Der Schulrüpel gibt sich distanziert, ist aber in Wirklichkeit sozial unbeholfen - Kapitel 537
The old man in gray gently patted Jing Chengyan's thigh with his palm, and the wound on Jing Chengyan's thigh miraculously healed slowly. After about half a minute, it returned to its original state.
"Thank you, Master!" Jing Chengyan said, looking at the old man with emotion.
"I've always told you to stay humble and not be arrogant. Did you really think you were invincible just because you've learned a few skills?" The gray-robed elder patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "Consider this a lesson for yourself! It's not a bad thing for a young person to encounter some setbacks! Keep working hard in the future! I'm still waiting to pass my position to you!"
The old man made no attempt to hide his admiration for Inari Hikoichi. After all, he was the most promising genius among the younger generation of the Mitsui Company.
"Yes!" Jing Chengyan nodded, then took a step back, but couldn't help but ask, "Master, what do you intend to do with that Chinese man?"
"I shall go and meet him myself!" The old man sighed deeply, and a horrified glint suddenly shot out from his eyes. What he wanted to do most now was to see who was this person who could seriously injure his most proud disciple. After all, Jing Chengyan was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and there were no more than ten cultivators as powerful as Jing Chengyan in the entire island nation.
"President, I think I should handle this. You can just wait for good news at the company." A man in black stepped forward and said.
"Forget it, I'll go myself. I'll test him in my own way. If he's involved with the Chinese Predator Project... then we'll have to put some thought into it."

Chapter 409 Strange
"I shall go and meet him myself!" The old man sighed deeply, and a horrified glint suddenly shot out from his eyes. What he wanted to do most now was to see who was this person who could seriously injure his most proud disciple. After all, Jing Chengyan was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and there were no more than ten cultivators as powerful as Jing Chengyan in the entire island nation.
"President, I think I should handle this. You can just wait for good news at the company." A man in black stepped forward and said.
"Forget it, I'll go myself. I'll test him in my own way. If he's related to China's 3157th Predator Project... then we'll have to put some effort into this."
Meanwhile, deep in a mountain in China.
Chen Tianpeng poured a cup of tea for the white-haired old man in front of him and respectfully handed it to him, "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with Yun Teng?"
“This brat does have some ideas, and I understand what you mean, but I can’t let him join Wangyue Pavilion yet.” The old man, who was called the Pavilion Elder, smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face immediately spread out. It was as if hearing the name Yun Teng brought him a long-lost smile. The old man was as calm as an ancient pine tree, and he would not smile even once a year.
"But why?" Chen Tianpeng looked at him in confusion: "You've been observing him for over a year. This kid's patriotism is beyond what ordinary people can match. According to your wishes, I also gave him the position of the Northern Hongmen. But you never let me reveal any information about Wangyue Pavilion to him, so I've kept my mouth shut. However, I always feel that it's a pity that such a talented person is only in charge of the Northern Hongmen!"
Upon hearing his words, the Grand Secretary smiled again: "Our Chinese Moon Gazing Pavilion has a five-thousand-year-old heritage. We must carefully consider the next Grand Secretary. To be honest, I quite like Yun Teng and hope to meet him soon, but..."
At this point, the Grand Secretary paused deliberately, then looked at Chen Tianpeng with a solemn expression: "I always feel that I can't see through him. He must have a shocking secret. If he doesn't tell us, we won't know. I can't pass on the position of Grand Secretary to someone I can't see through."
“But don’t you really like Yun Teng? Besides, you’ve seen Yun Teng’s patriotism and cultivation aptitude. Everyone has secrets, just like I don’t know how long you’ve lived.” A mocking smile flashed across Chen Tianpeng’s eyes.
"hehe!"
The elder smiled calmly. He knew that Chen Tianpeng had always wanted to know how old he was, but he had never told anyone about it. "Alright, I have my own arrangements for this. You continue to observe him. Also, this kid recently went to Japan, right? I heard that the people from the Mitsui Society seem to be keeping an eye on him. How about this, you take a few of your senior brothers and go help him!"
The news that Ma Yunteng had smashed up all the companies supported by the Mitsui Group was not only reported in the Japanese news, but also heard about in China. As the head of the Wangyue Pavilion, he was even more aware of the matter.
"I don't think it's necessary. In my opinion, with Yun Teng's abilities, even I wouldn't be a match for him!" Chen Tianpeng said with a chuckle. He had witnessed Ma Yun Teng's prowess. Although he seemed to have just entered the cultivation world, even Nascent Soul stage cultivators might not be able to gain the upper hand in front of him!
“If that old guy doesn’t show up, I don’t have much to worry about. That old guy from the Mitsui Society is a very vigilant person. If he connects Yun Teng with the Predator Project, then Yun Teng is in some danger. If I remember correctly, that guy was already in the late Nascent Soul stage twenty years ago. Now, he’s probably already in the Divine Transformation stage. Even I wouldn’t dare to underestimate him,” the elder said.
"If I rashly enter the island nation, it might attract even more attention from them, and then the Predator Project might draw even more attention," Chen Tianpeng said worriedly.
"All right!"
The old man rolled his old eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Then let that brat face it himself! We can also take this opportunity to see just how much power he has! Given the nature of the Mitsui Society, they probably already know that Yun Teng is the leader of the Northern Hongmen. If that's the case, they won't dare to make any rash moves."
Chen Tianpeng remained silent for a while before speaking again: "But I'm still worried. Yun Teng can handle a Nascent Soul cultivator, but if that old guy really enters the Divine Transformation Realm... I'm afraid Yun Teng will be slapped to death by him."
"Probably not. Do you remember last time, this kid took a few girls on a trip to the North and South Poles?" The Grand Secretary smiled slightly. "Believe me, even if this kid can't beat him, his ability to escape is unmatched."
"By the way, what do you think about that brat traveling between the North and South Poles in the blink of an eye?" Chen Tianpeng paused for a moment, recalling the incident from six months ago when Ma Yunteng took a few girls out for hot pot in the clouds.
"That's a mystery." The Grand Secretary shook his head, then rose slightly, took a step, and arrived atop the green peak. With his feet on ancient trees and Chen Tianpeng in his right hand, he laughed heartily and said, "Jiangnan is known for producing talented people, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Perhaps I already have a successor!"
"Congratulations, Pavilion Master!"
"Ha ha!"
...
...
It's getting late in this island nation.
Ma Yunteng was unaware that his every move was being watched by so many people. Although the system was fully aware of these matters, it only revealed half a word to Ma Yunteng in order to help him grow quickly.
The president of Mitsui-sha and the head of Mochizuki-gaku are already part of China's 3157th Predator Project. They sound impressive, but in the system's eyes, they are nothing but child's play. What the system wants to do is to cultivate Ma Yunteng into the number one tycoon in the universe, and these things on Earth are not worth the future number one tycoon's attention.
This is also why the system didn't reveal any information to Ma Yunteng.
"Brother Teng, look! There's an old man practicing Tai Chi over there!" Li Xiyue suddenly spotted an old man in a gray robe practicing Tai Chi diligently about 200 meters ahead.
"Are you sure?" Ma Yunteng was slightly taken aback. He looked in the direction Li Xiyue was pointing, but he couldn't see a single person. Yet Li Xiyue said there was an old man practicing Tai Chi there. Was he seeing things?
Thank you to the German colleague for the 588 book coins donation, and thank you to the wanderer for the 1108+156 book coins donation. Thank you.

Chapter 410 is quite interesting
What's even stranger is that this is an island nation, so why would anyone be practicing Tai Chi here?
"Brother Teng, look how amazing he is!" Li Xiyue exclaimed as she saw the old man able to lean back and touch his head to the ground without using his hands for support.
