Chapter 508: The Birthday of the Old Man of the Zhao Family
Just after Zhao's incident, the Zhao family immediately got the news that two juniors in the family died tragically, and the most potential person was abolished, which was undoubtedly a major blow to the Zhao family.
As a result, the Zhao family issued a city-wide notice, ordering Long Ye to be arrested and executed.
However, a few days later, the search team did not find any trace of Long Ye, and Zhao Ruoxue did not dare to tell his family that Long Ye had abolished Zhao Jie because he was worried about implicating his own side.
As for those who had seen Long Ye's true face and knew his true identity, they were all taught a lesson by Long Ye afterwards, and made them "forget" their faces, so as not to implicate Zhao Ruoxue.
Three days later, the old man's birthday arrived.
The Zhao Mansion of Nuoda suddenly became lively, and the lights were everywhere, and the word Shou was pasted all over the place.
The big businessmen and nobles in Luofeng City, as well as the elders and sect masters of the surrounding major forces, also came to congratulate with gifts, and for a while, the Zhao Mansion became lively.
In this lively atmosphere, Zhao Ruoxue looked a little out of place, she looked at the guests around her with a sad face, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
After Long Ye did that, he didn't contact her, it seems that most of them didn't dare to come, after all, the old man and the sect master of the Heaven Swallowing Sect are on an equal footing, and there is even a primordial old monster from the Xuantie Sect behind him.
For his own safety, he probably won't come.
It's just a pity that she has no one to support the scene, and I don't know what it will be like to be ridiculed by other clans.
While I was thinking about this, the birthday began.
In the hall, a master of ceremonies said loudly: "Welcome to our birthday star, Mr. Zhao Gou!"
As he spoke, there was a burst of applause below, and when the applause rang out, an old man with a tall figure and a tiger-like walk walked out of the rear, and the people around him respectfully got out of the way, and at the same time whispered congratulations to him on his happy birthday.
Zhao Gou sat on the main seat, condescendingly looked at the group of people below who wished him a birthday, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone sit." ”
Seeing that all the guests sat down, the hall became silent, and Zhao Gou continued: "Today is my birthday Zhao, thank you for taking the time to come, alas, I am seventy years old unconsciously, I am old, not as young as you, youthful and energetic, so you are suffocated, how to play." ”
As Zhao Gou spoke, the people below immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk to others, and the entire hall suddenly became hot.
"Yo, isn't this the leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance, you're here today?"
"It turned out to be Brother Zhao Hu, how are you doing lately?" The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance, who was stopped, turned to look at Zhao Hu and smiled.
Zhao Hu is the eldest of the second generation of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Zhenlin's eldest brother, as the most powerful clan in the family, he has a lot of resources, the most profitable of which is the auction and gladiatorial arena.
"Business has been good recently, and the income is not small, brother, you are not bad, a few days ago I grabbed a spiritual mine from Quanshan Temple, and I am afraid that I have been making crazy money recently." Zhao Hu smiled and asked in turn.
"Well, in general, there is no place to compare with you, but I recently dug up a good piece of ore, I wonder if you are interested, man. The leader of the Blood Shadow Alliance glanced left and right, and then said in a low voice.
"Oh!"
A gleam flashed in Zhao Hu's eyes, and then he dragged him to the corner and discussed it carefully.
In addition to them, the other clans of the Zhao family also talked eagerly with the guests, doing business, making friends, in short, they were happy.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhenlin's lineage, except for dozens of people from their clan sitting together, there were basically no people around, and no one even wanted to talk.
Zhao Ruoxue was full of sorrow, and sighed lightly, she has no power or power, and even people who are not as good as the Zhao family don't want to deal with it, this is the cruel reality!
"Yo, third child, why is there no one to care about your vein?"
At this moment, a hoarse voice came, Zhao Ruoxue frowned, looked up, and saw his second uncle Zhao Bao walking slowly.
In the Zhao family, the old man has a total of three sons, Zhao Ruoxue's father ranks third and has the lowest status, and his second uncle listens to him because he has been an uncle's follower since he was a child, so his clan is not weak in the Zhao family.
At this moment, he turned down a good business and came to Zhao Zhenlin to show off his might.
"The third one, the third one, I told you many years ago that this old man's banquet is not something that people like you can attend, but you don't listen to me, you see that everyone is talking to me and my eldest brother now, what about you? ”
Shaking his head, Zhao Bao glanced contemptuously at everyone present, and sneered: "Look at you, you are so lonely that you can't even afford to buy gorgeous clothes, and you still wear the clothes of previous years to shine, if you can, I really hope that you are not from my Zhao family, it's too embarrassing." ”
"You ......"
Zhao Ruoxue was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Zhao Zhenlin.
"Ah, sorry, I'm late. ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, attracting Zhao Zhenlin and Zhao Bao, who were close to each other, to turn their heads at the same time.
When they saw the visitor, their faces were happy.
It turned out that Xuan Yi came.
Wiping the beads of sweat on his head, Xuan Yi's face was a little red, today he originally wanted to come early to congratulate the old man on his birthday, but who would have thought that something happened on the way, so it was delayed for some time.
Seeing that his birthday was about to begin, there was no way but to hurry up after he had finished his work, so he was now sweating profusely and his breath was not very stable.
As soon as he entered, he took a cup of tea from the waiter next to him and poured it down vigorously, moistening his parched throat.
"Elder Xuanyi, you're finally here. ”
Zhao Bao glanced at Zhao Zhenlin proudly, and then walked towards Xuan Yi with a smile on his face, a few days ago he privately asked Xuan Yi to come to his own line to sit in the town, support a scene, and promised to send various things at that time, but Xuan Yi did not agree or deny it.
Today he suddenly came to Zhao's house, and it seems that he agreed to his request and came to support his own pulse.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bao's face was even more happy, and he hurriedly instructed the waiter on the side to prepare water and towels for Xuan Yi, so that he could wash his face and retreat from the dust of the road.
At the same time, he respectfully handed him a cup of tea and started talking.
Looking at Zhao Bao, who was talking to Elder Xuanyi, Zhao Zhenlin's face was a little ugly, and then he looked at Zhao Ruoxue, hoping that she could do something.
When Zhao Ruoxue saw Xuan Yi, she hurriedly stood up, ready to pull him to her side, but she was a little hesitant just now, after all, there was something wrong with Long Ye, and it is estimated that this elder would not dare to have anything to do with them easily.
Xuan Yi is just a little elder, how could he take the risk of being condemned by the Zhao family for the sake of Zhao Zhenlin, this is too cost-effective.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ruoxue sighed helplessly and prepared to sit back in her place.
"You let Jean. ”
At this moment, Xuan Yi suddenly pushed away Zhao Bao on the side and walked to this side.
"What's the situation? Why did Elder Xuanyi push Zhao Bao away, could it be that he did something wrong and annoyed him?"
"Look, Elder Xuanyi, he's going over there. Someone was surprised.
"Isn't that the most wasted vein of the Zhao family, where are you going, what are you doing?"
Everyone looked at that side suspiciously, not knowing what was happening, but it didn't seem to be a major contradiction, and people could only wait and see.
Walking to Zhao Zhenlin's table, Xuan Yi smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm late today, can I sit here?"
After speaking, Xuan Yi sat next to Zhao Zhenlin under the surprised gaze of everyone, looking like a good brother.
Seeing that Xuan Yi chose to stand on his side, Zhao Ruoxue and the others were surprised and delighted, Xuan Yi really kept his word, saying that standing on their side would be on their side, it seems that even if Long Ye doesn't come today, they don't have to worry about no one supporting the scene.
"Brother Xuanyi, you came just in time, your birthday has just begun, and then the point is the point. Graciously brought the water and towels brought by the waiter for Xuanyi, Zhao Zhenlin said with a smile.
Not far away, Zhao Bao looked at the two people who were talking happily, his face was a little stiff, he never expected that Xuan Yi would choose the third child's side, what the hell is going on?
"Tut-tut, Zhao Zhenlin is lucky this time, with such a thigh. The rest of the hall was amazed and envious.
You must know that Xuan Yi's status in the Heaven Swallowing Sect is not low, his status is second only to the Sect Master and the holder of the Heaven Swallowing Order, plus he is still relatively young compared to other elders and has a bright future, everyone else regards him as a strong contender for the next Heaven Swallowing Sect Master.
Now that the possible future Heaven-Swallowing Sect Sect Master is on Zhao Zhenlin's side, how can this not surprise everyone.
can be on such a thigh, and I don't know what blessings Zhao Zhenlin has cultivated in his previous life.
"Report!"
Suddenly, the voice of a waiter came from outside the door, and people turned their heads to look.
Only when important people appear, the waiter will make a loud announcement for everyone's attention.
"Who's coming?" looked out the hall, and everyone watched curiously.
"I guess it's the city lord of Luofeng City, although he went out hunting a few days ago, but for the sake of the old man's birthday, he will definitely rush back. A man with wings waving, full of confidence.
"Hehe, how do I think he is the boss of Gu Feng's auction, you must know that he has a very good personal relationship with the old man, and only he can enjoy this kind of treatment. "A fat man who is gorgeously dressed and looks like a big businessman at first glance.
"Sect Master Chen Yuan of the Heaven Devouring Sect has arrived!"
A moment later, the waiter's follow-up words came, and people were shocked when they heard this, and quickly stood up.
The status of the sect master of the Heaven Swallowing Sect is not much different from the old man above, and he is the master of a sect, except for the Xuantie Sect on their heads, he is the strongest in the Heaven Swallowing Sect, so people have to give him the necessary respect.
