"Mr. Jiang, do you really think I'm still young?" Liu Liangmei thought she must have misheard.
Jiang Chen nodded, continuing his stride.
Liu Liangmei fell a few steps behind Jiang Chen but quickly caught up. "Mr. Jiang, are you saying you're older than me?" Seeing that Jiang Chen was serious, it could only mean that he was indeed older; otherwise, he wouldn't have the right to say that someone in their fifties was still young.
Jiang Chen smiled without answering. After walking a bit further, he said, "Liu Pavilion Master, you need to broaden your perspective. Fifty years is just a fleeting moment. A stone can exist for a thousand or even ten thousand years; why can't a person?"
His seemingly casual words struck Liu Liangmei profoundly, leaving her shaken in a way she had never experienced before. The implication of Jiang Chen's statement—that a person could live for a thousand or even ten thousand years—was astonishing. After all, the recorded civilization of Huaxia had only existed for about five thousand years; Jiang Chen's words were truly shocking.
"Mr. Jiang, can people really live that long?" Liu Liangmei asked cautiously.
"Of course," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Liu Liangmei felt dazed and didn't know what to say as she walked aimlessly alongside Jiang Chen, her admiration for him growing stronger.
In the evening, as the last rays of sunlight bathed the land, a private residence on the outskirts of Bao Bei City was bustling with activity. Luxury cars arrived one after another, and prominent figures from the island and abroad stepped out.
Tonight marked the fiftieth birthday of Lou Yijing, the leader of the Xuan Yue Sect, as well as the twentieth anniversary celebration of the sect's establishment. Lou Yijing had been running the sect on the island for many years, and there were over a hundred disciples, including not only locals but also individuals from Southeast Asia, Island Nations, Goryeo, and America.
Lou Yijing selected her disciples not only based on talent but also on certain criteria; her students were all from influential backgrounds.
When Jiang Chen and Liu Liangmei arrived, the sun had already set and night had fallen. Lou Yijing's residence was lit up like a luxurious palace, grand and opulent.
"Mr. Jiang, let's go inside," Liu Liangmei said after gathering her emotions. She had dressed up at the hotel to look more beautiful, exuding an air of maturity.
Jiang Chen nodded and walked toward the magnificent residence with Liu Liangmei.
Liu Liangmei somehow obtained an invitation letter. Although Jiang Chen's attire seemed somewhat out of place for the occasion, no one dared to stop them as they smoothly entered the house.
Once inside, there was a designated area for gifts. The staff noticed that Liu Liangmei and Jiang Chen hadn't brought any gifts and glanced at them curiously.
"My gift is precious; I need to hand it directly to Lou Yijing," Liu Liangmei explained.
Since Liu Liangmei said so, no one pressed further. Moreover, her appearance indicated that she was someone of status; as for Jiang Chen, others assumed he was merely Liu Liangmei's attendant or driver.
Entering the hall—a spacious area of several hundred square meters—one felt as if they had stepped into an ancient palace with its grandiose decor.
Lou Yijing had yet to make her entrance. In the hall were mostly female disciples of Lou Yijing, all elegantly dressed as if it were not an anniversary celebration but rather a glamorous event in the entertainment industry where beauties competed for attention.
