Chapter 470: He Is Here!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The hundred-year-old man had presided over Zhong Hai for more than a decade, and never once did Cheng Danqin see him being so shocked.

“He is here as well. I think the Lin Family played a wrong hand this time.”

Before Hua Yunfeng’s words faded, he unfurrowed his brows and let out a peal of laughter.

“Teacher, who is that?”

Cheng Danqin looked over the edge of the balcony and saw only the back of three visitors as they stepped through the gate. There was one man and two girls; all were young. The girl had a sword strapped on her back as if she was a swordmaster from Wu Xia novels.

“They are… trouble. Big Trouble!” Hua Yunfeng smirked. “One of them is the guy you always wanted to meet.”

“You mean… HE is here?”

Cheng Danqin’s face paled as a pang of shock and disbelief overtook her.

The thought of the man being only a few dozen meters away made her feel suffocated regardless of how many times she had talked about him in the past because the person on her mind was the Living Legend.

“Xiao Fan, why would Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa carry a sword to a banquet?”

The trio was Chen Fan, An Ya, and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa. An Ya asked Chen Fan curiously as she handed over the invitation.

“I am my master’s servant; the weapon is to protect the master.”

Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa answered stoically and matter-of-fact-ly.

Both An Ya and Chen Fan were not sure what to make of the j.a.panese girl’s seriousness.

Chen Fan was a living legend, the only member of the Divine Roll, why would he require a girl’s protection? However, Chen Fan knew that carrying the sword all the time was not an entirely useless idea either since the Sword Art of Azure Flower required a strong bond between the blade and the user. What would be the best way of forging such a bond than keeping the blade close to twenty-four seven?

Under the door men’s suspicious gaze, the three of them entered the banquet.

The Hua Family mansion consists of three smaller courtyards that surrounded the main one where the great hall was located. Servants bustled about, providing delicacies such as lobster and vintage wine to the guests.

Most important guests had congregated inside the great hall while the less important ones spread throughout the entire mansion.

Most of those outside of the great hall were families and friends of the ones inside. They were rich heirs, often spoiled and care-free gadabouts, who care little to none about politics.

“Uh? Isn’t that An Ya from the Jin Xiu Group?”

“Who is that guy beside her? They looked pretty close.”

Many rich heirs of Zhong Hai murmured to each other in surprise.

An Ya’s beauty was well known among the elite circle in Zhong Hai. Those who were brave enough to make a move on her all end up getting their hearts broken.

“That dude looks like the heir of the Jin Xiu Group. He is from Jiang Nan Province. Can’t remember his name though. Something Chen, I believe.”

Young Lord Feng had also attended the banquet. His face darkened as soon as he caught a glimpse of Chen Fan and An Ya.

Although Young Lord Feng’s father was also a wealthy tyc.o.o.n in Zhong Hai, his family prowess simply couldn’t compare with that of the Ji Family or the Tang Family. Therefore, Young Lord Feng was not influential enough to enter the main hall and had to stay outside in the courtyard.

“He is just a country hillbilly from Jiang Nan Province, how dare he call himself the Young Master? I just can’t stand his smug face.”

“Just so! If the real Young Master from the Lin Family heard that he had been using the same name, he might as well be dead.”

Many rich heirs jeered at Chen Fa from a distance.

Their eyes turned green with envy after seeing the two drop-dead gorgeous that flanked Chen Fan on both sides. However, they feared the might of the Jin Xiu Group, so they kept their voices low and didn’t provoke Chen Fan.

Young Lord Feng suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and slinked through the crowd toward the main hall.

Chen Fan thought it was just a normal banquet, so he didn’t even bother entering the main hall, and started to help himself at the BBQ stand.

“Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa?”

Even as Chen Fan and the girls enjoyed the tender Kobe Beef, a woman shouted out Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s name in surprise.

They looked around and saw a gleeful Ai Jinqi looking back at them.

She badly needed a breath of fresh air after staying in the main hall for too long. Both the mood and the air in the main fall was stifling thanks to the Lin Family heavy-handed approach. To her surprise, she ran into some of her old acquaintances.

“But…” Ai Jinqi glared at Chen Fan in confusion. “Aren’t you in Chen Beixuan’s service? Who is this gentleman?”

Chen Fan had changed his appearance back to normal, so Ai Jinqi didn’t recognize him.

“Oh. You are Xiao Qi, aren’t you? Long time no see.”

Chen Fan greeted the girl readily.

Fate had brought the girl to him five times while he was in j.a.pan, so it was difficult for Chen Fan to forget about her.

“Are you Chen Beixuan?”

Ai Jinqi had recognized Chen Fan’s voice right away. She rounded her eyes and gaped at Chen Fan in disbelief. However, it quickly occurred to her that anything was possible with Chen Fan since he could defeat an entire army all by himself.

If he could do that, then changing appearance must be a piece of cake for him.

“What are you doing in Zhong Hai? It has been so long! I thought I would never meet you guys again. I have tried to look for the other woman called Red Sparrow, but got nothing…” Ai Jinqi’s bubbly personality hadn’t changed a little. “Ah, right! Do you know that the Lin Family’s Young Master is trying to create the first-ever Commerce Guild of Zhong Hai?”

“Young Master of Lin Family? The Commerce Guild of Zhong Hai?”

Chen Fan and the two girls were suddenly at a loss.

Ai Jinqi hurried to explain: “I was just wondering what had lent the Ji Family so much audacity. It turned out that they have gained the Lin family of Southeastern China’s support. Did they really expect Lin Family’s Immortal State warrior who had been missing-in-action so far to save them from their doom?”

Lin Shuming had risen to power a hundred years ago, and by now, he must be around a hundred fifty years old. Even if he was still alive, he was no longer the mighty Immortal State warrior that he used to be.
