C22 Chapter 22
The celebration banquet organized by the Jiangzhou government was held at the Jiangzhou International Hotel. Night fell, and the wind at the riverside was slightly cold. Under Hee Chong's lead, Lee Beichen arrived at the hall on the fifth floor of the International Hotel.
When Lee Beichen arrived at the hall, almost everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.
"Everyone, let me introduce you! This is Master Lee Beichen, Master Lee! This time, in the mission to eliminate the criminals, the international S-class wanted criminal, Eight-armed Devil Matsuda, was killed by him!" Hee Chong walked up to Lee Beichen and introduced him to him. Everyone present was wearing a suit and a collar, except Lee Beichen, who was wearing a simple blue sports jacket. It did not look like it.
"Greetings, everyone!" Lee Beichen cupped his fists at everyone present.
Everyone looked away almost instantly. Those city leaders thought that Lee Beichen was just a martial arts practitioner, so they ignored him. They were all active in their own circles.
The so-called celebration banquet was just a place used by the upper class to build connections, which was also known as a high class dinner.
"Mr. Lee is truly a master who does not reveal his skills. A true master who revealed his skills!" At this moment, an old man in a black suit walked forward with a glass of red wine in his hand. Lee Beichen knew this person. It was Fu Yuan. Her granddaughter, Fu Qiufu, followed behind Fu Yuan.
Fu Qiufu was slightly surprised by Lee Beichen's arrival. Everyone was curious when they saw the famous entrepreneur, Fu Yuan, initiate a conversation with Lee Beichen.
"So it's brother Fu Yuan! I didn't expect you to be here too! We really don't know each other in this world!"
"I did a small business a few years ago! It can't be helped. In such an occasion, it's not possible for me not to personally deal with it!" Fu Yuan said with a bitter smile.
As cultivators, both of them could understand each other's current state of mind. Lee Beichen found a quiet corner and casually chatted with Fu Yuan.
"According to the Yellow Emperor's Internal Cultivation Technique, ancient people are more than a hundred years old, and their movements are not weak! Mr. Lee is experienced and knowledgeable! I wonder if he can understand this sentence!"
"In ancient times, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is thick, and coupled with the Qi Cultivation Technique, the path of immortality can be achieved! In ancient times, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is thick, and the Qi Cultivation Technique is rampant! It can't be compared to today! Ever since Mythological Era...!"
Not long after, the scene suddenly quieted down and interrupted Lee Beichen's words. A beautiful woman in a blue dress came into the hall. This woman was none other than Wong Xiaohui.
Wong Xiaohui swept her eyes across the hall as if she was looking for something. Finally, her eyes locked onto the northeast corner. The one sitting in the northeast corner was Lee Beichen.
When Wong Xiaohui saw Lee Beichen, a flash of joy appeared on her face. Just as she was about to greet Lee Beichen, a man in a blue suit walked forward and blocked his path. This man was quite handsome, but there was a trace of gloominess hidden in his black pupils.
Behind the man was a middle-aged man, although he was wearing a suit. It couldn't hide his strong muscles at all. Lee Beichen, who was standing at the side, saw clearly that the middle-aged man was as calm as water. Between his words and actions, there was some spiritual energy flowing out of his body. He was not an ordinary person.
"Xiaohui! I didn't expect that you would also attend this celebration banquet! You didn't know how hard it was for me to chase after you! I chased you from Devil Capital all the way to Jiang City, and now it's good. I finally found you and beat you up! " The young man looked at Wong Xiaohui and revealed a kind smile.
"Wai Kai! I don't like you. Why do you keep pestering me?" A trace of impatience appeared on Wong Xiaohui's face.
Everyone present stood to the side to show that they were watching the show. It could be seen that this Wai Kai's identity wasn't simple. From the conversation between the two, Lee Beichen estimated that this guy was most likely one of the princes who came out from the big courtyard of Devil Capital.
"It doesn't matter if you don't like me. I will slowly make you like me! This doesn't prevent me from chasing you! Oh right, I bought a blue diamond pendant from South Africa. I was just about to give it to you!" Wai Kai's skin could be said to be extremely thick. He took out a jewelry box and handed it to Wong Xiaohui.
"A playboy like you, don't even think about making me like you! Move aside, if you don't move, I will call people!" Wong Xiaohui had an impatient look on her face and did not accept Wai Kai's gift.
"Xiaohui, listen to me. I really like you!" Wai Kai grabbed Wong Xiaohui's hand and his face became gloomy.
The surrounding leaders and officers did not seem to want to interfere. For officials like them, protecting oneself was the best choice. Going forward to intervene meant that their future was not guaranteed. The officials were like a battlefield, each and every one of them treading on thin ice.
"Let me go! You're hurting me!"
"If you don't accept my gift, I won't let go!" Wai Kai's face became a little ferocious. His greedy eyes stared at Wong Xiaohui's white face.
Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, Lee Beichen's body flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Wong Xiaohui. He threw Wai Kai's hand away.
"He doesn't like you. Don't be so shameless anymore!" Lee Beichen said coldly. Everyone was frozen. It was already too late for Hee Chong to step forward to save the situation.
"En! Where did you come from? How dare you be impudent in front of me?" Wai Kai looked at Lee Beichen and smiled coldly. In his opinion, this man was just an ignorant young man. He had a hundred ways to kill him.
"I am her friend!" Lee Beichen said lightly.
"Friend?" Wai Kai let out a breath and looked at Wong Xiaohui, who was hiding behind Lee Beichen, and said, "Xiaohui! Is he your friend?"
"That's right! He's my boyfriend! I already have a boyfriend! Stop pestering me!" Wong Xiaohui's face turned slightly red as she spoke.
Lee Beichen was stunned and secretly sighed at the heart of a woman. He had come to save the situation but was instead used as a shield by Wong Xiaohui. But since Wong Xiaohui had already said it, he was not willing to explain anymore.
"Good! You are very good!" Wai Kai laughed loudly. His laughter was somewhat crazy! A poor man actually dared to snatch his woman from him. This was simply a huge joke.
Lee Beichen didn't have the slightest fear when facing Wai Kai, the Crown Prince. After entering the cultivation world, an invincible will had been born in his heart. "The Son of Heaven can't get on the ship. He calls himself the Wine God!"
"I heard that you are a martial artist! How about this, on the fifth of next month, I will set up an arena in the Jiangzhou's White Dragon Bay. If you dare to come, then pretend that nothing happened today! " Wai Kai waved his hand, and the middle-aged man behind him stood out. A pair of sharp eyes stared at Lee Beichen, and an invisible killing intent spread out.
