36: This is provocation

Liu Jiangyi put away his meteorite iron sword and said with satisfaction, "Hm, this Magical Artifact is not bad. Let's go."

"Now that you've taken the goods, do your job well. If anything goes wrong, I won't let you off!"

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for them, I understand the rules."

Liu Jiangyi grinned, looked out the window, and no longer paid attention to Liu Ruyan.

...

Furong Hotel.

One of City 39's top hotels.

The largest banquet hall on the second floor of Furong Hotel was booked by the Liu Family.

Luxury cars lined the hotel entrance, experts gathered, and the guests coming and going were all wealthy and influential, with extraordinary Auras.

Liu Ruyan led Liu Jiangyi through the VIP aisle and directly to the second floor.

"You wait for me here for a moment, I have something to do."

Liu Ruyan led Liu Jiangyi to the back door of the banquet hall and then left alone.

Liu Jiangyi didn't care about this at all.

He strode into the banquet hall, then found an empty corner, and began to eat and drink to his heart's content.

It had to be said that the Liu Family's banquet was indeed of a very high standard.

Whether it was food or drinks, they were all Advanced goods.

Liu Jiangyi had never eaten such good things in his life. After a few bites, he completely forgot about image management, as if he had transformed into a black hole, and began to gorge himself.

A dead silence fell around him.

Liu Jiangyi didn't notice that the group of wealthy merchants and experts behind him had all stopped talking, staring at him like idiots and pointing.

"Where did this idiot come from? Why does he look like he's never eaten before?"

"That shouldn't be. This person is wearing the Tianwu Martial Arts Academy teacher's uniform, so how could he make such a rude gesture?"

"Hmph! What about a teacher's uniform? It's just clothes, anyone can fake a set!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how embarrassing. At such an Advanced banquet, for such a thing to appear, it really spoils the atmosphere!"

Burp~

After a long time, Liu Jiangyi let out a satisfying burp, comfortably rubbed his stomach, and showed a pleased expression.

"Enjoyable! Truly enjoyable!" Liu Jiangyi picked up his wine glass, downed it in one go, and exclaimed.

He turned his head, ready to go elsewhere to see if there was anything else good to eat, but then he froze.

"What are you all staring at me for? If you want to eat, go get some from somewhere else!"

Liu Jiangyi gave everyone an annoyed glare.

A bunch of idiots!

Haven't you seen someone eat?

"Pfft!"

Everyone rolled their eyes back, but no one bothered to talk to Liu Jiangyi.

In their opinion.

For people of their noble status to bicker with an idiot who had never eaten before was truly beneath them.

"Hmph! Don't you understand 'don't eat, don't eat for nothing'?"

Liu Jiangyi understood exactly what others were thinking.

However, he didn't care at all.

If it were before, Liu Jiangyi would certainly have been restless facing so many people's glares.

But the current Liu Jiangyi had long since learned to face all of this with composure.

And all of this confidence and composure stemmed from extreme self-confidence!

He understood in his heart that these people were all inferior to him, just like a star and moon looking down on plankton; why would he care about their faint light?

Ridiculous!

Liu Jiangyi changed places and once again began to eat and drink to his heart's content.

The crowd, however, seemed to have found something amusing, and they all swarmed after him, continuing to watch Liu Jiangyi.

It was like tourists in a zoo watching a monkey eat.

"Liu Jiangyi!"

At this moment!

An exasperated female voice rang out in the crowd.

"Huh?"

Liu Jiangyi, holding a Dragon lobster, turned his head, his mouth still stuffed with a chicken leg.

"Still eating? Have you forgotten what you came here to do?"

Liu Ruyan rushed over, fuming, snatched the Dragon lobster from Liu Jiangyi's hand, pulled the chicken leg out of his mouth, and threw them into a nearby trash can.

"Don't throw it away!"

Liu Jiangyi was terribly distressed. "What did my food do to offend you?"

"If you're unhappy, take it out on me!"

Liu Jiangyi was furious.

This fellow truly didn't know the value of food and daily necessities because he wasn't in charge of the household!

In City 39, food was definitely a high-priced product, and most people ate canned goods processed by food factories.

To eat such fresh meat, one had to spend a lot of money!

Ordinary families couldn't eat it more than a few times a year.

She actually threw it away directly?

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth in anger, and said in a low voice, "If you want to eat, I'll let you eat your fill after the matter is settled!"

"Now, please stop embarrassing me, okay?"

"Embarrassing?" Liu Jiangyi became even more annoyed. "I'm just eating, how is that embarrassing?"

"What? Don't you people eat?"

"You!" Liu Ruyan was so angry that she felt dizzy, wishing she could escape this damned world.

Everyone around was already filled with shock.

"What's going on? Young Miss Liu seems to be very familiar with this person?"

"Could it be that this person was invited by Young Miss Liu? Is he an elder of the Liu Family?"

"That shouldn't be! How could a member of the Liu Family be so out of control?"

"Hehe, the Liu Family has been suppressed quite badly by the Qian Family. It's normal for the elders to go crazy under the pressure."

"Forget it, forget it. Since he's an elder of the Liu Family, there's nothing to see. Everyone, disperse."

Although the Liu Family was in decline, it was still a major Family in City 39.

Although the Qian Family didn't care about the Liu Family, this didn't mean that other smaller forces could also disregard the Liu Family.

As long as the Liu Family was not destroyed for a day, they wouldn't dare to offend them.

This was why they all came to show their respect for Old Master Liu's eightieth birthday.

"Young Master Qian has arrived!"

At this moment.

A loud shout came from the entrance.

"Young Master Qian! It's Young Master Qian!"

"The Qian Family is at its peak. If we can build a connection with Young Master Qian, our Families will surely rise!"

"Move aside, move aside, don't block me from greeting Young Master Qian!"

...

The crowd instantly went wild, scrambling to rush towards Qian Qiang.

"Qian Qiang is here, don't let me down!"

Liu Ruyan also couldn't be bothered to dwell on what had just happened. After a cold glance at Liu Jiangyi, she walked towards the stage.

Qian Qiang was welcomed into the banquet hall, surrounded by people like stars around the moon.

Qian Qiang smiled gently, but an arrogant look was hard to hide on his face.

"Young Master Qian! You've arrived!"

At this moment.

A man in a Tang suit, nearly sixty years old, accompanied by a plump woman, quickly went to greet him.

There was a slight resemblance between the two of them and Liu Ruyan.

It was not difficult to see that these two should be Liu Ruyan's parents.

Behind the two, there was also a man in his thirties, also with a humble attitude and respectful demeanor.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, long time no see, how are you both doing?"

"Good, good, good." Liu Shan said with an awkward smile, "Thanks to Young Master Qian, we are all doing well."

"Hahahaha, that's good. My Qian Family was just worried that you two elders were too overworked, so we helped you share a part of your business."

"Seeing that you are indeed much more relaxed because of this, I am very pleased."

Whoosh!

These words immediately made the Liu Shan couple's faces turn ashen, and their expressions awkward.

Qian Qiang's words were nothing short of a provocation!

Everyone around immediately looked at the Liu Shan couple, waiting to see how Liu Shan would respond to this provocation.
