"Xu Sang, it's good to see you again. I'm also glad that you're safe and sound." Miyamoto stood in front of Xu Taiping, smiling as she bowed and said.
"I'm also very happy to see you again. From the looks of it, you seem to have obtained something in China!" Xu Taiping laughed.
"Yes, before I came to China, I did not have a clear understanding of Chinese martial arts. I always felt that our Sky Emperor Palace was already a martial arts temple, but now that I am in China, I know how insignificant the Sky Emperor Palace is to a Chinese martial arts forest!" Gong Ben Ying said seriously.
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten by the gods?" Xu Taiping laughed.
"The God of Heaven's Master told me that you can only become greater if you look at your own insignificance." Gong Ben Ying said.
"The Empyrean God is much stronger than his junior apprentice-brother." Xu Taiping laughed.
"Xu Sang, I'm actually a little curious." Gong Ben Ying said.
"Curious about what?" Xu Taiping asked.
"God of Heaven's Master once said that Zhao Qingshan was the strongest person in this world. Even God of Heaven's Master was no match for her, so how did you manage to escape from him?" Gong Ben Ying asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe my life is better." He did not mention anything about his mother. In fact, only he and Liu Ke had known that his mother was still alive.
"Maybe it's true!" Gong Ben Ying nodded in agreement.
"Oh yeah, that day you eavesdropped that Zhao Qingshan was going to look for me, what happened? Did you tell anyone? " Xu Taiping asked.
"I told my God of Heaven master. "I don't have any friends in China, and I can't guarantee that there won't be anyone from Zhao Qingshan in the Chinese Martial Arts Association. So, I don't dare to tell anyone else." Gong Ben Ying said.
"Did you tell the gods?" Xu Taiping gaped for a moment.
Actually, there had always been one thing that puzzled Xu Taiping, and that was why his mother suddenly appeared that day.
Logically speaking, even if she was taken hostage, it would still be unlikely for her to appear, because with her current strength, it would be impossible for the rebel army to harm her. Her appearance seemed to mean that she had gone straight for Zhao Qingshan's heart, which meant that she probably knew that Zhao Qingshan wanted to kill her, but very few people knew that Zhao Qingshan wanted to kill her.
Xu Taiping hadn't been able to figure it out for a long time. Now that he heard Gong Ben Ying's words, Xu Taiping suddenly thought of something. Could it be that the God of Heaven had told his mother?
But how could the Empyrean God possibly know his mother?
"I told the God of Heaven Master." Gong Ben Ying nodded.
"Did the Empyrean God say anything?" Xu Taiping asked.
"God of Heaven's Master said that everything will be decided by the heavens." Gong Ben Ying said.
Xu Taiping smiled, and said, "Maybe it's as your master said, everything will be decided by the heavens. The heavens didn't let me die, so I survived. Cherry Blossom, long time no see. Why don't you go have a meal? "
"Alright!"
Xu Taiping took Liu Keheng and the others to lunch with Miyamoto. After that, Miyamoto was forced to continue cultivating, so she bid Xu Taiping farewell and left.
5: 30 PM.
Zhou Weidao walked out of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association alone.
He was a staff member of the China Martial Arts Association. To him, the China Martial Arts Association treated him like a company's employee. He was different from the five permanent members. The five permanent members were equivalent to shareholders, and he was more like a "ceo".
After walking out of the China Martial Arts Association's Zhou Weidao walked into the parking lot and got into his Tesla car.
"Take me to Yiyuan restaurant." Zhou Weidao said.
"Alright." Tesla's AI system replied.
Afterwards, the car automatically drove out of the parking lot and headed towards the Ocean City's Yi Yuan Restaurant.
An hour later, the car arrived at Yi Yuan Restaurant.
Zhou Weidao alighted from the car and saw Xu Taiping, Liu Kexin, and the others walking towards him.
"Secretary-General, you're finally here!" Xu Taiping smiled and held Zhou Weidao's hand.
"How could I dare not attend President Xu's invitation? However, the Chinese Martial Arts Association didn't get off work until 5: 30, so I came a bit late. I'm really sorry!" He came to this restaurant this afternoon precisely because Xu Taiping had called him earlier, saying that he would treat him to a meal alone here.
These two words alone brought too many associations with Zhou Weidao, so he didn't greet anyone after work and directly came here.
The Yi Yuan Restaurant could not be considered as a high-class restaurant. The restaurant was a little out of the way, but because of this, people who knew each other seldom came to eat here. It was a good place to discuss things.
Xu Taiping held Zhou Weidao's hand and led him into the restaurant enthusiastically, then went to the 338 chartered room on the third floor.
The room wasn't big. There was a round table in the middle of the room that could fit about seven or eight people.
"Waiter, you can serve the dishes now!" Xu Taiping told the waiter at the side, and then pulled Zhou Weidao to the side of the main seat, saying, "Come, have a seat."
"No, no, no. How can I be the one to sit on this chair? President Xu, please sit!" Zhou Weidao quickly said.
"You're welcome. Take a seat!" Xu Taiping smiled as he pushed Zhou Weidao onto the main seat.
Zhou Weidao struggled a few times, but couldn't free himself from Xu Taiping's grasp at all. He could only helplessly sit at the main seat.
Xu Taiping sat down next to Zhou Weidao, and then Liu Keheng and the others also sat down.
"Actually, I have long since heard of the achievements of Secretary-General Zhou. To be honest, I am very surprised and also very emotional!" Xu Taiping said.
"Oh? My deeds? What sort of deeds have I done? " Zhou Weidao asked in surprise.
"Secretary Zhou, you can be said to be the Chief Steward of the entire Chinese Martial Arts Association. How would those martial arts people know how to operate an association? If the Chinese Martial Arts Association did not have the Secretary General Zhou, it would not have developed to such a stage. Look, the current Chinese Martial Arts Association is so strong, even KBX companies would not dare to face it head on. Impossible, the Chinese Martial Arts Association can be said to have this kind of strength entirely because of your contributions, Secretary-General Zhou, I also heard that the strength evaluation system was originally contacted by Secretary-General Zhou and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the end, under the guidance of Secretary-General Zhou, the cooperation was established, and this is a career that benefits the entire world. Xu Taiping said seriously.
Hearing Xu Taiping's words, the people sitting across from him lowered their heads in embarrassment. They felt that Xu Taiping was being too boastful, too shameless. People like them, who were upright and honest, found it a bit embarrassing to be in the company of someone as flattering as Xu Taiping.
"President Xu, don't say it like that. Since I have the salary given to me by the Chinese martial arts association, I have to work for him, and that's all to be expected, it's not even worth mentioning. Also, the Chinese martial arts association has five permanent members, and with the president here, it's mainly because of their decisions. Zhou Weidao shook his head.
Hearing Zhou Weidao's words, Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying. No matter how good a decision you make, anyone who doesn't do something is just empty talk!"
"President Xu, you're flattering me." Zhou Weidao shook his head.
"Hahaha, let's not talk about this first. The dishes are already here. Let's eat and drink. The moment I saw Secretary Zhou today, I felt that I hated you for being late. We must drink a lot tonight!" Xu Taiping said.
"Haha, it's my honor to be able to drink with President Xu. No need to say, we'll drink whatever you think we should drink tonight!" Zhou Weidao laughed.
"Secretary Zhou, let me pour some wine for you!" Bunny Yue sensibly took a bottle of wine and walked to Zhou Weidao's side and poured some wine for him.
Zhou Weidao couldn't help but glance at Bunny Yue. This Bunny Yue's physique and looks were really too enticing. None of them could resist the charm that Bunny Yue was emitting. Of course, Xu Taiping was an exception.
Bunny Yue held a bottle of wine and added more wine to Xu Taiping's wine. After that, she also added a glass of wine to Liu Ke Chou's cup.
"Come, this is the first goblet of wine for Secretary-General Zhou!" Xu Taiping said as he picked up his wine cup.
"No, no, no. We have to respect President Xu for this first goblet of wine!" Zhou Weidao quickly said.
"Then we will respect each other. We will only know each other today, and we will only be friends today!" Xu Taiping said.
"Haha, good! To our friendship!"
After the first cup of wine was consumed, tonight's banquet would officially begin.
On the table, wine was being drunk. Xu Taiping and Zhou Weidao drank cups after cups of white wine, both of them flattering each other. Both of them were very happy.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Taiping and Zhou Weidao each drank at least a catty of white wine.
Zhou Weidao was just an ordinary person. With one catty of white wine, he seemed to have reached the top. His face was red and his eyes were a little blurry.
"President Xu, we've become friends today. As friends, I have something to say!" Zhou Weidao said vaguely.
"Secretary Zhou, please speak!" Xu Taiping said.
"These five great members are too unreasonable. They invited you to be their president, and even gave you the title of temporary president. Isn't this bullying?" A temporary guild leader, what was that? According to the rules and regulations of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, a temporary chairman, as long as three of the five permanent members agree, can be directly dismissed. I really can't stand it. If I didn't have any right to speak, I wouldn't have let them bully others no matter what happens today! " Zhou Weidao said excitedly.
Hearing Zhou Weidao's words, Xu Taiping's brows rose slightly, and then he said …
