"Ganlin, you've suffered so much!"
Shen Qi took the Bixue tea and dragon snake fruit from Wang Ganlin and said, "Among the disciples I accepted back then, you are the only one who has such a thoughtful attitude."
When Wang Ganlin heard Shen Qi's praise, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
"As long as Master likes it, I will go through fire and water for you!"
"If Master hadn't intervened back then, I would have been reduced to dust. How could the Wang family be so prosperous today? As long as I'm still alive, I will never forget Master's kindness!"
"It's a pity that in order to avoid trouble, I faked my death and hid from the world more than ten years ago. I haven't been seen since then. Only a few people in the Wang family, such as Hui Wen, know about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met Master in this way."
Shen Qi nodded. "It's okay. You know my temper. I never care about these things. But I do want to ask you, why did you fake your death and hide from the world more than ten years ago? Is there any reason behind this?"
Although he has not come out for eighty years, his status and position are still there. If anyone thinks that he can bully his disciples at will because he is in seclusion, he will be the first to disagree!
Wang Ganlin knew Shen Qi's temper and said hurriedly, "Master, you misunderstood! More than a decade ago, the Wang family was already one of the top wealthy families in Beijing and held a pivotal position in the Xia Kingdom. If we go any further, it will likely cause some unnecessary trouble, so I plan to keep the Wang family low-key."
"But the situation at the time was very special. As long as I was still around, it would be difficult for the Wang family to keep a low profile. After much deliberation, I could only fake my own death and proactively reduce some of the influence. This way, although the development of the Wang family would be affected, it wouldn't be too noticeable."
Shen Qi stared at Wang Ganlin for a few seconds, and after confirming that he was not lying, he nodded slightly. "Yes, you are smarter than your brother! As long as no one forces you, it will be fine."
Wang Ganlin smiled. "Master, I am your disciple. Back then, your fame shook the world. Even if you disappeared, no one would dare to do anything to us. I'm just worried that the Wang family being too high-profile is not a good thing. After all, I don't have much time left."
Shen Qi nodded. "Well, you did a great job! I'm very happy to see you today! The gift you prepared for me is very valuable, and I like it very much. But please don't go to Kunshan again. Kunshan is full of dangers, and in your current state, you will still be in danger. I understand your intentions, that's all."
"Of the few disciples I accepted back then, only you and Changge are left. I hope you can enjoy these last few years and stop running around."
Wang Ganlin shook his head. "It is my honor to be able to do something for Master. I have lived for over a hundred years and have seen so much. I have also experienced the prosperity of the world. There is nothing much to be nostalgic about. My only regret is that my cultivation is not enough and I cannot stay by Master's side for long to fulfill my filial duty."
"Alright, my cultivation is higher than yours, and my health is better than yours, so I don't need anyone to take care of me! Now I order you to enjoy your old age and stop running around. Do you understand?"
Shen Qi's tone suddenly became serious, because he knew Wang Ganlin's temper too well. If his tone was not stern enough, Wang Ganlin would not listen at all.
Seeing Shen Qi's attitude, Wang Ganlin had no choice but to nod.
"Yes, Master, I understand."
Shen Qi looked up at the helicopter parked on the roof, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Society and technology are progressing, but you and your fellow practitioners... it's a pity that the world today is no longer suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, I would definitely find a way to let you live for hundreds more years!"
Wang Ganlin asked, "Master, how is Senior Brother Changge? Have you seen him?"
Shen Qi said, "I met him once in Xiangcheng. He's in good health, but unfortunately he's limited by his cultivation. I'm afraid it's difficult for him to last another ten years."
Wang Ganlin couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if Senior Brother Changge will come this time."
…
In the lobby on the second floor, Wang Huiwen had just stolen the limelight. Even after he had quieted down, he was still the focus of everyone's attention.
Shen Hong was also busy getting to know the dozens of industry leaders brought by Wang Huiwen when the hotel manager came up again.
"Master Shen, come and take a look, someone else is here!"
The people in the audience began to roll their eyes: Are you guys done yet?
Shen Hong was once again filled with curiosity. Who else would come over at this time?
Wang Huiwen saw Shen Hong's attitude and asked, "Master Shen, what's going on? Is someone here to cause trouble?"
Shen Hong said, "I don't know either. Someone did come to cause trouble before, but everything is fine now. I'll go down and take a look first."
Wang Huiwen frowned, "I'll go with you. I want to see who dares to cause trouble!"
Led by Wang Huiwen, more than 20 family heads from the capital also stood up and followed Shen Hong.
Zhou Renguo and Wei Chongqing looked at each other and followed with their men.
It's already this late, and almost everyone who should be here has arrived, so anyone who comes at this time is likely here to cause trouble.
Now that so many bigwigs have gathered in the Jincheng Hotel, they also want to know who has the courage to cause trouble for the Shen family!
Not long after, Shen Hong and his group came downstairs and came face to face with Chen Changge in the lobby on the first floor.
Chen Changge did not come alone. Behind him was Chen Chang. In addition, there were the heads of dozens of small families that the Jiangnan Chen family was divided into, as well as the heads of the main industries under the Chen family's name. Each of them possessed a strong aura. With so many people gathered together, even if they didn't say anything, they could bring great pressure to the people around them.
Shen Hong didn't know Chen Changge, let alone Chen Chang. At this moment, he could only feel the strong pressure from Chen Changge, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Fortunately, he also has people on his side. Wang Huiwen, Zhou Renguo, and Wei Chongqing are all big bosses. There are also many family heads such as Zhao Gu and Liu Li Chen Sun. In terms of momentum, they are comparable to Chen Changge's side.
Shen Hong frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Chen Changge said, "Master Shen, I'm here to celebrate your birthday!"
Shen Hong didn't know Chen Changge, but how could Chen Changge not know Shen Hong?
Since he knew that today was Shen Hong’s birthday, how could he not investigate Shen Hong’s background?
So when I met Shen Hong, I confirmed his identity.
As for the powerful aura released by Shen Hong, he didn't care at all.
In this world, there is no one else who can make Chen Changge give in except his master Shen Qi!
Chen Chang took a step forward and bowed slightly to Shen Hong, "Master Shen, I am Chen Chang, the new master of the Jiangnan Chen family, and this is my grandfather, Chen Changge. We in the Chen family heard about Master Shen's birthday banquet and came all the way here to celebrate!"
Shen Hong was stunned.
Jiangnan Chen family?
When did our Shen family become associated with such a behemoth?
