Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 304 The Legend of Master Li
Jindu’s grand hotel is one of the most famous hotels in Jindu and also happens to be a property of the Zheng Family.
Today, the engagement banquet of the Zheng Family and the Wu Family will be held at the grand hotel.
The Zheng Family sent out several hundred invitations, from government officials to business magnates; they invited everyone.
Even Yang Tianren had invited some cultivators and martial artists from Jindu.
Today is Zheng Fengfeng’s engagement banquet, and spending money is not an issue; what matters most is saving face.
Lan Family villa.
Lan Shili looked at the old master in formal attire and hesitated a bit, "Dad, with the Zheng and the Wu Families getting engaged today, is it really appropriate for us to go?"
The old master straightened his tie and said, "There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Everyone needs to make their way in Jindu, and there are no eternal grudges, only eternal interests."
Lan Shili then fell silent.
...
Jindu’s grand hotel witnessed a continuous arrival of luxury cars, as if there was a luxurious car exhibition going on.
In the lobby’s lounge area, Yang Tianren sat with a group of middle-aged men and seniors on the sofas.
Each of these individuals had an extraordinary bearing, clearly not ordinary people.
One man looked at Yang Tianren for a few seconds and said, "I see Daoist Yang’s aura is more condensed. It seems stronger than the last time I saw you. Have you had a breakthrough recently?"
Upon hearing this, the rest of the group revealed a degree of surprise, "Has Daoist Yang truly made a breakthrough?"
Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, a hint of pride rose in Yang Tianren’s heart, and he nodded slightly, "Hmm, indeed, there has been some progress."
Upon receiving confirmation from Yang Tianren, everyone inhaled sharply.
"Daoist Yang reached the Abstinence Realm ten years ago, and to move from Abstinence to the first level of Abstinence Realm in ten years, such a cultivation talent leaves the rest of us in the dust."
Indeed, to progress from the Abstinence Realm to the first level in ten years was a terrifying pace.
One must understand that the path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; the further one goes, the harder it is to improve one’s cultivation level.
It was quite normal for many people to spend over a decade or even several decades in the same realm.
"Something big happened in Ling City recently, has anyone among you heard?"
"What big event? Let’s hear it," an old man with a white beard stroked his whiskers and asked.
The man who spoke was over forty, strong-bodied, with a firm countenance, and occasional flashes of brilliance in his eyes: "You are all familiar with Wu Hao of the Wu Family from Zhongzhou, right?"
"Wu Hao? The young prodigy of the Wu Family?"
"It is said that Wu Hao’s cultivation level has now reached the third layer of the Condensation Realm. Tsk tsk, I remember the boy is only 28 years old, right? To reach this level at such a young age, his future is boundless."
"Zhongzhou truly deserves its reputation as the home of warriors. The Wu Family might only rank within the top twenty there, yet it possesses such terrifying power."
"Daoist Zhu, what’s the relationship between this great event and the Wu Family? You’ve been going round in circles without getting to the point," another pressed.
Daoist Zhu chuckled and responded, "No rush, no rush. The big event I’m about to tell relates exactly to this Wu Hao of the Wu Family."
Everyone perked up their ears upon hearing this.
Daoist Zhu continued, "Some time ago, the Ghost Market in Ling City opened, and Wu Hao participated in it."
"Not only that, but Wu Hao also got into a skirmish there with someone. It’s said that his opponent was incredibly powerful, unfathomable, and needed only one move to kill Wu Hao!"
"What!" The crowd was somewhat surprised.
"To defeat Wu Hao in one move, that person’s cultivation level must be at least the fourth layer of the Condensation Realm."
"Who from the great clans has Wu Hao offended? To be directly killed like that, you must know that Wu Hao was the Wu Family’s genius. Just killing him like that, can the Wu Family swallow this grievance?"
"Hehe, my fellow daoists, don’t speculate wildly. Let me tell you, the person he offended is known as Master Li and it’s also his first time attending the Ghost Market. Furthermore, it is said that this Master Li is extremely young, even younger than Wu Hao!" Zhu Daoist dropped another bombshell.
"Younger than Wu Hao, and also killed him in one move?"
"How can this be possible?"
"Could it be that this Master Li used some unsavory means?"
Zhu Daoist shook his head and said, "Do you know how Master Li killed Wu Hao?"
"Zhu Daoist, you’re being very naughty, not speaking straightforwardly. Don’t beat around the bush like a woman," someone said impatiently.

Zhu Daoist laughed and said, "That Master Li, with a gesture of a spell, summoned the Heavenly Thunder, and a bolt of it reduced Wu Hao to nothingness, not even his soul remained."
Upon hearing these words, the resting area went quiet, even Yang Tianren was frowning and remained silent.
"Thunder Summoning Technique?"
"Does this Master Li actually understand such a profound spell?"
"Zhu Daoist, is what you’re saying true? After all, rumors tend to become exaggerated as they spread, and by the time they’ve reached you, they’ve probably lost all credibility," someone doubted.
Zhu Daoist also shook his head, sighing, "I didn’t believe it either, to be honest. After all, a young man in his twenties, with a cultivation strong enough to kill Wu Hao in one move and knowing such a high-level technique like Thunder Summoning. However, this matter was related by a close friend of mine, and its authenticity is certainly without question."
There was silence again among the crowd, and it was a long time before someone said, "A Master Li has emerged in Ling City. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to pay my respects. Whether it’s a mule or a horse, one has to take it out for a walk."
Another person asked, "Isn’t the Wu Family from Zhongzhou planning to take revenge?"
Zhu Daoist said, "I heard that Wu Cang, the Family Head of the Wu Family, is now in Ling City."
With Wu Cang having gone to Ling City, this matter was very likely to be true.
Yet, there still were doubts about the young Master Li’s capabilities among the people.
It’s no surprise, considering the shocking nature of Zhu Daoist’s claims.
"Alright, my fellow daoists, let’s put this matter aside for now. Today is my grandson’s engagement celebration; let us make our way upstairs," Yang Tianren stood up and said.
The crowd chuckled and followed him upstairs.
By noon, the guests had almost all arrived.
The elders from the Lan Family, among others, had also brought their gifts, and met with Zheng Bihui in the grand banquet hall upstairs.
Zheng Bihui still harbored resentment over the incident that day, but he showed the due respect in the presence of the old master from the Lan Family. Read the latest on novelbuddy
After all, in terms of age, the old master was old enough to be his father.
The old master spoke with a hint of apology, "Bihui, I was seriously ill in bed the other day, and when I woke up, Shili told me about the incident, which angered me a lot. That Li Xiaoyao, I have already driven him away, and my Lan Family will definitely have no further connection with him."
This statement was the old master’s stance.
Li Xiaoyao was a cultivator and indeed very powerful, but the ambition and pride he displayed greatly disappointed the old master.
Such a cultivator would not live long.
Even if Li Xiaoyao saved his life, granting him an additional twenty or thirty years, between him and the Zheng Family, he still chose the Zheng Family.
