"Di Yi, don't you think it would be embarrassing for me to go to the Ye family empty-handed? After all, this is my first visit." China is a country of etiquette. It was my first time to visit the Ye family, so I should bring something with me.
"You're not going on a blind date, so why are you making so much trouble?" Di Yi said casually while holding the Longyin Sword and closing his eyes.
"It would be embarrassing not to bring anything if you go there for the first time! This is not a matter of blind date or not, but out of courtesy." Wang Yikai agreed with Liu Xun's point of view and spoke up.
"That's right, but what do you think I should give? As for money, aristocratic families have no shortage of it." Liu Xun frowned. Giving gifts is also a very particular thing, and there are many considerations involved.
"The aristocratic family has everything. After all, they control the economic lifeline of a country! They are in need of ancient warriors. How about you give them Di Yi? But are you willing to do so?" Wang Yikai chuckled and joked.
"Just buy something. It's just a matter of face. It's okay!" After Liu Xun said this, he parked the car in front of a supermarket, got out of the car, bought a few gift boxes, and continued to rush towards Wang's house.
The traffic jam in the capital was very serious. Liu Xun left at eight o'clock in the morning, but he hadn't reached Ye's house in three hours. However, it was only a few miles away, just a blink of an eye! But at this moment, Liu Xun discovered a very important problem.
"Oh no, I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to bring my cell phone." Liu Xun touched his pocket and his face changed slightly. Di Yi and Wang Yikai also frowned when they heard this.
"You can't go back without it. It's rush hour now and the traffic is even worse! You can only hope that no important person calls you today." Di Yi said. He was right. Liu Xun definitely couldn't go back now.
"Alas, the capital is good in every way except for the terrible traffic jams. No wonder so many rich people have private jets." Liu Xun sighed. Now he had personally experienced the tragedy of a traffic jam.
Arriving at Ye's house, Liu Xun looked at the huge ancient courtyard in front of him and was amazed. He said, "This courtyard is now bigger than a football field. It can be sold for a lot of money, right? It must be more valuable than the Haotai Hotel in S City!"
"... "Wang Yikai shook his head secretly after hearing this. Emperor Yi looked at Liu Xun with disdain and retorted: "This courtyard is currently a priceless treasure. Because they are the property of the aristocratic family, even the country has no power to demolish them."
When Liu Xun and his two companions reached the gate of the compound, two members of the Ye family's side branch stopped them and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"It was your eldest lady who invited us here." Wang Yikai glanced at the two of them and said with a smile.
"Name, I'll go confirm it." Upon hearing that they were guests invited by Ye Huiling, the two side branches did not dare to be careless, but they could not let Liu Xun and the other two in privately. They could only ask for Liu Xun's name and go to confirm it.
"Liu Xun." Liu Xun said softly as he looked around the ancient courtyard. Although these two members of the Ye family's side branches thought highly of themselves, Liu Xun had never looked at them straight in the eye since he got off the car.
"Okay, you guys stand here and wait for a while." A member of the side branch gave another member of the side branch a look, meaning that he should look at Liu Xun and the others, and he also ran towards the courtyard.
About three minutes later, the collateral clan member also walked to the front door, but his expression was still condescending. He looked at Liu Xun and said, "Okay, you guys go in."
"Oh, thank you." Liu Xun said, and the three of them walked towards the courtyard. When the three of them walked away, the Ye family branch also said to another person: "I really don't know why the eldest lady invited these secular people."
"Who knows? But it's better for us to stay out of the eldest lady's affairs and pretend that we didn't see anything." Another member of the side branch shook his head and said, and the two of them stopped talking.
Walking into the living room, Ye Huiling and Ye Tian were the only ones sitting there. When she saw Liu Xun and the other two, Ye Huiling stood up and said with a smile, "You guys are here?"
"Uh, just arrived." Liu Xun looked a little embarrassed. Di Yi just looked at the layout of the living room curiously. Wang Yikai remained silent and observed the expressions of Ye Huiling and Ye Tian.
Compared to Ye Huiling, Ye Tian was not at all surprised by Liu Xun's arrival. Obviously Ye Huiling had also told him about it, but Ye Tian still didn't like Liu Xun very much and didn't even stand up.
However, it was Di Yi's outfit today that made Ye Tian frown slightly, because Di Yi was carrying the Dragon Roar Sword today, although it was wrapped in sackcloth, but how could an ordinary person run around carrying such a thing
Ye Yuming and Ye Hongbo heard the voice and came to the living room. Like Ye Tian, they didn't think much of Liu Xun, but when they saw Di Yi, their eyes flashed with brilliance.
"After lunch, let's go to Zhang's house together." Ye Hongbo said softly. It was obvious that Ye Huiling had asked for their opinions before taking Liu Xun with her, and they did not object.
The food was no different from that of an ordinary family. The whole dinner was very ordinary for Liu Xun and Wang Yikai! However, Ye Hongbo talked to Di Yi for a few words during the dinner, and Di Yi just responded casually.
Although it was just a few words, Liu Xun also suspected that Ye Hongbo had already seen through Di Yi's identity, but only Di Yi knew that it was impossible for him to sense his breath, it was just a guess!
The dinner was over at 12:15 in the afternoon, and the Ye family was preparing to head to the Zhang family. Compared to other families, the Ye family had very few direct descendants, so there were more than a dozen side branches following them.
Ye Huiling told Liu Xun a few things that needed attention, and also boarded the Ye family's car. Although Ye Hongbo invited Di Yi to go with him, Di Yi refused.
Liu Xun, Di Yi and Wang Yikai were still sitting in their own cars.
"Why do I feel that, apart from Di Yi, we are so unwelcome?" Liu Xun said casually as he started the car.
"We can't do anything about it, the levels are different! After all, Di Yi is an ancient warrior. We are just trash with a combat power of only 5. It's a blessing that the Ye family is willing to take us there. Big Brother Liu Xun, we should be grateful." Wang Yikai said jokingly. Obviously, the two of them didn't take the Ye family's attitude to heart.
An hour later, they arrived at Zhang's house. At this time, there were already many cars parked in front of the gate of the Zhang family compound. Ye Huiling and other people from the Ye family had already entered, but just when Liu Xun and the other two were about to follow in, the guard stopped them.
"Why do you three look so unfamiliar to me?" A member of the Zhang family's side branch was in a bad mood at the moment. It was conceivable that no one would be in a good mood in an occasion like today, where he could only guard the door.
"We are guests of the Ye family." Wang Yikai had already cursed these side branches of the family for a long time. You said these people are not the direct descendants, but just a side branch, and you still look down on them so much. (To be continued)
