In the following half a month.
Zheng Jiuchang twice invited Lin Fan to visit the Zheng Family, but unfortunately, Lin Fan rejected both invitations.
Even Zheng Yuesheng personally went to the school to invite Lin Fan to a banquet at the Zheng Family’s home.
It caused quite a stir.
But without exception, all were rejected by Lin Fan.
Although the Zheng Family is influential, it is ultimately just an ordinary secular family.
They are simply not in the same world as Lin Fan.
The day of the Taishan consecration ceremony is drawing nearer and nearer.
Undercurrents began to surge in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, and more and more martial artists gathered at Taishan!
Meanwhile, ordinary people within the country were immersed in the joy of the National Day holidays.
On a tourist bus from Jiangnan City to Taishan.
There were over twenty people on this trip, all students from Jiangnan No. 1 Middle School.
Zhou Ling’er sat by the window, her little head resting on Lin Fan’s shoulder.
To make the trip to Taishan more fulfilling.
For the past few nights, Zhou Ling’er had been staying up late designing travel plans.
Hoping for a perfect holiday with Lin Fan.
Early autumn just set in, but the sun outside the car window was still scorching.
Lin Fan took the initiative to hold up Zhou Ling’er’s parasol, blocking the sun outside.
Making the girl on his shoulder sleep more comfortably.
"Qingyi, what are you looking at!" Gu Xiaoman’s somewhat loud voice suddenly rang out.
Zhou Qingyi quickly turned her head away, somewhat guilty.
Today, she had applied light makeup.
Compared to her usual bare-faced appearance, she looked even more stunning.
Unfortunately, the person she admired did not even glance at her, leaving Zhou Qingyi with a slight sense of loss deep inside.
"Humph! Still nothing, it’s been two hours since we set off, and you’ve looked at that guy over twenty times by now, yet he’s there caring for his sister Ling’er, seriously, give up already!" Gu Xiaoman said with a tinge of sourness.
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Qingyi’s pretty face flushed a bit.
With a meaningful laugh, Gu Xiaoman lowered her voice and said, "Anyone with eyes can see it, do you have feelings for Lin Fan? What are you thinking?"
"So many people chase you at school, and three or four of them have already been admitted early to universities like Yanjing and Huaqing University. Their futures are boundless, and once they go abroad, they’ll instantly become graduates from prestigious overseas universities!"
"If you don’t like academic prodigies, that’s fine, but there are several rich young masters from wealthy families in our province who are handsome and wealthy. They even drive Lamborghinis to pick you up at the school gate, yet you won’t even give them a proper look."
"What’s so good about Lin Fan?" Gu Xiaoman snorted.
"Although he’s good at fighting, what’s the use of being able to fight in this world? Even if he wins the world fighting championship, isn’t it still the same? How can he compare to billionaires worth tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions?"
Gu Xiaoman is ultimately not a person from the Martial Arts World.
She doesn’t understand that in this world, it is actually under the control of martial artists.
Regardless of how much those billions are worth.
When facing a Martial Arts Grandmaster, they would still need to bow their heads in submission.
Perhaps, only those top billionaires worth over a hundred billion could have an equal conversation with a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and even that would merely be an equal conversation, not daring to underestimate a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
"I... I don’t know... I just feel he’s very special..."
Zhou Qingyi shook her head, a trace of confusion flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Oh dear, stop worrying over this guy. When we get to Taishan and meet my boyfriend, I’ll have him introduce some people to you. You like strong fighters, right? He knows several domestic and international fighting champions, way more promising than that Lin Fan!" Seeing Zhou Qingyi a bit upset, Gu Xiaoman quickly changed the subject.
The bus entered the Taishan area and stopped in a parking lot outside the tourist area.
Gu Xiaoman’s boyfriend was already waiting there.
The appearance of four or five Lamborghinis instantly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
A young man slowly walked over.
Dressed in top-notch outfits, adorning a Rolex watch on his wrist.
Clearly not a child from an ordinary family.
"Let me introduce everyone, this is my boyfriend Xu Junda!"
Gu Xiaoman bounced forward, linking arms with her boyfriend.
Xu Junda smiled and greeted everyone.
were four or five young people.
They were all dressed in designer clothes, wearing luxury watches, and driving luxury cars.
Obviously, they were all rich young men from the same social circle.
In contrast, these students from Jiangnan Middle School looked much more modest.
"Junda, shall we introduce everyone to each other?" Gu Xiaoman suggested with a smile.
Xu Junda smiled and nodded, then introduced to everyone, "This is Wu Rong, this is Zhou Tianyang, this is Shen Haosheng, and as for this person..."
When introducing the last person, Xu Junda intentionally paused.
Then he slowly said, "Tang Yixuan, the young master of Tang Family from Tianhai City!"
"Which Tang Family? Could it be one of the top ten families in Tianhai City, the Tang Real Estate Group?" a student asked, puzzled.
"That Tang Family is powerful! It’s said that Tang Family’s patriarch Tang Tianlong started from scratch, built a hundreds of billions asset group, becoming a legend in the real estate industry. He has been a guest several times on financial program segments, sharing his thoughts from the early stages of entrepreneurship!"
"Could it really be that Tang Family?"
The crowd was stunned, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Tang Tianlong is my grandfather!"
Tang Yixuan smiled faintly.
All the students present couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment!
The Tang Family of Tianhai City was very famous in the real estate industry.
Even some high school students from Jiangnan province had heard of the name Tang Tianlong.
It shows how huge his reputation and influence were.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone’s faces.
Having a boyfriend with such influential friends, Gu Xiaoman was quite pleased with herself and introduced with a smile:
"This is Zhou Qingyi!"
Among the crowd, Zhou Qingyi was the most stunning.
Whether it was her aloof temperament or her appearance, which scored more than nine out of ten.
She was in no way inferior to those female celebrities, perhaps even surpassing them.
Xu Junda’s friends had noticed her earlier on.
"Harvesting water caltrops at evening mooring, presenting them to Qingyi. What a beautiful name!" Tang Yixuan praised with a smile.
Zhou Qingyi smiled faintly, giving Tang Yixuan an extra glance!
"This is Zhou Ling’er, our class’s little goddess, with excellent grades and a high artistic talent, well-versed in singing, painting, and even drama performances, piano, violin—you name it, but don’t even think about it! She already has a boyfriend!" Gu Xiaoman said cheerfully.
Zhou Ling’er covered her face shyly, stamping her feet.
Wu Rong, Zhou Tianyang, and Shen Haosheng glanced at each other with flickering eyes.
Their minds were somewhat active.
When it came to introducing Lin Fan, Gu Xiaoman prepared to play coy.
She cast a mysterious glance at everyone, then slowly introduced:
"As for him! Don’t be surprised when I say it—he is a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"
"A Martial Arts Grandmaster!"
Tang Yixuan, Wu Junda, Wu Rong, Zhou Tianyang, and Shen Haosheng couldn’t help but shudder, their eyes filled with shocked expressions as they looked up at Lin Fan!
The entire scene fell into dead silence!
