Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 287: Thank You Banquet

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Thank You Banquet

Yang Family Villa.

Yang Tian, observing Chen Fan’s eyes brimming with golden light, asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, could it be that this jade gourd is actually a Magic Artifact?"

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, saying, "This object is called the Sword Nurturing Gourd, a Magic Artifact used by Sword Immortals in Ancient Times. However, this Sword Nurturing Gourd has not been opened for hundreds of years; due to the lack of Spiritual Power, it’s no longer able to open. It requires some methods to restore it."

"Therefore, I am also not clear about how many Flying Swords are being nurtured inside this Sword Nurturing Gourd, nor do I have any idea how many years those Flying Swords have been nurtured."

Yang Tian and the Yang Family Members were all wide-eyed, never having imagined that this heirloom of their Yang Family would actually be a Magic Artifact used by Sword Immortals from Ancient Times.

Yang Tian asked, "Mr. Chen, what kind of Might can this gourd unleash then?"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Well, taking the simplest application, once the Flying Swords inside the Sword Nurturing Gourd are released, they can decapitate an enemy thousands of miles away."

Yang Tian’s eyes widened, "That powerful!"

Chen Fan smiled faintly, "Just kidding with you. In any case, it is indeed a Magic Artifact."

Yang Tian and the Yang Family Members then breathed a sigh of relief.

The beautiful lady laughed and said, "Mr. Chen really knows how to joke. Although it’s true that there are many things in this world that defy common sense, something like Sword Immortals, how could they possibly exist."

Chen Fan said no more; he knew that, for ordinary people, the matters of the Cultivation World were completely beyond their understanding.

People naturally would not believe in things they did not understand, which is why he added that he was just teasing them.

He stored the Sword Nurturing Gourd inside the Heavenly Creation Pearl, planning to research methods to open it after returning home.

Yang Tian was originally staring at the gourd in Chen Fan’s hand, but in the blink of an eye, the gourd had vanished without a trace.

He thought he was seeing things, and rubbed his eyes forcefully, only to find that the gourd was indeed gone.

He had not noticed Chen Fan putting away the gourd, and was greatly astonished.

"Mr. Chen’s abilities must reach the heavens; perhaps he moved too quickly, and I didn’t see it clearly," Yang Tian muttered to himself, without overthinking it.

Then he smiled and said to Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, to express our gratitude, I plan to host a thank-you banquet tonight. Why don’t you stay for the evening?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "That’s fine, but my mom and my friend are also in Tianhe City."

Yang Tian eagerly said, "Well that’s great, I’ll send someone right away to bring them over together, and I’ll arrange the best accommodations for you tonight."

Chen Fan said, "There’s no need to pick them up; I’ll go find them now, take a walk around Tianhe City, and bring them over in the evening."

Yang Tian nodded, "Alright, then if Mr. Chen has any needs, just call me. My Yang Family still has some weight in Tianhe City."

"Mm," Chen Fan turned and left the villa.

After seeing off Chen Fan, Yang Tian immediately began preparing for the thank-you banquet that night.

Since Chen Fan’s mother was also present, the banquet naturally had to be as grand as possible.

Once everything was arranged, he took out his phone and called his assistant, Yuan Lin.

"President Yang, what do you need from me?" Yuan Lin was still feeling down about the blind date from noon.

Yang Tian said with a laugh, "Lin, haven’t you always said you wanted me to introduce you to a boyfriend with status and background? Tonight, I’m hosting a very important guest, and this guest has quite the significant reputation and background. Even I have to show him the utmost respect in his presence."

"Most importantly, he is about your age, so I thought to give you a call."

Yuan Lin’s voice grew excited, "President Yang, you’re really too good to me! Just this noon I went on a date with a guy, and that man was truly shameless, even asking me to pay for dinner. I’ve had enough of those undesirable types, you always look out for me."

Yang Tian chuckled and said, "However, this guest has an extraordinary status, and I don’t know what his taste is like. All I can do is invite you to the banquet, whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you."

Yuan Lin said confidently, "President Yang, you can rest assured. I’ll use all my tricks to attract this guest’s attention."

...

On his way to find Wang Suyun, Chen Fan suddenly received a phone call.

He took out the phone and saw it was actually Shen Lingdie calling.

"What’s this girl calling me for?"

He was slightly puzzled but answered the phone.

"Chen Fan, I miss you. Will you come to see me?" Shen Lingdie’s playful and distinct voice rang out.

Chen Fan said, "Not good."

"Hmph, bad man!" Shen Lingdie huffed and then, with a click, she hung up the phone.

Chen Fan felt baffled, "Is she just bored, so she called me?"

Without overthinking it, he put away the phone and continued on his way.

Soon, Chen Fan arrived at the place where Wang Suyun and the others were.

As soon as Tao Chunjuan saw Chen Fan, she greeted him warmly, "Chen Fan, look at you, becoming the boss of a big company like Qingfan Pharmaceuticals and not even inviting your Aunt Tao to dinner."

"The girl I introduced to you was indeed a bit lackluster and truly not a match for you. From now on, Aunt Tao will learn her lesson and never introduce you to such undesirable dates."

Chen Fan could only smile helplessly and said, "Aunt Tao, President Yang has organized a banquet tonight; why don’t you join us?"

Tao Chunjuan’s eyes lit up, "Really? Then I won’t be polite."

Chen Fan smiled and looked at Wang Suyun and Qi Heng, "Since we’re here in Tianhe City, let’s walk around the city. We can head over there later tonight."

...

When evening came.

Tianhe Grand Hotel.

The entire hotel had been booked by Yang Tian.

The first floor of the hotel had been arranged to be dazzling and magnificent, as per Yang Tian’s request.

The number of people attending the dinner party wasn’t high, including only some senior members of the Yang Family and a few close friends of Yang Tian.

Yuan Lin was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, using it as a mirror to carefully inspect her makeup.

She wore a teal body-hugging dress that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure, while her black stockings paired with high heels further accentuated her allure.

She was quite satisfied with her attire and confident about capturing the guest’s attention immediately.

"Men are all the same, no matter how capable, they can’t resist the temptation of beauty. Tonight, I will be the brightest star, and once that guest sees me, he will surely be captivated by me, giving me the chance to soar high and transform into a phoenix."

Thinking this, Yuan Lin couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.

At that moment, a taxi stopped at the entrance of Tianhe Grand Hotel.

Chen Fan got out of the car with Wang Suyun, Tao Chunjuan, and Qi Heng.

Yuan Lin saw the four figures through the window and her brows immediately furrowed.

"How could this shameless thing turn up here?"
