Chapter 9: Past Lives
"The Treasure Pavilion is old!"
The subordinate standing at the door was flushed with excitement, and shouted loudly by pulling his neck.
The sound drowned out everything in the hall.
Whew!
The guests stood up almost at the same time, each with a look of shock on their faces, looking in the direction of the gate.
Fang Tianhao's body trembled with excitement, and his face was full of red.
The eyes of the three heads of the Zhang, Zhao, and Chen families looking at Fang Tianhao were full of envy and jealousy.
Chen Yong smiled bitterly: "Since Elder Yan came to our Southern Wilderness City, I have invited him no less than ten times a year, but his old man has not accepted the invitation once!" β
Zhang Yong sighed and said sourly: "It's still the old master of Fang's face that is big enough, even Old Yan personally came to congratulate you on your birthday!" β
In the middle of the Southern Wilderness City.
In addition to the City Lord's Mansion, it is headed by the four major families.
The four of them can be said to be standing at the peak of the pyramid of power in Southern Wilderness City, even if the City Lord's Mansion has to give them a little thin face, but only Elder Yan of the Treasure Pavilion never takes them seriously.
Of course.
The Treasure Pavilion spread throughout the entire Tian Yuan Realm did have such strength and qualifications.
That's why......
Every family is proud to be able to invite Yan Lao to the banquet.
It's just that Yan Lao has never participated in these banquets, even if it is the City Lord's Mansion, he can't be moved!
Today, Yan Lao actually came to the Fang family, which naturally made everyone envious.
Fang Tianhao's face was full of red light, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and a pair of eyebrows gently picked up, and his pride was self-evident. pretended to be helpless: "Oh, I have been friends with Yan Lao for many years, but I am relatively low-key and don't want to expose our friendship." I'm 80 years old this year, and he has to come to congratulate me......"
When the surrounding guests heard this, the envy in their eyes became even stronger.
As long as any family has a relationship with the Treasure Pavilion, it is a hen that lays golden eggs, not to mention soaring, at least the strength of the family can be increased several times in a short period of time.
Zhao Yu, the head of the Zhao family, said in a deep voice: "Old family master Fang, you have to carry us more in the future!" β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
Feeling the envious gazes of everyone around him, the smile on Fang Tianhao's face became brighter and brighter.
Today is destined to be the most glorious moment of his life!
The high-ranking Yan Lao actually came to congratulate him on his birthday, which was something he never dreamed of. Over the years, the Fang family has given a lot of invitations to Yan Lao every year, but Yan Lao has never made an appointment.
Fang Tianhao thought in his heart: "He must have received the news that Fang Jin was about to enter the Wangdu Martial Arts Academy and become a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, so he specially came to curry favor with our family!" β
Think of it.
Fang Tianhao got up and straightened the clothes on his body, and walked towards the door with brisk steps.
There was still a distance of five or six meters away from Yan Lao, Fang Tianhao had already stretched out his right hand, and said excitedly: "Hahaha, Boss Yan's arrival really made my Fang family shine!" β
All the guests around were full of envy: "When will we be able to deal with a character like Old Yan like the old man Fang?" β
However......
Under the gaze of everyone, the imaginary scene of the two giants talking happily did not appear.
Yan Lao actually directly crossed Fang Tianhao and walked behind him.
Fang Tianhao, who was alone with his hands stretched out and a bright smile on his face, was messy in the wind.
Seeing Yan Lao walking in her direction, Fang Qingzhu's heart tightened, she knew very well how terrifying Yan Lao had in Southern Wilderness City.
If you offend the existence in front of you, it will definitely be a dead end!
Fang Qingzhu hurriedly pulled Xiao Yi and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and get out of the way, this is Yan Lao of the Treasure Pavilion, don't get in his way!" β
Xiao Yi didn't move at all, and looked at Yan Lao who came over with a strange expression.
"What the hell are you going to do? This is Yan Lao, we can't afford to provoke ......" Fang Qingzhu's face was full of anxiety, and he was thinking about how to ask for the other party's understanding when Xiao Yi collided with Yan Lao in a while.
The old man Yan who was like an uncrowned king in the Southern Wilderness City stepped forward quickly, stopped one meter in front of Xiao Yi, clasped his hands together, and respectfully: "Yan Mingli greets Xiao Shao!" β
Karma?
All petrified at the same time.
looked at Xiao Yi and Yan Lao without blinking, everyone's face was covered with the word "confused" in capital letters, and the heads of the three major families looked at each other, what is the situation?
Doesn't it mean that Yan Lao and Fang Tianhao have been friends for many years?
He didn't pay attention to Fang Tianhao, but ran to the side of the waste son-in-law of the Fang family so enthusiastically?
The three of them stared at Fang Tianhao together.
Fang Tianhao's face froze, he only felt a hot pain on his face, as if he had been slapped dozens of times, remembering what he said earlier, he wanted to dig a pit and bury himself.
Yan Lao squeezed his eyes at him, as if to say: Teacher, I am enough to give you a long face, right?
Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, and looked at the stunned Fang Qingzhu beside him: "Qingzhu, this is Yan Mingli Yan Lao, you can call him Yan Lao like me!" β
"Yan, Yan Lao?!" Fang Qingzhu said subconsciously.
"Hahaha, I have long heard that Mrs. Xiao is the lady of the sky, and today I saw it as expected! This bottle of 'Pregnancy Pill' is a welcome gift specially prepared for you, Mrs. Xiao should not be disgusted! Yan Lao took out a bottle of elixir and stuffed it into Fang Qingzhu's hand without saying anything.
Hiss!
An exclamation suddenly sounded around him: "Pregnancy Qi Pill? This is a three-grade pill, one is worth five thousand taels of silver, and this bottle is at least ten, that is fifty thousand taels? β
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that Yan Lao was celebrating the birthday of the old family master Fang? Why don't you ignore him, but it seems that he is running for Xiao Yi? β
Fang Qingzhu looked panicked and looked at Xiao Yi at a loss.
Xiao Yi patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since it was given by Yan Lao, you can accept it with peace of mind!" β
Only then did Fang Qingzhu accept the elixir.
Yan Lao also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yan Lao did this just to curry favor with Xiao Yi?" Fang Qingzhu found that Yan Lao had always maintained a very low posture in front of Xiao Yi, and he was also taken aback by the thoughts in his mind.
This is the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, and his status is extremely lofty.
Even if the four major families sent him invitations several times, Yan Lao was disdainful, and now, in order to please Xiao Yi, he actually gave himself such a precious pregnancy pill as a meeting gift?
Is this really the spurned crap that everyone spurns?
Fang Qingzhu looked at Xiao Yi again, only to feel that his body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, which was impenetrable, and the more he explored, the deeper he fell into it as if he was in a quagmire.
"Excuse me......"
Fang Tianhao leaned over hard, he was now like a man, he had just blown the cow out, if he couldn't come back, he would be embarrassed.
With the last glimmer of hope in his eyes, he asked tentatively, "Old Yan, aren't you here to congratulate me on my birthday?" How do you talk to this shit? β
"Waste?"
Yan Lao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that the waste in Fang Tianhao's mouth was referring to Xiao Yi, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he asked with disdain: "How old are you?" Do you deserve me to congratulate you on your birthday? β
