My second son is too arrogant. He's suffered two losses in the past few days, which is actually a good thing for him.

After all, there are quite a few truly ruthless people in the martial arts world.

But Chen Yuan's talent was simply too extraordinary; he could apply the boxing techniques he had just learned.

This person is truly a prodigy!

"Young Master, Gentlemen Lü, this is crispy roast goose that the kitchen just made. The Master asked me to bring a portion over for you to try!"

At this moment, Butler Pei walked over with a plate and glanced lightly at his young master, as well as Lü Ren and Lü Ci.

He couldn't help but admire his young master's skill in coaxing people; in no time, he had made the bruised and swollen child smile from ear to ear.

On the plate was a crispy roast goose with a golden-red color. The goose had already been sliced, its skin as thin as paper and translucent, with a rich aroma and extremely tender meat, demonstrating the chef of Fushunzhai's exceptional Cantonese culinary skills.

"It smells so good! Brother, this roast goose seems even more delicious than the ones we've had before."

Saliva dripped from Lü Ci's mouth; the roast goose at the previous restaurant didn't smell this good at all.

Moreover, he hadn't eaten anything yet, and the fight with Chen Yuan had taken a toll on his energy. The aroma of roast goose made his stomach rumble.

"Of course, this was made by the head chef of Fushunzhai. That chef's Cantonese cuisine skills are extremely profound. Besides this crispy roast goose, the stir-fried beef noodles are also a must-try! You should all try them in a bit."

Chen Yuan chuckled.

The chef at Fushunzhai is incredibly skilled; even the gluttonous Fatty raves about the crispy roast goose, going there at least three to five times a month before he's satisfied.

Of course, these are not important.

Most importantly, his relationship with Lü Ci has basically turned from negative to positive; it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

"Brother Yuan, let me try it!"

Lu Ci was also quite curious; Chen Yuan had described it so eloquently, but he wondered what it actually tasted like.

So he picked up his silver chopsticks, added a piece of crispy goose meat, dipped it in plum sauce, and put it in his mouth.

This goose meat is not only golden-red and glossy, but also plump and full of gravy, with a rich, oily texture.

The skin, bone, and meat remain connected yet separate, falling easily into the mouth. The skin is crispy and fragrant, the meat is smooth and delicious, and the bones are soft and flavorful.

Lu Ci was a little dumbfounded; this was too delicious.

Although the Lü family was a family of extraordinary individuals, in terms of wealth, they were far inferior to a true merchant family like Chen Yuan's. Therefore, in terms of eating well, they were indeed not as good as Chen Yuan.

This is also why Chen Yuan's adoptive father didn't want him to become an Outcast. Not only is it easy to make enemies, but one also can't escape birth, aging, sickness, and death.

"Eat as much as you like, don't be shy with me."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Anyway, it was his father who paid for the chef, so it's okay for him to use it as a favor.

"This kid has the second son completely under his control."

Lu Ren stared at Chen Yuan, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

His interest in Chen Yuan grew even stronger.

Swish!

Just then, a black cat jumped into the yard. It was none other than She Yingying's cat, and it had a note in its mouth.

"It should be called Wuyuan. Could it be that Sister She wants to see me about something?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Could it be Old Man Wang looking for him?

Speaking of which, people from Quanxing have started entering Hangzhou in the past few days, and some of them might be old man Wang's friends.

"Meow!"

The black cat gently jumped into Chen Yuan's arms and put the note down.

"Oh? It really is Old Wang. The note says he has something to do tomorrow morning, so he doesn't want me to go. He wants me to go in the afternoon instead. That's a bit unexpected."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the note.

I wonder what this old man is up to. Could it be that someone he knows is going there?

"Brother Yuan, is this black cat your pet?"

Lu Ci, his mouth greasy from eating, looked up in confusion. This cat seemed a little different; it seemed to possess a special kind of energy. Clearly, this was no ordinary black cat.

It looks a bit like a raccoon, but it's completely black.

"Is this the ability of a beast master? This young master of the Chen family seems to be quite special."

Lu Ren stared at Chen Yuan and the black cat, his eyes flashing.

This young master of the Chen family seems to be hiding many secrets.

"Young Master, when did you get a cat?"

Butler Pei, who was standing to the side, was also a little confused. The black cat looked quite big and probably didn't belong to his young master.

Why are they so close to his young master?

"Steward Pei, this is a stray cat I fed on my way to school. It's probably hungry, that's why it came to me."

Chen Yuan shrugged and then placed a piece of crispy goose meat near Wu Yuan's mouth.

"Meow!"

Wu Yuan swallowed the crispy goose meat in one gulp, a hint of enjoyment visible on its cat face. It even affectionately rubbed its round little head against Chen Yuan's chest.

"This little thing is so cute, no wonder everyone likes to keep cats."

Chen Yuan gently pinched Wu Yuan's little head, and suddenly the colorless and transparent Qi in his body flowed out and entered Wu Yuan's body.

A subtle connection seems to have formed between the person and the cat.

"Ok?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback.

No way?

Could it be that he has the talent of a beast master?

"Meow!"

However, Wu Yuan leaped out of Chen Yuan's arms and jumped over the wall.

After a hearty meal and drinks.

"Brother Yuan, what a pity! I haven't finished hearing the story of 'The Legend of the White Snake' yet! I also want to know if Xu Xian married any of those girls?"

Lu Ci looked depressed.

He was completely captivated by Chen Yuan's version of "The Legend of the White Snake" that Chen Yuan had previously described.

"It's alright, Lü Ci. It's not like we won't have a chance to meet. When that time comes, I'll talk to you properly. Don't worry, we'll meet someday."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

One has to admire the addictive nature of online literature; this kid seems to be completely obsessed.

Fortunately, they will still be able to meet again in the future.

After all, he couldn't possibly inherit his father's business and become a wealthy businessman.

"Brother Chen Yuan, then we'll have to meet again next time. We can try our skills out then!"

Lu Ren revealed a cunning smile.

He was very interested in Chen Yuan's methods, but unfortunately he didn't want to bully the weak, so he didn't actually fight Chen Yuan.

Speaking of which, that little monk was quite interesting.

"Brother Lü, then I look forward to it."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

He also wanted to spar with Lü Ren, but he knew that his current Qi was definitely no match for Lü Ren's, so he could only give up for the time being.

He was quite curious about how far Zhang Zhiwei had progressed.

"You two little devils, come back with me now, Mr. Chen. Thank you for your hospitality this time. Next time you come to our area, I will definitely do my best to be a good host."

Lu Tian also looked at Chen Yuan's father, Boss Chen, and clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

Then he glanced at Chen Yuan again.

This kid was able to defeat Lü Ci so easily; he must have exceptional talent. I just heard Boss Chen say that Chen Yuan only learned some body-strengthening techniques from Zuo Ruotong.

But it doesn't look like it. It's obvious that it has learned powerful boxing techniques, somewhat like the style of Yanwutang.

This kid is interesting.

"Mr. Lü, then I'll be troubling you then."

Mr. Chen politely cupped his hands in greeting, then glared at Chen Yuan.

This kid seems to be hiding something, which is a bit hard for him to figure out.

He didn't want this kid to become an extraordinary person, because then he would be ruthless and brave, causing him to bury his son, since the Chen family only had this one descendant left.

"Why is this old man glaring at me? What did I do to offend him? Hey, isn't this old man too strict?"

Chen Yuan silently complained.

But they dared not defy their father's authority.

I'm still young, and I still have to rely on my cheap dad for a living.

"Brother Yuan, let's have another match next time! I definitely won't lose to you so easily!"

Lu Ci turned around and said loudly.

"Phew, I've had quite a haul today. The Eight Deceptions that evil immortal taught me, combined with Bajiquan and Piguazhang, are quite formidable."

Moreover, the art of using talismans is quite interesting. I remember that this art originated from the talismanic horse technique used by Dai Zong, the Swift-Footed Warrior, in the novel *Water Margin*. Therefore, the people who came this time should include that person called Teacher Huang.
