Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 84 Little Hot Pepper

"To become a star in such a short time, beauty alone isn’t enough," Wu Tian mused thoughtfully.

"She’s very hardworking," Lin Fa said.

"Still not enough," Wu Tian shook his head again.

Lin Fa suddenly remembered something. "That’s right! I heard her maternal grandmother is the Family Head of a powerful European family. Also, her father is the mayor of our Yang City, and her mother is the CEO of a publicly-traded company. Oh, and her name is very special too—once you hear it, you never forget it." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

From Lin Fa’s expression, Wu Tian could tell the man was already a fan and was now deliberately building suspense.

She is not the Empress.

But Wu Tian was still curious. He said flatly, "Fatty, spit it out. Otherwise, don’t call me Boss anymore."

Lin Fa didn’t dare to press his luck and immediately blurted out, "Her name is Guli Weileng. Some say she’s approachable, others say she’s as cold as ice."

"She might be a star, but her business achievements are much better than ours," Lin Fa added, remembering something else.

"How do you know that?" Wu Tian asked.

"No way, you don’t even know this? Boss, you’re really out of the loop. Don’t you ever watch the news?" Lin Fa exclaimed dramatically. "She might be a celebrity, but she occasionally helps out at her mother’s company. Professionals once assessed her business acumen and said she ranks within the top twenty in all of Yang City."

"Oh," Wu Tian said with a nod of understanding. Since returning from the Immortal Emperor Realm, he truly hadn’t paid any attention to entertainment news.

Looking at this Guli Weileng, with her accomplishments, she could truly be considered one of the city’s chosen few.

Wu Tian glanced over. The airport walls were made of glass, and through them, he could see Guli Weileng walking among the crowd. Her demeanor was graceful and her clothes were simple, yet she captivated many of the other women with her elegance. However, despite the throng of people around her, not a single person seemed to capture her attention.

Wu Tian found his gaze drawn back to scrutinize Guli Weileng once more.

"Hey, stop drooling! We have a mission," Lin Fa said hurriedly. "Our president is going to get angry. Besides, if you dare harbor any improper thoughts about her, her maternal grandmother and her parents won’t let you off. In terms of family background or achievements, she’s way out of our league. Don’t even think about it."

Wu Tian turned to look and, sure enough, Qin Yuhan’s stunning phoenix eyes were fixed on him in an icy glare.

Wu Tian immediately said, "You’ve all misunderstood. I just think this woman has potential. If I were to train her, her future would be limitless."

"Pfft."

Qin Yuhan’s haughty and public display of contempt caused many of the men nearby to nearly swoon.

Qin Yuhan said coldly, "You want to teach her? What could you possibly teach her? Guli Weileng is a genius. Ever since elementary school, she has been completely self-taught and has excelled at everything."

Wu Tian shook his head. The teaching he referred to was actually of the Martial Path.

Liang Qingren’s Physique was the Earth Fleeing Golden Light. And this Guli Weileng’s Physique was also extraordinary—it was the Transforming Rivers into Land. Of course, as the Immortal Emperor, he would never stoop to going up to her and asking, "May I take you as my disciple?" He could never bring himself to do such a thing. Therefore, whether they were fated to be master and disciple would all depend on destiny.

Qin Yuhan and the others entered the airport, heading in the exact same direction as Guli Weileng. There were many other corporate figures in that area as well. They must have also received the news and come to the airport to greet the arrival, all of them hoping to make an impression on the Kuangte Family.

"I really didn’t expect this. It’s not just people from legitimate companies; even gangsters from the Underworld are here, hoping to get help from the Kuangte Family." Lin Fa pointed at a few fierce-looking men in black suits ahead. "See that? The leader is Axe Four. He used to compete with ’Big Knife’ Liu Wu for control of Yang City’s Underworld. It’s strange, though. ’Big Knife’ Liu Wu actually left Yang City, so now Axe Four is the top dog. I also heard he has a thing for Guli Weileng."

Just as Lin Fa finished speaking, they heard Guli Weileng snap at Axe Four from a short distance away, "Can you please stop bothering me? I don’t like you."

"Understood."

Wu Tian had expected Axe Four to lose his temper, but instead, after being told off by Guli Weileng, the fierce-looking man completely deflated and began to stutter. Seeing this, Wu Tian smiled. He understood now that Guli Weileng was a little firecracker, completely different from the Empress.

The people from the Kuangte Family had not yet arrived, so everyone from the various companies waited quietly. The Yang City airport was a truly bustling scene today.

Wu Tian stood there and stretched his arms, bored. Lin Fa took the opportunity to tell him about the ten great families of Europe. He explained that as formidable as the Kuangte Family was, they only ranked tenth, at which point Wu Tian directly asked which family was number one.

"Of course it’s the Rothschild Family," Lin Fa said with a reverent expression. "You must have heard of this family, right? It’s a long-standing and world-renowned financial dynasty with roots in Europe. It originated in the early 19th century with its founder, Mayer Rothschild. He and his five sons, also known as ’Rothschild’s Five Arrows,’ established banks in major European cities like London, Paris, Vienna, Frankfurt, and Naples. Now, they operate from behind the scenes. They’re truly terrifying."

Just then, people from the Nalan Group arrived and stood near the contingent from the Qin Corporation.

Bing Hong called out excitedly, "I heard their team leader this time is Hua Biehe! Nalan Jie must really value him."

"I’ve heard that Hua Biehe is very handsome."

"His business skills are even stronger than Nangong Yi’s."

"Which one is he?"

Among the department heads and deputy heads Qin Yuhan had brought, there were quite a few women. They all immediately looked over, eager to see the famous Hua Biehe for themselves.

Hua Biehe was the quintessential rags-to-riches story in Yang City. He came from a rural background, and now, many teachers in the countryside and small towns used him as an example. "Just because we’re from a small place doesn’t mean we can’t succeed," they would say. "Look at Hua Biehe. Like you, his starting line was behind others, but he ended up running much farther than some of those second-generation rich kids."

Lin Fa clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the approaching man. He was dressed in a white shirt, a black tie, and a casual suit, looking irresistibly dashing.

Wu Tian looked at Lin Fa and chuckled softly. "You know him?"

Lin Fa nodded. He began to speak to Wu Tian in a low voice, revealing a part of his past he was normally reluctant to mention. But in front of his Boss, he felt comfortable enough to share. It turned out that he and Hua Biehe had been friends since they were toddlers.
