"Haha, Old Man Bai, you're still so stingy. No explanation today, just an auction and wine party. I recently acquired a batch of antiques and thought I'd create some atmosphere here."
As Tan Chun finished speaking, Bai Yunyan couldn't help but frown slightly.
He glanced back at Ling Feng, his eyes asking if Ling Feng minded attending an auction and wine party.
Ling Feng simply shook his head, indicating that he would go with the host's wishes.
Bai Yunyan nodded, then pouted, "Old Tan, my godson here has brought out my prized possession, forty years of treasure, two jars! Can I be considered stingy? Forty years, you were barely out of your diapers back then!"
"Damn, that's generous, truly generous! Forty-year-old Five Poison Wine! That's a good thing!"
Tan Chun had been impatient for some time. Upon hearing this, he ignored the gazes of his subordinates and snatched the two jars of wine from Lin Shuai Nan's hands.
These two jars of Five Poison Wine, totaling less than ten catties, made Tan Chun incredibly happy.
Clearly, he was very fond of this particular beverage.
Of course, the value of these two jars of Five Poison Wine was not much less than that of two houses.
"Heh heh, Shuai Nan, kid, you're far more generous than Old Man Bai. Speak up, how should Uncle arrange things for you today? How many young ladies do you want?"
Tan Chun was in a good mood and knew that these two jars of wine were in his possession thanks to Lin Shuai Nan. He waved his hand generously, intending to host a coming-of-age ceremony for Lin Shuai Nan...
Lin Shuai Nan's eyes lit up at this.
"Heh heh, Uncle Tan, I..."
"Old Tan, stop corrupting the youth. Shuai Nan already has a wife. If you mess up this engagement for me, don't even think about drinking with me again!"
Bai Yunyan directly interrupted Lin Shuai Nan.
Seeing that Bai Yunyan wasn't joking, Tan Chun could only raise his eyebrows at Lin Shuai Nan.
"Shuai Nan, kid, you can't blame Uncle for not arranging anything for you; it's your godfather who's being uncooperative."
Lin Shuai Nan, seeing this, knew that the pleasant evening he had envisioned was impossible. Although Lin Shuai Nan only outwardly showed excitement and wouldn't do anything out of line,
As a man, he wanted to experience the occasional social engagement.
Seeing that his plans were thwarted, he could only put on a very proper demeanor.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle Tan. I am a very devoted man!"
"Haha, your uncle is also very devoted!"
Tan Chun let out a hearty laugh.
His words drew a dismissive snort from Bai Yunyan, who unceremoniously exposed Tan Chun's statement.
"Of course you're devoted. At eighteen, you liked eighteen-year-old girls, and at sixty, you still like eighteen-year-old girls! Who is more devoted than you!"
Lin Shuai Nan was somewhat bewildered by this.
Tan Chun, however, took pride in it.
"Haha, you're just jealous of me! This is simply philanthropy! There are many unfortunate young girls who still need my care!"
Amidst their banter, they arrived at a banquet hall on the sixth floor.
The elevator went directly there.
Tan Chun led the group out and casually remarked, "There are quite a few people here today, a mixed crowd, but it has nothing to do with us. We'll just drink amongst ourselves!"
Ling Feng surveyed the scene, noticing tables laden with food and wine. Most guests had already arrived, and their conversations were punctuated by glances, seemingly directed their way.
Clearly, they recognized Tan Chun, the hotel owner.
This was a typical Da Hua-style banquet, much livelier than Western-style gatherings, and the attendees craved this atmosphere.
Tan Chun led the group to a table with a prime location and sat down.
As soon as they were seated, several scantily clad young women approached them.
"Boss Tan, where have you been? We've been waiting anxiously."
"Yes, Boss Tan, is there a seat for us here?"
These women appeared to be quite young, likely the "unfortunate young girls" Tan Chun had mentioned earlier.
"I have guests today, so don't cause any trouble. Behave yourselves."
Tan Chun waved his hand but didn't dismiss them. The table was large enough for them to sit.
Upon hearing this, the young women immediately focused their attention on Ling Feng and the others.
It had to be said that even though Bai Yunyan was getting on in years, the men possessed an extraordinary charm.
At least, they appeared more captivating than Tan Chun.
Immediately, their focus shifted.
They moved closer to Ling Feng and the others.
However, a single cold glance from Ling Feng was enough to scare the young women into not daring to approach.
They then all gravitated towards Lin Shuai Nan, the simple-minded young man with a goofy smile.
"Little brother, can I sit here?"
"Little brother, I'll accompany you for a drink!"
Lin Shuai Nan wore a silly grin, his face slightly flushed, and he thought to himself, "Second Uncle's divination is truly accurate. I do have peach blossom luck today! Peach blossom hotel, peach blossom luck, the peach blossoms are here, unstoppable!"
Everything had been predicted by Lin Er Shu. The young women were throwing themselves at Lin Shuai Nan.
Bai Yunyan could only shake his head secretly as he watched.
Ignoring the auctioneer who had just presented a new item on the stage, Bai Yunyan got straight to the point.
"Old Tan, I've given you the Five Poison Wine. The Corpse Snatching Gathering..."
"Shush, it's the Fragrance Appreciation Gathering!"
Tan Chun quickly held up a finger, shushing him repeatedly.
"Uh, alright, what about the Fragrance Appreciation Gathering? If it's convenient for you, it would be best if you could grant Ling Feng the qualification to enter."
Tan Chun was taken aback and looked Ling Feng up and down.
In his impression, Ling Feng was a taciturn young man, with a stern expression and an imposing aura, clearly not an ordinary person. He wasn't sure of Ling Feng's identity, so he hadn't paid him much attention.
Ling Feng also nodded slightly, acknowledging Tan Chun.
"Ling Feng, is it? You want to enter the Fragrance Appreciation Gathering yourself? I have the qualification to bring seven people in, so if it's just you few, I can still bring you."
Tan Chun clearly attached importance to the Fragrance Appreciation Gathering.
"If possible, I would appreciate it if Mr. Tan could accommodate us!" Ling Feng insisted on his own plan. Obtaining the entry qualification meant he wouldn't need Tan Chun to escort him.
This way, even if he did something at the Corpse Snatching Gathering, it wouldn't implicate Tan Chun.
Tan Chun, being shrewd, immediately nodded, "It seems you intend to do something out of line at the Fragrance Appreciation Gathering."
Bai Yunyan frowned slightly, worried that Tan Chun wouldn't lend them the item.
"If it's absolutely necessary, you can escort us in."
"There's nothing that can't be done. If I miss one less event, I won't lose any flesh. Besides, this thing, you know... the GPS tracking function is quite bothersome!"
Tan Chun flipped his wrist, revealing a black card. Engraved on it in gilded seal script was the image of a golden coffin!
