94: Chapter 093: Undercurrents_1 94: Chapter 093: Undercurrents_1 Lv Zhong left, and the Leng family’s banquet cooled suddenly.
Everyone was stunned by Lv Zhong’s unparalleled talent, but the admiration of nurous high-ranking officials and tycoons was not the main event.
The key point was that Ao Yuling, Dongfang Baoyu, and the ancient martial artists who were secretly protecting the main figures of the Leng family, were all shocked.
These ancient martial artists truly understood the value of Lv Zhong’s paintings and calligraphy.
For them, Lv Zhong’s works were not sothing that could be asured by money.
Having such a tiless piece could help an ancient martial family prosper.
As Lv Zhong left, strange lights shone in Dongfang Baoyu’s eyes, and Ao Yuling’s expression was almost the sa.
However, both of them had deep connections with the Leng family, and there are still many activities to attend, so they couldn’t be absent.
After singing the birthday song for Leng i and cutting the cake, the Leng family also set up more than a hundred dinner tables.
Midway through the banquet, Zhou Kaiyuan walked towards the main table.
“Commander Leng, Mrs.
Zheng, Miss Leng i, I have so matters to deal with, I’ll take my leave now.” Zhou Kaiyuan bowed slightly to Leng Feng, and Zheng Hongi’s family.
Without waiting for Leng Feng’s response, he led a soulless-looking Zhou Xiongfeng out of the Leng family mansion.
Today was a terrible day for Zhou Kaiyuan.
Although he had tricked Lv Zhong once, wasn’t he playing the fool at the little princess of the Leng family’s banquet?
What’s more, many officials and tycoons witnessed this scene.
Even worse, in the end, Lv Zhong perfectly created another painting of equal quality.
It was as if he had been slapped several tis in a row.
For a mont, Zhou Kaiyuan’s hatred for Lv Zhong reached its peak.
Upon leaving the Leng family mansion, Zhou Kaiyuan and Zhou Xiongfeng were unaware that several mysterious bugs quietly followed them.
Upon reaching their car, the driver, Xiao Li, respectfully opened the car door for Zhou Kaiyuan and his son.
After Zhong Kaiyuan and Zhou Xiongfeng got in the car, the bugs that were hiding in the darkness also entered the car unnoticed.
“Chairman, should I take you ho?” Xiao Li could tell that Zhou Kaiyuan and his son’s faces were not looking good, so he asked respectfully and in a low voice.
“Hmm!” Zhou Kaiyuan leaned back in the seat, his face dark.
Seeing that Zhou Kaiyuan seed upset, driver Xiao Li beca even more respectful.
After saluting Zhou Kaiyuan, he respectfully closed the car door for Zhou Kaiyuan and his son.
He then ran back to the driver’s seat, started the car and drove into the darkness.
“Uncle Leng, Aunt Hongi, Sister Leng i, I have so matters unexpectedly today, I’ll take my leave first.” Seeing Zhou Kaiyuan leave, Ao Yuling saluted Leng Feng, Zheng Hongi, and Leng i, swaying her two black pigtails, she left lightly.
With Zhou Kaiyuan and Ao Yuling having taken their leave, nurous officials and tycoons also bid farewell to Leng Feng.
************
After the banquet, Leng Feng, Zheng Hongi, Zheng Tianle, Wen Qiuhui (Zheng Tianle’s wife), Zheng Shuyu (Zheng Tianle’s oldest daughter), Zheng Qiuli, Dongfang Linglong, Dongfang Baoyu, and Leng i were sitting together in the living room of the Leng family villa.
The group had initially gathered to celebrate Leng i’s birthday, but now, everyone was curiously looking at Zheng Tianle.
It seed that he knew Lv Zhong, and their relationship should be quite good.
“Grandpa, it seems you know that kid Lv Zhong?
That’s great, could you ask him to paint a basket full of paintings for ?
Just as long as they are on par with the two from today…” Dongfang Baoyu was sitting next to Zheng Tianle.
He looked at Zheng Tianle excitedly, almost frenzied in his eyes.
He was well aware of the value of Lv Zhong’s paintings and calligraphy.
“Thump—” Hearing Dongfang Baoyu’s request, Zheng Tianle slapped Dongfang Baoyu’s head.
He huffed angrily, “Don’t call him ‘that kid this kid’, you are too rude.
Little Zhong should be considered your elder generation…”
“What?”
Dongfang Baoyu let out a sharp cry, shaking his head, “How is this possible?”
Leng Feng, sitting next to them, was curious too.
He asked doubtfully, “Father-in-law, what is this all about?”
If Dongfang Baoyu is considered Lv Zhong’s younger generation, wouldn’t Lv Zhong be of the sa generation as him, the number one man in the city?
Hearing Leng Feng’s questioning, Zheng Tianle glared at Zheng Shuyu and Zheng Hongi with a stern face and said furiously, “Little Zhong is indeed Lv Haoran’s direct grandson.
Shuyu, Hongi, Qiuli, and I have all been saved by Lv Shibai once.
By the way, little Situ Weiqi was also saved by Little Zhong yesterday, which ans that our old Zheng family now owes Lv Shibai’s family five lives.”
“What?
Lv Zhong’s family has saved Grandpa, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Little Weiwei, and my mom?
Oh my God, we owe Lv family so much?
The one who saved from the throat-cutting man last ti was also Lv Zhong…”
This ti it was not Dongfang Baoyu who exclaid in surprise, but her sister Dongfang Linglong.
She had no idea that Lv Zhong’s family had such a large debt of gratitude to her grandfather’s family.
Dongfang Linglong knew that she had also been saved by Lv Zhong, otherwise, she would have been humiliated by the throat-cutting man and lost her life.
“Ah…”
As the information released by Dongfang Linglong, everyone present was struck with astonishnt once again.
They all sighed internally at the uncanny workings of fate in this world.
Zheng Tianle sighed gloomily, saying bitterly, “It seems that the favor we owe the Lv family will probably never be repaid in our lifetis.”
Wen Qiuhui, Zheng Shuyu, Zheng Hongi, and Zheng Qiuli all remained silent.
For a mont, the entire atmosphere cooled down.
“Who exactly is Lv Shibai?
What kind of family is the Lv family that they could save so many of us?” Dongfang Baoyu asked Zheng Tianle curiously.
Leng i, who was usually cool and indifferent, also showed a touch of curiosity in her eyes, her clear gaze quietly falling on Zheng Tianle.
Dongfang Linglong was likewise curious.
Zheng Tianle’s face was desolate, and he said nothing.
“The Lv family is a noble family of divine doctors that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Back then…” Wen Qiuhui sighed, deeply looking at the large group of people before her, recounting in detail the old grudges and grievances between the Zheng family and the Lv family.
The younger generation present had never imagined that there was such a complex history between the Zheng, Dongfang, Leng, and Lv Families, and were stunned on the spot.
“So it turns out that Lv Zhong could have almost beco my older brother?” Dongfang Baoyu mumbled thoughtfully.
Leng i and Dongfang Linglong were both secretly surprised.
They hadn’t expected that their own mothers could have potentially married Lv Zhong’s father back then.
Knowing all this, a strange feeling rose in the hearts of Leng i and Dongfang Linglong.
As for Zheng Shuyu and Zheng Hongi, they found the situation extrely awkward.
Of course, a hint of guilt also erged on their faces.
To be honest, Lv Tianlin had never wronged them.
On the contrary, the sisters had hurt Lv Tianlin twice in a row.
However, this love and the Lv family’s life-saving grace cannot be equated.
Even now, Zheng Hongi did not regret her choice back then.
However, Zheng Shuyu was different.
She had personally agreed to the marriage proposal back then and also loved Lv Tianlin.
Yet, later during her studies in Tianjing, due to an accident, she ended up together with the current head of the Dongfang Family.
She was the one who had hurt Lv Tianlin the most.
Earlier, Zheng Shuyu had thought that Lv Zhong looked familiar, noting that he resembled Lv Tianlin sowhat.
However, she didn’t expect that she would learn from her father that Lv Zhong was indeed Lv Tianlin’s son.
For a ti, she was burdened with many concerns.
“So this brat is Lv Tianlin’s son.
Hmm, he looks average, just a bit immature…” Leng Feng sourly comnted.
He also knew about the old affairs of the Zheng family.
Although he had ultimately won over Lv Tianlin and married Zheng Hongi, he felt sowhat perturbed.
After all, Lv Zhong was the son of his love rival.
More importantly, he found that Lv Tianlin’s son was remarkably outstanding, which made him sowhat jealous.
Although Leng i was also outstanding, in Leng Feng’s heart, Leng i was ultimately a daughter.
On this issue, Leng Feng felt that he had been outdone by his love rival from those years.
That was why he made such a sour comnt.
Seeing Leng Feng’s behavior, Zheng Tianle beca annoyed and said, “What do you an ‘brat’?
What do you an ‘immature’?
Hmph, Little Zhong is much better than you.
He has inherited the Lv Family’s dical skills and also has master-level abilities in painting and calligraphy.
Linglong ntioned that he seems to also have so skills in breeding insects.
Can you compare to him?”
“Uh…” Being harshly criticized by his father-in-law, Leng Feng was instantly stunned into silence.
This made younger generations like Dongfang Linglong, Leng i, and Dongfang Baoyu giggle, while Zheng Hongi and Zheng Qiuli couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Only Zheng Shuyu, the eldest, remained in a daze, unable to laugh.
“Alright, stop laughing.
The reason I told you today about the connection between the Lv family and our old Zheng family was to ask you all to protect Little Zhong from the shadows.
After all, Zhou Kaiyuan is very cunning, so don’t let that wolf harm Little Zhong.” Zheng Tianle’s gaze swept over Leng Feng, Zheng Shuyu, and Zheng Hongi while he spoke indifferently.
“Dad, don’t worry.
I promise that I won’t let that vile…I won’t let anything happen to Lv Zhong.” Leng Feng was the first to pledge.
Zheng Shuyu and Zheng Hongi nodded their heads as well.
Both were powerful in their own right.
“I will announce the end of my business cooperation with Zhou Kaiyuan tomorrow!” Zheng Hongi’s face also turned cold.
Zheng Shuyu shook off her daze, “I will do the sa…”
…
On the other hand,
Zhao Family!
Zhao Yuancan, Xiao Yujie, Zhao Yuanyi, and Zhao Ziyu were also gathered together, discussing how to counter Zhou Kaiyuan’s potential retaliation against Lv Zhong.
Although they knew that Lv Zhong had many mysterious abilities, they were prepared to protect him from the shadows, out of gratitude to Lv Zhong for his help.
The force behind Ao Yuling and the force of Xuan Shui Sword Pavilion, where Xiaoyufeì belonged, were also stealthily perating Yan City.
For a ti, the undercurrents in Yan City surged.
