Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1416: Chapter 774: What Others Have, You Should Have Too

Everyone was gaping, no one expected this turn of events.

Chen Jiazhang was also inexplicably shocked: So, an elemental body swallowing the Naked Heart Gu is useless?

Then what about Lian Xin’s change of attitude towards Zard?

All along the way, everyone clearly felt that Lian Xin’s attitude towards Zard had noticeably changed.

If it’s not the effect of the Naked Heart Gu, then it suggests that Lian Xin truly developed feelings.

At this moment, Lian Xin let out a gasp, only to feel her face burning hot, and said to her clan members, "Stop staring, focus on feeding your Naked Heart Gu!"

The clan members stifled their laughter and lowered their heads.

Lian Xin composed her expression and looked at Zard, coldly saying, "Since you didn’t eat the Naked Heart Gu, then why did you pick flowers for me, why didn’t you run away, why did you bring me food anyway?"

This question left Zard dumbfounded: "Because I like you."

Lian Xin sneered, "Sweet talk."

While the others were feeding the Naked Heart Gu, Chen Jiazhang once again quietly muttered to Zard: "Since there’s no Naked Heart Gu in your body, why are you still here, do you want to be made into a Gold Corpse? I’m your boss’s master’s brother, if I’m made into a Gold Corpse, how will you explain it to your boss?"

Zard thought for a moment and said, "Now that the Knight Organization already has the Thunder Knight, Onmyoji Knight, and Truestrike Knight, everyone’s starting to switch roles, don’t you want to switch roles too?"

Chen Jiazhang was taken aback, "Switch to what?"

"They’ll make you into a Gold Corpse, then you can switch to a Death Knight."

Chen Jiazhang: "?"

...

In the evening in City 5, the setting sun streamed through the buildings, slicing into beams of light of various shapes, like a dreamlike city.

Qing Chen sat in Qing Ji’s battered pickup truck, staring out the window in a daze: "In the eyes of the Kingdom organization, I should still be in a state of feigned death. You all are having me attend a banquet, which means you’re leaking the information that I’m still alive. Including when you set me up for a blind date earlier, purposely leaking my identity to my date, that’s also disrupting my plan."

"Feigned death? What are you planning to do," Qing Ji asked puzzledly.

"I plan to go to the Forbidden Sea Coast to kill someone, and at the same time, see what the real power there is like," Qing Chen said.

Qing Ji: "Isn’t that why we’re suggesting you leave behind some offspring?"

Qing Chen suddenly frowned.

For some time, he felt as though the House Master on Ginkgo Mountain could predict the future, even seeing some fragments of it.

As time went by, this feeling only intensified.

Qing Chen pondered a question: Could it be that the House Master foresaw something unfortunate happening to him, which is why this matchmaking event was organized?

You must know, there truly are taboo objects in this world that can predict the future, at least the tissue box in Jinguji Maki’s hand can!

Qing Chen asked, "What does the Qing Clan House Master want me to do this time? Surely it’s not just a marriage meeting. Such a significant figure, like the local emperor of this world’s southwest, wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters."

"Is matchmaking trivial?" Qing Ji said indifferently: "You’ve underestimated your own status, the issue of royal descendants has always been a fundamental problem across dynasties. You haven’t embraced the role, so you see it as insignificant. If it were truly unimportant, do you think the old man would have given away two taboo objects at once?"

Qing Chen was deep in thought.

In truth, it was Ke Rouli, the blind date, who made Qing Chen realize how terrifying corporate power was.

She placed the corporation on a pedestal, even willing to stoop down and kiss the tip of power’s shoe, reflecting the most authentic portrayal of ordinary people in this era.

Yet, this is precisely why Qing Chen and the others wish to change it all.

Qing Ji continued, "However, the old man did have other reasons for bringing you back besides matchmaking. For example, he considers tonight’s banquet extremely important and has been planning it for several weeks."

"What’s the theme of tonight’s banquet?" Qing Chen wondered: "Is it for me to interact with the bigwigs of the Qing family?"

"Oh, that’s not particularly important either," Qing Ji replied: "You’ll understand once the banquet is over."

Qing Chen said, "Have you ever thought that I don’t really have a sense of belonging to the Qing family? Before he left, my brother never told me to return to the Qing family, nor did he ever intend to bind me to it."

Qing Ji suddenly said, "The old man is ruthless and not good at expressing himself, but I hope you won’t judge him too hastily before you get to know him. In actuality... he’s not quite what the outside world imagines."

"What do you mean?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

"We’ve arrived," Qing Ji said.

Qing Chen looked at the grand Ginkgo Manor outside the car window, like a city within a city, a nation within a nation.

At the entrance, two mute servants greeted warmly with sign language, saying: "The clothes are all ready, the young master can change first."

Qing Chen asked Qing Ji, "Change into what clothes?"

Qing Ji glanced at him, "You don’t intend to attend the banquet wearing that tracksuit, do you? Of course, it’s for changing into formal attire, either a suit or a tuxedo, you can choose later."

minutes later, Qing Chen looked at himself in the mirror, the black suit fit perfectly, the mute tailor beside him with a measuring tape around his neck happily admiring his work and signing: "The young master’s figure is perfect, it’s my greatest honor for my clothes to be worn by the young master."

This mute tailor was so adept at flattering even with sign language.

Ginkgo Manor had already begun to be decorated with lights and decorations, as if preparing to welcome a grand festival.

Qing Chen followed Qing Ji to the banquet hall, the mute servants they passed all smiling brightly and sincerely upon seeing him.

"Do they all know me?" Qing Chen asked.

"Of course, and you have a high status in their eyes," Qing Ji said: "The mute servants were silenced by Jindai’s poison, and the moment you burst out of A02 Base, you were destined to hold a special place in their hearts. Rest assured, everyone attending the banquet tonight is from the House Master’s faction, there are no enemies. But whether they can become friends depends on you."

As they entered the banquet hall, sounds of music, conversation, and laughter intertwined, like a massive playground.

Qing Chen suddenly saw balloons at the doorway, along with many banners inside, reading... Happy Birthday.

He stood there stunned, while Qing Ji said beside him, "Today is your birthday in the Inner World."

Qing Chen had two birthdays, but today in the Inner World was his true birth date, while the one in the Outer World wasn’t real.

But the problem is, did the Qing family really organize such a grand banquet, summoning the leaders and officials from the House Master’s faction to Ginkgo Manor, stringing up celebratory lights all around, just to celebrate his birthday?

This is a bit ridiculous.

Qing Ji said, "Not being there for you is the old man’s regret, although he never said anything, I know this regret always existed. You left for the Outer World at such a young age, now at least a grand birthday celebration serves as some form of compensation."

Qing Chen was in disbelief, "How childish are you guys?"

Is this really something a Qing Clan House Master concerns themselves with?!

There will be another Chapter before midnight
