C196 Our Xu Family Is by No Means a Rogue
Facing Hsu Qingxiong's sneer, I could probably guess that he investigated the matter of me at Ning Mansion after that night. He definitely predicted that I would appear on this trip, if not, Hsu Qingxiong would not let out this kind of sneer that seemed to have a purpose.
Thus, I raised my face into a smile and used a silent smile to counterattack. Following his previous appearance, I threw out a contemptuous look.
Under my gaze, Hsu Qingxiong seemed to recall a memory from that night. His smile froze, and gradually he gritted his teeth as his face turned red. It was as if the events of that night were too deep for him to bear.
At this moment, Hsu Kun intentionally or unintentionally looked at me. It seemed like it was an accident and no one would be able to notice it, but as someone who was being watched, I clearly noticed that the moment Hsu Kun shot his gaze over, his pupils contracted.
But soon, Hsu Kun shifted his gaze and continued to lead us.
Hsu Qingxiong, on the other hand, was unable to calm down. He gritted his teeth as if he wanted to tear me into eight pieces.
Similarly, Hsu Qingxiong wasn't the only one watching me. As we walked around the venue, there were also Soong Shaocheng and Wang Guorong. From the looks of it, these two were standing together at some point, like brothers in distress.
There were also those who were full of suspicion … Soong Hai!
However, no matter how others looked at me, I still followed behind NIng Yuefeng and walked forward leisurely. I didn't take them seriously at all.
Arriving at one of the seats, he happened to be opposite of the Song and Song families. Separated by a distance of a few meters, Second Master directly sat cross-legged, picked up the noodles and started to gobble down the food.
Not only that, Second Master also shouted: "Your Xu Family is so petty, why are you only getting this little thing? Where's the wine? Where's the wine? "
NIng Yuefeng's expression changed on the spot as he became embarrassed. With a bitter smile, he turned to look at Hsu Kun and said: "Brother Xu, this brother of mine, originally had such a personality. You have been in the Earth Board for so many years, I believe you understand."
Although it sounded very apologetic, I immediately understood the meaning behind NIng Yuefeng's words. I didn't ask for Hsu Kun's forgiveness, but hinted at him to be unruly. You, Hsu Kun, don't bother with this matter, it's none of your business.
My smile grew wider, and more and more I understood that the reason NIng Yuefeng was able to sit as Palace Chief of Ning Mansion was not because he lacked any intelligence or charisma.
However, the smile on Hsu Kun's face did not change at all. Instead, he extended his hand, made a gesture of invitation and smiled: "No harm, no harm, let's go up again after the wine. Please take your seat now, this is my Xu Family, Ning Mansion Master, there is no need to be restrained."
Hearing this, I squinted my eyes, Hsu Kun was not a simple person either, the smile on his face made his eyes narrow, like an old cunning fox, the meaning in his words, was simply that you guys can do whatever you want with your Ning Mansion, but don't forget, this is my, Hsu Kun's Xu Family's, territory, so I, Hsu Kun, have the final say.
NIng Yuefeng did not immediately take his seat, but looked around and said in wonder: "Today is the annual meeting of the four great clans, and Brother Xu will personally preside over it. I hope that this year's Xu Family will have more Pride, and I wonder if the competition's topic has been decided?"
"When the various forces and Three Great Families come, the main assembly will officially begin. I will personally announce the year's competition's topic, so Ning Mansion Master need not be anxious." Hsu Kun laughed.
Suddenly, Hsu Qingxiong, who was standing behind me and staring at me, who was gritting his teeth, changed his expression involuntarily. He gradually revealed a smile and his eyes narrowed into slits. He looked exactly the same as Hsu Kun.
My expression didn't change, my entire person was light and relaxed, ignoring Hsu Qingxiong, directly treating him as transparent. It made him slightly startled, then he stopped smiling, as though he was in a bad mood.
Just at this moment, Hsu Kun first looked at Ning Zhenhua, then looked at me. He pretended to be unaware as he asked. "You won't introduce him to me?"
"This is my grandnephew, Ning Zhenhua. I believe Brother Xu has also heard of his name." NIng Yuefeng turned around, looked at Ning Zhenhua and made an introduction.
Hsu Kun's smile became even wider, and an expression of praise surfaced on his old face as he laughed: "So this is the famous genius investor in Ning Mansion, Ning Zhenhua, you are indeed a genius."
"Elder Xu, I dare not accept your words." Ning Zhenhua quickly cupped his fist.
Hsu Kun laughed it off, then locked his gaze onto my face, and asked as if he didn't know anything: "Then Ning Mansion Master, who is this? Why haven't I seen it before? "
However, Second Master suddenly spat out a grape seed and stood up. He put his arm around my shoulders and looked in the direction of the Song Family, shouting, "Hsu Kun, you don't even know him? You don't have to play dumb, okay? Don't you know about your youngest son, Hsu Qingxiong? "
Saying that, Second Master patted my chest, deliberately raising his head, with a very proud expression, "That's right, he's the one who won against your youngest son that day, Koo Liangsheng! Our Ning Mansion's Grandson-in-law. "
Once those words were said, the other powers present were all startled and looked at each other in dismay.
"It's him?"
"He is Koo Liangsheng?"
"Ning Mansion's Grandson-in-law? So it turned out that he was someone from the Ning Mansion! No wonder you are so arrogant! "
As if he had just recognized Second Master's appearance, Hsu Qingxiong's face turned black instantly. He couldn't help but clench his fist.
In the end, he smiled and praised: "Oh, so you're Koo Liangsheng. Your Ning Mansion is indeed powerful, there is actually such a person in the younger generation, I just wonder, in this year's Four Great Families, what rank would this Pride obtain?"
I can assure you that in the younger generation, no one is his match, even if it's my disciple Ning Zhenbang, he will still not be his match. The reason is very simple, Ning Zhenbang is the genius that our Ning Mansion has been hiding for many years, but today, I do not mind bringing him out for you guys to see, but I have taught him all my skills, and before ten rounds, I will not be able to win against him. " Second Master teased me while praising me.
Taking advantage of this, I made an ashamed expression and said, "I'm ashamed …."
In the blink of an eye, those from the various powers all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Is that Ning Zhenbang's master? The number one expert of Ning Mansion, Ning Yuesoong, Second Master Ning? "
"This Second Master Ning was an existence at the 80 level of Heavenly Ranking back then. Even though he is old now, he still occupies the second position of Earth Board and his strength can be said to be formidable."
"Also, Second Master Ning said that he taught all his skills to Koo Liangsheng, and he still can't win in more than ten rounds? This... "How powerful is this Koo Liangsheng?"
Only in the midst of this shocked discussion, Hsu Kun frowned for the first time. He was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Tell me, Qingxiong …" Breach out? This is impossible, our Xu Family is definitely not such a rogue person, our Xu Family is absolutely not someone who can't afford to lose. "
With that, Hsu Kun looked back at Hsu Qingxiong as if he still didn't know that Hsu Qingxiong had reneged on his promise.
Looking over, Hsu Qingxiong's face instantly changed...
Seeing Hsu Qingxiong's expression, Hsu Kun immediately understood what was going on. It was as if he knew about Hsu Qingxiong, but he seemed to have deliberately hidden the fact that Hsu Qingxiong was reneging on his debt. He glared at him. "Look at what you've done!"
Even the Patriarch of Wang Family, Wang Lin, who was on the other side, asked Wang Guorong curiously, "Guorong, is this for real?"
"Yes, yes, yes …" It's true, it's Brother Xiong's fault that we were not allowed to spread it, and even intentionally sealed this point, tricking Xu Family Master into saying that it was just fighting for wealth, but not gambling, that's none of my business. " Wang Guorong immediately became terrified and didn't dare to say anything. He was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head as he stuttered.
Deceiving his teammates, this was definitely deceiving his teammates.
Wang Guorong's actions angered Wu Tie to the point that he almost jumped up and cursed out loud. It was a complete disgrace to his maternal grandma.
However, even though everyone heard the truth, no one dared to interrupt. After all, these were the Four Great Clans, and ordinary powers could not compare to them.
Moreover, ten billion was not a small number at all. No matter what kind of force it was, ten billion was still an astronomical number. Who would dare to casually interfere with something like that?
At that moment, Hsu Kun's expression had completely changed. He was no longer smiling, and instead, he was looking at Hsu Qingxiong without saying anything.
Under Hsu Kun's gaze, Hsu Qingxiong hurriedly lowered his head. His face was pale and his forehead started sweating profusely. He was extremely nervous.
Then, Hsu Kun snorted coldly, turned around, looked at NIng Yuefeng, and cupped his fists as he said: "Ning Mansion Master, my son is young and vigorous, and does not know the depth of heaven and earth. Furthermore, Qingxiong is only my youngest son, and cannot represent his position completely, so this matter cannot be counted."
Without waiting for NIng Yuefeng to speak, Second Master curled his lips in disdain, "So you really want to renege on the debt."
"Shut up, speaking less will kill you?" "Brother Xu, you're right. It is true that we cannot represent the position of our Xu Family, and ten billion is an astronomical figure for anyone. But since this matter has been announced, today, our Xu Family is also supporting the four great families, so our Xu Family cannot be criticized, right? In my opinion, we should just use this 10 billion as the prize, whoever Pride can take first place this time, this 10 billion will be rewarded to him, how about it? In this way, no one would dare speak ill of Xu Family behind their backs, and the reputation that we have received would be for the best. "
As soon as the words left his mouth, all of the powerful forces who had arrived in advance gasped, and expressions of anxiety filled their faces.
"10 billion!" It's like giving it away for free. "
"He actually took out ten billion, his Xu Family is indeed powerful, and is definitely not just for show."
"You youngsters, listen carefully. If this place can represent our clan and take first place, then there will be heavy rewards when we return."
More and more people began to discuss the 10 billion as if it was a piece of cake.
Facing NIng Yuefeng's words and the affirmation from the surroundings, Hsu Kun had no way out.
However, Hsu Kun actually smiled confidently, and said, "Alright!" and take out ten billion as the prize for this year's Four Clans Great Assembly, and we, the younger generation of Xu Family, have long been eager to give it a try. "
I squinted my eyes, thinking that since Hsu Kun was able to say those words, it meant that he was very confident that his Xu Family would be able to take first place, so he wasn't worried that someone would snatch the ten billion.
This was not without reason. After all, this year's Four Great Families' Competition's topic was in the hands of the Xu Family. Besides Xu Family, no one else was clear about the reason!
Finally, with NIng Yuefeng and Second Master seated in the middle of the table, and Hsu Kun leading his family back to the head of the room, as if waiting for the arrival of other forces, Ning Zhenhua and I, as the younger generation, stood at the back.
Soon, more and more people entered the venue. There was no lack of large families from other countries. Some came to the capital, some came from overseas Chinese forces and some came from martial arts sects!
The originally empty atmosphere also gradually became lively.
"Good day, Xu Family Master. Our Bai Family represents the southern part of Ling Ling'er and has come to participate in the Four Great Clans' Gathering."
"My name is Daoist Evergreen of the Wudang Mountain. Ancestor came in my place to greet you and greet you, Xu Family Master."
Finally, a group of people appeared at the main entrance of the venue. Hsu Kun, who had been sitting quietly all this time, stood up and greeted them, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have come all the way from overseas.
One of the leading middle-aged man immediately cupped his hands in response, and said: "What are you trying to say, Xu Family Master? Our Hong clan has always been on good terms with the Xu Family, so how could the Four Great Families not attend? "The old Sect Master told me that if I'm free, I can go to San Francisco and have some tea with him and play chess with him."
"Of course." Hsu Kun replied with a friendly tone, as if the man in front of him was of equal status.
Hong Gate...
I stood in the middle of the venue and looked from afar, thinking about the name, 'Hong Gate', but every man has heard of this name, so it is definitely one of the most powerful forces in China. If not for the fact that most of the forces had moved to other countries, they would be one of the most powerful forces in China, but Hong Gate is still powerful overseas.
Just as they chatted for a minute or two and were about to enter together, another group of people suddenly entered the room.
The one leading them was a burly, burly, nine feet tall man. A pair of fists were filled with calluses, and there were tattoos on his collarbones. This person was Metal River Boss, Shao Wentian!
Beside Shao Wentian, Ren Changfeng held a fan which looked like an ancient scholar. Behind him followed two figures. They were the two young masters of Hua Long Sect.
When the Metal River appeared, not only was Hsu Kun's expression moved, even everyone present, including Song Family and NIng Yuefeng, all stood up.
The current Metal River was not too strong, but for Shao Wentian to appear here, he represented one of the Three Great Families!
Only the middle-aged man from the Hong Gate hooked his arm around Shao Wentian's shoulder. Without caring about anything else, he hugged Shao Wentian as if they were brothers and asked, "Wentian, Changfeng, why have you two just arrived?"
"Aren't I coming in right behind you? "Su Shan, you brat, you really haven't changed at all." Shao Wentian was not displeased. He seemed to be very happy to see this middle-aged man and laughed heartily.
Ren Changfeng waved his fan and said with a smile, "Su Shan really hasn't changed at all. He has so few wrinkles on his face. It seems that we are the only ones who have aged."
Immediately after, Shao Wentian waved his hand and pointed at the two princes Hua Long, "These are my two sons. Why don't you two greet your Uncle Su quickly? If it wasn't for the Four Clan Gathering, your Uncle Su would have found the time to come over. Who knows when we might meet again. "
"Greetings, Uncle Su Shan." The two young masters of Hua Long's faction immediately obeyed, showing their respect.
Su Shan laughed out loud, and patted Young Master Loong's shoulder, "You are Xiaolong, right? I remember when you were young, you didn't like to cry, but it was Little Hua who cried a lot. "
For a moment, the two young masters of Hua Long's group blushed.
Hsu Kun hurried forward and made a gesture of 'please', "Sect Master Shao, Ren Wei, Vice Sect Leader, please take a seat? This time, you all have come to represent Li Family in participating in the Four Great Families' Conference, it is truly the greatest honor and privilege of my Xu Family. "
Waiting until the two great sects of Metal River had taken their seats and Hsu Kun had returned to his seat of honor, another group of people once again entered the main entrance of the venue. The one leading was the great official, Chu Wenyang!
"It's the Chu Family."
"The Chu Family is here."
"Isn't that the big miss of Chu Family, Chu Yuyan?"
At this moment, Chu Yuyan appeared behind Chu Wenyang!
But at the same moment, Soong Shaocheng suddenly turned his head and stared at me with an unprecedented look of hatred. Gradually, the corners of his mouth curled up, as though he was planning something.
