Chapter 248 Please help me, Ji.
Chen Shijian's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Chen Lie to be so reckless, allowing the Dongchuan Provincial Government to get involved in such a trivial matter.
He glared at Chen Gequn: "You've really raised a fine son. He's clearly capable, yet he's unwilling to help his cousin. He's so narrow-minded. In my opinion, his martial arts career is over. He can't achieve anything greater."
Chen Shijian snorted coldly and left the banquet with a flick of his sleeve.
"grandfather!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Ye quickly expressed his gratitude and chased after him.
Chang Guirong, who was eating at the table, saw Chen Shijian leave without looking back, and quickly pulled Chen Guangqun to follow him.
"Dad—Dad, why did you suddenly leave?"
They chased after her all the way to the square outside the Sichuan Grand Banquet before Chang Guirong asked.
Chen Shijian stopped and turned to look at Chang Guirong, his face grim. He said, "That little brat Chen Lie actually told the provincial governor that we were harassing him and interfering with his martial arts practice."
The provincial governor said that the authorities would intervene and issue us a warning; if we contacted him again about this matter, the authorities would definitely take further action.
"What...what should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong immediately lost her temper.
She might be willing to risk everything and pester him relentlessly, but if she doesn't repent after being warned by the authorities, what good will come of it?
"They've already gotten the authorities involved, what else can they do?"
Chen Guangqun's expression was also unpleasant; he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
"What will Ono do if we just give up like this?"
His current blood energy value is less than 200 calories. If he tries to become a martial artist at this level, he can probably only get into the worst key martial arts university at best, and it will be difficult for him to find a slightly better one.
Besides, his marriage in southern Jiangsu province is also difficult to explain.
Chen Shijian immediately retorted angrily, "I've said it before, don't lie about these kinds of things."
My old friend still believes Ono is the leader of the fighting team.
"How about this?" Chen Guangqun thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a good martial arts hospital first and have Xiao Ye check up on his condition."
If the situation is truly dire, then we should hurry and search for resources, first seeking guidance from renowned masters to help Xiao Ye advance to the next level of martial arts.
As for the marriage in southern Jiangsu Province, it's still far from certain, so let's ask Dad to mediate and call it off!
"What? You're just going to give up like this? No way!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye immediately refused, saying, "Mom, Grandpa, we can't listen to Dad. These past few days, Ruan Liusu and I have been chatting on Green Bubble, and we've developed a deep affection for each other. How can we just give up like this?"
Chen Shijian asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Ye, are you sure you and the woman have developed deep feelings for each other?"
"Of course!"
Chen Ye immediately said.
Normally, he would send hundreds of messages and the other party might only reply for two or three days. But these past few days, as long as the woman wasn't practicing martial arts, she basically replied to every message he sent.
Such a significant change must be because the other person has developed feelings for him.
"Dad, since Ono has said that, why don't you arrange for him to meet the girl from Jiangsu Province? What if she doesn't care about Ono's martial arts achievements?"
Chen Shijian thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, then I'll contact my old friend and give it a try!"
Chen Ye and his family returned home with heavy hearts.
The banquet proceeded as scheduled in the hotel lobby.
After greeting the guests at the table, Feng Yuelan came up and said, "Isn't it a bit much to ask for official intervention?"
After Chen Ye's family left, Chen Gequn simply said, "That's good, at least we don't have to keep arguing."
Due to their urgent martial arts training, the members of the provincial youth genius group only sat with Gu Tian for a short while before leaving the hotel with most of the Guan Cai group members.
Feng Yuelan was busy running around, and had just sat down at a neighboring table when she heard someone ask, "Yuelan, Chen Lie's martial arts have improved so rapidly, has he really encountered some extraterrestrial master who is guiding him?"
"Yeah, my kid is about to go into his senior year of high school, but he's still hanging around in a regular class. If Chen Lie really has any martial arts secrets, we should ask him to share them with everyone."
Feng Yuelan said, "Even the provincial governor said there are no such experts outside the stars. Do you still not believe the provincial governor?"
"The provincial governor is a martial arts master. His words are like gold and jade. How can we not believe him?"
However, I just heard from the provincial governor that Chen Lie's change was due to enlightenment.
"Although I don't know what enlightenment is, Chen Lie's martial arts are so advanced now, surely it wouldn't be a problem for him to take half a day to share his martial arts experience with the kids?"
"this----"
"Don't worry, it'll only take up an afternoon. There aren't many of us in the whole group who have family members who are martial arts students at the Qi and Blood stage."
"I'll ask my son later," Feng Yuelan said, not daring to agree directly.
Soon, the banquet came to an end, and many guests began to leave.
Lu Qingchan, who was sitting at the table with her parents, was a little restless. Sometimes she looked around, and sometimes she lowered her head to pick up food.
Beside Lu Qingchan, Chen Xingyao and Feng Shanshan were talking non-stop.
Lu Qingchan then looked at Chen Xingyao and asked, "Yaoyao, are you aware of your brother's martial arts skills?"
Chen Xingyao, who was talking to Feng Shanshan, immediately said, "I'm not sure, but my brother is over there, you can go ask him!"
"No!" Lu Qingchan shook her head repeatedly.
Xu Yunyan, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow and said, "Yaoyao, aren't you surprised at all that your brother's martial arts have improved so quickly lately?"
"What's so strange about that? My brother is just naturally amazing!" Chen Xingyao replied.
Xu Yunyan felt strange. Did Chen Lie really have some special physique, or was Chen Lie just hiding his true abilities?
It's simply impossible to go from having less than 1 unit of Qi and Blood to becoming the top martial arts champion in three provinces in just six months.
Her nephew, Xu Yuanhao, was highly talented and practiced martial arts diligently, but he didn't even make it into the top ten in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
Chen Lie, on the other hand, won first place without saying a word. How could the difference between them be small?
Six months ago, she would have definitely thought that Chen Lie was not good enough for her daughter and would have opposed Lu Qidong's matchmaking efforts between the two.
But now, she is satisfied with Chen Lie in every way, except that Chen Lie is a little too outstanding.
The top martial arts champion in the province was more than a match for her daughter, but now another martial arts champion from three provinces had arrived. Compared to him, her daughter seemed somewhat unworthy of Chen Lie, which truly troubled her.
With almost half the guests gone from the hotel, Chen Lie's parents were now free.
Because they all knew each other, Chen Lie's uncles Chen Chaoqun, Lu Qidong, Feng Mingli, and Feng Xueli, as well as Wei Hongye, were all seated next door.
Chen Gequn came to Wei Xi's side and greeted everyone.
"Big Brother, Brother Wei, and Qidong, thank you so much for coming today!"
Chen Chaoqun said, "Gequn, you've really made a name for yourself this time. Your son has turned out great!"
"Our whole family is so proud to have produced a martial arts champion from three provinces!"
"Brother, you flatter me!" Chen Gequn said.
Wei Hongye said, "This is no exaggeration. She is the number one among the younger generation of martial arts in the three provinces. To be honest, no amount of praise is too much. If Ranran had this ability, I would be laughing in my dreams."
Wei Ranran, standing nearby, snorted, "Just talk, why drag me into this? Does joining the genius team mean I can't even handle a compliment?"
The people around burst into laughter.
Chen Gequn then turned to Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, why don't you offer a toast to our elders?"
Chen Lie nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a staff member next to him brought over a glass of wine.
"Dear elders, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this banquet. Let's leave it at that and enjoy the wine."
With that, Chen Lie raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Chaoqun, Lu Qidong, and others also had a drink.
At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang's mother, Yang Huixian, who is also Chen Lie's aunt, said, "Chen Lie, I remember that I can go to your house to ask you to give Shuangshuang and Shanshan some pointers on martial arts."
I know you're busy and must have a tight schedule for martial arts practice, so I haven't bothered you. But surely you have some free time today?
"I think there's no better time than now. Why don't you give those two sisters some pointers this afternoon?"
"Okay." Chen Lie nodded.
At this moment, Auntie also said, "In that case, is it alright to instruct Zhijie as well, Chen Lie?"
"Okay, let's go together then!" Chen Lie replied.
Xu Yunyan then stood up and said, "Chen Lie, Qingchan has been talking about you a lot lately."
"Is it alright if I give Qingchan a one-on-one martial arts lesson later?"
Lu Qingchan blushed slightly and couldn't help but say, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever mentioned him so often?"
Xu Yunyan smiled but didn't say anything.
Lu Qingchan stepped down from her seat and came to Chen Lie's side, saying softly, "Chen Lie, congratulations on winning first place in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
Chen Lie hummed in agreement and said, "You've made considerable progress as well."
Lu Qingchan smiled and said, "It's so-so, far inferior to yours."
"It's meaningless to compare yourself to others in martial arts; just compete with yourself."
"That makes a lot of sense."
Lu Qingchan hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Um—do you have time after the banquet? I—"
Before she could finish speaking, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Chen Lie!"
Chen Lie looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful and tall girl standing on the red carpet below the stage, looking at Chen Lie.
The people around were all taken aback.
"This girl looks vaguely familiar."
"Isn't this Ji Lingxuan, the martial arts champion of Yunchuan Province, who used to be the subject of so much propaganda in Yunchuan?"
"It really is Ji Lingxuan, the former number one martial arts genius of Sanchuan?"
Why did you suddenly come to Dongchuan, and especially to this kind of place? Are you here to cause trouble?
"It's actually possible. I watched the live broadcast of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, and to be honest, I didn't quite understand how Chen Lie won in the later parts."
Perhaps Ji Lingxuan underperformed during the martial arts competition and, feeling resentful, came to cause trouble at Chen Lie's banquet?
After seeing Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan slowly walked towards him.
"I'm sorry, Chen Lie, I didn't know you were having a graduation banquet today, so I didn't bring any gifts."
"It's okay, I don't need any gifts!" Chen Lie raised his hand.
Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan were puzzled. They had naturally watched the live broadcast of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament and knew that the girl in front of them was their son's ultimate opponent.
Furthermore, they were very familiar with Ji Lingxuan's name even without watching the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
Could it be that he's genuinely dissatisfied and has come to challenge us?
"Chen Lie, what's this student doing—"
"Dad, Mom, this is Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan. She wants to see me about something."
-
Upon hearing that these two were Chen Lie's parents, Ji Lingxuan said, "Uncle, Aunt, I made an appointment with Chen Lie. I've come here to exchange martial arts ideas with him."
I didn't know Chen Lie was having a graduation banquet today, but that's okay, I can wait for him!
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuelan quickly replied, "Hello, Ji classmate, it's good to exchange martial arts ideas."
Martial arts progress only through exchange. Please sit for a while. You've come all the way from Yunchuan; I won't keep you waiting long!
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Ji Lingxuan nodded and followed Feng Yuelan to a seat.
Lu Qingchan's expression darkened; she understood that Chen Lie's circle had now risen to the highest level in Sichuan.
She seems to have fallen out of Chen Lie's social circle.
His interactions with Ji Lingxuan were naturally positive and constructive, while his interactions with himself were probably meaningless social interactions.
The expressions of the many relatives and friends present also changed. The fact that the champion of martial arts in Yunnan Province and the former number one martial arts genius in Sichuan had traveled thousands of miles to exchange martial arts skills shows that Chen Lie's martial arts achievements have reached a very high level.
"Chen Lie will be instructing the children in martial arts later. Is there enough time?" a relative asked.
Feng Yuelan said, "I'm really sorry, but this student Ji came all the way from Yunnan Province. We can't keep her waiting for so long. How about next time?"
Chen Lie's two aunts exchanged a glance. They naturally knew that it was inappropriate to keep Ji Lingxuan, who had come from afar, waiting. While sighing in their hearts, they also wondered when they would have to wait the next time.
"No need to wait until next time, let's do it now. It's a good opportunity to ask Ji for a favor."
As soon as Chen Lie spoke, several parents of martial arts students at the Qi and Blood stage urged their children to step forward.
Yang Huixian instructed her two daughters, "Shuangshuang, Shanshan, you two go quickly. If you have any questions about martial arts, feel free to ask."
Ji Lingxuan from Yunchuan is probably no less skilled in martial arts than Chen Lie, and she certainly has unique insight.
Especially you, Shuangshuang, don't be so shy, just ask what you need to ask.
Opportunities like today will probably not come again!
"good!"
Feng Shanshan nodded heavily.
Perhaps because Chen Lie had such a bad image in her mind before, she felt almost no awe towards him, the martial arts champion of three provinces.
But Ji Lingxuan is different. She has been the champion of Yunchuan Martial Arts for several consecutive months and is known as the number one martial arts genius in Sichuan.
She had always admired this martial arts genius from a poor family when she read the news before, and now she could finally see Ji Lingxuan in person.
A short while later, six people, including Feng Shuangshuang, Feng Shanshan, Feng Zhijie, and Lu Qingchan, came out.
Chen Lie glanced at Ji Lingxuan, who was sitting upright beside him, and said, "Ji, could you do me a favor and give my relatives' and friends' children some pointers on martial arts?"
