gain resources.

In Huaibei, there weren’t many families qualified to form a marriage alliance with the Chen family, and the Zhao family happened to be one of them.

……

At eleven in the morning, the Chen family banquet officially began.

The Chen elder, as the spokesperson, walked onto the martial arts platform and said a few words, after which the guests began to eat.

Strangely, however, today’s main character, Chen Luo, had not yet appeared.

“Chen Luo is preparing for the upcoming martial arts conference. He will come out to meet everyone later,” the Chen elder explained.

After the banquet began, Zhao Xuan led Zhao Zinan toward the Chen elder’s table.

“Brother… where are you taking me?” Seeing more and more people as they walked, Zhao Zinan asked timidly.

“To meet the master of this house. Don’t be afraid, just boldly greet them, understand?” Zhao Xuan said.

“I’ll… try my best…” Zhao Zinan said.

A moment later, Zhao Xuan arrived at the table where the Chen elder and Chen Nansheng were seated.

Zhao Jidao was chatting and laughing with the family.

“Oh? You’re here. Quick, say hello,” Zhao Jidao looked at Zhao Xuan and said.

“Elder Chen, Master Chen, Madam Lu, hello. I am Zhao Xuan, and this is my sister Zhao Zinan,” Zhao Xuan pulled Zhao Zinan forward.

Facing a table of strangers, Zhao Zinan didn’t dare to raise her head. Her ears turned red and her body trembled slightly.

“H-hello…”

Zhao Zinan’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

Chen Nansheng and his wife stared at Zhao Zinan but couldn’t see her face.

Zhao Jidao frowned and gave Zhao Xuan a look.

Zhao Xuan immediately leaned close to Zhao Zinan’s ear and whispered: “Zinan, raise your head, don’t be afraid, I’m right beside you.”

Zhao Zinan gathered her courage and raised her head.

Seeing Zhao Zinan’s appearance, everyone at the table’s expressions changed.

Especially Chen Nansheng and his wife.

In terms of appearance, Zhao Zinan was indeed a good match for Chen Luo.

“Zinan, greet Elder Chen and Master Chen,” Zhao Jidao said.

Zhao Zinan’s red lips moved, but no words came out.

Under the gaze of these people, she quickly lowered her head again.

“She’s a bit shy,” Zhao Xuan explained.

Zhao Jidao’s expression wasn’t very pleased.

“It’s alright, it’s normal for girls to be shy… hehe,” the Chen elder smiled.

At this moment, Zhao Zinan couldn’t bear it anymore and suddenly ran away.

“Zinan!” Zhao Xuan’s expression changed. He turned to apologize to the Chen family at the table, then chased after her.

The Chen family members looked at each other.

Zhao Jidao’s face turned ashen.

……

“Damn! We’re late.” Fang Yu followed Qin Lang into the banquet hall, seeing people already eating at various tables, feeling somewhat frustrated.

“It’s fine, we should still be able to find a place to eat something,” Qin Lang looked around and said.

Soon, he spotted an empty table in the corner.

“Let’s go over there, Mr. Fang,” Qin Lang said.

Fang Yu also saw the empty table, his eyes brightening as he walked quickly over with Qin Lang.

The two sat down at the empty table.

Fang Yu immediately started eating, while Qin Lang looked around to see if there were any acquaintances.

“Today’s banquet actually has so many people attending… there must be at least eighty tables here? Almost all of them are full,” Qin Lang said in surprise.

After a while, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from behind.

“Zinan, stop running, I really won’t take you back there,” Zhao Xuan said helplessly.

Qin Lang heard the commotion and turned his head to see Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan also saw Fang Yu and Qin Lang.

“Young Master Qin, Young Master Fang?” Zhao Xuan was stunned.

Seeing these two strangers, Zhao Zinan once again hid behind Zhao Xuan.

“Just sit down here. There are only two people at this table, you won’t be afraid now, right?” Zhao Xuan said.

Then, Zhao Xuan looked up at Fang Yu, who was eating heartily, and horror appeared in his eyes.

He hadn’t forgotten how miserable Ares looked after being beaten that night.

Now Fang Yu appeared at the Qin family banquet as if nothing had happened, which further confirmed Zhao Xuan’s previous thoughts.

Fang Yu must be the young master of some powerful family in Yan City! With an extremely strong background!

After all, even Qin Lang’s attitude toward him was somewhat respectful!

“This is my sister, Zhao Zinan. She’s quite shy, please understand,” Zhao Xuan introduced.

Zhao Zinan timidly glanced at Qin Lang and Fang Yu, sat down next to Zhao Xuan, wringing her hands and not moving.

Fang Yu glanced at Zhao Zinan and continued to eat with his head down.

Since Fang Yu and Qin Lang arrived too late, the guests at other tables had almost finished eating.

They all walked toward the nearby martial arts field.

After the banquet, the martial arts conference was about to begin.

The crowd gathered on the flat ground of the martial arts field, surrounding the built-up combat platform.

Zhao Jidao, as the chairman of the Martial Arts Association, walked onto the combat platform, first delivered a long official speech, and then announced: “The Martial Arts Conference officially begins!”

Four elderly men in black stood at the four directions of the combat platform, forming hand seals.

A pale blue light screen appeared, enveloping the entire combat platform.

This light screen could prevent the impact of the duel on the platform from affecting the surrounding crowd.

The martial arts conference was about to begin, but there was a commotion among the crowd.

Why hadn’t Chen Luo appeared yet?

Most of them had come here just to see the style of the young Martial Saint!

Just as everyone was puzzled, a suffocating aura descended from the sky, enveloping everyone!

Fang Yu, who was eating heartily at a table in a distant corner, raised his head and looked toward the top of the combat platform.

“Crack…”

About fifty meters above the combat platform, purple lightning suddenly appeared.

These lightning bolts gathered together, forming an even larger bolt of lightning!

“Boom!”

A sudden explosion in the air startled the surrounding crowd, causing them to cry out in alarm.

And the light screen formed by the four elderly men in black was instantly dispersed!

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, a black mist suddenly appeared within the lightning.

The black mist violently expanded, taking human form.

A moment later, the black mist dispersed.

A black figure appeared in mid-air.

Chen Luo had arrived!
