Chapter 253 Ye Family Banquet
"Ah, by the way, this is what Uncle Zhang asked me to give to you." After Xiaoyao cheered up, she suddenly remembered something and immediately took out an invitation and handed it to Xu Gu'an.

"Invitation?" Xu Guan was a little confused.

He had Zhang Yang politely decline all the ordinary invitations. This was the first post that came to him recently.

After opening it, he understood. No wonder Zhang Yang gave this invitation to him for review.

This is an invitation from the Ye family. To be more precise, it is an invitation personally given by Ye Tianhuan, the eldest young master of the Ye family.

Ye Tianhuan has achieved a breakthrough!
A 28-year-old Huajin expert, this is definitely a pretty good cultivation speed in today's world.

In this way, the possibility of taking Ye Tianhuan to the master realm has also increased a lot.

For such an important matter, the Ye family naturally held a banquet and invited all the influence and people inside and outside the city to come to the banquet.

Ye Tianhuan also took advantage of the situation and sent an invitation to Xu Guan.

"That's all, let's go there." Xu Guan accepted the invitation.

In any case, Ye Tianhuan had helped him a lot before and expressed a lot of kindness to him.

No matter how unkind he is, he still deserves a visit.

Not long after Xu Gu'an received the invitation, the news about Ye Tianhuan's entry into Xiantian Huajin had spread rapidly in the city's cultivation circles and instantly became a hot topic.

The most discussed topic is the possibility of another grandmaster being born in the Ye family in the future.

Two masters in one discipline!

This sounds amazing, and it is.

Usually, in a grandmaster family, in order to ensure that the family remains strong and prosperous, their first purpose must be to cultivate a grandmaster successor.

Before the grandmaster's deadline is approaching, if the next generation of grandmasters can be trained, then the family can continue to maintain its prosperity.

And once the last grandmaster dies and there is no new grandmaster for too long, then this so-called grandmaster family will gradually cease to exist in name only and will surely decline in the future.

The significance of a grandmaster to these aristocratic families can be imagined.

If there are one and two masters for a long time, the Ye family will not have to worry about the death of the master, and the current power of the Ye family will definitely be able to expand tremendously and reach a new level.

For the Ye family, there is nothing better than this.

Therefore, when Ye Tianhuan broke through the innate energy, their attention to Ye Tianhuan increased to the highest level.

All the Ye family have high hopes for this 28-year-old young master, expecting him to lead the Ye family to new heights.

Three days later.

Xu Guan looked at himself in the mirror, dressed in brocade clothes, while two women on the side were combing his short black hair.

"I said, there is no need to dress up like this." Xu Guan said helplessly. It was the first time for him to dress up like this.

Zhang Yang on the side repeatedly advised: "Master, since you have agreed to go to Ye Mansion as a guest to attend the banquet, you must not be careless about your clothes.

After all, it is the Ye family, and they will feel that you do not pay enough attention to them. Furthermore, in addition to being a student of the martial arts academy, you are also the president of the original Immortal Chamber of Commerce."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Xu Guan waved his hand.

These are the words that Zhang Yang kept talking about, but they did make sense. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to be a little lazy.

Zhang Yang has been with him for the longest time. Among his subordinates, he has the highest qualifications and achievements. He is the only one who can give such advice to Xu Guan.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Zhang Yang, who felt that he had established a firm foothold in the city a while ago, formally established the Chamber of Commerce after receiving Xu Guan's approval.

The name is also the same as before, it is called Yuanxian Chamber of Commerce.

The business of the entire chamber of commerce generally includes all its business projects with the prefix "Yuanxian", which is somewhat similar to the concept of company groups in previous lives.

Xu Guan is the boss behind the scenes, and Zhang Yang is his executive president, coordinating all matters of the entire Yuanxian Chamber of Commerce.

"Young Master is so majestic." Xiao Yao looked at Xu Guan and praised him curiously.

Wearing a lavender coat, combined with Xu Guan's already tall and broad figure, he indeed looked more majestic than usual, a little more noble, and a little less approachable.

"Okay, I won't take you there no matter how much I praise you." Xu Guan saw the girl's little thoughts and said quietly.

"Oh" Xiaoyao was a little disappointed.

"Whenever your cultivation level and strength satisfy me, I won't stop you from going anywhere." Xu Guan touched Xiaoyao's head and said in a slightly calmer tone.

"Yeah!" Xiaoyao cheered up a little.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Xiaoyao's talent meant that she couldn't show up at will.

After all, you may be targeted by those cultists or even other powerful and inexplicable forces at any time.

Therefore, until she has the strength to protect herself, her freedom is restricted for safety reasons.

That night, a banquet was held.

Outside Ye Mansion, there was a lot of traffic and it was very lively.

Most of the prominent people in the city have arrived. After all, in Suicheng, no one in the Ye family dares to deny their respect.

Those big forces are like this, and the small and medium-sized family forces are even more eager to have such an opportunity to show their faces in front of the Ye family, so how can they miss it.

The carriage stopped, and Xu Guan and Zhang Yang got off the carriage one after another.

"That's the Li family in the city. They are in the horse racing business. They are the second strongest force in the horse market in Suicheng."

"Young Master, that carriage should also have the impression that it belongs to the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce. They also have a large force stationed in Suicheng. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can start some cooperation with them."

"."

Looking at the surrounding dignitaries who also got off their carriages, Zhang Yang introduced Xu Guan one by one.

Even though he had not stayed in the city for too long, he had already become familiar with the various forces inside and outside the city.

He even has an idea of ​​which ones can be developed for cooperation in the future, which ones may be competitors, and which ones may have business conflicts.

In addition, many outstanding young people from this young master and that young master were also invited.

Including the Shen family.

"Hey, Brother Xu, what a coincidence." Shen Linfeng got off the carriage and happened to see Xu Guan and Zhang Yang, and couldn't help but smile.

Besides him, Shen Xi also jumped off the carriage.

Shen Xi was invited to accompany him on this trip as the eldest brother Shen Linfeng.

As for Zhongshan Shan, he did not come. Although the Ye family did not indicate how many people they could bring, but usually for such banquets, invited guests could only bring one person with them at most. This was considered the default rule.

Xu Guan smiled and nodded, saying hello to the two of them.

He was not very familiar with Shen Linfeng, he only knew him through Zhongshan Shan.

Although they were friends with Shen Xi, Shen Xi had always been a man of few words, so after a few brief words, they went into Ye Mansion to disperse.

A group of Ye family attendants greeted the distinguished guests at the door.

"Master, please show me your invitation so that I can give you a seat."

As soon as Xu Guan entered the door, a female attendant came forward to greet him with a salute.

Xu Guan nodded slightly, and Zhang Yang presented the invitation with the arranged seats written on it.

When the female attendant saw the seats, she looked at Xu Guan with a more respectful look.

"Sir, please come with me." The female attendant didn't even notice that she had already changed her title.He led Xu Guan all the way to the banquet hall of his house.

In the banquet hall, various decorations such as murals, jewelery, and a huge jade screen on the main seat are all luxurious.

Even Xu Guan couldn't help but take a second look.

"The decoration of a banquet hall like this will probably cost more than a thousand dollars." Xu Guan said in a low voice.

"Young Master doesn't know much about jewels and treasures. I'm afraid these decorations cost tens of thousands of gold." Zhang Yang glanced at them, then lowered his eyebrows and whispered back.

"Just such a banquet hall?" Xu Guan was a little surprised.

"En." Zhang Yang nodded.

"As expected of the Ye family." Xu Guan said to himself.

I'm afraid that just any decoration in this banquet hall can make ordinary people have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

He only studied the value of things related to cultivation and did not understand these luxury goods.

The Ye family has been in charge of the entire Suicheng for so many years, and has a grandmaster at their head as the Dinghai Shenzhen. The depth of the family's heritage is absolutely inestimable.

The entire banquet hall is divided into left and right sides, with three rows of seats arranged on each side, from the front to the end of the banquet hall.

At a glance, it seems that there are almost two hundred positions in total.

Most of the people were already sitting there, talking and drinking among themselves, and the atmosphere was already quite lively.

There is also piano music playing nearby, and the wonderful sound is lingering.

Xu Guan was placed at the head of the second column on the left.

"Sir, the Ye family seems to value you very much." Zhang Yang sat next to Xu Guan, leaning half back and pouring wine for Xu Guan.

"How can you tell?" Xu Guan asked, but he also noticed that after he sat down, many eyes fell on him.

It seems to be related to the position where he is sitting.

"Usually, at this kind of banquet, the first row is for the elders, who are arranged according to their power and status, and the second row is for the juniors, who are mostly arranged according to their personal status, strength and fame.

The Ye family has arranged for you to be at the top of the second row because they believe that you are the number one among the younger generation and the most qualified person to sit in this position. "Zhang Yang explained.

Xu Guan understood and guessed that Ye Tianhuan arranged it for him.

If anyone in the outside world knows Xu Guan's strength best, it must be the eldest son of the Ye family who has fought against him specifically.

It is reasonable to arrange this position for him.

After all, in terms of identity, he is the president of the Yuanxian Chamber of Commerce, so he has no background, not to mention his personal strength.

The innate state of being less than 20 years old, this alone can crush the vast majority of geniuses among the younger generation.

Therefore, he sat with peace of mind.

Shen Xi and Shen Xi were also sitting in the second row on the left, but their position was farther away from the [-]th position, relatively towards the back.

Although Shen Xi's personal qualifications are not inferior to those of the two Ye brothers, his starting point is too low after all, much lower than most of the local geniuses in the city.

At present, being ranked in this position is quite good, and she still surpasses many people with a deeper background than her.

After all, more young heroes were assigned to the third row.

Xu Guan's eyes fell on the first seat of the second row on the right. The person sitting there was no stranger to him. It was the second young master of the Ye family, Ye Fenghua.

Seemingly catching Xu Guan's gaze, Ye Fenghua raised his glass to signal from the air.

He knew that Xu Guan was in the first place.

He was also present when Ye Tianhuan gave advice to the head of the Ye family.

He was mostly curious about Xu Guan, who could make his elder brother take him so seriously.

At least in this banquet hall, Xu Guan was his equal.

Xu Guan smiled faintly and raised his glass in return.

At this time, a red figure strode closer and sat on the seat next to Xu Guan, which was the second seat in the second row, behind Xu Guan.

Xu Guan turned around and saw that there was more than one meter between the two of them.

The other party was a woman wearing light red clothes and trousers, with a long ponytail, no extra accessories on her body, and she looked simple and refreshing.

There were actually quite a few women in the entire banquet hall, but most of them were wearing dresses, with red lips and pink faces, looking elegant and dignified.

There is only one woman who looks so sassy like this.

The most important thing is that Xu Guan has met this woman.

Although it happened many years ago, and the other party's appearance has changed slightly now, he will not admit his mistake.

His eyes fell on the opponent's waist, where there was a small black jade plaque.

One side is clearly engraved with the complicated character Tang, which means Tang of the Tang family.

When Xu Guan was still in the village, the woman who followed Tang Changming was the person in front of him.

And the jade medal of identity given to him by Tang Changming still remains with him to this day.

The bone forging method he learned at the beginning was also the bone forging method inherited from Tangbao's family. For Xu Gu'an who had no skills to practice at that time, the emergence of this bone forging method was quite important.

Otherwise, if he wants to step into the bone-strengthening realm, he may have to wait for a longer period of time.

Naturally, he will not be able to enter the Donglan Martial Academy with the cultivation level of Zhuanggu Realm in the future.

Tang Huofeng's face is not very good-looking. With her strength and identity, she should be ranked first among the younger generation.

But now the Ye family ranks her in second place. Such a move is clearly demeaning in her opinion.

Not only is it belittling her, but it is also belittling the Tang Bao she represents.

He turned to look at Xu Guan, who was sitting in the front seat, and the coldness in his eyes became even more intense.

She actually let an unknown young man step on her head!

If I had known this, why would I come here again today?

For a moment, Tang Huofeng was extremely angry.

"Well" Xu Guan wanted to say hello, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to recognize him, and he could still feel the low pressure around this woman, he didn't ask for trouble.

It's normal when you think about it. The woman is older and is just a little more mature now than she was then.

And Xu Gu'an has undergone considerable changes in body shape and appearance in the past few years, so it's normal for the other party not to recognize him.

After all, it was just a one-time relationship with the other party at the beginning.

Xu Gu'an then looked at the first row of seats. The real owner, who came with the daughter of the Tang family, was the elder who truly represented the Tang family.

A middle-aged man with a serious expression and no anger.

It was not the Tang Changming he had met, but someone else.

His arrival immediately attracted the attention of most people in the hall, and compliments came one after another.

Obviously, this person has a very high status. Even if he is not the head of the Tang family, he is definitely one of the important figures in the Tang family.
