"I testify..."

At this moment, Lin Ruyu, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Who are you, and what use is your testimony?" Chen Jun thought Lin Ruyu was even more beautiful, but he knew that Su Qing and Lin Ruyu must be best friends. If he pursued Su Qing and then went after Lin Ruyu, he surely wouldn't get either of them.

"The heir apparent of the Tianfu Group," Lin Ruyu said with an authoritative tone.

"What..." Chen Jun was stunned. Why did everyone he met today seem so strange? Suddenly, an heir apparent of the Tianfu Group popped up?

In Huaxia, if someone didn't know about the Tianfu Group, they must be at the very bottom. Someone with his status—like the second generation of officials and rich offspring—would naturally know about the Tianfu Group.

"Stop being dumbfounded. If you want to check my identity, just go ahead. My name is Lin Ruyu." Nowadays, Lin Ruyu didn't conceal her identity because her father believed Ye Hao could take care of her, so she wasn't wronged anymore. Now she could openly tell others she's Lin Tian's daughter.

Lin Ruyu's confirmation left Chen Jun speechless.

"Hehe! Anyone else unconvinced?" Su Jinyuan asked with a smiling face.

No one responded, although Ye Hao hadn't revealed his identity, the 3 billion alone was enough to leave them speechless.

"Haha! It seems my judgment is not bad!" Su Jinyuan laughed heartily, then placed Su Qing's hand into Ye Hao's large hand.

"Ye Hao, I entrust my daughter to you. As for a wedding and whatever, it doesn't matter if there's one or not." Su Jinyuan knew Ye Hao had another girlfriend, Lin Ruyu, so he didn't expect a wedding. He just wanted his daughter to be happy.

Moreover, Ye Hao himself was a young man with unlimited potential. He guessed that in less than ten years, Ye Hao's name would resonate throughout the Huaxia military community.

Because the weapon designs provided by Ye Hao had already spread to the Nanyue Province military district. The commander of the Nanyue Province military district often mentioned the advanced nature of these weapons to him.

The high-level military officials didn't keep it a secret; many people knew Ye Hao's name.

"Alright, Dad, I will take care of her." Ye Hao couldn't believe happiness came so quickly, but he was happy to accept it.

"Daughter, follow Ye Hao and don't be too mischievous. Dad knows making this decision today was a bit hasty, but I've thought it through. A daughter's happiness should be pursued by herself; my decision is just to reassure you, so you can confidently choose the happiness you want." Su Jinyuan said with a smile.

Then Su Qing's mother came up, shedding a few tears again.

The banquet gradually dispersed, but just as Elder Su was leaving, he said to Ye Hao, "Come to my backyard tonight."

Ye Hao nodded, having some idea about it. He needed to visit the elder, intending to make him a bit younger.

Around eight in the evening, after having a full meal at the Su Family with Su Qing and others, Ye Hao went to the backyard to find the elder.

The backyard was generally off-limits, but since the elder had reminded him, Ye Hao entered without much disturbance.

When Ye Hao entered the backyard, he clearly sensed several strong presences of mid-aged men nearby, merely hidden in the shadows.

Ye Hao wasn't afraid that Elder Su would harm him, so he boldly entered the central courtyard.

Elder Su, pretending to nap, waited for Ye Hao to come in.

As Ye Hao entered, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm here."

"Hehe! Good, sit down."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao sat down, and only then did Su Chenhong straighten up, looking at Ye Hao and asking, "Do you know why I want to see you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa should want to ask me about the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms I've been practicing..." Ye Hao said with a light laugh, having sensed a vigorous aura in the elder's body while drinking, an aura similar to his own. Only how the elder had the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was unknown to Ye Hao.

"Hehe, you have keen perception, young man, not bad." Su Chenhong smiled, praising Ye Hao.

"Elder, where does your Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms come from?" Ye Hao asked openly.

"Hehe, where does yours come from?" Su Chenhong also wanted to know.

"Mount Song Shaolin." Ye Hao said directly, not hiding anything.

"Hehe, mine is a Su family inheritance."

"Oh? From which ancestor?" Ye Hao asked curiously.

"Have you seen the TV about Su Qigai, played by Su Can?" Su Chenhong asked with a smile.

"I've heard of it."

"Su Can is my Su family's ancestor..."

"What! The TV portrayal is true?" Ye Hao asked, eyes wide open.

"Some of it is true, some is not. There's no smoke without fire!" Su Chenhong chuckled as he said.

"So... are our Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from the same lineage?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled to Su Chenhong.

"Of course, because my Su family ancestor, Su Can, learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from a secular monk from Shaolin. To be exact, what you learned from Mount Song Shaolin is the authentic one; what my ancestor learned is an inheritance." Su Chenhong said with a smile, not boasting about his family's authenticity.

"I see, then... the TV says the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were the Beggar Gang's signature martial art; how did it end up in Shaolin?" Ye Hao voiced his question.

"Hehe! It's simple; in the later stages of the Late Qing, major sects sent people to join the revolution to eliminate invaders. To ensure that martial arts weren't lost to future generations of Huaxia, many advanced martial arts were entrusted to revered individuals to keep, so a hundred years later, Huaxia might become a martial nation again, strengthening the body and safeguarding the country." When he said this, Su Chenhong seemed a bit melancholic.

The old generations of the past martial world! They all perished at the hands of invaders.

"So, the Beggar Gang entrusted the high-level martial art Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to Abbot Jing Nian for safekeeping?"

"That's how it was, theoretically. Hehe, alright, I've told you everything you need to know. It's up to you to carry forward the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms." Su Chenhong spoke as if he found a sense of reliance.

"Hehe! Elder, you still have plenty of time; such a significant task should be yours." Ye Hao politely refused, not wanting to take on the responsibility of promoting it.

"Rascal, how many good years do I have left? Perhaps in a few years, I'll kick the bucket..."

"No way, with me here, you, Elder, can live at least fifty more years," Ye Hao said with a smile.

"Don't comfort me. Even if you had great abilities, there's no way to make an old man young again for decades," Su Chenhong waved his hand and said.

Listening to this, Ye Hao laughed and said, "Grandpa, if I could do it, would you come to Peng City with me and practice daily?"

Su Chenhong paused for a moment, then laughed, "Why would you want me, an ordinary person, to practice with you?"

Ye Hao shook his head with a smile, gave Su Chenhong a meaningful look... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
