"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. It's necessary to venture into the martial arts world, and it's also necessary to have a solid foundation. You've experienced many dangers and done many great things in the past few years. It's time to calm down and hone your skills at home."

Su Yue didn't mind at all and patted Meng Qi on the shoulder.

He glanced at Su Ziyu and Su Ziyue who were following behind him:
"Many of the aristocratic families in the capital are short of successors because they lack the experience of the martial arts world. Back then, my elder brother and I were not afraid of danger and traveled to the northwest."

As they were talking, they had entered the hall. Inside was a man standing with his hands behind his back. His facial features were quite similar to Meng Qi's, just like his middle-aged appearance, but he was more masculine and majestic, and not as delicate and handsome as Meng Qi.

This man had a long beard and looked at Meng Qi with complicated eyes.

Before he could say anything, several people came out from behind him. Leading them was a graceful woman with a pretty face without wrinkles, but her eyes were cold and she stared at Meng Qi.

"How did you come?"

Divine Might Marquis Su Li said in a deep voice.

"Of course I'm here to see our good son."

The woman didn't smile at all.

As Su Li's legally married wife, his sons had to call her mother.

Some of the others stood beside Su Li, while others walked near the Golden-Eyed Detective Su Yue.

Suddenly, a man next to Su Yue laughed and said:
"Second brother, is there something important that brought you back to Beijing suddenly?"

He is quite similar to Su Ziyu, and should be Su Yue's eldest son, Su Dingyu.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent. The woman's eyes became increasingly gloomy, and Su Ziyu's face showed an expression of uneasiness.

Is Su Ziyuan going home to fight for the title?

Although an adopted son is superior to a concubine's son, martial arts are respected and the Su family is not a Confucian family. With his strength and potential, it may not be impossible!

Meng Qi closed his eyes and all the people present appeared in his mind. Except for Ke Weilan and Su Ziyue who had nothing to hide, everyone else seemed to be wearing a mask.

He opened his eyes and said calmly:

"I heard that there is a Qionghua Banquet in the capital, and I want to meet you all."

He stated his purpose directly.

"Other than that?"

Su Dingyu said with a smile.

Meng Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he answered the question irrelevantly:
"Everyone knows that human power is limited. Even if one is in a foreign land, one can only live for two or three generations. Therefore, the court needs to exist, and the titles and family property need to be passed down to ensure that future generations are prosperous and wealthy, and that the family heritage does not die out."

"This is the nature of living things, but for the truly powerful, they can enter and exit the underworld and live forever in the world. Titles and property are just passing clouds. The Su family only had titles five generations ago, and by that time, Senior Chonghe of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already entered the martial arts world."

He looked around at everyone:
"Although I am not talented, I have high aspirations. I want to be the best in martial arts, to be on par with all the seniors, and to be on par with the ancient immortals. Such 'glory and wealth' can be obtained with a wave of my hand, so why should I bother about it?"

Although the current lifespan of the Dharma body is extremely low, the existence of the Journey to the West world allows Meng Qi to see more hope.

"Arrogant..."

"arrogant……"

Everyone in the Su family was silent. Even the Golden Eyed Detective had never thought that Meng Qi would answer like this, revealing his attitude of treating the title as dirt.

It really lives up to its reputation!

"I don't know where my mother is buried. Please send someone to lead me to visit her grave."

Meng Qi retracted his gaze and said calmly.

After his and my insights into the world in the snow, his guesses about the legendary Thunder God and Ananda, and Shang Yi's previous guidance, Meng Qi became more and more determined to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and live forever.

"This may be the legendary sword of wisdom that cuts off distracting thoughts and strengthens one's heart!"

Meng Qi sighed with a rather ecstatic feeling in his heart.

Over the past thousands of years, the Dharmakaya has been declining and is now only countable. Even though Su Wuming has been at the half-step Dharmakaya stage for many years, it is still unknown whether he can successfully prove his Dao and ascend to heaven. Now, a young child dares to boast and claim that he has reached the Dharmakaya stage?

Throughout the ages, there are only two or three people who can achieve the first place in the list of people. Aren’t the vast majority trapped in external scenes?

He Jiu and Wang Siyuan were able to rise to fame overnight, but they didn't dare to make such big statements!

Therefore, in the hearts of everyone in the Su family, they only felt the madness coming towards them, but Su Ziyue's eyes were shining and full of admiration. In the eyes of a little girl of her age, the second brother was really unconventional, he despised the title and family property, had lofty goals, and was not like the children of the noble families around him who were busy with petty things. He was truly heroic and full of ambition!
This is what it means to be a mad swordsman!

Only in this way can you be number one on the human list!

Hearing Meng Qi's last words, Divine Might Marquis Su Li frowned slightly: "Absurd! Of course your mother is still buried in the same place!"

He thought Meng Qi meant that the Su family moved the graves to a bad place.

"I haven't been back for many years and I don't recognize the road anymore." Meng Qi said frankly. The more he dodged such things, the more likely people would become suspicious. Anyway, he had the excuse of being away for a few years.

Su Li glanced at the young man next to him and said, "Zihua, take your brother to pay respects."

This young man was in his twenties, with similar facial features to Su Li, but taller in stature. He had a gloomy temperament and was taciturn.

"Yes, father." Su Zihua's voice was soft and smooth like jade.

He nodded slightly and led Meng Qi out of the main house.

Before leaving the courtyard, Meng Qi vaguely heard Ke Weilan sneer: "Back home, instead of paying homage to the ancestors, he first wants to sweep the grave of his concubine. He is truly a good man of the Su family..."

Her hostility was the most obvious... Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully.

Along the way, Su Zihua spoke little as he led Meng Qi out of the mansion, took a carriage to the farm outside the city, and walked to the cemetery.

"It's right here..." Su Zihua pointed to a lonely grave.

This is the edge of the cemetery. Apart from this tomb, there is nothing else. Just as the horse-faced man described, the weeds have been cleared clean by the servants, which is quite thoughtful.

Looking at the word "Tang" on the tombstone, Meng Qi sighed, collected his mind, and solemnly paid homage to his physical mother. Thanks to her influence, he was able to catch the eye of his master. Otherwise, he would have died in the reincarnation mission because of the lack of teaching in reality and the slow progress in martial arts.

"Now that your bloodline has been cultivated successfully and is famous throughout the world, you should rest in peace... As Meng Qi bowed again and again, his green shirt moved slightly, and his mood became solemn.

Suddenly, he felt Su Zihua walking to his side and followed him to pay his respects.

"Be careful of Fifth Uncle." Su Zihua looked at the grave and seemed to be talking to himself, as softly as a mosquito or fly.

Fifth uncle? Golden Eyes Detective Su Yue? Meng Qi also did not turn his head, and slowly stood up: "Shouldn't it be Ke Weilan?"

Su Zihua was stunned when he heard that. He actually called him by his name. He was so arrogant and unruly!

Restraining his emotions, Su Zihua raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Her? You would be careful of her without me saying anything."

"She has gone crazy a long time ago. If your life story had not been exposed too early in the past few years and if your father had tried his best to keep it a secret from her, she would have done something crazy. But you don't have to worry about it in the capital of God."

Just as Meng Qi was about to ask again, Su Zihua had already straightened up, walked back to the carriage, and returned to his silent self, unwilling to say any more.

"He has a hidden illness and sometimes becomes crazy..." Looking at Su Zihua's back, Meng Qi frowned slightly and thought.

There was no conversation along the way, and Meng Qi returned to the main house of the Su family.

Inside the hall, everyone had taken their seats, but the one sitting at the head was not Marquis of Divine Power Su Li, but an old lady holding a dragon-headed cane.

She was Su Li's mother, Bai Jingluo, the daughter of the Bai family in Shendu. Her hair was still black and her face was wrinkle-free. If she hadn't been wearing dark clothes, almost like an old woman, no one would have thought she was an octogenarian. "Grandma..." Su Zihua bowed submissively, causing Mrs. Bai to frown slightly.

But she immediately turned her gaze to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi did not speak, but bowed with the courtesy of an elder.

"Good." Old Madam Bai suddenly praised, her voice also not showing her age. "Throughout the generations of the Su family, no one has ever topped the list. Seeing my great grandson like this, I can die with peace of mind. The bloodline of the Su family is no worse than anyone else's!"

Compared with Su Li and Su Yue, Old Madam Bai seemed more approachable and kind.

At this moment, Ke Weilan raised his head and said with dissatisfaction: "If my child is born smoothly, he may not be worse than him. No, he has the blood of both the Su family and the Ke family, so his aptitude should be better..."

Her tone was calm, but it gave Meng Qi a creepy feeling.

It was really hard to tell right from wrong about what happened back then, it was a mess... Meng Qi looked up at the magnificently decorated hall and felt a little eerie for no reason. The wealthy families were like deep seas, filled with so many dirty deeds.

Madam Bai said in a deep voice: "Wei Lan, don't mention the past anymore. No one wants accidents to happen..."

Before she finished her words, Meng Qi laughed and said, "Qualifications?"

Everyone present looked at him, wondering what he wanted to say.

"In terms of background, my uncle is a natural genius. He was able to combine internal and external forces at a young age, and now he is at the peak of external forces. The bloodline of the Tang family is no less than that of the Ke family."

Meng Qi seemed to want to make some arguments on behalf of Tang.

Xuan Bei...Su Yue, Su Li and others narrowed their eyes slightly.

Ke Weilan stood up, his eyes like fire, wanting to burn the person in front of him: "How can my Ke family be compared with a lowly servant and a small family?"

"A small family?" Meng Qi laughed. "Most of the noble families in the capital are obsessed with money and luxury, like frogs in a well, unable to see the heroes of the world. Each generation is decadent. Does the Ke family have any young people worth showing off now? It seems grand and glorious, but it's all show and no substance!"

Meng Qi did not tell anyone that Xuan Bei was about to attain the Dharmakaya. After all, the matter was of great importance. The magic master Han Guang was still in Shaolin Temple as Kong Wen. If he told anyone, something might happen in Shaolin Temple.

Ke Weilan's face twisted: "How dare you underestimate the masters of my Ke family?"

Meng Qi restrained his smile, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "What if I underestimate them?"

"I've said this, and they have to accept it!"

His tone was firm and decisive, without any evasion, which made Su Ziyu and others come back to their senses. The person in front of them was the number one on the current human list, the real strongest of the younger generation. As for those who have already become perfect half-step and outer scenes, they are already in a different realm, needless to say - if the Ke family had a similar person, they would have been on the human list long ago!
And most importantly, Su Ziyuan is not even twenty years old. At this age, at this level, with this strength, He Jiu, Wang Siyuan and others could not reach this level back then!
Ke Weilan's eyes were blazing with fire, his hands were clenched tightly, and the air around him suddenly solidified.

Meng Qi looked at her without any fear, but his focus was on observing the reactions of Su Yue and others. Since there was no way the Ke family could be resolved peacefully, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble and secretly observe the enemy.

Su Li was about to reprimand and persuade her as the head of the family, but he saw Mrs. Bai shaking her head slightly.

What does that mean? How can we allow them to clash? Su Li was startled at first, but then he realized that this was using the power of the Ke family to force Ziyuan to return home!

The Ke family has a master-level figure, one of the Eight Great Constables, who is extremely powerful within the Six Gates. If Ziyuan offends them, he will be in trouble in the future and will have difficulty moving forward. Although Xuan Bei is strong, he cannot always protect this abandoned disciple of Shaolin, especially since many things he does are just suppression and making things difficult for him. At that time, the Su family can provide protection and win his heart back.

Although the Su family is not as powerful as the Ke family, they at least have one of the most powerful detectives who has been operating in the Imperial Guard and the Six Gates for many years, and his influence should not be underestimated.

Is this a case of offending the Ke family's allies for a potential genius? Su Li narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at his half-brother, only to see that Su Yue was still smiling, with no idea in sight.

If everything goes well, in a dozen years, the Su family will have its own master...

Just as they were full of thoughts, hesitating and weighing the options, Ke Weilan had already taken a step forward, and a strong wind seemed to gather in the hall:
"Can you say that again!"

"Mother, my second brother is not..." Su Ziyue explained hurriedly.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder and someone patted her gently. She turned around and saw her second brother smiling calmly, without any panic.

"If you are not convinced, I will allow the young master of the Ke family to challenge you." Meng Qi said calmly, confronting the opponent head-on.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai's lip lines changed, as if she was smiling.

Suddenly, a servant rushed in: "My Lord, Madam, there is an invitation for the Second Young Master, inviting him to the dinner."

"Whose?" Su Li asked in a deep voice.

"It's Wang Hubu." The servant answered respectfully.

Su Li stood up suddenly: "Wang Hubu? The Wang Hubu who just entered the Political Affairs Hall recently?"

He hasn't been able to change his name for the time being.

This is the youngest master of the Zhoujunwang family. Not only is he a pillar of the great family, but he is also deeply trusted by the emperor!

——Although the Zhoujun Wang family, who followed the teachings of the sages, were also wary of the royal family and dissatisfied with their local authority, they were more trustworthy than other big families.

Wang Zai's father? Brother Wang Zai also came to the capital? Meng Qi was slightly surprised.

Before the servant could answer, another person came running over: "My Lord, Madam, the Marquis of Langya Mansion has sent an invitation, inviting the Second Young Master to the banquet."

"The Mansion of Marquis Langya?" Old Madam Bai couldn't help but whisper. When she was in her prime, it was the time when Old Master Ruan, the Marquis Langya, who was a half-step Dharmakaya, was in charge of the government affairs hall. She still remembered his majesty clearly, and it even left a shadow in her mind.

——All the major noble families have their own mansions in the Divine Capital, but Wang Zai’s father is not a legitimate son and is in a high position of power, so he invited them in his own name.

When she looked at Meng Qi again, her gaze was different. Even without the protection of the Su family, why would Su Ziyuan be afraid of the Ke family?

The Zhoujun Wang family and the Langya Ruan family seem to attach great importance to him...

I previously thought we were just acquaintances, but I didn't expect that he would invite me to a banquet as soon as he arrived in Beijing, which shows how much he values ​​me!
He has a clean family background and great potential. If he were to marry into the family or become a guest official, which family would not like him?
What is the little foodie doing... Meng Qi was a little confused, but he could clearly feel that the eyes of everyone in the hall looking at him were more shocked and cautious. Even Ke Weilan restrained his anger and watched in surprise.

Of course, there is also envy, jealousy and admiration.

The two servants held the invitation in their hands and lowered their heads tightly, seemingly following all the etiquette, but their eyes could not help but follow Meng Qi's shadow.

This is really too sensational, and I can't help but be surprised and panic!

As servants in the Marquis's mansion, they were not uncommon to receive invitations from various noble families and important officials. The Marquis was the deputy commander of the imperial guards, and the Fifth Master was one of the Eight Great Constables. If there was an important banquet, they would not be able to be bypassed.

But now, the second young master had just returned home, and the invitation from the Ruan family of Langya and the new vice-chancellor came to his door, mentioning the name. Everyone knew what this meant!

This is naked support!

It is a display of friendship between the two sides!

Otherwise, why choose today for the banquet?

It is shocking that the Second Young Master can get the full support of two major families!
"Marquis of Shenwei" Su Li's expression eased, and he even relaxed a little. The tense situation just now, his wife who was close to madness, and his arrogant and unruly son all gave him a headache. His mother's idea was good, but her vision was limited to the capital of gods, and it was short-sighted after all.

"Since the Langya Marquisate and Wang Canzheng have extended such an invitation, Ziyuan, please do not be impolite. If you are unable to attend either of them, be sure to write a handwritten letter of apology." He was happy to see this happen and changed the way he addressed Wang Zai as his father.

Meng Qi was in a headache. Which one should he go to?

He took the invitation and looked at it carefully, and found that the Ruan family's invitation did not specify the specific time, which means that they could come at any time, while Wang Zai's father's invitation clearly stated that it was a dinner party.

"Then let's go to the little foodie's house first and see if there is anything important..." He made the decision in an instant.

When he left the Su family's main house, he felt refreshed. The affairs of this family were really a mess, which made him annoyed and confused. He felt quite restrained and dragged down.

"It can be considered as the karma of your 'gift' of my body..."

Thinking of this, Meng Qi's mind suddenly became lively and agile. He became curious about Su Ziyuan and had the urge to look through his old house. (End of this chapter)
