Before they came, the people of the Mingyu branch had already expected that the Mountain River Branch would have experts helping them. Therefore, when they saw Liuyue, although they were a little surprised, it was only a surprise and not much surprise. Even if Liuyue was the grand-disciple of the Lord Black Buddha and had unfathomable cultivation strength, they were not afraid. But the people of the Mingyu branch did not expect that there would be someone else besides Liuyue.
Who was this man in white?
They did not know him.
They had never seen him before.
What made them even more puzzled was that not only did this person not have the slightest bit of cultivation, but he also didn't have any good fortune. His body was extremely weak, but Fei Kui beside him was carefully serving him like a servant.
They all knew that Féquy was a person who handled business for the Lord Black Buddha. Although his identity was not that great, but with the relationship with the Lord Black Buddha, no one dared to easily offend him. But now he was serving someone like a servant. What was the identity of this young man?
To tell the truth.
If this man in white had some profound cultivation, or perhaps some powerful good fortune, the people of the Mingyu branch would not be too afraid. But it was the fact that this person had nothing on him, which made them a little puzzled.
The people of the Mingyu branch thought that since Féquy was serving him like a servant, it meant that this person's identity was not simple.
Now that he had appeared in the Mountain River Branch, and on this day, it was clear that he had come for the Mingyu branch.
It was very likely that he was someone arranged by the Lord Black Buddha.
However, why would the Lord Black Buddha arrange such a weak person with nothing here?
Or was it that this person was unfathomable and they could not see through him?
But.
Was this possible?
The people of the Mingyu branch were constantly probing the man in white with their divine sense, but no matter how they probed, there was only one result, and that was that the man in white really had no cultivation, no good fortune, and could be said to be poor.
However, they did not believe that the Lord Black Buddha would send a weak ordinary person to deal with the Mingyu branch.
There must be something fishy about this.
The twenty or so False Earth Immortals led by Zhan Zhiming in the Mingyu branch thought so.
The Creation Realm prodigies like Lian Hao, Shang Gong, and Zhong Xing also thought so.
The dozen or so Dixian, including the dozen or so Chi Xiao people, could not figure it out either. Not to mention them, even the leader of the Mingyu branch, Tan Tong, was the same.
However, he did not show it on his face. He sat upright on the chair and raised his hand to hold a cup of fragrant tea. He lowered his head and sipped lightly. He smiled and said, "Brother Feng Xu, it seems that other than Miss Liuyue, your Mountain River Branch has another distinguished guest today. I wonder if you can introduce him."
When Tan Tong's words were heard, the expressions of Grandpa Feng Xu and the others were a little strange. They were more or less a little embarrassed.
Introduction?
How should he introduce them?
Could it be that he was a liar who pretended to be the King?
If that was the case, they would definitely be mocked by the Mingyu branch. If word got out, others would think that the Mountain River Branch found a fake King to boost their courage because they were afraid. At that time, the Mountain River Branch would lose a lot of face.
Grandpa Feng Xu was not afraid of losing face. What he was afraid of was that this matter would have a negative impact if word got out.
Although most of the red flag branches in the Yan Luo Kingdom had sided with the black-hearted master, Zhou Taihe.
However, there were also some red flag branches that supported the Lord Black Buddha. Moreover, some of these branches were not so firm. They were hesitating and wavering.
If word got out at this time that the Mountain River Branch found a fake King to boost their courage because they were afraid, wouldn't this be telling others that the Lord Black Buddha was no longer able to compete with the black-hearted master and had begun to panic? Those red flag branches that were originally hesitating and wavering would most likely side with the black-hearted master after hearing this news.
What should they do now?
It was too late to drive him away, and there was no point in doing so.
Most importantly, Grandpa Feng Xu knew Tan Tong too well. Even if he drove this guy away now, Tan Tong would most likely not agree. He would definitely pursue this matter to the end. At that time, when the identity of the liar who pretended to be the King was exposed, it would most likely cause the Mountain River Branch to be even more embarrassed and the negative impact it would cause would only be greater.
"Branch Leader Tan, I haven't had the time to introduce you. I'm really sorry."
At this time, Liuyue stood up and walked to Gu Qingfeng's side. When she raised her hand, she quietly made a handprint on Gu Qingfeng's back. She casually said, "This is Young Master Gu who came with me."
As soon as she said this, Grandpa Feng Xu frowned and looked at Liuyue in confusion. At the same time, Liuyue secretly transmitted her voice, "Grandpa, it's too late for us to drive him away now. If the identity of him pretending to be the King is spread out, it would have a negative impact on us. It would also spoil my grandmaster's plan. The only thing we can do now is to let him stay here. Please don't worry, I have already sealed his acupoints. He won't be able to speak."
Grandpa Feng Xu secretly nodded. He knew that this was the only thing they could do now.
"Moreover, him sitting here may not be a bad thing for us. If my guess is correct, the people of Mingyu's branch will definitely treat him as an expert sent by my grandmaster. Even though he doesn't seem to have any cultivation or good fortune, it's precisely because of this that the people of Mingyu's branch won't be able to figure him out. This is because they won't believe that my grandmaster would send an extremely weak ordinary person here. Moreover, Tan Tong is not only cautious, but also suspicious. With such a mysterious and unknown person here that he can't figure out, he shouldn't dare to act rashly. This is extremely beneficial for us."
"But … is this feasible?"
Grandpa Feng Xu was a little worried. He was also surprised by Liuyue's bold actions.
"Right now, we can only try everything we can. Grandpa, find an opportunity to change the topic. Try not to let Tan Tong notice this person, so as to avoid arousing suspicion."
The secret transmission between Liuyue and Grandpa Feng Xu only lasted for an instant. No one else knew about it.
"Young master Gu? And it's the young master Gu who came together with Miss Liuyue. Hehe. "
In the main hall, Tan Tong held a teacup and raised his head. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Qingfeng with a smile on his face. It was as if he wanted to see through him. He said, "I wonder which young master Gu is it?"
"It's just young master Gu. That's all. Why does Branch Leader Tan need to ask so much?"
Liuyue replied indifferently. At the same time, she secretly transmitted her voice to Gu Qingfeng. She threatened, "I have already sealed your acupoints. You can't open your mouth to speak now. However, don't be nervous and don't be afraid. As long as you sit here and continue drinking your wine, you can pretend that nothing happened. If you dare to make any other moves, I will kill you on the spot!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at her and shook his head slightly. He seemed to be a little helpless. He changed his posture and crossed his legs again. Then, he looked at Tan Tong and asked, "You are Tan Tong?"
