Chapter 1127: Section 700: The Oath (Part 4)
Many guests attended the Meng family dinner party; not to mention City Lord in charge of this region and various other families, even Sage Fang from the Southeast Region came.
He is a sage who looks quite old, with long eyebrows and white beard; his body modification only left a head, but thanks to artificial skin, he still appears human. As for why Malin knows this, it’s obviously due to Jason’s scan result.
Reportedly human, but he doesn’t look the age a human should—Bei Luo says he’s almost a hundred and fifty.
He also finds it odd, but the Sage Tower and their Machine Intelligence City are merely partners. Sage Fang took the position when he was young, and beyond that, Bei Luo knows nothing about him.
However, according to everyone, it should be due to the longevity medicine from before the great destruction; Bei Luo believes this, as there are indeed records of some unusually long-lived individuals having such experiences.
Of course, to Malin, all this should only be nonsense—whose longevity medicine lasts eight millennia, pharmaceutical company’s brains must have flooded.
It should be a special genetic adjustment or mutations over a long time. To explain their longevity, these guys made up such a reason, and afterward, everyone thought this method was good and naturally copied it.
Tonight’s dinner, besides Sage Fang, most prominent families from New Hangzhou attended, even the parents of the kid who ran off at noon came. The old man surnamed Li seemed to know Madam Meng, being higher in rank than her. Although he couldn’t see Malin’s real strength, he could see Malin’s minimum value at first glance; calling Malin "little brother" endearingly so much that his grandson turned green with the look of someone sold out by their ancestors, making anyone feel compassionate.
This old man Li even introduced his silly grandson to Malin, saying if he doesn’t mind, his grandson could be Malin’s guide, familiar with the vicinity of New Hangzhou.
He didn’t mention Meng Quyi, which gave Malin a deeper understanding of the old folks’ adaptability—whether Eastern Land or Westland, the elders operated similarly.
Malin of course said he didn’t need it, then called out Bei Luo.
