Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Xiao Ming led Ye Chen and the others to the famous Taiping Hotel.

Ye Chen had only seen this place on TV before, and now that he was actually there, he still had a peculiar feeling.

The antique-style buildings give people a strong sense of history.

Stepping into the restaurant, one instinctively feels the urge to lower their voice.

Dongzi and Xiaoqiang seemed a little reserved, probably because it was their first time here.

Actually, most normal people would have this feeling when they come in.

It's a feeling of transcending social classes; being here gives you the illusion of being in high society.

Ye Chen adapted to his surroundings very quickly.

This is largely thanks to the many things he has experienced during this period.

Moreover, the people he came into contact with were all people with a certain social standing, such as Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xie.

So my horizons have gradually broadened.

Ultimately, it's because he now has a certain safety net, so he appears much calmer and more composed when faced with certain situations.

Xiaoming had booked a private room in advance, and the dishes were carefully arranged, so the food was served very quickly when they arrived.

The dishes here are quite exquisite, and they look expensive, which makes one's appetite very good!

It's perfect for taking photos and posting on social media.

Enjoying delicious food, listening to jazz, and experiencing a wonderful feeling of returning to the night-blooming jasmine.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Firstly, the dishes here are indeed very good and represent the local specialties.

Secondly, it had been a while since the roommates had gotten together; Dongzi and Xiaoqiang hadn't attended the last class reunion.

So they were all happy to see each other again.

When I'm happy, I tend to drink more, and when I drink, I tend to get drunk more easily.

After several rounds, apart from Ye Chen who was immune to all poisons, the other three guys were all under the influence of alcohol!

Xiao Ming was especially confused; this guy must have done it on purpose. In any case, the second half of the show was over...

Just like at their company gatherings before, the boss said he'd give out big red envelopes, but he got drunk and didn't end up giving them out...

Ye Chen opened an e-sports themed hotel, and by the time he had settled the three guys in, it was already 9 p.m.

Xiaoming is already asleep, so we'll have to deal with everything tomorrow.

Dongzi and Xiaoqiang were still somewhat conscious, but they went to bed and fell asleep immediately.

Xiaoqiang even climbed up to the top bunk, just like he did in his university dormitory.

These are all muscle memories etched into the bones.

Looking at the group of people fast asleep, Ye Chen noticed the four high-spec computers in the room and decided to play some games.

After all, when we were young, we all wanted to have a computer that didn't lag.

But after he turned on the computer, he stared at the screen for a long time, not knowing what to do.

He doesn't know when it started, but he began to feel that games were optional.

Finally, Ye Chen simply sat down on a small sofa and began to cultivate.

The next morning, Ye Chen struggled to get up from the sofa. Damn it, he had fallen asleep while cultivating again.

He didn't even know how he fell asleep; he opened and closed his eyes and it was already the next day.

Ye Chen twisted his stiff neck and lower back and started practicing Tai Chi.

As each movement unfolds smoothly, the stiffness in the body disappears.

At this moment, Xiaoming mumbled sleepily, "Grandpa, what are you doing in my room?"

Ye Chen glanced at the sleepy-eyed Xiao Ming without stopping his movements and said casually, "My dear grandson, guess why I'm in your room!"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, Xiao Ming immediately became more alert, sat up, and brushed his somewhat greasy hair!

"Xiao Chen, holy crap, how did we get here? This is an e-sports hotel, right?" Xiao Ming looked around in surprise.

Ye Chen curled his lip: "Heh, why do you think we're here? I was waiting for you to invite me to wash my feet, and I didn't even dare to put my feet in the water. And you just blacked out, huh!"

"Uh, hehehe, it was an accident, an accident!" Xiaoming scratched his head awkwardly.

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "You know Tai Chi too? The movements are just like my grandpa's! I thought it was him!"

Ye Chen's face darkened: "What do you mean, 'like your grandfather'? I suspect you're insulting me!"

Xiao Ming's eyes widened: "Holy crap, my grandpa is the vice president of the Shanghai Martial Arts Association and the president of the Tai Chi Association! Tell me, how am I insulting you? I'm praising you, okay?!"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback: "Your grandfather is such a big shot? How come I've never heard you mention him before?"

Xiao Ming raised his chin: "Of course! My grandpa was a national champion before, but he's always been very modest!"

"Oh, okay, then I'll take that as a compliment!" Ye Chen continued to perform Tai Chi with fluid movements.

Xiao Ming watched Ye Chen's movements carefully and nodded: "It's so similar, so very similar! How come I didn't know you could do Tai Chi!"

Ye Chen replied calmly, "Everyone has hobbies. But you, they say a tiger has no dog grandsons. Your grandfather is the president of the Tai Chi Association, haven't you inherited any of his skills?!"

"Hey, I'm not cut out for this!" Xiao Ming waved his hand.

At this moment, Ye Chen finished his punch and stood by the east window, looking into the distance.

"What are you looking at?" Xiaoming asked, puzzled.

"Look at the planes, wake those two up, they'll get sleepy if they sleep in all day!" Ye Chen said without turning his head.

Several seconds later, Ye Chen slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The spiritual energy was thinner than on the mountain, but for him, the amount he absorbed through breathing exercises was not much, and it was enough for his cultivation.

In the morning, Xiaoming brought Ye Chen and the other two group members to meet.

One is named Zhou Chao, and the other is named Huang Baishan. They are not as handsome as Ye Chen, nor as well-built as Xiao Ming. They are also average-looking people who would not attract attention in a crowd.

Since everyone had been bragging in the same group for several days, they weren't too awkward when they met in person, and things quickly became lively.

The five groomsmen have now all gathered.

"Let's go, Yanzu, let's try on the best man outfits!" Xiaoming led everyone to his house.

Aside from Zhou Chao and Huang Baishan, this was the first time Ye Chen and the other two had visited Xiao Ming's house.

Dongzi couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, Xiaoming, you were actually a rich kid! You really knew how to hide it!"

"Hey, let me correct you, I'm a third-generation rich kid!" Xiao Ming said cheekily.

Dongzi: "..."

Xiao Qiang sighed slightly, "Alright, you'd better not correct me anymore, or my Dao heart will collapse!"

Ye Chen and his group did not see Xiao Ming's parents; they were probably out busy with other matters.

However, Xiaoming's grandfather was drinking tea at home.

He looked to be around 70 years old, with a thick head of white hair. He was dressed in a white martial arts uniform, with an upright posture, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

"Hehe, hello there! Come, come, thank you for your hard work, have a cup of tea first!" Xiaoming's grandfather greeted them warmly.

"Grandpa, you're already familiar with these two, so I won't introduce them. These three are my college roommates!" Xiaoming introduced Ye Chen and the other two to his grandfather.

Grandpa Ming glanced around, and finally his gaze settled on Ye Chen. He couldn't help but nod, "Not bad, not bad, you all look quite energetic!"

"Grandpa, you don't know, Ye Chen is also quite good at Tai Chi!" Xiao Ming said with a smile.

"Oh~ really?" Grandpa Xiaoming's eyes lit up.
