Chapter 587: Arrogant at first but respectful later

"Satisfied?" After Jiang Yu left, Wu Fan looked at Xu Ziqi and said, his expression was a little serious.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this." Xu Ziqi said apologetically.

Xu Ziqi didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yu. When she saw that the other party invited her to dance, she resisted from the bottom of her heart and wanted to refuse. However, there was a huge gap between her and Jiang Yu. If she refused directly, it would not only anger Jiang Yu, but also fail to achieve her goal.

Therefore, Xu Ziqi thought of using Wu Fan beside her to help her as a shield. When she saw Wu Fan coming, Jiang's father and son personally greeted him. She thought that Wu Fan and Jiang Yu had a good relationship. If she was Wu Fan's female companion, Jiang Yu should give up pestering her.

However, Xu Ziqi didn't expect that the relationship between Wu Fan and Jiang Yu was so bad, and because of her behavior just now, it seemed to aggravate the conflict between Wu Fan and Jiang Yu.

"Just apologize?" Wu Fan said lightly.

"Then what do you want?" Xu Ziqi asked.

"Since I have become the shield, I should enjoy the due treatment." Wu Fan said.

"Ah?" Xu Ziqi looked at Wu Fan with some vigilance.

"Ah what? Bring me a glass of wine." Wu Fan said: "Also, didn't you say you were my female companion? Then you should follow me wherever I go tonight."

"Ah?"

"What? Go quickly."

"Oh." Xu Ziqi responded sullenly and walked to the distance to get wine for Wu Fan.

"It seems not bad." Xu Ziqi said to herself after she reacted.

Compared to dancing with Jiang Yu and other young men, Xu Ziqi felt that this was pretty good now, at least she didn't have to worry about being taken advantage of.

When Xu Ziqi returned to Wu Fan with the wine, Sister Zhao had already left, but Wu Fan was not alone, and there were several old men around him.

Xu Ziqi had noticed these old men before. It can be said that they were the most popular people at the party before Wu Fan came. Sister Zhao said that they were from a circle of practitioners. Xu Ziqi had heard of people in that circle before, but she had never met them. To her, that circle was very mysterious and powerful. Even those wealthy people did not dare to offend people in that circle easily. Many people were even proud to know people in that circle.

Just now, Xu Ziqi noticed that many people were secretly observing those old men and wanted to say a few words to them, but most people did not dare to. Of course, there were also people who went over, but those people were all very respectful without exception, which showed that those old men had a high status.

However, these people were reserved before, and even the top rich people in Jiangzhou toasted them, and they were serious and even a little arrogant. When they were next to Wu Fan, they were completely different, with full smiles on their faces. Xu Ziqi even found some awe in their smiles.

Xu Ziqi thought she saw it wrong, but after a closer look, she was sure that she was not wrong.

A group of people who made others afraid and wanted to communicate but dared not disturb them rashly, would actually behave so restrained and fearful in front of Wu Fan, which was beyond Xu Ziqi's imagination.

"Since the last meeting, I have always wanted to see Young Master Wu again, but I have been entangled in worldly affairs and have no chance. Today I finally met Young Master Wu here." Elder Tianhe said with a smile.

"I have heard of Young Master Wu for a long time. Today I have the chance to meet him. He is indeed a rare talent."

"Young Master Wu can come to our Feiyun Palace when he has time. Our Palace Master has admired Young Master Wu for a long time and hopes to make friends with him."

Several old men talked to Wu Fan with smiles on their faces, which was completely different from their previous serious expressions when facing other people.

People in the secular world pay much attention to the things in the circle of cultivators, but they don't know as much as those who originally belong to this circle. Although the people of the five major families in Jiangzhou know some news about the shocking changes in Chiyun Palace, they are not clear about the specific situation. However, people from other sects near Jiangzhou are different. They know more details than the people of the major families in Jiangzhou. They know that the Palace Master of Chiyun Palace has changed, and they also know the important role played by Wu Fan in it.

Facing such a powerful person like Wu Fan, other sects in Jiangzhou naturally want to make friends with Wu Fan if there is no conflict of interest, or at least show enough goodwill. These old men are the outer sect elders of several sects in Jiangzhou. In the eyes of Jiang Fanzhou and others, their status is already very high, but compared with Wu Fan, who can change the fate of a sect, it is far from enough. Therefore, when they face Wu Fan, they still maintain respect and awe.

No one wants to offend a person like Wu Fan who has a mysterious identity and strong strength.

"I am also very happy to meet you all. If there is a chance, I will definitely visit your sects." Wu Fan said.

Wu Fan also felt the goodwill shown by these people. From Liu Yan'er's mouth, Wu Fan had long known that people in the circle of practitioners were cruel. They were more cruel than people in the secular world. Maybe they are brothers today, but they will tear their faces tomorrow and want to kill each other.

However, Wu Fan had no conflict with these people in front of him. While keeping a vigilant mind, he naturally would not reject the goodwill they expressed.

At this time, Xu Ziqi came over with a glass of wine, Wu Fan took it from her and gestured to the elders: "I'll toast you all."

These were all outer sect elders of their respective sects, responsible for handling worldly affairs, so drinking was a piece of cake.

Looking at Xu Ziqi standing beside Wu Fan obediently, the elders seemed to understand something.

"Then, Young Master Wu, you go ahead and we won't bother you." Elder Tianhe said.

The other elders had similar ideas. Before leaving, everyone nodded and greeted Xu Ziqi with a smile, which made Xu Ziqi feel flattered.

"Did I bother you?" Seeing that he had arrived, the elders left. Xu Ziqi thought that her presence might have disturbed Wu Fan's conversation.

"No." Wu Fan shook his head and said, "There's not much to talk about with them."

Although those people were very nice to Wu Fan just now, they all have their own status, and Wu Fan just established his prestige with the Scarlet Cloud Palace. Who knows what they are thinking? They may want to get closer to Wu Fan, but they are more likely to be wary. Jiangzhou is so small and has so many resources. If an uncertain factor like Wu Fan appears, people from other sects may not welcome him.
