In the dining hall of the Silver Dragon Courtyard, there is more than one table for tonight's banquet, and the men and servants are very busy. He Dazhuang personally prepared the meals sent to various places in the back kitchen, faintly like the head of the dining hall.

Outside the gate of the dining hall, the master of Gong Zhanshan waited to welcome the distinguished guests of the An family and the Helian family. After a while, Gong Zhanshan saw Helian Mingyue appear from afar, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Helian Chaha, the city lord of Mandu, has a high status among the fourteen city lords of the Luofeng Domain, and this time he came to Yinlong Courtyard to mourn Pang Beihan, but in fact, it was to take a look at the real choice of the great elder Huo Qingyang. After all, the inclination of the Silver Dragon Temple is related to the vital interests of each city.

Helian Chaha came to the dining hall accompanied by his children, and saw Gong Zhanshan from a distance, Helian Mingyue said softly.

"Daddy, that person is Gong Zhanshan. ”

Helian Hao also said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the person who sold the treasure back then is now a silver dragon lady who has entered the secret realm of the silver dragon." Father, this son's resume has been personally investigated, and it is really surprising that the hermit palace family in Huafeng City has such a dazzling martial arts cultivation. ”

Helian Chaha said lightly, "What's really surprising is his master, with such a powerful master, it's normal to train any kind of disciple." However, after all, the Gong family is a small clan, and you can use your favor for my use, and you should understand what your father said. ”

Hearing her father say this, Helian Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. Tonight, she invited Gong Zhanshan to the post house for a banquet, also to leave a good impression on her father. Helian Mingyue also has her own thoughts, and like An Ruoxi, she doesn't want to control her fate in the hands of her family. But her father's words just now shattered her expectations.

Seeing the arrival of Helian and his son, Gong Zhanshan greeted him neither humbly nor arrogantly, and bowed slightly to Helian Chaha.

"The younger palace occupies the mountain, and the family teacher greets the city lord of Helian. ”

Helian Chaha looked Gong Zhanshan up and down, "I didn't expect such a handsome young man to stay in my mansion back then." It seems that the old man also didn't take good care of him, so he missed the opportunity to meet. ”

"The city lord laughed, the junior is just a reckless man, how dare he disturb the city lord. If it weren't for the protection of Gongzi and Miss Mingyue back then, I'm afraid there would be no Gong Zhanshan today. ”

Helian Hao smiled and said, "Brother Gong, you deceived us so hard back then, since you disappeared in the other courtyard, you have felt guilty for many days, and my father even almost turned his face with the trading floor because of this. If we meet again today, I can toast you a few more times. ”

Gong Zhanshan felt good about Helian Hao, and when he heard this, he said, "I said goodbye to Helian Gongzi that day, I didn't expect to meet here." Thanks to the care of the son that day, I should respect you. Lord of the city, the family teacher has been waiting inside for a long time, please come inside. ”

Gong Zhanshan personally led Helian father and son into the backyard, he saw that Guo Zizan did not follow Helian's family, and knew that this guy would accompany Ruoxi, but he did not go outside the gate to greet him. Besides, An Ruoxi's eldest brother and Gong Zhanshan are friends of the same generation, so there is no need to be so grand.

In the main hall of the backyard, Guo Zizan specially explained that he had changed a large table before leaving. Wei Anping's reinforced large chair was placed in the middle, and his huge body sat on the main seat. Seeing Helian and his son coming, Wei Anping got up slightly and said a few polite words, and as soon as they sat down, they listened to Guo Zizan's shouts outside.

"Master, the guests of Cihu City have arrived with Elder Situ. ”

Wei Anping smiled and muttered, "Come on, come on, as for screaming so loudly." ”

Helian Chaha hurriedly stood up when he heard this, he didn't expect Situ Jimin, who was in charge of Wenshu Pavilion, to also arrive. Helian Chaha was quite excited in his heart, and the two most powerful elders of the Silver Dragon Academy were invited to accompany him, and this face was very heavy. What's more, there are also people who have settled in Cihu City, which is enough for all forces to reassess the status of their Helian family.

Helian Mingyue quietly glanced at Gong Zhanshan, and it happened that Gong Zhanshan was also looking at her, Gong Zhanshan pointed out the door with a little embarrassment, and Helian Mingyue understood why he was invited here.

Situ Jimin and the others walked into the main hall and saw that Helian Chaha was also there, and Situ Jimin raised his hand to salute and said hello. Helian Chaha hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and Helian Chaha showed great respect for this strong woman of the Silver Dragon Academy.

Gong Zhanshan didn't expect Gong Ling to follow, looking at his cousin and Ruoxi holding hands, Gong Zhanshan hurriedly nodded at the two. An Ruoxi glanced back meaningfully, but greeted Helian Mingyue with a smile.

After Situ Jimin and Helian Chaha finished saluting, An Youdao stepped forward and bowed, "Junior Cihu City An Youdao, meet Elder Wei." ”

When Gong Zhanshan heard the name 'An Youdao', he couldn't help but look at An Ruoxi again. I remember the first time I met An Ruoxi in the Weilun Mountains, she said that her name was An Youdao. Originally, Gong Zhanshan thought he was making up a name, but he didn't expect that there was really someone.

After a polite greeting, everyone sat down, Wei Anping looked at everyone with a smile, he didn't care what other families would think, in Wei Anping's eyes, it was just a very ordinary dinner.

He Dazhuang ordered the food to be served, and he excitedly sat down and poured wine. Wei Anping looked at the dishes on the table with satisfaction, but An Ruoxi and Mingyue were slightly red, and they didn't even dare to move their chopsticks. There are three elders of Wei Anping on the table, and An Youdao has a special identity, so there is basically no part of Gong Zhanshan and others to speak. However, they used the method of sound transmission to communicate quietly underneath.

Two rounds later, just as Wei Anping raised his glass in return, a guard on duty at the Dining Hall hurriedly ran in.

"Elder Qiqi Wei, the domain ~ domain lord has arrived. ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a loud laugh outside, and Li Qihuang walked in, "I learned that the dining hall is so lively, Elder Wei, the juniors came to ask for a glass of water and wine uninvited, I wonder if Elder Wei can mind?"

Li Qihuang was very shrewd, and he didn't even hand over the poster before he came to a surprise attack. Li Qihuang did not come in the name of the domain master, but regarded himself as a junior. Although Li Qihuang is also in his forties, after all, Wei Anping was once a strong man who fought side by side with Li Jingzhang. Even Huo Qingyang was a friend of Elder Wei's peers, and Li Qihuang certainly didn't dare to talk to his peers.

Li Qihuang's sudden arrival suddenly shocked everyone's hearts. An Youdao and the others hurriedly stood up, and He Dazhuang was even more excited and almost knelt down to salute. Gong Ling was also a little at a loss, and she didn't know how to greet her, but Guo Zizan secretly held her little hand. Guo Zizan had a faint disdain on his face, and there was no respect for this domain lord in his eyes.

Gong Zhanshan saw Guo Zizan's small actions, and secretly praised in his heart, but he didn't expect this guy to know how to take care of Gong Ling. Gong Zhanshan glanced at it quietly, and the entire banquet together with Elder Situ stood up, except for Master Wei Anping, who was still sitting on the chair with a big grin. Gong Zhanshan could even feel that Shizun did not welcome this uninvited Li Qihuang. Not only the master Wei Anping, but even Helian Chaha and An Youdao just stood with their hands down, without any excitement.

Wei Anping leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Your Excellency is coming, this is the glory of my homecoming." Da Zhuang, tell the cook to add a few good dishes, and it is rare for the domain lord to come to our dining hall. ”

He Dazhuang hurriedly agreed and ran out in a panic. For He Dazhuang, being able to drink at the same table with the domain lord will definitely be able to boast for a lifetime.

As soon as Wei Anping spoke, Situ Jimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really a little worried that Wei Anping would not give Li Qihuang face, if she refused in person, I am afraid that all major families would receive the news overnight. Situ Jimin knew that Wei Anping was capable, let alone Li Qihuang, Wei Anping's stubborn temper came up, and I was afraid that he would not even give his father Li Jingzhang face.

As soon as Li Qihuang arrived, the atmosphere of the entire banquet suddenly changed direction. But Li Qihuang didn't care about this, he just needed to let everyone know that he deigned to drink with the two elders tonight.

In the Elders' Pavilion, a deacon quietly reported the matter to the Great Elder Huo Qingyang. After the deacon stepped down, Huo Qingyang sighed slightly and shook his head.

"Brother Jingzhang, with this scheming, I'm afraid it's not my blessing to fall into the phoenix. The old man tried his best to reconcile, but this son gave the old man a problem. ”

Great Elder Huo Qingyang stood up, his brows furrowed and took a few steps back and forth, he felt that Li Qihuang was too anxious, and such a posture was probably to force him to attack the Lin family. From another point of view, Li Qihuang, as the current domain master, surrendered his identity and took the initiative to go to the banquet, which is also implying that it is the Silver Dragon Academy that is really in charge of the major families in the Fengfeng Domain, not him, the domain master in name only. Transferring the focus of the contradiction to Yinlongyuan made it even more difficult for Huo Qingyang to make a decision on the matter of Pang Beihan.

Huo Qingyang knew what the major families wanted, and none of the families really cared about who Pang Beihan died at, what they wanted was Huo Qingyang's clear fall to the true lord of the Phoenix Domain. Only then will the major families and city lords settle down. Now that Li Qihuang has surrendered his identity and gone to the Dining and Gui Hall, he is also forcing Huo Qingyang to make a choice, either to fully support him to establish the true authority of the domain master, or simply control the Luofeng Domain in the Silver Dragon Academy. But no matter how Huo Qingyang chooses, the Lin family will become the target of suppression. Because of the existence of the Lin family, the Luofeng Domain will not be accessible by government decrees, and the forces of all parties are still scattered.

"Someone!!"

Huo Qingyang shouted in annoyance, and a deacon walked in quickly.

"Go, Lin Cheng, the second master of the Lin family, please come. ”

The deacon agreed, and just as he was about to leave, Huo Qingyang suddenly said, "Forget it, let's go there in person." Inform me that no guests from the Elders' Pavilion will be seen tonight. ”

The deacon retreated, Huo Qingyang stroked his gray beard and pondered for a while, and his figure disappeared into the room in a flash.

Overnight, Yinlong Courtyard became the focus of attention. The major families who came to mourn secretly discussed that the Silver Dragon Academy, which was originally just a holy place for cultivation, seemed to have suddenly become stronger. Many families also hope that the Silver Dragon Academy will control the overall situation, after all, Huo Qingyang is highly respected, and the Silver Dragon Academy has a deep heritage and a large number of strong people, at least it can deter the Lin family's forces from acting rashly. But in this way, the Silver Dragon Temple will also become a place where power and desire gather from a place of pure cultivation outside the world. Moreover, the old domain master Li Jingzhang had just left, which also made many people feel a little cold in the world, but they sympathized with Li Qihuang.

Two days later, the long-awaited condolence ceremony finally began. Everyone was waiting for a result, and even many elders within the Silver Dragon Academy wanted to see what the Great Elder's final choice was.

The mourning bell rang, and the Great Elder Huo Qingyang had a solemn face and walked towards the temporary memorial platform. Behind him, he was followed by the domain master Li Qihuang and several core elders.

Under the altar, the disciples of the Silver Dragon Academy knelt on the ground and wailed, except for the three people in the corner of Gong Zhanshan, who squatted down and knocked on the pine cones as if they were watching the excitement. The elder's condolences were very grand in the Silver Dragon Courtyard, and the three of Gong Zhanshan did not dare not come. But they had no sorrow in their hearts, let alone crying, and if they didn't laugh, they would give Elder Pang a lot of thin noodles.

Great Elder Huo Qingyang looked at everyone majestically, and raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. Huo Qingyang sighed sadly and was about to speak, but suddenly, Huo Qingyang raised his head in surprise. Not only him, but all the powerhouses behind him also looked up at the sky.

Domain Lord Li Qihuang's body trembled slightly, as if sensing something, and jumped into the air. Hmm~, there was a fluctuation of fighting energy in the air like a tear, and a golden light rushed towards Li Qihuang. Li Qihuang bloomed with spiritual power and reached out to catch a golden token that exuded fighting energy.

"Martial Emperor Order?"

Everyone looked at Li Qihuang in surprise, but they didn't expect that when they were condoling, he actually received the Martial Emperor Order that only the Domain Masters of the Phantom Sea could receive.
