CHAPTER 753: CHAPTER 380: THE MYSTERIOUS SONG FAMILY

With Xu Jiangyan’s status, being so cautious in front of a young man would normally raise eyebrows, yet neither of the two present found it strange.

Even though Lin Beichen was undoubtedly younger than Xu Jiangyan, age was never the most important factor in the face of status.

In terms of both cultivation and status, Xu Jiangyan could only look up to Lin Beichen.

"Come in."

Lin Beichen said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiangyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, approached respectfully, and observed Lin Beichen cautiously.

After their encounter on the lake, he had specifically investigated Lin Beichen’s background.

Xu Hongzhu was just an ordinary woman, unaware of the existence of the cultivation realm or the strength of cultivators.

But Xu Jiangyan, who was half a step into the Death Gate, knew the depths of it.

After a thorough investigation, Xu Jiangyan was almost scared to death.

He knew Lin Beichen was strong, but he hadn’t expected him to be ten times, a hundred times stronger than he had imagined.

In the battle at Jiangnan Water Village, Qin Wenwu was defeated and killed.

In the battle against international elite assassins, dozens of top-tier assassins were dead in one night, and this wasn’t even the most shocking part.

Even though each of these assassins was formidable enough to make Xu Jiangyan’s scalp tingle, what truly shocked him was the death of the Reaper Cobra.

The first person to open the Celestial Gate, suspected of being a super strong who may enter the Mystic Sect.

Including the unnamed old man in the riverside battle, the number of top experts who had died at Lin Beichen’s hands was likely no less than four or five.

His life’s goal was merely to step into the Death Gate, yet alone, Lin Beichen had killed multiple Death Gate experts.

How could he accept such a situation?

After calming down, the more Xu Jiangyan thought about it, the more terrified he became. After a few days of rest, he felt he had to meet Lin Beichen, so he braved himself to come.

"Mr. Lin, I specially prepared a meal to apologize to the senior."

Xu Jiangyan said cautiously.

"Previously, I was in seclusion breaking through, and my daughter, being one without cultivation talent, inevitably offended you by not recognizing your status. Fortunately, you did not bother with her or take her life, for which I am deeply grateful."

"Let’s skip the pleasantries. Since you’re standing here, it means you already know your daughter’s situation."

Lin Beichen said indifferently.

Lin Beichen’s straightforwardness made Xu Jiangyan’s face immensely awkward.

He thought Lin Beichen was referring to Xu Hongzhu’s lack of cultivation talent, but didn’t realize Lin Beichen was talking about the curse imposed on her.

Both didn’t explicitly say it, yet each thought the other knew, causing mutual misunderstanding without either knowing it.

"I might give you some face."

Lin Beichen thought for a moment and said.

Cultivation matters weren’t urgent; Lin Beichen was currently most concerned with the Bright Pearl Mouth Array.

Xu Jiangyan’s car today was very low-key, without a driver or convoy, and even the license plate belonged to someone else.

When Lin Beichen got into the car, he happened to see Yuan Yanan.

Yuan Yanan glanced at Lin Beichen without much surprise.

Being Bai Yunfei’s friend, with their close relationship, it was only natural for Bai Yunfei to gift Lin Beichen a luxurious car.

However, her face changed when she saw the driver next to Lin Beichen.

"That person... is he Fifth Master Xu?"

In Huadu, few made a name by living off the streets, and Fifth Master Xu was definitely one of them.

Many prominent figures had to give face to Fifth Master Xu.

As someone who grew up in this circle, Yuan Yanan had seen Fifth Master Xu once in her youth and was deeply impressed by the pomp, so she recognized him at a glance.

It should be known that with Fifth Master Xu’s status, ordinary wealthy people wouldn’t even qualify to speak to him.

Even the big shots of the Management Association would have to be cautious when meeting Fifth Master Xu.

"Hongzhu, come over here quickly, let me reintroduce you. This is the world-renowned Mr. Lin."

Xu Jiangyan said with a smile.

Xu Hongzhu looked at Lin Beichen with a complex expression.

Since Lin Beichen imposed the curse on her, seeing Lin Beichen was like meeting a natural enemy, always filling her with fear and trepidation.

She feared Lin Beichen’s threats with the curse, and even more feared that Lin Beichen would, without reason, activate the curse to torment her just because he disliked her.

What she never anticipated, despite all her precautions, was that her father would bring Lin Beichen to the manor!

"This is my good-for-nothing godson, Fifth Master Xu, and over here..."

Xu Jiangyan excitedly introduced everyone around him, oblivious to Xu Hongzhu’s stiff expression.

Xu Jiangyan wasn’t introducing everyone to Lin Beichen to make him acquainted with them, but to show the others that this Mr. Lin was not someone to be provoked.

Among the crowd, one person gazed at Lin Beichen with a complex expression.

This person was Xu Jiangyan’s godson.

He had thought that when his godfather came out of seclusion, he would surely suppress Lin Beichen’s arrogance, but he hadn’t expected even his godfather to be no match for Lin Beichen.

As a member of the Xu Family, even if he didn’t have great ambitions, he had great pride.

In Huadu, he believed the Xu Family was the top noble house.

No one should tread on the Xu Family.

Yet, this was something he never dared to say aloud.
