Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the first day of the new year, and tonight, a different kind of dinner will be held in the courtyard belonging to the fifteenth sister and father and daughter in the manor where the Huang family is located.

Since the last time he received the invitation from the fifteenth sister, Lu Yi has been staying at home, although so, it has not delayed him in collecting information about this banquet, and the Huang Xin brothers naturally know about this banquet, so all the information about the banquet has been continuously transmitted to Lu Yi, including who was invited to the banquet, what might be exchanged during the banquet, and even what dishes were served Lu Yi. Although the real topic of this banquet has not been clarified so far, it is obvious that this banquet is specially used to win people's hearts, because except for the fifteenth sister and father and daughter, basically no other important people from the Huang family have been invited.

Lu Yi had been to the Huang family manor several times, so he was very familiar with the road and found the fifteenth sister's house, and from a distance, he saw that there were many people coming in and out of the brightly lit courtyard gate. Lu Yi stepped forward and handed out the invitation card given to him by the fifteenth sister, and someone politely led Lu Yi into the courtyard, which is a medium-sized courtyard, which is not much different from the size of the house where Lu Yi lives now, the layout of the courtyard is very simple, except for three two-story buildings, there is only a small flower garden. Coming to a slightly larger building in the middle, Lu Yi saw that there were eight tables of wine banquets in the spacious hall on the first floor, and there were already more than 60 people seated at this moment, these people Lu Yi basically had the impression that they were monks who passed the preliminary round with him, and all of these people were from outside the Huang family, although these people were invited to join the Huang family by different people from the Huang family in different capacities, but now they basically appear here, I have to say that the fifth uncle in the mouth of the Huang family brothers really has a certain skill, Lu Yi is now more and more interested in this person。 Although he had read the information about this person that Huang Liang had passed on to him before, according to Huang Liang, the current fifth uncle was already like the previous fifth uncle, and the failure of the impact on the spirit building made him suffer a great blow, resulting in a great change in temperament, and even his close relatives for many years could not see through him and could not be sure.

Lu Yi sat in his seat very low-key, and after nodding slightly with the people around him, he stopped talking, and the atmosphere of the scene was not active enough, after all, everyone was not too familiar, after a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps from the upper floor of the hall, and then, seven or eight people appeared in the corridor on the second floor of the hall, Lu Yi looked up and saw the fifteenth sister standing in a burly, Beside the cold-looking middle-aged man, the two were surrounded by six other people, these people Lu Yi had seen in the information, the middle-aged man was naturally the father of the fifteenth sister and the fifth uncle of the Huang family brothers-Huang Tianchen, and the other six people were the competitors who fell directly to his next head of the family after Huang Tianchen left the customs: Huang Tianli, the brother of the same father and mother as the fifth uncle, Huang Liang's thirteenth brother Huang Yu, and several other branches of the Huang family's direct lineage who were slightly distant. Among them, Huang Tianli and Huang Yu are the representatives of the family who have always held opposite opinions with Huang Liang's brothers, when Huang Xin sat on the position of the head of the family, Huang Tianli strongly opposed, and even he once fought for himself, and now as soon as his own brother came out, he was the first to lean forward, Huang Xin Huang Liang and others believe that the reason why Huang Tianchen said so quickly that he wanted to take over the position of the head of the family has a lot to do with Huang Tianli. And Huang Yu was dealt with by Huang Xin impartially because of his violation of clan rules in his early years, and he has always held a grudge, this person is scheming and ambitious, and he has long been secretly supporting his own forces, and now he is also falling to Huang Tianchen, but this person is by no means the kind of person who is willing to be subordinate, so the Huang brothers analyzed, he is likely to be just taking advantage of the situation to develop now, and the real motive is unknown. These two people are all for Lu Yi to focus on.

The fifteenth sister's eyes swept over the guests present, and soon found Lu Yi, she immediately pursed her mouth, made an angry expression, and glanced at Lu Yi "viciously", and stopped looking at him angrily.

Huang Tianchen's aura of the late seventh order was fully displayed, coupled with his already cold appearance, he looked around the audience and laughed: "Welcome to the cold house, everyone who can give me Huang face today, Huang has already remembered it, Huang will add wine to you one by one to express his respect, I hope you can become a family with Huang in the future, and jointly lead the Huang family to new glory." This man was very good at closing the distance between himself and outsiders, and in a few words, he kidnapped the people who came to the banquet to his chariot.

"The Huang family master is polite, since we have chosen to participate in the Huang family's ring competition, we naturally want to develop with the Huang family, and I also ask the Huang family master to take care of it in the future. "Among the guests, there are naturally some people who belong to this force, and after listening to Huang Tianchen's words, some people opened their mouths to greet them, and directly called Huang Tianchen the head of the Huang family.

Although this sycophant was too obvious, the other monks did not speak out against it, which made Huang Tianchen feel very good, laughed and led the people upstairs to slowly walk down the stairs, quite a sense of the arrival of the king, Lu Yi observed the guests at the scene, and found that some people had warm eyes, some people frowned, and more people were sad and joyless, and the distant relatives of the guests and Huang Tianchen were sparse.

At the beginning of the banquet, Huang Tianchen and the fifteenth sister sat in the chairman, and several other people sat at each table to preside. Soon, Huang Tianchen turned to Lu Yi's table, and when he walked to Lu Yi, he deliberately glanced at Lu Yi a few more times, but did not pour wine for Lu Yi, but stared at Lu Yi with eyes and said: "Boy, I know you! Dare to bully my baby daughter, you are really bold." ”

Lu Yi's face was calm and indifferent, "Bullying or not bullying, who bullies whom, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, why should the seniors threaten me with big bullies, and they are not afraid of losing the identity of the host?"

"What a pair of sharp teeth, but your kid's not arrogant and humble strength is very temperamental to the old man! Come, this glass of wine the old man respects you, congratulate you on successfully attracting the old man's attention, I hope you can stay and have a good exchange with the old man after the banquet. Unexpectedly, Huang Tianchen didn't laugh at Lu Yi's coldness, obviously he was testing Lu Yi just now.

Soon, Huang Tianchen toasted everyone at this table, and he went straight to the next table without making any stops.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours before it ended, and it was almost midnight when the guests left one after another, and in the huge hall, only Lu Yi and a few servants in charge of cleaning were left at this moment, and Lu Yi was not in a hurry, sitting there by himself, playing with a beautiful wine cup in his hand. The figure upstairs flashed, and the fifteenth sister appeared in the corridor on the second floor, "Come on, bastard, my father wants to see you." ”

Lu Yi glanced up at the fifteenth sister, smiled at her disapprovingly, and then got up and walked upstairs.

It is a huge room, but there are not many furnishings in the room, except for a square table made of jade and two stone chairs, there are only a few futons for meditation, which shows that the owner of this room is an ascetic and does not have much material desire.

At this moment, Lu Yi and Huang Tianchen were sitting opposite each other, and there was only a pot of tea and two teacups on the stone table between the two. The two of them had been sitting like this for a long time, but neither of them spoke.

"Let's talk about it, what is the purpose of you approaching my daughter?" Huang Tianchen spoke.

"Senior, there is one thing I hope you will make clear first, I didn't get close to Miss Huang, on the contrary, she somehow made trouble for me again and again, I was so annoyed that I had even been hiding for half a year, and she still arranged for someone to keep an eye at my door, I want to ask Miss Huang, where did Long offend her and make her so interested in Long?" Lu Yi was neither arrogant nor humble, and shot back coldly.

"Hmph, what nonsense, since you have no intention of treating my precious daughter, then why did you still let Huang Liangxiao propose marriage to my daughter?

"This senior is even more wronged by Long. Speaking of this matter, I have to ask Long to explain it to you. Lu Yi smiled wryly, "Long came to Extinguishing Cloud City to be full of less than seven months, before he had been wandering around looking for opportunities, Long had been dealing with demon beasts all his life, I heard that the current Extinguishing Cloud City pet * Yi is extremely popular, so I deliberately crossed nearly half of the Eastern Regions to find opportunities, I was out of righteous indignation, when I entered the city, I took care of a nossy business, and I happened to be bumped into by Brother Huang Liang, and I happened to go to buy a residence and met him again, so he warmly invited Long to participate in this selection. He promised Long a lot of benefits, and after learning that I was alone, he repeatedly offered me to introduce Miss Huang to me, and he also guaranteed that this matter would be successful. But I'm used to being alone, every time Huang Liang mentions this, I repeatedly shirk it, until the last time I met Miss Huang on Jianbao Street and helped her out, I knew that Huang Liang was pushing this matter and exerting force on both sides, while Ling Qianjin and I were always in the dark. For this reason, I found Huang Liang afterwards to express my dissatisfaction, and he also promised to explain the matter to Miss Huang on my behalf, but Ling Qianjin didn't seem to let Long go, and went to my house several times to disturb her, and even told others that I owed her debts, and found someone to come to collect it, and did such a ridiculous thing, which really made Long cry and laugh!"

The more Huang Tianchen listened, the more gloomy his face became, and when Lu Yi finished speaking, his face was already like ink, "Ridiculous!" Huang Tianchen slapped the table after listening, and the tea set on the stone table trembled.

Lu Yi saw Huang Tianchen so angry, his heart lightened, it seems that this Huang Tianchen is not a calf protector, at least he is reasonable, but the next sentence almost made Lu Yi faint.
