**Chapter 891: So Long**
Chen Sheng was so panicked that he almost peed himself!
What the hell?
Jiangnan was going to teach the method of cultivating the Spirit Veil to others?
If they all mastered the essence of the Spirit Veil, wouldn't everyone be wearing big padded jackets?
And the Chen family would be the only ones in small vests? How cold would that be?
If that really happened, his dad would skin him alive!
On the TV screen, Jiangnan was grinning like a blooming flower.
"You wanna learn? I can teach you sometime!"
Chen Sheng grabbed the bars and stuck his head through the gap, glaring at Jiangnan as if trying to stare him to death.
"Hey, buddy, can I borrow your phone to make a call? It's urgent!"
Bio-suit Dragon Abyss: "Make a call? Dream on. You're in detention. Show some respect!"
Chen Sheng urged, "It's really urgent! Today is my dad's 90th birthday! As his son, I need to fulfill my filial duty!"
The Dragon Abyss guard hesitated for a moment, then softened and handed the phone to Chen Sheng.
...
Meanwhile, at the Chen family's ancient mansion in Lan City, it was bustling with festivity.
Today was the 90th birthday of Chen Daoyi, the head of the Chen family.
A row of luxury cars was parked at the entrance. Chen family members from home and abroad had all rushed back to celebrate Chen Daoyi's birthday.
At the dining table, Chen Daoyi, with white eyebrows and white hair, wore a loose linen training suit and sat in the seat of honor, beaming with smiles.
Although he was old with many wrinkles on his face, his spirit was still strong.
"Longevity noodles are here~"
A steaming bowl of noodles was brought up. Chen Daoyi scanned the table, his white brows slightly furrowing.
"Where's Eighth? Has he forgotten about his father?"
Big Brother Chen wiped his sweat: "Eighth... he... he's been detained!"
Chen Daoyi was stunned: "What's going on? Who dares to detain someone from the Chen family?"
The room fell silent. Big Brother Chen quickly explained the situation.
Chen Daoyi's face darkened: "Hmph! Can't he do anything right? Can't even figure out the situation? That kid Jiangnan got the token and now he's this arrogant?"
He slammed his hand heavily on the table.
"But they just detained one of my people like that? We need an explanation!"
Big Brother Chen quickly placated him, "Dad, don't get angry. Let's discuss this later. Today is a happy day!"
"Little Gege, come, wish Grandpa a happy birthday!"
A little girl, as delicate and pink as a porcelain doll, hopped over. She had two pigtails on her head and spoke in a cute, childish voice.
(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)"Wishing Grandpa happiness as vast as the Eastern Sea, longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain, and may you live forever without dying!"
This made everyone in the hall burst into laughter. Chen Daoyi was so delighted that he picked up the little girl.
"Haha! Good! If you dare to say it, I dare to live it!"
He then lowered his head and took a big slurp of noodles, eating with great relish.
Little Gege said in a sweet, babyish voice, "Grandpa, why didn't you learn the essence of the Spirit Veil that Brother Nanshen taught? Why did you only cultivate a small vest?"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was taken aback. Chen Daoyi was stunned, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"The Spirit Veil is an heirloom of our Chen family! Your grandpa's Spirit Veil is a full 73.5 cm thick!"
"It even surpasses our ancestors! How could it be taught by someone else?"
As he spoke, a cyan Spirit Veil blossomed around him, covering his body, dazzlingly brilliant.
Big Brother Chen laughed, "Exactly! Gege is just talking nonsense. Children say the darndest things. Dad, don't mind it."
Little Gege insisted stubbornly, "No! I'm not lying! Grandpa's is just a small vest!"
"Nanshen's is three meters thick!"
At her words, the hall erupted in laughter.
"Haha, Big Brother, how do you raise your kid? You need to explain our heirloom clearly to her!"
"Right? You can't get such basic knowledge wrong. Cultivating a Spirit Veil three meters thick? Pfft~"
"Kids are so innocent. Dad's Spirit Veil thickness is unprecedented!"
Big Brother Chen felt embarrassed and scolded, "Little Gege! Stop messing around! What three meters thick? Why are you learning to lie?"
Little Gege was scolded by her father, tears welling up in her big eyes. She started crying.
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚
"I'm not lying! Grandpa's is a crappy little vest, and Brother Nanshen's is a big padded jacket!"
"If you don't believe me, look!"
She pulled out a tablet from her chest, which was playing a live stream of the exchange meeting.
Chen Daoyi focused his eyes and immediately choked. Two strands of noodles uncontrollably shot out of his nostrils, hanging down long.
He leaned back on the stool, kicking his legs, his face turning blue.
(ꐦ꒪ͦ༎ຶ꒪ͦꐦ)!!!
[Resentment Value from Chen Daoyi +1000!]
This scene scared the Chen family members!
"Damn! Dad! What happened, Dad?"
They rushed to pat Chen Daoyi's back, but it was useless. His face turned even bluer!
"Little Gege! Quick! Pull the longevity noodles out of Grandpa's nostrils!"
Little Gege panicked, grabbed the noodles, and yanked. With each yank, he kicked his legs.
But the longevity noodles lived up to their name; they were incredibly long. Only after pulling out half a bowl of noodles did they finally get them out!
Chen Daoyi took a deep breath. He almost died on the spot, turning his birthday into a funeral!
Looking at the tablet again, Chen Daoyi's eyes turned red!
"Jiangnan? He... how does he know our Chen family's Spirit Veil? And it's so thick? This..."
[Resentment Value from Chen Daoyi +1000!]
No one could sit still now. They all looked at the live stream and gasped.
Holy crap! It really was three meters thick? Compared to that, theirs were indeed small vests!
Little Gege put her hands on her hips, looking proud. "Heehee~ Didn't I tell you? Brother Nanshen is amazing! He just stands still and lets people hit him, and they can't even touch him!"
But at this moment, no one was laughing.
Just then, Chen Daoyi's phone rang. He answered, "Eighth? What's going on?"
"What? It was your son who gave the Spirit Veil cultivation method to Jiangnan?"
"You're useless! When you get out, I'll skin you alive!"
Chen Sheng's legs trembled with fear, but he said, "That's not the point! The point is, Jiangnan is going to teach others the method of his 'Glazed Jacket'!"
"Dad, think of a way quickly, or..."
Chen Daoyi erupted in fury, flipping the table over. "I can see that! I don't need you to remind me! Is this the birthday gift you're giving me?"
"Are you trying to send me off? You're filial to death!"
He hung up the phone and glared at the live stream, his face dark as thunder.
Damn it! How did Jiangnan learn it?
I've been practicing since the beginning of spiritual energy resurgence, clinging to the family history, and I've reached my limit at just over seventy centimeters, even surpassing my ancestors!
And Jiangnan? How long has he had the cultivation method? He's already got three meters thick?
Besides, Chen Lang only seemed to have the basic method, right? How did Jiangnan...
Did he complete the rest? That's impossible!
Chen Daoyi stared at the live stream, his eyes bloodshot!
In the detention room, Chen Sheng listened to the busy tone, feeling aggrieved, his head spinning.
With a "crack," he accidentally crushed the phone.
Bio-suit Dragon Abyss: (≖_≖) "That was my phone!"
Chen Sheng looked embarrassed: "S-sorry... I'll pay you back when I get out."
He tried to pull his head back out of the gap in the bars.
But pulling back didn't work—his head was stuck tight in the gap made of Spirit-Binding Steel!
No matter how hard he tugged, it was firmly wedged and wouldn't come out.
Chen Sheng's face darkened. Stuck? He had just gotten his head in easily!
Had his head really swollen?
(٥･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "B-buddy? Can you help? My head is stuck!"
But the Bio-suit Dragon Abyss ignored him: "Stay stuck. Doesn't matter."
You broke my phone and still want my help? Dream on!
Hearing that Chen Sheng's head was stuck, Chen Lang, huddled in the corner, brightened up with righteous indignation!
He struggled to his feet and kicked Chen Sheng right in the ass!
The kick wedged his head in even tighter!
"Hey, hey, hey! Who the hell kicked me? Don't you want to live?"
Chen Sheng tried to turn around but couldn't with this angle.
Chen Lang didn't say a word. He just kicked Chen Sheng's ass repeatedly!
You beat me for a whole week—now it's my turn!
Even the two Bio-suit Dragon Abyss guards couldn't bear to watch. What a scene of father-son devotion!
Meanwhile, on the arena, Sean was still roaring and attacking, all to no avail.
Jiangnan was scrolling through the Resentment Value list.
Besides Chen Sheng, a bunch of Chen family names suddenly appeared, all adding Resentment Value.
One called Chen Daoyi was contributing the most.
Jiangnan grinned. So the main Chen family saw it too?
That Chen Daoyi must be the family head, right?
After all, the name sounded pretty old.
Good—that was exactly what he wanted.
A big padded jacket-level Spirit Veil—I bet they can't resist.
If they want it, they'll have to come negotiate. Too bad I only take soft deals.
If the Chen family tries to play hardball, we'll see who's tougher.
Jiangnan stretched lazily. "Hey! Aren't you tired of hitting me all by yourself? Why not call down all your guys and try together?"
"Who knows? You might even win!"
Jiangnan felt it was necessary to show off his ace move to Chen Daoyi.
Since he was setting a trap, the bait had to be good enough. Maybe he'd even get some unexpected gains.
