Chapter Thirty-Eight: Tempting Identity
In the council hall of the city lord's mansion, one person sits upright in the center, and there is a row of cases on both sides of the lower hand, except for the first table on the right side, the rest of the tables are all already owners.
City Lord An Zhengyuan closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and the guests sitting below were talking in low voices.
"Do you know who the city lord is going to feast on tonight?"
"I really don't know! I received an invitation in the afternoon saying that there was a banquet in the evening, and he asked me to bring it with me, and I was still wondering. ”
"Didn't I take Xiaoyan with me! I heard that there was a young master from Jijiazhuang, maybe it was to increase the knowledge of our young talents in Aoki City!"
"Maybe, why did you say that the people of this Jijiazhuang suddenly came to Aoki City and were not afraid of asking for trouble in the Divine Flame Valley?
"Hmph, have you forgotten the news that went viral in the city today......"
"Shhh...... Is it ......?"
The two old men who were over half a hundred years old looked at each other and saw the shock revealed in each other's eyes, and exchanged glances instantly, and both of them were silent, lowering their heads and thinking about their own affairs.
An Zhengyuan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at An Shaojie on the left and asked, "Why hasn't Shaowen arrived yet?"
"Back to my father, Brother Wen may have been delayed by something, and he should be there immediately. An Shaowen replied.
"Such a big person, it's still not serious, didn't you tell him the time of the dinner?" An Zhengyuan's face was gloomy.
"I clearly told his subordinates the hour, I think it's the senior master who is not good to invite!"
"Masters have their own demeanor, so wait a little longer!" An Zhengyuan closed his eyes again after speaking.
At this moment, the guards shouted, "The little prince brings the distinguished guests of the Ji family to ......"
"Huh", a pair of eyes with different expressions all stared at the door of the conference hall.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and An Shaowen, who was smiling, and Jiang Hua, who was holding his head high and looking calm, walked in side by side.
An Shaowen quickly glanced around as he walked, the corners of his mouth fell instantly, he pursed his lips and cursed secretly in his heart, "I was calculated by that bastard again!" and then quickly stepped forward to salute An Zhengyuan.
"Father, please forgive the child for being late, Mr. Ji has just finished cultivating, and we are already here as soon as possible. An Shaowen directly threw the pot to Jiang Hua, at least no one would be embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay, why don't you invite Mr. Ji to the front. "As the lord of a city, An Zhengyuan would never personally get up to greet a disciple of the Ji clan who had not yet been verified.
Jiang Hua faced this situation for the first time in his life, and he was a little apprehensive, after all, he was an impostor, but he was not very nervous, the big deal was to run away after being exposed, anyway, most of his tasks had been completed, and it didn't matter whether he dealt with these people or not. Thinking of this, Jiang Hua no longer had any worries, and his heart calmed down.
Seeing An Shaowen signaling him to step forward, Jiang Hua ignored the substantial gazes on both sides, and walked calmly to An Shaowen's side, he clasped his fists and saluted An Zhengyuan, and said loudly, "Ji Hua, a member of the Ji clan, has seen the city lord, passing by your land, how dare he bother the city lord to set up a banquet!" Jiang Hua didn't find that his words now have been greatly influenced by this world, and in the modern language of the earth, it is "literary crepe" with an ancient style.
An Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Hua call him, and instantly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said with a laugh, "Mr. Ji has come from afar, and the lord of this city should do his best to be a landlord and prepare a simple banquet, I hope Mr. don't mind! Shaowen, don't invite Mr. to sit down!"
An Shaowen hurriedly responded, stretched out his hand to invite Jiang Hua to sit, Jiang Hua saw that An Zhengyuan didn't ask him again, and saluted An Zhengyuan again, and then followed An Shaowen to sit behind the first seat on the right.
At An Zhengyuan's suggestion, the maid rushed in, served plates of exquisite dishes and pots of fragrant wine, and the dinner officially began.
An Zhengyuan frequently raised his glass to drink with everyone present, kept asking some parents about their short affairs, and occasionally laughed, and the atmosphere was quite lively and harmonious. Jiang Hua didn't take a few sips, and had been quietly listening to An Shaowen introduce him to the people seat.
The left-handed chief, needless to say, the eldest son, An Shaojie, An Shaowen told Jiang Hua that he was in the other party's trap tonight, and it was too late to be calculated, Jiang Hua was noncommittal, he actually understood as soon as he entered the hall.
The second seat on the left, the Zhang family in the east of the city advocates Jiusi, an intermediate master of the Naqi Realm, and next to him is his son Zhang Junyan, the junior intermediate level of the Naqi Realm, the Zhang family is the largest force in Aoki City except for the City Lord's Mansion, controlling more than half of the city's grain and grocery trade;
The third seat on the left hand, Song Renyi, the head of the Song family in the city, is an intermediate master of the Naqi realm, and the young man next to him is his second son Song Liqun, who has just entered the Naqi realm, but he is not very old, and he is a genius who broke the realm a year later than An Shaowen. His family runs a restaurant, inn and casino, An Shaowen reminded Jiang Hua and Song Liqun that he is an old and cunning villain, so he should pay more attention;
The second seat on the right hand, the Xuantian Guanguan Lord Linghui Daoist, the realm is unknown, he is an old friend of An Zhengyuan, and sitting next to him is his only apprentice Lingzhuzi, nicknamed Gou Yu, who is an abandoned baby he adopted, Linghui Daoist has always said that Gou Yu is the reincarnation of a true fairy spirit bead, but no one believes it, Lingzhu is also a beginner's cultivation of the Qi Realm, honest and kind, and even a little wooden, I don't know how to cultivate to break through the realm;
The last seat was Liu Xian, the commander of the city guards, an old acquaintance, and with his status and strength before entering the realm of monks, he could only accompany him in the last seat.
Jiang Hua held the wine glass and looked at these people one by one, only the reincarnation of the true immortal named Gou Yu was more pleasing to the eye, and the others had no good impression.
An Zhengyuan, who had just finished discussing Daozang with Linghui Daoist, suddenly coughed lightly, An Shaojie rose in response, and said loudly, "Seniors, Aoki City is in a corner, and no one from the Ji clan has ever visited. Everyone in the world knows that Ji Jiazhuang is one of the three top forces in Yuanji Prefecture, and every member of the Ji clan is a person who has cultivated to a high level and has a miraculous practice, why don't you let your disciples seize this opportunity, and ask Mr. Ji for advice!"
"Mr. Ji, don't look down on our young talents in Aoki City, these are all cultivation geniuses in Aoki City, seeing that you are similar in age to them, why don't you learn from each other to confirm it, and let them know that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, don't be a frog at the bottom of the well." You see, it's ......."
An Shaojie saw that An Shaowen wanted to open his mouth, and finished his words in one breath, and directly handed over the choice to Jiang Hua, so that An Shaowen could not pick up.
These few words seem to compliment Jiang Hua, but in fact they are forcing Jiang Hua to make a move, Jiang Hua knows very well in his heart, but he doesn't know how to reply for a while, he is very unwilling, he has no goods, won't he be exposed as soon as he makes a move! But An Shaojie's words he can't refute, without this kind of scene, he can't find a reason to refute.
An Shaowen knew that he couldn't hide tonight, and he could understand by looking at his father's expression, this was the bureau set up by his father, and An Shaojie acted as a microphone. An Shaowen was not afraid that Jiang Hua would suffer, what he was afraid of was that his father's actions would annoy Jiang Hua, he didn't want to see Jiang Hua become an enemy of the City Lord's Mansion, so in a hurry, An Shaowen stood up, bowed to Jiang Hua beside him, and said, "Mr. Ji, if you don't give up, let me ask for advice first!"
Jiang Hua thought that An Shaowen volunteered because he was afraid of his own losses, and was about to refuse, when An Zhengyuan's voice suddenly sounded, "Shaowen, you have the highest cultivation among young people here, if you make a move first, how can other young people be embarrassed to make another move?"
"This ......" An Shaowen didn't expect his father to say this, if he has the highest cultivation, if he strikes first, it's okay if he wins, if he loses, how can he still have the face to shoot, his father said this and has the intention of loving him, afraid that he will be injured if he loses Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua got up and reached out and patted An Shaowen's shoulder to signal him to sit down, and then walked slowly to the center of the hall around the table, so far, he can't avoid it, he also wants to meet the young monks here for a while, as for the identity will be revealed, let's talk about it! The mud bodhisattva also has three points of fire, Jiang Hua has been angry since he was framed by Muyan Liu Xian, until he was questioned and persecuted tonight, he was also angry, although he is a fake disciple of Jijiazhuang, but he wants to correct his cultivation tonight, even if he is not a person from Jijiazhuang, he is also a monk of the Qi realm, and not everyone can be humiliated.
"Since you want to see my cultivation, then please!"
Jiang Hua's eyes became indifferent, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the first main vein accelerated the circulation, and his palms were once again wrapped in a pale yellow light.
