Chapter 224: Cultivation is worse than dancing(1/2)
The change of leaders of the Hufang Sect has nothing to do with Fang Xing, and he doesn't care about these things either.
However, Fang Xing knew that Shi Huoshuo and Dendrobium both came here, so he would definitely not be here to chat with him.
So Fang Xing nodded and looked at it with a look of scrutiny.
At this time, Dendrobium took over the conversation and continued:
"As my brother said, the resignation of the leader is no less than a major earthquake for the Hufang faction.
Many people's positions will change as a result.
My brother has successfully completed this internal work and his ability has been recognized by senior executives of the Hufang School.
During this position change, he was fortunate to be nominated as Nie Duzhi Jinwu."
Fang Xing heard this and said directly to Shi Huoshuo with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Shi, congratulations on your success."
Seeing this, Shi Huoshuo showed joy in his eyes, but he still said gratefully:
“Where, where.
In the last action, if it weren’t for fellow Daoist Fang’s strength to turn the tide, let alone compete for the position of Jinwu, it would be a question whether I could still stand here.”
Fang Xing not only did not take credit when he heard this, but instead said jokingly:
"Haha, I am not a monk from the Hufang Sect. Even if Fellow Daoist Shi takes all his credit on me, I won't get any benefits.
Moreover, the auction venue was overcrowded at that time.
If it weren't for fellow Daoist Shi to organize the division, even if I had great skills, I wouldn't be able to kill the target without any enemies on all sides.
Therefore, fellow Taoist Shi doesn’t have to be modest.”
Although Fang Xing's words were a bit quarrel, he was still dissatisfied with Shi Huoshuo's concealment of Nie Du's arrival.
But as Fang Xing said, as an outsider, it doesn't make sense to take all the credits.
It’s better to treat it as a favor and let Shi Huoshuo take it as an advancement step.
Fang Xing never forced such a thing as saving a life, after all, he couldn't force it.
But at least during the period when Nie Du stayed temporarily, with the relationship between the Shi brothers, Fang Xing and his group could live relatively comfortably.
Especially if Shi Huoshuo becomes Nie Duzhi Jinwu, with his right to control the safety of the entire city, Fang Xing and others can live here with greater confidence and boldness.
When Shi Huoshuo heard Fang Xing’s words here, he looked grateful.
Then he spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Fang, we are here to invite you to attend the banquet held by the Hufang Temple next week."
After listening to Shi Huoshuo's narrative, Fang Xing understood the purpose of this banquet.
It turned out that this banquet was the departure banquet of the leader of the Hufang Sect.
It is also a stage where newcomers like Shi Huoshuo are familiar with each other.
In order to show your connections and friendship, newcomers usually invite qualified guests to attend this banquet. To put it bluntly, they are looking for someone to support the scene.
Fang Xing is not only a mid-level monk, but also a personal participant in the last time he met Xiaoyang City.
In addition, the two sides knew each other, so the first invitation partner that the two brothers of the Shi family thought of was naturally Fang Xing.
Everyone carries the flower sedan chairs. Fang Xing has no reason to refuse such things that he does not need to pay anything and just stands up for others.
Moreover, the Shi brothers invited Fang Xing not only, but many outsiders must have attended the banquet.
At that time, it will be difficult for Fang Xing to emerge among the crowd.
Without any worries, Fang Xing agreed immediately.
Seeing that his purpose was achieved, Shi Huoshuo and the others left Fang Xing's residence with a smile.
…………
A week passed by, and Fang Xing arrived at the venue of the Hufangpai Banquet as promised.
After scanning the identity of the identifier at the door, Fang Xing walked through a metal porch and entered the banquet hall alone.
As Fang Xing thought, the huge banquet hall was already crowded.
In addition to the monks of the Hufang Sect, a large number of outsiders such as Fang Xing were gathered here.
When Fang Xing came in, the Dendrobium not far away immediately noticed it. He walked up and greeted Fang Xing enthusiastically.
"Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Fang. My brother is really flawless at this time and has no way to entertain fellow Taoists himself."
Dendrobium had a helpless look on his face, and at the same time pointed at a group of people in the distance.
Fang Xing followed the direction of his finger and soon saw Shi Huoshuo who was surrounded by a group of people.
As a city sheriff, Zhi Jinwu has great power.
Even if he does not hold a position within the faction, he is already the No. 3 person under the leader and the whip master.
As a newly appointed person who holds real power, it is normal for Shi Huoshuo to be content with someone.
Fang Xing didn't care much about this and chatted with Dendrobium.
After a while, another invited person came here. Dendrobium complained to Fang Xing and hurriedly greeted others.
In this way, Fang Xing leisurely found a corner to sit down.
It would be better for someone like Fang Xing, who doesn't want to cause trouble, to be able to mess up the whole banquet without attracting attention.
However, just when Fang Xing was happy about this, someone behind him suddenly spoke to him.
"Dare you ask the guest if you need alcohol."
Fang Xing heard this and quickly looked back.
It turned out that a banquet waiter was standing not far behind him, and he was holding a plate of wine in his hand.
However, the waiter was obviously a novice.
Because the tray in his hand was trembling slightly at this time, and the wine vessel on it also made a jingle sound.
However, in this noisy banquet environment, this slight sound was completely covered up.
However, this cannot escape the perception of the memes in Fang Xing's body.
In order not to let the other party go for nothing, Fang Xing friendly and took a glass of wine from the other party's tray.
However, before Fang Xing could drink, Shi Huoshuo, who had finally escaped from the crowd, walked towards him.
"Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Fang, the people present were so enthusiastic.
To be honest, I have been in Hufang Sect for quite some time. It’s the first time I know I’m so popular.”
Listening to Shi Huoshuo's complaints, Fang Xing pushed the drink in front of him and said with a smile:
"As long as Fellow Daoist Shi maintains his current position, you can continue to become the target of others in this way.
By the way, Nie Duzhi Jinwu, the previous one, doesn’t know where he is now.”
On this side, Shi Huoshuo was not polite, so he grabbed the wine glass and drank the wine inside.
Just as he put down his wine glass and was about to answer Fang Xing's question, the entire banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
Then, the group of three came to the center of the banquet stage.
These three people took the stage one after another, and the person at the end was Chen Changqing, the whip leader of the Tiger Party who almost wanted the other party to attack last time.
Since Chen Changqing is at the end, there is no need to guess the identities of the two people in front of him. He must be the leader of the Hufang Sect and his successor.
And at this moment, Shi Huoshuo, who was beside him, came over and said in a low voice:
"Didn't Fellow Daoist asked my ex-后 where his ex-后后后, right? That's the one in the middle of the platform.
Alas, I don’t know if I will be the leader of the sect in the future.”
As he said that, Shi Huoshuo looked envious.
Obviously, the taste of power for the first time made Shi Huoshuo feel the desire to climb up.
And here, Fang Xing looked dazed.
However, he was still a little fun and took a look at Chen Changqing at the end.
Following the normal process, it is definitely not the turn of the faction leader to be the leader of Jinwu.
From this we can see the situation of the whip master of the Tiger Sect at this time.
Then, the former leader and successor delivered speeches in turn, leaving Chen Changqing, the whip master aside.
The existence of the opinions of the Whip Lord as a united member of the faction depends entirely on his personal prestige to perform his duties.
Now that Chen Changqing is left on the stage, even a fool can see that he is being excluded.
This was an extremely important blow to his prestige.
However, Fang Xing admired this person a little.
