A grand banquet was being held in this restaurant. The five-story building was decorated with lights, carriages were parked beside the lane, and there was an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate them.
The hall on the first floor was brightly lit, and Qiu Zhong, wearing a purple robe, accepted the congratulations from the guests with a smile on his face.
Most of these guests are related to the Xu family, or are representatives of families or firms with future business prospects. They are not big shots, but they are not ordinary people either.
Originally, Qiu Zhong was just the housekeeper of the Xu family. Although he had a very close relationship with the head of the family, Xu Xinlan, he was ultimately a servant and was not qualified to be on an equal footing with these figures.
However, Qiu Zhong is now a member of the Purple Mansion!
Although Zifus are everywhere in Wanling City and are not rare at all, in this world where strength is respected, the Zifu monks are already above most people.
It is worthy of their polite blessings and gifts.
Moreover, Qiu Zhong, the Master of the Purple Mansion, is quite extraordinary. He has broken through a great realm at the age of eighty.
Although throughout the ages, there are many examples of monks making breakthroughs near their end, but compared to the huge number of monks, the proportion is really pitiful.
Qiu Zhong's promotion can be regarded as a small miracle!
But this was not the whole reason why guests received invitations from the Xu family and came one after another to attend the "Fan for Promotion of Residence".
Many people noticed the young monk standing next to Xu Xinlan.
Everyone knows very well that this is the Xu family’s new worshiper, Wang Chen, an inner disciple of the Xihai Sect!
The Xu family is really full of energy!
They sighed secretly in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere.
There were so many guests in the Xifu Building, they were drinking and drinking, it was really lively to the extreme.
As the head of the family, Xu Xinlan recalled how a few months ago, there were few cars and horses in front of her house, and relatives and friends stayed away, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in her heart.
She couldn't help but look at Wang Chen beside her, her eyes filled with emotion.
Xu Xinlan couldn't imagine what kind of fate she would have fallen into without Wang Chen!
No matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with happiness and well-being.
Wang Chen noticed Xu Xinlan's look and smiled slightly.
Three days ago, Qiu Zhong, also known as Uncle Zhong, came out of seclusion and stabilized his realm to become a true monk of the Zifu.
As the news spread, those who coveted the Xu family basically disappeared.
There is more than one level difference between having one Zifu in a family and having two Zifu.
The latter is much more confident than the former.
Although there are many Zifu families in Wanling City, which can overwhelm the Xu family, such families will not covet a widow's "small" wealth.
The people who had designs on Xu Xinlan before can no longer afford to offend the Xu family now!
If there are no accidents, the Xu family can enjoy stability for decades.
This is the reason why Xu Xinlan held this "property promotion banquet" with great fanfare. She wanted to tell the world that she was not a target that could be easily bullied and coveted.
In fact, according to Xu Xinlan's idea, she planned to recognize Qiu Zhong as her adoptive father.
This is also in line with Qiu Zhong's current identity.
However, Qiu Zhong refused and insisted on continuing to serve as the housekeeper of the Xu family and serving Xu Xinlan for the rest of his life.
Xu Xinlan felt guilty, so she booked half of the Xifu Tower to celebrate him.
At this time, several more guests entered the hall. They probably had unusual identities. Xu Xinlan immediately went over to greet them.
At this time, a maid came to Wang Chen and respectfully presented a letter with both hands: "Master, this is a distinguished guest upstairs who asked the maid to present it to you."
"Um."
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, he took the letter, opened it and glanced at it.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Take me up."
"yes."
The maid bent her knees and bowed, then led Wang Chen to the top floor of Xifu Tower.
Xifu Building is considered to be a high-end restaurant in Wanling City, so Xu Xinlan can only book half of the building to host the "promotion banquet". This is not because she is reluctant to part with the spirit stone, but because of the limitations of her identity and status.
This is still under the condition that the Xu family has two Zifu, otherwise it would be very honorable to book the hall.
"Master, please."
The maid opened the door to a private room.
I saw three men and two women sitting inside, a total of five young monks. Among them, the one sitting in the chair was wearing the uniform of an inner disciple of the Xihai Sect, and the remaining four were all outer disciples.
When Wang Chen stepped into the private room, the inner disciple smiled and said, "Junior brother Wang Chen, I take the liberty of inviting you here, please don't take offense."
He stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down."
The other four people had no intention of getting up, and just looked at Wang Chen with either curiosity or indifference.
Quite rude.
But most of these young monks have arrogant faces, and they look like people with extraordinary backgrounds.
Wang Chen calmly cupped his hands and said, "I've met Senior Brother Liang."
The inner disciple who invited him to meet was named Liang Xun. He did not recognize him at all and had never seen him before.
So I have no idea what the other party is looking for.
But Wang Chen intuitively felt that it was probably not a good thing!
He sat down in the empty seat opposite Liang Xun.
After the maid poured Wang Chen a cup of spiritual tea, she consciously left the private room.
Wang Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked bluntly: "Senior Brother Liang, what's the matter with you inviting me here?"
His tone was very calm, even with a hint of harshness.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Liang Xun's eyes, and he immediately smiled and said: "Junior Brother Wang is the rising star of our Xihai Sect. Originally, I wanted to get to know you, so that we can communicate with each other in the sect in the future. Multiple friends have many names.
road."
After a pause, he continued: "Since junior brother is so direct, then senior brother, I will get straight to the point."
Liang Xun stared at Wang Chen: "I would like to ask my junior brother to give up participating in this year's external examination and not to be Zuo Xiaomo's protector!"
His eyes were aggressive and undeniable!
"But I have promised Zuo Xiaomo."
Wang Chen ignored the other party's look and replied calmly: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow."
It's just that his heart is not as calm as on the surface.
Wang Chen didn't expect that this inner disciple actually came for Zuo Xiaomo!
"Junior Brother Wang..."
Liang Xun put on a look like "You can't control the water at the outer gate because the water is deep outside." He shook his head and said, "The Kowloon Underground Palace is a dangerous place now, and it's not that easy to be a protector!"
He lowered his voice: "As long as you are willing to give up, I can introduce you to a senior brother from the Xuanyuan lineage."
"Junior Brother Wang, opportunities like this don't come easily!"
This inner disciple showed a "you have to cherish it" expression, and his eyes were quite vivid.
Wang Chen wanted to laugh.
Is it considered a precious opportunity to introduce someone to an entry-level disciple?
To be honest, he really couldn't understand this guy's brain circuit, and the taste of daddy in his mouth was too strong!
