Chapter 341: Arresting the Traitor (Part 2)
Soon after everyone sat down, the two old men helped each other to the inner courtyard, and behind them, followed by Xu Jingyi, the head of the Xu family, and other direct descendants of the Xu family.
Seeing the two old men, Xie Xuan and Shen Wanlei, who were originally sitting on the chairs, both changed their faces.
Not only them, but the others also looked at the two old men walking in front of them with shocked expressions.
One of them had white hair, walked tremblingly, and looked unusually old, while the other was much younger, looking only sixty years old.
Everyone knows the white-haired old man, he is Xu Gongqian, the father of Xu Jingyi, the current head of the Xu family, and he is also the protagonist of this birthday banquet, which is exactly 80 years old this year.
What everyone didn't expect was the old man in black next to Xu Gongda, he was Xu Gongqian's eldest brother Xu Gongda!
At the same time, he is also the previous head of the Xu family!
"Am I right?" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"He's not ...... by the poison of the real person," he said, and he didn't dare to continue.
More than 20 years ago, Xu Gongda was also regarded as a man of the year in Jiangdong, and the Xu family with him even had a tendency to become the number one force in Jiangdong, but unfortunately, he didn't know how to offend the real person of the poison poison, and in the transmission, Xu Gongda had been poisoned by the real person.
But everyone never expected that Xu Gongda was still alive and appeared at this birthday banquet.
Xie Xuan's face was extremely solemn, when Xu Gongda was in charge of the Xu family, he didn't give them the slightest chance to Hujimen, and it was precisely because of Xu Gongda's death that the Xu family's vitality was greatly injured that it developed to today's scale.
Hujimen is already weaker than the Xu family in Lingbei, but now Xu Gongda, who has been dead for twenty years, is standing here again, his appearance means that the strength of the Xu family in Shenbei will far surpass that of Hujimen, in this case, will the Xu family still let Hujimen stay in Lingbei?
Thinking of this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but think of the previous rumors about this birthday banquet, did the Xu family really plan to take advantage of this birthday banquet to dominate Jiangdong in one fell swoop?
Xu Gongqian and Xu Gongda ignored everyone's shocked gazes, and slowly walked towards the main hall in front of the house.
Behind Xu Jingyi, the current head of the Xu family, is a girl with a good face but a proud look.
Zhou Ran frowned, he originally thought that Xu Siyao would appear at the birthday banquet, but found that she was not in the crowd.
"My sister is fine. Seeing this, Xu Silei hurriedly said with a light smile.
She went to see her sister, and Xu Siyao did not ask her to do anything other than being restricted to a certain range of activities.
Zhou Ran looked at the innocent Xu Silei and shook his head speechlessly.
With Xu Siyao's character, how could she tell Xu Silei the truth about this stupid sister.
Although Zhou Ran intended to explore Xu Siyao's location, the Xu family's compound was well prepared, and Xu Jingyi was a congenital powerhouse, so Zhou Ran's rash use of spiritual sense to probe would definitely be discovered by Xu Jingyi.
At this moment, even he couldn't guess why the Xu family put Xu Siyao under house arrest, but he could be sure that at least at this moment, Xu Siyao was not in any danger.
At this time, the short-haired girl who followed Xu Jingyi noticed Xu Silei beside Zhou Ran and looked contemptuous.
And Xu Silei clenched her fists angrily, it was obvious that she had a holiday with the other party.
The short-haired girl retracted her gaze contemptuously and continued to follow behind Xu Jingyi.
"A slut who steals other people's achievements!" Xu Silei scolded dissatisfiedly.
After Xu Gongqian and Xu Gongda entered the main hall, Xu Gongqian sat in the center of the hall, and Xu Gongda and Xu Jingyi sat on the left and right sides respectively.
By the time everyone in the Xu family was seated, almost all the guests who should have arrived in the entire inner courtyard had arrived, after all, few people dared to be late for the birthday banquet of the old man of the Xu family.
However, there are exceptions, where the front row of chairs in the inner courtyard is empty.
The eyes of everyone in the inner courtyard couldn't help but fall on the chairs.
Obviously, only Danxin Palace and his party were left who didn't come.
Xu Jingyi and the others above saw the empty seats in the front row, and their faces were a little ugly.
At this moment, Yu Wenlin and Jing Xuelan walked into the inner courtyard.
Seeing the two of them, the faces of many cultivators were full of doubt.
"Why are there only two juniors?"
"Yes, it's okay if you don't come, since you send someone here, it's a bit rude to just two juniors. ”
"I always felt like something was going to happen at tonight's birthday party. ”
Everyone was talking in a low voice, and Xu Jingyi and the others, who were sitting in the center of the main hall, had more and more ugly faces.
"Yan Ping came to congratulate Brother Xu on his birthday!" At this time, a deep voice came, and people arrived before they arrived!
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, but saw an old man in a white-gray robe coming from the sky, and the robe was full of patterns related to alchemy.
"It turned out to be Yan Ping, the second elder of Danxin Palace!"
"It is said that his strength is stronger than that of the Great Elder of Danxin Palace, and he only became the Second Elder by losing a score in alchemy!"
"This is an innate powerhouse who has been famous for more than 20 years!"
Everyone looked at the figure with a look of horror.
It was just a birthday banquet, and even the second elder of Danxin Palace came.
After he flew over the house, he did not fall, but stood quietly above the crowd.
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces changed.
The innate monks present, in addition to Xu Gongda and Xu Jingyi of the Xu family, as well as Xie Xuan and Shen Wanlei, both congenital monks, Xie Xuan and Shen Wanlei still walked over, but Yan Ping was above everyone, this was almost a provocation!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xu family in the main hall was angry.
Danxin Palace's status in the Jiangdong region is indeed transcendent, but today is the birthday banquet of Old Man Xu, and Yan Ping's attitude is too unkind to the Xu family.
"Elder Yan, what do you mean by that?" Xu Jingyi got up and asked angrily staring at Yan Ping.
"The master of the Xu family doesn't need to be angry, I am only going to do two things, first, the palace master sent me to celebrate Brother Xu's birthday, and second, to arrest the traitor who stole the secret Danfang of my Danxin Palace!" Yan Ping said while standing in the air and looking down at the people below.
"Here are all the distinguished guests of my Xu family, where are the traitors?" Xu Jingyi said in a deep voice.
Everyone also looked at Yan Ping suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.
Yan Ping looked at Zhou Ran in the seat and said coldly: "He was originally my senior brother's closed disciple, but just because my senior brother was usually a little stricter, he took advantage of my senior brother's unpreparedness to steal my senior brother's latest research on the Rejuvenation Pill and the Quenching Pill Pill and escaped from the Danxin Palace!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Ran in shock.
He turned out to be a closed disciple of the Great Elder of Danxin Palace?
No wonder he had so many top-grade Rejuvenation Pills and Quenching Pills, so it made sense that Elder Danxin Gongyan was so angry.
There are also some people whose expressions flickered and found loopholes in their words.
Zhou Ran's expression was calm, how could he not know that he was a closed disciple of the Great Elder of Danxin Palace?
"As an elder of Danxin Palace, it is my duty to arrest traitors, and I ask the head of the Xu family not to be embarrassed!" At this time, Yan Ping looked at Xu Jingyi and threatened coldly.
