The men who came down from the carriage were tall and tall in white hair and black clothes. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, some of them were naturally noble and imposing. Even if they simply stood there, they couldn't be easily ignored.

Xu Ziyan rubbed his eyes, for some reason, he always felt that the figure of that person was very familiar, and the scary aura gave him a really familiar feeling.

But he didn't remember when he had seen such a white-haired man.

However, he couldn't help thinking too much, there were many footsteps coming from behind the door, Xu Ziyan turned his head and found that his uncle led a group of people out, including his cousin, and a group of people passed him and went directly to meet the person go up.

"Thank you, City Lord, for your visit. I'm sorry to welcome you." City Lord Sheng returned the greeting with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the woman who was getting off the carriage, his expression changed slightly: "Thank you, City Lord, who is this?"

"My sister." Xie Xun said concisely.

"Oh, so it's Miss Xie." City Lord Sheng suddenly realized, and after thinking about his plan, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The mansion has prepared a banquet, please come in, both of you."

Xie Xun nodded, and walked towards the door. Xie Yunrou just got off the carriage and didn't even have time to look around, when he saw a group of people walking towards the city lord's mansion surrounded by his brother.

"Uncle, cousin." Seeing the person approaching, Xu Ziyan called out.

"Oh, Ziyan is here." City Lord Sheng responded, then turned to Xie Xun and introduced: "This is my nephew, who just turned 15 years old this year, and was promoted to the fourth rank of the Spiritual Martial Realm some time ago."

Xu Ziyan showed a look of pride. He was promoted to the fourth rank of Lingwu at the age of less than 16. It is not an exaggeration to call him a genius. In the entire Anyang City, only his cousin Sheng Hongguang has the same aptitude as him.

He strained his ears to listen to the compliment, but saw the white-haired man glance at him casually, and said calmly, "It's not bad."

Xu Ziyan's eyes widened, a little dissatisfied, but he still remembered that this was not an occasion for him to mess around, and it was not ordinary people who could be greeted by his uncle in person.

If something happened to him, his father would definitely break his leg.

This is not a joke, the old-fashioned Xu Patriarch became angry, and even his wife couldn't persuade him.

but--

Xu Ziyan frowned suspiciously, why did he feel that this man's hateful voice sounded familiar.

It seems that I have heard this hateful voice somewhere.

Xu Ziyan was immersed in his own thoughts, struggling to recall where he had heard the voice before, completely oblivious to the fact that behind the passing team in front of him was a woman he had seen before.

The most important guests have already taken their seats, and the banquet has officially begun in the brightly lit City Lord's Mansion.

Numerous beautiful maids shuttled through the banquet hall with delicacies or fine wines, and in the corner was also the place of the music team, they played beautiful music and the softness of the dancers in the central area dancing.

Cups were intertwined, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, but the dancers ignored the musicians who played these dances that suited them. Their charming and longing eyes all fell on the high platform—the handsome and evil face of the white-haired city lord.

Just now, their honorable city lord introduced this guest from Pingyang City to everyone.

The honorable Pingyang city lord, the youngest master master in the mainland, is rich... with a lot of aura, he alone overwhelms the demeanor of everyone present, and the dancers don't look down on others at all.

No, not only the dancers, but also the girls who were arranged to sit at the back.

Martial Artist Continent has always respected force, and there has never been a rule that women must submit to men, and there is no rule that women should not attend banquets.

But at this time, the women's family, the young ladies of the Sheng family who deliberately asked to sit at the bottom didn't mean to tease the second room girl before, but talked in a low voice enviously.

"Big sister was reluctant before, but now that she saw someone, she hurriedly changed her clothes and prepared to perform a dance."

"If I knew I wouldn't be required to sit so far away, I couldn't see clearly."

"Look at that." Someone pointed to a direction, and there was a beautiful girl in red clothes, "That's the younger sister of the Lord of Pingyang, and I heard that she is a warrior of the third rank of the Xiantian Realm."

Someone said in a strange tone, "With such a brother, her realm is a bit low..."

"Yeah, the same pair of parents are indeed a bit different compared to her elder brother."

"But she is lucky." The little girl who had been silent all this time raised her head from the food and looked at her older sisters. "Just because of her background, she is better than many people."

"That's right, she is the daughter of a direct relative of the City Lord's Mansion, unlike us..."

It's just Miss Tang.

The girls of the Sheng family all quieted down, looking at the next heir of the Sheng family on the high platform who was talking to the young master with his head down, with a respectful and almost devout expression.

But no one felt that he was servile, because the place where he was standing was an area that was out of reach of collateral.

The girls of the Sheng family were no longer in the mood for joking, their hearts seemed to be bitten by ants, making them sore and uncomfortable.

This is the way of the world, even in a world where the strong are respected, people are born different, and the starting point is naturally different.

……

On the other side, after Sheng Hongguang talked a few words with the city lord he admired, he remembered that he had thrown Xu Ziyan outside after being questioned by his father and uncle.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll go outside to take a look." He said this, then bowed and left, walked quickly to the door, and sure enough, he saw Xu Ziyan's figure.

Because the guests invited were not too many and they had already arrived, the city lord's mansion was very lively at the moment, except for the carriages parked at the door, it seemed a bit lonely.

It was also a little dark, but the lanterns lighting the entrance had already been hung up.

Sheng Hongguang walked to the door, raised his hand and patted Xu Ziyan who didn't know what he was thinking, "Cousin, why are you standing here?"

Xu Ziyan came back to his senses, "It's okay, I just got lost in thinking about something, what's wrong?"

"The banquet has begun, and uncle is looking for you." Sheng Hongguang said.

Xu Ziyan's scalp tightened, "Then let's go in quickly."

But don't delay his father's business, then after returning home, there will definitely be a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Ugh.

The future hope of the Xu family sighed, and followed Sheng Hongguang into the banquet hall. He wanted to go around from the aisle at the back to the front, but when he passed a certain table, Xu Ziyan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he caught a glimpse of a face by accident.

...the extra 700 taels of silver...the beloved sword became a pile of fragments under the slender and beautiful fingers of the masked man...

"You broke my sister's whip, so naturally you can't leave so easily."

Xu Ziyan still remembered the man who spoke, the terrifying eyes under the mask, and the deep and cold killing intent that made him unable to breathe.

For a moment, he almost thought that the man was going to kill him.

Sheng Hongguang walked a certain distance, and found his cousin standing behind, staring at one direction through gritted teeth.

Sheng Hongguang couldn't help frowning, and wanted to go up to call him, but saw his cousin walking quickly towards a table.

"Hey?"

Xu Ziyan grabbed the woman's shoulders and turned her around. Under the candle-like light, Xu Ziyan could easily see the face of the woman in red.

It's not that he was blinded by the wrong person.

"Sure, yes, you!" Xu Ziyan gritted his teeth and said every word.

With the sudden force, Xie Yunrou's thoughts almost stopped.

At this moment, the person holding her shoulder was pulled away by Sheng Hongguang who rushed over.

"Cousin, this is a guest invited by the City Lord's Mansion. What are you doing?"

Xu Ziyan was so angry that his dizzy head calmed down, "Guest?"

That's right, the person who can come in at this time and sit in such a front seat is definitely not as simple as sneaking in.

Sheng Hongguang let go of him, and seeing that he had calmed down, he stepped forward to apologize to Xie Yunrou.

"This is my cousin. He was a little emotional, which surprised Miss Xie."

"No need to introduce." Facing Xu Ziyan's angry gaze, Xie Yunrou smiled maliciously at him, "After all, I only met this young master Xu during the day."

She saw it when she got off the carriage, but for some reason the other party didn't notice her.

"Huh?" Sheng Hongguang was stunned for a moment, "Have you seen it?"

"Yes." Xie Yunrou said slowly, "Master Xu is amazing, he disabled my weapon with one move."

Xu Ziyan glared at her, as if about to say something, but Sheng Hongguang tightly covered his mouth. Sheng Hongguang smiled at Xie Yunrou embarrassedly, and then forcefully dragged Xu Ziyan away.

Because of the commotion caused here, it attracted the attention of the people around.

The owner of the Sheng family on the high platform frowned, and did not miss the movement. Seeing his son dragging his nephew away, he beckoned to his servants, "Go and call the young master and Xu young master over."

On the side, Patriarch Xu was toasting the young and handsome City Mistress of Pingyang from afar. During the conversation, he talked about his heir. Patriarch Xu spoke modestly about his son's cultivation on his staid face. He didn't even know that his son had already broken through disaster.

"...It's a pity that City Lord Xie doesn't accept disciples. If my son can be taught by you, City Lord Xie, he will be very lucky."

"Uncle, my cousin is here." Sheng Hongguang called out.

"Father, uncle." The future hope of the Xu family yelled after his cousin, his eyes inadvertently touched the strange face of the white-haired man in the seat above, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt cold.

I've clearly never seen it...why do you feel it's dangerous?

As he thought about it, he suddenly heard his father speak again.

"Thank you, City Master, this is what I just told you about my useless son." Although the old-fashioned Master Xu said so, his brows were a little proud.

"Oh?" The white-haired man in black chuckled lightly, "That's a coincidence, not long ago, the Lord of this city met Young Master Ling."

Patriarch Xu glanced at Xu Ziyan blankly. Xu Ziyan looked at those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and suddenly felt a tight feeling in his heart.

"Young Master Ling is very generous, I am ashamed of myself." Said the young and handsome master.
