406 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
"Murong Du, how can you talk to your brother-in-law like this? Please be careful."
A middle-aged man next to him who looked somewhat similar to Murong Bo scolded him, but his voice was not harsh at all, and seemed to be a bit indulgent.
Li Fan knew in his heart that although this man seemed to be scolding, he was actually indulging. And this person named Murong Du should be a cousin of Murong Ying.
"Excuse me for being rude, I just can't bear to see someone acting so recklessly in our Murong family!"
Murong Bo had a strong body, a dignified appearance, and his words were full of vigor, which was colder and biting than the cold wind outside the window.
"You are just a parasite that lives off the breath of the Murong family. What qualifications do you have to sit there?"
Murong Du pointed at Li Fan's nose and sneered viciously, "You only deserve to stand next to me, you know?"
If it were normal for someone to talk like this at the New Year dinner, Murong Bo would definitely not be happy. But today, Murong Bo did not say a word.
Murong Ying frowned. She originally planned to reprimand this unruly cousin, but Li Fan smiled and raised his hand to Murong Du, "This is cousin Murong Du, right?"
"Yes, but you can also call me by my name?"
Murong Du said arrogantly, "You only deserve to call me Sir! Parasite!"
"Okay, sir, I'm just curious as to why I haven't heard of your name in the world."
Li Fan asked, "I am not talented. I have been wandering around the world and only got the humble name of 'Little Overlord'. But a powerful person like Lord Murongdu must have some name, right? Tell me and let me listen. I will be respectful." "
“…”
Murong Du choked, where did he get his name? There was no such name in the world. As for Li Fan, no matter what, his title as the Little Overlord is quite resounding!
"Brother-in-law, how did you repel Yin Wuchao, the master of Golden Eagle Castle, last time? Can you tell me?"
Murong Ai said with a smile, "I really like hearing my brother-in-law talk about this matter."
"Even if I narrowly win a few moves, Lord Yin just let me do it. It's not worth mentioning."
Li Fan said very humbly.
"By the way, I wonder how many tricks you can do with Lord Yin, cousin?"
Murong Ai asked again, "Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing... I forgot that Lord Yin is also a big shot of the generation, and he doesn't bother to fight with his cousin."
"you… "
Murong Du blushed and said, "I just don't have a chance to fight with Yin Wuchao! This old guy is just a deceitful person! Leave it to me, I'll beat him to the ground with one strike!"
"It sounds amazing. My cousin has such a powerful mouth."
Murong Ai gave a thumbs up with a look of admiration on his face.
"Li Fan, if you have the guts, take two moves right now! I'll let you know what a martial artist of the Murong family is!"
"I'm sorry, cousin, but the rules of a martial artist are not to use martial arts during the year."
However, Li Fan declined the invitation from the evil dragon Murong Du.
"I think you are just a coward and don't dare to challenge me!"
Murong Du immediately mocked.
"Whatever my cousin says, that's what it is."
Li Fan didn't seem angry. In order to resist his inner demons, he could still control his small emotions.
"waste!"
Murong Du sneered, but Murong Bo patted the table and finally closed his mouth.
"You young people always like to be competitive. You are young and angry, I understand."
Murong Bo said slowly, "There is an opportunity for you to show your passion."
Li Fan pricked up his ears, as if he had something to announce.
"Everyone in the Murong family should know this tradition. It's a commonplace."
Murong Bo said with a smile, "The Eight Immortals crossing the sea this year will depend on the abilities of the young people."
"The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea? What is that?"
Li Fan directly transmitted the message into the secret and asked his fiancée who was sitting next to Murong Bo.
"You'll know then."
Murong Ying also sent a message back, "A very boring program."
"Come on, my children, eat the dumplings and the rest of the time is yours."
After Murong Bo finished speaking, Murong Du's father spoke.
"Master, this year's Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is not suitable for the Young Master to come forward, right?"
"Yes, she is already this powerful. Isn't it too unfair to let her participate?"
"If Xiao Ai wants to participate, you can still participate. For Sakura, forget it."
A group of people murmured, but Murong Ying sneered.
"These cousins of mine don't even dare to compete for a woman?"
Her words made many people blush, but some were also thick-skinned.
"You can't say that, after all, you are strong."
"You should give way to the brothers. If a girl comes from a house that is too powerful, she will end up getting married."
"That's right, leave the opportunity to your brothers."
These people were chattering, and Li Fan couldn't stand it. Murong Ying also frowned, obviously holding back her anger.
"Madam, why do you need to come forward for this kind of thing?"
Li Fan said with a smile, "Leave it to me."
"You alone want to replace Murong... replace the Young Patriarch?"
Murong Du sneered, but Li Fan said, "After all, I am her fiancé. I am not as strong as her, so brothers, you have to give in to me."
"Coward!"
There were many snorts, but Li Fan just raised his glass and drank at them.
"In that case, let Li Fan replace my eldest daughter."
Murong Bo responded, "In this case, you guys don't have any objections, right?"
Everyone was naturally happy and no one objected. If Murong Ying participates, then the championship this time will undoubtedly be hers!
After eating dumplings that were not very satisfying, Li Fan followed everyone to a lake outside.
This lake is not small, at least a thousand meters in diameter. In the center of the lake, there is a small pavilion with a firecracker attached to it. This firecracker is quite big and I don’t know what kind of beautiful fireworks it can set off.
On this side of the lake, Li Fan and a group of young people from the Murong family stood. Each man held a torch in his hand, which was their only source of fire.
The only foothold on the lake is some floating duckweeds, which are still green, as if it is summer. Li Fan heard from Murong Ai that the bottom of the lake was mechanically heated and it was a warm water lake all year round.
Therefore, in winter, not only does the lake not freeze, but the plants in the lake are evergreen!
Murong Bo sat on a specially built throne and pointed at the small pavilion in the lake opposite, "See, this is your goal. Let's wait and see who will be the first this year."
"The champion will be mine!"
Murong Du pointed at himself and then at Li Fan, "You, be careful about your legs!"
