Chapter 708: Chapter 386: Gathering and Current Strength_3

Second Uncle looked at Vermilion Bird more and more, feeling that this person was somewhat offbeat.

In his heart, he pondered silently,

once the gathering was over, he would make Chen Sheng cut down on his interactions with these questionable characters.

He only had this one nephew, and it wouldn’t do for him to be led astray.

As for what Second Uncle was thinking,

Vermilion Bird naturally had no clue.

On the contrary, he was quite enthusiastically introducing the other two people at the table.

“This is Li…Li Shangcao.”

This was a burly middle-aged man.

“And this here is Sun Erkai.”

This individual was a gaunt old man.

During the introductions,

Vermilion Bird was stared at with meaningful glances by both Li Wuji and Sun Yihe.

But as if oblivious, he seemed quite satisfied with the names he had concocted.

Looking at the two older gentlemen and one younger man at the table,

Second Uncle’s expression became even more peculiar, naturally void of any desire to make further conversation.

On the other hand, sitting by his side, Chen Jianwen,

looking at Sun Yihe and Li Wuji, grew more puzzled.

Why did he feel like… he had seen these two people somewhere before?

But as for where exactly, he couldn’t seem to recall.

He could only frown tightly, ruminating over this while listening to his father continual instructions on how to persuade Chen Sheng.

Soon,

the gathering that lasted for hours was nearing its end.

Some who were not well-acquainted said their farewells to Chen Sheng and directly left.

Now remaining were only,

Chen Jianwen and his son, as well as the high-level members of the Martial Arts Association.

After Chen Sheng finished up his tasks at hand, he directly picked up a chair and sat down at the table.

“This here is my cousin.”

“Please take good care of him in the future.”

Before the others could respond,

Chen Sheng patted Chen Jianwen’s shoulder.

It was clearly a gesture implying he was entrusting his cousin’s care to them.

And the surrounding high-level Martial Arts Association members responded in kind.

“Certainly, certainly.”

“Absolutely no problem!”

Huh?

Chen Jianwen and his father were a bit stunned.

Wasn’t this situation a bit.. turned on its head?

Hadn’t they come here today to take care of Chen Sheng, to show him the right path?

How had it completely reversed now?

“So, Old Li,”

“you were asked to show up at the opening ceremony of last training and you refused.

“Now look what happened, nobody recognizes you.”

Seeing the two of them confused,
