Chapter 300: The Shock of the Guests
“Who’s here to congratulate us? A distinguished guest of the Zhang family or the Bai family?”
“All the distinguished guests of the Zhang family are already here. On the other hand, I heard that the Bai family has close ties to the military. Could they be from the military?”
“Such a private airship appears to be the latest model of Deep Blue. Ordinary people can’t buy it at all. The person who came must be of a distinguished status.”
As the airship gradually landed in front of the hotel, everyone’s gaze was focused on it. Bai Jing and Zhang Qiji were also curious. Who could it be?
Crunch.
!!
The cabin door of the airship opened, and two figures flew out of it. Qu Chen held Lin Feng’s hand and slowly landed on the ground.
“Zhang Qiji, what’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?”
Lin Feng looked at Zhang Qiji’s dumbfounded expression and smiled. He was the first to greet Zhang Qiji.
How could Zhang Qiji not know Lin Feng? He was all too familiar with him. Not only Zhang Qiji, but some of the other guests at the entrance of the hotel also had their mouths agape, looking stunned.
Why would Lin Feng, the tenth Sage of humanity, appear here?
“Sage Lin Feng…”
Zhang Qiji went forward excitedly to welcome Lin Feng, but Lin Feng shook his head and said, “Qiji, that’s not how you called me in the past.”
“Bro… Brother Feng!”
Zhang Qiji’s face was flushed. In the past, when he was in the Myriad Academy, he had always called him Brother Feng. But now, Brother Feng’s status and ident.i.ty were completely different.
He was the tenth Sage of humanity!
The moment he opened his mouth, his mere form of address made everyone gasp.
Brother Feng? So Zhang Qiji had such a close relationship with Sage Lin Feng. And they had wanted to see Zhang Qiji and his son make a fool of themselves previously. They must have lost their minds.
Hence, many people felt that something was amiss and hurriedly ran into the hotel. What a joke. A renowned Sage had arrived. Were they supposed to just wait inside without regard?
Lin Feng led Qu Chen step by step to Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing. Qu Chen was also dressed to the nines today. She did not want to embarra.s.s Lin Feng. Hence, in her luxurious attire and with Qu Chen’s beautiful appearance, she surpa.s.sed Bai Jing in terms of both bearing and beauty.
However, Bai Jing wasn’t displeased at all. From the looks of it, Lin Feng and Qu Chen must have a close relationship. She might even be Lin Feng’s wife, the wife of a Sage. Just this t.i.tle alone made her lose all desire for comparison.
“Brother… Brother Feng, you really came. Why didn’t you inform me?”
Zhang Qiji was so excited that he was incoherent. At this moment, he did not even need to look at the expressions of the others to know what they were thinking.
All his previous aggravation, grievance, and anger were swept away. Compared to Lin Feng, these were nothing.
“Qiji, I didn’t expect you to be so fast. You really married Miss Bai Jing. Miss Bai Jing, you’ll have to discipline Qiji properly in the future. I reckon only you can handle Qiji.”
Lin Feng said jokingly. In the past, in Myriad Academy, Zhang Qiji followed Lin Feng around every day like a lackey. Hence, Lin Feng also knew Zhang Qiji’s personality. He was pretty much a playboy who’d feel like something was lacking if he did not go out to have fun for a day.
He didn’t expect Zhang Qiji to be able to succeed in pursuing Bai Jing. From the looks of it, Bai Jing had also subdued Zhang Qiji. Lin Feng was genuinely happy for them.
“Brother Feng, please come in!”
Zhang Qiji scratched his head. He realized that apart from the fact that Lin Feng’s gaze was deeper and his aura was different, he was still the same Brother Feng from before.
“By the way, I still haven’t pa.s.sed you your gift!”
Lin Feng glanced at Qu Chen, who took out an exquisite box. She smiled at Bai Jing and said, “We wish you a happy marriage. This is a small token from Lin Feng and me.”
Bai Jing hurriedly took the box. When she opened it, there was an emerald gem inside. However, it looked a little different from ordinary gems. There was a hint of warmth in her hand.
Lin Feng smiled and said, “If you wear this gem over time, it can slowly improve your physique and protect you from many ailments.”
Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing loved it. Although they didn’t know the price, they knew that it was too valuable.
This gem was indeed very valuable. Lin Feng had bought it from the Martial Domain Network’s online shop. It was discovered in the body of a demon general killed by a Divine Realm martial artist.
The cost was as high as 50 merit value!
Although this gem was somewhat miraculous and could slowly improve one’s physique, its efficiency was too slow. Moreover, it could only improve one’s physique. Many martial artists above the Metamorphic Realm were unwilling to pay such a huge price to purchase it.
Lin Feng felt that this gem was very beautiful and suitable for ordinary people. Hence, he bought it as a wedding gift for Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing.
“It’s for you, so just take it!”
A few dozen merit value was nothing much to Lin Feng.
Hence, Zhang Qiji personally led the way and brought Lin Feng and Qu Chen into the hotel.
…
At this moment, the Third Young Master of the Zhang family was tasting red wine with a satisfied expression on his face. He was chatting and laughing with the Legate in a low voice. There was also a wave of compliments around. Everyone knew that Zhang Qiji and his father were finished. In the future, the ones in charge of the Zhang family would definitely be the Third Young Master and his father.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, accompanied by faint exclamations.
“What happened?”
The Third Young Master of the Zhang family’s expression darkened.
“Third Young Master, a distinguished guest seems to have arrived.”
“Distinguished guest? Are they from the Bai family or the Zhang family?”
“I’m not sure, but Zhang Qiji’s father has already stood up to welcome him. He should be a distinguished guest of the Zhang family.”
“All the distinguished guests of the Zhang family have arrived. How can there be any distinguished guests of the Zhang family that I don’t know about? Could they be a distinguished guest from the Zhang family’s business world?”
The Third Young Master of the Zhang family racked his brains, but he could not think of any other distinguished guests for the Zhang family who could make even Zhang Qiji’s father stand up to personally welcome.
“Hmph, they’re just pretending to be mysterious. All the distinguished guests of the Zhang family are already here. I don’t believe that Zhang Qiji and his father can invite any other important distinguished guest.”
The Third Young Master of the Zhang family sneered. He did not believe that Zhang Qiji and his father could have any other distinguished guest at all.
Even if there were another distinguished guest, could it possibly allow Zhang Qiji and his father to turn the situation around? That was completely impossible. As long as he had the Legate, no matter how Zhang Qiji and his father struggled, it would be useless.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Zhang Qiji personally led the way. Behind him was a man and a woman. They were both dressed in formal clothes and had extraordinary bearing.
As the lights in the hotel were a little dim and the environment was rather noisy, the Third Young Master of the Zhang family could not see the appearance of the “honored guest” for a moment, but he felt that he looked very familiar.
“Who is it?”
The Third Young Master of the Zhang family frowned.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, the Legate, who had been silent and indifferent beside the Third Young Master of the Zhang family, had a look of shock on his face. He stood up almost immediately and walked straight towards the “distinguished guest”.
“I am Legate Mo Li of Delta City, from Myriad Academy. Greetings, Sage Lin Feng!”
Legate Mo Li bowed respectfully to Lin Feng, his entire being filled with excitement.
“Sage Lin Feng?”
Hearing Legate Mo Li’s voice, the expression of the Third Young Master of the Zhang family suddenly froze. The red wine gla.s.s in his hand immediately slipped to the ground and shattered.
