I saw many people dressed in completely unconventional clothes appearing in front of the White Crane Tower. Their auras were as deep as the abyss.
Their appearance seemed to condense the void.
Everyone was forced to hold their breath involuntarily, and no one dared to breathe out.
On the contrary, juniors like Wu Qingqing felt that the atmosphere was very coercive, but they were still a little confused. They just thought that these people looked very strange, as if they were filming a martial arts TV series.
If I hadn't known that this was the place where the Xiao family's birthday ceremony was held, I would have thought I was walking into a filming location.
At this time, we could see a group of people pouring out of the White Crane Tower to greet them. The leader was Xiao Zhenshan, the old man of the Xiao family.
"Why are these people here?" Wu Qingqing's father, Wu Yingyuan, murmured to himself with a look of horror in his eyes.
"Dad, who are they? Why are they even grander than the six major families? Even the old man of the Xiao family came out to greet them personally." Wu Qingqing couldn't help but ask.
"They are... great masters." Wu Yingyuan said with a solemn tone, as if those three words were a taboo.
A family that ranks second in Yanjing is definitely one of the first in the local government. If Wu Yingyuan goes to the local government, he will definitely be able to talk to a feudal official on an equal footing.
Therefore, the hidden door is not a secret to people at their level.
But for juniors like Wu Qingqing, the Hidden Sect is a bit far away.
Although I heard a few words about it, they were superficial and I didn’t pay too much attention to them.
"What is a Grand Master? Is it very powerful?" Wu Qingqing asked curiously.
"Of course they are awesome. They are all martial arts legends and living myths."
Standing next to Wu Qingqing, a young man who was no more than two years older than her curled his lips and said: "Uncle Wu, are they just a group of martial arts practitioners? That's not surprising. We have hired several people at home.
A master of inner strength..."
The young man and Wu Qingqing were close friends for a long time, he said show off.
But before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man standing next to Wu Yingyuan suddenly turned around, covered the young man's mouth, and shouted in a horrified tone: "Shut up, you want to die."
Don’t drag the family into trouble.”
The young man covered his mouth tightly and saw a look of horror in his father's eyes.
I couldn't help but be scared too.
Because he had never seen his father so gloomy.
After all, anyone who can climb to the position of the patriarch of a second-tier family in Yanjing is definitely a powerful figure.
But now, he saw that there was no trace of the usual domineering and confidence in his father's eyes, only deep fear.
The people from the major families in Yanjing next to them even took a few steps back without leaving a trace, as if they were infected with the plague.
"Brother Liu, those who don't know are not guilty. I think Ziyao is also unintentional. He should not be punished by heaven and man." Wu Yingyuan and the head of the Liu family have known each other for many years. It is not good to just walk away and persuade him.
One sentence.
The head of the Liu family slowly let go of Liu Ziyao's mouth and said sternly: "You evil son, if you talk nonsense again, get out of Yanjing."
Liu Ziyao was obedient. He didn't know why his father was so angry.
There was still a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Qingqing on the side suddenly understood that the head of the Liu family was only so scared because Liu Ziyao had said something disrespectful to the Grand Master just now. But when she understood, she was even more shocked.
Just an unintentional remark made the head of the Liu family, who was almost as powerful as the Wu family, afraid of becoming like this.
How high is the status of the Grand Master?
…
When many families outside the White Crane Tower caused a lot of commotion because of the appearance of the great master.
Inside the White Crane Tower, it was like a heavy bomb had been dropped.
After all, those who can enter the White Crane Tower are all giants or members of the first-line large families in Yanjing, and they have a deeper understanding of the Hidden Sect.
Pei Keqing and a group of Yanjing's top young men and princesses stood at the railing on the second floor of the White Crane Tower, drinking tea and chatting.
People entering the White Crane Tower are also divided into different levels. The first floor is the celebration venue, and the upper level is where the distinguished guests rest. The higher the level, the higher the status.
It seems that the younger generations of these top families are gathered on the second floor.
Their parents are upstairs.
Pei Keqing was originally qualified to go to the third floor. After all, most of the Pei family's properties were now taken over by her, and she was considered half the head of the Pei family. However, Pei Keqing was too lazy to pretend to be a grandson.
After all, no matter how powerful she is, her seniority is laid out there. There are all her elders upstairs, and their status is ridiculously high. When she enters, she will be shorter first.
In addition, she, the most beautiful woman in Yanjing, is like a piece of cake. Not only her peers are eyeing her, but also the elders, who want their children to marry Pei Keqing. After all, who can marry Pei Keqing?
, almost all the resources of the Pei family were taken over.
Some elders had come to force her to get married countless times, so she might as well just be more comfortable downstairs.
Of course, it won't be very comfortable either.
There were still a lot of people around her, but she was used to it. After all, she had been known as the most beautiful woman in Yanjing for more than a day or two.
Suddenly I heard the sound of singing outside.
Then I saw the old man of the Xiao family coming down from upstairs and personally welcoming the powerful men from the Hidden Sect.
The level of people in Pei Keqing's circle is obviously much higher than that of Wu Qingqing's circle.
There is also more information at hand.
The young men and princesses all looked shocked after hearing those names.
"The Taiji Sect Master, the Emei Sect Master, the Great Celestial Master of Tianshi Dao... these are all the top ten great masters on the Dragon Ranking, Taishan Beidou level figures of the Hidden Sect, how come the Xiao family invited them all here." Zhou
Wen Yan's eyes flashed with disbelief in his tone.
Pei Keqing also stared at the door downstairs and saw the grand masters who came in with an aura as deep as the ocean, greeted by Mr. Xiao.
"It's really them."
"The Xiao family and the Yinmen have never been in harmony. After all, the Xiao family controls the Dragon Group and the Special Branch, which are all designed to supervise the Yinmen. Why did they come to the Xiao family's birthday party?"
Pei Keqing frowned slightly, her eyes shone with wisdom, and she pinched gently with her fingers. After a moment, Pei Keqing's eyes shrank sharply, and she murmured: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong and the Xiao family."
This birthday party is probably not that simple."
"Ke Qing, what are you talking about?" Zhou Wenyan asked.
"It's nothing," Pei Keqing shook his head: "I just find it strange that these old guys are out of business."
"We have all underestimated the Xiao family. We can actually invite so many great masters to build momentum for them." Zhou Wenyan sighed: "I'm afraid that as soon as today's birthday party is over, the Xiao family will secure the throne of the first family in Yanjing and even China.
