Upon answering the phone, Liu Chaowu informed me that the Chinese Martial Arts Competition would be held in Dao City in three days. However, this year's competition was somewhat different from previous ones. Traditionally, the Martial Arts Competition focused mainly on performances, but this time, a Martial Arts Arena Tournament had been added. This tournament would not be open to the public; instead, it would be held privately due to its substantial prize money, amounting to hundreds of millions. This would undoubtedly attract many true masters.
The Martial Arts Arena Tournament was where the real excitement lay. Of course, Liu Chaowu knew that with Jiang Chen's strength, these events wouldn't hold much interest for him.
"Alright, I'll head to Dao City the day after tomorrow. Let's meet there," Jiang Chen said.
Jiang Chen wasn't just going to enjoy the spectacle; he had two important matters to attend to. The first was to scout out some skilled individuals for his film. The second was to see if there were any promising candidates for cultivation.
The next day, Jiang Chen accompanied his god-sister back to her hometown and reminded Lin Yin to travel alone to Dao City the day after tomorrow. They would meet up there.
Jiang Lu's hometown was in Ontario Liufei City. She was her parents' only child, and they were thrilled to hear that she had a god-brother, eager for her to bring him home for a visit. Naturally, her parents also considered this a potential prelude to their daughter finding a partner.
This time, her father from the Jiang Bao family came to pick them up in a brand-new Passat worth two hundred thousand.
"Dad, when did you buy a car?" Jiang Lu asked excitedly as she spotted her father standing next to the shiny vehicle at the station.
"I just bought it last week. Your mother and I discussed it; having no car is indeed inconvenient," Jiang Bao replied with a smile.
"Dad, this is my brother Jiang Chen!" Jiang Lu introduced as she pulled Jiang Chen over.
"Hello, Dad!" Jiang Chen hesitantly greeted him. Usually fearless as an Immortal Lord, he seemed somewhat shy at this moment.
"Well, Xiao Chen, from now on we are family. I'm so happy to have a son," Jiang Bao said with a grin.
Jiang Chen nodded in acknowledgment but didn't say much more; he felt satisfied with this father figure. With his biological parents gone, having a godfather and godmother was still quite nice. Although he was an Immortal Lord, sometimes it was better to remain low-key.
"Let's go; your mother has already prepared lunch and is waiting for you both," Jiang Bao said cheerfully.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Lu often mentions you and says you're not an ordinary person. I guess I’m lucky then," Jiang Bao added politely in the car.
"Dad, since we're family now, there's no need for such formalities," Jiang Chen replied.
By the time they returned home, it was already noon. As soon as they opened the door, the aroma of food wafted through the air.
Jiang Lu's mother, Zhou Rongli, was busy in the kitchen while a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman and a young girl sat in the living room watching television. The mother and daughter pair seemed quite comfortable on the sofa and didn’t offer any help to Zhou Rongli.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen and the others return, the mother and daughter finally lifted their heads to look.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Aunt Chu had some matters to attend to at home a few days ago. She came over today for a visit, and Duo Duo is here too. Xiao Lu, you and Duo Duo must not have seen each other for many years," the Jiang Bao family said with a smile.
Jiang Lu then remembered that Aunt Chu, whose full name was Chu Mei, was a colleague of her mother’s and they lived in the same neighborhood, so they had a good relationship. However, Aunt Chu's husband had moved to Yue Province six years ago for work and was said to be doing quite well, having started a company worth tens of millions. Now, it was likely worth even more. With her husband’s success, Aunt Chu had taken her daughter to settle in Yue Province, making it rare for them to return home.
