Chapter 702: A Mess
As long as there was authority, there would be hedonistic youths. This had long since become a law.
From afar, the group of youths ran over excitedly, barging their way through the crowd and causing the guests present to dodge.
"Big Brother Wolf!"
"Hello, Big Brother Wolf!"
"Yo! Big Brother Zanian is here too! Greetings, brothers! "
Helpless, Zanian could only nod to them one by one. There were about twenty of these youths, and every one of them was from one of the Nine Great Clans or a clan of similar rank to the Nine Great Clans. Their backgrounds were profound, and when they were grouped together, no one dared to underestimate them.
Lang Shunye laughed heartily and patted everyone's shoulders, putting on the airs of a big brother as he said, "I didn't think that Shunlin and Shunfeng would call you brats here as well. Good timing! I've long since heard that you little brothers have the same imposing manner we did back in the day. Since your big brother Zanian and I are both here today, I'd like to see what you're made of. "
"No problem!"
"Just do your best!"
"Back in the White Horse Constellation, we were a little afraid, but now that we're here, who do we brothers have to fear?!"
Lang Shunye had the air of a big brother, and all the little brothers rubbed their palms together, volunteering to fight in front of the two seniors, Lang Shunye and Zanian.
Back in the day, Zanian and Lang Shunye's group had also been young, and the White Horse Constellation had caused them quite a bit of trouble. In the world of hedonistic playboys, they were quite famous.
However, the rules of the aristocratic families were quite strict, and after they turned eighteen, their families would find them a job, so they could not be allowed to continue messing around.
As a matter of fact, Zanian had gone to the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall to help out, while Lang Shunye had gone to the Law Enforcement Board. They no longer had the chance to drink and fool around all day, so they had to start working hard for their own futures.
However, there was always a need for someone to carry on the hedonistic business. As the saying went, the new waves of the Yangtze River drive the old waves, and the old waves hit the beach. These youths who had not even reached the age of eighteen were the hedonistic hedonists like Zanian, while Lang Shunye and Zanian could be considered their seniors.
The old foppish master had called the young foppish masters over to mess things up. How could these young foppish masters not be willing? After all, they had grown up watching the glorious deeds of their older brothers. Now that the old foppish masters had retired from Jianghu, it was their turn to take their place. They were eager to surpass their seniors in the glorious and great cause of being a foppish master.
A group of old foppish playboys and young foppish playboys gathered together would inevitably attract attention. Although Lang Shunye was simple and honest, he was not stupid. After chatting with them for a while, he had these young foppish playboys disperse. They mingled with the thousands of guests and disappeared in an instant.
"What do you think? These kids aren't too bad, right? Whenever I see them, I'm reminded of the days when we brothers wreaked havoc in the world. What a pity, we won't have that chance anymore, "Lang Shunye said regretfully as he took a sip of his wine.
He was the king of children, so even if he stopped fooling around, he still maintained a good relationship with these little brothers of his, so they all respected him. He was unlike Zanian, whose attitude had suddenly changed after he turned eighteen. He was now focused on building up his prestige and lineage in preparation to inherit the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall in the future.
Zanian laughed bitterly. "I'll say it again. You're much luckier than me, big-tailed wolf. You don't have as much pressure. If I were to hang out with these kids and my father found out, I'd be in big trouble."
Lang Shunye frowned. "Who asked your Feng family to have so few people? All the pressure will fall on your shoulders in the end. I heard that your family is currently helping you find a wife. The way I see it, your Feng family's monogamous system is rather unreliable. You should just go back and marry a few more wives and give birth to a bunch of sons. With so many sons to help you out, you'll have it much easier."
"A bunch of sons? Do you think we're buying groceries, coming as we please? " Zanian chuckled as he punched Lang Shunye. "Our family's rules will never change no matter what, but then again, the letter said to be cautious in all things. You've brought this bunch of living Hades here, making yourself a big target. There's no telling what people will say behind your back. They might even think that our Feng family and your Lang family have steeled themselves to get involved in this mess."
Lang Shunye shook his head. "Zanian, you're wrong about me. I've only told my two brothers, Shunlin and Shunfeng, that these kids were called over by Shunlin and Shunfeng."
Zanian was speechless. Lang Shunlin and Lang Shunfeng were Lang Shunye's cousins, both sixteen or seventeen years old. They were now running amok in the Law Realm, and this bunch of high-class good-for-nothings naturally followed their lead. As the big brother, Lang Shunye had given them a mission, so his brothers naturally had to do their best to complete it. Thus, they had called over a bunch of their brothers, resulting in the current situation.
The people of the Lang family were combative and loyal, and they had an excellent reputation in the Law Realm. From Lang Shunye to his brothers, Shunlin and Shunfeng, all of them had personalities carved out of the same mold. With a wave of their arms, they would be able to rally thousands of people.
Soon, even the usually optimistic Lang Shunye felt a headache coming on.
He had called over two of his brothers, and his brothers had called over other friends of scoundrels. These friends of scoundrels also had brothers, and when they heard that this was a matter for the two big brothers, Lang Shunye and Zanian, they all rushed over from all over the Law Realm. In a mere ten minutes or so, the Yu family's ancestral hall was filled with several hundred good-for-nothings of all sizes.
With so many good-for-nothings gathered together, the Yu family was the only one who would suffer. Besides, the Yu family's glory days were in the past, and they could not afford to offend any one of these young masters. A proper family head ascension ceremony had been turned into a gathering of good-for-nothings, and the scene was chaotic for a time.
Lang Shunye giggled, rubbing his head. "There's strength in numbers. Don't you agree, Zanian?"
What else could Zanian say at this point? Lang Shunye was using their banner, so he had no choice but to endure it no matter how uneasy he felt. This was just like the butterfly effect. Xia Fei had merely given Lang Shunye and Zanian a heads up, hoping that they would show up at this event, but he had never imagined that things would turn out like this. The effect far exceeded Xia Fei's expectations.
Suddenly, the Yu family's ancestral hall fell silent, and the crowd parted to make way for two girls.
"Greetings, Big Sis Fuping!"
"Big Sis Fuping, I didn't think that you'd come too."
The scions of the great clans were familiar with each other, and the good-for-nothings all saluted Mu Fuping the moment they saw her.
Mu Fuping was somewhat surprised. She did not think that so many good-for-nothings from the White Horse Constellation would come, and even several of her own brothers had come.
Behind her, Mu Qingping fiercely asked, "Where's Big Wolf and Zanian?"
The crowd hurriedly pointed to a corner. "Big Brother Wolf and Brother Feng are over there."
Her clothes fluttered in the wind. Mu Fuping was already an outstanding beauty, and with her special status, she attracted countless gazes and gazes as she walked through the crowd. Mu Qingping pursed her lips. She did not like this sort of scene, but Mu Fuping did not say anything.
"That's Miss Fuping of the Mu family? She's the beloved daughter of the Mu family! "
"That's right. Why is she here? I don't remember the Mu family having any relationship with the Yu family."
The inauguration ceremony of the Yu family's patriarch was getting more and more interesting. No matter how rude the good-for-nothings were, they still represented the existence of their respective clans. The guests began to speculate that the great clans of the White Horse Constellation had some special interest in the Yu family. Some of the more cowardly noticed that something was wrong and slipped out of the ancestral hall early in the morning, hiding outside to watch.
"Miss Fuping."
Zanian and Lang Shunye clasped their hands and welcomed the Mu sisters. Mu Fuping was anxious and asked, "Brother Lang, is what you said when you called me here today true?"
Before Lang Shunye could say anything, Zanian Feng said, "Miss Fuping, let's just wait and see. I've also received that letter. It was sent using an anonymous compass, sent through a spatial channel. No one can be sure if the sender is Lang Shunye or not."
Glancing at the time, Zanian said, "There's less than five minutes until the inauguration ceremony of the Yu family's patriarch. Xia Fei isn't just Miss Fuping's friend, he's also a friend of mine and Big Wolf's. If the situation described in the letter really happens, we'll be duty-bound to seek justice for Brother Xia Fei. When the time comes, we'll have to ask for Miss Fuping's help."
Zanian spoke with great propriety, and Lang Shunye repeatedly nodded. This man, who was known as the number one big bad wolf in the Law Realm, was not very good at interacting with girls. If he was the one explaining things, it would definitely sound different.
Mu Fuping lightly nodded. "Then I'll be counting on the two of you. Xia Fei saved Fuping's life before, and now that he's in trouble, Fuping will naturally do her best to help."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mu Fuping and her sister went elsewhere. After all, men and women were different, and it was very unsightly for them to stand together.
There were far too many people in the circle who were pursuing Mu Fuping, and there was no telling just how many tycoons would hate Lang Shunye and Zanian just by standing there. Femme fatale, though this was unfair to Mu Fuping, the effect it had had was very real.
…
The time had come, and a solemn tune was played in the ancestral hall. The thousands of guests quieted down, for Yu Hua's inauguration ceremony was about to begin.
Yu Jin and another elder of the Yu family, Yu Zhiyuan, went up on stage together. There was also a representative from the Law Enforcement Board, Mu Qianling, who would represent the Board in recognizing Yu Hua as the legitimate patriarch.
After clearing his throat, Yu Jin put on a smile and said, "Many thanks to all the distinguished guests who have condescended to visit our Yu Family. As the family's Elder, I welcome all of you on behalf of the Yu Family."
After a pause, Yu Jin continued, "As everyone knows, the previous patriarch of the Yu family, Yujiang, has passed away. Everyone in the family cherishes the patriarch's memory and is grateful for everything he has done for the family, but the family cannot be without a leader for a single day. Through the unanimous decision of the Yu family's elders, the patriarch's great-great-great-grandson, the Great Law Emperor War God Yuhua, will take over the Yu family!"
Warm applause came from the audience, and Yu Jin looked around with satisfaction.
When the applause ended, Yu Jin was just about to invite Yu Hua out when he heard a snickering voice say, "The corpse of your Yu family's patriarch hasn't even turned cold yet, and the murderer hasn't been found yet. I'm afraid it's not the right time to appoint a new patriarch!"
Uh …
There was an awkward silence in the ancestral hall. Yu Jin's face was ashen. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, the audience suddenly burst into loud boos.
"Shh …"
"The members of the Yu Family are all ingrates. Instead of thinking about how to avenge the former head of the family, they start to fight for power!"
"Yes! A bunch of ingrates! "
The jeering grew louder and louder, and only then did Yu Jin realize that there were hundreds of teenagers mixed among the guests. Every one of them was shaking their heads, and it was obvious that they were not easy to get along with.
Yu Jin flew into a rage. These teenagers were clearly here to cause trouble!
"Men! Get these young masters out of here! This is the Yu Family's grand ceremony! How dare you act so presumptuously! "Yu Jin had no idea who these good-for-nothings were, and he actually wanted to use violence against these young masters!
This way, he had basically run into a knife's edge, and curses rang out incessantly.
* Whoosh! *
An exquisite dagger flew out from the crowd, heading straight for Yu Jin's face!
