In the palace and imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Director Jie of the Ren family has sent an invitation." When the emperor was reviewing the memorial, he did not like to be disturbed by others. Only the director of the inner palace could choose the priority of the matter and come to report it. Because it involves the heads of the five major families, this person Manager An, who had been following the emperor for more than twenty years and was already in his fifties but still looked like he was in his twenties, came in and spoke softly.
"Read it." The emperor didn't even raise his head or even think about it.
"Tonight, the head of the Ren family accepts a disciple and invites His Majesty to come and bear witness." After Master An read these words, which were very casual and just like speaking, he was a little bit dumbfounded. He looked up and found that the emperor had stopped reviewing the memorial and looked up at him.
Manager An said helplessly: "Your Majesty, that's what I said."
"Is he the only one who accepts a disciple?" The emperor found it extremely funny. He himself was still studying at the Jade Emperor Academy. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon become the first direct descendant of the Ren family to repeat a grade. He still had the nerve to accept a disciple. So much fanfare.
"The person who sent the message was Tong Qiang. After sending the invitation to the palace, he went to the Wen family, Gao family, and Fang family to deliver the message." Manager An was nearly fifty years old, but his skin was tender and his meat was even. The eyebrows are taken care of extremely carefully. He, the chief eunuch, is extremely powerful in the palace and is considered the number one figure in Jade City. However, in front of the emperor, he will always be the little eunuch he was back then. He is cautious at all times and does not say much. He only says what needs to be said. Easily do not mix personal thoughts and feelings.
"Interesting..." The emperor seemed to be tired of reviewing the memorials, so he stood up and walked around. Manager An immediately served tea with the right temperature.
"Pass the decree that Li Yan, the son of King Anyang, is ordered to go to the Ren family on behalf of the Li family today to witness the head of the Ren family accepting disciples." The emperor walked around with a smile on his lips, as if he had thought of something very proud and happy, and then sat down Continue to review the memorial below.
"Yes." Manager An agreed softly, took a few steps back, pushed to the door, and then turned around and walked out. After leaving the Imperial Study Room, General Manager An ordered someone to deliver the edict to Li Yan. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. Chief An's slender, beautifully manicured fingers gently moved a strand of hair that seemed to hang casually, and a smile appeared on his face. His Majesty actually asked Li Yan, who had just been beaten violently by Zhan Tianlong and the others in the Golden Palace, to Ren family, this is very meaningful.
It is not convenient for His Majesty to say anything directly in the Jinluan Palace, but this is definitely an obvious signal. His Majesty takes this opportunity to tell everyone that Li Yan is of royal blood after all, and the Emperor already has other ideas about the Ren family. Although it is not convenient to say it directly, this can be regarded as a test move by His Majesty, and it will soon trigger a turmoil in the entire Mingyu Dynasty.
As for the invitation made by Ren Jie, Manager An knew that no one paid attention to it, because this was not the first time. As early as a year ago, Ren Jie, who had just taken over as the head of the family, wanted to imitate his father and hold a banquet for the head of the family. You must know that even the emperor will personally attend the banquet hosted by Ren Tianxing, and he will remember it as the Li family. As for the banquet that Ren Jie held for the first time, he invited the heads of the five major families, but it turned out that the major families only sent their children. What's more, this time they only gave short notice now. He thought that the heads of the five major families were as idle as him. .
"It's ridiculous. There's no such thing as a banquet in the evening, and the invitations are only being sent out now. Forget it, Zihao, please go there." Wen Yong looked at this ridiculous invitation and really didn't know what to say.
"Haha... Okay, I'm also curious about what kind of apprentice he can accept. It must be very interesting for a person in the physical training realm to accept an apprentice." Wen Zihao agreed happily. For him, as long as he is not locked up at home to study, he can Just happy.
In the Gao family, Gao Zhanyuan took the invitation and threw it aside.
"Hmph, who does he think he is? He really thinks that just because he is the head of the Ren family, he is really the head of the family." Because of Gao Peng's incident, Gao Zhanyuan already hated Ren Jie to his core, so he simply ignored it this time.
"Go, why don't you go. Of course I want to repay the humiliation Ren Jie gave me a hundred times or a thousand times, but how could I, Gao Peng, not dare to face such a playboy like him because of that incident? Moreover, he has been acting abnormally recently. The Fang family is pushing all the major families to help, and actions are also being taken against the Ren family. At this time, we need to see what Ren Jie can do, and I also want to see if he is a real playboy or pretending to be crazy and acting stupid." Gao Peng said, walking over. Picked up the invitation that Gao Zhanyuan had thrown away.
Seeing Gao Zhanyuan looking at him worriedly, Gao Peng smiled calmly and confidently and nodded slightly.
When Tong Qiang finally sent the invitation to Fang's house, the sky had begun to darken. Fang Tianen almost cursed after reading the invitation because he had to leave immediately. What the hell is this invitation? He thought he was the emperor and that this was an imperial edict.
Naturally, Fang Tianen would not rush there in person, and Fang Qi could not go out yet. He was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the other children wherever they were, so in the end he urgently notified Fang Yan to rush there on behalf of the Fang family.
Above the Ren family meeting hall
"What, the heads of the other five major families were invited, why didn't we know?"
"It's tonight, are you kidding me?"
"Taking a disciple, he...he must be crazy."
"Isn't this an embarrassment to the Ren family? What happened in the court this morning was all because of him. Now many affiliated forces of the Ren family are unstable. We are now trying to find ways to appease these families. It would be better for him."
Ren Junyang, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Wenxu made a fuss as soon as they heard about it. Today's events have already caused a lot of confusion, although those who are more powerful, like Zhan Tianlong, who follow the Ren family, did not react at all. But the events of the morning court, coupled with the news about the Fang family's third broadcast that added fuel to the flames, still worried many other vassal forces. Today, people kept coming to visit several elders, wanting to know what was going on.
They were busy from morning to night, but someone here informed them that people from the Wen family had come to the banquet, and people from other families had come to the banquet. Only then did they know that Ren Jie wanted to accept a disciple.
The greatest absurdity in the world is the biggest joke. If you accept a disciple of a person who is in the physical training realm, and invite other families to witness, isn't this a joke for others
Although he really didn't want to see Ren Jie, Ren Junyang immediately took Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu to Ren Jie's residence.
"Zhan Sihai, the leader of the War Horse Gang in Yujing City, has arrived."
"The president of the Jade Capital City Miraculous Medicine Association, the top miraculous herbalist Huang Yun, has arrived."
"Lei Shi, the leader of Thunder Hall in Yujing City, has arrived."
When Ren Junyang and the other three elders arrived at Ren Jie's residence, they discovered that Ren Jie had invited not only people from the five major families, but also everyone from the gangs in Yunjing City. Although these gang leaders are usually very powerful people, in the eyes of Ren Junyang and other elders, these people are just reckless people. If they can control their work and still invite them, how can the dignified head of the Ren family invite them.
"Stop." Just as Ren Junyang and the three of them were about to go in, they were stopped by Tong Qiang who was guarding outside.
"Insolent, Tong Qiang, you are getting more and more insolent now. You dare to stop anyone." Ren Hanlin immediately became angry when he saw that Tong Qiang dared to stop them.
"According to the order of the head of the family, no one is allowed to enter without an invitation. If the elders want to go in, please take out your invitations." Tong Qiang's bald head still looked bright even in the dark with the help of moonlight and lights. Unmoved by the three elders, they stayed there without moving.
"Invitation? What a joke..." Ren Wenxu pointed angrily at the gang members who were entering: "This is the Ren family's mansion. A bunch of reckless gang members can get in. We are the Ren family elders. If we need any invitations, please give them to us immediately." Elder, get out of the way.”
Ren Wenxu was really angry at this moment, and he raised his hand to take action. After all, he was the elder of the Ren family, and his strength was much stronger than Tong Qiang.
"Form up." Seeing that Ren Wenxu was about to charge, Tong Qiang ordered without hesitation. The next moment, more than 60 members of the Guards rushed out and directly surrounded the three elders. They have formed a formation, and their eyes are filled with murderous intent, just like a volcano about to erupt.
After this period of special training, not only have they regained their former selves, but everyone has improved. One of them even broke through to the magical realm. The number of other True Qi realms also increased a lot, and they were now arranged in a large formation. Even the three elders Ren Junyang, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Wenxu, all of whom were in the Divine Power realm, were shocked by this aura.
"Tong Qiang, do you know what you are doing?" Ren Junyang's eyes were about to burst into flames and his voice was extremely low.
Tong Qiang did not answer him, because he did not need to give any explanation to Ren Junyang. He only needed to obey the order of the family leader. However, his attitude was very clear. If Ren Junyang, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Wenxu just took one step forward, they would Will take action.
Ren Hanlin was so angry that his hands were trembling. A small captain dared to order three elders to be attacked.
"I will call people immediately to capture them all." Ren Wenxu quickly communicated with Ren Junyang and Ren Hanlin through his spiritual consciousness, and was ready to notify the internal guards of the Ren family.
"No!" Ren Junyang said in a deep voice: "A lot of people have come now. If the commotion continues like this, it will really make the current turbulent situation outside even more unstable. This kind of thing must not happen before the elders' meeting. Moreover, this is the residence of the family owner after all..."
Ren Junyang also felt that they were too impatient at this moment, because after all, this is where the head of the house lives. If they let people catch the head of the house's guards, it would really start an internal fight.
"Let Ren Jie come to see us and let him explain..." Ren Hanlin stopped mid-sentence, because after several previous incidents, it was obvious that Ren Jie would not tolerate them at all.
"Let's go and see how far he can go. It's really embarrassing for the Ren family." Ren Junyang once again felt that he and others had tried their best, but the director of the playboy family, Jie, wanted to embarrass himself and cause trouble. He didn't think it was right now. If it's not chaotic enough, the Ren family isn't in trouble enough, and the people you're embarrassing aren't big enough, then just let him cause trouble.
It's getting more and more outrageous. Well, let's wait until the elders' meeting to fully understand everything. He is no longer worthy of being the head of the Ren family.
After communicating through his spiritual consciousness, Ren Junyang angrily left with Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu. It wasn't long before the elders' meeting, and he didn't want to give Ren Jie anything to talk about. Since he didn't seize the opportunity given to him, forget it.
At this time, in the main hall of Ren Jie's mansion, all the leaders of the ten major gangs in Yujing City have arrived. On the other side of them is Li Yan, who was almost carried up, followed by Gao Peng, Fang Yan and others. Wen Zihao and the others.
At this moment, Li Yan could barely sit up with the help of his servants. He was beaten to death in the morning, and even though he took a lot of medicine, he still didn't recover for a while. Unexpectedly, he received an imperial edict again in the evening. However, Li Yan's body was in terrible pain now, but he was happy in his heart. Ren Jie, and others, your good days are over.
Fang Yan and Gao Peng looked at the people from the top ten gangs sitting across from them strangely. Those people looked at them very cautiously and would nod respectfully if their eyes met.
The ten major gangs are also very powerful in Yujing City, and they all have some power behind them, but they absolutely dare not confront the five major families head-on. Some of them are even controlled by the five major families. It's just that they are no better than the other four major families, so Ren Jie doesn't dare not come when he invites them.
