Tang family's mansion, front yard.
Dressed in white, the young man with handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention at this moment.
"Master Donghuang, Miss Zixi, please."
Tang Liunian, the head of the Tang family, bowed to greet Zhou Donghuang and Yang Zixi, and personally led the way to the east of the front yard, where the main table of the banquet hosted by the Tang family today was.
In full view of everyone, Tang Liunian respectfully placed the young man at the head table.
As for that position, even the three elders from the three top aristocratic families who came to King Chu City today did not sit up, but only sat at the bottom.
Seeing this scene, many people from wealthy and powerful families present couldn't help but exclaimed, "Even if the prince from Prince Chu's residence comes in person, the treatment will not be more than this, right?"
at the same time.
To the west of the front yard of the Tang family's mansion, in front of a round table.
"Master Yang, your Yang family has a golden phoenix..."
A fat middle-aged man in rich clothes was sitting at the table. He squinted his small eyes and looked at another middle-aged man sitting across the table and said with a smile.
This middle-aged man known as the 'Yang Family Head' is none other than Yang Yunji, the head of the wealthy Yang family.
He is also Yang Zixi’s uncle.
However, although the fat middle-aged man was smiling and talking to Yang Yunji, his small eyes on his fat face were full of gloating.
The Yang family has indeed produced a golden phoenix.
However, that golden phoenix was pushed out of the door by Yang Yunji, the head of the Yang family!
As the middle-aged fat man spoke, several other people at the same table looked a little weird when their eyes fell on Yang Yunji, and they were more gloating about his misfortune.
As heads of lower-class wealthy families, if possible, they naturally don't want anyone among them to suddenly rise up and overwhelm them.
Sensing the gazes of the people at the same table, Yang Yunji's face remained as gloomy as water even though he deliberately restrained his emotions.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Yunji turned a deaf ear to the middle-aged fat man's words, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the main table to the east.
A beautiful girl who looked like the person in the painting was sitting next to the boy. Even Tang Liunian, the head of the Tang family, the powerful family he needed to look up to, was respectful when facing her.
"If I had not expelled Zi Xi from the Yang family, if Zi Xi was still in the Yang family at this moment..."
Thinking of this, Yang Yunji sighed deeply in his heart, and his whole person seemed to have become several years older in this moment.
A few months ago, for his own benefit and the benefit of the family, he indirectly killed his own brother, and then expelled his niece from the Yang family.
Later, the boy next to his niece forcefully broke into the Shi family, injured Shi Ji, the old head of the Shi family, and killed Shi Hao, the head of the Shi family. He was majestic and arrogant.
At that time, he regretted it.
Later, the Shi family was angry with him due to the death of the head of the family, Shi Hao, and stopped supporting their Yang family, which caused their Yang family to be knocked back to their original shape.
At that moment, he felt even more remorseful.
After doing such a thing and paying such a high price, in the end, it was all in vain!
…
"Great Elder, is he the young man beside Yang Zixi that Jiapei said, Zhou Donghuang?"
Tian Xing, the director of the Ren family, withdrew his shocked gaze, looked at Ren Qiong, the eldest elder of the Ren family, and asked in a low voice.
Back then, his daughter had told him that this young man broke into the Shi family and not only defeated the old head of the Shi family, Shi Ji, but also killed the head of the Shi family, Shi Hao.
However, he didn't believe it at all,
After all, it is impossible for a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, even a disciple of Yaowang Valley, to have that level of strength.
However, today, after seeing the scene in front of him and remembering what his daughter Ren Jiapei said to him, he vaguely realized that it might not be nonsense.
"It's him."
At this time, Ren Qiong, the eldest elder of the Ren family, finally came to his senses, and a bitter smile twitched at the corner of his mouth at the right time, "I met him once before they left our Ren family."
"Looking back now, the eldest lady reminded me at that time, saying that I would regret driving them away..."
"At that time, I just thought the eldest lady was being alarmist, but now it seems that what she said was not nonsense."
But now, Ren Qiong did regret it.
If he hadn't driven the boy and girl away from the Ren family, even if the boy hadn't joined the Ren family, his help to the Ren family would have been immeasurable.
"That girl also reminded me, but I didn't take it seriously."
Ren Tianxing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He knew in his heart that after today, there would be many people fawning over the young man in front of him.
In front of some of those people, he, the head of the Ren family, a moderately wealthy family, was nothing at all.
…
"Now it can be confirmed that the benefactor the Tang family hosted a banquet today to thank is this Zhou Donghuang."
Shi Yan, the second master of the Shi family, said to Shi Yu, the eldest master of the Shi family, with a solemn expression: "It seems that he is really a ninth-level Qi gathering martial arts monk!"
Although Zhou Donghuang defeated his father, the previous head of the Shi family, Shi Ji, that day.
However, after that incident, they were not sure that Zhou Donghuang must be a ninth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monk, and felt that Zhou Donghuang might also be a leader among the eighth-level Qi Gathering martial arts monks.
But today, after realizing that Zhou Donghuang was the savior of the three Tang family members from the ninth-level Qi-gathering monster, the Vigorous Bear, Shi Yan could almost conclude:
This Zhou Donghuang is a martial arts monk at the ninth level of Qi Gathering.
"Ninth Level Qi Gathering Martial Arts Monk..."
The corners of Shi Yu's mouth were full of bitterness.
Although, no matter whether Zhou Donghuang is an eighth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk or a ninth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk, the Shi family cannot avenge him for killing his father.
However, now that he knew that Zhou Donghuang was a martial arts monk at the ninth level of Qi Gathering, he undoubtedly felt a little more desperate.
"Who is he?"
"How can a person who came from a small place have such a level of cultivation at this age?"
Shi Yu's eyes flashed with surprise and uncertainty, "When the people I sent to Yunfeng County come back, we will know whether he is a native of Yunfeng County... If he really has no background, considering his position in this There is definitely a big secret in his achievements at his age!”
"Perhaps...he accidentally obtained some treasure that gave him such strength at this age."
"Martial arts monks in the Xiantian realm should not be able to leave behind such treasures... However, the legendary martial arts masters who have entered the realm of Yuandan may not be able to leave behind such treasures!"
Thinking of this, Shi Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Of course, even if he has such a treasure in his hand, I, and even the Shi family, will not be able to snatch it away."
"You can only kill with a borrowed knife!"
"In any case, the Shi family and I are destined to be unable to obtain the treasure in his hand. In that case, why not help him publicize it after confirming that he has the treasure in his hand?"
"Presumably, the Prince of Chu's Palace, and even the Royal Family of Yunyang Kingdom, will definitely be interested in the treasure in his hand!"
As soon as he thought of this, Shi Yu's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
Shi Yu has never let go of his revenge for killing his father, so a few months ago, he had sent people to Yunfeng County, a lower-level county, to find out the details of the young man.
…
In the front yard of the Tang family's mansion, the main table is on the east side.
"Three elders, this Young Master Donghuang saved my benefactor by killing the powerful bear in the Lost Forest more than ten days ago."
Soon after the young man sat down, Tang Liunian opened his mouth to introduce the young man to the three old people at the same table.
After the words fell, his eyes flashed, and he added, "Young Master Donghuang, alone, one by one, one punch to kill the powerful bear in its heyday!"
If anything, Tang Liunian's previous words had already surprised the three old people.
After all, joining forces with Tang Liunian and the others to drive back the powerful bear, and killing the powerful bear are completely different concepts.
Then, what Tang Liunian said later made the three old men's bodies tremble. They looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Alone, face to face, and kill the powerful bear in its heyday with one punch
Just this boy
When the three old people were shocked and inexplicable by this, Tang Liunian introduced them to the young man.
The third elder of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Zhen.
The second elder of the Liu family, Liu Xuyang.
The fourth elder of the Lu family, Lu Zhongan.
The Ouyang family, the Liu family and the Lu family are the three most powerful families in the Chu King's City and under the Chu King's Mansion, and are the three top noble families.
The three old men were all Qi-gathering ninth-level martial arts monks whose strength was not weaker than that of Tang Liunian.
"Master Tang, are you telling the truth?"
Ouyang Zhen, the third elder of the Ouyang family, was the first to come to his senses and asked with a solemn expression.
The other two old men looked at the young man with bewildered expressions, obviously also doubting Tang Liunian's words.
"Master!"
Suddenly, an anxious exclamation suddenly sounded at the entrance to the front yard. The sound was so loud that it drowned out the noise in the front yard and attracted everyone's attention.
"Afu?"
Upon hearing this urgent and familiar voice, Zhou Donghuang, who was sitting at the table with a calm expression, changed his expression slightly and stood up from his seat in an instant.
Ah Fu, if he hadn't encountered something important, he wouldn't have come here to look for him, let alone be so rude.
"Young Master Donghuang."
When Zhou Donghuang saw Ah Fu, he found that there was another person beside him, it was Lu Qinghu, the head of the Lu family, a prominent family in Yunfeng County, a lower-class county.
However, Lu Qinghu now is not only dusty, but also injured.
"what happened?!"
Zhou Donghuang's face changed. Four months ago, he asked Ah Fu to find a messenger at the post station and ride a sweaty BMW to deliver the message to Lu Qinghu. It was precisely Lu Qinghu who asked Lu Qinghu to personally send his mother Lin Lan and his sister Yun Lu to Chu. Empire.
But now, seeing Lu Qinghu injured, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
Plop!
Lu Qinghu knelt on the ground and said with a guilty look on his face: "Young Master Donghuang, it was my fault that I failed to protect my wife and Miss Yunlu... They were kidnapped!!"
