217: Chapter 217 Distinguished Guest?

Hmm?!

Just one short sentence made Che Chunlin frown. He was stunned for a moment, then let out a cold snort.

"Honored guests?! What kind of honored guests?! Honored guests more important than him?!"

"I don't think Guan Fei is trying to serve any honored guests. Instead, he feels like he's latched onto Ye Qing's coattails. Now that Ye Qing has shared some mineral vein businesses with him, he feels like he can stand tall and doesn't want to bother with our Family anymore."

"Hmph, how interesting."

These few words made everyone nearby indignant.

"This guy, I don't think he plans on continuing in this business. How about this, let's go directly to his Mansion and see what kind of tricks he's up to."

"If he's really doing this on purpose, then we don't mind punishing him."

...

As these words were spoken, everyone waited for Che Chunlin's decision.

"Then let's go over and take a look."

With that one sentence from Che Chunlin, everyone wore cold sneers and headed toward the Mansion.

Meanwhile, inside the Mansion, the banquet was already well underway.

A few of the star of huaxia separately toasted Ye Qing.

"Brother Ye, we didn't really admire you before, but now, after so many things have happened, we are convinced. We are truly convinced."

"We have finished absorbing the king-level exotic beast essence blood. After today's grand banquet, there's nothing else to do, so we plan to return to Magic City today."

"If you come to Magic City in the future, be sure to look for us. We'll take you around Magic City properly. I feel that even in Magic City, there isn't a single Family that wouldn't want to be on good terms with you."

As the star of huaxia spoke one after another, the people nearby watched their expressions and were shocked in their hearts.

Good heavens. The expressions on these people's faces were so sincere; one could tell at a glance that they weren't putting on a show, but truly admired Ye Qing from the bottom of their hearts.

Leng Ming watched from afar and recalled how he had previously gone to Sucheng Barrier to challenge Ye Qing. Thinking about it now, he really admired his past self; he was truly brave back then.

"You're leaving today? Why not stay here for a few more days?" Guan Fei asked, trying to persuade them to stay.

They waved their hands. "We've been out for quite a while this time. Now that the king-level exotic beast essence blood has been mostly absorbed, we should head back."

"Thank you all for your hospitality and for wanting us to stay. If you ever come to Magic City, you can look for us too."

"Having gone through a great battle together, we can now be considered comrades in the same trench."

...

They said, then drained the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

A while later, seeing that the banquet was about to end, Guan Fei went out to make arrangements.

"Boss, there are a few people downstairs who want to eat here. They look quite flashy and wealthy."

"What do you think about this?"

Guan Fei looked at the man with a helpless expression. Recently, too many flashy and wealthy people had come to the Jiangcheng Barrier, mostly to exchange Ore here.

Although they were heads of other Families, he had stated today that the Mansion would not be receiving guests, in order to serve Lord Ye well. After all, Ye Qing was his god of wealth and his backing. He was the real deal!

"Go tell them that we have honored guests today and won't be receiving anyone else. Apologize to them and tell them the next time they come to eat, it'll be on the house."

As Guan Fei spoke, a cold snort sounded from not far away.

"Boss Guan, you've really made it big now, haven't you? You won't even receive us when we come? Do you look down on us now?"

"Tsk tsk, as expected, Boss Guan is not the same as he used to be."

...

As these words were spoken, Guan Fei looked toward where the voice came from. The next moment, he was stunned.

This! The Imperial Capital Che Family! One of the powerful clans of the Imperial Capital!

The leader, Che Chunlin, was a young master of the Che Family with considerable influence, and his strength was not weak either; he had reached the Town General Rank!

"So it's Young Master Che. What wind blew you here?" Guan Fei looked at them, secretly thinking this was bad.

After all, these young masters from the Imperial Capital were usually arrogant and looked down on others. Judging by their tone, things really weren't looking good. Since these people were in a bad mood, he should quickly appease them. He didn't want them to provoke Ye Qing when he and the others came out. That would be disastrous.

"My subordinates didn't recognize you. You all, take good care of Young Master Che. This is the young master of the Imperial Capital Che Family." Guan Fei scolded his subordinates. The others looked at Guan Fei and nodded.

"Young Master Che."

"Hmph, spare me that!"

Next to Che Chunlin, a young man looked at Guan Fei. "You've really gotten high and mighty. We notified you in advance that we were coming, and you didn't receive us, which is fine. But now that we've come ourselves and want to have a meal here, why is that not allowed either?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Please don't misunderstand, we really do have honored guests today." Guan Fei explained helplessly. At these words, Che Chunlin's eyes widened.

The people beside him saw Che Chunlin's expression and knew he was Life Qi.

Then, they walked up to Guan Fei. "Honored guests?! What kind of honored guests are more important than us?! Huh?!"

After these words were spoken, Guan Fei didn't know how to respond; if this wasn't handled well, it could easily erupt into a conflict. However, before he could speak, a voice came from behind. "How important are you?"

"Hmm?!" At this, everyone frowned. Someone was still defiant?!

Che Chunlin looked toward the person who spoke, and then his eyes widened abruptly; he couldn't believe what he was seeing! The person speaking was none other than the City Lord of Jiangcheng Barrier, City Lord Qian, Qian Tu!

Qian Tu looked at them at this moment and snorted coldly.

"City Lord Qian, so it was you all eating here."

"I am Che Chunlin of the Imperial Capital Che Family."

"The Imperial Capital Che Family, I have heard of them, but they aren't that extraordinary. Do you mean to say you want to kick us out?"

In an instant, Che Chunlin's Aura diminished significantly. He had to lower his head now; after all, Qian Tu was a Marquis Realm Expert and the City Lord of Jiangcheng Barrier. No matter how you looked at it, he was not someone Che Chunlin could provoke.

He looked at this group of people and then discovered something surprising! Qian Tu was actually walking half a step behind someone! This, this, this!

Che Chunlin looked at the youth in the lead, and his heart trembled! What was going on? Why was Qian Tu, a Marquis Realm Expert and the highest-ranking official of Jiangcheng Barrier, walking behind a youth? This youth was... Ye Qing?!

This name immediately appeared in Che Chunlin's mind! Boom! Che Chunlin suddenly remembered the legends of Ye Qing and his recent actions! Today, it really was an unfortunate time to come.
