The air was filled with the faint fragrance from the girl.

Lin Tian glanced at the other person and smiled, "I just wanted to come over for some fun, and President Hai was willing to bring me over to experience things!"

There wasn’t much Lin Tian could say to Chen Yi.

So he casually brushed it off.

His primary intention for coming was because of Jiuniao Group.

After learning the situation from grandfather Lin Zhenxiu, this time it is inevitable that Jiuniao Group will collapse!

Not to mention the earlier encounter that nearly killed Jiushan Xiong, just the Treasure Map alone piqued his interest.

If action is taken, it will be against mortal enemy!

Especially since it’s a Japan company, with his National Security Bureau identity, he can deal with them as far as he can!

But these matters definitely shouldn’t be discussed with Chen Yi.

Upon arriving.

He had agreed to Hai Yueqing’s assistance, and could only wait for Chen Qianli and the others to discuss and finalize things.

As for what result, it was of no significance to him.

It mainly depended on Hai Yueqing’s intentions.

"You came at the right time! I came with my grandfather also wanting to check out those bastards from Japan! I don’t believe on Huaxia soil they dare act against us! And this time, there are many bigwigs here, look, that’s Chairman Fang Lei from Fanghe Group, over there is Hee JingsHeen from Jingshen Pharmaceutical... With so many business moguls here, they wouldn’t dare act rashly!"

Chen Yi waved her petite fist at Lin Tian with indignation and then curiously added, "But... talk about yourself... you don’t quite match with what I imagined!"

"Oh? How so?"

Lin Tian actually understood what Chen Yi was trying to say, but he still asked casually.

"Just those rumors... you might’ve heard them! Though I think they’re exaggerated!"

Chen Yi blinked her eyes apologetically and said, "What I imagined was... you seem different! The feeling you give off is... composed, mysterious... and I can’t quite describe it! You’re actually pretty nice! I think my cousin exaggerated too much, saying things like you’re a waste, which is a terrible way to speak about one’s cousin!"

"Oh... sorry, I just blurted it out quickly!"

Realizing she had misspoken, Chen Yi instinctively covered her small mouth with her two jade hands.

Then, she stuck her tongue out at Lin Tian slightly, her pretty face blushing.

Seeing Chen Yi’s somewhat adorable embarrassment, Lin Tian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The girl before him was genuinely candid, much better in temperament compared to Lin Qingwu.

"It doesn’t matter, let’s just consider it a misunderstanding!"

Lin Tian spread his hands, showing indifference, "Besides, there are so many misunderstandings in the world, if I explain every single one, wouldn’t I be exhausted? No need to care, let them happen even if the sky falls, right?"

"Wow... the way you say things is so philosophical!"

Chen Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Lin Tian, laughing playfully, "I suspect you were pretending to be silly all this time, otherwise why do so many people misunderstand you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly.

He had just spewed a few random words, yet the young girl was astonished.

At this moment. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

In the teahouse.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

Chen Qianli announced loudly, "We’ve discussed the terms! It depends on whether Jiuniao Group accepts or not! If not, we’ll just unite and develop independently!"

"However, those bastards from Japan are always insidious, cunning, and ruthless, capable of any means!"

"Moreover, with powerful allies seated on their side, we must prepare accordingly!"

"Indeed!"

Many people nodded in agreement.

"Elder Chen, earlier you told me that you personally went and invited a master to assist, how did that go?"

Fang Lei, the chairman of Fanghe Group, spoke from Chen Qianli’s left, "Over there in Japan, they’re prevalent with Tamers, Ninjas, and Samurai... these are strong characters akin to our Huaxia’s Ancient Martial Artists... essentially Martial Arts Experts, typically serving as the staff for various families and conglomerates as seated giants!"

"For super multinational giants like Jiuniao Group to be setting up in our Great China Region, how could they not have strong protection? Therefore, going forth this time, safety must be ensured!"

These words immediately gained nods of agreement from the many present.

The attendees included leaders from numerous major corporations and families.

Even if not acquainted with Martial Arts, they knew of military god Jun Wuyi, a Grandmaster famous throughout Huaxia!

Hence, they could understand some of this!

"May I ask which master Elder Chen has invited?"

Hee JingsHeen, the head of Jingshen Pharmaceutical on another side, picked up the conversation and asked.

"Luckily, I personally visited and invited Ancient Elder Gu Chengyi from Drooping Blue Mountain!"

Chen Qianli took a deep breath, his face solemn, eyes glinting with respect, he said sternly, "Besides Ancient Elder, he has two disciples who are also formidable! Additionally, apart from a certain reward, they couldn’t bear seeing Japanese in our Huaxia exert dominance, willing to extend a helping hand! This journey to Jiuniao Group will be secure and worry-free!"

With this statement, some people present exchanged glances.

Appearing unaware of who Ancient Elder Gu Chengyi is!

While some showed shock and fear, fell into silence.

Sss~

After a long pause, gasps echoed around.

"Elder Chen, you actually managed to invite Ancient Elder out of seclusion; our chances in negotiations just became much greater!"

"Indeed... it’s rumored that decades ago, Ancient Elder Gu became a Martial Arts Grandmaster! Compared to Huaxia military god Jun Wuyi, he’d gained fame decades earlier... no... Ancient Elder became a Grandmaster before the birth of Jun Wuyi!"

"Sss, Martial Arts Grandmaster? This venerable elder, acclaimed long ago, we’ve never heard of!"

"Before the fame of Jun Wuyi, Ancient Elder roamed widely, rising in Guang Han Continent, defeating Han Country and Emperor Country experts, renowned everywhere!"

"Yes, yes... I’ve heard of that, a legend exists of a Grandmaster from last century conquering far and wide in Guang Han Continent, intimidating neighboring nations! Didn’t expect it to be this predecessor Gu Chengyi!"

"Ancient Elder was a Martial Arts Grandmaster decades ago, how far has he reached after all these years?"

...

The crowd couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, faces revealing shock and delight, combined with deep reverence.

"Ancient Elder secluded himself at the dawn of the century, withdrawing to Drooping Blue Mountain, training disciples!"

After waiting for the discussions to subside, Chen Qianli nodded and continued, "Now Ancient Elder has a disciple who’s stepped into Martial Arts Grandmaster! He also has a young disciple with terrifying talent, who at only around twenty has achieved Half-step Master! As for Ancient Elder’s own cultivation, it is unfathomable, beyond our grasp!"

The disciple even reached Martial Arts Grandmaster?

Once again, everyone let out rounds of astonished gasps and breathed deeply.

Thud thud~

Suddenly, from downstairs of the teahouse, came a series of extremely heavy footsteps.

And every falling step seemed to echo in everyone’s hearts, causing Chen Qianli and others to look alarmed, they turned towards the main entrance.
