Hongfu, the lights are on.

In the small hall at the outskirts of Mingshan Hall, there were two plates of cold dishes and a pot of new wine on the small round table.

Across the table, Hong Fan and Hong Fu sat opposite each other.

Since he left the clan school, he would take the initiative to invite his cousin to dinner every month.

If so, Hongfu's situation has improved in all aspects.

However, in the past, the two of them were about to go out at the wine shop - being able to arrange a table in Mingshantang is Hong Fan's new "power" after returning from Jinhai.

"Hong Pingxiu has reached the pinnacle of the inner vision realm, and it is estimated that he will be able to penetrate the first serious path in four or five months."

Hong Fu said with a little envy, looking at the elegant furnishings in the side hall.

The several large and small private rooms in Mingshan Hall have always been used by the elders of the clan when they entertain outsiders.

In the past ten years, he has not had the opportunity to enjoy here.

"I've also made some progress during this time."

Hong Fu said.

"I asked Xi Tan for advice in private; He said that by the end of the year, I should be able to break through to the pulse side. ”

"I can't say that it will be faster than Hong An!"

Speaking of the comparison with his own brother, the little fat man's tone was restrained and brisk.

"By the way, I heard that the eldest prince brought someone back today, but the matter has come to an end?"

Hong Fu looked at the bandage around his brother's waist and said with concern.

"Yes, the teams of the three families are back, and they are all led by the clan elders themselves, sweeping and beheading dozens of levels in ten days."

Hong Fan replied.

"Isn't it painful to fly at sea? Let them break ground on Tai Sui's head! ”

Hong Fu drank a glass of wine happily when he heard this.

Hong Fan's expression was not excited.

"Most of these captures are other locks, and those who fly at sea shrink well."

He said, remembering the two mysterious people who were sensed by the Dragon Soul Tree more than ten days ago.

"The clan thinks that Wan Guangji is taking revenge for the past, but I always feel that it is not that simple."

"Brother Fan, just a group of little sand bandits, what kind of storm can they set off?"

Hong Fu smiled and hammered the arm of the clan brother.

"It's really annoying us, only the eldest master goes north alone, and they have to break up!"

Hong Fan nodded when he heard this, and drank the residual wine in the cup.

As the two spoke, hot dishes came one after another—in addition to the whole stewed hen, there was also a roasted fish.

The two of them had only moved a few chopsticks before they heard the staggering of chips in the next hall, and the sound of discussion drifted along the beam.

"The eldest lady is going to be robbed of the right to be in charge, do you know this?"

It sounded like a middle-aged man talking.

The tone made a gesture of "the law does not pass on six ears", but the voice was so loud that I was afraid that others would not hear it.

"Who doesn't know this, it is said that the wives of Master Pan and Master Wu took over, but didn't it say that it was because the eldest lady was unwell?"

Another voice asked.

Across a wall, Hong Fu unconsciously stopped his chopsticks and focused on his ears.

"Where is the discomfort of the brocade clothes and jade food?"

The first person replied.

"Let me tell you, it was she who mistreated the Xingjun of our Hong family, and she was used to explain!"

Hong Fu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the handsome brother on the other side of the table - he knew that the power of the Star Monarch was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he would have such power as soon as he inherited it!

But Hong Fan's expression was still calm.

The change in power in the back house of the Hong family was already expected by him.

There are hundreds of people in the Hong Mansion, except for Aunt Liu and Hong Fu, Hong Fan's handling of the rest of the interpersonal relationships is based on one point.

Exchange of interests.

Therefore, the eldest lady's disposition is his half-hidden temptation in the last conversation.

The soul passes through the two worlds, there is no other relative, and there is no entanglement with the world.

The family's attitude towards him at this time will also determine his attitude towards the family in the future.

Fortunately, the Hong family has just experienced the strength of blood and fire and is on the rise, and they did not despise Hong Fan because of his youth, and made remedies very decisively and resolutely.

The conversation next door continues.

"You don't understand."

"Although the authority of the Star Monarch is powerful, it is as amazing as the Sha Gong, and it has only grown for ten years to have the power of the mighty Jinhai!"

At this point, the voice finally became quieter.

But with Hong Fan's cultivation, he can still hear it vaguely.

"The eldest prince will be able to reach the peak of his strength in a few years at most, if everything goes well, it is not impossible to enter the innate within two or three years."

"I don't think it's possible to think like that!"

The voice was like a mosquito at this point, but it quickly rebounded.

"What's going on, people come and go three or four times, and all the dishes go next door?"

The middle-aged man at first was not angry.

"The cold dishes are all gone, is this for us to drink dry wine?"

Then there was the movement of tables and chairs, and the sound of irritable footsteps.

Soon there was a voice from outside asking the subordinate, and then it stopped abruptly.

Hong Fu was confused, but Hong Fan roughly guessed the matter.

The next door was quiet for a moment, and then there were two people, an old man and a young man, at the door of the private room.

"I didn't expect it to be Brother Fan next door, I am your cousin, and now I am in charge of the family's rice shop on West Street."

The person who spoke was holding a wine glass and jug in both hands, with a rich figure and a fair face.

Hong Fan remembered that this person's name was Hong Sheng.

One of the few ways out after he left the clan school, one was to help this person.

"This is the dog Hongzhang......"

After a few glasses of wine, the two "uninvited guests" were sent away, and the side hall was quiet again.

Hong Fu fell silent for a moment.

Although Hong Sheng has not made much achievements in martial arts, he has a lot of business talents, and he is one of the few people in the clan.

But this distant cousin just gave Hong Fan a smile enthusiastically.

"Brother Fan, there were so many people on the street that day, I really didn't expect you to get the sand world."

Hong Fu suddenly sighed.

He now recalled Hong Fan's successive breakthroughs after recovering from internal injuries, and he was finally able to understand - that was the effect of "Destiny Star Positioning".

But Hong Fu did not attribute all his friend's progress to luck.

He is the closest person to Hong Fan, and he knows best all aspects of what Hong Fan has changed in the past six months.

Dealing with people, talking and behaving, demeanor and temperament, the sudden revelation of fighting skills, and the whimsical ideas about mathematics and equipment that he didn't understand at all......

"Brother Fan."

Hong Fu called, looking at his brother fixedly.

"What's wrong?"

Hong Fan asked with a smile.

"I suddenly felt as if I had never really met ......"

Hong Fu said in a daze.

As soon as he blurted out the words, he realized that something was wrong, but after all, he couldn't stop the mixed feelings in his heart, so he had to drink alcohol as a cover-up.

Hong Fan raised his glass and did not speak.

Originally, it was a stupid bird that learned to fly, but it turned out that one suddenly soared into the sky and showed the momentum of Kunpeng, how can he not be sad when he was pulled down?

However, the atmosphere in the side hall did not last long before it was broken by Hong Fu himself.

"Hey, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants."

He chewed on fish maw in his mouth and slurred his speech.

"There are more than 100,000 people in Jinhai City, but my clan brother has become the Star Monarch, this is something that can't be begged for!"

The little fat man swallowed the fish and pulled another chicken leg into Hong Fan's bowl, grabbed the other one and nibbled it violently.

It seems that there is no way to solve the problem.

Hong Fan looked at the corners of Hong Fu's mouth that was dyed with chicken fat, and suddenly laughed.

"That is, you, can stand me at the beginning......"

As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box from his bosom and opened it and placed it on the table.

Inside are five high-quality Tuigong pills.

"Work hard and strive to break through the breakthrough realm within a year."

"If it's not enough, come back to me."

Hong Fan said casually.

With Hong Li's promise, at least he will never lack the Push Gong Pill again.

"Give it to me? That's too valuable......"

Hong Fu smelled the fragrance of the elixir, his eyes widened, but he unconsciously chewed the chicken leg in his mouth.

"Just take it."

Hong Fan pushed the box.

"Hong Ping has his brother."

"You have yours too."
