Chapter 025: The Old Shang Yuande of the Hidden World
The crowd of onlookers parted on both sides, only to see an old man with sharp eyes, walking slowly from the outside with a cane.
Every step he takes, he seems to be weak and powerless, but his steps are steady and rhythmic.
Anyone with a little eyesight can see that this old man is extraordinary.
What a powerful aura.
"I didn't expect him to come out." Xia Yueshan, who was watching the battle from a high place, was slightly surprised.
"Boss, who is this old man?" Leng Yan was a little curious.
"The Shang family is old, Shang Yuande." Xia Yueshan's expression was solemn.
Shang Yuande and his father Xia Weiguo are figures of the same era, and it is said that they have not appeared for a long time.
There are also rumors that he has died a long time ago.
I never thought that I would appear at today's banquet.
Shang Yuande apprenticed to a master in his early years and learned martial arts.
Later, he returned to the family and assisted the owner of the merchant family at that time, and made great contributions.
The business can have the current glory, he is very credited.
It was also at that time that he became the patriarch of the merchant and had great authority.
After retiring after his success, he never coveted power, and even though his family was rich, he still insisted on penance.
On weekdays, few people can see him, and even those in the family want to see him.
In the past few years, he would appear on some large-scale occasions from time to time, and by the way, he would mention the descendants of the family.
But in recent years, almost no one has heard from him again.
Everyone thought that he had passed away, but the merchant kept it a secret.
Those rumors were directly self-defeating because of his appearance today.
Leng Yan's gaze stayed on Shang Yuande.
She was shocked and said: "I didn't expect that the merchant would have such a powerful number one person in secret." ”
"Haha." Xia Yueshan laughed loudly, "I said that businesses are not just as simple as they appear on the surface. ”
"In other words, among the five wealthy families in Jingjiang, any one has its own heritage."
"And this Shang Yuande is just the tip of the iceberg revealed by the merchants."
Leng Yan's eyes were deep, she had been following Xia Yueshan for so long, and it was the first time she had heard of these things.
It seems that my understanding of the world is still too shallow and one-sided.
At this time, Xia Yueshan suddenly asked, "How long do you think that kid can hold on to his hands?" ”
After thinking about it seriously, Leng Yan shook his head.
"I don't know, I haven't seen the old man of the merchant make a move."
"But I've fought with Ye Qiu."
"I feel like they're both very good."
"At my level, I'm not qualified to speculate on their strength."
Leng Yan was indeed telling the truth, the last time she taught Ye Qiu, she was easily subdued.
She couldn't understand Ye Qiu's true ability at all, let alone judge the other party.
And the old man of the merchant who just appeared has never seen him make a move.
If she was judged only by her aura, she would not have reached that realm.
"In that case, let's wait and see." Xia Yueshan looked down with interest.
Among the onlookers in the banquet hall, there are many older generations.
Of course, they will not be unfamiliar with this merchant family elder who is hidden behind the scenes.
It's just that Shang Yuande's appearance still caused a commotion.
"I didn't expect him to be alive."
"What kind of wind is blowing today, even Shang Yuande, who hasn't shown up for many years, has appeared?"
Some people who are familiar with Shang Yuande's identity and personality are surprised by this.
"Hehe, it is said that today's protagonist, the eldest young master of the merchant, is standing behind this Shang Yuande."
"This time the merchant and the Xia family got married, and he Shang Yuande came out to support his favorite juniors, and there seems to be no problem."
Someone analyzed.
"But he seems to have a big opinion of the boy who was beaten."
"Cut, what kind of beating, it's clear that the kid is beating them alone." Someone corrected.
"Well, it seems like that."
"But that kid will soon be out of luck."
"Why?" Some people are puzzled.
"Listen to my grandfather, Shang Yuande knows martial arts, and he is very powerful, and few people can live a few moves in his hands."
"As soon as he makes a move, won't that kid have to be beaten?"
It was a young man in a suit who spoke.
His family background can barely squeeze into the upper circle of Jingjiang, so he knows some secrets that ordinary people don't know.
"I'll go, such a cow?" When others heard this, they were shocked.
"Of course, don't look at the old man now, if you look closely, you will find that his body is still healthy."
"At his age, if he hadn't studied hard every day, would he have this spirit?"
The young man said eloquently: "How to say, the old man is also one of the clan elders who has been worshiped by the merchant for many years, and he is a real martial arts master. ”
"That kid dared to beat the merchant's person in public, and he was messing around at the banquet, which was undoubtedly slapping the merchant's face."
"Since Old Man Shang appeared at this time, it means that he is very angry, and that kid is afraid that he will not be able to eat and will leave."
The young man expounded his opinion, causing the people around him to nod frequently, and they all thought he was right.
Still, there are people who say the opposite.
A middle-aged man with a big belly retorted: "I don't think so." ”
"You've seen it, that kid is very good. With one enemy, he has the upper hand, which shows that his strength is quite good. ”
The young man looked disdainful, "What about being awesome?" ”
"It's just a fledgling stunned young man, in front of a real master like Old Man Shang, I guarantee that I can't even get my hands back."
The middle-aged man smiled, "Whatever, I'm here to attend the banquet anyway, what does the dispute between them have to do with me?" ”
"yes." Someone agreed, "I originally thought it was just a small engagement banquet, but I didn't expect it to be a good show, and it was really enjoyable." ”
Hearing the voices of the people around him, Shang Yuande's expression never changed.
He moved forward at a constant pace, one step at a time.
The ups and downs of each step are just right for people's breathing.
One step at a time, it seems to be light and fluttering, but in fact it is down-to-earth and steady, with hidden strength.
"What a mysterious pace." Leng Yan secretly admired.
"See, this is called a master." Xia Yueshan was full of confidence in the old man's ability.
I remember the last time I saw Shang Yuande, his aura was not so calm, and I didn't expect to see it again, and the realm of this hidden old man was a little stronger.
However, Ye Qiu didn't seem to see that Shang Yuande was very powerful, and actually shouted at him: "Hey, old man, are you going to be nosy?" ”
"Old man?" Not only Shang Yuande was stunned, but all the people present who knew his identity were stunned at the same time.
This kid's guts are too fat, and he dares to call the old hermit clan of the merchant like this, it is simply a crazy temptation on the verge of death!
