“What are you doing here?” Miao Xiaoqian asked with surprise.

“I am here to attend the conference.” Chen Fan cracked a smile.

“Conference? You must have happened to stumble upon the poster, didn’t you?” Lu Yanxue rolled her eyes. However, she turned to the two men at the entrance and said: “Please, he is my friend, can you let him in?”

“I am sorry, Miss. This is a private gathering.” The man in traditional Chinese suit said somberly.

“My father is Lu s.h.i.+xun, I am a member of the Lu family.” Lu s.h.i.+xun plastered on a sweet smile.

“Lu s.h.i.+xun?” The two men paused a second. One of them muttered to the other: “He is from the Third Great Lord.” The other nodded and said: “Well, of course, you can go in. But not him.”

“Why?” Miao Xiaoqian kitted her brows.

However, she had exhausted all her ruses, and so she was not sure what else to do to help Chen Fan.

The two men in front of her were both phenomenal success in their Internal Force cultivation. That would put their status even higher than her father. Her direct family was just an off shot of the main Lu family branch. If not because she was friends with a few young cousins from the main branch, she might as well be standing with Chen Fan at the other side of the threshold.

Then, a red luxury sports car pulled over. A handsome, strapping young man emerged from within. His body was in exceptionally good shape, and his features on his face were sublime.

He walked over to the threshold with a warm smile and then said: “Xiao Xue, why aren’t you heading in?”

“I met a friend.” Lu Yanxue lowered her head as she blushed.

The man was so handsome that his appearance could have outs.h.i.+ned lead members of pop idol bands. Miao Xiaoqian’s eyes instantly melted into fangirl hearts as soon as she saw him.

“Let’s go say hi to Great-Great Grandpa, and then we will chat with your friend.” The young man announced. He nodded at Chen Fan before he walked into the venue.

The other two men in traditional Chinese suits bowed respectfully as he pa.s.sed. “Young Lord!”

Lu Yanxue looked at Chen Fan and nodded, signaling to him her departure. Her eyes were filled with embarra.s.sment. She pulled one hand close to her face and made a sign that read: “Call me,” before she disappeared into the manor. After the two were gone, Second Lord Xin tutted:

“The Young Lord of the Lu family, Lu Haixuan. Ha! So Das.h.i.+ng and so much power! Rumor has it that he was a martial arts genius that had achieved phenomenal success before he was thirty. He was often compared with Gao Baisheng and Gu Xiao from the Gu family.”

“I have heard that the Lu family also sired an extraordinarily beautiful girl called Lu Yanwu. She was no martial artist, but she was a strident businesswoman. She was in charge of the Lu’s Group. Both she and that young man were the most outstanding members of the Lu family’s younger generation.”

“It’s the 21st century now, they still call him Young Lord?” Chen Fan lamented. He spoke to the doormen again: “Can I go in now?”

“If you really want to get in, you can try to prove yourself by moving that tripod cauldron over there.” One of the doormen said.

The tripod cauldron he was talking about was set a few meters away from them. It was made out of bronze and was about one meter in height. An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to shake it, much less moving it.

Chen Fan waved a hand at Tong Shan. The latter slapped hard on the side of the cauldron.

“Bang!”

The impact sent a blaring noise. The cauldron was knocked back a few inches from where its original location was.

“Bravo!”

The two doormen were shocked. Second Lord Xin squinted and studied Tong Shan intensely. His suspicions had been confirmed: Tong Shan was indeed a powerful fighter, he was not far from the peak of the Internal Force cultivation.

“Welcome, sir. However, before you enter, please sign the guest book.”

“Chu Zhou City, Chen Beixuan.” Chen Fan said lightly. “This is my servant, Tong Shan.”

Chen Fan’s answer instilled more respect into the two doormen. They wagered that Chen Fan ought to be a mighty figure to be able to have such a powerful servant. However, they racked their brains to find any renowned martial artist in Chu Zhou City but failed.

Chen Fan and Second Lord Xin finally stepped into the Manor.

The Manor was huge inside, and it spoke loudly of the Lu family’s incredible power and influence. The hostess welcomed them as soon as they stepped inside.

Second Lord Xin continued to fill Chen Fan in as they walked on.

“The Martial Arts Conference will last half a month. The first ten days were for all partic.i.p.ants to exchange ideas, Dharma Artifacts, or simply to party. The last five days were all business.”

“You said Dharma Artifacts?” Chen Fan asked.

“Why, of course! Dharma Artifacts are widely used by martial artists. That being said, elixirs are probably more common than artifacts.” Second Lord Xin said. Ever since Tong Shan’s display of power, his voice has been laced with respect.

It was evident that he was completely enthralled by Tong Shan’s power.

The hostess led the three to their accommodations. The living conditions here could rival that of a five-star hotel. However, Second Lord Xin told Chen Fan that the real top dogs were a.s.signed their own mansions by the lakeside—a much better upgrade than these apartments.

Once Chen Fan had settled in, he was finally ready to meet the powerful martial artists on earth.

He made his way to the lobby and found it was packed with martial artists from all over China. They wore all different kinds of clothing, from Traditional Chinese suits to Avant Garde and anything in between. It was an eye-opener for Chen Fan in terms of styles.

“Even martial artists need to keep up with the times. Listen to their conversation, you would find that barely anyone talks about martial arts, all they care is money, money, money!” Second Lord Xin lamented.
