Chapter 764: Isn't This Wrong? The Hua Family Trying to Please the Ling Family?
"This is a secret! Not many people know about it, remember to keep it confidential!"
Ye Fan quickly kneaded his face and his appearance returned to that of Fan Ye's!
This appearance still has big uses in the Capital!
The feigned death plan has just begun; there's still a big show to come, so it's better to not revert back for now.
Since Hua Xueyan has now become one of his people, Ye Fan still needs to demonstrate a bit of his strength, so that the Hua Family won't mistakenly harm Ye Fan's other allied family members!
"Alright! I understand, I get it!"
Hua Xueyan replied excitedly, feeling like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Ye Fan was willing to show his true face in front of her. What did that mean?
It meant that Ye Fan truly considered her one of his own!
Ye Fan, Fan Ye? Isn't that just the name reversed?
I'm so silly!
Really!
With the strength that Fan Ye has displayed, I should have thought of this earlier!
While Hua Xueyan was excited inside, another thought struck her!
Her best friend from the Ancient Martial World family powers, Nangong Aoyue, had already established a relationship with Ye Fan, and now that she had joined in too, how would she explain this to her best friend?
However, the anxiety in Hua Xueyan's heart lasted only a moment before she quickly came to a realization.
What was this to Ye Fan?
After all, Ye Fan already had seven sisters-in-law, and now he's also become Ling Yifei's boyfriend. Even his little aunt was not an issue, so having one more herself wouldn't make a difference!
"Thank you! Thank you for taking an interest in me!" Hua Xueyan looked at Ye Fan tenderly. She then lifted her head and planted a kiss on Ye Fan's face, "Let's go out and preside over the banquet first. After it's over, I'll... take care of you..."
Ye Fan smiled gently, "We'll talk about that later!"
Tonight was destined to be an extraordinary night!
Those family elders who had received orders from Prince Jin did not know when they might make their move.
Furthermore, if they didn't act, Ye Fan was going to have to take the initiative to seek them out and stir up trouble!
...
Despite having gone through quite a few twists and turns earlier in the banquet hall!
The Bodyguard Captain of the Hua Family, Hua Chang'an, colluded with the Wu Family, attempting to take action against the Ling Family, but in the end, it was Hua Chang'an who was taken away, and Wu Hai was even killed on the spot.
As for the other young masters from wealthy families who had come with Wu Hai, they were temporarily detained by the Hua Family's bodyguards.
Their backing families were all driven mad, trying every means possible to contact Fan Ye to save their people.
As for Ling Yanqiu, at this moment, she had become the focus of the whole room!
Due to the stance taken by Hua Taikang, nearly everyone knew that Ling Yanqiu was going to become a partner of the Hua Family. As a result, countless people were trying to ingratiate themselves with Ling Yanqiu, looking for ways to forge connections with her.
Ling Yanqiu went from initial shock, to calm acceptance, and now she was even feeling a bit annoyed!
She had seen through the true colors of these people.
When there was no benefit, when the Ling Family faced a crisis, they all ran faster than rabbits, fearing they'd be tainted by trouble.
But now that there were benefits, they flocked to her like dogs, following the scent.
At this moment, Ling Yanqiu really missed Ye Fan. If Ye Fan were here, how would he deal with these troublesome matters?
Ling Yanqiu glanced over at the changing room and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity!
Sigh!
It was indeed tough for Ye Fan, who, for the sake of comforting the Ling Family, was forced to sacrifice his own dignity to flirt with the daughter of the Hua Family!
How moving!
Ye Fan must have made a tremendous resolution; this was too injurious to a man's pride!
"Ladies and Gentlemen!"
On the stage, Hua Taikang suddenly appeared and grabbed the microphone to greet everyone!
The noisy scene instantly quieted down, and all eyes were on the podium!
"I'm very delighted that you could all join us today at the business banquet hosted by the Hua Family. I'm aware that everyone is here for the opportunity to partner with the Hua Family, but regrettably, there's only one spot available for this cooperation project, so we are unable to accommodate everyone... I hope you'll understand!"
"However, the Hua Family promises that tonight, every attendee will receive a Third Rank Elixir when they leave, which can assist everyone in advancing to the Martial Venerable Realm! Also, this banquet serves as a platform for everyone to exchange and peacefully seek partnership opportunities!"
"If anyone dares to cause trouble here, then don't blame the Hua Family for being impolite! Whether you're at the Martial Emperor Strong level or a Martial Saint expert, no mercy will be shown!"
Initially, Hua Taikang hadn't been so confident!
But the prowess that Ye Fan demonstrated earlier in the parking lot!
Able to slay even the strongest at the Peak of Grade Nine Martial Saint, with such backing, what's there to fear!
Whoosh!
As Hua Taikang's speech ended, the tens of thousands of guests present were all abuzz.
They were shocked by the Hua Family's firm stance and stunned by their wealth and power.
With so many people receiving a Third Rank Elixir each, that added up to over ten thousand pills!
Such immense expense seemed like mere pocket change to the Hua Family.
"Hmph! The Hua Family is full of crap... After the banquet ends, once I get Grandpa's ashes, I will definitely not let that woman Hua Xueyan off!"
Among the crowd, a young man with a gloomy expression glared resentfully at Hua Taikang and the others on the stage.
This was the young master of the Gong Family!
The ashes of his grandfather had been snatched away, and although the Gong Family had Martial Saint Realm experts in place, they dared not act rashly.
All previous plans were put on hold, and they could only watch as the Hua Family smoothly carried out their banquet.
Elsewhere in the banquet hall, another group of people with dark expressions also glared at the stage, "Damn it! What the hell is Prince Jin doing... Didn't he arrange for so many experts? Why hasn't there been any action today... If the Ancient Martial Hua Family plant a spy in the Capital, then Prince Jin will have a hard time in the future!"
"What's worse for us is the Evil Martial Alliance! Now that the Hua Family is expanding into the Secular World, once the Elixir Medicine Factory starts operating, who knows how many Martial Arts Experts will emerge from the Secular World. They'll definitely be grateful to the Hua Family, and when the time comes, will surely side with the Ancient Martial Alliance!"
"Let's just wait and see!"
Tens of thousands of guests from all over the world, representing various Sect Forces!
Everyone had their own schemes, waiting for Hua Taikang to announce the final result.
"After our internal discussion, we have decided that the Ling Family will be the cooperating family for the Hua Family's Elixir Medicine Factory... Miss Ling Yanqiu of the Ling Family will handle everything!" Hua Taikang spoke with conviction and continued, "Miss Ling Yanqiu, as well as her family, from this moment on, will be considered one with the Hua Family, and all her actions will represent the Hua Family... and behind the Hua Family, stands the Ancient Martial Alliance..."
"To put it more bluntly! Any Family Powers that dare oppose the Ling Family, that make any slight moves against us, are opposing the Hua Family, and are opposing the Ancient Martial Alliance! If you're not afraid of death, you can try!"
Hiss!
Hua Taikang's words made everyone in attendance take a sharp breath!
This... didn't seem quite right, did it?
Wasn't it just a partnership for an Elixir Medicine project?
It felt like the Hua Family was forcibly binding themselves with the Ling Family, and even currying favor with them?
