Chapter 248 - Tang Yuanqins Visit (2/2)

“Very well.”

Chen Fan had some other matters on his mind that he wanted to consult Tang Yuanqin on so he accepted the invitation.

Tang Yuanqin led Chen Fan to a Mercedes-Benz S-350 parked next to the school’s entrance. When Chen Fan got into the car, Zhou Qinya happened to walk by and saw him. Zhou Qinya didn’t think of anything at first since it was not the first time she saw a rich heir getting into a fancy car. However, she was shocked when she caught a glimpse of the driver.

“That was Seventh Lord Huang?”

“Seventh Lord Huang was a powerful tyc.o.o.n in Jin City whose influence was on par with Chen Xiao if not more. Her father used to take her to visit Seventh Lord Huang, so she had recognized his face.”

She knew that Seventh Lord Huang was more powerful than most of the elite cla.s.s in the city, yet, he had lowered himself to chauffer for Chen Fan and that old man. Who was that old man anyways and how powerful exactly was Chen Fan? Suddenly, Zhou Qinya started to feel that she had been underestimating Chen Fan’s power. Perhaps, he was not just an ordinary rich heir, and there was more to him than what meets the eye.

It wasn’t long before Chen Fan and his host arrived at the Tang family’s estate.

Tang Yifei led a group of tyc.o.o.ns in the Jin City and had already stood by the entrance waiting for him. These tyc.o.o.ns were all formidable powers in their own region, however, there and then, they stood fearfully waiting for his arrival patiently and respectfully. Chen Fan caught a glimpse of Chen Xiao among the crowd and his face was written with shock and terror. He had never thought that Tang Yuanqin was able to persuade Chen Fan to come to the banquet and neither did he expect Tang Yuanqin to be so respectful toward the boy.

“Yifei, I want to introduce you to Master Chen.”

Tang Yuanqin said humbly.

“Master Chen!”

Complicated emotions roiled in Tang Yifei’s eyes. Ever since the incident in the garden, she swore to never see Chen Fan again, fearing that Chen Fan would take advantage of her situation. She couldn’t believe that her father had invited the wolf to the house willingly.

“This is Seventh Huang.”

“This is Eight Fingers.”

“This is…”

Tang Yuanqin didn’t notice his daughter’s awkward and reluctant expression and went on to introduce others to Chen Fan. He made sure that all of his subordinates had seen Chen Fan in person so that they knew who to stay away from. When he introduced Chen Xiao, a strong and complicated emotion rose in Chen Xiao. He remembered his warning to Chen Fan, however, it seemed that he had shot himself in the foot. By now, Chen Fan had become the most influential person in Jinlin City and was respected by even Tang Yuanqin.

“From today on, you should all treat Master Chen like how you treat me. If anyone of you dares to mess with Master Chen, I will make sure you pay for your mistake.” Tang Yuanqin announced heavily.

“Yes, Lord Tang”

Seventh Lord Huang and the others cupped their fists and replied.

Chen Fan had got rid of the Sheng family and made a name for himself in Jinlin City. The rumor of Chen Fan using spells to kill the Sheng family was still floating around and therefore, no one in their right mind would think of messing with Chen Fan. However, many people looked back and forth between Tang Yifei and Chen Fan.

Although Tang Yifei tried to contain the spread of rumor, many people had learned of what happened at the Green Vines club. However, no one would risk the ire of Tang Yifei and snitch on her and tell Tang Yuanqin what they knew.

“Master Chen, you are a martial artist, you should sit at the head of the table. ”

When Tang Yuanqin invited Chen Fan to the head of the table, everyone felt the situation was even stranger than they thought.

Tang Yuanqin didn’t seem to act out of fear for the same fate as Sheng family, but out of respect and reverence, as he would to a wizened wise man. However, Chen Fan was less than twenty years old, how could he manage to garner so much respect?

“Dad?”

Tang Yifei gasped.

However fearful she was to Chen Fan, the sight of her father bending backward for a young man didn’t sit well with her. She felt so bad for her father that she was on the brink of crying.

“My daughter is not aware of who you really are, please forgive her.” Tang Yuanqin said awkwardly.

It was only natural for an internal force user to respect a Grandmaster. At Chen Fan’s level of attainment, his age was irrelevant, it was his unimaginable power that gave him the high status.

“No harm is done.” Chen Fan said lightly. He was the North Mystic Celestial Lord, so he wouldn’t care what an insect thought of him. Plus, Tang Yifei’s life was still in his hands. He then asked with a serious face: “I meant to ask you something. Do you know who is the person I killed? I heard his name is Lin Tatian.”

Lin Tatian’s power was just below that of Lei Qianjue. If he wasn’t injured, he would have already become a peak level Grandmaster. He was one in a million kind of warrior, a frightening force to be reckoned with.

However, Lin Tatian had hidden under the umbrella of the Sheng family, disguised as a normal personal guard. Chen Fan smelled something fishy. It was as if he was trying to hide from something. What could have made someone so powerful so afraid?

Although Lin Tatian was already dead, Chen Fan was not sure if he had to prepare for acts of revenge from his family and friends. It would be ideal if he could act first and get rid of any potential danger in the first place.

“You mean that Grandmaster who wielded a Blade Qi?” Tang Yuanqin furrowed his brows and asked: “Lin Tatian… Lin Tatian? Humm… strange… I have never heard of any Grandmaster with that name. However, judging by his moves, he is a mighty warrior indeed.”

“He said he was from the Lin family of Southeastern China. The Art of Qi Blade was his family’s secret art.”

“Lin family of Southeastern China? The Art of Qi Blade?” Tang Yuanqin was taken aback. However as old memories came back to him, he exclaimed with surprise: “Could he be the traitor of the Lin family?”

As soon as he said that, fear surfaced in Tang Yuanqin’s eyes and even his gaze on Chen Fan seemed to change its tone.
