Hongmen Headquarters has rows of European-style castles, which look very beautiful. Although it has just dawned, many people have already gathered.
Li Huamao's birthday was a big event, and the surrounding small sects and many sects from the Jiuxia Sect were invited.
Many Jiuxia sects sent representatives over and sent congratulatory gifts one after another.
The atmosphere was very festive, lively and full of people.
“There are quite a lot of people!”
Ye Fan and the other three are already here. They have changed their makeup and don't release their aura, so most people won't be able to spot them.
He glanced around and saw many familiar people, including quite a few from the Jiuxia Sect.
The three of them kept a low profile as much as possible, eating and drinking as they pleased.
"Sect Master Ye, why don't we take action?" Lin Xiyue was a little confused.
Her uncle and the people around her told her that to kill the enemy, she should cut through the mess with a sharp knife, fight quickly, and wait until there are few people around the target before taking action.
But the timing and location chosen by Sect Master Ye and Sister Lin were different from what her uncle and the others had said. The discrepancies were too big for her to understand.
Ye Fan looked at the sun in the sky and said, "It's not time yet. Let's eat first before we have the strength to fight. Don't you think so?"
Lin Xiyue was a little confused and said: "Do you still care about this? Hongmen is pretty good."
The words just fell.
There was a noise not far away.
There seems to be a conflict over there, and many people are watching.
Ye Fan concentrated and listened for a while.
One unlucky small sect was deliberately made trouble by Hongmen, just to establish its authority in front of many sects, and all the members of that small sect were killed.
The representatives of the Jiuxia Sect were all speaking for Hongmen, and the unlucky little sect was splattered with blood on the spot.
Ye Fan didn't intend to take action either.
No grievances, no need to meddle in others' affairs.
Lin Wenrou also has the same attitude.
"You guys are a bit unfamiliar. I wonder which disciple of my Hongmen invited you here." A young disciple looked at the three of them and said casually.
Ye Fan said without hesitation: "Li Huamao invited us here, what? Want to conduct an interrogation on us?"
Just then!
Another Hongmen disciple came over and said, "Brother, someone is making trouble at the door, saying that they were invited, but the invitation letter was lost."
"I'll go take a look!"
The two of them rushed towards the door.
Ye Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, have those unlucky children finally arrived?
It's probably another blood spatter.
Sure enough, not long after, the sounds of fighting were heard.
Ye Fan picked up a leg of lamb and started chewing it.
Li Huamao of Hongmen began his speech, mainly thanking all the guests, and specifically named the Jiuxia Sect, highlighting the relationship between Hongmen and the Jiuxia Sect.
It's all a ploy to shock the sects below so that they can be recruited and won over in the future.
Ye Fan was too lazy to pay attention. Eating was the last word.
"...the first protector of Tianyayuan, senior Wei Chu, and disciples of Tianyayuan, representatives of Nanshan Sect..."
The names of the Jiuxia sects were read out one by one. Except for Wanchao City and Ningjiujian, representatives from other sects came over.
Sudden!
Li Huamao's voice stopped, he kept looking in a certain direction, frowned, and walked straight over, a little unbelievable.
That is the direction of Ye Fan and the others.
"Ye...Ye Fan?"
The sound was not loud, but it was enough to shock everyone present.
All eyes turned to look at it.
Many hostile looks were thrown at him, and some people were already holding sword hilts and hilts, ready to take action at any time, and their anger was burning, especially those from Hongmen.
A large number of people gathered around.
People who were close to Ye Fan and the others also stayed away.
The three people suddenly became the focus.
"Beidou Sect's Ye Fan?"
"Ye Fan, who is it?"
"It seems that he is the leader of a sect on the southeastern border. It is said that he was very fierce and powerful in Wanchao City some time ago. Didn't you expect it to be him?"
"The southeastern border is so far away, how come you have come so far to the northwest? Are you here to congratulate Senior Li?"
"I don't know, I guess so. It's just that the atmosphere doesn't feel right. People in Hongmen seem to have murderous intent."
"..."
The nearby small sects don't know much about the Beidou Sect. After all, they are far away. The Beidou Sect is not the Jiuxia Sect and its reputation is not that great.
However, people from the Jiuxia Sect are still very familiar with the Beidou Sect, especially Ye Fan's name.
A middle-aged man stepped forward, stared at Ye Fan and the others, and said:
"Why are you here?"
Ye Fan and Lin Wenrou were very worried. Lin Xiyue was a little nervous. She already held the hilt of the sword and could use it to kill the enemy at any time, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.
Ye Fan casually held the leg of lamb in his hand and said:
"Who are you?"
"Hongmen Elder Bai Hongzhen is also the organizer of this birthday banquet. I made all the invitation lists. There is no Beidou Sect. How come you are here? What do you want to do?"
Ye Fan took out the invitation and said:
"I received the invitation and came all the way to congratulate you. What is your attitude? Is this how you treat guests? I'm so disappointed. I came from a very far away place."
How could Bai Hongzhen believe him and ask again: "What do you want to do?"
Ye Fan said again: "Congratulations!"
He looked at Li Huamao, showed a bright smile, and said:
"Ye Fan, the head of the Beidou Sect, wishes Hongmen Consul Li Huamao to board the Western Paradise as soon as possible and enjoy family happiness."
"You..." Li Huamao was so angry that his face turned livid.
Doesn't this curse him to death?
Ye Fan hurriedly said: "Consul Li, you are the birthday boy today, don't be angry, I am really here to wish you good wishes. I have even prepared congratulatory gifts."
A disciple of Nanshan Sect opened his mouth and said:
"I don't know what kind of congratulatory gift Master Ye sent, but I would like to pay my respects."
Ye Fan looked at the sun, looked at the time, and then looked at the entrance. The time had not yet come, and said:
"My gift is relatively expensive and hasn't arrived yet. But I can give you some tips on giving gifts."
He gnawed on the leg of lamb as if nothing had happened, held the wine in his hand, and said:
"The first key to giving gifts is practicality. Some things are flashy and completely useless. Li Huamao is a warrior. It is best to give some elixirs to assist in cultivation, or a bed where you can sleep."
"That's enough!" Bai Hongzhen interrupted him and said:
"Ye Fan, please leave immediately!"
"Wait!" Wei Chu spoke.
The people of Hongmen are still very considerate. After all, he is the great protector from the Jiuxia Sect and the most authoritative person among all the representatives.
He looked at Ye Fan and the others and said:
"Sect Master Ye, we meet again. Your appearance really surprises me. You said you came to send congratulatory gifts and blessings to Consul Li. Do you think I will believe you?"
Ye Fan looked indifferent and said: "Believe it or not!"
Wei Chu looked at Bai Hongzhen and said, "Since everyone is here, I also want to know what he wants to do, so let him stay here."
Bai Hongzhen nodded and said: "That's okay, give Mr. Wei some face, you'd better stay calm for me."
Just then!
A Hongmen disciple ran over and said:
"Elder Bai, someone outside sent a lot of gifts. They seemed to be very heavy. Hundreds of people carried them in and said they would be placed in the courtyard. They said they were specially ordered by the person who gave the gifts."
