Lin Yu's arrival was within Gu Chenan's expectations, and he was even looking forward to it somewhat. After all, Lin Yu's constant resentment and jealousy made Gu Chenan chuckle to himself.
However, Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui were caught off guard by Lin Yu's arrival. The two women could hear Gu Chenan's inner voice and knew that he had always felt that the two of them were Lin Yu's concubines.
Hmm... Although Gu Chenan didn't mention this anymore recently, the two women still took it as a thorn in their hearts, afraid that if they got in touch with Lin Yu, Gu Chenan would misunderstand again.
So when Lin Yu appeared, disgust and contempt flashed across the faces of both women at the same time.
And everyone was a little puzzled by Lin Yu's unconventional entrance.
Everyone looked Lin Yu up and down, then looked at each other.
A doubt arose in everyone's minds.
- Who the hell are you hooking up with?
"Hahaha, little brother Lin Yu, you're here!"
As soon as Liu Zhenshan saw Lin Yu, he immediately stood up from his chair and walked over quickly to greet him.
Everyone was a little shocked and curious when they saw this.
Treatment that even Gu didn't get was happening to Lin Yu?
Just what kind of status does this person have?
With such doubts, everyone in the main hall focused their eyes on Lin Yu, this little-known "nobody".
I saw Lin Yu stoop to offer the long sword in his hands to Old Master Liu, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Junior Lin Yu is here to celebrate Old Master Liu's birthday."
Liu Zhenshan took the treasure sword with a smiling face, examined it for a while, then drew the blade.
Sen~
The long sword was unsheathed, and the sword cry arose.
Looking at the cold gleam on the blade, Liu Zhenshan nodded satisfactorily.
"Good, excellent gift! Old man here is very satisfied."
After that, he turned around to introduce everyone:
"Little Brother Lin Yu is my Liu family's benefactor. From now on, if Little Brother Lin Yu has any difficulties, everyone should lend a hand if you can help."
As soon as he said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
He turned out to be the Liu family’s benefactor?
Damn, this person looks ordinary, but his status turns out to be so special!
If you can get along well with him in the future, it means getting along well with Old Master Liu to some extent!
Thinking of this, everyone started greeting Lin Yu.
"Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin is so young yet has become a benefactor of the Liu family. It really makes people shocked."
"Mr. Lin is a talented man. He will surely accomplish great things in the future!"
Feeling the flattering voices coming from all around, Lin Yu felt a little ecstatic inside.
So this is what it feels like to be flattered and fawned upon!
But just as he was complacently glorying in this, he saw Su Qianmo among the crowd.
He was a little curious why Su Qianmo would come to the Liu family, because in his mind, Su Qianmo had little contact with the major families of Donghai.
Even if the Su family wanted to come to the Liu family to celebrate Old Master Liu's birthday, it should have been the Su family patriarch, Su Tianming, who came. But today...
Just as he was thinking so, his eyes caught a glimpse of Gu Chenan standing beside Su Qianmo.
In an instant, his fists clenched tightly, and the hatred in his eyes was bursting to come out.
So that was it, so that was it!
I said why Qianmo would come to the Liu family. So it was you again, Gu Chenan!
It's not enough that you have Qianmo under your control, you even have to bring her to the Liu family?
Do you really think your actions will make the people of Donghai feel that Qianmo is infatuated with you?
Dream on!
Qianmo is my, Lin Yu's woman!
She accepted my flowers, my gift package, and is waiting for me to rescue her from danger as I promised!
Gu Chenan, you...you deserve death!
Not only do you control Qianmo, but you also used sinister schemes and tricks to make master misunderstand me!
I will have my revenge for this!
...
Bystander Gu Chenan was watching everyone flatter Lin Yu, and he felt that their flattering skills were quite similar, saying almost the same few lines to everyone.
But suddenly he felt that Lin Yu, who had been perfectly fine just now, was looking at him with a murderous gaze.
Gu Chenan: ?
[What the hell, I haven't done anything at the moment, have I?]
[Do you have some kind of weird disease that makes you automatically furious whenever you see me?]
[If you're sick go get treated, don't keep looking at me with that silly gaze all the time, got it?]
[The protagonists in other stories are like deities with three heads and six arms, while you directly have one-third - one silly head!]
[If I could really kill you, I would’ve made the horse soldiers beat you until even your mom wouldn't recognize you!]
Gu Chenan angrily gritted his teeth for a bit, then turned his head to avoid Lin Yu's gaze.
"Mr. Lin, have we met before?"
At this moment, a wealthy businessman carefully looked over Lin Yu and asked uncertainly after feeling like he recognized him.
This wealthy businessman was at the end seats of the VIP area during the Ye family martial arts contest. From the moment Lin Yu entered, he felt that Lin Yu looked familiar.
After thinking hard for a while, he suddenly realized that this Lin Yu was the same person who challenged Gu Young Master and got knocked out after snatching the championship title at the Ye family martial arts contest, right?
"Have we...met before?"
When Lin Yu heard this, he panicked directly, thinking that this person had seen him when he was sitting arrogantly in a hijacked taxi and got beaten up by the taxi driver.
If that was really the case, then it would be utterly humiliating!
If everyone knew that the honored guest of the Liu family, the benefactor of Old Master Liu, was actually beaten up by a taxi driver, then he wouldn't have to keep staying in Donghai afterwards.
The wealthy businessman smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Lin has met too many distinguished people and forgotten. I was also at the scene of the Ye family martial arts contest that day."
Hearing this, Lin Yu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, thank goodness it wasn't about that incident...
"Oh, nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Lin Yu quickly smiled.
The crowd who was observing this were interested when they heard about the Ye family martial arts contest. They had heard that the Ye family held an ancient martial arts competition recently.
But only an extremely small number of people paid attention to this matter, so only extremely few people knew that Gu Chenan had won the championship.
"Mr. Lin must have won the championship right?"
"With Mr. Lin's ability to become a benefactor of the Liu family, his strength must be incredibly formidable. The championship of a small competition must have been easy to obtain, right?"
"That's right, that’s what I think too!"
Everyone's flattery made Lin Yu feel a little embarrassed. He gave an awkward laugh but didn't say anything, trying to make everyone think that he had indeed won the championship by not denying it with his silence.
Although this method was obviously unrealistic, it was still better in preserving face than him shaking his head and saying someone else won the championship.
But clearly that wealthy businessman did not give him this chance. He just shook his head with a smile and said, "Eh...the championship winner is actually here as well."
Upon hearing this, everyone was really shocked.
The champion is here too?
Who is it?
Why haven't we heard him speak up?
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
