Chapter 455: Chapter 281: The Heaven-Dominating Emperor Who Decides All Ages Alone

Old Chen considered many possibilities, including being rejected and so on, but he never expected that just after he finished his speech, he would be invited to a private room for tea by the so-called "Zixiao Palace Master."

"Mr. Chen, I’ve heard so much about you!"

A middle-aged man with a wealthy demeanor, who looked very friendly, greeted him with a smile.

"Uh, and you are?"

Old Chen swore to the heavens that he truly didn’t know this person in front of him, nor his purpose for meeting him.

"I’m Wang Xuebing. I’m a bit older than you, Mr. Chen. If you don’t mind, you can just call me Brother Wang..."

Old Wang was very enthusiastic, and after leading Old Chen into a very private tea room, he found a topic to start a conversation with him.

Through their conversation, Old Chen learned some information.

This Wang Xuebing was a local real estate developer in Jiangning. Although he kept a low profile, his assets were in the tens or hundreds of billions.

Why did he know Old Chen?

It was because the large house Chen Ba bought for Old Chen was actually a development by Wang Xuebing’s company.

In other words, even though Old Chen and Chen Ba had never met Wang Xuebing, Old Wang was quite familiar with them.

Of course! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

His company’s development was a high-end property with prices reaching tens of millions. Not many people in the whole of Jiangning could afford it, so he definitely had knowledge of such scarce customer resources.

Old Wang also loved playing games, but he was usually busy with work and had little time to play games to relax...

Therefore, he could only play some games that didn’t require long hours and could boost you up by spending money.

That was until Tianba Studio appeared out of nowhere!

The games under Tianba Studio didn’t require you to spend long hours on them, making them perfectly suitable for a busy person like him.

Especially the game he was playing, "Cultivation Fantasy," where there was no other game like it under the heavens. Players just needed to log in, start it, and then leave it running in the background.

Old Wang really loved it.

Because he liked "Cultivation Fantasy" so much, he specifically established this restaurant called "Zixiao Palace" to host Fellow Daoists from all over and engage in discussions.

Of course!

All of this information was actively shared by Wang Xuebing. As for whether it was true or not, Old Chen had no way to verify it.

But he wasn’t concerned about that; at the moment, he was just curious about what Old Wang’s true intentions were for inviting him into this private room. It couldn’t just be for tea, could it?

What he said earlier was probably just an icebreaker to bring them closer.

This person was definitely holding something back, something he couldn’t say in front of everyone, so he invited him for a private chat.

As it turned out, Old Chen was right.

Wang Xuebing didn’t invite him just for tea; he had come with a very specific purpose.

After feeling that their conversation had warmed up enough, his true intentions began to show, as he obliquely asked about information concerning "Chen Ba" under Old Chen’s curious gaze.

"Chen, how old is your son? Is he married yet... Oh my, at this age and not married yet, you haven’t been urging him?"

"Urging him?"

Old Chen awkwardly chuckled, finding Old Wang quite humorous. For this Zixiao Palace Dao Discussion Conference, he even used the nickname "I Want to Hold Grandson" to participate—how is that not urging?

He had no idea how many times he had urged marriage over the years; the problem was, urging didn’t work!

Chen Ba was as tough as old leather. Every time Old Chen urged him, he would retort, "You have to have someone to marry first, right? Who should I marry?"

"Kids are like that..."

Old Wang, hearing this, suppressed his inner joy and waved his hand with a deliberately modest demeanor: "My kid says the same thing every time. Whenever I urge her, she’s very impatient, saying things like it’s not urgent, she’s still young, and so on."

So that’s where the conversation was leading?

Previously not understanding the implications of Wang Xuebing’s words, Old Chen now had clarity.

It turns out Old Wang had his eyes on Chen Ba and wanted him as a son-in-law!

"Oh, Brother Wang, how many kids do you have, and how old are they now?"

"I married late and only have one daughter, her name is Wang Ya, and she’s almost thirty..."

Now that things had been spelled out, Wang Xuebing had no time for pretense. Even if he didn’t say it outright, Old Chen would probably guess his intentions.

Being straightforward wasn’t embarrassing at all, especially since Old Chen wasn’t any better with his urging-game ID, much more aggressive than Wang Xuebing’s tactics.

"Here’s the thing..."

Wang Xuebing didn’t hide it, openly sharing that about seven or eight years ago, while she was still in college, his daughter had a campus romance.

Having only the one daughter, Wang Xuebing cherished her dearly, so he investigated the background of the male student.

"They weren’t a good match!"

Even though this was a personal matter, not to be shared with outsiders like Old Chen, Wang Xuebing talked about it anyway.

The boy was the typical poor guy, while Wang Ya was a top-tier wealthy beauty. Their campus romance was directly thwarted by Wang Xuebing, who broke them up.

"One of my daughter’s dresses would take him ten years of hard work to afford, and he was too stubborn to accept becoming a dependent... I still believe breaking them up was the right thing to do."

Wang Xuebing sighed and said, "But my daughter, Xiaoya, was very resentful towards me because of this. Of course, I had anticipated she might blame me when I did it, so that wasn’t surprising."

But he underestimated how much this affected his daughter; a sweet first love indeed is a hurdle not easily bypassed.
