Chapter 747: Chapter 747: The Stir Caused by WeChat Moments!
After dinner, Father Chu excused himself and left, as Old Master Chu’s 80th birthday was just two days away. He needed to return in advance to make the necessary preparations. After all, this was an event of supreme importance.
Mother Chu collected the dishes and chopsticks, while Jing Xiaoxi helped from the side.
Huang Xiaolong went to the balcony to smoke, and Chu Tingting followed him out.
“Little Long…whatever my father said about showcasing social connections…please don’t take it to heart,” Chu Tingting sheepishly said. “I don’t want to put you in a difficult situation or cause any trouble for you. The fact that you can accompany me back home for my grandfather’s 80th birthday is more than enough for me.”
Chu Tingting knew that Huang Xiaolong had made quite a name for himself in Binhai and had garnered a significant network of acquaintances. However, she was not entirely clear about the extent of his connections.
“Heh~~ Tingting, I came from a rural area and have spent a long time in the city. Connections? I have some of those too,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smirk, sounding eager.
...
“No~~ Little Long, you shouldn’t use your favors carelessly. They’re a luxury—once you use one, it’s gone. Why waste them on competing with some superficial and worldly individuals?” Chu Tingting earnestly advised.
‘Favors? Pfft~~~ Many people owe me favors in this world. I’ve never even collected them! Besides, if they come to back me up, it’s them saving face. Why should I repay them?’
Of course, Huang Xiaolong didn’t share these thoughts with Chu Tingting.
“Little Long, I’m going inside to help my mom with the dishes,” Chu Tingting said to Huang Xiaolong with a charming smile before turning around and heading back to the kitchen.
Huang Xiaolong pulled out his phone, took a moment to think, and then posted a message on his WeChat Moments.
The message essentially stated that he would be attending a birthday banquet, a competition of social connections, in two days. He included his location—Ma City.
Huang Xiaolong’s WeChat friend list also included a significant number of people—none of whom were ordinary folk.
Therefore, as soon as he made this post, a number of people liked it.
Huang Xiaolong put away his phone and went back to the living room to watch TV.
That night, Mother Chu prepared a guest room for both Huang Xiaolong and Jing Xiaoxi to stay in.
After taking a bath, Huang Xiaolong went straight to bed and fell asleep.
…
Nighttime!
Binhai City!
The Lin, Shu, Sun, and Gao families all found out about Huang Xiaolong’s affairs in Ma City through his WeChat moment.
With a simple search, they easily found out that Old Master Chu’s 80th birthday was two days away in Ma City.
Given Huang Xiaolong’s eminent status in Binhai—his unofficial title was King of Binhai—news of this event proliferated rapidly and captivated the city’s high society!

Go! Go to Ma City!
Show up for “Master Long”!
This was a rare opportunity to ingratiate oneself with Master Long, one that a fool would miss out on!
In no time, many of the elites and celebrities in Binhai’s upper-class circles had begun preparing their birthday gifts.
…
Huang Xiaolong’s villa.
After Huang Xiaolong left Binhai, Lin Jing, Ma Chuxia, and others resided in his villa, helping him look after his property.
“It seems we need to make a trip to Ma City,” said Ma Chuxia, half-smiling, half-serious. “We can’t let our Little Long lose face… I’ll contact the members of the Academy of Esoteric Learning right away. We should go to Ma City collectively to offer our birthday greetings to the birthday senior!”
“I’ll get in touch with the higher-ups in our Xia family,” Xia Ying said, taking out her phone.
…
Jiangnan City!
The Jin Family!
The Jin Family, one of the top ten martial arts families in Huaxia, was a vassal to the Ying Family.
The Jin Family is not only a commercial aircraft carrier in Jiangnan City, but also an ancient martial arts clan, with over a thousand followers, extremely prosperous!
The head of the family, Old Master Jin, is a hundred-year-old man of high virtue and respect, and a great grandmaster of ancient martial arts. His fame is not only in Jiangnan City, but even in the surrounding cities, it echoes like thunder, making people submit.
In the courtyard. The palace lantern is lit.
Old Master Jin is practicing his calligraphy.
“Ah~~ I wonder when the master will come to Jiangnan City again, I really miss the master.” Old Master Jin smiled slightly. “The master shocked everyone in the ancient martial arts competition in Jiangnan City. He is also a master calligrapher who has learned from hundreds of others… Ah~~ Such a remarkable man, it’s my fortune to be able to worship him as my master.”
Just then——
“Grandfather! Grandfather!” A pleasant-sounding voice, extremely beautiful, a competent woman in a professional OL suit ran into the courtyard with a mobile phone, her face filled with excitement.
“Mengqi, you’re so out of control.” Old Master Jin shook his head and laughed.
This woman is Jin Mengqi, who once had some ambiguous relationships with Huang Xiaolong and has long fallen for him.
“Grandfather, Master Huang just posted a moment on WeChat. He’s currently in Ma City. It is said that he will compare his network with some of the wealthy families there two days later.” Jin Mengqi’s eyes sparkled.
“The master is in Ma City?” Old Master Jin’s hand shivered, and his writing brush fell out. Then he said loudly, “Great! In that case, how could I not pay my respects to the master?”
“Grandfather, are you going yourself?” In Jin Mengqi’s eyes, there was also a strong sense of longing. Her heart was pounding, longing to grow wings and fly to Ma City to see the man whom she had been longing for day and night!
“Of course! Let’s go! Mengqi, prepare for me right away. This time, when I meet the master, I must stay by his side for a few more days and listen to his teachings.” Old Master Jin’s face turned red, seemingly rejuvenated by several years.

Dong’an City!
Chenghuang Temple!
In the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple, there’s a family of three.
Among them, a mother and daughter, both extraordinarily beautiful, were kneeling respectfully on the prayer mats, ceaselessly worshipping a bracelet enshrined in the temple.
This young woman is Ding Qinxue, who was the first worshiper of the Chenghuang Temple of Huang Xiaolong and the first beauty to pledge her devotion to Huang Xiaolong.
Her wish was to let Mrs. Ding, a “vegetative person,” wake up.
As a result, not only did her mother wake up, but thanks to a word from Huang Xiaolong, Ding Qinxue also avoided a deadly car accident.
Therefore, this mother and daughter have a deep faith in Huang Xiaolong!
The man standing behind the mother and daughter is the dignified and authoritative Mayor Ding!
The local ruler!
“Old Ding, don’t blame me for being superstitious. The master in this place is indeed a divine being. If it weren’t for him, I would never have woken up.” Mrs. Ding said piously.
“Well… Madam, regardless of the facts, that master saved your life. Both morally and emotionally, I should meet him and thank him in person.” Mayor Ding frowned, “However… now we can’t find the master in this Chenghuang Temple… That’s troublesome. To tell you the truth, I don’t like owing people favours.”
“I have that master’s WeChat.” Ding Qinxue took out her phone. “Dad, if you really want to thank the master, then I can contact the master on WeChat and see where he is… But Dad, you must be humble when you meet the master. He’s an extraordinary person, someone who can be met but not sought.”
“Well… all right, I’ll listen to you. You’ve praised that master so highly, now I really want to meet him in person.” Mayor Ding smiled.
“We’re not just praising him, but the master is indeed a living god. Old Ding, you mustn’t blaspheme against the master! You know very well that I don’t believe in gods or Buddha, but since the day the master cured me, I’ve become his follower!” Mrs. Ding said sternly.
Mayor Ding is afraid of his wife, especially since Mrs. Ding’s family background is so profound, so he can only force a smile.
“Huh? The master posted a moment on WeChat! He’s in Ma City!” Ding Qinxue’s eyes lit up. “In two days, the master will attend some banquet and needs people to participate…”
“Well, okay…” Mayor Ding nodded, “I’ll take annual leave and accompany you and your mother to Ma City for a break and to thank the master in person. I’ll call my secretary right now to book plane tickets to Ma City for tomorrow morning.”
…
What Huang Xiaolong didn’t expect was that his casually posted WeChat moment would cause a sensation amongst the upper society in Dong’an City, Jiangnan City, and Binhai City!
Two days later, Old Master Chu’s eightieth birthday, will probably be exceptionally lively!
