<h4>Chapter 1808: Chapter 1801: Sima Lingyun Arrives</h4>


    At the moment when the guests were busy talking, Lu Tianxing was walking across the red carpet with Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. It seemed that Jiang Tianbao had already prepared for their arrival, as the three were invited onboard without checking their invitation cards.


    Clearly, Jiang Tianbao had arranged everything in advance.


    "Mr. Lu, thank you for gracing us with your presence at my party today."


    Just as Lu Tianxing and hispanions boarded the yacht, a sudden voice emerged from nearby.


    Lu Tianxing smiled faintly upon hearing the voice and turned his head towards its source.


    A slightly overweight middle-aged man with a bright smile came into Lu Tianxing’s view.


    "Mr. Lu, I apologize for being tied up with some matters earlier and couldn’t greet you properly. I hope you don’t mind," Jiang Tianbao said as he approached Lu Tianxing.


    Lu Tianxing smiled lightly, "Lord Buddha, you’re too kind. I have only just arrived myself."


    Jiang Tianbao chuckled, ncing at Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru beside Lu Tianxing, and praised, "I’ve heard that Mr. Lu has some beautifulpanions. Seeing them today, they truly live up to their reputation."


    "Lord Buddha, you tter me."


    Lu Tianxing replied casually, "Zhiqing, Qian Ru, allow me to introduce Lord Buddha to you, the person I’ve spoken of."


    "Good evening, Lord Buddha."


    Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru smiled slightly and greeted Jiang Tianbao.


    While Jiang Tianbao and Lu Tianxing exchanged greetings warmly, everyone on the deck watched intently, their eyes filled with curiosity. Some, who’d never been to an underground boxing venue, were amazed by the scene.


    Sending a personal vehicle to fetch Lu Tianxing was one thing, but the fact Jiang Tianbao greeted Lu Tianxing personally upon his arrival and showed such respect was quite surprising.


    Although Jiang Tianbao kept a low profile in Qin Ind, those who attempted to trouble him in the past faced miserable ends. As a result, everyone knew that despite his seemingly nonexistent influence, his background was powerful, perhaps even stronger than the Qiu Family.


    Yet now, Jiang Tianbao, whose status surpassed even that of Qiu Tianrui, was being so deferential to Lu Tianxing. This was astonishing.


    Who is this man!


    Many wondered silently, realizing that a man whom even Jiang Tianbao respected must possess an extraordinary status. Befriending Lu Tianxing might elevate them to the ind’s elite,parable to the Qiu family’s standing.


    Unfortunately, they were unaware of Lu Tianxing’s identity. If they knew, they’d steer clear, knowing his notorious reputation in China.


    "By the way, Lord Buddha, where is Young Master Qiu? Didn’t you say you invited him?" Lu Tianxing asked Jiang Tianbao with a smile.


    Jiang Tianbao rubbed his head thoughtfully, "Young Master Qiu probably isn’t here yet. I was busy inside with preparations and didn’t notice. Should I call him?"


    "No need. He’s probably been dyed by something."


    Lu Tianxing waved his hand, wanting to say more but suddenly frowning as he sensed a familiar presence approaching.


    "Mr. Lu, is everything alright? Do you need assistance?" Jiang Tianbao asked immediately upon seeing Lu Tianxing’s frown.


    "Tianxing, what’s wrong?" Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru asked.


    "It’s nothing, just an old friend has arrived."


    Lu Tianxing smiled slightly, looking towards the deck below.


    An old friend?


    Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru appeared puzzled, knowing nothing of any old friends of Lu Tianxing on Qin Ind.


    Jiang Tianbao was equally surprised but refrained from questioning further, aware of the boundaries his position entailed.


    He silently followed Lu Tianxing’s gaze towards the deck below.


    Everyone watched as a vehicle with no emblem and ordinary tes approached from afar, stopping before the deck.


    The car door opened to reveal a handsome young man dressed in a ck dragon-embroidered traditional Chinese outfit, exuding an air of sophistication and possessing deep, intelligent eyes.


    In this world, regardless of one’s fine attire or handsome appearance, without a fitting demeanor, one might merely appear as a pretender.


    This young man, however, had an umon aura, radiating a serene presence as calm as the sea, invoking an unexinable feeling.


    "How is he here? Wasn’t he supposed to be in Beijing?" Bai Zhiqing eximed upon seeing the man.


    Lin Qianru shared Bai Zhiqing’s shock, their faces revealing uncontroble surprise.


    Lu Tianxing didn’t speak but looked intriguingly at the man. Howe he ventured to Qin Ind when his master was forcing him into seclusion to reach the middle-stage mythical level?


    Jiang Tianbao observed the reactions of Lu Tianxing and others closely, unable to resist asking, "Mr. Lu, he is...?"


    "Yanhuang Group leader—Sima Lingyun," Lu Tianxing answered casually.


    Jiang Tianbao’s face changed dramatically upon hearing Sima Lingyun’s name. Though he knew of Sima Lingyun’s status, their paths hadn’t crossed until now. Learning that the man arriving without a marked vehicle was Sima Lingyun stirred chaos in Jiang Tianbao’s mind.


    Sima Lingyun was indeed the leader of the Yanhuang Group, an esteemed position feared across China, with only a few daring to challenge him. The group’s purpose was curbing illegal martial artists; Sima Lingyun’s unexpected visit to Qin Ind, and his presence here, might mean he was targeting Lu Tianxing, intending to bring him to justice?
