Chapter 475 Is This My Illusion?

In addition to his identity as the eldest son of the Shen family.

Shen Xinghe has another identity that is not well known.

Like Yang Xiaolan, he joined a certain ancient martial arts sect and practiced with his master when he was young.

Shen Xinghe is now 38 years old, and he has practiced for 30 years.

As the time of practice gets longer and longer, his strength has not increased at all, but has begun to decline.

The power of time is difficult for anyone to resist.

Even the secluded masters in the hidden sects who practice ancient martial arts cannot resist aging.

As people age, the functions of the human body begin to decline, and the decline of strength is inevitable.

The settings in TV dramas or movies that the longer you live, the stronger your strength is, which is just a fantasy of film and television editors.

In reality, those ancient martial arts practitioners in their seventies and eighties are absolutely no match for the young disciples who worship under them.

Ancient martial arts practitioners in their thirties like Yang Xiaolan and Shen Xinghe are the backbone of the sect.

Shen Xinghe seems to be traveling around these years, but in fact he is looking for a place that is more suitable for cultivation.

He has visited some famous mountains and rivers, but the results are not satisfactory, and he is still searching hard.

Moreover, almost all the hidden sects are doing the same thing, that is, looking for a more suitable place for cultivation.

It is no exaggeration to say that a treasure land suitable for cultivation can at least allow an ancient martial artist to live ten or eight years longer.

The longer people live, the longer they want to live.

For those old monsters in the ancient martial arts sects who are already over a hundred years old, living ten or eight years longer is definitely a very tempting thing.

Longevity is a bit unrealistic, but living as long as possible is almost the common wish of all ancient martial arts practitioners!

Fighting and killing is not popular in the real world, and real ancient martial arts practitioners will not easily take action to compete with others.

Working hard to practice and make the body stronger is the lifelong pursuit of most people.

In the eyes of outsiders, cutting off the secular world and quitting all entertainment activities may be a very bitter thing.

But in the eyes of true practitioners, the secular world and some so-called entertainment activities are nothing but a waste of time and life.

The joy of practice, the resonance between the soul and the flesh, is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Moreover, the large amount of endorphins secreted by the human body during practice brings the human body a pleasure that far exceeds the happy experience of dopamine secreted by playing games.

Ancient martial arts practitioners like Shen Xinghe and Yang Xiaolan can also be said to have transcended "low-level interests".

What they pursue is "higher-level interests", a special experience of sublimation of life.

"I met a very powerful master at this year's martial arts competition. He is only 25 years old this year, but he has entered the top five with a crushing momentum."

"He defeated the champion of the previous session in one move and became the favorite to win this session!"

"I bet on him to win this year and won a little money."

"He was obviously a favorite to win the championship, but he suddenly announced his withdrawal. I guess the organizer must have made some promises to him."

"It's a pity that I didn't see him fight to the end."

Gao Huilong narrated some of the situations at this year's martial arts competition with a look of regret.

If Luo Xuning continued to fight, he could at least win three more games, and the money he earned this year could double at least!

Unfortunately, Luo Xuning reached an agreement with Yang Xiaolan and withdrew from the competition midway after receiving 300 million in compensation.

Although Gao Huilong didn't know about this, he could guess some of the situation.

"Wasn't the last champion Xing Haogan's bodyguard? He was killed in one move?"

Shen Xinghe looked a little surprised when he heard what Gao Huilong said.

Shen Xinghe had also heard of Han Li's reputation.

Although he didn't take Han Li seriously, Han Li's strength was obvious to all.

Being able to win the martial arts championship is a proof of strength.

When he heard that Han Li was killed in one move, Shen Xinghe's first reaction was that he had met an ancient martial arts practitioner!

Only ancient martial arts practitioners who have cultivated to a certain level can kill Han Li in one move!

But, didn't that person know that the Beijing Martial Arts Conference was protected by Yang Xiaolan?

Generally speaking, ancient martial arts sects will give each other enough face and try to reduce conflicts.

If Shen Xinghe wanted, he could easily win the Beijing Martial Arts Conference and win tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds.

But in order to give face to Yang Xiaolan, he would not participate even if he had the strength.

Besides, he didn't care about that little money, and he wouldn't offend Yang Xiaolan for that little money.

"Is it another new ancient martial arts sect that has emerged?"

Shen Xinghe kept speculating in his heart, feeling that this year's situation was a bit unexpected.

"Yes! Han Li was in a miserable situation. He was hit by a punch and fainted on the ring. The difference in strength is too big."

Gao Huilong still shudders when he thinks about the scene of Han Li's defeat.

"I feel that the other contestants are obviously several levels behind that one!"

"I really didn't expect that there are people who can practice kung fu to that level in reality. This time I have opened my eyes. This year's Beijing Martial Arts Conference really went there. It was worth the trip."

"What's that person's name?" Shen Xinghe suddenly became very interested in the master mentioned by Gao Huilong.

Gao Huilong had nothing to hide and told the truth: "Luo Yanning, I heard that he came from Shishi. This year he participated in the martial arts conference for the first time. He is the most outstanding dark horse player in this year's martial arts conference."

"Did you come from Shishi?" Shen Xinghe nodded and was a little surprised. Shishi was only more than 300 kilometers away from the capital. It was neither close nor far.

If there is any ancient martial arts sect in Shishi, it stands to reason that it cannot be hidden from Shen Xinghe.

Jingle bells, jingle bells--!

As soon as Shen Xinghe finished speaking, Gao Huilong's mobile phone, which he placed casually on the coffee table, rang.

Originally, Gao Huilong wanted to hang up casually. After all, Shen Xinghe was considered his guest, and it would not be too late to deal with some less important calls later.

However, after seeing the name on the caller ID, Gao Huilong was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Xinghe:

"What a coincidence, Mr. Shen, this really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are about to arrive. The person we were talking about just now called me."

"Oh? That master you were talking about?" Shen Xinghe was slightly surprised after hearing Gao Huilong's words. This was indeed a coincidence.

Gao Huilong nodded and said, "Yes, that's the one. I don't know if you have any business with me."

"Then you answer the phone first." Shen Xinghe waved his hand towards Gao Huilong, indicating that he could answer the phone first.

"Then I'll take the answer." Gao Huilong said, not shying away from anything, and answered the call with a click of his finger.

"Mr. Luo, I really didn't expect to receive your call so soon. It's a great honor, a great honor."

After Gao Huilong answered the phone, he was polite to Luo Yanning and his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

"You want to come to our Zuixianju for dinner? It's easy to talk, but it's hard to talk when others are here. Mr. Luo, you will definitely have a place when you come!"

"Don't worry, I've reserved the best room in our Zuixianju for you. You can come at any time!"

"No problem, I'll ask someone to reserve the room for you later."

"No trouble, no trouble. Mr. Luo is here because he appreciates our Zuixianju."

"Okay, okay, let's do this for now. We'll see you later."

Gao Huilong talked on the phone for more than a minute before hanging up.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Shen, that person said he wanted to bring a friend to our Zuixianju for dinner. Do you want me to introduce you to him?"

After Gao Huilong hung up Luo Yanning's call, he turned to look at Shen Xinghe and said something jokingly.

"Okay." The speaker was unintentional, but it sounded intentional, but Shen Xinghe took Gao Huilong's words seriously. He was extremely curious about Luo Yanning, and just when he wanted to meet him, the opportunity came.

"..." Gao Huilong was just talking casually, but he didn't expect Shen Xinghe to agree so happily.

Is this still the aloof Young Master Shen who always rejects people thousands of miles away? Has your temper changed today?

…………

Walden Pond Villa Area.

Luo Yanning didn't know that he had become the protagonist of Gao Huilong and Shen Xinghe's discussion.

After making the phone call, a group of five people drove two cars together and drove towards Zuixianju.

Wu Mingshi and Zhang Qian were in the same car, and Luo Yanning, Zhao Rui, and Xu Hakjing were in the same car.

Along the way, Zhao Rui chattered non-stop. From the delicacies in Zuixianju to the delicacies in the capital, there were countless delicacies.

Luo Yanning and Xu Kejing are not the kind of people who are good at talking. They just agree with each other and occasionally chime in, so that Zhao Rui will not act like a stand-up comedian.

It took thirteen minutes for two GLA200s to drive into the open-air parking lot in front of Zuixianju.

After parking the car, the group pushed the door open and got out of the car, chatting and laughing and walked towards the gate.

"Oh! Mr. Luo, it's been a long time. It's been a long time. It's so wonderful that you can come to our Zuixianju!"

From a distance, Gao Huilong saw Luo Yanning and his party and greeted them with an eager smile.

"Welcome Mr. Luo to Zuixianju!"

Gao Huilong was accompanied by several female account managers in small suits and uniforms who greeted Luo Yanning in unison and expressed their welcome.

Wu Mingshi and his party were all surprised when they saw Gao Huilong welcoming Luo Yanning, and they all looked flattered.

"This matter tonight is really troublesome to Mr. Gao."

Luo Yanning smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Gao Huilong. He really didn't expect that Gao Huilong would make such a big fuss to welcome him.

"No trouble, no trouble. Mr. Luo can come to our Zuixianju for dinner because he thinks highly of Gao."

Gao Huilong said with a smile: "In this case, Mr. Luo, no matter how much you spend here tonight, I will give you a full refund.

Mr. Luo must give Gao Mou this face and let Gao Mou express his gratitude. "

"If you say so, Mr. Gao, we won't enter this restaurant. We can just eat elsewhere. We are here to take care of your business, not to take advantage of you."

Luo Yanning smiled and rejected Gao Huilong's kindness. As the saying goes, a cannibal has a short mouth, and he never likes to owe others favors.

Besides, he didn't miss a meal, because it was a bit unworthy to owe someone a favor for a meal.

Seeing that Luo Yanning didn't look like he was joking, Gao Huilong hurriedly said: "Goodbye, Mr. Luo, it's hard to come here. If you don't even come in, wouldn't it be a lack of hospitality on my part?"

Luo Yanning reiterated and said: "Let's make an agreement first. Mr. Gao can give me an acquaintance's price for tonight's meal, so it's free of charge."

"Okay, okay! I'll give Mr. Luo the premium membership price for tonight's meal!"

In order to retain Luo Shuning, Gao Huilong had to give up and give a discount on the price, and never mentioned the free bill again.

While Luo Shuning and Gao Huilong were being polite, Shen Xinghe, who was following Gao Huilong, first glanced at Luo Shuning and others.

Although Zhang Qian and Zhao Rui were both women, they were also martial artists, and their temperaments were obviously different from those of ordinary women.

However, the auras of the two were definitely not ancient martial arts practitioners, but more like traditional martial arts practitioners.

There is still a big difference between traditional martial arts and ancient martial arts, and there are differences in all aspects.

From temperament to breathing, you can tell at a glance whether a person is an ancient martial arts practitioner.

If Yang Xiaolan was present, everyone would definitely be able to see at a glance that she and Shen Xinghe had very similar temperaments, and they might even mistake the two for "couples".

"Strange... His temperament and aura are definitely not those of a martial arts practitioner, but why does he give me a very dangerous feeling?"

"Is it my illusion? No, this extremely dangerous feeling only comes when I face Yang Xiaolan."

"My feeling is not wrong. If I fight him, I may not be his opponent!"

"Strange, strange, how strange!"

Shen Xinghe's eyes swept across Zhang Qian and Zhao Rui, and finally stopped at Luo Shuning. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he could not see through him.

Although Luo Shuning did not say anything, he had noticed Shen Xinghe next to Gao Huilong early on.

The first time he saw Shen Xinghe, Luo Shuning thought of Yang Xiaolan, who had fought with him before. The temperaments of the two were too similar!

"The temperament of this middle-aged man is just like the male version of Yang Xiaolan. Is he another martial arts master?"

"The water in Beijing is really muddy and deep. You can meet masters everywhere."

While Luo Shuning and Gao Huilong were socializing, most of their attention was on Shen Xinghe.

"By the way, Mr. Luo, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Shen Xinghe."

"Old Shen, this is Mr. Luo Shuning I just mentioned to you!"

After greeting, Gao Huilong introduced Luo Shuning and Shen Xinghe to each other.

"Nice to meet you. I heard from Huilong that Mr. Luo is a martial arts expert. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Mr. Shen is great."

Luo Shuning and Shen Xinghe reached out and shook hands, just like ordinary people when they first met. It was just a simple handshake without any trial.

After a few pleasantries at the door, Gao Huilong, along with a group of account managers, invited Luo Shuning and others in, and arranged for them to enter the most upscale private room in Zuixianju.

After arranging Luo Shuning and others, Gao Huilong left tactfully, and did not force himself to stay and get close to Luo Shuning.
