Chapter 1793

Today, Situ Jin was wearing a crimson cheongsam with a blooming peony outlined in gold thread.

Such clothing is not something that anyone can handle, but when worn on Situ Jin, it does not feel out of place, but rather highlights her temperament.

After seeing Ye Xiao, Situ Jin rarely smiled.

Now Situ Jin is grateful and somewhat awed by Ye Xiao.

If it weren't for Ye Xiao, she would never have been able to bring her father out of the Hanging Island Prison.

And Ye Xiao was able to tie with the warden, a warrior like that, which proved that Ye Xiao was also a warrior in the Incarnation Realm. How could she not be awed by a figure who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts at such a young age?

In fact, Wu Huiru completely changed her view of Ye Xiao after hearing about what happened yesterday.

She changed from thinking that Ye Xiao was plain-looking and unworthy of her best friend at the beginning to thinking that her best friend had good taste.

Ye Xiao smiled at Wu Huiru and Situ Jin, as a greeting, and then looked at Wu Shouzhuo and said, "Mr. Wu, nice to meet you. We meet again."

Although Ye Xiao did not think much of the indecisive second generation of the Wu family, he was attending today on behalf of the Wu family, so he naturally had to give him some respect.

Wu Shouzhuo laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Ye, I am really amazed!"

"At first I thought that Mr. Ye, who was proficient in the appreciation of ancient paintings, must be a talented scholar who was well-versed in ancient and modern times. I didn't expect that Mr. Ye had such high attainments in martial arts, and he deserved the title of both civil and military!"

As early as when he was in the Wu Mansion, Wu Shouzhuo admired Ye Xiao's vision in the appraisal of ancient paintings. The reason why he did not agree to cooperate with Ye Xiao at that time was because he knew that he was not capable enough.

What the forces represented by Ye Xiao asked him to do was extremely risky for the Wu family, and he did not have the courage to accompany Ye Xiao to gamble.

Later, when his father came out of seclusion, Wu Shouzhuo no longer had these concerns. What Ye Xiao did yesterday gave him a lot of confidence in Ye Xiao's side.

"Mr. Wu, you are too kind. What I did is just the icing on the cake. Mr. Wu and you are the chess players who control the situation in Penglai." Ye Xiao said meaningfully.

Whether it was Ye Xiao's appraisal of ancient paintings or persuading the warden to bring Situ Zhao out of the Hanging Island Prison, they were just shining at a certain point or in a certain field.

But what the Wu family had to do determined the future of Penglai. Compared with the two, the latter was naturally more difficult and more meaningful.

Wu Shouzhuo laughed, "Mr. Ye, you are too modest. Let's not stand here. Let's solve the problems inside as soon as possible and find a chance to sit down and chat!"

As he spoke, Wu Shouzhuo stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Xiao.

Of course, he could hear the implication of Ye Xiao's words, but in Wu Shouzhuo's opinion, Ye Xiao was talking more about his father, and he was just mentioned by Ye Xiao.

This made him somewhat embarrassed, so he decisively ended the topic.

Not long after, the group walked into the main gate of Zhonghe Gate.

The interior of Zhonghe Gate was very spacious. As soon as you enter the main gate, there is a martial arts arena similar to that of a martial arts sect, on which are placed eighteen kinds of weapons such as swords, spears, swords and halberds.

However, unlike the orthodox martial arts sects, the blades of those weapons are all thin iron sheets, which should be placed there for show.

At this time, the news of Wu Shouzhuo's arrival had been passed to Zhonghe Gate, and some Zhonghe Gate hall masters and elders who entered early were standing on the martial arts arena to greet him.

After all, the biggest backer of Zhonghe Gate is still the Wu family. For Wu Shouzhuo, the representative of the Wu family, those hall masters and elders still have to show respect.

Ye Xiao's eyes swept over the people who came out to greet him, including his old friend Long Jinyuan, as well as Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang, who had new and old grudges against Ye Xiao.

Zhonghemen is divided into eight halls: Tiger, Leopard, Dragon, Lion, Bear, Phoenix, Wolf, and Peng. Among them, the Dragon, Lion, Bear, and Phoenix Halls, as introduced in the information of the second elder, firmly support Situ Jin.

However, these days, Ye Xiao learned from Long Jinyuan that the Bear Hall is now somewhat wavering, and it is very likely that it has been won over by Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang.

So Ye Xiao's eyes paused for a few more seconds on the elder of the Bear Hall, and found that the old man's eyes when looking at Situ Jin were indeed a little evasive, but it was very well hidden.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!" I don't know who took the lead, the eight hall masters and seven elders shouted to Wu Shouzhuo in unison.

"Everyone, no need to be polite. I see that almost everyone is here. Let's go to the Loyalty Hall and talk first!" Wu Shouzhuo said softly with a smile on his face, but at this moment,The smile was a little more reluctant than when he talked to Ye Xiao just now.

On the surface, these people still respect the Wu family as their leader, but how many of them are sincere?

Just when Wu Shouzhuo finished speaking and was about to step forward, suddenly, a harsh voice came from the direction of the door: "Uncle Wu, I came to Zhonghemen to watch the ceremony without invitation. You don't mind, do you?"

After the voice fell, Wu Shouzhuo suddenly paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, with some surprise and some displeasure.

Because he heard that the visitor was Zhang Wuneng.

People from the Gao family faction actually appeared at the meeting of his Wu family faction. How could Wu Shouzhuo be happy?

It seems that Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang really don't take his Wu family seriously at all?

At this time, Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang both had smiles on their lips. As for Wu Shouzhuo's expression, they naturally saw it in their eyes, but it did not affect their pride at all.

After today, Zhonghe Sect will be led by the two of them, and with the support of Gao Family, even if Wu Family is dissatisfied, what can they do to them?

At this moment, the other Zhonghe Sect Hall Masters and Elders in the martial arts arena had different expressions. Some were as angry as Wu Shouzhuo, while others were secretly happy like Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang.

At this time, Ye Xiao also slightly turned his head and glanced in the direction of Zhang Wuneng.

In addition to Zhang Wuneng, there were three other people, two of whom were Zhang Wuneng's bodyguards, and one should be the Mo clan member mentioned in Wu Chuannan's news.

This person has the strength of half a step into the spirit, although he follows Zhang Wuneng, but his momentum is not inferior to Zhang Wuneng at all.

"Zhang Wuneng, this is a meeting of our Zhonghe Sect. Not only are you not a member of our Zhonghe Sect, but you are also the vice president of Tiandao Society. What qualifications do you have to come here?"

"Come on, drive them out!"

Without waiting for Wu Shouzhuo to speak, Long Jinyuan, who was loyal to the father and daughter of the Situ family, shouted sternly.

He knew very well that the purpose of Zhang Wuneng's appearance here was to support Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang. Long Jinyuan naturally would not allow Zhang Wuneng to succeed, and his words were completely logical, and he was not afraid of opposition from the crowd.
