Candlelight lit up the entire banquet hall, and the smell of spices mixed with the aroma of food and the mellow aroma of wine filled the entire banquet hall. The huge long table was filled with food, and the maid of the castle guard brought food and wine from time to time, and moved delicately through the crowd.

The entire banquet hall was filled with a warm atmosphere.

This is indeed a feast, upholding the customs of the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas, and it is a dragon feast of the highest standard. The main dishes of this banquet are all taken from a dragon. This sea Jiao was killed before the banquet began, and the meat was very delicious.

Dressed in gorgeous costumes, handsome, celebrities, and strong people from all walks of life are talking in groups while taking food, giving people a sense of joy, but in fact, there are eight and nine rank beast masters in this group of people, and all of them are terrifying existences.

It was in such a warm atmosphere that Qin Ping and his entourage came to the banquet hall.

Just as Aunt Mei predicted, the three of them became the focus of the banquet crowd at the first time.

As the head of the Red Xuancheng Branch of the Sea Dragon Society, Lei Qingfeng's position in this banquet is needless to say, and he is one of the most important figures. His appearance is understandable to attract attention. Moreover, he was originally a "familiar face" in the upper circle of Chixuan City.

However, Qin Ping and Chen Ting are completely unfamiliar faces. They are notable for their stunning appearance.

With the appearance of the two of them, they instantly overshadowed those gorgeously dressed and boasted of being noble and gorgeous.

The dwarf impact was so palpable that the ballroom fell silent suddenly, except for the eyes that grew hotter.

Qin Ping and Chen Ting glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile slightly. Qin Ping had a lot of emotion in his heart. Although this world has deduced a unique beast master civilization, the tone of its civilization is full of wildness and rugged temperament after all. In terms of enjoyment of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, compared with the people of the earth, it is really too far behind. He and Nicholas Chen's clothing style is just a fusion of the concept of simple and slim design, and the taste is a few levels higher than these guys who desperately pursue gorgeousness.

In contrast, the "nouveau riche" temperament of these people was immediately highlighted vividly. It's no wonder that these people are not very eye-opening and deeply shocked.

For Qin Ping, this feeling is good and exciting. He knows deep down that this is called "superiority". There is a great sense of superiority between the beast master and ordinary people. And at this moment, he and Ting Chen are among this group of beast masters, showing their superiority.

However, this "exciting" moment did not last long.

After a few moments, everyone in the banquet hall came to their senses. Qin Ping's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately met Ye Jiantian's eyes. Across most of the banquet hall, their eyes met in the void, silently, but there was an indescribable fierceness.

The corners of Ye Jiantian's mouth curled up slightly, changing the domineering appearance of the past, but a gloomy look that seemed to be smiling instead of smiling.

This demeanor made Qin Ping feel a little uneasy. He knew that today's banquet was only afraid of hidden mysteries.

"Hmph, let's see what tricks you can play!"

Qin Ping snorted coldly in his heart, looked away without moving, and turned a little, he saw Luo Tianchen next to him with an expressionless face.

At this moment, Luo Tianchen's gaze was so calm, like a deep fountain, without the slightest fluctuation, or even emotion.

During this time, all the news about Qin Ping, including those unconfirmed rumors, was presented to Luo Tianchen one by one. Originally, he didn't take the so-called ten-year covenant to heart, because he had absolute confidence, whether it was now or ten years later, he could easily kill Qin Ping and exterminate the demons in his heart. However, as the news he received increased day by day, his heartstrings began to tighten again and again. That young man's strength can be described as changing with each passing day and increasing rapidly. It was a lot of pressure on him. At this rate, ten years later, even after a few years, will he still have the certainty of defeating Qin Fan?

He wasn't sure.

Luo Tianchen's heart was very solemn, and he finally clearly realized that he had met a truly terrifying opponent. The potential of this opponent often suffocates him.

He really wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Qin Fan, and he didn't want to give the other party any more time to grow.

It's a pity that there is an important piece of news that he never knows. If he knew that Ye Jiantian had already encountered Qin Ping head-on and ended up in a miserable end, I am afraid that he would not be as peaceful as he is now.

Ye Jiantian's strength is not weaker than him at all!

Whether it is Ye Jiantian or Luo Tianchen, in Qin Ping's opinion, they are just passing by. As soon as his gaze swept over, he saw a middle-aged man with a lofty figure and a lofty spirit.

There is a kind of majesty in this man, not the power of the wild, but the power of a superior person.

This man is the number one person in the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas guarding Chixuan City-the city keeper Ao Haisheng,

When Qin Ping's gaze touched Ao Haisheng, the eyes of the two met unexpectedly. At that moment, Qin Ping felt a kind of terrifying forest. The man was scrutinizing him unscrupulously, and he seemed to want to see through him.

Qin Ping knew why.

The previous serial assassination case caused a very big wave in the upper circles of Chixuan City, and it had already annoyed the City Guard Mansion and Jing Wei Division. Who is the murderer? All the people who know a little bit about the inside story almost unanimously lock on the object of suspicion on Qin Ping. It's a pity that no one has been able to come up with even the slightest bit of evidence.

As the lord of the castle and the real power person who controls the second heart of the kingdom with one hand, there is no doubt that such an evil thing happened under his nose, which is undoubtedly his dereliction of duty. The pressure he was under aside, the challenge to his own dignity alone was enough for him to kill the murderer at all costs.

It's a pity that Qin Ping, the number one suspect, is standing in front of him blatantly, but he has no way at all, he wants to ask if he is angry, but he is afraid that the city guard has already hemorrhed.

Qin Ping felt the other party's disrespect, and instead of being angry, he grinned, and then continued to sweep his gaze to those kingdom bureaucrats near the city guard.

It is this group of people who constitute the power structure at the top of Chixuan City today.

Among these people, Qin Ping saw Lord Du Kangdu. Standing in the crowd, he is really not a big man among these bureaucrats, but he is definitely not a small role.

However, Du Kang had avoided Qin Ping's gaze from the beginning. He looked like he didn't see it. Qin Ping sneered in his heart and deliberately winked at him. It's a pity that he looked and looked, but he didn't see the figure of Mr. Pei.

"That person didn't show up?"

Qin Ping secretly sensed carefully, and failed to perceive Mr. Pei's wild aura, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. However, the other party hid deeply, which was also within his expectations.

Passing past these bureaucrats, the rest are the protagonists of today's banquet. They are representatives of merchants from the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas, from major trading houses, and are interested in the beast and material business of the Red Ghost Realm. It is precisely because of business that their hearts are gathered here today.

In addition, the rest are young people, children of nobles, young talents, and daughters of celebrities, each of whom has a background that cannot be underestimated.

"None of the people who can appear at today's banquet are ordinary people!"

His gaze quickly swept around, and Qin Ping felt a sigh of emotion in his heart. The family background cannot be seen at a glance, but in terms of strength alone, none of these invited people are not beast masters, and none of them are below the seventh grade.

"How does it feel?"

Lei Qingfeng suddenly turned his head sideways and asked in a low voice.

"The mountain rain is coming. ”

Qin Ping said in a deep voice.

"yes, the best is yet to come!"

Lei Qingfeng nodded, and his small eyes swept over the banquet hall: "It's the first time I've participated in the Jiaolong Banquet, come on, let's try the craftsmanship of the City Guard." While eating, I will take two people who are familiar with these characters with heads and faces in Chixuan City!"

"Do you have friends?"

Qin Ping asked with interest.

When Lei Qingfeng heard this, he just laughed and said nothing.

In terms of food alone, the level of the castle guard is pretty good. Hanhai's Jiaolong is brought to the table, which is a large-scale, high-standard, using the traditional techniques of the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas to cook a variety of dishes, the taste is unusual.

Tasting the food and wine, time passed little by little, and in front of him were people coming and going, and people from all walks of life also knew each other.

However, Qin Ping always felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

"Brother Lei, with all due respect, it seems that here, you don't treat you very well!"

Qin Ping looked at Lei Qingfeng, who was smiling and smiling, but actually didn't smile, and couldn't help but joke in a low voice.

Lei Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Little brother, are you very popular here?"

When Qin Ping heard this, he looked stunned. To be honest, he seems to be very unpopular here. At least the bureaucrats and the figures from the legion have always been in a state of eyeing each other, and they have never given any good faces.

Seeing that Qin Ping was deflated, Lei Qingfeng finally smiled happily, and then said in a low voice: "I recently heard that they are going to set up a joint business group to jointly develop the Otherworld. The Hanhai Society and the Shanhai Society, which are the top chambers of commerce at the same level as our Sea Dragon Society, have no objections. What do you think other chambers of commerce should do? What should I do?"

"Who has that ability?"

Qin Ping's heart shook slightly, and he couldn't help but ask. He knew very well what a terrifying force these chambers of commerce would be once they united.

"The city guard mansion and the Jingwei Division set up the stage, Ye Jiantian and Luo Tianchen launched it with the strength of the legion, and the military, politics, and business circles were a trinity. Once this kind of thing has a prototype, it is simply unstoppable, and the benefits in it are even more immeasurable. Who can resist you saying such a good thing?"

Lei Qingfeng's eyes were very solemn, and he said in a rather uneasy tone.

Obviously, he didn't want to join the group because he had cards in his hand that no one else could have imagined. Because he has Qin Fan, Qin Fan, who has mastered the incredible magic of transforming into a beast. In the large-scale beast business, his advantage is unshakable. With such a hole card in his hand, why should he be in cahoots with those people.

However, when Qin Ping heard this, he couldn't help but have a word in his mind - monopoly. Almost instantly, he understood the intention of the group that Lei Qingfeng was talking about. Huddles are just the beginning, and monopoly is the real goal.

The benefits of developing the Otherworld are huge enough to make the entire kingdom soar and embark on the road to empire. If the monopoly can be completed from the early stage, and the participation of latecomers can be restricted through various means, then wealth and resources will inevitably roll in, beyond imagination.

It's hard to do something like this in the young Roaring Kingdom, but in the inheritance of the ancient Mountain and Sea Kingdom, it's just natural.

It is impossible for the military, bureaucrats, or businessmen to ignore such a great opportunity, and it is impossible not to be tempted to go crazy by the huge profits.

"You've decided to go your own way?"

Qin Ping asked in a deep voice.

"I choose to believe you!"

Lei Qingfeng stopped smiling, looked at Qin Ping calmly and said, "The will of the association is to join, but this time, I still won't compromise." Brother, we are in danger. And just tonight, I have to take a stand! My position is about my fate. And my fate depends on your talents, brother!"

At this moment, Qin Ping felt true trust. In the depths of his heart, he finally recognized and truly accepted Lei Qingfeng's brother.

Qin Ping took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I can't promise you a bright future, but I will do my best and promise not to betray first." ”

"Good!"

Lei Qingfeng nodded, and smiled again: "Then, they are them, we are us! We will compete with a behemoth, which is very exciting! We are alone and in a bad situation, and they have military support, official protection, and there are many people." I think...... them all - all!"

This is worthy of an upper-class gathering, during the whole process, Qin Ping and Chen Ting were not harassed or provoked in any way, at least on the surface, everyone seemed very decent and maintained the most basic restraint.

Young talents always want to find opportunities to get close to Nicholas Chen, but unfortunately they can't get past Qin Ping's hurdle, and Nicholas Chen is unmoved, so even if they are first-class talents, they all return in defeat.

The daughters and celebrities are relatively restrained, but there are not a few people who secretly send autumn waves to Qin Ping. However, the tenderness between Qin Ping's smile made these girls feel the coldness of the teenager. Because Qin Ping had never looked at them squarely from beginning to end. His gentleness is only for Chen Ting.

Before you know it, the night is late, and the banquet has turned to the main topic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this banquet!"

Ao Haisheng's voice sounded, although the voice was not loud, but it was full of energy. The entire ballroom then fell silent. The servants quickly retreated, and everyone's eyes turned to the supreme power in Chixuan City.

Ao Haisheng's gaze slowly swept over everyone, not angry but arrogant: "Today's banquet is a grand gathering for you businessmen, and we should avoid it." However, as one of the first merchants to be allowed to enter the Atlas, it is necessary for the rank to set an example and set the necessary rules. For this reason, the Chixuan City Guards are duty-bound, and the City Guards Mansion and Jingwei Division are even more duty-bound. Only when we work together can we truly achieve our goals and deliver resources for the development of the kingdom faster and better. For this reason, the City Guard Mansion and the Jingwei Division deliberately united with the military to form a joint organization specifically for the development of other worlds. The group is based on the Chamber of Commerce, and in addition to following the basic rules, it will enjoy a variety of benefits and conveniences to the greatest extent. The specific regulations will be explained to you by General Luo Tianchen, the representative of the military!"

As Aohai's words fell, there couldn't help but talk in the banquet hall. Obviously, not everyone is as well-informed as Lei Qingfeng. Not every chamber of commerce is qualified to participate in the planning of this matter.

"Ahem, please be quiet!"

After everyone was talking about each other for a while, Luo Tianchen finally spoke up, turned his hand and took out a beautiful animal skin scroll and said: "The development of the other world is related to the prosperity of the kingdom, and we must not be hasty." There is only one Otherworld, with limited resources, and we are competing with the Roaring Kingdom across the mountain. This time, we plan to set up a Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce to deal with the development of the other world. Of course, we do not force it, and adopt the principle of voluntary participation! Whether you want to join the joint chamber of commerce or not, you can consider it according to the actual situation. Next, I would like to focus on the preferential policies that the United Chamber of Commerce can enjoy......"

With Luo Tianchen's introduction one by one, everyone began to figure out the situation.

"What? The Kingdom only levies 10% of the total value of the income of the members of the United Chamber of Commerce as a commercial tax, and other organizations or individuals take 30%?"

"Members of the United Chamber of Commerce will be eligible to hire mercenaries and even legionnaires to enter the Red Xuan Ghost Realm together?"

"Members of the United Chamber of Commerce will have no less than ten additional teleportation array uses per month?"

......

Lei Qingfeng and Qin Ping's faces changed again and again, because these preferential policies were too tempting. To a large extent, these preferential policies have seriously weakened Lei Qingfeng's competitive advantage.

"Who the hell could have such a big deal to do such an amazing thing?"

Chen Ting couldn't help but ask, feeling very incredible. Because the consequences of these preferential policies are too staggering. In the future, anyone who wants to get involved in the various businesses of the Chixuan Ghost Realm will inevitably join the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce. If this development continues, how terrifying will the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce eventually grow? This is simply to take the opportunity to dominate the business world of the Shanhai Kingdom.

You must know that Chixuan City will definitely be fully opened in the future, and when the time comes, merchants from all walks of life in the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas can come here and go to the other world to win opportunities.

The people who can prescribe such conditions and promote this kind of thing are not good for the City Guard Mansion and the Jingwei Division, nor can they add a few legions, because this matter is enough to shake the country's foundation, and there must be more terrifying existence behind it. That terrifying existence, Shiyou is a royal relative with an incomparably respected status, and his power must be extremely amazing.

"It is the absolute big man of the entire Mountain and Sea Kingdom, the first big man second to none!"

Lei Qingfeng smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and then entered a state of silence, watching the representatives of the Hanhai Society sign the contract and choose to join the Chamber of Commerce, and then see the representatives of the Shanhai Society choosing to join......

"Sea Dragon Society, Lei Qingfeng, what do you think?"

Luo Tianchen held the contract of the United Chamber of Commerce in his hand, looked at Lei Qingfeng, and asked with interest.

As the only representative of the Chamber of Commerce who has never expressed his position, Lei Qingfeng has become an outlier. Everyone else turned their eyes to him.

"I'll think about it again!"

Lei Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile on his face.

"Are you trying to go against the tide?"

Luo Tianchen's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice without questioning: "What the Sea Dragon Society General Assembly means, have you ever taken it to heart?"

"I repeat!"

Feeling the faint threat in Luo Tianchen's words, Lei Qingfeng's face froze, and he announced in a deep voice: "I, Lei Qingfeng, am the person in charge of all the business of the Red Xuancheng Branch of the Sea Dragon Society!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent and silent.

Everyone knows that Lei Qingfeng really wants to go against the tide.

The crowd was amazed at the young man's courage, but at the same time, they laughed at his stupidity. A qualified businessman would never be so reckless and ignore such huge interests. At the same time, everyone knows better what will happen to a branch leader who openly defies the will of the general association.

"Humph!"

A cold snort tore apart the silence, Ye Jiantian looked at Lei Qingfeng with cold eyes, and reprimanded sharply: "I don't know how to lift!"

Lei Qingfeng shook his head, looked at Ye Jiantian, and said with a slight smile: "Lifting? My Lei Qingfeng's size, how can you lift it?" I'm sorry, I said earlier that I would consider it, and I want to take it back. Now, I tell you clearly, the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce, I, Lei Qingfeng, will never participate!"

How about the King of Ancient Demon Beasts?
