Jiang Chen was somewhat taken aback.

This time, the absorption seemed a bit different; Jiang Chen didn't feel any change or progress from before.

Glancing at the jade stone in his hand, now devoid of even a trace of vitality, Jiang Chen sighed softly, "Still not working, huh? Jing Yi, you'll have to wait for me a bit longer, but rest assured, I will definitely wake you up, definitely!"

A deep yearning flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, he truly hoped that Ye Jingyi would wake up soon.

He put away the jade stone, lay down on the bed, calmed his downcast mood, and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

A silent night passed.

The next morning, Jiang Chen got up and went to the dining room, where Gong Lin and Gong Yue were already preparing for the meal.

"You're up." Seeing Jiang Chen come in, Gong Lin greeted him.

Gong Yue pouted, "Really got the timing down, huh? Getting up just in time for the meal!"

Jiang Chen shot a glance at Gong Yue and ignored her, sitting down next to Gong Lin, where a bowl and chopsticks had been prepared for him.

"Jiang Chen, did you time it on purpose to get up now? I've never seen you get to the table before the meal, you sure have a comfortable life eating!" Gong Yue mocked.

In her words, she was talking about the meal, but Jiang Chen knew that Gong Yue was still making fun of him for being a freeloader.

However, Jiang Chen couldn't be bothered with the young lady, dismissing her words as if they were the buzzing of flies.

But just as he picked up his chopsticks, a buzzing sound reached his ears, and Jiang Chen's brow twitched; indeed there was a fly heading toward Gong Yue's mouth, buzzing around her face.

Instinctively, Jiang Chen activated his cultivation technique and reached out quickly.

"Whoosh—"

Jiang Chen's chopsticks nearly poked Gong Yue's mouth, but at the tip of the chopsticks, he had caught the struggling fly.

I caught a fly with my chopsticks?!

Jiang Chen himself was stunned for a moment, finding it unbelievable.

Gong Lin and the other were equally astonished.

And Gong Yue, looking displeased, glared at Jiang Chen, "What are you trying to do, get back at me?"

Jiang Chen snapped out of it and then held up the chopsticks with the fly on them, "I'm not getting back at you, I was helping you catch a fly."

Gong Lin's eyes immediately showed an astonished expression as she turned her incredulous gaze toward Jiang Chen.

Gong Yue's eyes widened, then she suddenly retched, covering her mouth and pointing at Jiang Chen with a look of disgust, "You, you're so gross!"

"Gross? If it weren't for me, that fly would already be in your mouth. All you do is talk; not even a meal can stop your mouth. If that fly had gotten into your mouth... tell me, which would be more disgusting?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen moved the chopsticks toward Gong Yue's mouth again, his words laced with mockery.

Gong Yue's stomach churned, her face turned pale with anger, and she glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, tossed her chopsticks aside, and without eating, she stood up and ran back to her room.

Jiang Chen chuckled softly, threw the fly in the trash, got a new pair of chopsticks, and sat down to continue his meal.

"Jiang Chen, how did you do that?" Gong Lin asked with a smile, her eyes filled with amazement.

Jiang Chen said casually, "Maybe it was just a coincidence. I saw that fly heading towards Gong Yue, so I casually reached out and caught it. I didn't expect to actually catch it."

Gong Lin blinked, showing a look of skepticism before nodding.

Jiang Chen didn't say much more and continued eating. However, his mind kept replaying the scene from earlier.

Gradually, he understood. This was no coincidence. In that split second, his vision had doubled in sharpness, allowing him to see the fly's trajectory clearly. Moreover, the fly's movement seemed like slow motion in his eyes, making it easy for him to catch it!

It seemed that last night's Blood Jade absorption had indeed greatly enhanced him!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel excited.

Just after finishing his meal, Jiang Chen's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the screen, and answered, "Hello, President Lin."

"Mr. Jiang, please come to Yawei Nightclub. I'm waiting for you here," Lin Bingrui's indifferent voice came from the handset.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Although Lin Bingrui still addressed him as Mr. Jiang, the tone was no longer respectful and seemed like a casual summons.

Hmm, interesting.

Jiang Chen hummed lightly in his mind. He understood that Lin Bingrui had lost faith in him and completely distrusted his martial capabilities.

However, he didn't refuse. He was actually interested in seeing other martial artists. Thus, he agreed to go.

After explaining to Gong Lin, he got up, left the house, and drove towards Yawei Nightclub.

Today, Yawei Nightclub was not open for business. Lin Bingrui had given the staff the day off; the events occurring today were something ordinary people couldn't help with.

In the nightclub's hall at the moment, there stood a group of men in black suits, each with a robust figure and a fierce look on their faces. In front of these men stood Lin Bingrui and a man in his thirties, who looked cold and arrogant, his chilly gaze as if he didn't regard anyone around him, including Lin Bingrui next to him.

A sound of footsteps approached. A man in a black suit came to Lin Bingrui and whispered, "Boss, Mr. Jiang has arrived."

"Bring him in!" Lin Bingrui said softly after glancing at the standoffish man next to him.

The standoffish man turned his head to look towards the nightclub's entrance, his eyes narrowing slightly as a cold light flashed in them.

"Mr. Wu Feng, Mr. Jiang did save my father's life after all. If possible, please show some mercy later," Lin Bingrui hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, as a way of returning the favor to Jiang Chen for saving his father.

"No need to prattle," Wu Feng said coldly, glancing at Lin Bingrui.

Having been reprimanded by Wu Feng in front of his subordinates, Lin Bingrui's face took on an embarrassed expression, and he fell silent, no longer trying to intercede. In his heart, though, he resented Jiang Chen; why make trouble by criticizing someone else's cultivation technique? This self-made problem had now caused him to lose face while pleading for Jiang Chen.

At that moment, footsteps sounded again, and a man in a black suit led Jiang Chen in.

"President Lin."

Greeting Lin Bingrui, Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Wu Feng, a hint of surprise showing in his eyes.

From Wu Feng, Jiang Chen could sense a slight threat, just a hint, which made him realize that Wu Feng might be the strongest martial artist he had encountered thus far.

Jiang Chen's interest was piqued, and he began to size up Wu Feng.

At this point, Lin Bingrui, suppressing his annoyance at Jiang Chen, introduced them with an even tone, "Jiang Chen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Wu Feng, Zhang Qiang's senior fellow apprentice and a powerful martial artist who has almost stepped into the Profound Level."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Well, well, Lin Bingrui is now calling me by my name. Really interesting!
