Chapter: 5467

"Chen Zonghe smiled and teased: 'You're not referring to the matter of renovating the hotel, are you? My point is, do you need me to lend a hand on your side, and I'll respond immediately and provide support whenever needed.'"

"Hong Five spoke mysteriously: 'Chen General, I actually have something that requires your personal effort here.'"

"Simple as pie," Chen Zonghe quickly replied. "My subordinates will follow your instructions over here."

"Hong Five laughed and said: 'I don't need your subordinates; I need you to personally put in some work.'"

"I?" Chen Zonghe asked curiously: "What do you need me to do?"

"Hong Five chuckled and spoke seriously: 'I need you to take some time off and come over, just like old classmates.'"

Hong Five laughed and said, "I don't need your subordinates; I need you to personally put in some work."

"I?" Chen Zonghe asked curiously: "What do you need me to do?"

"Hong Five chuckled and spoke seriously: 'I need you to take some time off and come over, just like old classmates.'"

Chen Zonghe saw Hong Five's joking expression and teased him back, saying, "Alright then, Hong Five! I don't know what you're thinking. You must be free with nothing to do and picking on me for no reason! Even though we're both in our mid-40s, you're still trying to get us back into the old routine, aren't you?"

"Really not!" Hong Five said seriously, looking upset. "We've had a fate-driven connection since ancient times. Do you think I could just mess with you like that?"

As he spoke, he quickly added, "Alright then, Chen Zonghe! I'm not going to joke around anymore. Let's talk honestly. You must know that Master Ye recently renovated the Xiang Xi Li Hot Springs, right? And do you know what Master Ye is using this place for?"

Chen Zonghe said, "I know. The young master isn't planning to cultivate a batch of martial arts experts there, are they? What does this have to do with us?"

Hong Five chuckled. "Today, I had the guts to ask Master Ye about our situation and told him that we both want to practice martial arts and asked for his help..."

As soon as Chen Zonghe heard these words, he was excitedly asking, "What did he say?!"

Hong Five laughed. "Look at you! I've already said that we're old classmates together. Don't you understand what I mean?"

Chen Zonghe was overjoyed and exclaimed eagerly, "Did the young master agree?!

"That's for sure!" Hong Five said with a laugh. "The young master has said that this training session is a system teaching from scratch, and since we both haven't entered the martial arts world yet, it's perfect timing for us to learn together and absorb as much as possible!"

"That's amazing!" Chen Zonghe exclaimed enthusiastically. "Hong Five... oh no, Five Brother! My good Five Brother! You really made me happy this time!"

Before today, although Chen Zonghe and Hong Five had a relatively good relationship, there was still a certain gap in their social standing.

Chen Zonghe is actually the representative of the Ye family in Jinling, while Hong Wu Five is just a lowly individual from humble beginnings. So, from the outset, Chen Zonghe's circle of influence was higher than Hong Five's.

Plus, Chen Zonghe is also Ye Chen's subordinate, and Hong Five is only a half-fledged disciple who was taken in by Ye Chen. From this point of view, Chen Zonghe's status is even higher than Hong Five's.

Hong Five himself is aware of this, so although he may be older than Chen Zonghe, when he sees Chen Zonghe, he still has to address him as "Chen General" with respect and politeness.

And Chen Zonghe's calling Hong Five "Five Brother" really struck a chord in Hong Five's heart, making him feel at ease and happy.

However, he didn't get carried away just because of Chen Zonghe's calling him "Five Brother". Instead, he smiled and said, "I won't say anything else? We're like old friends, so why be so polite with each other? You'd better hurry up and arrange the matters at Bai Jinyuan Palace, as you might have to stay here for a long time after this training session!" JrNovels.com
