As an old member of the Six Fan School, Ling Zhen had been in the position of chief of detectives for so many years, even if he did not choose a side, which was enough to prove his ability and means.
He knew that Tie Wuqing and Su Xin were the focus of the younger generation of the Tie Family, so he was very respectful to them.
However, Su Xin and Tie Wuqing did not have a trace of arrogance, and they were terrifyingly scheming.
Ling Zhen knew that the kind of young and arrogant young people was not scary.
What was scary was that Tie Wuqing and Su Xin, who were obviously powerful and held high positions, could put down their pride and greet people with a smile. This kind of people was the scariest.
Ling Zhen smiled and said, "This is the first time you two have come to Luoyang Prefecture, so I have arranged a banquet. Please come with me."
Su Xin and Tie Wuqing nodded. A guest should follow the host's wishes. In any case, they would just follow Ling Zhen.
Ling Zhen had already prepared a banquet in the Fenghua House, the largest brothel in Luoyang Prefecture, and there were singers and other entertainers to welcome Su Xin and Tie Wuqing.
The Fenghua House used to be a place where only the royal family and high-ranking officials of the State of Jin were qualified to visit. However, when the State of Jin was destroyed by the Zhou Kingdom, some of the female members of the royal family and high-ranking officials of the State of Jin were thrown into the Fenghua House to flirt with them. It was a kind of irony.
Even now, the ancestors of some of the singers in the Fenghua House were from the State of Jin.
Ling Zhen led Su Xin and Tie Wuqing to the top floor, where several deputy chief of detectives of the Six Fan School of Henan Province were accompanying them.
During the banquet, the Deputy Chief Detectives were very flattering to Su Xin and Tie Wuqing, with a flattering look on their faces.
However, their flattery was different from Ling Zhen's. Ling Zhen was just being tactful and polite, while they were being utilitarian.
Ling Zhen was old, and it would not take long for him to step down from the position of chief of detectives of the Henan Province. Who would take over the position after that?
There were 49 prefectures in the Zhou Kingdom, and there was a serious shortage of chief detectives in the Primordial Soul Realm. Therefore, they needed to select from those in the Divinity Realm.
Previously, Tie Wuqing and Su Xin had been appointed as chief of detectives at the Divinity Realm, and they had done a good job. Therefore, Six Fan School was confident.
After Tie Wuqing took over as the chief of detectives of Bashu Province, Six Fan School appointed three more Divinity Level martial artists to be the chief of detectives of Bashu Province.
Since the precedent had been set, they would definitely have a good chance to take over the position of chief of detectives in the future since they had served as deputy chief of detectives in Henan Province for such a long time.
Since that was the case, they naturally had to curry favor with Tie Wuqing and Su Xin, these two people who had a close relationship with the Tie family. They looked forward to them putting in a good word for them in front of the higher-ups in the headquarters of Shengjing City in the future and helping them get promoted.
However, Tie Wuqing and Su Xin acted as if they did not hear the compliments and hints from the crowd, and easily brushed them off.
They were here to participate in the judging of the Luoyang Challenge, not to meddle in the power dispute of Six Fan School in Henan Province.
Ling Zhen had not retired yet. If Su Xin and Tie Wuqing were to get involved, Ling Zhen might bear a grudge against them.
Although Ling Zhen was neutral now, if Su Xin and Tie Wuqing offended him, it was hard to say which faction he would belong to in the future.
After the crowd finished eating and drinking, Ling Zhen clapped his hands again. Suddenly, a group of singers and dancers came up to dance for the crowd.
These singers and dancers were all beautiful and had seductive figures. Their dancing was as elegant as fairies. Even some of the Divinity Level martial artists present could not help but be attracted by them.
Ling Zhen laughed and said, "These are the stars of Fenghua Brothel. They only dance three times a year, and each time they have to perform a different dance and a different song.
This is the last time they will perform this year. I have specially reserved it for Lord Su and Lord Tie. "
Tie Wuqing chuckled and said, "Thank you, Lord Ling."
Su Xin also praised, "Their dancing is so graceful that it's rare in the world. It's all thanks to Lord Ling that we can see such beautiful dancing."
Although the two of them were flattering Ling Zhen, they really did not take the singers seriously.
Neither of them were the kind of people who were in a rush for sex. This kind of beauty temptation really didn't have much effect on them.
At least, Su Xin could enjoy the beautiful dancing, but Tie Wuqing did not seem to care. It was obvious that he was not interested in the dancers.
However, at that moment, there was a commotion downstairs, accompanied by the screams of a few ladies from Fenghua Brothel.
"Damn it! Do you know who's sitting inside? That's His Royal Highness King Tai! I asked you guys to perform a dance, but you guys are dawdling. Do you have a death wish? "
A Divinity Level martial artist with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks was scolding the manager of Fenghua Brothel in an extremely arrogant manner.
The manager of Fenghua Brothel was a mature and charming woman in her thirties.
When she heard this person's words, she hurriedly said, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to give you face. It's just that the top performers of the Fenghua House only perform three times a year. We've already performed the last time today. If we continue to practice and arrange the music, we won't be able to complete it in a few months."
The martial artist with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks snorted and said, "Who cares if you're going to perform a new dance? It doesn't matter what you dance. Let them drink with His Highness King Tai. "
The manager of Fenghua Brothel hesitated and said, "But they're all drinking with the masters from Six Fan School upstairs. They can't leave now."
The martial artist with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks said in disdain, "So what if they're from Six Fan School? His Highness King Tai is still waiting. Even Six Fan School will have to give way! "
The martial artist with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks pushed the woman away and walked straight upstairs.
At this time, Tie Wuqing and Su Xin, who were upstairs, could naturally hear what the martial artist said clearly. Ling Zhen also heard it. The expressions of the three of them were a little ugly.
In particular, he said 'So what if you're from Six Fan School'. He said this in front of the three Divine Transformation Realm cultivators of Six Fan School. He must be tired of living.
With a faint smile on his face, Su Xin said, "Is this how the subordinates of His Highness King Tai behave? If that's the case, then I don't think we need to be careful of him. "
Tie Wuqing shook his head and said, "This person may be a rogue cultivator recruited directly from Jianghu. He has limited knowledge, but he is a villain who can only make a fool of himself. Ji Yancheng's real confidants are not so idiotic."
While they were talking, the Divinity Realm martial artist walked up the stairs. As he walked, he said, "You're from Six Fan School. Give me the singers. His Highness King Tai is downstairs."
He directly pushed the door open, but he was immediately stared at by Su Xin and the other two martial artists at Divine Transformation Realm coldly, making him swallow his arrogant words.
For a martial artist at Divine Palace Realm like him, who had not broken through to Divine Transformation Realm for many years, Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were truly like heaven. They were invincible martial arts masters.
Even though his master was King Tai, Ji Yancheng, he did not dare to be too rash.
Therefore, he coughed twice, cupped one hand in the other before his chest, and said, "His Highness King Tai is entertaining guests downstairs. I wonder if you can give me these leading dancers?"
The way he saw it, while the people from Six Doors were all warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm, Ji Yancheng, the King of Tai, was a prince. As his subjects, they had to show him some respect.
However, as soon as he said this, Su Xin and Tie Wuqing both sneered. Even Ling Zhen, who had always been very slippery, did not say anything.
Now, Su Xin was certain that this martial artist was probably a Jianghu rogue cultivator newly recruited by Ji Yancheng. Moreover, he was the kind of person who did not know much. He thought that Ji Yancheng, as a prince, must be more powerful than Six Fan School.
Little did they know that the Six Fan School did not want to and could not completely get involved in the fight for the position of Crown Prince. Otherwise, once Tie Ao, the Divine Eagle, expressed his support for a certain prince, the others would probably be scared half to death.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the martial artist could not help but say, "What do you mean by this? Are you not giving face to His Highness King Tai? "
Su Xin sneered and said, "Face is earned, not given. Go back and tell His Highness King Tai that if he wants dancers, he can come up and ask us for them."
The martial artist coldly snorted and pointed at Su Xin and the others. "How dare you not even give face to His Highness King Tai."
Su Xin's expression turned cold as he slapped out with his palm. The powerful Qi produced a sonic boom, and the cultivator was slapped so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood. A look of horror appeared on his face.
Su Xin faintly said, "Next time, think before you speak. Don't forget who you are. How dare a dog be so arrogant in front of us?"
The martial artist covered his face with a look of hatred in his eyes. However, he did not dare to say another word and quickly ran downstairs.
Tie Wuqing did not say anything about Su Xin's actions. Even Ling Zhen, who had always been prepared to be a good guy, did not say anything.
If King Tai, Ji Yancheng, had come in person, Ling Zhen would have given him face. However, a mere Innate Stage martial artist dared to talk nonsense in front of three martial arts masters in the Divine Transformation Realm. Did he have a death wish?
Even if he was King Tai, Ji Yancheng's people, Six Doors was not his vassal. If we were to give in just because you sent someone over, we would lose face.
Therefore, even if Su Xin and the others knew that Ji Yancheng might not know what the martial artist had done, they still did not give face to the other party. This was related to the face of Six Doors, so they could not give in on such a matter.
After less than a quarter of an hour, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps downstairs. A low and cold voice was heard. "I heard that someone did not give face to me. Is this Prince's face so worthless? "
A burly, handsome, and masculine young man led a group of people up the stairs. The martial artist from before was by his side.
In addition to the left side of his face that had been slapped by Su Xin, the right side of his face was also swollen. It was obvious that Ji Yancheng had also slapped him, blaming him for causing trouble.
