Chapter 237: Invitation
Chapter 237: Invitation
Chu Qiu was under the pressure of this world, all the time, he was in a state of cultivation, and his strength was also improving every day.
Now that he has been in this world for three days, compared to the first day, Chu Qiu's strength at this moment has recovered to half of his original strength.
If he fought against the Thousand-Legged Centipede and the Winged Tiger again, Chu Qiu could also kill the two giant beasts with his bare hands without using weapons.
It was precisely because of such strength that Chu Qiu dared to go straight to the base alone.
Accompanied by Cheng You, Chu Qiu took the elevator and reached the eighth floor, where there were only more than 100,000 people, all of whom belonged to the management of the Martial God Temple.
The Martial God Temple has two major commanders, namely Fan Xun and the other is called Shangguan Town.
Shangguan Zhen was originally a subordinate of Fan Xun, a local who was promoted on the spot after the previous commander was transferred.
According to the regulations of the Martial God Temple, Shangguan Zhen will be the commander of Base 97 for half a year at most, and a new commander will come to hand over it.
So in fact, Shangguan Zhen is still Fan Xun's deputy.
"Lord Chu is really a young hero," Fan Xun laughed, stroked his long beard, and smiled very kindly.
"Commander Fan is polite!"
Compared to Fan Xun's big grin, Chu Qiu's expression was much colder, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, even if he was smiling.
This Fan Xun is nearly seventy years old, he is an old man of the Martial God Temple, not a native of Xiangzhou, but he has been the commander of Xiangzhou for twenty years, which is earlier than Murong Xiushan came to Xiangzhou.
At the beginning, Murong Xiushan won the position of the mountain god in the martial arts competition, and this Fan Xun was not less angry.
Fortunately, Murong Xiushan's strength could directly crush him, so Fan Xun didn't cause trouble.
Now Chu Qiu is the king-level powerhouse who escorted the autumn grain introduced by Murong Xiushan, and two days ago in the southern mountain range, he had a big battle with Gongsun Hai and others, and his fame had already spread to several nearby bases.
For Fan Xun, Chu Qiu is a dragon crossing the river.
The banquet that received Chu Qiu was of a very high standard, accompanied by Fan Xun and Shangguan Zhen, and four deputy commanders attended.
But in Fan Xun's words, he put on a lofty posture, as if Chu Qiu was his subordinate.
Chu Qiu wandered in the last days, and he was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and this Fan Xun's performance ability was not very good, so he naturally saw it clearly.
The two of them were politely interacting here, and suddenly outside the door, Cheng You walked in.
Cheng You bowed slightly to Fan Xun and said, "Commander, when the head of the Lei family learned that Lord Chu was coming, he sent someone to come to congratulate him with gifts, and sent an invitation, wanting to invite Lord Chu to have a dinner party in the Fire Dragon Palace!" ”
The Fire Dragon Palace is the No. 97 base, the best restaurant, which is the property of the Lei family, located on the twelfth floor.
"Hehe, the head of the Lei family? But Lei Zhan Lei is the head of the Lei family? ”
Chu Qiu took the invitation, glanced at it, smiled gently, and asked towards Cheng You.
When Cheng You heard Chu Qiu's post, he hurriedly nodded: "Lei Zhan, the head of the Lei family has just taken over the Lei family, and he is only the acting head of the family!" ”
Cheng You, let's say it, everyone present laughed, obviously not caring about this thunder battle.
Chu Qiu's heart moved.
Five months ago, the Lei family was still the strongest family in Base 97.
But five months ago, because of the unexpected death of the old family Lei Yunhao, the status of the first family of the Lei family began to be impacted.
More than a month ago, the second head of the Lei family, Thunder. was besieged and killed by sand bandits, resulting in the fact that there is no king-level powerhouse in the Lei family at present.
Naturally, the Lei family lost its qualifications as a big family.
Even the Lei family's mine outside was purchased at a low price by the new Bu family.
It can be said that the Lei family is now on the verge of danger.
At this time, the acting head of the Lei family suddenly came to visit Chu Qiu, which made everyone present feel a long meaning.
The tiger is dead, and the aftermath is there.
Everyone present didn't know how much background the Lei family had, so even if they looked down on this Lei Zhan, there was no need to offend them directly.
Everyone looked at Chu Qiu, after all, the person Lei Zhan wanted to visit was Chu Qiu.
"Tell the person who came, I will go to the appointment tomorrow!"
Chu Qiu came to Base 97, and if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he had to win over local forces.
And Chu Qiu's first choice was the Lei family, whose strength had plummeted.
Now that the Lei family has come to invite on behalf of the head of the family, for Chu Qiu, it is just a drowsiness and a pillow, which is really timely.
Counting it up, the Lei family is the first family of Base 97, and it has firmly occupied this position for more than forty years, and the information channel is particularly extensive.
If the two former heads of the Lei family had not died, it would have been impossible to take the initiative to invite Chu Qiu.
But now it is not as good as before, in order to consolidate its position, and in order to increase the bargaining chips for its family and avoid being swallowed up, the Lei family decided to take the initiative to bow their heads and look for the blessing of the strong.
Three days ago, Chu Qiu, who appeared strongly, was definitely a very perfect candidate.
Lei Zhan, as the acting head of the family, made a timely move, which can be regarded as taking a little advantage.
As Lei Zhan sent gifts and invitations, other families then got the news and also sent congratulatory gifts and invitations.
After all, a king-level powerhouse, and a king-level powerhouse with the power of a second-order bloodline, is enough to break the balance between the forces of several families.
To the relief of several families, Chu Qiu accepted everyone's gifts, and arranged to go to the banquet one by one in the last two or three days.
Chu Qiu sent away the people from the five major families, and he seemed neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor arrogant, after all, his strength gave him confidence.
Being able to fight against Gongsun Hai, Gongsun Boda, Chen Kang, Aunt Hu, and Aunt Gongsun, and defeat Aunt Hu and Aunt Gongsun, I believe that if Murong Xiushan does not appear, it will be difficult for the other three to retreat.
Chu Qiu has such strength, and Fan Xun finally became serious about Chu Qiu after the initial hypocrisy.
Fan Xun couldn't pull his head, he was condescending, but Shangguan Zhen didn't matter.
In the face of Chu Qiu, Shangguan Zhen was particularly flattering, after all, a month later, Shangguan Town was going to escort the autumn grain, and Chu Qiu was the senior bodyguard who escorted the autumn grain.
If you don't have a good relationship with the senior bodyguards, if there are really eyeless sand bandits who come to rob you, won't you be in bad luck.
With the praise of Shangguan Zhen and the other four deputy commanders, this banquet can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.
Fan Xun and the others all have private relatives in their residences, which is inconvenient for Chu Qiu to stay in, and some of the rooms in the Martial God Hall here are a little cramped.
It was too late to pack up and move for a while, so he simply invited Chu Qiu to live in a guild hall on the tenth floor.
This hall relies on the Martial God Temple behind it, and the grade is very good, and Cheng You helped Chu Qiu arrange it early. After Chu Qiu finished the banquet, he directly sent him to the guest room to check in.
The pattern of three bedrooms and two living rooms, after pushing the door open, is the soft pure white cashmere carpet, the home is a well-carved classical home, the dragon and the phoenix dance, stretching out the claws and wings, lifelike.
In addition to the classical furniture, there are separate bathrooms and even a kitchen.
It doesn't look like a hotel room, it's more like a home.
After pushing open the master bedroom, there is a large bed more than two meters wide, covered with a pure white tabby blanket with bright fur. There are already several sets of clothes in the closet, which is very luxurious......
"My lord," Shangguan Zhen had just returned to his house when a servant walked in and said, "The second son of the Bu family has been waiting in the living room for half an hour......
