33: Chapter 33: After eating and drinking, it’s time to do something

As Zhang Bufan's words fell, a clamor arose from the crowd.

"Who is this man in white? How dare he speak to Young Master Jiang like that? Is he looking for death?"

"I'm not sure. His attire is very strange. He shouldn't be from Qingyang County."

"And I feel like he's just here to cause trouble."

"It's not 'like,' he *is* here to cause trouble. Look at his Spiritual Pet; it's already eaten all the food from several tables."

The surrounding people pointed and whispered about Zhang Bufan, but it didn't concern them much. Now it was up to the host to deal with it, and they were happy to watch the show.

"You're looking for death."

Jiang Kun stared intently at Zhang Bufan, his gaze cold, about to go down and make trouble for him.

"Kun'er, today is your big day. Don't lose your composure. Let someone else handle it."

Jiang Honglin's words were also simple, meaning that Zhang Bufan was just a nobody, and there was no need for Jiang Family's Young Master to personally intervene.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Jiang Kun respectfully responded, then looked at Steward Liu, who was standing outside the venue, and said coldly, "Steward Liu, apprehend this madman. I'll deal with him later."

Steward Liu had already been watching Zhang Bufan. If the Family Head hadn't been speaking just now, he would have rushed into the banquet and captured Zhang Bufan already.

Now that the Young Master had spoken, Steward Liu respectfully responded and quickly walked towards Zhang Bufan.

At this moment, Zhang Bufan was looking at Baldy, who was eating and drinking wildly, and said helplessly, "Baldy, that's enough. You've eaten your fill; it's time to get down to business."

Baldy looked up at Zhang Bufan, saw that the latter's expression was serious, chirped once, and then jumped back onto Zhang Bufan's shoulder.

Zhang Bufan stroked Baldy's hairless belly and chuckled, "You're such a big eater. You've eaten so much, and your belly isn't even bloated."

"Chirp chirp chirp!" Baldy looked smug, meaning, 'This is just the beginning.'

Jiang Kun on the high platform felt ignored because Zhang Bufan didn't even look at him. At this very moment, he was still teasing his Spiritual Pet.

Steward Liu, with a gloomy expression, came before Zhang Bufan and, without a word, reached out a hand towards the latter's neck.

His idea was simple: to carry Zhang Bufan out like a little chicken, then teach him a good lesson, otherwise, it would be hard to calm his anger about being fooled by a chicken bone. Finally, he would hand the half-dead Zhang Bufan over to Young Master Jiang for disposal.

Zhang Bufan saw Steward Liu make a move as soon as he approached, so he didn't hold back. He casually picked up a wine pot, imbued it with Spiritual Qi, and directly smashed it onto Steward Liu's forehead.

Crack!

The wine pot shattered with a crisp sound.

Steward Liu was dazed and reeled back a few steps, instinctively reaching for his head.

Hmm?

It was sticky and warm; it was blood.

He looked incredulous. As a cultivator in the Early Stage Fusion Realm, he had been split open by Zhang Bufan with an ordinary wine pot.

"Ah, I'll kill you!" Steward Liu roared, his body surging with Spiritual Qi, and he fiercely punched towards Zhang Bufan's chest.

"Idiot."

Zhang Bufan cursed, then casually grabbed a chair and smashed it directly onto Steward Liu's head.

Crack!

The chair splintered into pieces, and Steward Liu was even worse off. His head was bleeding, his eyes rolled back, and he directly fainted.

"Wow!"

The surrounding guests looked at Zhang Bufan in shock. Steward Liu, an Early Stage Fusion Realm cultivator, was dealt with by him in just a few moves.

And his attacks were too... that. How did it feel a bit like a ruffian among Mortals?

Zhang Bufan didn't even look at Steward Liu lying on the ground and slowly walked towards the high platform.

The Jiang Family of Qingyang County not only plundered the Tianhua Sect, but most importantly, they also killed Old Man. If Zhang Bufan hadn't been given feedback by the System in a crisis, he would have died long ago.

Furthermore, Old Man was his only family in this world, and now he was reduced to a mere remnant soul. Zhang Bufan looked at the Jiang Family members on the high platform, his killing intent overflowing.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, but those who participated in the Tianhua Sect's plunder that day must die. If anyone tried to stop him, they would also die.

"You're looking for death."

Jiang Kun's chest heaved violently. Today was not only his grandfather's emergence from seclusion but also his big day. His Jiang Family was now the overlord of Qingyang County, and he didn't expect anyone to dare cause trouble. This made him unbearable, and he was about to jump off the high platform to deal with Zhang Bufan.

"Young Master Jiang, please calm down. Today is your big day. How can such a small matter require your personal intervention? Leave it to me."

Just then, a middle-aged man from the Ye Family stood up. He was Ye Xiaodong of the Ye Family, a Late Stage Fusion Realm expert.

"That's right, Young Master Jiang, you can leave such a small matter to us."

A middle-aged man also stood up from the Huo Family's ranks. His name was Huo Tianyun, the son of Elder Huo Tu. Their Huo Family had just pledged allegiance to the Jiang Family, and now was the time to prove themselves. They couldn't let the Ye Family take all the credit.

Jiang Kun stopped upon hearing this, glanced at Jiang Honglin, and saw the latter nod slightly at him. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and slowly said, "Alright, it is indeed inappropriate for me to personally act given my status. Then I shall trouble Uncle Ye and Uncle Huo. After you capture this boy, I will properly entertain him later."

"Understood."

Ye Xiaodong and Huo Tianyun cupped their fists towards Jiang Kun and said in unison.

They all kept a very low profile, clearly considering themselves subordinates.

Ye Xiaodong glared at Huo Tianyun, said nothing, and quickly walked towards Zhang Bufan in the arena.

Huo Tianyun was not to be outdone and quickly followed.

Zhang Bufan watched Ye Xiaodong and Huo Tianyun approaching him aggressively and muttered to himself, "Two more seeking death. How troublesome."

The guests around Zhang Bufan, seeing that there was a show to watch, quickly agreed with their tablemates to move their tables away from Zhang Bufan.

In a short while, everyone around Zhang Bufan had run off, moving to a nearby spot, eating and watching him with interest, discussing animatedly.

"Do you think this kid can win?"

"With people from the Huo Family and Ye Family making a move, that bird-playing guy is dead for sure."

"But I can't see through his cultivation, so I don't know how strong he is."

"Looking at his age, he's only in his early twenties. How powerful could he be? You know, even our Qingyang County's number one Genius, Fire Qingrou, is only at Great Perfection Fusion Realm."

"Hehe, I didn't expect to come to a banquet and get to watch a show."

Zhang Bufan also heard the discussions around him and felt very displeased. "Damn it, do you really think I'm putting on a show?"

Ye Xiaodong knew it was his time to shine. He impatiently came before Zhang Bufan and angrily said, "Kid, how dare you cause trouble at the Jiang Family? You've got guts."

"Hmph, how dare you act wildly here with just that."

Fire Tianming also refused to be outdone and snorted coldly.

"Fire Tianming, this kid is mine. You just stand by and watch."

Ye Xiaodong felt the gazes of the guests on him, and he greatly enjoyed it, intending to claim all the credit.

"Why? Both you and I are Late Stage Fusion Realm."

Fire Tianming naturally wouldn't agree. Ultimately, his Huo Family only recently pledged allegiance to the Jiang Family, and he felt that their status was slightly inferior to the Ye Family. Now that there was an opportunity to prove themselves, how could he miss it?

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. I'm in a hurry. Both of you come at me together."

Zhang Bufan waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the two who were still arguing.
