Chapter 512: I Will Marry Cheng Yuan or No One

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: I Will Marry Cheng Yuan or No One

An honored guest?

The Cloud Palace on the top floor?

Aside from Chang Lanxin, who found it perfectly normal, everyone else was dumbfounded, especially Liu Ruyan and He Zhixuan.

The two women stared at each other, completely baffled as to what was going on.

He Zhixuan lowered her voice and asked, "Ruyan, didn’t you say Cheng Yuan beat up Young Master He? Why is Young Master He being so polite to Cheng Yuan?"

"I... I don’t know either."

Nearby, Lin Dahu was really in hot water now!

’What the hell?’

’This kid is an honored guest who can enter the Cloud Palace?’

The Cloud Palace was the absolute pinnacle of the entire White Palace, the place where Zhou Shilong received his most distinguished guests.

’This kid is a most distinguished guest?’

’What have I just done?’

’I actually ordered the guards to grab their weapons and seize him!’

’Luckily, Shaofeng arrived in time, or I would have made a huge mistake!’

’It’s all that damn Pei Yuanbin’s fault for misleading me!’

Cheng Yuan gave Lin Dahu a cool glance and said flatly, "I don’t think I’ll be going to the Cloud Palace. That Manager Lin just tried to throw me out."

SWISH!

Lin Dahu’s face went deathly pale. He hurried forward and bowed deeply to Cheng Yuan.

"Mr. Cheng, I was just misled by Pei Yuanbin, that’s why I offended you! Please, don’t lower yourself to my level! Please, just let me go like I’m a fart in the wind! I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!!"

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly and said nothing.

Lin Shaofeng sighed softly. He knew Lin Dahu was probably a lost cause.

"Lin Dahu! You’ve got some nerve, offending Mr. Cheng! You’re fired from your manager position! Go back home and start farming!"

Lin Dahu was frantic. He had worked so hard to leave the countryside and come to the big city; he didn’t want to go back in disgrace!

Lin Dahu pleaded, "Shaofeng, we’re close relatives! We’re practically immediate family! You can’t do this to me! Give me one more chance!"

"Even if you were my own grandfather, you’d be going home to farm today! Men! Seize Lin Dahu for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The guards rushed forward and instantly subdued Lin Dahu.

Unwilling to be sent home to farm, Lin Dahu shouted, "Shaofeng, has this kid tricked you? He’s just an ex-convict, and his family is dirt poor! He’s not qualified to be your guest of honor!"

Liu Ruyan and He Zhixuan also looked at Lin Shaofeng with confusion.

They didn’t understand why Lin Shaofeng was treating Cheng Yuan with such courtesy.

"Do I, Lin Shaofeng, need to explain my actions to you? Throw him out immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, Lin Dahu was thrown out.

Lin Shaofeng turned to Cheng Yuan with a fawning expression. "Mr. Cheng, can we go to the Cloud Palace now?"

Sensing Lin Shaofeng’s sincerity, the corners of Cheng Yuan’s mouth curved up slightly. "Then let’s go take a look."

Cheng Yuan looked at He Zhixuan apologetically. "Senior Sister, I’m going to check out the Cloud Palace. I’ll see you in a bit."

He Zhixuan nodded instinctively. Her mind was filled with questions. She simply couldn’t understand why Lin Shaofeng was treating Cheng Yuan with such courtesy.

After Cheng Yuan and Lin Shaofeng left, He Zhixuan turned to Liu Ruyan. "Ruyan, do you still stand by your previous opinion? Do you still think Cheng Yuan isn’t a good match, and that only Pei Yuanbin is?"

"Well..."

Liu Ruyan fell silent. She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to!

"Maybe... I misjudged him this time? Maybe there’s more to Cheng Yuan than meets the eye? If he can prove his strength and make you happy, I won’t oppose you two anymore."

Nearby, Chang Lanxin grew a little nervous. ’I can’t let Ruyan and Zhixuan find out the truth about Cheng Yuan!’

’Especially Ruyan!’

’If Ruyan knew that even Brother Long has to bow and greet Cheng Yuan, she’d probably do everything in her power to push Zhixuan and Cheng Yuan together.’

’Then I wouldn’t have a chance!’

Chang Lanxin cleared her throat and said lightly, "Zhixuan, you’re a medical student. How can you not know about such a huge event in the medical world?"

He Zhixuan asked curiously, "What huge event?"

Chang Lanxin rolled her eyes in exasperation. "What else could it be? The battle between Divine Doctor Jiang and the Korean Acupuncture Saint Park Hao, of course!"

He Zhixuan asked, confused, "Lanxin, why bring that up all of a sudden? It has nothing to do with Cheng Yuan..."

As she said this, He Zhixuan suddenly froze. A scene from the airplane flashed through her mind.

Back then, Cheng Yuan had said he was invited by Divine Doctor Xue to assist in the battle, that he was going to take Divine Doctor Jiang’s place to compete in medical skills against the Korean Acupuncture Saint Park Hao.

’No way... ’

’Was Cheng Yuan really invited by Divine Doctor Xue to help?’

"Lanxin, don’t tell me Cheng Yuan was the one who took Divine Doctor Jiang’s place in the battle!"

"That’s right. See for yourself."

Chang Lanxin pulled up a video clip from the internet. ’In any case, this information couldn’t be hidden. It was already a trending topic, and Cheng Yuan would soon be famous throughout the Dragon Country!’

’Zhixuan and Ruyan would see it sooner or later anyway.’

He Zhixuan and Liu Ruyan leaned in, their faces showing strange expressions.

Liu Ruyan suddenly seemed to realize something and shook her head slightly. "I thought Cheng Yuan had some powerful background, but it turns out he earned Brother Long’s respect with his medical skills. I heard Brother Long has a... secret ailment. He has several concubines, but only one illegitimate son, Young Master Lin..."

A slight smile touched Chang Lanxin’s lips. ’I knew Ruyan would jump to the wrong conclusion.’

He Zhixuan, however, didn’t pay Liu Ruyan’s words any mind. She smiled wryly, "So what Cheng Yuan said was all true, and I didn’t believe him!"

Liu Ruyan immediately became guarded. "It’s not all true. At the very least, his promise about the invitation wasn’t fulfilled! So what if he knows a little medicine? The most he can be is a doctor; he can’t help you escape the He Family’s pressure! Only President Pei can stand up to the He Family! He’s the right match for you!"

He Zhixuan didn’t want to argue with Liu Ruyan. She said coolly, "Cheng Yuan said he would give me an explanation about the invitation, and I’m starting to believe him now! Ruyan, you’re biased against doctors, so I won’t argue with you. But I won’t change my mind! In this life, I will marry no one but Cheng Yuan!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

Lin Shaofeng led Cheng Yuan out of the banquet hall. He took a phone call and then said respectfully, "Grandmaster, my father and the Young Master have arrived. Should we wait for them?"

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. "We can."

After about a minute, with a DING, the elevator doors slid open.

Cheng Yuan saw Zhou Shilong and a dashingly handsome young man standing inside the elevator.

The young man bore a strong resemblance to Duan Yanming; this must be the Heir of Dali, Duan Lang.

Cheng Yuan and Duan Lang looked at each other with intrigued expressions.

Duan Lang had never understood why his old man wanted to become sworn brothers with a young man even younger than himself.

’Is there someone out there with more talent than me, Duan Lang?’

Upon discovering that Cheng Yuan was only a Martial King, Duan Lang couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. ’Father must have misjudged him.’

Zhou Tianlong didn’t notice what was on Duan Lang’s mind and very respectfully made the introductions for both parties.

"Young Master, this is Third Martial Uncle. Third Martial Uncle, this is the Young Master."

Duan Lang showed Cheng Yuan no respect at all, directly issuing a challenge.

"My father holds Third Uncle in high esteem, saying you are the leader of the younger generation! A being destined to attain the Way in the future! This unworthy nephew also wishes to attain the Way! I have come specifically to ask for a few pointers from Third Uncle! I wonder if Third Uncle would be willing to grant me this honor?"
