Chapter 765: Party
Lin Mo hung up the phone and immediately had someone bring him a laptop to access the Martial Arts Forum.
Although Lin Mo knew of the Martial Arts Forum's existence, he didn't pay much attention to it. When he opened the forum, the entire page was black with only one line of bright red text— "Today at 9 PM, slay Lin Tanyu to avenge my son!"
The entire forum had exploded.
Heavenly Sect had always been above the Martial Arts World, hidden within the Sect and almost completely disconnected from the Mortal World.
However, recently, people from Heavenly Sect had been active in the Mortal World, and these mysterious cultivators had come into view. As for the strengths of other Innate Strong People, they were unfathomable, likely surpassing the legendary Divine Force of the Martial Arts World.
"It's over, Innate Strong People, those stronger than Martial Arts Divine Force, Lin Tanyu is in trouble this time."
"Yes, Lin Tanyu has already killed two masters from Qingxuan Sect, they will definitely seek revenge. I just didn't expect it to be so soon."
"Go Lin Tanyu, we believe you will not lose."
"As far as I know, the strength of Innate Strong People surpasses the Martial Arts Divine Force, Lin Tanyu can't possibly win no matter how strong he is, he's doomed this time," Young Master Wei suddenly spoke up.
"Damn, Young Master Wei, it's you again. Can you dare to disclose your location?"
"Always mocking Lin Tanyu, then sitting back and getting slapped in the face, two-three-three-three," Young Master Wei said, "I am not jealous of Lin Tanyu, just making a rational analysis. Although we haven't seen the strength of Innate Strong People, we all know they are formidable. Right now, Lin Tanyu is no match for his opponents, I suggest Lin Tanyu should better hide and bide his time."
"Pfft, you also understand Mr. Lin? Martial Arts is all about moving forward. He is even firmer, he is even stronger. If Mr. Lin runs away, the Dao Heart will crack, and he will never be able to reach a higher Realm."
"Yes, I also believe Mr. Lin definitely won't run away."
"I wonder where Mr. Lin is, I really want to go see this battle."
Lin Mo glanced over the posts casually, then closed the laptop without any change in his expression.
"Master, what should we do now?" Yingzi's pretty face also showed a worried look.
"What is meant to come will always come, it's just a matter of sooner or later," Lin Mo said calmly, "He comes, I fight. If I run away, it doesn't conform with my Dao Heart. Even if I survive, I will never be able to enter the Innate Realm again."
Saying this, a sharp gleam flashed in Lin Mo's eyes; there was no trace of fear, only a touch of excitement.
"Yes, Master, I will stay by your side," Yingzi pursed her lips and nodded, her clear eyes filled with determination.
"Good, now go out and have some fun." Lin Mo's eyes softened as he tousled the young girl's hair.
As the two were talking, a servant's voice came from outside:
"Mr. Lin, Miss Yingzi, the young lady's birthday party has already started, why don't you both come over and have some fun?"
Lin Mo and Yingzi walked out of the villa to the estate mansion, where a long table laden with food including Australian Lobster and Cold Country Kobe beef was set up on the lawn.
Servants mingled among the elegantly dressed, noble crowd, offering drink service.
A champagne tower built from stacked glasses, filled with golden-orange champagne, refracted a faint golden glow under the lights. Everyone who made it here today was from the high-society circles of Ancient Capital, and each held an extraordinary identity.
From business celebrities and political leaders to even some underground big shots with significant influence, all gathered here.
One could imagine the immense influence the Huo Family held in Ancient Capital.
"Mr. Lin," Huo Yongshi greeted Lin Mo and Yingzi as they came out, "Mr. Lin, please enjoy yourselves, I need to greet some friends."
"Sure. Happy birthday!" Lin Mo nodded, picked up a champagne flute, and walked alone to a quiet spot, gazing at the starlight in the sky, lost in thought.
Yingzi, on the other hand, picked up a plate and selected an assortment of food, standing behind Lin Mo and happily eating.
Huo Yongshi glanced at them, curled her lip, and walked toward a group of young men and women. Today was Huo Yongshi's birthday, and naturally, she was the star of the evening. She wore a floor-length white dress, donned white gloves, and her makeup was meticulously done. A string of deep blue jewels hung around her neck, clearly of great value, making her look exceptionally noble and beautiful,
like a princess from the Royal Family.
"Little Shi, happy birthday."
"Miss Huo, happy birthday."
Everyone congratulated her.
"Thank you, everyone. I hope you all have fun tonight," Huo Yongshi said with a gentle smile, friendly yet gracious, retaining the demeanor of a well-bred lady. Many hosts' eyes were on her, glowing with heat.
"Little Shi, was that the annoying guy you mentioned earlier?" Qi Wan pulled Huo Yongshi aside and glanced at Lin Mo and Yingzi in the distance.
"Yes, his name is Lin Mo," Huo Yongshi nodded.
"He seems quite arrogant," Gai Shu also commented, standing nearby.
For some reason, just seeing Lin Mo's aloof face irked Huo Yongshi, she shook her head and said, "Alright, enjoy yourselves. I need to go greet some guests with my grandfather. I'll come to find you later." "Sure, go ahead," Qi Wan and the others nodded.
As Huo Yongshi walked away with her grandfather to greet other big shots,
those young men and women, contemporaries of Huo Yongshi's, began talking about Lin Mo.
"Is that the guy who upset Little Shi? Wonder what his story is, doesn't look very sharp-dressed, does he?" Qi Wan said, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
These young people were all scions of Ancient Capital's elite, clad in top international brands, some even had their clothes custom-tailored by royal couturiers from Paris, a single outfit worth enough to buy a house in an ordinary town.
As for Lin Mo, he wore the simplest of hooded casual wear, seeming to only cost a few hundred yuan, which here was rather 'conspicuous.'
"Not many men can make our Little Shi angry. Heard that guy came from the small place of Shu Province," Gai Shu spoke, her tone dripping with disdain.
After all, Ancient Capital was the premier city of Huaxia. Compared to it, other cities hardly measured, inducing a sense of superiority among these young socialites. To them, rich second generations from other places were just country bumpkins.
"Annoy Miss Huo, is that guy tired of living? If Mr. Li finds out, he will probably give him a lesson," a young man in a Versace suit sneered.
As they spoke, someone suddenly approached them, smiling, "What is everyone talking about?"
