In the restaurant lobby, many people who know each other and are relatively close gather together to chat.
Each of the five major forces in the Holy City is composed of many small forces.
For example, under the four major families, there are dozens of affiliated families. Most of the people gathered in the restaurant at this time are from these affiliated families.
These families are the ones who are most eager to enhance their voice in the Holy City. It can also be said that they want to enhance their voice in front of the four major families.
"oh?"
"Brother Gao, are you here too?"
In the restaurant, a young man of medium height wearing white clothes smiled and said to the two people who had just entered the door.
If Xia Yan had seen the two people who had just walked in, he would have greeted them immediately. These two people were none other than Gao Mingyue and Wan Qiu, members of the Gao family. The Gao family was a family affiliated with the Chang family.
The young man who greeted Gao Mingyue belongs to a family that is also affiliated with the Chang family. Although the two families appear to outsiders to be the same force and both belong to the Chang family, secretly they are also affiliated with each other.
Fighting for their own interests.
After all, everyone has selfish motives, and everyone wants to maximize the interests of their family as much as possible.
This young man's name is Feng He, and he is the young master of the Feng family.
He also came specially to see Xia Yan today.
"Haha, it's Mr. Feng, have you been here a long time ago?" Gao Mingyue said with her fists clasped.
When she glanced around and saw many people gathered in the hall, Gao Mingyue smiled in her heart and knew it, and a smile appeared on her face.
He thought to himself, "Brother Xia Yan is really hard to see. I'm afraid these people haven't met Brother Xia Yan yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been waiting here."
"Oh, I just arrived too. No, I just finished registering at the counter and saw you and your wife coming in." Feng He said with a smile on his face.
He and Gao Mingyue were friendly on the surface, but secretly they were rivals. With two families fighting secretly, it would be rare for the young masters of the two families to become true friends.
"Do you still need to register?" Gao Mingyue was stunned.
"Gao Mingyue." At this time, a voice came from the side. Gao Mingyue and Wan Qiu turned their eyes and saw a tall mercenary not far away.
This mercenary is from Biqingtang, but he has a good relationship with Gao Mingyue. Gao Mingyue is a mercenary herself, and occasionally completes some adventurous missions, so she knows many mercenaries who are close friends in life and death.
"Huh?" Gao Mingyue said with joy on her face when she saw the mercenary, "Fan Ping, you are here too."
"Yes, I'm also waiting to see that Xia Yan. Alas, but Xia Yan is too arrogant. I've been waiting for almost two hours and I haven't seen anyone yet. The waiter said that Xia Yan is practicing, so let's
We'll wait, please leave before you wait." Fan Ping said helplessly.
After waiting for so long, no matter how good-tempered he is, he will definitely feel a little dissatisfied. This Fan Ping has a relatively straightforward temperament. Unlike others, he doesn't show his dissatisfaction directly. He just shows his dissatisfaction on his face.
Seeing Fan Ping like this, Gao Mingyue could only smile and said, "What about Mr. Jiao Ziming and Fang Kui?"
Jiao Ziming and Fang Kui are also the targets that various families and forces are trying to win over. They can't see Xia Yan, the strongest and the most potential, but it would be good to see these two people.
"Don't mention it. If Xia Yan doesn't come out, neither will the two of them. Gao Mingyue, come and sit down. I don't believe they can stay up there without showing their heads. We'll wait." Fan Ping pointed to the seat next to him and gritted his teeth.
said.
"Okay." Gao Mingyue responded.
He turned his eyes and looked at Feng Hedao, "Mr. Feng, I'll go over first and we'll talk again later."
"Brother Gao, it's easy." Feng He made a gesture of invitation, "But, Brother Gao, I think you should register first."
Feng He pointed at the counter again, where the waiter was standing with paper and pen and ink in front of him.
Gao Mingyue frowned slightly.
"Mingyue, go and register. If brother Xia Yan knows that we are coming, he will definitely meet us." Wan Qiu whispered in Gao Mingyue's ear.
Gao Mingyue pondered for a while, and finally walked to the counter and wrote only two names, Gao Mingyue and Wan Qiu. The waiter looked at the two of them, but did not dare to ask more questions. What did the person write?
What to send up there?
After Gao Mingyue finished writing, the waiter immediately sent the paper upstairs.
"Come down, come down!"
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, this person was among the crowd.
Hearing the shout, everyone looked upward, and sure enough they saw two figures appearing. Then, they saw Jiao Ziming and Fang Kui coming down from upstairs.
Jiao Ziming and Fang Kui walked downstairs and hugged everyone slightly.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. We just finished practicing upstairs and just found out that you were waiting below, so we came down immediately." Although Fang Kui said he was sorry, there was no apology on his face at all.
expression.
When everyone heard that he was practicing cultivation, they immediately waved their hands and said it was okay, and said hello one after another.
In fact, everyone knows very well that saying they were practicing just now is just an excuse.
"Brother Fang!" Feng He's voice came out clearly.
He and Fang Kui had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship. Fang Kui was training at Longteng Academy, which was only separated from the Holy City by Fengxiang City. Feng He could often meet with Fang Kui.
The reason why Fang Kui and Jiao Ziming came down from upstairs was because of Feng He's arrival. They had just seen Feng He's registration information upstairs.
"Haha, Brother Feng, you're here too." Fang Kui fixed his gaze on Feng He and shouted affectionately. Then he quickly stepped forward and hugged Feng He.
It looks like the relationship is extremely close!
Everyone else felt a little uncomfortable when they saw this scene. Feng He had actually been in contact with Fang Kui for a long time. They didn't expect that the relationship between these two people was so good.
"Feng He, you are really lucky!"
"Hmph, it seems that this Fang Kui is definitely going to get together with the Feng family. I wonder if this Jiao Ziming will also get close to the Feng family."
"hateful!"
Many people are a little unwilling to do so. However, there is nothing they can do about it. They can only watch and feel a little jealous.
"Brother Fang, is this brother Jiao Ziming?" Feng He looked at Jiao Ziming and said with a smile.
"It's Jiao Ziming of Kongling Academy." Fang Kui nodded.
"Brother Jiao Ziming is indeed extraordinary and a talented person. Haha, brother Jiao Ziming is also the leader of Kongling Academy. He will definitely pass the Tiangong exam smoothly." Feng He laughed and said.
"Young Master Feng praised me." Jiao Ziming said in a relatively calm manner, and did not appear too close to Feng He.
Feng He didn't care and continued to say a few nice words.
Seeing that Jiao Ziming did not show any obvious preference for Feng He, the others immediately became enthusiastic and began to build relationships with Jiao Ziming, complimenting him continuously for a while.
"Brother Fang, come, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Gao Mingyue. The Gao family is one of the largest families in the Holy City." Feng He raised his voice deliberately.
At the same time, he also winked at Fang Kui. Fang Kui immediately understood what Feng He meant.
Fang Kui also knew something about the messy relationships among the families in the Holy City. When he saw Feng He's hint, he knew that Feng He might not have a good relationship with Gao Mingyue.
"Haha, the Gao family?" Fang Kui sneered, "I really haven't heard of it. Although this holy city is not big, there are quite a few chaotic families."
Fang Kui said unceremoniously.
Originally, Gao Mingyue wanted to say a few polite words to Fang Kui, but when he heard what Fang Kui said, his expression immediately changed. He withdrew his eyes and looked at Feng He, feeling a surge of anger in his heart.
Feng Helian took a breath and said in a surprised tone, "Brother Fang, this is because you don't know something. Brother Gao, we have a lot of connections in our Holy City. He came today because he wanted to see that Xia Yan. He heard that the cultivator of Liantian Palace
Wang Yu was defeated by Mr. Xia Yan."
This Feng He obviously wanted to put Gao Mingyue in front of everyone.
Gao Mingyue became angry and was about to speak, but Wan Qiu quietly pulled his sleeve and her eyes flickered slightly.
"Mingyue, calm down." Wan Qiu whispered.
"Brother Feng, that Xia Yan is really powerful. Jiao Ziming and I both saw him defeat the Ling Sect strongman Wang Yu at the Purple Moon City Exchange Center." Fang Kui said, "But that Xia Yan is so arrogant.
Very, I'm afraid it's hard to see. Let alone a second- or third-rate family like the Gao family, Xia Yan may not be willing to see even people from the four major families."
As soon as Fang Kui said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed, and everyone held their breath.
Although everyone has long heard that Xia Yan defeated Tiangong practitioner Wang Yu, but now that he heard it again, it was said from the mouth of an extremely outstanding student who participated in the Super Academy Exchange Meeting, and he couldn't help but feel cruel in his heart again.
shock.
In the hall, people from the four major families also came. Hearing what Fang Kui said later, he was slightly unhappy.
However, Fang Kui's words about the Gao family being a second-rate or third-rate family were obviously a slap in Gao Mingyue's face. After all, the Gao family is an ancient family in the Holy City. If it were in an ordinary main city, then just one arm would be worth more than
Those families in the main city have much thicker thighs.
"Brother Fang, you and Xia Yan both participated in the Super Academy Exchange Meeting, so you should be able to talk to each other, right?" Feng He thought, and thought that if he could use Fang Kui to get in touch with Xia Yan, there might be something to be done.
As soon as Feng He spoke, everyone in the hall pricked up their ears.
Fang Kui was stunned and looked embarrassed. He and Xia Yan could indeed talk to each other, and the two of them had no real friendship, but he really didn't want to take the initiative to find Xia Yan.
But in front of so many people, his relationship with Feng He was so close, and Feng He asked in public, how could he refuse like this?
After thinking about it, Fang Kui thought to himself, "It should be possible to pull the strings. As for how Xia Yan and Feng He talk, I can't control it."
Immediately nodding, Fang Kui agreed, "Brother Feng, I'll give it a try. I think there should be no problem."
