C1931 A Coincidental Encounter
Although Jiong Yuan praised Ye Hongtian's disguise, Ye Hongtian didn't give him a good look. Instead, he urged him gloomily.
Jiong Yuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw Ye Hongtian's attitude. He was a little unhappy.
However, just as Ye Hongtian had said, the lunch of the Sky Fire Family was about to begin. Jiong Yuan's residence wasn't far from the Sky Fire Family, so it was just enough time.
"Follow me. Remember to pack the bottle I gave you earlier. Otherwise, Fourth Elder might look down on this gift."
With that said, Jiong Yuan pushed open the door and walked out. As soon as he walked out, he noticed that the entrance of the mansion seemed to be a little crowded. He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. Then, he turned pale with fright.
"Why are you standing at the door? Hurry up. If you're late, you'll leave a bad impression on others."
Seeing that Jiong Yuan was blocking the door, Ye Hongtian joked and pushed him hard.
Jiong Yuan was woken up by Ye Hongtian's push. Without saying anything, he grabbed one of Ye Hongtian's arms and jumped onto the roof with Ye Hongtian. With his fastest speed, he jumped between several roofs and left his mansion.
After moving about one mile, Jiong Yuan stopped. He looked back in the direction of his mansion and couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Beside him, Ye Hongtian wasn't used to being pulled by Jiong Yuan. He shook his sore arm and looked at Jiong Yuan in confusion.
"What are you doing? He was still standing at the door and did not move at all. Now he suddenly became so anxious. Was the reflection too long? " Ye Hong Tian asked.
"You may not understand the situation just now, but you must know that I saved you... Otherwise, you might not be going to the clan's banquet right now, but to the clan to marry my second sister." Jiong Yuan grabbed Ye Hongtian's shoulder with both hands and said very seriously.
Ye Hongtian scratched his head with his hands. He did not understand what had happened to make Jiong Yuan react like this. However, Ye Hongtian did not look like he was joking when he said this.
"Really? So it was so dangerous just now. Haha." Ye Hong Tian laughed dryly and replied.
"Let's go, let's go. If we don't leave now, we will really be late."
Jiong Yuan knew that Ye Hongtian might not believe him, so he did not dwell on this issue.
The two of them stepped on the roofs of all kinds of buildings in Sky Fire City and rushed towards the Sky Fire Family in the shortest possible way.
When the two of them landed in front of the gate of the Sky Fire Family, a slightly fat warrior with sparse hair was also preparing to enter the Sky Fire Family.
The fat warrior turned his head to look at Ye Hongtian and Jiong Yuan. When he looked at Ye Hongtian, he had a puzzled look on his face. He did not understand why a martial artist of the fourth level of the Awakening Realm would come to the Sky Fire Family.
However, when he saw Jiong Yuan beside Ye Hongtian, the puzzled look on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced by a flattering smile.
"Oh, isn't this the young master? I didn't expect that the eldest young master, who has always been punctual, would be late for the family banquet today and that I would be able to meet the eldest young master so coincidentally. Perhaps this is fate! " The fat warrior bowed slightly and said to Jiong Yuan.
Jiong Yuan, who didn't notice the fat warrior, looked over. At first, he didn't seem to recognize the fat warrior. Then, his eyes widened when he saw the few strands of hair on the fat warrior's head.
"Ahem, I didn't expect Fourth Elder to be late for the family banquet. But Fourth Elder's words made me a little numb. If the elder was a young lady... I might be very happy. " Jiong Yuan coughed twice and said.
These two coughs were like a signal to Ye Hongtian. When Jiong Yuan talked about the Fourth Elder, Ye Hongtian's eyes were fixed on the slightly fat warrior in front of him.
Ye Hongtian didn't care about the Fourth Elder's appearance. At this time, he was using his perception to confirm the Fourth Elder's strength.
However, what surprised him was that his usually sharp perception seemed to have lost its effectiveness at this moment. If Ye Hongtian closed his eyes to sense, he wouldn't be able to sense the Fourth Elder in front of him.
Ordinary perception wasn't enough. Ye Hongtian used his soul power to sense, but the result was basically the same. Ye Hongtian couldn't help but feel that the assassination of the Fourth Elder had become troublesome.
While Ye Hongtian was thinking about whether he should make more preparations to attack the Fourth Elder, Jiong Yuan and the Fourth Elder seemed to have finished their conversation. The two of them bowed to each other and prepared to enter the Heavenly Fire Family.
Jiong Yuan saw Ye Hongtian standing still and poked Ye Hongtian with his elbow. Ye Hongtian came back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiong Yuan asked in puzzlement.
"Nothing. I just feel that the task of assassinating Fourth Elder might be a little tricky. This guy gives me a strong feeling." Ye Hongtian looked at Fourth Elder's back and said.1
Jiong Yuan did not comment on Ye Hongtian's words. He did not say anything and led Ye Hongtian into the Heavenly Fire Family.
The Heavenly Fire Family probably had a bigger residence than Jiong Yuan's. However, the materials used to build the buildings weren't as luxurious as the ones in Jiong Yuan's residence. It had to be said that Jiong Yuan was highly valued in the Heavenly Fire Family.
As they followed behind Jiong Yuan in the Sky Fire Family, although many people were surprised that Ye Hongtian, a martial artist of the fourth level of the Awakening Realm, participated in the family's lunch, no one asked this question in person.
As the young master of the Heavenly Fire Family, Jiong Yuan had to greet the elders of the family out of courtesy. Ye Hongtian followed Jiong Yuan all the way with his head lowered in a very respectful manner. He looked very much like a servant.
After Jiong Yuan greeted his uncle, second uncle, third aunt and fourth aunt, he finally had some free time.
In the courtyard filled with tables, Ye Hongtian and Jiong Yuan sat down at a table in a corner.
Ye Hongtian had been following Jiong Yuan as a servant all the way. Although he was a little aggrieved, he wasn't very tired.
On the other hand, Jiong Yuan greeted the elders of his clan and then greeted them. Although it wasn't physical work, he was so tired that he wanted to find a bed to lie on.
"As the young master of the Heavenly Fire Family, is it really good for you to sit in this position?" Ye Hongtian looked around the courtyard and asked.
"Of course not. I am just resting here for a while. When the lunch officially starts, as the young master of the family, I will sit with my father. Sigh. " Jiong Yuan rolled his eyes and replied.
" Judging from your tone, is it very torturous to agree with your father? " Ye Hongtian asked like a curious baby.
After Ye Hongtian asked this, Jiong Yuan stood up as if he had been injected with stimulants. He picked up a fork from the table and held it tightly in his hand. He said fiercely, "You weren't born in a big family. Naturally, you wouldn't understand how torturous it was."
"Many important members of the family that father values will be gathered at the table that father is at."
"He will tell me all the strengths and weaknesses of my family like a promotional product!"
"Later, if there is a girl that he likes, he will not listen to her and tell her about the embarrassing things that happened when I was young!"
"Every time the clan holds a banquet, I wish I could press my father's head into the boiling single-horned horsewhip soup!"
