Angelina gently held Lin Muping's hand and came to the banquet hall on the fifth floor.
There were two Jiang family servants at the door. Seeing another guest coming, they hurriedly opened the door.
This banquet hall looks like it is used for wedding celebrations. There are ten round tables arranged in fives and fives. There are twelve chairs beside each round table. Basically, there are three or four people sitting at each table.
According to the distance from the reception desk at the end of the room, the ten tables are labeled with numbers 1-10.
Angelina took a glance and found that Long Yingxiao and Mo Ziling were already seated at round table No. 3. Everyone had decided to go their separate ways, so she took Lin Muping to round table No. 4.
Shortly after Angelina sat down, Yang, Shao Tianhan and Dominic also entered the banquet hall. They chose round table No. 6, which had fewer people.
After more than ten minutes, there were more than fifty people sitting scattered around the ten round tables. Not counting the Jiang family who appeared on Sheshen Cliff in the early morning, most of the people present at that time came to the banquet.
"Then when will Jiang Mingyan come?"
A white-haired old man sitting at the same table as Long Yingxiao called the servant of the Jiang family who was waiting on the side and asked.
"Our young master will be here soon."
The boy bowed his head and said respectfully.
The white-haired old man nodded and let the boy leave.
Long Yingxiao looked at the old man, and he could tell by his voice that he should be the old man in black who had been opposing Jiang Mingyan yesterday.
It seemed that he saw Long Yingxiao looking at him. The white-haired old man's eyes were sharp and he shot back at Long Yingxiao.
The corners of Long Yingxiao's mouth raised slightly, he smiled unconsciously and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Despite this arrogance, if Jiang Mingyan wants to attack someone later, you will definitely be the first to die.
Long Yingxiao was thinking here, and Jiang Mingyan arrived at this moment.
He came from the small door next to the ceremonial stage on the inside of the room. As soon as he entered the room, he came to the ceremonial stage.
He was still dressed as he was in the morning, with Qianlong Zaiyuan's sword still hanging on both sides of his body.
There were only two people following him. These two people Long Yingxiao had met yesterday, one was Jiang Mingye and the other was Jiang Mingkong.
This time, when they were closer, Long Yingxiao saw the sword in Jiang Mingkong's hand.
The scabbard is decorated with gems of various colors, which looks extremely gorgeous. The background color is golden yellow, which makes it even more luxurious.
The golden sword grid extends to the tip of the sword, completely protecting the bottom of the sword's blade, and the second half of the sword's hilt curves to the left like a snake's tail.
Scale Pearl Sword.
Although this sword is not as suitable as the Jade Water Sword for exerting the power of Roushui swordsmanship, nor is it as unique a status symbol as the Qianlong Zaiyuan Sword, it is still a famous sword of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is really extremely rich, and everyone in their younger generation still has a famous sword in their hands, which is really enviable.
After Long Yingxiao saw the Linzhu Sword, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Of course, at this time, Long Yingxiao must have ignored his Seven Stars and Nine Swords.
"Dear friends, good evening to everyone."
On the podium, Jiang Mingyan was already standing in front of the microphone and said.
"I am Jiang Mingyan. Thank you very much for giving me Jiang the honor to come to the banquet tonight."
"I invite you all to come today, mainly because I want to show my friendship as a landlord and welcome friends who have come from afar."
"Secondly, Prime Minister Ming Yan wants to get to know you. It would be better if we could become friends. After all, as the old saying goes, rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. Many friends lead to many paths. If we meet in the world in the future, it will be better.
It’s easy to take care of one or two.”
Jiang Mingyan was still talking about these scenes, but Long Yingxiao caught a word in his words that he had not heard for a long time.
Jianghu.
Times have changed from ancient times to modern times, and weapons have changed from cold to hot.
The feudal dynasty that existed for more than two thousand years has also ended.
Are the arenas that the predecessors were proud of still exist today?
If we look at the rivers and lakes based on the times, then the rivers and lakes must only exist among the grassy people who were unable to control the feudal dynasty due to the slow development of productive forces in the past.
There, how many people have heroic dreams of dominating the world by grabbing a martial arts secret book; how many people are eager for adventure on the cliff to help them escape from the ordinary life and find their own future; and how many people are there?
Live by this,
Licking blood from the edge of the knife just for the sake of a prosperous and happy life for the wife, children and children behind me...
If we look at Jianghu as a human being, Jianghu has never left.
After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Jianghu is a metaphor for interpersonal relationships.
If everyone is a drop of water, then rivers and lakes are the network of relationships that gather these water drops. People rely on rivers and lakes to live. Without rivers and lakes, a water drop is just an independent individual. It can never be integrated into the vast wave.
Go further.
Similarly, if there are no people in the arena and only the rules of the arena that serve human relationships are left, what is the use?
Therefore, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Jianghu can never be separated from people.
It's just that now, few people mention the word "jianghu" anymore.
What replaces it is called society.

"third……"
When Long Yingxiao suddenly realized, he found that Jiang Mingyan's words had been interrupted.
"Child of the Jiang family, are you done? We are here to hear you tell us about the clues to the Observation Stone. Don't talk about other useless things."
It was the white-haired old man who spoke. He had already stood up and pointed at Jiang Mingyan on the stage.
Don't blame the white-haired old man for being anxious. You agreed to hold a banquet at seven o'clock, and not only did you come late, but you also talked about such nonsense. Who wouldn't be anxious?
Although no one at the other tables stood up, many people followed suit.
"Mr. Jiang, stop being so pretentious and get down to business."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, tell me quickly."
"Say it quickly."
…
Looking back, Long Yingxiao also saw Yang's figure among those who agreed.
This kid.
Through the layers of crowds, Long Yingxiao also saw Long Ling sitting alone at table No. 9.
Long Ling was still wearing the clothes she had in the morning. Looking from a distance, she looked like a Tianshan snow lotus, aloof and cold.
Without looking much, after knowing that Long Ling had arrived, Long Yingxiao once again turned his attention to Jiang Mingyan on the stage.
"You haven't asked your senior for advice yet?"
Although everyone was impatient, Jiang Mingyan was still in no hurry. Instead, he asked the white-haired old man who spoke first.
"Han Tianliu."
The white-haired old man said his name directly without any disguise.
"But the famous tyrant Han Tianliu in the world?"
Jiang Mingyan was quite surprised and asked again.
"Apart from me, Han Tianliu, who else in the world dares to claim to be a master of swords?"
Han Tianliu said domineeringly.
Long Yingxiao looked at the tall figure standing sideways and recalled his deeds in his mind.
The tyrant Han Tianliu is the best swordsman in Yongzhou.
With a Tianliu sword named after himself, Han Tianliu surpassed all the great swordsman masters in Yongzhou and became the veritable number one swordsman in Yongzhou.
He also relied on his original sword-fighting technique to defeat Yun Tunlan, the current head of the Yun family. After this battle, his sword-fighting skills became famous all over the world.
"Disrespectful, it was Ming Yan who was abrupt."
The strength of this person is far beyond his imagination, Jiang Mingyan said respectfully.
"Boy, do you know my name? Can you speak now?"
"Senior Han has spoken, and Ming Yan naturally does not dare to disobey him. Please sit down."
Hearing that Jiang Mingyan was finally going to get down to business, Han Tianliu was willing to sit down.
"Everyone, at 1:15 this morning, silver light groups rose from various places in the Jianmen Scenic Area. Hundreds and thousands of them were countless. These light groups immediately transformed into spiritual beasts after they appeared. If someone takes action against them,
The spirit beasts will attack. If no one takes action, the spirit beasts will fight on their own until the final winner is determined."
"For the first time, the silver light group lasted only three minutes from rising to disappearing. We were not able to see the battle between the spiritual beasts and who would be the final winner."
"The second time, the silver light group lasted for half an hour from rising to the last big roc-shaped spiritual beast hitting the cliff."
"However, when we arrived at the Sheshen Cliff, we found that nothing existed."
"Jiang
There were some guesses at that time, but because there were no clues, I didn’t tell everyone clearly at that time. After dawn today, I went to the cliff of Sheshen to check again. Jiang was afraid that it was because it was dark in the early morning, and we
I didn't find anything, so I went there again during the day, but this time I still found nothing."
Everyone was a little angry when they heard this. Do you have any clues now?
"What do you mean, are you kidding us?"
When Han Tianliu heard this, his eyebrows furrowed and he stood up again.
"Senior Han, don't be anxious. It's not too late to get angry after listening to what this junior has to say."
After Jiang Mingyan stabilized Han Tianliu, he continued:
"Since everyone is interested in finding the Observation Stone, they must have heard of the legend of the Nine Star Stone. However, the legends circulated in the world only promote the power of the Nine Star Stone and do not tell how to find the Nine Star Stone."
Long Yingxiao nodded slightly, it was indeed the case. Before discovering the "Inheritance Notes", Long Yingxiao had only heard of the legend of the Star Stone. No matter which version of the legend, the description of the Nine Star Stone was very exaggerated, and he wished he could get a star.
Stone can rule the world.
"Although the Star Stone is powerful, it will certainly not be so powerful that no one can defeat it. On this point, everyone is an ability user, so Ming Yan probably doesn't need to say more."
"When the first star stone appeared in Ashikul, Yongzhou, Ming Yan began to search the existing ancient books of the Jiang family. Finally, after two days of non-stop searching, Jiang finally found how to determine the location of the star stone.
.”
When Jiang Mingyan said this, everyone present could not sit still. Most of them were casual cultivators or were from small families, so naturally they did not have the knowledge of the Jiang family.
At this moment, Jiang Mingyan was about to tell them how to find the Star Stone, and they couldn't wait to listen and go the next moment.
"That is to have two star stones first."
"Grass!"
A loud voice sounded, causing everyone to look towards the source of the sound.
Long Yingxiao couldn't help but look over. After taking a look, he felt a little dumbfounded.
The person who shouted the curse was none other than Jan Bibiyan.
This guy.
Long Yingxiao laughed and cursed in his heart.
"Jiang, don't think that just because you are the eldest son of Jiang, you can take advantage of us over and over again."
Han Tianliu spoke again, his eyes cold.
"Everyone, please be patient. I know that most people definitely don't have two star stones in their hands, but someone must have some. If not, there would be no Fire Star Stone - the Perfect Stone in Ashikul, Yongzhou.
.”
"On the evening of March 31st this year, there was a blue light standing vertically on the ground on Dengfeng City in Yuzhou, which could be seen by people with abilities within a radius of three thousand miles. This matter should be clear to everyone present.
However, within a few minutes, the blue light disappeared. Apparently its owner discovered that the aura of the star stone was exposed and put it away. Based on the light produced by the star stone, it was inferred that the star stone should be the water star stone.
——Romantic Stone.”
"On the evening of April 1, a fiery red light appeared in Dengfeng City, Yuzhou. The light started from Yuzhou and traveled more than 3,000 kilometers to Ashikul, Yongzhou. Based on the color of the light, it can be inferred that the star stone that appeared in Yongzhou
It is the perfect stone.”
"In the early morning of April 4th, a line of light perpendicular to the sky and the earth also appeared above the Ashikul volcano group in Yongzhou. It was the same as the situation in Dengfeng City in Yuzhou. By that time, the Perfect Stone should have been found."
"In other words, in the early morning of April 4th, he already possessed the Fire Attribute Perfect Stone, the Water Attribute Romance Stone, and another Star Stone with unknown attributes."
"In the early morning of April 5th, silver light appeared in the Ashkule volcano group in Yongzhou. Starting from there, the light pulled out a silver line of nearly 3,000 kilometers in the night sky, and finally stopped over Jianmen in Liangzhou."
"On April 6, that is, today, in the early morning, we saw a strange phenomenon in Jianmen Scenic Area."
"Speaking of this, what did everyone think of?"
After Jiang Mingyan finished speaking, he asked a question.
"Mr. Jiang, do you mean that that person may have arrived at Jianmen?"
