Chapter 180: Going to the Banquet
Hwaseong is a big city in the Martial Domain, but in the Endless Continent, it is just a small place, a very small place. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Li Dao understands very well that there is no future to speak of if he stays here, and it is inevitable to leave here, but he doesn't want to leave for the time being.
He is still too weak, but his enemies are so strong, he must be careful in everything he does, otherwise he will only bring about his own destruction.
Of course, it's not that he cringes when he does things, what he has done during this time is proof.
Constantly improving his status and connections, this is what Li Dao is doing now, he believes that as long as he runs properly, his own safety will be guaranteed, and it will not be easy for others to deal with him.
This is the best way to protect yourself.
As a master of the four major trade unions, Li Dao's status can be said to have soared, and now he is also the number one person in Hwaseong, especially among young talents, no one can stand out, which is a miracle.
Li Dao felt that in Hwaseong, as long as there was no major accident, there was no problem with his safety.
On the streets, he walked for a while, bought a large number of things, and then Li Dao returned home to prepare for retreat.
However, before the retreat, Jiao Yan had a conversation with him.
"Fan Xing, thank you for helping my Jiao family. Jiao Yan bowed to Li Dao and saluted.
She was very respectful and not pretentious at all.
Li Dao looked at her with some surprise and said, "I helped your Jiao family, which is also related to the past events, and it can be regarded as a kind of reward for your Jiao family, so don't care too much." β
Jiao Yan shook her head and said: "Don't say that, when I talk about the past, I only have shame in my heart, it was because I was young and ignorant that I would do that." You are a lot of adults and don't want to deal with me, but I still feel very guilty in my heart. β
When Li Dao heard this, he didn't explain anything anymore, he didn't care much about this matter.
When Jiao Yan saw Li Dao's demeanor, her heart was full of loss, after so many things, if she didn't know that she was blind that day.
As for the matter of regretting the marriage that day, she, like the rest of the Jiao family, was full of regret, but the matter has reached this point, can it be reversed? The rest of the Jiao family is still not dead, but Jiao Yan has been following Li Dao for so long, and she knows a thing or two about Li Dao's temperament, and knows that it is impossible.
Li Dao's status is getting higher and higher, and the distance between her and her will only get farther and farther, she wants to get closer, but that can't be done at all.
"I think you should also know the meaning of my Jiao family's arrangement for me to be by your side, I don't ask you to accept me. But I hope you will continue to have me by your side to help you, and I will do my best to do it for you. Jiao Yan said bluntly.
Li Dao looked at her with mixed feelings in his heart.
This world is such a reality, when Fan Xing was down, this Jiao Yan didn't even glance at him, and even sneered at him who replaced Fan Xing that day, but now? Things have changed 180 degrees.
This Jiao Yan was "dead hearted" to herself, stammering hard, and did not dare to offend him at all.
This is the role of a person's strength and power, if there are no such things, this Jiao Yan is probably still too lazy to look at him.
Li Dao nodded and agreed to Jiao Yan.
This made Jiao Yan very happy.
Li Dao didn't care much about this, the reason why he agreed to Jiao Yan was definitely not because he had any wrong thoughts about Jiao Yan, now he has a very high spiritual realm, and he doesn't pay attention to those things between men and women, and he himself is not the kind of person who is sensitive to feelings.
He just felt that Jiao Yan had indeed done a lot of things for him during this time, and he had done it very properly, so he planned to continue to use the other party.
After ordering her to continue to take over the tasks of the four major trade unions for herself and keep in touch with him, Li Dao went into retreat again.
Most of the month passed in a hurry.
In the past half a month, Li Dao spent some time doing tasks, and the rest of the time refining the Nine Rank Zengyuan Pill for himself, and his cultivation soon rose.
Innate Fivefold Peak!
This cultivation is already very good, the reason why Li Dao's realm can be greatly improved, in addition to the Nine Rank Zengyuan Dan, is that his spiritual realm is high, and his perception of the Dao has become very sensitive, otherwise it would not be possible to make such rapid progress.
......
There are still a few days before the next assessment, but Li Dao is out of the customs ahead of schedule.
That's because of one thing, the birthday banquet of the city lord of Huacheng.
The invitation was given to him by Xu Lin that day, and he naturally didn't want to miss it, this was a great opportunity to get to know the upper-level martial artists of Hwaseong, which allowed him to enter the circle of Hwaseong martial artists.
Night fell in Hwaseong, and Li Dao walked around Hwaseong for the first time at night.
Although there is no modern power supply system, there are precious gems such as luminous stones decorated with the whole Hwaseong Fortress and the day, but there is a little more scenery that can only be found at night, which can be said to have a unique flavor.
This is not a strange thing in the martial domain, the masters in the martial domain basically don't need to sleep, and of course they won't ban communication because of the night, so it's really a waste of time.
Huacheng City Lord's Mansion, now people come and go, and the shouts are coming and going from the door to the mansion.
When Li Dao and Jiao Yan handed the invitation to the guards guarding the door.
"Yipin Yuan Dan Normal has arrived. The guard shouted loudly, as for the gift given by Li Dao, the guard did not say it openly, but wrote down the type and quantity of the treasure with a special person.
The gift to the City Lord's Mansion is also skillful, if you want to tie up the City Lord's Mansion, you must give a generous gift, otherwise I am afraid that you will offend the City Lord's Mansion.
The gift given by Li Dao was not something too precious, he didn't care too much about the Hwaseong City Lord's Mansion, and with his potential, he didn't need to slap the other party.
Li Dao is now a celebrity, and when he heard Li Dao's arrival, many people also came over.
"Brother Fan, you're here!" Hong Fu, a first-level yuan master of the refiner union, greeted Li Dao.
Next to him were Wu Tianning and Ye Que, who both attended the birthday banquet.
In addition to them, Li Dao found that he really had a lot of acquaintances, Feng Yuan, Zhong Xiao and Feng Yue, the first-class Yuan Dan masters of the Alchemist Guild.
The first-level Yuan Array Masters of the Array Mage Guild, Han Hong, Lu Tianyi, and Bai Yun.
The first-class Yuan Talisman of the Talisman Maker Guild is Zhang Huai'an, Dongfang Ming and Lu Qi.
These people who came to greet him either had a good relationship with Li Dao, or had a lower status than Li Dao, these were all people who wanted to slap him up, and the masters who went to the City Lord's Mansion to congratulate him must have other masters who were familiar with Li Dao, but those people would not necessarily come to greet Li Dao.
"Hahahaha, friends, thank you for coming, I really feel very honored. Li Dao laughed.
These people are all his connections, Li Dao will not look down on these people because of their low strength, even if they are psychologically despised, they will not show it on their faces, then they will really offend people, Li Dao is not a fool and will never do that.
Hong Fu said: "Brother Fan, you are the first time to come to the City Lord's Mansion, if there is anything unfamiliar, just ask me, the elder brother must know everything." β
Wu Tianning pouted on the side and said, "Hong Fu, you old fellow! This is the City Lord's Mansion, and it's not your home, do you still need to introduce it? Brother Fan wants to understand, and he won't look for someone from the City Lord's Mansion, where do you need to come out?"
Hong Fucai ignored Wu Tianning, and said to Li Dao: "Brother Fan, you don't have to worry about this guy. How many times have I entered the City Lord's Mansion, and how many people know some of the doorways? β
Ye Que said: "You still don't want to pester Brother Fan here, a young man like Brother Fan must go to talk to other young heroes." Brother Fan, there will be a lot of famous ladies coming tonight, don't miss it easily, maybe you can hug the beauty!"
"Boom!" Hong Fu said with an old and disrespectful look: "Ye Que, you are really, have you forgotten that there was a beautiful woman by Brother Fan's side?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Jiao Yan naturally.
Speaking of which, Jiao Yan has been following Li Dao and seems to be a maid, but the relationship between the two sides does not seem to be a simple master-servant relationship, they have not checked, and even have some results, but they are not very satisfied with the results.
The news they got was that Jiao Yan was Li Dao's fiancΓ©e, but after the Fan family was down, Jiao Yan looked down on Li Dao, so she proposed to Li Dao to withdraw from the marriage, and it was really successful.
This is puzzling, according to this situation, Li Dao and Jiao Yan should be as powerful as fire and water, but the situation they saw was obviously not like this, the young man and woman couldn't see it at all, they were very close, of course, it was an unmarried couple, and it was not so close.
They were very curious about this, and sent someone to the Jiao family to investigate, but the Jiao family's tone was very tight, and it seemed that they had been strictly ordered, and they couldn't hear the news at all.
Jiao Yan can be regarded as fighting, they know that Li Dao should not have the intention of renewing the relationship with Jiao Yan, but they are unwilling to draw a line with Li Dao like this, even if it is misunderstood, they also want to pretend to have a great relationship with Li Dao, even if it will be debunked in the end, this is nothing, anyway, they are not really deceived, they are just other people thinking nonsense.
But this effect is very obvious, whether the Jiao family is in Zhoucheng or Huacheng, the action is very convenient, with the big tree of Li Dao, their Jiao family's power has not only not diminished, but is stronger than before, I have to say that it is a small miracle.
This miracle is undoubtedly because of Li Dao, Li Dao doesn't know about this matter, and even if he knows, he won't care, his current vision height is not comparable to a mere Jiao family.
"Brother Fan, can you tell me what is the relationship between you and this Jiao girl?" Hong Fu suddenly teased Li Daodao.
Li Dao smiled at the corner of his mouth, he still likes to talk to friends like this, even if there are some interests, it doesn't matter, when he was on earth, he was a businessman, for these are also considered to be the way, many people are like this, seeing people talking about people, talking nonsense, in fact, there is nothing wrong, this may be a fake politeness in the eyes of some people, but this world is so realistic, how can anything be more true?
It's not that people are really confused, but they are very shrewd! It's just that too much attention to certain things will not do you any good, but will do a lot of harm.
Li Dao needs these people to make friends, and these people are also willing to befriend Li Dao, and the two sides are mutually beneficial, and as long as they do not harm Li Dao's interests, then the two sides will be friends.
"You really want to know?" Li Dao asked these people with a smile.
"Tell us to know!" Wu Tianning was also hooked, exploring other people's secrets, this curiosity is really strong!
Li Dao pondered for a moment, as if it was very difficult before he made up his mind: "What I tell you, you must not tell anyone else?"
"Yes!" Ye Que immediately patted his chest and said.
Seeing him so big-governed, everyone laughed, Ye Que didn't say it, they didn't promise, if they didn't say it, then only God knew.
Li Dao said very seriously: "Then you know that this is a secret." β
Leaf shortcomings head.
Li Dao stared at him in a daze for a while, which made Ye Que feel strange, and he didn't know what Li Dao meant.
Li Daocai smiled and said: "Brother Ye, you are really, you know that it is a secret, and you still ask me! Do you think I am such a sloppy person?"
Hahahaha!
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and many people pointed at Ye Que, and their stomachs twitched with laughter.
Embarrassment!
Ye Que's face turned red, he didn't know that he was tricked by Li Dao, but Li Dao's status was much higher than him, he couldn't trouble Li Dao, he could only stare at the others fiercely, and said, "Smile and laugh! Have you laughed enough?"
"Hahahaha!"
What a pity!
Ye Que's deterrent power is really limited, although his old face is already extremely red, and the others have no intention of stopping, but laughing even harder.
Ye Que was helpless, so he could only twist his head away, he remembered these people.
This is not a grudge, in fact, it is not a matter, but it can be regarded as entertaining the public, these people do not help him, there is no malicious intent, even Li Dao is mostly joking, he is not such a stingy person, otherwise it would not be possible to be so old, and he can still work in the refiner's union.
Li Dao looked at everyone with a smile on his face, this is a very sincere smile.
How long has it been!
He had such a brisk conversation with his friends, still in the middle of a banquet, which made him feel like he had returned to the earth years.
galloping in various banquets, using various means, and those business giants, sometimes talking and laughing, sometimes-for-tat, one second is a friend, the next second is an enemy, which can be called mysterious. (To be continued.) )
