Zhang Ling's aura suddenly shrank and dissipated. He raised his eyes to look at Ye Chen, his eyes slightly complicated.
"No wonder my junior brother Wuchen died at your hands!"
Ye Chen's defense also dissipated. He shook his head lightly and his expression returned to indifference.
"He took action for the Jiang family. I already told him to retreat, but unfortunately, he didn't listen to my advice!"
"I have a strange fondness for Wudang, and I really don't want to kill him!"
Ye Chen has conquered many powerful enemies in the world without showing any signs of cowardice or weakness, but now he is facing Zhang Zhiling, whom he regards as his benefactor, and it is inevitable that he feels a little bit sad.
"That's not important. What's important is that he died at your hands!"
Zhang Ling's eyes flashed with murderous intent and his tone was fierce.
Ye Chen smiled freely and drank the last sip of wine in the wine jar.
"After drinking this wine, you can take action to avenge your junior brother!"
Zhang Ling stared at Ye Chen, and the atmosphere seemed to condense at this moment. After a while, the killing intent in his eyes subsided and he raised the wine jar.
"Today, we don't care about grudges, we only care about romance, and I won't fight against you!"
He drank all the wine in the wine jar, and then with a touch of his hand, the wine jar flew out horizontally and smashed into pieces on the side beam.
"Let the wine drain away. From now on, you and I are enemies!"
He grabbed the dust and walked leisurely towards the stairs. Only Senhan's voice came.
"I am the leader of Wudang, Zhang Ling, my name is Feng Ling!"
"Next time, I will kill you!"
The voice fell, and the tall figure disappeared into the tavern.
"Brother Chen!"
Just as Zhang Ling left, Hua Nongying hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen's arm, her eyes flashing slightly with a bit of worry.
Ye Chen picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
"I thought that when I met my benefactor again, I could have a nice drink and express my gratitude to him, but I never thought that my benefactor could turn into an enemy at any time!"
Hua Nongying pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.
"Brother Chen, I once heard my grandfather mention that Zhang Ling, the leader of Wudang, is ranked two places higher than you in the world's combat power rankings, ranking third!"
"Decades ago, he had already entered the transcendent realm. He is a talented warrior who only appeared in Wudang for hundreds of years. Among all the previous Wudang masters, his prestige may be second only to Sanfeng Zhenren!"
"If he fights you, you must be careful!"
Hua Nongying had seen how powerful Ye Chen was, and she asked herself, even if Ye Chen couldn't defeat Zhang Zhiling, he wouldn't lose too completely. What he was worried about was that Ye Chen would miss Zhang Zhiling's "kindness" to him.
He left room for action, but was ultimately defeated by Zhang Ling.
As if he understood what Hua Nongying was thinking, Ye Chen smiled and gently stroked her hair.
"Don't worry, Xiaoying, in this world, if anyone wants to kill me, I will never hold back, even if it's someone who has been kind to me!"
"Besides, with my cultivation reaching this level, if I hold back on him, he will never be satisfied!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and stretched, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Seven generals, three frontier officials, and one head of Wudang, the Jiang family is quite capable!"
He clasped his fingers together and raised the corners of his mouth in a contemptuous arc.
"Xiaoying, this time, I will let you see what it means to crush everything!"
Hua Nongying looked at Ye Chen's high-spirited and confident appearance and temporarily suppressed the worries in her heart.
She took one look at the messy tavern, took out a bank card with a deposit of 100,000, and handed it to the boss.
After everything was done, the two left each other, leaving everyone in the tavern in a daze.
The two of them had just gone downstairs when Hua Nongying's phone suddenly rang. She answered the call and listened to a few words, then her expression changed slightly.
"Brother Chen, the Jiang family has made some moves!"
She hung up the phone and said to Ye Chen: "I just received news that the Jiang family held a banquet in the Zhonghua Pavilion in the east of the city, entertaining many wealthy families in the capital!"
"At that time, all the celebrities in the capital will gather, including big figures from business, government, and military circles!"
"I think they are going to attack you at this banquet!"
The Jiang family has great influence. Every banquet hosted by the Jiang family is always full of guests, rich and powerful, including bigwigs from all over the world.
By choosing to attack Ye Chen at such a banquet, the Jiang family obviously planned to completely convince Ye Chen in front of many top celebrities. Not only would they be able to seek justice for the two brothers Jiang Yunqian, but they would also shake up the Jiang family.
The prestige makes its position in the capital more solid and unshakable.
"It doesn't matter what kind of banquet it is, if the Jiang family dares to touch it, I will accompany them to the end!"
Ye Chen was noncommittal and just responded casually.
Suddenly, the crowd in front of them dispersed, and a group of people came in a row, led by a man wearing a military uniform. It was Jiang Yumin who had met Ye Chen once before.
Everyone around him looked at this third-grade general in shock, not knowing what was going on.
Jiang Yumin walked to Ye Chen and took out a red invitation from his arms.
"Ye Lingtian, my Jiang family is hosting a banquet today in Zhonghua Pavilion for all the celebrities in the capital. I am here on my father's orders to invite you to the table!"
"All grievances between you and the Jiang family will be settled tonight!"
Ye Chen looked indifferent and took the invitation casually.
"The Jiang family is hosting a large banquet. It seems that your Jiang family is very confident in themselves!"
He passed by Jiang Yumin with flowers and shadows, a smile on his lips.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there tonight. If you have any means, just use it!"
Looking at Ye Chen's retreating back, Jiang Yumin's eyes changed slightly, and his face became cold.
"Ye Lingtian, at tonight's banquet, I will let you know what my Jiang family is capable of!"
Although it was noon at this moment, secretly, things were already turbulent.
At 7:30 in the evening, Ye Chen and Hua Nongying had dinner and went straight ahead to the Zhonghua Pavilion in the east of the city.
Zhonghua Pavilion is a restaurant with a long history. The decoration is simple and elegant. Compared with the Phoenix Tower in the university district, it is more Confucian-style, beautiful and elegant.
There are two supporting stone pillars outside the door of Zhonghua Pavilion, with two sentences written on them.
"China has been passed down for thousands of years, and ancient customs span nineteen continents!"
This is a famous saying left by the founder of Zhonghua Pavilion, which is still used today!
The parking lot outside the door of Zhonghua Pavilion is already filled with luxury cars, all with cow license plates. Among them are several green-skinned off-road vehicles with military license plates, which are quite powerful.
Ye Chen and Hua Nongying came outside the Zhonghua Pavilion. Hua Nongying wanted to join the Hua family team, so she went in first before Ye Chen.
Without Hua Nongying following him, Ye Chen suddenly lost a lot of attention. He showed the invitation outside the door and walked into the hall of the Chinese Pavilion. Very few people paid attention to him. Most people were very fond of this young man in ordinary clothes.
strangeness.
Although Ye Chen shocked the four families in the battle at South Beach, the people who knew him were only the elites of the four families who followed him that day. There were very few people who really knew Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took a cup of Long Island ice tea from the waiter, and then found a seat to the side and sat down. This place was opposite the ceremony table, so he could see everything.
He leaned on the chair and took a sip of his drink. At this moment, the tapping sound of high heels came from his ears, and then stopped in front of him.
"Ye Chen?"
Hearing the sound, Ye Chen put down his wine glass and raised his eyes to see a figure standing in front of him.
She has high black hair and a crystal crown. She looks like a royal princess. The green high heels under her feet add a bit of beauty. Combined with her long and straight legs, she is undoubtedly a complete stunner.
"It's you?"
Ye Chen glanced at the person coming, then looked away again, with a calm expression.
The visitor didn't pay attention. Instead, he looked excited and sat down next to Ye Chen. It was Li Jingjing whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Ye Chen, it's really you, I thought I made a mistake!"
