Chapter 88 A Match Made in Heaven
Chen Ying arrived at the dining table where Chen Lie was sitting and glanced at the relatives.
"Hello, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Little Aunt, and Aunts and Uncles."
There are quite a few friends from my dad's side coming over today, so please forgive me if there's anything I haven't done well in terms of hospitality.
Chen Gequn and Chen Ruoqun both responded to Chen Ying with "It's okay".
Chen Guangqun stood up and said, "We're all family, what's there to be surprised about?"
"But you, Xiaoying, are the star of the day. Go about your business and don't worry about us."
Chen Ying nodded slightly: "Thank you for your understanding, Second Uncle. I wonder how Chen Ye's health is recovering?"
Chang Guirong quickly interjected, "There are no problems anymore, she's recovering very well."
"That's good."
Then, Chen Ying's gaze shifted to Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao.
When Chen Ying's gaze fell on Chen Lie, she was immediately taken aback and thought to herself, "What?"
Because she felt that her younger cousin seemed to have become a different person. Compared to his previous timidity, Chen Lie's temperament had become much sharper, his eyes were bright and piercing, his posture was upright and steady, and every move he made was full of power.
Chen Ying thought to herself.
When was the last time I saw Chen Lie? It seems like it was about half a year ago.
In just six months, such a dramatic change in a person can only be explained by remarkable progress in martial arts.
Chen Ying then casually asked, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, how are Chen Lie and Yao Yao's martial arts progressing? Have they encountered any difficulties?"
"Chen Ying has started to care about her younger siblings' grades; she's really grown up."
After sighing, Chen Gequn said, "Chen Lie and Yao Yao are both doing well. Yao Yao is about to break through 1 in Qi and Blood, and Chen Lie, in particular, has been making rapid progress in Qi and Blood recently."
"Rapid progress?"
Chen Ying found it strange.
What kind of dramatic increase in Qi and blood levels would it take for such a significant change to occur?
She remembered that when she was in the genius training camp, her classmates, whom she hadn't seen for several months, had mastered several B-level martial arts techniques to perfection.
Even a surge of several hundred calories in blood and qi values didn't produce such a significant change in Chen Lie.
She already had a general idea of Chen Lie's grades, which were extremely poor. Even if he made rapid progress, how much could he possibly advance?
However, Chen Ying did not ask in detail, but simply said, "It's good that everything is fine, so that you and your second aunt can rest easy."
At this moment, Chen Ruoqun said, "Xiaoying, this is your cousin, Jiang Qiongqiong."
"cousin?"
Chen Ying glanced sideways at Jiang Qiongqiong, who was standing next to Chen Ruoqun.
"Hello, Cousin Chen Ying, I'm Qiongqiong."
"Qiongqiong, hello."
Chen Ying waved gently.
"Xiaoying, Qiongqiong knows you have achieved such great success in martial arts and admires you so much. When she came, she kept asking you to give her some pointers on martial arts," Chen Ruoqun said.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Ying nodded. "Then let's do it this afternoon. After the guests have all left, I'll give Qiongqiong some special pointers on martial arts."
"Thank you, Sister Chen Ying!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiongqiong immediately expressed her gratitude with delight.
At this moment, Chen Lie's second aunt, Chang Guirong, suddenly said, "Xiaoying, you can't be biased. When you're giving Qiongqiong pointers this afternoon, please give my Chen Ye some pointers as well."
Hearing that her younger sister and second sister-in-law had both consulted Chen Ying about their children, Feng Yuelan said, "Since that's the case, then let's not miss any opportunities."
Chen Lie and Yao Yao also asked Xiao Ying to give them some pointers.
Although we elders are at a higher level, we still can't understand the cultivation experience of martial arts geniuses. With your guidance, they will definitely avoid taking detours.
"Okay, don't worry, Second Aunt and Third Aunt, I won't miss a single one. I'll dedicate this afternoon to instructing these younger brothers and sisters in martial arts."
Chen Ying glanced at Chen Lie with a wary look inadvertently.
In the afternoon, she planned to take advantage of the opportunity to give Chen Lie some pointers and get a good feel for his background.
Standing to the side, Chen Ying's mother, Yang Huiqin, was overjoyed.
My precious daughter is so outstanding that all the relatives' children are vying to get her guidance, which undoubtedly makes her, as a mother, proud.
She has always insisted on holding a martial arts banquet for her daughter, isn't it just to show off in front of all her relatives and friends?
Now that her goal had been achieved, even her old military leaders had been invited to her daughter's martial arts banquet. Satisfied with her vanity, she beamed with pride and was extremely pleased.
"Xiaoying, two young people around your age are looking for you. They say they're your friends. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Yang Huiling came to Chen Ying's side.
"Okay, Mom!"
Chen Ying responded, then said to the relatives present, "Dear uncles and elders, please excuse me for a moment, my friend has arrived, I'll go see him first!"
After saying that, Chen Ying turned and left.
After Chen Ying left, Yang Huiqin said, "The banquet is about to begin, and the dishes will be served shortly. They are all nutritious meals that are good for your blood and energy."
Chen Ye, Chen Lie, and Yao Yao and Qiong Qiong, you all need to eat more!
After saying that, Yang Huiqin turned and left.
Chen Xingyao sat at the dining table, feeling somewhat restless. She said to Feng Yuelan, "Mom, it's too stuffy here. I want to go for a walk!"
"Alright, don't go too far. The banquet is about to start. Let your brother accompany you."
Seeing that Chen Xingyao had already left the table, Feng Yuelan immediately said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, go and keep an eye on your sister."
Chen Lie nodded, got up and followed Chen Xingyao to a corner in a hotel.
A quiet, silent corner after the turn.
Li Muge pulled Lu Qingchan over.
"Qingchan, I didn't know your grandfather was so powerful. You're actually from a wealthy and noble family."
Lu Qingchan said, "I remember living in the Lu family when I was little, but after I turned eight, I moved out with my parents."
"The Lu family is so powerful, they must be one of the top families in our Dongchuan Province."
"By the way, what realm is your grandfather at? Such a great figure, he should already be a grandmaster, right?" Li Muge asked.
Lu Qingchan thought for a moment and said, "I heard my father say that more than ten years ago, my grandfather was seriously injured while fighting against a strange beast. He was originally a Grandmaster, but after being seriously injured, coupled with his old age, his realm gradually declined."
Therefore, our Lu family, compared to other grandmaster families in Dongchuan, lacks a solid foundation.
"Oh, I see."
Li Muge nodded and asked in confusion, "Your Lu family is already the top family in Dongchuan. You must have been born with a huge amount of martial arts resources. Even so, no one's blood energy can reach 2000 calories."
Who was that person I met at the martial arts gym a few days ago who had reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood and possessed over 2,600 calories of Qi and Blood?
Could he be a genius from a major province on Earth renowned for its martial arts?
Stop guessing, I'll tell you.
Seeing that her friend had been pondering this matter all day and was almost obsessed with it, Lu Qingchan said, "The person you met should be from Yunchuan, a martial arts genius from the Shen family of Yunchuan."
"Ah, right, right, I think I heard people talking about the Shen family of Yunchuan and the Lingfeng Group from behind the crowd. It turns out it's true!"
"How did you know since you weren't even there?" Li Muge looked at Lu Qingchan.
Lu Qingchan sighed softly, "I heard about it when I accompanied my father to visit the Chen family the day before yesterday."
"No, that genius from the Shen family also said that she came to Dongchuan specifically to consult Chen Lie, and because of Chen Lie's potential, even the governor of Yunchuan Province had to humble himself and submit to him."
Another thing is certain: Zhao Jinglan, the president of Riyao Group in Dongchuan Province, has shown a desire to befriend Chen Lie. How is this possible?
Lu Qingchan immediately asked in surprise, "Is that so?"
"Of course." Li Muge nodded: "I don't know if it's true or not that the Governor of Yunchuan Province humbled himself to befriend Chen Lie, but I can confirm that it's true that the President of Riyao Group is on good terms with Chen Lie."
Do you know the president of Riyao Group? She's Zhao Jinglan, the "Pearl of Eight Provinces" from the TV series.
"Of course I know! But none of what you just said seems to me to be true."
"How can it not be real? It's guaranteed to be real!"
Didn't your dad want to set you up with that Chen Lie?
You can take this opportunity to get to know him more deeply.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense!"
Before Li Muge could finish speaking, Lu Qingchan decisively refused.
She remembered what Chen Lie said to her father that day: "There is a difference between immortals and mortals."
Although she didn't know why Chen Lie's attitude towards her had changed so much during this period, she believed it was a good thing.
My father and Chen Lie's father were such good friends. It would be bad if they were to become estranged because of these two younger generations.
Although Chen Lie's enthusiastic attitude towards her used to give her a headache, now she feels a little lost.
She couldn't help but wonder what had happened to cause such a big difference in Chen Lie's attitude towards her.
"Sister Lu, it really is you!"
Lu Qingchan turned her head and saw Chen Xingyao. She couldn't help but ask, "Yaoyao, what are you doing here?"
"The main character of today's banquet is my cousin. My parents brought my brother and me here as soon as it was light."
"Your brother is here too?"
Lu Qingchan looked towards the corner, and just then, Chen Lie walked over.
Lu Qingchan and Chen Lie exchanged a glance.
Chen Lie nodded to Lu Qingchan and walked over.
"Chen Lie, I left in a hurry last time and forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations on your great improvement in energy and blood, and on joining the elite class."
Lu Qingchan walked over and took the initiative to speak with Chen Lie.
Chen Lie nodded slightly: "Congratulations on returning to the Lu family in Dongchuan."
"I'd like to ask you, is your so-called pseudo-nutritional saturation constitution real?" Lu Qingchan asked again.
"Of course it's true."
Li Muge stepped forward and said, "Hello, Chen Lie. I'm Li Muge from Elite Class 1, and I'm good friends with Qingchan."
Chen Lie nodded to Li Muge.
"Are you Li Xianyu's older sister?" Chen Xingyao asked from the side.
Li Muge asked, "You know my sister?"
"Li Xianyu and I are both in the top class 1," Chen Xingyao replied.
"Oh, hello!"
Li Muge waved to Chen Xingyao.
At that moment, the hotel lights came on, and voices suddenly rang out from the stage.
"Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the banquet for Chen Ying's entry into the Martial Arts realm. I am the emcee of the Military Banquet Hotel."
Please return to your seats and try not to move around. The banquet will begin soon!
"Oh dear, the banquet is about to begin, brother, shall we go back?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyao spoke up.
"Yes!" Chen Lie nodded.
Lu Qingchan waved to Chen Xingyao, then waved to Chen Lie and said, "I'm not going to say hello to Uncle Chen and Aunt Feng."
"it is good."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he left with Chen Xingyao.
Goodbye, Sister Lu.
Lu Qingchan smiled and waved to Chen Xingyao again: "Goodbye!"
After Chen Lie left, Li Muge suddenly said, "This Chen Lie has a calm demeanor and every move he makes has the air of a strong person. His martial arts skills must be quite high."
"Qingchan, I agree to your marriage!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Qingchan couldn't help but glare at her friend reproachfully.
"I'm serious. Although there aren't many people in Elite Class 1 who are dating, I think it would be a wonderful thing if we could find good people to work together and strive for martial arts training side by side."
Lu Qingchan pouted and said, "If you have this idea, how about I put in a word with you and Chen Lie and suggest you date?"
"No, no!" Li Muge waved her hands repeatedly: "His martial arts are so powerful, we are not on the same level. He is a god, I am a mortal. There is a difference between gods and mortals, we can't get along."
But you're different. Your grades are better than mine, and now you've returned to the Lu family. You two are a match made in heaven.
"What do you mean by the difference between immortals and mortals? Where did you learn that? And why do you think Chen Lie's martial arts are better than yours?" Lu Qingchan couldn't help but ask.
"You don't know the 'divide between immortals and mortals' meme? It refers to the vast difference in martial arts between men and women, meaning they are almost on different levels."
Lu Qingchan nodded, thinking to herself: So that's what it means.
Li Muge added, "Chen Lie associates with martial arts geniuses from Yunchuan and frequents high-end venues like the Riyao Group. How could his martial arts skills be weak?"
"Then you're wrong. I can't explain what you mean by Yun Chuan martial arts genius and Riyao Group, but I can tell you for sure that Chen Lie's blood energy value is not as high as yours."
"Huh? No way?"
Meanwhile, Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao returned to the restaurant where their parents were.
Upon seeing Chen Xingyao, Feng Yuelan couldn't help but instruct him, "The banquet is about to begin, so don't wander off later."
"Got it!" Chen Xingyao replied.
At this moment, Jiang Qiongqiong tilted her head and whispered to Chen Lie, "Brother Chen Lie, do you and Yaoyao know the granddaughter of your uncle's military leader?"
Chen Lie gave Jiang Qiongqiong a strange look.
Jiang Qiongqiong quickly explained, "I saw you talking there when I was walking around just now."
"Yes, we know each other. Her dad and my dad were comrades-in-arms," Chen Lie said.
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Qiongqiong pulled her head back.
At this moment, the emcee, who had taken a two-minute break on stage, began to speak again.
"As you all have probably noticed, the images constantly displayed on the screen on the stage are the main subject of today's banquet: Chen Ying's martial arts journey."
Chen Ying and her parents entrusted me to express their sincere gratitude to all the relatives and friends who could come today. Thank you everyone.
"Of course, the most honorable thing is that our Dongchuan military has a former leader, Chen Ying's father Chen Gequn, who has promoted her."
"Lu Cangshan, the esteemed Elder Lu, has graced us with his presence."
