Chapter 86 Jiang Qiongqiong
Outside the hotel, a middle-aged woman was greeting guests.
Upon seeing Chen Lie's family, he didn't stop, but simply greeted them, "The third brother's family is here? Come in quickly!"
Chen Gequn stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, didn't you go to visit the military leaders with my brother? What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged woman said, "When visiting the old leader, Chaoqun only needs to bring Xiaoying."
Now that Chaoqun's status is different, many friends in the military with mid-to-high-ranking positions come to the banquet. Even if he can't personally invite them, someone still has to stay here to receive them.
That's why I came here early to entertain my relatives and friends.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged woman looked down at Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao.
"Yaoyao, Chen Lie, it's been almost a year since I last saw you. You both look like you've grown a lot taller."
"Hurry inside, the banquet starts promptly at 12 noon. It's all high-quality, nutritious food that helps boost your blood and energy levels, so eat plenty!"
"Okay, Auntie."
Chen Xingyao responded, and Chen Lie also hummed in agreement.
This middle-aged woman was Chen Lie's aunt, named Yang Huiqin.
At this moment, Aunt Yang Huiqin said to Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan, "What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and take the two children inside."
Fourth Sister Ruoqun and her family just went in. Your two families probably haven't seen each other in a long time, right? It's a good opportunity to have a chat.
Chen Gequn nodded, took out the Star Coin Card with the red envelope sealed inside, and handed it to Yang Huiqin.
"Sister-in-law, this is the money for Chen Ying's banquet. Please take it—"
However, at that moment, Yang Huiqin saw a guest and quickly walked over.
"General Zhang, you've arrived! Come in, please—"
Seeing this scene, Feng Yuelan said in a low voice, "Let's give the gift money later, let's go inside first."
"All right."
Chen Gequn could only nod, put away the red envelope, and walk into the Junyan Hotel.
"I just heard from my sister-in-law that my fourth sister is here too?"
As they walked, Feng Yuelan asked.
"Yes, Ruoqun is inside now." Chen Gequn nodded.
The Dongchuan Military Banquet Hotel is extremely magnificent.
Chen Xingyao jogged all the way to the innermost part of the hotel.
"Isn't this Yaoyao? Where are your parents?"
Chen Xingyao strolled around the hotel lobby when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. Turning around, she exclaimed, "Auntie?" "It's Auntie! It's been so long since I've seen you. Our Yaoyao has become more and more beautiful."
A beautiful young woman brushed Chen Xingyao's shoulder.
Chen Xingyao scratched the back of his head and said, "My parents are behind me."
At this moment, Chen Lie walked over with his parents.
Upon seeing the young woman, Chen Lie took the initiative to greet her, saying, "Auntie."
The beautiful young woman saw Chen Lie and exclaimed, "This is Chen Lie?"
"It hasn't been that long since I last saw you, how come you've changed so much?"
After looking Chen Lie up and down, she said, "His appearance hasn't changed much, but his temperament seems to have changed."
At this moment, Chen Gequn asked, "Ruoqun, are you alone?"
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law."
The beautiful young woman first greeted Mr. and Mrs. Chen Gexing, then added, "Qiongqiong and Wentao have already entered the private room."
Chen Gequn asked, "How have you been lately? Are you doing alright in Xichuan?"
1
"That's great, especially Qiongqiong. She just passed the elite student assessment a couple of days ago and joined the elite class."
"By the way, what about Yao Yao and Chen Lie? How are their martial arts results?"
"That's all good. Yao Yao's health points will soon break 1, and Chen Lie's health points have already reached several dozen."
"Chen Lie has improved so much? I remember before the New Year, his Qi and Blood value was less than 1." The beautiful young woman covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, Chen Lie has made great progress recently."
"Yaoyao is amazing too. She's only in the first semester of her first year of high school, and her Qi and Blood value is already close to 1."
If this momentum continues, joining the elite class next semester is a certainty, much better than Qiongqiong, who only entered the elite class in her second year of high school.
This beautiful young woman is Chen Ruoqun, the youngest of the Chen siblings and Chen Lie's aunt.
In Chen Lie's memory, he rarely had contact with this aunt because she had married into Xichuan Province, and he could only see her once a year.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over with a girl who was slightly older than Chen Xingyao.
Upon seeing Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan, the middle-aged man immediately greeted them, saying, "Third Brother, Sister-in-law."
Feng Yuelan asked, "Is Wentao still working at Xichuan Provincial Key High School?"
"Yes, sister-in-law." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, but half a year ago, I was transferred from the regular class to the elite class, and I've become an elite class tutor."
"You've become an elite class tutor? That's great, you can give Qiongqiong more guidance in the future." Feng Yuelan nodded with a smile.
"I've given her a lot of guidance, but Qiongqiong's progress in martial arts is not satisfactory." The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
His name is Jiang Wentao, and he is Chen Lie's uncle-in-law.
At this moment, Chen Ruoqun came up behind the girl: "Qiongqiong, quickly say hello to your uncle and aunt."
The girl nodded to Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan and said, "Uncle, Aunt."
Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan responded with smiles.
A short while later, Chen Guangqun and Chang Guirong brought Chen Ye in as well.
After greeting Chen Guangqun's family, Chen Ruoqun gathered the children together.
"Qiongqiong, this is your cousin Chen Lie, this is your cousin Chen Ye, and this is Yaoyao, who is a year younger than you and is your cousin."
After Chen Ruoqun finished speaking, she added, "A few years ago, when your mother brought you to Dongchuan to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, you always made excuses and refused to come. Now you can't even recognize all your cousins. Quickly greet your cousins."
The girl greeted the group, "Hello, Cousin Chen Lie, Cousin Chen Ye, and Cousin Yao Yao."
"Hello, Qiongqiong," Chen Ye greeted her warmly.
Chen Lie nodded and said "Mmm," while Chen Xingyao replied, "Cousin."
Chen Ruoqun whispered to his daughter, "Qiongqiong, your second aunt said that your cousin Chen Ye's blood energy value has exceeded three digits. He is a student who has been shortlisted for the top 100 elite students at the second key high school in Dongchuan Province."
Once there are fewer people around, you can talk to him and share your experience on increasing your Qi and Blood levels.
Hearing this, Chen Xingyao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He thought to himself: Second Aunt really has no modesty about Chen Ye's martial arts achievements, she dares to boast about anything.
Did you also ask Chen Ye to share his experience on how to deal with qi and blood deficiency?
Jiang Qiongqiong glanced at Chen Ye. Indeed, because she rarely traveled, she didn't know her cousins in Dongchuan Province.
But when Chen Ye and Chen Lie were together, she only felt Chen Lie's sharp aura and the imposing manner in his every move. Chen Ye, on the other hand, did not give her that feeling and was not as conspicuous as Chen Lie.
She originally thought Chen Lie was stronger in martial arts, but after her mother's reminder, she belatedly realized that the unassuming Chen Ye was actually the one with more outstanding martial arts skills.
"Cousin Chen Ye, hello. My Qi and Blood value is just over 3, while yours is over 100, and you're even on the list of the top 100 elite students."
He must be very skilled in martial arts.
If I ask you for some pointers later, please don't refuse.
Chen Ye grinned: "Of course not, you can come anytime!"
At this moment, Uncle Jiang Wentao suggested, "Let's find a place to sit down first."
"Okay!" Chen Guangqun nodded.
The three families found a large dining table in the hotel lobby and sat down.
At that moment, a huge 1,000-inch screen on the massive stage in the middle of the hotel began to light up.
On the screen, Chen Ying's message began to play.
"Chen Ying - Martial Arts Banquet"
"In the year 7358 of the Galactic Calendar, [Chen Ying] applied for the martial arts examination, thus beginning his path in martial arts."
In the same year, he was admitted to the top-tier martial arts class at Dongchuan Province's No. 1 key high school.
"In the year 7359 of the Milky Way calendar, during the second semester of the first year of high school, the Qi and Blood value exceeded 1, [Chen Ying]."
In the same year, he passed the elite student assessment and joined the elite class.
"In the year 7360 of the Galactic Calendar, with Qi and Blood value exceeding 10, [Chen Ying] embarks on the path of martial arts."
In the year 7361 of the Galactic Calendar, [Chen Ying] entered the list of the top 100 elite students for the first time.
In the same year, his Qi and Blood levels exceeded 100.
"In the second semester of senior year, [Chen Ying] became the number one martial arts athlete in the entire school."
That same year, he joined a talent training camp.
"In the year 7362 of the Galactic Calendar, his Qi and Blood value increased by leaps and bounds, ranking him among the top ten in the Genius Training Camp."
"In the year 7363 of the Milky Way calendar, I missed the quota for the provincial youth genius team by a hair's breadth."
"In the year 7364 of the Galactic Calendar, [Chen Ying] became an advanced martial artist."
"May Yi-yi [Chen Ying] forge ahead on her future path of martial arts, and continue to strive for excellence."
At the same time, deafening music began to play inside the hotel.
Jiang Qiongqiong couldn't help but exclaim, "Cousin Chen Ying's martial arts banquet is so grand! It's more grand than any martial arts banquet I've ever attended before!"
Chen Ruoqun smiled slightly and said, "Of course, your cousin Chen Ying has such good aptitude. She was a martial arts genius who almost made it into the provincial youth genius team. Your uncle and the others certainly won't be perfunctory about Chen Ying's martial arts banquet."
If you have the chance later, ask your cousin Chen Ying for some martial arts advice; that would be truly invaluable.
Jiang Qiongqiong nodded heavily.
Then, she looked at Chen Lie strangely.
"Cousin Chen Lie, your Qi and Blood stats must be very high too, right? Are they close to three digits?"
Chen Lie simply replied, "More or less."
Jiang Qiongqiong pursed her lips. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Chen Lie's blood energy level was not low.
At this moment, Yang Huiqin walked in from outside the hotel and saw that Chen Lie's three families were all sitting together, so she casually greeted them: "Oh, everyone's seated?"
Xiaoying will be here soon. I'll have her come over and say hello to you in a bit.
Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality.
"Chaoqun's location is different now. Look at the endless stream of military friends coming to celebrate today!"
"It's alright, sister-in-law, you all go ahead with your work. Our families haven't seen each other in a long time, so it's good for us to chat here," Chen Ruoqun replied.
Yang Huiqin nodded and said, "Okay, then you all sit down first. When Chen Ying arrives, I'll have her come over right away."
