Old acquaintance
Just as Princess Ji Rouyu stood up from her seat and led everyone to greet Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue.
But Cao Hong, one of the three heroes of the Cao Mansion, gave a wink and took the lead with Xing Chou and Tang Dapeng. He laughed among the young people and walked quickly towards Ye Fan who entered the palace.
"Brother Ye!"
"Master Gu Pavilion!"
"Brother Ye, I haven't seen you for a while, but I miss our brothers so much!!"
Cao Hong gave Ye Fan a bear hug, patted his shoulders and laughed, but at the same time he secretly whispered through the voice of his spiritual mind: "Brother Ye, be careful, this is the Hongmen Banquet, they were trying to think of ways to deal with you just now. That one You Chujie, the boss of Zixuan Guojiao, is the most insidious. He wants to use this trick to encourage everyone to attack you, so don't fall for it later!"
The names of the three heroes of the Cao Mansion are now quite famous in the Zixuan Dynasty. It is precisely because they followed Ye Fan to the Shenwu Star Tower that they gained their current reputation. Their gratitude to Ye Fan is beyond words.
Although the Cao Mansion was weak and Cao Hong did not dare to openly oppose other young people, he secretly stood by Ye Fan and reminded him.
Ye Fan patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, a cold glimmer flashed in his eyes, and his spiritual voice said: "Thank you, Brother Cao, for reminding me! But it doesn't matter, since I'm here, I'm naturally prepared!"
He was already prepared to go to this Hongmen Banquet and face possible provocations. Cao Hong's words only confirmed his guess. Someone will definitely be unlucky at today's Mei Tai Banquet, but he doesn't know who it will be.
The three heroes of the Cao Mansion looked excited and after greeting Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue, they stepped aside.
Ye Fan walked into the palace and smiled a little apologetically at Princess Ji Rouyu: "The two of us came from outside the city. The city gate opened late, and there was a lot of snow on the roads in the city. It was inconvenient. I kept you waiting for a long time!"
He and Gu Xinyue were the last guests to arrive at the banquet, and they did not delay on purpose.
Beast Emperor Pavilion Villa is outside Zixuan Emperor City. Although the distance is far, the car can fly all the way and it comes quickly. But after entering the city, you couldn't run around the streets, and it took a lot of time to reach the palace.
"It doesn't matter. Brother Ye came at the right time. The Mei Tai Banquet will start soon. I'm just waiting for you two to arrive!"
Ji Rouyu can be said to be beautiful and fragrant. She stood dignifiedly in front of the stone steps of the palace, with a reserved smile, looking at Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue.
She actually didn't see Ye Fan that many times.
Initially, they met by chance at the Royal Xuanbing Pavilion in the Imperial City. Ye Fan was still an unknown person in the Imperial City, but his behavior that was neither humble nor arrogant surprised her.
Today, Ye Fan is still dressed in the same white shirt as before, with a gentle expression and a hint of coldness. His momentum is becoming more and more calm, elegant and calm, but he has already soared into the sky and became the legendary martial king of the Zixuan Dynasty.
Ye Fan's reputation in the dynasty was so high that he was the leader among countless young martial kings, already above her, the princess of the dynasty. She didn't dare to show off in front of Mark.
"Sister Xinyue, she truly deserves her reputation, she is stunningly beautiful! The three beauties of the Zixuan Dynasty will probably be changed to the four beauties!"
Ji Rouyu looked at Gu Xinyue next to Ye Fan, her heart was slightly shaken, and she couldn't help but smile in praise. Gu Xinyue's stunning beauty made her obviously feel great pressure.
"Princess is too praised!"
Gu Xinyue lightly opened her red lips.
Dressed in a snow-colored mink fur, his icy muscles are as clear as ice. She follows Ye Fan prettyly, her bright ice eyes are as bright as the autumn moon, her shoulders are as if they were cut into pieces, her waist is as plain as a waist, and her smile is like the autumn water of a beautiful woman. She looks calm and calm, unfazed by favors and humiliations.
It can be said that she is the goddess of heaven, and her appearance is like that of an immortal.
Ji Rouyu gathered her thoughts and began to introduce to Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue one by one the many young and outstanding martial arts practitioners attending the Mei Tai Banquet.
At this year's banquet, Ye Fan is undoubtedly the most important guest of honor, and the other young martial arts cultivators will be waiting behind.
I saw among the group of Martial King disciples of the State Religion, a handsome young Martial King Priest with handsome eyes and beautiful eyes, with a warm smile on his face, walking over from the crowd of young people.
"This is the senior brother of Zixuan National Religion, You Chujie! The first among the second generation disciples of Zixuan National Religion, he is the backbone of the National Religion. He can be said to respond to hundreds of requests in the National Religion! As long as you get to know Brother You, you can be regarded as getting to know Zi Xuan. A second-generation disciple of Xuan Guo Cult."
Ji Rouyu waved her hand and said with a smile.
Among today's guests, the most important after Ye Fan are You Chujie and Wang Luodan, the Pope's direct disciple.
"Zixuan National Religion You Chujie, I have admired Brother Ye for a long time! My name as the National Religion Senior Brother is far less prestigious than the legendary Martial King!"
You Chujie bowed his hands in a bow, looking elegant and like everyone else.
"I don't dare, Brother You, you're welcome!"
Ye Fan's heart trembled and he returned the gift.
The You Chujie in front of me, with the enchanting light in his eyes, his handsome eyes, and his extraordinary demeanor, is indeed one of the best among people. This demeanor alone is the first among all the disciples of the National Religion.
As the descendant of Zixuan Pope You Xingchen, it is not surprising that he is so charming.
It was this senior fellow of the National Religion, You Chujie, who was going to give him some color at the Mei Tai Banquet.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Rouyu introduced Wang Luodan to Ye Fan.
Wang Luodan's status in the Zixuan National Religion is actually higher than that of You Chujie, and he is the only direct disciple of Pope Zixuan.
Although everyone knows You Chujie's identity, the Pope has never announced it publicly.
However, Wang Luodan did not form cliques and always stood out among the disciples of the State Religion, so he was often not as powerful as the "Ten Disciples of the State Religion" headed by You Chujie.
"This is Wang Luodan, the first of the three beauties in the dynasty! She is the only direct disciple of Pope Zixuan..."
Ji Rouyu smiled.
Wang Luodan couldn't help but interrupt with a faint smile: "Princess, there is no need to introduce us. Brother Ye and I have actually known each other for a long time, earlier than you, and even earlier than Sister Xinyue."
"Have you known each other for a long time?"
Ji Rouyu couldn't help but be surprised, it was obviously beyond her surprise.
Gu Xinyue couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face. Wang Luodan actually knew Mark earlier than she did, so he was obviously familiar with him. Wang Luodan is the most beautiful woman in the Zixuan Dynasty. Why has she never been mentioned by Ye Fan?
Moreover, Wang Luodan was so secretive that he actually met Ye Fan more than a year earlier than her. There must be some stories that she didn't know.
"It's a long story. It happened seven or eight years ago in the Canglan Kingdom! He was still the general marshal of the Canglan Kingdom. I went to the Canglan Kingdom under the orders of my master. We knew each other at that time and thought about inviting Brother Ye. Joined the national religion. But unfortunately, he later chose to go to the ancient land of the ancestors, and there was little news about him. It was not until Brother Ye came to the imperial city and became the legendary Martial King that we met today! Therefore, Brother Ye and I can be considered Old acquaintance."
Wang Luodan explained with a smile.
This old acquaintance should be discounted, and it is only a one-time relationship at most. It's just that she didn't say it in detail, and Mark didn't mention it, so people would think that the two were familiar with each other in the past.
When the young martial kings heard this, they were all shocked and heard another meaning of Wang Luodan.
Seven or eight years ago, Wang Luodan was ordered by his teacher to go to an unknown small vassal country to meet Ye Fan!
Doesn't this mean that Pope You Xingchen has long noticed Ye Fan, who was unknown in the Zixuan Dynasty? Did you predict that he might achieve the great achievements he has today and have a bright future? !
The Pope's power of prediction and priestly strength are simply unfathomable.
However, Wang Luodan naturally knew in his heart that Pope You Xingchen's ability to predict the future was not that great, otherwise Ye Fan would not have been allowed to stay in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral God for five years.
After Ji Rouyu greeted Ye Fan and Wang Luodan, she continued to introduce many other talented young people to Ye Fan.
"I'm Ran Dechang, the Zixuan State Sect. I've admired Brother Ye for a long time!"
"Ji Lin, a member of the royal family, has met Brother Ye!"
"Down here..."
All the young people stepped forward one after another and exchanged pleasantries with Ye Fan.
But their expressions were different, some were reluctant, some were envious, and some were full of admiration.
Ye Fan bowed his hands in greeting and remembered everyone's appearance and expression in his heart.
"Brother Ye Fan, I finally see you again! I have devoted myself to practicing runes in the past six months and have made some progress in runes. I just don't know how far I am from brother Ye Fan. Please give me some advice when you have time!"
Chai Lanyi's face turned red and she looked a little excited.
She waited for more than half a year, and finally waited for the opportunity of the Mei Tai Banquet to openly learn from each other's skills. She doesn't need to care too much about her status as a lady and get close to Mark.
Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle, "Miss Lan Yi, you're welcome! I can't talk about giving advice, but we can learn from each other."
There are fully one or two hundred young King Wu attending the Mei Tai Banquet.
Except for Ji Rouyu, Wang Luodan, Chai Lanyi, and the three heroes of Cao Mansion, whom he had known for a long time or had met several times, most of them were new acquaintances.
About half of the young martial arts cultivators who participated in the Mei Tai Banquet were top genius martial arts kings, and the remaining half were not all the most outstanding cultivators.
Some were invited because of their family status.
For example, each of the eighty-eight martial sage families in the dynasty has a quota, mainly because their family background is strong.
Each year, an outstanding representative from these martial sage families will attend the Mei Tai Banquet. People like Xia Houhai, Jiang Zixuan, etc. are all outstanding members of the Martial Saint family. However, there are also some that are just fake.
Royal disciples occupied more than ten places.
But generally speaking, the quality of the Mei Tai Banquet was the highest in the Zixuan Dynasty, and almost concentrated the most talented, most backgrounded and powerful young martial kings in the Zixuan Dynasty.
After a short moment, Ji Rouyu introduced all the young martial kings to Ye Fan.
"Now that all the guests have arrived, we will not sit around in this palace. Come with me to the Plum Garden to enjoy the nine-grade rare plums I planted! They are the ones I have spent more than ten years of hard work to grow from the Shenwu Continent. The unique species of plum blossoms collected by people from all over the country are considered rare. We exchange skills while walking on the snow to taste plum blossoms, which is also a pleasure in life."
Ji Rouyu smiled.
"Okay, princess please!"
"These nine-color plum blossoms were originally scattered in dangerous places across the Shenwu Continent, and it was difficult to see their true appearance. Now they have been transplanted to the palace, and you can see them together. However, they only bloom at the same time for a very short period of time in the cold winter, which is very rare. . This time, it's thanks to the princess that I can feast my eyes on it."
All the young people followed him to the Plum Garden near the palace.
