Permanent Martial Arts

Delta City, Huatian Hotel!

Today was a big day. The eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Qiji, was going to marry the daughter of the Bai family, Bai Jing. The Zhang family and the Bai family could both be considered prestigious families in Delta.

The Zhang family was not only a business family, but also a martial family! However, in recent years, the descendants of the family did not have much talent in martial arts, so the family put more emphasis on business.

However, relying on some surviving inhuman experts of the Zhang family, the Zhang family's status in Delta City was still significant.

The Bai family, on the other hand, was a little special. Although the Bai family was not a martial family, and there were no powerful martial artists in the family, the Bai family had a close relationship with the military and had many business dealings with them. Even those families with inhuman experts would never dare to underestimate the Bai family.

However, although the two major families seemed to have joined forces to make a good story, in reality, both the Bai family and the Zhang family were full of complaints about this marriage alliance.

Only Old Master Bai and Old Master Zhang's swift and decisive action prevented the Bai and Zhang families from humiliating themselves. The wedding was held as agreed.

However, undercurrents were surging in the Bai and Zhang families, and many family members were not satisfied.

At this moment, at a table, a young man who looked somewhat similar to Zhang Qiji was drinking red wine by himself. However, his gaze was slightly cold as he looked at Zhang Qiji.

"Third Young Master, Zhang Qiji is in big trouble this time. Heh, his insistence on marrying Bai Jing has already displeased some elders in the family." A middle-aged man in a suit beside a young man said sinisterly.

"So what? He, Zhang Qiji, is still the young master of the Zhang family. He's still the next president of the corporation, and in charge of the Zhang family!"

"Heh, he won't be smug for much longer. His insistence on marrying Bai Jing has made even many people in the Bai family unhappy with him now. Only his father supports him, but the Zhang family doesn't belong to only him and his father! I heard that after the wedding, the Zhang family is preparing to hold a conference to elect the president of the corporation. Heh, at that time, Third Young Master's chance will come."

At this point, a smile appeared on Third Young Master's cold face.

He watched as Zhang Qiji was filled with happiness and contentment on the stage. However, this might also be Zhang Qiji's last moment of joy. Before long, he and his father would both pay the price!

Third Young Master was certain of it! He had already received the news that the Zhang family had decided to make a move on Zhang Qiji and his father. Zhang Qiji and his father had disregarded the interests of the Zhang family by insisting on the marriage with Bai Jing.

Even if that Legate was magnanimous and did not blame the Zhang family, the entire Delta City knew about this matter.

There were some things that could have an impact without words or obvious actions. The Zhang family could have avoided such a risk, but because Zhang Qiji and his father insisted on marriage with the Bai family, the Zhang family was placed in an awkward situation.

Besides the Zhang family, the Bai family was also very displeased.

"Why did Bai Jing fall for a profligate playboy like Zhang Qiji? Compared to the Legate, Zhang Qiji is nothing. He's just a profligate son who relies on his parents and his family."

"Alas, I really don't understand why Old Master is so stubborn. What's so good about this Zhang Qiji?"

"That's right. Zhang Qiji may be able to charm Bai Jing, but Old Master Zhang is a shrewd man. He couldn't have been fooled by Zhang Qiji too, right? Why is Old Master Zhang so protective of Zhang Qiji too?"

"I think Old Master is getting on in years and has gotten confused. Although Old Master built the Bai family from nothing, it's such a huge business. Even if the rest of us in the family can't claim the credit, we still did our share of hard work. Old Master can't be so willful."

"That's right. Originally, our Bai family could have advanced in social standing through the Legate, but because of the Old Master and Bai Jing's stubbornness, we missed this opportunity. There won't be a next time. Moreover, the Bai family has become a laughingstock in Delta."

The Bai family did not like Zhang Qiji, and was full of complaints about the Old Master. However, unlike the Zhang family, the Bai family was built from scratch by Old Master Bai, step by step.

Hence, Old Master Bai had the topmost authority in the Bai family. The Bai family only complained a little in private, but could not change Old Master Bai's decision.

Old Master Bai was laughing with Zhang Qiji's father. They seemed to be chatting about something and were very happy. However, the atmosphere at the other tables in the hotel was a little strange, no matter how one looked at it.

This was especially the case for the Bai family and the Zhang family. They could not stand each other, and all of them had gloomy expressions. The entire wedding atmosphere was really a little awkward.

Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing had yet to attend the wedding. Both of them were outside welcoming guests, and occasionally checking the situation in the hotel. The two of them could naturally sense that the atmosphere in the hotel was a little off, but there was nothing they could do.

"Qiji, will that person come today?" Bai Jing asked Zhang Qiji softly.

Of course Zhang Qiji knew who Bai Jing was referring to. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. Maybe he's very busy…"

Zhang Qiji was not confident either. He was just an ordinary student of the Myriad Academy. Even if he had any friendship with Lin Feng in the past, it was just a wedding. Would Lin Feng, a prestigious Sage, personally attend it?

More and more guests headed to the hotel. Suddenly, a luxurious convoy appeared in front of the hotel. Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing's expressions changed slightly when they saw a man get out of the car.

"Why is he here?" Zhang Qiji clenched his fists tightly, his expression somewhat dark.

Bai Jing had no idea why the Legate was here. The Bai family didn't invite the Legate, did they?

"Zhang Qiji, Bai Jing, congratulations."

The Legate did not feel awkward at all. He handed over the gift and congratulated the two of them.

No matter how displeased they were, Zhang Qiji and Bai Jing could only smile and return the greeting.

At this moment, the third young master of the Zhang family walked out of the hall. When he saw the Legate, he said with a smile, "Lord Legate is here. Please come in!"

The Legate nodded and walked into the hall.

"Third Cousin, what's going on?" Zhang Qiji asked with a cold expression.

The corners of Third Young Master's lips curled into a smile. He said casually, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. I was the one who invited the Legate in the name of the Zhang family. The Zhang family can be considered a prestigious family in Delta. How can we not invite the Legate? Where would that put the Zhang family?"

"You…"

Zhang Qiji's face was flushed, but Third Young Master did not bother to argue with him at all. He turned around and walked into the hotel.

"Third Cousin must have done it on purpose!"

Zhang Qiji was not stupid. He knew that his third cousin must have done it intentionally. In fact, this was not just his third cousin's intention, but also the intention of certain people in the Zhang family.

This wedding was destined to be a fuse in the Zhang family's internal power struggle.

"Bai Jing, I'm really sorry. What should have been a proper wedding turned out like this because of me."

Zhang Qiji felt very guilty.

"It's okay. This is our wedding. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Bai Jing was very understanding towards Zhang Qiji. This was how big families were. They competed for power internally. Even in the Bai family, while Old Master Bai's words carried the most weight, he couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction of others.

As the Legate entered the hotel, the atmosphere in the entire hotel suddenly became extremely strange.

Old Master Bai and Zhang Qiji's father's expressions were a little dark, especially Zhang Qiji's father. Seeing that the person behind the Legate was the Third Young Master of the Zhang family, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Old Master, I'm really sorry. Some internal matters in the Zhang family have not been handled properly, and it ended up like this." Zhang Qiji's father apologized to Old Master Bai.

Old Master Bai said calmly, "It's fine. If some people want to jump around, let them. Moreover, the Zhang and Bai families have extraordinary status in Delta. The Legate should come too."

But no matter what, it was the Zhang family's fault this time, casting a shadow over this wedding.

The atmosphere in the hotel was a little strange with the arrival of the Legate. Some people were already murmuring. The matter between the Legate and Bai Jing had already spread like wildfire. Initially, some people did not believe it, but now that the Legate had arrived, they had no choice but to believe it.

Such gossip was already a form of harm to the Zhang family and the Bai family.

Zhang Qiji and his father, in particular, felt even more humiliated. However, since the Legate was already here, it's not like they could just kick him out.

For a moment, Zhang Qiji and his father were furious, but had nowhere to express it.

The Third Young Master of the Zhang family watched apathetically from the sidelines. He looked at the strange atmosphere in the hotel and knew that this was the right move.

Even if the Legate did not say anything, as long as the Legate came, after this wedding, Zhang Qiji and his father would definitely become the laughingstock of the entire Delta City.

At that time, what right would Zhang Qiji and his father have to take charge of the Zhang Corporation?

"Zhang Qiji, oh Zhang Qiji, you've always been a profligate heir. You relied on your father to marry the daughter of the Bai family. Do you really think you can hold on to your position? How naive! Let's see what you can do this time. After the wedding, you'll be the laughingstock of the entire Delta City. How can the Zhang family dare to hand the corporation over to you?"

The Third Young Master of the Zhang family had planned for so long just to embarrass Zhang Qiji and his son today.

From the looks of it, everything was going smoothly. Zhang Qiji and his father would not be pleased for long.

At this moment, no matter what method they used, no matter who came, it would be useless. Zhang Qiji and his son were fated to become the laughingstock of the entire city.

Those who supported the Third Young Master of the Zhang family were naturally very excited. After today, the Zhang family would undergo a major upheaval!

…

"This is Huatian Hotel."

In the airship, Lin Feng could already see the Huatian Hotel in the distance. There was even a couple welcoming the guests below.

"It's really Zhang Qiji. He's changed quite a bit. He's much more mature now…"

Lin Feng also saw Zhang Qiji. He had changed greatly from his juvenile demeanor back then.

"In terms of change, who can change as much as you?"

Qu Chen held Lin Feng's hand and said with a smile. In terms of change, no one had changed as much as Lin Feng. It had only been a year or two since he's gone from an ordinary martial artist to a Sage.

This was simply a legend!

Swoosh.

The airship stopped steadily in the sky above the Huatian Hotel and slowly landed on the ground in front of the hotel. Immediately, everyone was attracted by the dazzling private airship.
