The day passed quickly. Wang Xu and Master Mao got off the plane at 3:00 p.m., looking for a hotel and arranging luggage. They were so busy non-stop that it soon became dark. Even though Ning Feng and Xing Wuyang drove them off, they were still half dead from exhaustion.
William was directly thrown at the hotel by them to pay all kinds of bills. On the way, Xing Wuyang also asked them what happened to William. Be fooled. But Ning Feng was very clear in his heart that what these two did was either kidnapping or blackmailing, anyway, it was definitely not a good thing...
At seven o'clock that night, the two finally arrived at the door of Ning's house. The mansion in front of them can only be described in one sentence: I don't understand it.
Because what they saw was no longer a house, but a whole mountain.
"Is this all your home?" Wang Xu asked.
Ning Feng took it for granted, "Yes, what's wrong?"
For people like Wang Xu who used to be an otaku as their goal in life, it is hard to imagine why a family would live in such a big place. There are mountains and rivers, mansions everywhere, picturesque scenery, and complete facilities. It is a resort. I do believe it.
Master Mao didn’t seem to care. The Ning family was originally in the real estate industry, and their foundation in Suzhou was very solid. If you want to trace the history of this wealthy family, you can go back hundreds of years. Considering that they have many relatives, As well as housekeepers, servants, etc., such a battle is not surprising.
Walking along the driveway, the two of them had seen what it meant to be rich and powerful. They were surrounded by classic European-style villas, and a pure Chinese-style classical building popped up from time to time, which made people feel a sense of time and space confusion. There is no sense of incongruity in the matching of the beautiful mountains and rivers around, but it makes people feel that it has a special flavor.
While Wang Xu and Master Mao were imagining what kind of feast tonight's welcome banquet would be, the head of the Ning family, that is, Ning Feng's father Ning Tiande, had already set up a grand banquet for their arrival.
As for what he plans to do during this meal, no one knows, anyway, he has malicious intentions. Of course, he doesn't bother to do things like poisoning and laxatives, so he should just take advantage of the opportunity. There is such a thing as the ugliness of Wang Xu and Master Mao.
There is definitely a reason for doing this.
First of all, the Ning family has always played a pivotal role in the ghost hunting world in Suzhou. Talented people have always been born in large numbers in the past dynasties. When they meet people from the Ning family, they have to show some face. And the title of "Qianfeng", the highest person in charge of the city, is usually held by people from the Ning family. When it comes to this, the problem has surfaced.
Who is Shui Yingyao? The mysterious Shui family had fallen into ruin many years ago. Although Shui Yungu, a super genius, was born in recent years, his population is really small. It seems that it is difficult to make a comeback. Originally, she lived well in S City. After Fu Ding'an died, everyone thought that she was going to take over the position of "Master Cat". Who would have thought that she would suddenly go to Suzhou and make a big splash. It just so happened that her predecessor, Qianfeng, died at the same time. Yes, Shui Yingyao took over the position logically by relying on his unrivaled strength and achievements, and even became the new King of Chujiang a few days ago.
This series of events undoubtedly dimmed the aura of the Ning family a lot, so who is to blame? The answer is ready to come out - Lord Cat.
There are also several versions of rumors about the story about Master Mao and Shui Yingyao in the ghost hunting world. The most widely circulated version is the one that starts chaotically and ends up discarding. Glad to hear.
However, the rumors of the official version that is recognized as still have something to do with Fu Ding'an's incident, it seems that Shui Yingyao left angrily because Master Mao did not do enough justice.
Anyway, only those few people know the truth, and the others are just guessing in the cloud, but it is certain that the relationship between these two people can't figure it out.
In short, Shui Yingyao came to Suzhou to grab the job of Ning's family, and Master Mao should bear the main responsibility.
Another thing is that in the newcomer evaluation six years ago, Duan Fei, as the most outstanding ghost hunter among the younger generation of the Ning family, participated in the competition with an amazing ability far exceeding his peers. As a result, he met a Gu Chen, the little-known Ripper, suffered a crushing defeat in the end, but succeeded others instead.
All of this made Ning Tiande very dissatisfied with Master Mao, his colleague. As the patriarch, he has a burden on his shoulders, a burden on his mind, and pressure in his heart. It is necessary to vent his unhappiness properly. Yes, so... Hongmen Banquet.
When Wang Xu and Master Mao walked into the luxurious main house like a castle, they felt flattered by the magnificent and grand scene in front of them. The champagne tree was placed in the middle of the hall, and there were already many hunters from Suzhou. The Ghost Realm colleagues were present, usually in suits and ties, formal attire. Ning Feng didn't seem to like this kind of crowded occasion very much. Maybe it was because she knew what her father was planning, so she said goodbye and left soon.
The work of introducing Wang Xu and Master Cat was done by Xing Wuyang. The two of them greeted Ning Tiande not very politely. As if the face is not big enough.
Ning Tiande never thought that these two people would be so arrogant. Although he is not highly respected, he is still very senior, but he was not taken seriously by them at all. It seems that it is impossible not to teach them a lesson today up.
According to the plan, the first step is to make a fuss about the attire of these two people. In fact, Ning Tiande made the dinner so grand, and specially asked the guests to wear formal clothes, just to make Wang Xu and Master Cat more conspicuous. .
The two of them who came here from the airport must not have the time to change into formal clothes, so they will definitely be tricked, but Ning Tiande ignored one point, no matter what they do, the two of them will be very conspicuous...
After the two very "casual" guys greeted each other, they rushed to the table impatiently, using champagne as mouthwash and lobster as chewing gum.
In fact, they didn't mean to be disrespectful to the patriarch, they just went to eat as soon as they entered the room, and they were still very grateful to this old Ning who treats guests for free...
These two gobbled it up like this, completely disregarding their image, and it was difficult not to attract attention. Seeing them so unrestrained, other ghost hunters felt that their behavior was too gentle. Originally, everyone usually fights and kills Yes, what kind of high society are you pretending to be
Therefore, the problem of dressing is not a problem at all, and the unscrupulous behavior of Wang Xu and Master Mao completely covered up this small matter...
The corners of Ning Tiande's mouth twitched twice, deciding to implement the second step of the plan...
The jingling sound of the spoon hitting the wine glass attracted everyone's attention. Ning Tiande stood in the middle of the hall and said, "Everyone, thank you very much for coming to the humble house today..."
There are only a few polite words, but you still have to say, even if your house is more luxuriously decorated than the Queen's house, you still have to say that humble house...
While everyone was listening to these nonsense, the sounds of Wang Xu and Master Mao eating in a hurry continued to be heard. Careful friends could notice that the veins on Ning Tiande's head were trembling very powerfully...
Finally, his words got to the point: "Today's banquet is mainly to welcome two comrades from S City. I believe everyone has heard of these two. Guiguzi Wang Xu is the champion of the rookie evaluation."
His words really didn't arouse much reaction... because these two people have long been the focus, and those who don't know them will know if they talk to the people next to them.
"These two are young and promising masters in the ghost hunting world. It can be said that the future is limitless. Such achievements at such a young age really make me feel ashamed in the ghost hunting world in Suzhou." On the opposite side of the entire ghost hunting world in Suzhou, it can be described as quite sophisticated.
Having said that, I saw Wang Xu rushed up and strangled the cat's neck with a strange cry, and the other hand tightly clasped the cat's wrist. On that wrist... was holding a chicken leg covered in caviar...
"I've been stuck for a long time, how can I let you succeed..." Wang Xu blushed, obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
"Because you are so naive...you let me pick up ready-made ones..." Master Cat was trying to put the chicken leg into his mouth...
The two of them fell to the ground and changed positions again...
"Lao Ning is introducing you... now is not the time to eat... don't put on airs... go and say hello to everyone..."
"How can I hear him introducing you... the new champion of the rookie evaluation... now is not the time to fight me for chicken legs... hurry up and go..."
What should I say about the atmosphere in the audience at this time... I should be really ashamed...
Breathing the air of this world with two people like this is enough to make people feel ashamed...
