High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

He had delicate features and eyes as calm as a deep pool.

He was just standing there casually, yet he gave off a feeling of looking down on all living beings.

Lin Mengyao looked up at the figure and was completely stunned.

This is... Master Chen?

So young?!

He looks only a year or two older than her, right?

And what about her?

At the peak of the Grandmaster level, one might be considered a genius among their peers, but in the face of true powerhouses, they are not even ants.

Lin Mengyao suddenly felt that she had wasted the past ten years or so.

Others are at the peak of Martial Saint in their early twenties, while she's at the peak of Grandmaster in her early twenties...

This gap is even bigger than the gap between her and an ant!

But for some reason, looking at that figure, she felt no jealousy, only a strange excitement.

It's like a fan meeting their idol.

The giant beast slowly descended.

When the figure was still tens of meters above the ground, it took a step and landed in front of the Lin family's gate.

Eleven figures followed closely behind, landing in unison.

The giant beast rapidly shrank in mid-air, transforming into a three-meter-tall "big dog" that followed Chen Yuan wagging its tail.

Lin Zuyao quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome, Chief Secretary Chen!"

The Lin family members behind him bowed in unison.

"Welcome, Director Chen!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"Elder Lin, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities."

Lin Zuyao straightened up, his face beaming with a smile as bright as a flower.

"It is an honor for the Lin family to have Chief Chen here! Please come in!"

He stepped aside to lead the way, his posture extremely respectful.

Lin Wei quickly stepped forward, her face beaming.

"Master Chen, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon!"

As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes for her daughter to come over quickly.

Lin Mengyao then came to her senses.

He quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"I...I have met with Chief Judge Chen..."

Chen Yuan nodded, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he possessed the cultivation of a Grandmaster at the peak, with a very stable foundation.

He's definitely a genius at that age.

He casually remarked, "Hmm, good foundation, keep up the good work."

Lin Mengyao's heart pounded when she heard this.

Lin Wei was both annoyed and amused to see her daughter like this.

This girl is a popular figure at the martial arts school; the line of suitors could stretch from the classroom to the school gate.

Why are you acting like a naive little girl who's never seen the world before?

She secretly gave Lin Mengyao a wink.

"Don't just stand there, talk to Chief Chen!"

Lin Mengyao noticed her mother's expression, but her mind went blank, and she had no idea what to say.

She just stood there dumbfounded, her face growing redder and redder.

Seeing this, Lin Wei quickly said, "Master, this is my daughter Mengyao. This girl has admired strong people since she was a child. She was so excited when she heard that you were coming that she couldn't sleep all night."

Lin Mengyao panicked: "Mom! I didn't..."

Lin Wei glared at her, and Lin Mengyao quickly shut up.

Chen Yuan saw this scene, but just smiled and didn't say anything.

......

At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped out from behind Lin Wei and respectfully clasped his hands in a salute.

"My name is Shen Qing. I greet Chief Chen."

Chen Yuan looked at him.

This is a very refined-looking man, around thirty years old, handsome, with a gentle demeanor and a perfectly measured smile.

She looks like the kind of person who is very good at talking and getting things done.

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Mr. Shen, you're too kind."

Lin Wei quickly introduced, "Master, this is my husband. He doesn't have much talent in martial arts; he's just an ordinary person who helps me manage some of the family's businesses."

Shen Qing wasn't embarrassed and added with a smile:

"Yes, I'm a gigolo. I won over Vera back then entirely with my looks and my sweet talk."

He spoke frankly, even with a hint of pride.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly. This person was quite interesting.

Lin Wei rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were full of laughter.

Chen Yuan saw it all and understood.

The couple had a very good relationship.

Although Shen Qing is not very capable, he was able to win the heart of Lin Wei, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, which clearly shows that he has something special about him.

Humorous, frank, and neither arrogant nor humble—this kind of person is indeed likable.

Compared to before, Lin Wei's ability to become the head of the Lin family must have been due to his advice and strategies.

......

The group chatted and laughed as they walked into the mansion.

Although the Lin family cannot compare to the Holy Venerable Mansion of Longyuan Mountain, it still occupies a hundred acres in Luodu City, with pavilions, towers, rockeries and streams, revealing the heritage of a great family.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Chen Yuan took his seat in the main position, with the Holy Dragon Guards standing on either side.

The shadow shrank to half a meter in size, squatted at Chen Yuan's feet, and stared longingly at the snacks on the table.

Lin Zuyao and Lin Wei sat to the left, while the core members of the Lin family stood respectfully to the side.

Lin Mengyao was also pulled to sit next to Lin Wei, and she would steal a glance at Chen Yuan from time to time before quickly looking away.

Chen Yuan took out an exquisite jade box from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Since this is your first visit, I brought a small gift as a token of my appreciation."

Lin Wei was taken aback and quickly waved her hand.

"Master, your presence alone is a tremendous honor; how could we let you go to such lengths..."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Take it."

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the jade box.

I opened it and took a look.

A pure white pill, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, lay quietly in the box, its surface adorned with nine clear golden patterns that shimmered with a faint light.

A mid-grade, ninth-tier healing pill!

As long as there is still a breath left, taking this pill can prolong life!

Lin Wei's brows furrowed as she recognized that this was a pill from the same batch as the Breakthrough Pill.

"Master, this...this is too precious! I cannot accept it!"

Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

"Keep it. I made it casually; it's not worth much."

Lin Wei knew that Chen Yuan was a woman of her word, and that refusing again would only seem pretentious.

"Well... thank you very much, Chief Chen. I'll accept it without hesitation."

She carefully put the jade box away, her awe of Chen Yuan deepening even further.

Lin Zuyao's smile widened even more.

The fact that Chen Yuan could give such an expensive gift shows that he really has a good impression of the Lin family!

Moreover, he had heard the news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: diplomatic missions from various countries had jointly requested an audience, but Chen Yuan simply dismissed them with two words: "No meeting."

Before long, Chen Yuan came to visit the Lin family.

......

The banquet began soon after.

A huge mahogany round table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Spirit beast meat, spirit vegetables, spirit fruits, and spirit wine that Lin Zuyao had treasured for many years were served one by one, each with a fragrant aroma.

Chen Yuan sat in the main seat, accompanied by Lin Zuyao and Lin Wei, while Shen Qing attentively poured wine for him.

Lin Mengyao sat next to her mother, eating slowly with her head down, occasionally stealing a glance at Chen Yuan.

And the shadow...

This guy has completely let himself go.

Although it has shrunk to half a meter in size, its appetite has not shrunk at all.

A plate of spirit beast meat was served, and it swallowed half of it in one gulp.

A plate of spiritual fruits was served, and it licked the plate clean.

"Delicious! So delicious! Boss, this chef's skills are just as good as ours!"

As Youying ate, he muttered to himself, his eyes already fixed on the next plate before he had even swallowed the food in his mouth.

The Lin family's servants were dumbfounded.

Is this... is this really a ninth-tier beast?

Why does it look like a starving ghost reincarnated?

Lin Zuyao, however, didn't care at all and instead grinned from ear to ear.

"I'm glad Lord Shadow likes it! Someone, bring another table! Uh, no, ten tables!"

With the Lin family's deep resources, no matter how much Youying eats, she won't go broke in a short time.

Upon hearing this, Youying's eyes lit up even more.

"Old Lin, you're a true friend! If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. As long as the boss agrees, I'll help you!"

Lin Zuyao laughed heartily.

"Thank you very much, Lord Shadow!"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but laugh at the scene; this guy was quite good at handling things.
