He hadn\'t shown his spells in front of the people of the Tang family, so he wondered what their motive is in inviting him to the Ancient Artifact Identification Expo.
He felt relieved after thinking it over again. He surmised that they had probably wanted to have good relations with him as the strength he had revealed before had even scared Lin Zhenbei witless due to the fear.
However, he didn\'t have the least bit of good impression towards the Tang family due to the way Tang Zhenshan was treating him, his benefactor. He said coldly, "This Deity isn\'t interested."
"Please don\'t say that, Mr. Jiang!"
Tang Wenchong became anxious when Jiang Xiu refused the offer. He had already promised the Old Father and guaranteed that he\'ll definitely succeed in inviting Jiang Xiu.
"This Ancient Artifact Identification Expo has plenty of ancient swords and other articles of mysterious origins. My Tang family will sincerely offer every single thing Mister likes. Naturally, Mr. Jiang might not be interested in such small things. However, it\'ll be a great blessing for Mr. Jiang if Mister is able to unravel the mystery of the ancient artifact. It\'s possible that Mister might even obtain an inheritance from it."
Jiang Xiu sneered. He possessed countless immortal cultivation arts in his memory and each one of them was top-grade. Even if he did find an inheritance, it wasn\'t worth anything to him.
"This Deity isn\'t interested."
He refused with the same cold tone.
As Jiang Xiu was about to hang the call, Tang Wenchong anxiously said, "Don\'t, please don\'t Mr. Jiang… We\'ll absolutely not let you return with empty hands. If you agree to attend, how about a million as appearance fee?"
Jiang Xiu laughed out loudly, very ignorant and foolish.
It seemed that he wasn\'t aware of the fact that Deity Xiu had renounced 10 million at that time and even chopped off one of Tang Zhenshan\'s arm.
Hearing Jiang Xiu laughing loudly, which also seemed to contain anger, Tang Wenchong\'s legs turned into jelly from the fear. Using money towards an expert like Jiang Xiu was actually a big insult.
But who would have imagined that the scene would play out differently, "One million?"
"Yes!" Tang Wenchong spoke nervously, "One million, we can add more if Mr. Jiang wants us to. My Tang family truly wants to invite Mr. Jiang with sincerity."
Jiang Xiu burst out into loud laughter again, they actually want to use money to persuade this Deity!
"You\'ll add more?"
"Yes!" Tang Wenchong\'s palms were sweaty from the nervousness, "If only Mister is willing to attend, Mister can set the price."
Jiang Xiu raised his head to look at the wandering clouds in the sky, endless pride was hidden in the depths of his eyes. Naturally, it was a loneliness. You have a shortage of money and someone is begging you to take the money.
Sigh, I\'ll have to commit this sin!
"Although you\'re quite ignorant and foolish, it seems like… you\'re very sincere."
In the capacity of Tang Zhenshan\'s heir, Tang Wenchong naturally wasn\'t a stupid person. He almost cried from the excitement, "Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang!"
"I\'ll immediately leave for Second High to receive you."
After the episode with Lin Zhenbei before, Old Father Tang had told him that Jiang Xiu\'s cultivation of the martial Dao was above Chu Tiannan\'s and even Lin Zhenbei was frightened away. Just what kind of a malignant star was this? A\'Dong had solemnly vowed to him that Mr. Jiang absolutely wouldn\'t attend but he had unexpectedly completed this feat of inviting him. It wasn\'t possible for him to remain calm.
"Mhm!"
It was quite a pity that no one was left in the school by the time Tang Wenchong had arrived. Such a grand car had come to receive Jiang Xiu and there wasn\'t a single spectator, it was really disappointing.
"Mr. Jiang!"
Tang Wenchong came down from the Rolls-Royce. He wore a well-ironed and refined suit. He was a bit dazed when he looked at Jiang Xiu whose clothes were street goods worth less than 300 RMB. Is this young man really as terrible as Grandpa said? This isn\'t some sort of mistake, right?
"Please sit inside!"
Jiang Xiu\'s gaze swept past the car.
The Tang family was personally coordinating this Ancient Artifact Identification Expo but the funds were provided by Myriad Base\'s Qin Weiping. The location was a high-level clubhouse called Belden nearby to several of the Myriad Base\'s projects in the city.
While passing through the Renhe Rd., Jiang Xiu saw the traffic police blocking the path.
"What happened there?"
Tang Wenchong said, "Did Mister not know it? The Myriad Base Group had torn down a temple and incurred the wrath of a god. Bizarre events keep occurring and several accidents happened on the Renhe Rd. during nighttime. The government was also helpless towards this and had to seal the road."
"Incurred a god\'s wrath?"
Tang Wenchong said, "Yes. Several Shamans were invited to handle the problem but none of them were successful. Everyone guessed that it wasn\'t an evil spirit, rather the ancient temple\'s god was angered."
Jiang Xiu laughed faintly, declining to comment.
Tang Wenchong and Jiang Xiu got down the car after reaching Clubhouse Belden.
Streams of people were entering the clubhouse. Each and every one of them attended wearing splendid clothes; the men wore ironed suits, the women wore dazzling evening dresses and held an invitation card in their hands.
"Please, Mr. Jiang!"
There were several acquaintances of Tang Wenchong inside the clubhouse, so once they noticed Young Master Tang enter, they rushed to bootlick. As for Jiang Xiu who wore unpresentable clothes, he was beautifully ignored. He also didn\'t care about it.
"Take care of your business, this Deity shall roam around."
Deity Xiu wasn\'t involved this time, it was accurate to say he had come to acquire that one million. As for the rest, Jiang Xiu didn\'t care about it. At most, he\'d see whether there were any genuine artifacts. As the saying went, kill two birds with a single stone; he was also in need of heavenly treasures to accelerate his cultivation speed.
There were groups of three or four inside the clubhouse. Connections were quite important to people of the upper-class society. Attending this kind of party will allow a person to make new connections and that\'d bring immense benefits to their business or other matters.
It was naturally a good opportunity for the younger generation to emigrate to other places.
"Look over there, it\'s Zhao Zhixiang from the Bairunda Supermarket Chain."
"Tianrun Pharmaceutical Industry\'s Director Wu!"
"There are even foreigners. Isn\'t that the director of Benz?"
Ouyang Qian\'s eyes gleamed as she waved her hands excitedly, "Wow, there\'s so many tycoons here today… No wonder Young Master Chen said that the invitation was 100,000."
Li Dan was also excited, "We did the right thing by attending today."
"Is that Young Master Bai, Bai Feng?"
Hearing those words, Cheng Lingsu looked over there curiously. The man was wearing a fashionable white suit which made him look elegant and he was handsome to boot. This young master was actually the No. 1 talent among the younger generation of Jiang City\'s upper-class.
Big Lei dared to move against Ye Wenchen without any hesitation but he wouldn\'t even dare to speak a word in front of Young Master Bai.
"How about it? Do you want to get acquainted?"
Ye Wenchen nudged his glasses and carefully observed Cheng Lingsu, fearing that the goddess he admired was also moved by Bai Feng as that young master was too outstanding.
"Susu…"
A voice suddenly arrived from the back. Cheng Lingsu turned to look and discovered a beautiful woman wearing a black evening dress. Cheng Lingsu\'s face cramped up a bit, "Mom!"
"It\'s really you. Mother thought she was mistaken!"
The woman who had arrived was Cheng Lingsu\'s mother, Sun Xiaohong. Actually, there were evening classes today so Cheng Lingsu was skipping school. Her face naturally cramped up because her mother had caught her red-handed.
But Sun Xiaohong wasn\'t displeased at all, "How did you come in? It\'s quite difficult to gain entry to this place." Even she had relied on a friend\'s friend to obtain an invitation card.
After all, this was an Ancient Artifact Identification Expo, not a business party.
Cheng Lingsu ran towards her and linked arms, "A friend had an invitation card so I also came over to join the fun."
"Little Hong, so this is your youngest daughter."
Two middle-aged women, friends of Sun Xiaohong were beside her.
"Yes!" Sun Xiaohong looked at her daughter who\'s grown so brilliant with a gaze full of affection. "See how children nowadays are. There are still classes in the evening and they\'ve come here to participate in the party."
Cheng Lingsu naughtily stuck her tongue out. When Ye Wenchen and the others saw this cute side of hers, their eyes opened widely.
Sun Xiaohong pinched her nose, "You\'ve grown up. You have your connections and have come to participate in the party by yourself."
Her words seemed to criticize her but that tone was full of praise. Her two friends beside her felt envious. This invitation card is quite difficult to obtain. The 2nd Lady of the Cheng family is really something.
"Your daughter is really skilled."
"She\'s just fooling around."
Ye Wenchen held his chest high with pride as he was the one who obtained the invitation card, his ego swelled up.
"My child also wanted to come but unfortunately didn\'t have an invitation card…"
Sun Xiaohong felt proud when she saw her friend\'s eyes fill up with envy. Even Cheng Lingsu felt as if her face was burning up. The gaze with which she looked towards Ye Wenchen turned gentler.
But in the next moment, the smiles on Sun Xiaohong and Cheng Lingsu\'s face froze in place. At a distant place from them, there was a table with food set on it. A youngster wearing clothes which seemed like street goods was eating cakes there.
"Jiang Xiu? How come he\'s here too?"
