Si Xi only had a small cottage in Pu Ban City, while Si Wen Ming lived in the Magi Palace. Therefore, neither Si Hao nor Si Wen Ming had a nice place to receive guests. Therefore, Ji Hao took over the task of receiving guests. The Fine Jade Snow Palace was fully opened, and all maids and servants began working. Over ten-thousand earls and marquis, and over a hundred thousand servants gathered in the Fine Jade Snow Palace, drinking to their heart's content.
Jade coins flowed out like tidewater, traded for countless delicious wines, lambs, beef, and geese from the markets in Pu Ban City. The aroma of grilled meat transformed into dense smoke, rising straight into the sky. The aroma of wine and grilled meat spread out for hundreds of miles, intoxicating people.
Ji Hao smilingly followed behind Si Xi and Si Wen Ming, warmly greeting all earls and marquis who were introduced to him by Si Xi and Si Wen Ming. Meanwhile, he memorized their backgrounds, such as the locations of their enfeoffments, which clans they belonged to, and how many young people from their families were in important positions in the Magi Palace.
This was connections, the rarest of connections.
Si Xi and Si Wen Ming were fair, just, generous, and graceful. Si Xi was in charge of the construction of all rivers in the world, while Si Wen Ming was in charge of the Magi Palace. They had been dealing with earls and marquis from large clans all year round. Therefore, they were quite close to each other.
Normally, it was impossible for Ji Hao to get to know so many earls and marquis. Firstly, he didn't have much time to travel around, and secondly, even if he had time to visit them one by one, these earls and marquis would only say a few polite words to him at most, and would never accept him easily.
After all, he had just become Earl Yao a couple of years ago, which meant that he didn't have a strong foundation and influence.
But this time, he humiliated Wuzhi Qi, that old monster, in front of all these earls and marquis, and forced Gong Gong Wuyou to seal Wuzhi Qi with dark ice himself. This made those earls and marquis witness Ji Hao's' courage 'and' power '.
Courage was nothing. In the four wastelands and the Midland, there were countless hot-blooded young men. Even Junior Magi dared to pull out their weapons and fight against Magus Kings. Therefore, those earls and marquis never lacked brave and courageous people.
Nevertheless, Ji Hao was brave and powerful enough to embarrass Wuzhi Qi, and even made Gong Gong Wuyou leave in embarrassment. Therefore, these earls and marquis should respect Ji Hao more. Even though Ji Hao was a young marquis, he was still worthy of being valued by these earls and marquis.
Added with Si Xi and Si Wen Ming's recommendation, Zhu Rong and Candle Dragon Gui's help, and the fact that Ji Hao had chosen the palace in Pu Ban City to host the banquet, all earls and marquis who attended this banquet sincerely accepted Ji Hao. They all left their magic talismans with Ji Hao, which would allow them to keep in touch with each other.
Ji Xia followed Ji Hao, and Si Wen Ming introduced Ji Xia to the other earls and marquises over and over again.
Ji Hao's father, Earl Yao's biological father, this identity alone was worthy of the respect of all earls and marquis on the scene.
Ji Liao's disciple, a fierce warrior under Emperor Xuanyuan's command. Ji Liao had merged with Ji Liao's inherited divine pearl and attained the power of a nine-star Divine Magus overnight. In the future, with the help of Ji Liao's inherited divine pearl, he might even break into the level of Supreme Magus!
Hearing this legendary story, many earls and marquis felt a deep respect for Ji Xia. They took the initiative to toast to Ji Xia and greet him. Now, they valued Ji Xia, and even Ji Hao, a little bit more.
In this world, all large clans attached great importance to bloodlines, the foundation and origin of a family.
If a family had a powerful ancestor, even if it had fallen temporarily, the other large clans wouldn't dare to look down on it. As long as the bloodline of the family still existed, this family would have the hope to rise again.
Ji Xia and Ji Hao's ancestor was a fierce warrior under Emperor Xuanyuan's command, a Master Supreme Magus, Ji Liao. Therefore, Ji Xia and Ji Hao's identities were largely different. This proved that Earl Yao territory, which was still a bit weak at the moment, had the potential to become strong and prosperous in the future!
The level of Supreme Magus …
By now, among all large human clans and families, only three to five large clans possessed the bloodlines of the three ancient emperors, as everyone knew, and had Supreme-level ancestors.
If Ji Xia truly became a Supreme Magus in the future, Ji Hao's Earl Yao territory would be able to be mentioned in the same breath as those few large clans with the bloodline of the three ancient emperors.
Therefore, after Ji Xia's identity was revealed by Si Wen Ming, those earls and marquis were even more friendly to Ji Xia and Ji Hao.
Soon, a few earls and marquis who came from ancient large clans squeezed their way over and took the initiative to toast and talk to Ji Xia. One of their ancestors was a powerful warrior under Emperor Xuanyuan's command. Therefore, Ji Liao and their ancestors were truly comrades-in-arms, who could entrust their lives to each other!
Because of this relationship between their ancestors, Ji Xia and the few powerful earls and marquis immediately gathered together, chatting and laughing. They talked about the friendship between their ancestors, talked about the current situations of their clans, and praised Ji Hao for slapping Wuzhi Qi's face. Then, the friendship between them naturally emerged.
More and more earls and marquis heard the news and came over. The wine stored in Ji Hao's Fine Jade Snow Palace had already been emptied. Therefore, he hurriedly sent people to purchase more wine.
Roughly estimating, at least eighty percent of all earls and marquis who came to Pu Ban City to meet Emperor Shun had gathered in Fine Jade Snow Palace. Ji Hao couldn't help but be shocked by the charisma of Si Xi and Si Wen Ming. They had actually managed to attract so many earls and marquis from Midland!
While chatting with those earls and marquis, Zhu Rong abruptly pulled Ji Hao's sleeve and led him out of the main hall, to a plum grove outside the hall.
"Ji Hao, I have already returned to Southern Wasteland, and I have to take this clone back as well. Before I leave, I want to tell you something. "
Zhu Rong took Ji Hao to a thousand-year-old plum tree. The branches of the tree were covered in snowflakes, and under the strong branches, Zhu Rong Tianming was standing there with a big smile on his face. Abruptly seeing Ji Hao, Zhu Rong Tianming stopped smiling, then quickly turned even brighter.
"Tong Gong has been cultivating behind closed doors, and I have to protect him. At the same time, there are some things in Southern Wasteland that only I can handle." Zhu Rong stood between Ji Hao and Zhu Rong Tianming and said gently, "I will leave Man Man to you. You take good care of her … Don't let that old bastard Candle Dragon Gui's female disciple bully her. You can't be impartial, you have to lean towards Man Man."
"Someone from the Zhu Rong Family has to stay in Pu Ban City, and when something happens, someone has to speak up. Tong Gong has been cultivating behind closed doors, and can't come out. Therefore, I brought Seventh here. From now on, you two are like brothers. Ji Hao, you have to help Seventh when something happens. After all, this is the first time for him to leave Southern Wasteland. "
Zhu Rong knocked on Zhu Rong Tianming's head and said gently, "Seventh's mother died when he was young, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his other brothers. Therefore, Ji Hao, you have to get along well with Seventh. "
Zhu Rong then stared at Zhu Rong Tianming and said, "Seventh, Ji Hao is much more promising than you. In the future, you have to ask him for advice."
Zhu Rong Tianming grinned and hurriedly nodded.
Ji Hao grinned embarrassedly, looked at Zhu Rong Tianming and helplessly agreed.
