Most of the people at this table are young people in their early twenties. They usually only hear a few words from their elders. Now they have the opportunity to hear the real secrets of the upper class, so they are naturally excited.
Mother Ling thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know much about this Master Long. I only heard that there was a private auction in Jinghai City a few days ago.
At the time, several bigwigs from Jinghai City, including Lin Hu and Fu Bo, were present. No one outside knew what exactly happened, but ever since the auction, these bigwigs have revered Master Long as a deity.
The boys and girls at the table were full of envy after hearing this. What kind of terrifying power does Master Long have that can make a big shot like Fu Bo worship him like a god?
Gao Qihang clenched his fists tightly and boasted under the influence of alcohol: "I, Gao Qihang, will become a figure like Master Long in this life!"
"Right! A real man was born in this world, how can he be depressed and live under someone else's thumb for long?"
"Well said! A true man born in troubled times should wield a three-foot sword and accomplish unparalleled feats!"
Long Yi took a sip of the wine in the glass and looked at the group of middle school students who were speaking bold words under the influence of alcohol with a playful look.
I wonder what Gao Qihang’s expression would be like if he knew that the Master Long he was talking about was Long Yi.
Ling Hai spoke slowly, "Although I'm in Shuntian, Master Long's reputation has been so loud recently that I've heard of him."
The table suddenly became quiet, and all the young men looked at Ling Hai expectantly, hoping to hear the real secret from this big boss of Shuntian City.
"Lin Hu, the underground emperor of Jinghai City, do you know his background?" Ling Hai asked.
"Uncle Ling, I know." Gao Qihang quickly took over the conversation, fearing that he would miss the opportunity to show off his knowledge.
"Lin Hu controls Jinghai City's black market and practically monopolizes Jinghai City's high-end collectibles and treasures. The assets of his Lin Group exceed 6 billion, making him a truly powerful figure in Jinghai City."
"Well, that's very detailed." Ling Hai looked at Gao Qihang with appreciation.
After receiving Ling Hai's praise, Gao Qihang was so proud that his tail was about to rise to the sky. He glanced at Long Yi with great disdain.
Long Yi didn't bother to pay attention to this guy's provocation and just ate the food that Ling Bingqian put into his bowl.
Ling Hai continued, "Just a week ago, Lin Hu secretly obtained the support of the two Xuanming Elders and set up a trap in Jinghai City to defraud his mortal enemy, Qi Lao Si, of his money.
Unexpectedly, Master Long, the master eye expert beside Qi Lao Si at the time, not only saw through the deception, but also sent down thunder from the sky to shatter the dantian of Master Yang, one of the two Xuanming elders, and all his cultivation was destroyed.
In the end, Lin Hu didn't dare to say a word, and obediently paid Master Long 2 billion, then ran away with his tail between his legs. It can be said that he stole the chicken but lost the rice.
Everyone's pupils suddenly shrank. "Two billion! This amount of money can build a third-rate family in Jinghai."
You should know that the total assets of the Lin Group are only 6 billion. Master Long's words actually caused the market value of the leading enterprise in Jinghai City to shrink by one third. It is really true that every word is worth a thousand gold.
"If I could marry a rare talent like Master Long, I would have endless wealth and glory for the rest of my life," a beautiful girl said with longing.
Her best friend couldn't help but joke, "With such terrifying strength, Master Long must be at least seventy or eighty years old. How could he even think of getting married?"
The girl stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Oh, I'm just yearning for it. Besides, if a man like Master Long really wants to marry a wife and concubines, it won't be my turn."
Huang Yue saw that everyone at the table nodded in praise of the mysterious Master Long, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
"How ironic! You were just gloating over Long Yi's misfortune, wanting to see him make a fool of himself, but you didn't realize that he was the Master Long you all said was as great as a god."
"Even Ling Bingqian doesn't know this secret, so I must seize this opportunity. I don't ask for Master Long's bedside companion, but winning his favor will be the blessing of the goddess of luck."
She kept thinking in her heart, and the look she gave Long Yi became more admiring and passionate.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, the birthday party ended at around twelve o'clock. During this time, Long Yi just chatted with Ling Bingqian for a few minutes.
After all, he had previously come into contact with real bigwigs in major provincial capitals, and he had personally participated in most of the secrets mentioned by these young people. How could he be interested in joining in such childish and boring topics?
However, in Ling Hai's view, all this was a manifestation of Long Yi's stage fright and lack of confidence. Thinking that his daughter was actually together with such a mediocre man, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Long Yi originally wanted to leave Lingxiao Pavilion, but he couldn't resist Ling Bingqian's nagging and finally chose to stay overnight.
After the guests had left, Ling Hai beckoned his men over and instructed them, "Go and find out the identity of the young man who just sat next to Bing Qian. Find out the details."
"Yes, Master Hai!"
......
The next morning, Long Yi got up early, said goodbye to Ling Bingqian on the phone, and walked out of the gate of Lingxiao Pavilion.
He was walking on the road down the mountain when suddenly several Toyota Coasters stopped beside him and a burly man with a fierce look on his face got out of the passenger seat:
"Mr. Long, Mr. Hai wants to see you. Please get in the car and go with us."
Long Yi narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. Since he was determined to be with Ling Bingqian, he would have to get over the hurdle of her biological father sooner or later.
"Okay, take me there."
After getting on the car, it drove rapidly along the winding road towards the top of Lingxiao Mountain.
On the edge of a misty cliff, Ling Hai stood with his hands behind his back, his expensive suit rustling in the wind. Beside him stood the old man from yesterday, and behind him stood a burly man standing guard every two meters.
"Uncle Ling, you're looking for me about Bingqian, right?"
Long Yi slowly walked to Ling Hai's side, his momentum not inferior to Ling Hai at all.
Ling Hai's face was full of indifference, in stark contrast to his approachable demeanor yesterday. His every move exuded the majesty of a superior. This was the true face of the big boss who had absolute power in Shuntian.
He did not respond to Long Yi's question, but asked, "What is the mountain you are standing on?"
"It's the towering Lingxiao Mountain." Long Yi replied calmly.
"Yes, Lingxiao Mountain reaches straight into the sky. Standing on the top of the mountain gives people the illusion of overlooking all the other mountains, as if they are holding all the power and authority in the world." Ling Hai couldn't help but sigh, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
"But illusions are illusions after all. Lingxiao Mountain may be the highest mountain in Jinghai City, but when looking at the four provinces of the Central Plains, it can only barely rank in the top ten. If you look at it from a longer-term perspective, Lingxiao Mountain is just a small mound of earth in the entire Dragon Country."
Long Yi didn't take it seriously and asked, "Uncle Ling, what exactly do you want to express?"
"This kid is incorrigible!" Ling Hai snorted coldly, staring at Long Yi with unfriendly eyes.
