Chapter 608: Who is the true dragon

~8 min read 1,491 words

The third young master of the Kong family suddenly opened his mouth to make trouble, which made Old Master Song feel quite difficult.

He knew that the Song family's strength was not as good as the Yan Jing Kong family, so he was very careful and polite everywhere, but being polite was just out of politeness, not really wanting to take this opportunity to climb up to the Kong family.

The old master had seen everything after all his life, so he could see at a glance what the purpose of the Kong family's third young master coming today was.

Regardless of how the Kong family wanted to cooperate with the Song family, this Kong family's third young master must have ideas about his granddaughter Song Wanting.

If it were in the past, if the Kong family really wanted to marry the Song family, he would have been excited.

But now he really has no interest in them.

Because in Old Master Song's eyes, the best candidate for his granddaughter's husband is Master Ye Chen, who is not showing his mountains and dew beside him.

If Master Ye Chen could become his granddaughter's husband, he wouldn't be willing to change even if he were given the world's richest man.

And what's even rarer is that his granddaughter is also deeply in love with Master Ye.

If it weren't for Master Ye's Rejuvenation Pill, he would have been like a dead tree, and how could he have such a strong body now?

So in Old Master Song's eyes, no one in this world can compare to Ye Chen.

Because Ye Chen can bring him precious life.

Song Tianming, who was beside him, saw this and was afraid that his father would offend the Kong family's young master, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Oh, thank you so much, Young Master Kong. This gift is so precious, I think Wanting must like it very much. However, this child has a relatively dull personality and doesn't know how to speak, so I, as the eldest uncle, will accept this gift for her, and also thank Young Master Kong on her behalf!"

Song Wanting still wanted to speak, but Old Master Song gave her a wink beside her.

Old Master Song whispered in her ear, "Wanting, don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Let's accept it for now, and return it

Seeing her grandfather say this, Song Wanting had no choice but to nod.

Afterward, the Third Young Master of the Kong family, accompanied by Song Tianming and his son Song Rongyu, entered the banquet hall to take his seat.

The Third Young Master of the Kong family was arrogant and looked down on everyone, only greeting Chen Zekai: "Mr. Chen, shall we sit together?"

Chen Zekai subconsciously wanted to look at Ye Chen, but he remembered that Ye Chen did not want to expose his identity, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to have too much public interaction with him.

Just as he was about to refuse the Third Young Master of the Kong family, Old Master Song, standing to the side, said to Ye Chen, "Master Ye, let's sit together!"

There were six banquet tables in the hall, but one of them was the guest-of-honor table.

The guest-of-honor table, as the name implies, is for the host to entertain the most distinguished guests.

Old Master Song, along with Song Tianming, Song Rongyu, and Song Wanting, sat at the ten-seat guest-of-honor table.

The remaining six seats were to be ranked according to the status of everyone present.

Song Tianming and his son Song Rongyu naturally invited the Third Young Master of the Kong family to take a seat, and Old Master Song invited Ye Chen to sit at this table as well.

The remaining four seats were given to Chen Zekai, Wang Dongxue, Li Tailai, and Qin Gang.

Although Wang Zhenggang's status was also not bad, it was slightly inferior to Qin Gang's, so he could not sit at the guest-of-honor table.

Little Chili, Qin Aoxue, although she also wanted to follow her father and sit at the same table as Master Ye Chen.

But because the seats were already full, she could only sit with Chen Xiaozhao.

Before the banquet began, the Old Master stood up first and gave a speech of thanks.

When mentioning the guests present in his speech, Old Master Song started by saying, "Today, I am very grateful to Master Ye for honoring us with his presence at my granddaughter's birthday banquet!"

As soon as Old Master Song said this, the expression of the Third Young Master of the Kong family, sitting at the guest-of-honor table, immediately darkened.

What the hell?

Is this old man of the Song family so unappreciative? He personally graced them with his presence to attend her granddaughter's birthday banquet, and he actually didn't put him at the top of the list of thanks?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen, who was at the same table.

This kid looked plain and unremarkable; he had no idea why the old man of the Song family was so polite to him.

After Old Master Song finished thanking Ye Chen, he then thanked the Third Young Master of the Kong family.

Seeing that he had been upstaged by a nobody like Ye Chen, the Third Young Master of the Kong family was furious.

Just then, Old Master Song finished his speech and let Song Wanting go up to express her thanks as well.

The dignified and elegant Song Wanting, like Old Master Song, thanked Ye Chen first when expressing her gratitude to the guests.

Her expressive eyes looked at Ye Chen with deep affection, and she said earnestly, "I am very grateful to Master Ye for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend my birthday banquet; it makes me feel flattered."

After thanking Ye Chen, Song Wanting added, "Besides thanking Master Ye, I also want to thank all the friends present today. Thank you all for coming."

After speaking, Song Wanting bowed to everyone.

The Third Young Master of the Kong family was so angry his nose was almost crooked.

Although Old Master Song had ranked him second, he had at least thanked him by name for gracing them with his presence.

But when it came to Song Wanting, she didn't even mention his name, lumping him in with everyone else; it made him incredibly angry.

At this moment, he whispered to Song Rongyu beside him, "What is that Ye Chen's background?"

Song Rongyu had always been very unhappy with Ye Chen, but he didn't dare slight him. Seeing that the Third Young Master of the Kong family seemed dissatisfied with Ye Chen, he pushed the boat with the current and said, "This Ye Chen is a rather famous live-in son-in-law in our Jin Ling, and also a fairly well-known feng shui master. He seems to know a bit of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so people call him Master Ye."

After hearing this, the Third Young Master of the Kong family curled his lip, "What kind of bullshit Master Ye? Knowing a bit of feng shui and a bit of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he dares to call himself a master? In Yan Jing, a hack like this would have been killed countless times by now."

Song Rongyu hurriedly said, "Third Young Master is right. Our Jin Ling is just a small place, but don't look at it as small; the temple is small but the evil winds are strong, the water is shallow but there are many turtles—anyone in this pond dares to claim to be a true dragon."

"Claim to be a true dragon?" The Third Young Master of the Kong family snorted coldly, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Does this Ye Chen claim to be a true dragon?"

Song Rongyu whispered, "I don't know if he claims it himself, but in the Jin Ling underworld, they all call him the True Dragon on Earth, Master Ye."

The Third Young Master of the Kong family sneered, "He is the True Dragon on Earth? I, Kong Delong, am also a dragon, and a dragon of the Yan Jing Kong family at that. Today, I want to see who exactly is the true dragon on earth!"

Song Rongyu hurriedly flattered him, "If Ye Chen really compares to you, he is truly far inferior; I'm afraid he doesn't even compare to a single hair of yours."

"That goes without saying." The Third Young Master of the Kong family held his nose high and glanced at Ye Chen, sneering in his heart: "A stinking nobody from a small place dares to steal my spotlight. Today, this young master is a fierce dragon crossing the river; I'll start by taking you down, and let these old turtles in Jin Ling open their eyes and know who the real True Dragon on Earth is!"
