Chapter 80 Knowingly telling the truth! Lin family!
"without…"
Tang Huang, still in a daze, snapped out of it and shook his head. "I'm just a little impressed by Senior Brother Zhou's family connections."
"I see..."
Mu Bai suddenly realized, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
He had just noticed that the other person's gaze was not on Zhou Zhengtang and the others.
Instead, it was Liu Shi and Su Hao who were involved.
It should be noted that most of the guests who came to offer their congratulations today are prominent figures in their respective towns, and Tang Huang should be standing next to Master Liu at this time.
Perhaps this was due to some of the arrangements made by Zhou Zhengtang.
But if Liu Shi had asked to keep Tang Huang then, Zhou Zhengtang wouldn't have said anything more.
"However, what Senior Brother Zhou did was indeed somewhat inappropriate. After all, you are Master Liu's most valued disciple, and now you've arranged for Su Hao to accompany you. That's a bit scheming."
Mu Bai sighed softly.
He spoke very softly, but to Tang Huang, his words sounded extremely harsh.
"It was probably just an accident, Senior Brother Mu is overthinking it!"
Tang Huang's tone also became indifferent.
He could always sense that Mu Bai was up to something, and he would often deliberately stir up controversial topics.
Most importantly, he had never heard of this person having any plans. Could it be that he was just bored and wanted to watch the show?
Knowing full well that he was already very unhappy, he still did this on purpose, which annoyed him.
He had to admit that Mu Bai's words did make some sense and stirred up some emotions in him.
If Master Liu had tried to persuade him to stay earlier, even Zhou Zhengtang, the person in charge, would not have allowed him to leave Zhengtang and miss the opportunity to meet these high-ranking members of the family forces.
But from beginning to end, he didn't say a word, which made Tang Huang realize that he had indeed begun to be ignored by his teacher.
If this had happened before, given how much Master Liu valued him back then, this kind of thing would never have happened.
Most importantly, if he, Tang Huang, who was once considered the successor of the boxing gym, is seen by other forces or people from the gym on such an important occasion, what will others think?
This will inevitably lower his status and influence, and may also affect his future development and other forces' investment in him.
"Maybe..." Mu Bai shrugged after hearing this.
Anyway, this matter didn't have much to do with him; he was just trying to be helpful by reminding the other party.
But it seemed the other party didn't care, so he didn't bother to say anything more.
After the wedding ceremony concluded, the wedding banquet began.
Those who were originally assigned to core seats, such as Su Hao, naturally sat together.
The various factions that attend these large family wedding banquets are not simply there for a meal.
They come more to network and build connections.
Almost every successful person would never be in such an occasion and just keep eating in silence.
"Brother Liu, it's been so long! You look even more energetic than before!"
Su Hao sat with Liu Chongshan, waiting for the dishes to be served. Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse voice came from behind, and two figures, one old and one young, walked over.
Su Hao was taken aback and looked up.
The older of the two was around seventy years old, with gray hair, but his complexion was ruddy and he looked full of energy.
The younger one was around twenty years old, tall and handsome with striking features, but his narrow eyes were somewhat gloomy, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.
What surprised Su Hao even more was that the young man was actually Lin Hong, the young master of the Lin family who had come to see him before.
As for why Su Hao had such a deep impression of this person, it was because the other party had asked him to join the Lin family as a guard before, and the tone of that invitation, which sounded like charity, made him very unhappy.
In addition, when passing by the summer rice shop, they saw the other party with Xia Jin, Xia Yingying and others, which doubled their disgust.
However, Su Hao did not expect that the marriage alliance between the Zhou family and the Ren family would even involve the Lin family.
"Hehe! So it's Master Lin. You're getting sturdier and happier these days!"
Liu Chongshan laughed heartily, stood up, and went to greet him.
Out of politeness, Su Hao naturally stood up as well.
Standing behind Liu Chongshan.
"I've been wanting to visit you in the front yard lately, but I've been too busy with things at home to find the time."
Master Lin said with a smile.
"It's all the same, I'm also overwhelmed lately, I'm afraid I won't have time to entertain you if you come looking for me!"
Liu Chongshan waved his hand, his tone helpless.
The two old men were exchanging pleasantries and chatting, while Su Hao and Lin Hong stood silently to the side.
Su Hao remained calm, his face expressionless, while Lin Hong frowned slightly, looking at Su Hao's somewhat familiar face, as if recalling something.
After a dozen or so breaths, he was somewhat taken aback and realized the other party's identity.
"Why is this guy so close to Martial Arts Master Liu?"
Lin Hong hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering.
He remembered the identity of the young man in front of him. It was none other than the blacksmith boy from Blackwater Street, whose name was Su Hao.
He had even sent people to invite them before, but they refused.
I never expected to run into him in this setting, especially since he was right next to Master Liu.
What does this mean?
In such an important occasion, the disciple who can be closest to the master is the one whom the master values highly.
He remembered that Yue Shan Boxing Academy had produced a genius named Tang Huang, right? Why didn't that guy come?
Filled with questions, Lin Hong hesitated for a moment before whispering a few words in his father's ear.
Upon hearing this, Lin's father also showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Seeing this, Su Hao frowned slightly, wondering what Lin Hong was up to.
After thinking for a moment, Master Lin smiled and said to Liu Chongshan:
"Brother Chongshan, you know... that young disciple named Su Hao that you recommended to me last time, I had my son Lin Hong visit him before, but he couldn't manage it and it didn't work out. He should be this young friend, right?"
When Lin Yuan went out, he immediately displayed the emotional intelligence of a seasoned veteran.
First, they criticized Lin Hong for his incompetence, and then they shifted the blame to Su Hao.
It doesn't feel abrupt, and it also seems polite.
Liu Chongshan was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Unexpectedly, the other party would bring up Su Hao on their own initiative.
He smiled slightly, then stepped aside to reveal Su Hao behind him, and said with a smile, "I see... But young people are hot-blooded, and sometimes when they get stubborn, not even ten donkeys could stop them. I'll have to ask Brother Lin to be more understanding..."
Although Liu Chongshan was unsure whether Lin Yuanwai's words were a rebuke or a praise, he still needed a reasonable explanation.
"It's alright, even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains. It's just a pity about this young talent; it would be best if we could become friends and cooperate..."
Master Lin sighed, his words filled with regret.
"In that case, I will definitely go back and give Brother Lin some serious advice, so as not to disappoint him!"
Liu Chongshan also tried to evade the issue.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two took their seats and began chatting with other people.
