Chapter 148: Attending the Banquet (Part 1)

  Ye Chen walked slowly towards the City Lord's Manor, and on the way, he bought whatever good things he saw, after all, Ye Chen now had a storage ring, which made it much more convenient to carry things.

  Before long, Ye Chen walked to a place not far from the gate of the city master's mansion, looking at several guards standing at the door, and walked past with a smile.

  "How bold!"

  Ye Chen's foot had just lifted off the ground when a loud rebuke came from behind, and two slaves hastily ran to Ye Chen's front.

  Ye Chen looked at the two people who suddenly blocked his way, furrowed his brow and said: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

  At this time, a young man with a fat face, holding a charming woman in his arms, walked to Ye Chen's front. He looked up and down at Ye Chen, then turned his head and smiled slightly at the woman in his arms, saying: "Nü'er, is it him?"

  The charming woman glanced at Ye Chen with disdain, then turned to the fat man with a seductive expression and said: "Young Master Wang, it's him! I just fell in love with a pair of bangles, but unfortunately, I didn't bring enough money. I was going to go back and get some more, who knew that by the time I came back, he had already bought them!"

  Ye Chen listened to the woman's words and suddenly understood, then smiled slightly and ignored the two people in front of him, walking directly towards the city lord's mansion. After all, it was already late, and if he delayed any further, he would probably keep others waiting.

  However, Ye Chen didn't want to stir up trouble, but that doesn't mean others didn't want to stir up trouble!

  "Hey, stop right there! Did I say you could leave?" The fat youth glared at Ye Chen, who had walked directly past him. Feeling his face was completely gone, he hastily turned around his stout body and roared at Ye Chen.

  The two slaves beside him also hastily moved to either side of Ye Chen and added him in the middle. They seemed to be ready to take action!

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow and glanced at the two people beside him before saying in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

  The fat young man listened to Ye Chen's words, stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, looking at Ye Chen with disdain, saying: "You're trying to intimidate me? Haha, kidding! You don't even know who I am!"

  The two slaves beside him also burst out laughing.

  "You stinky brat! Don't you even listen? Our young master's influence in Blue Rain City is not to be underestimated!"

  "And I'm not afraid to tell you, do you know Lord Blue Bamboo of Shao City? He's actually our young master's sworn brother!"

  "Ah!" Ye Chen burst out laughing. Immediately, he turned around and looked at him, the fat young man jokingly said: "Then aren't you very powerful in Blue Rain City? Shouldn't I be kowtowing to apologize to you now? Shouldn't I be begging for your mercy?"

  The fat young man laughed and said: "Good to know! Now hand over the things, and knock three times on your head. Maybe Grandpa can let you off easy! Haha!"

  "Grandfather!" As soon as Ye Chen heard the two words "grandfather", his face turned gloomy, and he became even more sullen. For Ye Chen, his parents and grandfather were the people he respected the most. The person in front of him actually dared to call himself "grandfather" in front of Ye Chen, which was simply provoking Ye Chen.

  "Looking for death!"

  Ye Chen fiercely said a sentence, the momentum in his body directly broke out, and the two guards who were originally surrounding him were directly blown up by Ye Chen. Before they even landed, they exploded to death in mid-air!

  The blood of the two slaves fell directly from the sky. Like a bloody rain, it slowly fell from the sky, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

  The passersby around suddenly stopped in their tracks, turned their heads and stared blankly at Ye Chen's side, then subconsciously took a few steps back...

  The guards at the entrance of the castle also saw what happened here, and when they saw that the person standing in the crowd was Ye Chen, their faces were stunned, and cold sweat couldn't help but flow down. For these people who had participated in the Lava Valley incident, Ye Chen was simply a devil to them, but at the same time, he was also an idol in their hearts!

  "Hurry up and go inform the city master that something has happened! Hurry up, don't you know Lord Ye's temper?"

  "Yes!"

  One of the guards immediately ran into the house with a look of urgency, while the others exchanged glances, unwilling but fearful and trembling as they walked away...

  The fat youth looked at Ye Chen, who had killed his two guards without even making a move, and his face instantly turned into an expression of shock. He stared blankly at Ye Chen, who was standing there with a ferocious look on his face, unable to speak for a long time.

  The woman in his arms was almost paralyzed in the young man's arms, and if the young man were to release her at this moment, there would be no doubt that she would fall directly to the ground.

  In the grand hall of the castle, the banquet tables were arranged on both sides, and in the center, where there was usually only one seat, another had been added. One of the seats was already occupied by a person, who was none other than Blue Rain City's Lord Blue Crazy Wind!

  On both sides of the banquet, there were already people sitting full, without a single empty seat. The three brothers of the Qun family were also among them, but they didn't sit under Lán Kuángfēng's hand, instead sat in the lower position of that empty seat.

  "Master Blue City, everyone has arrived. I don't know when we will begin!" An elderly man sitting in the lower seat furrowed his brow slightly and stood up to give a respectful bow to Blue Crazy Wind.

  "That's right!"

  "It's true, we've been waiting for so long!"

  "I don't even know who I'm waiting for!"

  "Shh, don't speak! Don't you see that the position next to the city master is empty? Whoever he's waiting for, his status is probably the same as the city master!"

  "Right! Right!"

  As the old man's words fell, the people below began to whisper to each other.

  Lan Kuangfeng looked at the people below whispering to each other, his brow furrowed, but he didn't blame them. After all, he had specifically told Ye Chen yesterday not to be late, and Ye Chen's tardiness was clearly a bit disrespectful!

  "What are you talking about!" Qun Wei's face turned red with anger, standing up and shouting at the people below. To him, Ye Chen was his benefactor, and he absolutely would not allow others to slander Ye Chen like this.

  A loud roar from Qun Wei frightened everyone, and they all immediately stopped talking, looking at Qun Wei with fearful faces. After all, these people were just ordinary merchants, even if they were a bit more powerful, it was only because of their wealth, and they couldn't compare to cultivators like them.

  The three men also hastily stood up, glaring at the crowd.

  Lan Kuangfeng looked at the appearance of his brothers from the same sect and frowned tightly, saying in a deep voice: "You all sit down first!"

  The three brothers of the Qun family looked at Lan Kuangfeng and spoke up, then coldly snorted at everyone and sat down directly.

  Lan Kuangfeng looked at the three brothers of the Qun family and thought to himself: Why are these three brothers from the Qun family helping Ye Chen so much?

  "Lord of the castle, something's wrong! Ye Gongzi is having a dispute with someone outside!"

  A guard rushed in from outside and shouted at Lan Kuangfeng in front of many people.

  "What?" Before Lan Kuangfeng could speak, Qun Wei stood up and turned to the two people beside him, saying: "Follow me out, I want to see who has such a big nerve!"

  Immediately, the three guards didn't even give Blue Crazy Wind a chance to react and directly stood up, furiously walking towards the outside.

  Lan Kuangfeng looked at the attitudes of the three people, frowned, and immediately stood up, with a dissatisfied expression, saying to the rest: "You all come out and take a look too!"

  Immediately, under the leadership of Basket Crazy Wind, a group of people walked directly outside...
