Chapter 93 You came here by yourself.
"What a load of crap! A beggar at the second level of Qi Refining dares to come here for a banquet!"
Do they think the Zhang family is a charity?
As he spoke, one of the lackeys, barely suppressing his disgust, tried to push Jun Xiaoyao away.
However, as soon as he touched the clothes, Jun Xiaoyao collapsed to the ground with a thud.
A heart-wrenching scream!
"Murder! Murder!"
In broad daylight, under the clear sky, they dared to lay a hand on a beggar!
Is there no law anymore?! Is there no justice left?!
The screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and many people gathered around out of curiosity.
At this moment, the young master of the Lan family looked extremely unpleasant.
He never expected that the beggar in front of him would dare to do such a thing!
This is the Zhang family patriarch's succession ceremony. If the Zhang family is disturbed, the consequences will be something the Lan family cannot afford.
Although the Lan family had the intention of siding with the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, they had secretly taken over a considerable portion of the Zhang family's first-grade high-quality blue silver mine under the prompting of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect's envoys over the years.
However, the Lan family is ultimately only a Foundation Establishment power. Before the Azure Sea Immortal Sect formally accepts them, breaking ties with the Zhang family would be tantamount to courting death.
"You filthy beggar! When did I ever say I was going to kill you!"
Get the hell out of here! This isn't a place for you!
Lan Mingyang's face was ashen, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He vowed to tear this beggar in front of him to pieces after the banquet!
However, Jun Xiaoyao seemed oblivious to the murderous intent in Lan Mingyang's eyes, and continued speaking to himself:
Why can't I go in?
The Zhang family never said they lacked the ability or that those who weren't doing well couldn't get in!
What right do you have to stop me!
Upon hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, the onlookers burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, this kid is interesting. He's only at the second level of Qi Refining, yet he dares to speak to Young Master Lan like that."
"It's only because it's the Zhang family that this hothead is in trouble; otherwise, he would have been beheaded long ago."
"He couldn't even grasp the difference in strength, yet he dared to go against Lan Mingyang. What an idiot! No wonder he's ended up so miserable! A beggar! Hahaha!"
……
Listening to the praise from others, Lan Mingyang slowly walked up to Jun Xiaoyao, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:
"Kid! I'll remember you!"
You are lucky; today is the Zhang family patriarch's succession ceremony, and bloodshed is not appropriate!
He can live for two more days.
He glanced around randomly and shouted:
"Tell me why I should stop you! That's a good question!"
Everyone here, whether you have connections or are just a rogue cultivator, has brought gifts for the Zhang family. But you, a beggar, come empty-handed and expect to freeload. Is that fair to us?
This is my reason for stopping you!
Upon hearing Lan Mingyang's words, the Golden Core disciples who had come felt bored and turned back to the Reception Hall.
Given their status, they wouldn't stoop to arguing with a beggar.
Although the disciples of the various Foundation Establishment factions didn't care much, they didn't leave, preferring to watch the spectacle.
However, some Qi-refining forces and independent cultivators lack that magnanimity, especially the independent cultivators.
They all had to pay a gift to have a chance to enter the welcoming hall, so why shouldn't he have to?
Just because he's a beggar?
This is so unfair!
So they all began to voice their condemnation of Jun Xiaoyao.
Seeing this, Lan Mingyang's lips curled up slightly; his goal had been achieved.
What no one noticed was that Jun Xiaoyao, standing behind Lan Mingyang, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and then used his methods to take out the first mid-grade first-level spiritual herb from the other party's storage bag and stuff it into his pocket without anyone noticing.
I was just worried about not having a congratulatory gift.
You came here by yourself, so don't blame me.
Just then, Zhang Xuanchen, now dressed in a lighter, dark brocade robe embroidered with the Xuanxiao Mountain motif, arrived at the welcoming hall.
Zhang Hongzhan and the nine elders, who had changed their clothes, followed behind him.
Further down the line are outstanding young members of the Zhang family.
This highlights the young man's current status and also demonstrates the Zhang family's strength to various powerful forces.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao surrounded and mocked by the crowd, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"What happened?"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible authority.
I never expected that this would happen when the Zhang family was only gone for a short while.
Today is his succession ceremony, and these people openly drove away the guests who came to the banquet. How is this any different from slapping him in the face?
Upon seeing Zhang Xuanchen's arrival, everyone present bowed in greeting.
"We pay our respects to Chief Zhang!"
Although they had received the news long ago, they were still shocked when they saw Zhang Hongzhan, whom they had visited before, standing behind Zhang Xuanchen.
A mere young boy actually became the patriarch of the Zhang clan.
It seems they'll have to offer plenty of gifts to curry favor with the new clan leader.
Everyone has different thoughts.
But Zhang Xuanchen didn't care and said:
"No need for formalities. Why are you all standing at the door surrounding a young man when none of you are in the hall?"
Has he offended anyone?
If so, then please give this clan chief some face and let this young man go, okay?
Let's not let such a small matter spoil your mood for attending the ceremony, shall we?
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, everyone felt a pang of guilt and exchanged glances, clearly not expecting the Zhang family members to return at this time.
For a moment, I was filled with regret.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun.
So everyone turned their attention to Lan Mingyang, the meaning of which was quite clear.
You started this, so you should talk about it.
Lan Mingyang's gaze instinctively turned towards the direction of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect.
"snort!"
The elder snorted coldly, and a powerful pressure surged down on the opponent like a tidal wave.
Lan Mingyang knelt on the ground with a thud, unable to move under the oppressive force.
Zhang Xuanchen naturally noticed Lan Mingyang's gaze and sneered inwardly. It seemed that the family's affiliated forces were starting to act up again.
After the ceremony, the relevant departments should be established.
Looking at the kneeling young master of the Lan family, Zhang Xuanchen slowly spoke:
"If I remember correctly, you are a member of the Lan family, right?"
What if they cause trouble at the succession ceremony?
"Do you have a problem with our clan chief?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Mingyang felt a chill run down his spine.
Like prey being stalked by a fierce tiger, its body trembled incessantly.
I was sweating profusely.
He didn't understand why the boy in front of him could evoke this feeling in him.
But now is clearly not the time to think about these things.
He quickly said, "Clan Chief Zhang, you've misunderstood."
I was also trying to uphold the Zhang family's authority.
Moreover, we all came with gifts, while this beggar was penniless and came empty-handed to freeload, clearly trying to take advantage of us.
The Zhang family members weren't there, so they took it upon themselves to try and drive the beggar away.
There was really no trouble. We urge Clan Chief Zhang to verify this.
The meaning of these words is very clear: everything I did was for the Zhang family, and everyone had given a congratulatory gift before entering the welcoming hall.
This beggar has no money; it would be unfair to them if he were allowed in.
Hearing Lan Mingyang's words, Xu Haolong felt secretly pleased.
These were the words he transmitted to the other party.
This was all to set a trap for Zhang Xuanchen.
If Zhang Xuanchen sided with Lan Mingyang and kicked the beggar out,
With a little maneuvering, the Azure Sea Immortal Sect could damage the Zhang family's reputation, branding them as looking down on lower-level cultivators.
If you side with the beggar, you'll offend even more people.
The Lan family is now a subordinate force of the Zhang family. If the Zhang family punishes Lan Mingyang for the sake of a beggar, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among other forces.
Ha ha.
Zhang Xuanchen, Zhang Xuanchen, aren't you so capable?
Let's see what you decide this time!
