71: C71 The Birthday Feast

C71 The Birthday Feast

He walked around and saw bamboo forests all over City Lord Mansion.

No matter if it was bamboo, purple bamboo, or rare black bamboo, they were all growing in large numbers. When the bamboo leaves fell with the wind, it was as if they were filled with artistic conception.

"It seems like this City Lord really likes bamboo. When I came to the Linghai Giant City, I saw some bamboo forests outside the city. Were these all specially planted by the City Lord Mansion?"

Chu Yun asked as he walked.

"Yes. "

Shopkeeper Yang nodded. It was not a secret in the city that the city lord liked bamboo.

He paused for a moment and joked, "However, if we don't take the Spirit Gathering Jade and bring some bamboo to the city lord to celebrate his birthday, we will definitely be chased out by the guards. "

Chu Yun couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at Shopkeeper Yang. He had long thought that Shopkeeper Yang was a very humorous person. The seriousness on Shopkeeper Yang's face was just a disguise.

The banquet was held in front of a bamboo forest in the middle of City Lord Mansion. There was a wide square there, surrounded by bamboo forests and a man-made lake. The scenery was very beautiful.

Because there were too many people attending the banquet in City Lord Mansion, it was impossible for a large hall to accommodate so many guests. If the guests couldn't see the City Lord in such an occasion, then it wouldn't be appropriate. Therefore, City Lord Mansion decided to hold a banquet outside this spacious room.

"Great Shopkeeper of Elemental River Pavilion has arrived!"

Chu Yun and Shopkeeper Yang walked into the banquet hall with a few servants of the Elemental River Pavilion.

Immediately, the people who were chatting turned their heads and looked in Chu Yun's direction.

Ever since Chu Yun, the new Great Shopkeeper of Elemental River Pavilion, came to Linghai Giant City, this was the first time he had appeared in public. For those who wanted to know him, this was naturally an opportunity that couldn't be missed.

The first to greet him was a middle-aged man in a purple robe. He had a reserved smile on his face. Although he had been smiling the whole time, Chu Yun could clearly feel his alienation and pride.

This person was the City Lord's son, Qin Shuangyan.

"General Qin, nice to meet you. "

When Chu Yun heard Shopkeeper Yang introduce Qin Shuangyan to him, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

The reason he called Qin Shuangyan General Qin was because he was the one in charge of military power and guardian's duties as a border guard in City Lord Mansion. The Celestial Secret Dynasty gave Qin Shuangyan the rank of general.

"Boss Chu, it's better to meet you when I hear your name. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are truly young and capable. "

Qin Shuangyan said politely. He only took a few glances at Chu Yun and then looked away. He made a gesture to invite Chu Yun to come in. He did not say anything else.

Although Qin Shuangyan was the son of the city lord, he wasn't a young man anymore. He might be older than Chu Yun's father. After all, the city lord was already a hundred years old. Qin Shuangyan's son should be about the same age as Chu Yun. Therefore, Qin Shuangyan naturally didn't need to do that. He had spent too much time and effort on a young man like Chu Yun.

Chu Yun understood Qin Shuangyan. He nodded and brought Shopkeeper Yang into the venue. Under the guidance of the female servants of City Lord Mansion, they arrived at a spacious seat. This place was specially reserved for the Elemental River Pavilion in City Lord Mansion.

From the arrangement of the seats, it could be seen how the City Lord Mansion treated the various major powers of Linghai Giant City.

The closer one got to the center of the venue, the more important it represented. Without a doubt, the Elemental River Pavilion was in the first row. Although the Elemental River Pavilion was located near the edge, it was still in the first row.

There were very few seats that could stand side by side with the Elemental River Pavilion. Only the Yuheng Pavilion, the Lingyuan Pavilion, and the major families of the Sun Family, the Wang Family, and the Liu Family were placed in the first row.

As soon as Chu Yun sat down, a beautiful figure walked towards him, accompanied by a fragrant wind.

"Little brother, I have finally met you. "

He heard a soft sound that pierced through his bones. Chu Yun saw a beautiful woman standing beside him. She was looking at him with her beautiful eyes.

Shopkeeper Yang quietly moved closer and was about to introduce this woman to Chu Yun, but she interrupted him with a smile.

"Can you guess my identity?"

She blinked at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun carefully observed her. She called him little brother. She was indeed a little older than Chu Yun. Although it was hard to tell this from her young and beautiful appearance, from her temperament, she was definitely a mature woman who had been through the battlefield for a long time and was proficient in the ways of the world.

"Although I don't know your name, I think you must be a disciple of Yuheng Sect, right?"

Chu Yun replied calmly.

She paused for a moment, and the smile in her eyes became bigger and bigger as she said: "How did you know?"

Chu Yun replied, "I saw it through your legs and footwork. "

The Yuheng Sect specialized in leg techniques, and they were famous for their Shadow-Controlling Track. Those who practiced this kind of martial arts would have a distinct difference in the shape and muscle of their legs compared to other martial artists. While the three major sects were fighting the Devil Heart Sect, Chu Yun caught a glimpse of some disciples of the Yuheng Sect. He discovered their common characteristic.

"I haven't practiced the skills of the Yuheng Sect for a long time. I didn't expect to be seen by others. This is enough to show how solid my basic skills were back then. "

The girl smiled and didn't forget to praise herself. After that, she winked at Chu Yun and said, "Little junior brother of the Elemental River Sect. Have you been staring at my legs?"

Chu Yun was speechless for a moment. It was difficult for him to resist such direct teasing. He had never experienced it before.

"Junior Sister Hongyue, he is a young man. He cannot take your joke. You should restrain yourself. " At this time, another person walked over. It was a middle-aged man with a long beard and a wine pot in his hand. As he walked over, he picked up the wine pot and poured large mouthfuls of wine into his mouth.

Shopkeeper Yang couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly moved forward and said to Chu Yun, "These two are Great Shopkeeper and Zhu Hongyue from the Yuheng Pavilion, and Great Shopkeeper and Zhang Shaoyuan from the Lingyuan Pavilion. "

"I understand. "

Chu Yun nodded. The only person who could speak to him while he was talking to the manager of Yuheng Pavilion was the manager of the Lingyuan Pavilion, one of the three major sects.

Before Chu Yun came here, Shopkeeper Yang had told him about the power structure of Linghai Giant City. Compared to the local martial families like Sun Family and Wang Family, the three major sects were outsiders, and it was normal for the locals to fight outsiders together.

In order to fight for the right to speak with the local families, the three major sects had the same tacit understanding. As long as there were no intense conflicts, the three major sects would stand on the same side.

Therefore, the two people in front of them, Zhu Hongyue of Yuheng Pavilion and Zhang Shaoyuan of Lingyuan Pavilion, were the allies of Elemental River Pavilion.

"It wasn't easy for me to meet such a cute junior brother. If I didn't tease him a little more, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Zhu Hongyue glanced at Zhang Shaoyuan and rolled her eyes.

"It is precisely because it is rare to see someone like Junior Brother Chu that I dare not let you scare him away. " Zhang Shaoyuan drank another mouthful of wine and burped. He cupped his hands to Chu Yun and said, "Junior Brother Chu, let's get to know each other. What's my name?"

The corner of Chu Yun's mouth twitched a little. He looked at Zhang Shaoyuan's body that reeked of alcohol. His shirt was completely wet from the overflowing wine at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior Zhang, how much wine did you drink?"

"As long as he is awake, he will continue drinking. When he is drunk, he will sleep. When he wakes up, he will drink. I don't know how much he drank. "

Zhu Hongyue's expression did not change. She looked at Chu Yun and said, "Little junior brother, we will ignore him. Two days ago, did you really find a member of the Lee Clan who escaped? It has been almost a week. How did you find them?"

"I found them based on the clues. "

Chu Yun explained briefly and said, "I predict that Lee Clan has been in Linghai Giant City for many years. They will not retreat easily. They will definitely leave some traces behind. As long as we find these traces, we will be able to find them. "

These words were easy to say, but it was very difficult to do. Zhu Hongyue smiled and nodded. She seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. She said, "In the past, Elemental River Pavilion was not easy to get along with. Lee Feng was greedy. Now that he had joined Demonic Sect and died, it was a good ending for him. I believe that the Elemental River Pavilion will certainly shine with a different kind of brilliance under your leadership in the future. I'm looking forward to it. "

"I'm looking forward to the closer cooperation between the Yuheng Pavilion and the Lingyuan Pavilion. After all, we're all from the three major sects. "

Chu Yun could tell that she wanted to form an alliance, so he gave her an affirmative answer.

"That's good. "

At this moment, Zhang Shaoyuan burped and added.2

The overall situation had been decided. After today, they would have some limited cooperation. When facing the families in Linghai Giant City, they would stand on the same side and pursue each other's interests to the greatest extent.

When Lee Feng was the Great Shopkeeper of Elemental River Pavilion, they had such a tacit understanding, but according to Zhu Hongyue's words, their cooperation should not be much.

And now, Chu Yun was in charge of Elemental River Pavilion. Lingyuan Pavilion and Yuheng Pavilion both felt that this was a turning point for the three major sects to become closer to each other. They felt that Chu Yun was a better partner than Lee Feng.

While Great Shopkeeper of the three major sects was talking, on the other side, the representatives of the local powers of Linghai Giant City - Sun Family, Wang Family, Liu Family, and Zuo's - gathered together and sized up the three of them.

"Cooperatives. "

The patriarch of Wang Family, Wang Zhihong, shook his head and said.

The patriarchs of the other families had cold expressions on their faces. They had a clear stand.

There was only one person, the patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Shaoyang. He looked at Chu Yun with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
