"Mom, Master Wang has quite the drinking capacity, but at his age, he should really drink less. Research shows that older people are more prone to strokes and sudden death if they get drunk," Yun Zhe Yue said softly.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the private room was intense. Yun Zhe Yue thought no one could hear her, but as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Jingzhi turned to look at her.
"Don't worry, young lady. The more I drink, the clearer my mind becomes," Wang Jingzhi replied with a smile.
"How is that possible? You're just trying to fool me," Yun Zhe Yue countered boldly, unafraid of Wang Jingzhi due to her outgoing personality shaped by her Western education.
"Haha, I never lie, especially not to a young girl like you. You know there’s a type of martial arts that can use internal energy to expel alcohol from the body," Wang Jingzhi explained.
"I've seen that kind of martial arts on TV, but does it really exist in reality? I find that hard to believe," Yun Zhe Yue said straightforwardly. To be honest, seeing all these older men, she simply couldn't connect them with extraordinary martial artists.
In common perception, when people age, their physical abilities decline; they might even struggle to walk. How could they possibly fight like legendary heroes?
"Zhe Yue, Master Wang's abilities are well-known. You should show some respect and apologize," Yun Tianxiao admonished quickly.
"It's fine. A child’s honesty is commendable. Since you've never seen such skills before, I'll let you witness it today," Wang Jingzhi said with a smile. He then circulated his internal energy, causing the alcohol in his body to transform into white mist and evaporate from him.
The Yun family watched in astonishment.
"Master Wang is truly remarkable!" Yun Tianxiao praised.
"I wouldn't say I'm extraordinary, but in all of Huaxia, there are only a handful of people who can match my skills," Wang Jingzhi replied with a grin.
"Master Wang, I have an unwanted request," Yun Tianxiao said respectfully, a bit nervously.
"Speak."
"I want my children to join the Feitian Sect," Yun Tianxiao stated earnestly, filled with anticipation.
Wang Jingzhi did not respond immediately but instead looked at Yun Zhe Yue and the others.
At their father's prompting, Yun Conglong, Yun Yuantao, and Yun Zhe Yue stood up as Yun Tianxiao introduced them one by one.
"They're a bit older now—over eighteen—so unless they're exceptional talents, it will be difficult for them to achieve success in martial arts. President Yun, you should consider this carefully; the path of martial arts is not an easy one. Its hardships exceed your imagination," Wang Jingzhi cautioned.
"I understand; one must endure hardship to rise above others. By the way, Conglong has a foundation in martial arts and was part of a special forces unit," Yun Tianxiao quickly added.
"In that case, I will agree. However, I cannot guarantee how far they will go in martial arts; it depends on their own efforts," Wang Jingzhi stated.
After all, the Yun family was a 'big financial backer,' so he had to offer them some opportunities.
"Thank you very much, Master Wang!" Yun Tianxiao said joyfully and excitedly.
"By the way, President Yun, where's your second child? I haven't taken on a disciple in years. The last time I saw your second child, I thought she was quite promising; I am interested in taking her as my disciple," Wang Jingzhi suddenly remarked.
"Ah?" Yun Tianxiao was surprised, not expecting Master Wang to take Yun Yuechan as a disciple. That was quite a significant position—being the sect master's disciple.
"She, she is at the Jinling Grand Hotel tonight, accompanying a distinguished guest with her grandfather. I'll go call her over shortly," Wang Jingzhi quickly said.
"A distinguished guest? It seems their status is higher than mine," Wang Jingzhi remarked with a faint smile, a hint of displeasure lurking beneath.
As the head of the Yun Family, naturally, it was the Yun Family Patriarch. Wang Jingzhi had initially thought that the Patriarch was unwell and couldn't attend tonight, but to his surprise, he was accompanying another distinguished guest and neglecting him. This left Wang Jingzhi feeling quite uncomfortable.
"Um, it's been several years since we've seen that distinguished guest. Since they happened to visit today, my old man didn't dare to be negligent and had to go accompany them," Yun Tianxiao hurriedly explained.
"President Yun, since we're all dining in the same place, why not invite your distinguished guest to join us for a drink?" Wang Jingzhi suggested with a casual smile.
"I was afraid of disturbing Master Wang and the elders," Yun Tianxiao replied.
"Not at all, go ahead and call them," Wang Jingzhi said dismissively.
"Alright then, Conglong, go and invite them," Yun Tianxiao instructed his eldest son.
Yun Conglong nodded and left the table, pushing open the door. After a few minutes, he returned alone.
"Where are your grandfather and the others?" Yun Tianxiao asked, frowning when he saw no one had followed.
"Grandpa said he couldn't come," Yun Conglong replied helplessly.
"Why not?" Yun Tianxiao felt embarrassed.
"Grandpa just said he didn't have time. I couldn't persuade him any further."
The atmosphere fell silent. Yun Tianxiao turned to look at Wang Jingzhi.
"Master Wang, I'm sorry. Perhaps it's best to let it go. My old man's personality is a bit peculiar; it's probably for the best if he doesn't come," Yun Tianxiao finally found an excuse, attributing it to his father's character.
