"Big brother, this is my close friend, Zhuge Shanzhen!" Deng Jia only mentioned Jiang Fei's pseudonym to his big brother. He did not mention Jiang Fei's identity.
"Brother Zhuge, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time," Deng Tong said.
"Brother Zhuge, this is my big brother, Deng Tong." Deng Jia turned around and introduced Jiang Fei.
"Hmm!" Jiang Fei nodded slightly. His indifference made Deng Tong very unhappy. However, they were in front of the chief's father's house, so he did not lose his temper.
"Alright, second brother, I'll go in first!" Seeing that Jiang Fei did not give him face, Deng Tong immediately turned around and left. If it were not for today's special occasion, he would definitely not let Jiang Fei go so easily.
"Hehe, big brother, please go ahead!" Deng Jia smiled slightly. He did not care about the relationship between his big brother and Jiang Fei. In fact, he even hoped that it would not happen. After all, Jiang Fei only needed to support him.
"Hmph!" Deng Tong snorted coldly and then walked through the door.
"Brother Zhuge, let's go in too!" Deng Jia said to Jiang Fei.
"Okay!" Jiang Fei smiled slightly and then followed Deng Jia into the chief's house.
After entering the house, Jiang Fei found that there were already a lot of people inside. Almost all the experts of the Water Leopard of Winnowing Basket Clan were present.
"Hehe, now that you mention it, it's quite lively." Jiang Fei laughed.
"Yeah, this gathering is to prepare for the selection of the next chief. Basically, all the influential people in the clan are here," Deng Jia said with a smile.
"Why? Do you also want to be the chief? "Jiang Fei was not a fool. He had experienced so many ups and downs, so there was nothing he did not know.
"Hehe, brother Zhuge, I do want to participate in the election, but I'm not strong enough, and I don't have any influence …" Deng Jia pretended to be in a difficult position.
"Hahaha …" Jiang Fei laughed. How could he not know what Deng Jia was planning at this time? This brat probably already knew his identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have flattered him like this. Presumably, his previous enthusiasm towards him was all an emotional investment, right?
However, although Jiang Fei saw through Deng Jia's intentions, he did not get angry. Everything Deng Jia did was fair and square. Could you say that it was wrong for him to be nice to you and warm to you?
Moreover, Deng Jia had never asked for Jiang Fei's help. Even if Jiang Fei did not help him, he would not complain at all. Deng Jia played with favors, and he was sure that Jiang Fei would not ignore him.
"Hehe, kid, not bad!" After laughing enough, Jiang Fei pointed at Deng Jia and laughed.
"Brother Zhuge, please help me!" Deng Jia said sincerely.
"Alright! I'll help you with this. " Jiang Fei nodded. He did not need to do anything specific to help Deng Jia. All he needed to do was to identify himself when the time came.
"Thank you, Brother Zhuge!" Deng Jia bowed to Jiang Fei.
"Hehe, what's the point of saying that? We're friends!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"That's right, friend! In the future, if Brother Zhuge has any requests, I, Deng Jia, will definitely do my best! "Deng Jia said seriously.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go in!" Jiang Fei smiled, then walked in.
After passing through three courtyards, Jiang Fei and Deng Jia arrived at the garden where the banquet was held. Nearly a hundred tables had been set up there, with cups and plates on them. All that was left was for the dishes to be served. Moreover, many of the tables were filled with people. However, these people who had arrived earlier were obviously of lower status.
"Brother Zhuge, let's go sit over there first." Deng Jia brought Jiang Fei to the small hall next door for tea. Although some of the people had already taken their seats in the garden, it was obvious that the main characters would not show up so early.
After a while, a few more people came into the small hall. The leader was a young man, and beside him was an old man.
"Second brother, you're early!" The young man greeted Deng Jia when he saw him.
"Hehe, fifth brother, you're not late either!" Deng Jia smiled, then greeted the old man. "Great elder, long time no see!"
"Hehe, second young master, you've always been elusive. It's not easy to find you!" The great elder said with a fake smile. This time, he was obviously supporting his son-in-law, Deng Hong, in the election of the clan leader. Therefore, he naturally did not have a good attitude towards Deng Jia, who was a competitor.
"Hehe …" Deng Jia smiled and ignored the great elder. Instead, he turned to Deng Hong and said, "Fifth brother, it's still early. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"
"Sure, I haven't had tea and chatted with second brother for a long time." Deng Hong was very close to Deng Jia.
"By the way, second brother, this is?" Deng Hong looked at Jiang Fei and asked.
"This is my good friend, Brother Zhuge," Deng Jia said.
"Oh, it's brother Zhuge. I've heard a lot about you!" Deng Hong said politely.
"You're too kind, Fifth Young Master. I'm just a nobody." Jiang Fei smiled, then continued to drink his tea. Obviously, he was not interested in these people.
Deng Hong tried to test Jiang Fei a few more times, but he realized that Jiang Fei was ignoring him. Therefore, he stopped asking for trouble. On the other hand, the great elder was very dissatisfied when he saw that Jiang Fei did not give face to his son-in-law.
"Hmph! An outsider dares to be so arrogant in our Water Leopard Clan. After this election is over and my son-in-law becomes the clan leader, I'll teach you a lesson! "The great elder thought to himself.
"Hehe, you still want to teach me a lesson … Then I'll play with you later." Jiang Fei laughed in his heart. He had activated Mind Reading. Naturally, the great elder's thoughts could not be hidden from him.
After about an hour and a half, most of the guests in the garden had arrived. At this time, Deng Hong stood up and said, "Second brother, it's getting late. Let's go."
"Yes! Indeed! "Deng Jia looked at the sky outside, then also stood up and said.
"Second brother, after you!" Deng Hong smiled.
"Alright!" Deng Jia nodded, then said to Jiang Fei, "Brother Zhuge, let's go first."
"Okay!" Jiang Fei stood up and followed Deng Jia out of the small hall.
"Brother Zhuge, this way please." Deng Jia led Jiang Fei to the main table. At this time, his eldest brother, Deng Tong, was already seated. Deng Jia led Jiang Fei to the seat at the end.
"Are we sitting here?" Jiang Fei asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's interesting to keep a low profile." Deng Jia laughed. What he wanted was the effect of a brilliant feat. Therefore, he took the initiative to sit at the end. Otherwise, with his status as the second son, he would definitely sit at the front.
Not long after Jiang Fei and the others sat down, the third young master, Deng Yuan, also walked over with a few people. He did not stand on ceremony and directly sat at the side of the main table. Obviously, he was a little arrogant because his father, the clan leader, doted on him.
