"Big Brother, Second Brother, Fifth Brother, you're here early!" Deng Yuan said with a smile, but he seemed a little sarcastic.
"Third Brother, look at you. Are you sure you're going to win?" Deng Tong, the eldest brother, asked expressionlessly.
"What do you mean I'm going to win? It's all up to Father to make the decision!" Deng Yuan said with a complacent look on his face. The old patriarch loved him very much. In his opinion, obtaining the patriarch's throne was simply a matter of certainty.
"The patriarch is here!" At this time, the old patriarch, Deng Tianguo, walked into the garden with two people.
Swoosh … Everyone stood up to greet him, except for Jiang Fei. He was still sitting there, looking at Deng Tianguo calmly.
Deng Tianguo was the top expert in the Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket. He had reached the Immortal Level 200 years ago. His combat level was more than 58 million. He was about to enter the Intermediate Immortal Level.
"Hey! Boy, get up quickly! Don't you see that my father is here? "Deng Yuan said angrily.
"If I want to sit down, there are not many people who can make me get up. You're not one of them!" Jiang Fei said slowly.
"How dare you!" The two men beside Deng Yuan scolded angrily.
"Stand aside. Servants have no right to speak here!" Jiang Fei glanced at the two men. A dark green light flashed in his eyes. The two men shuddered and an inexplicable fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.
After being glanced at by Jiang Fei, the two men did not dare to say anything. They both retreated behind Deng Yuan. This made the arrogant boy very angry. He glared at his two men and scolded them in a low voice, "You're all useless!"
At this time, Deng Tianguo had already arrived at the main table. Although he did not stand up when he saw Jiang Fei, as the patriarch of the Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket, he still had some self-restraint. Moreover, today was a very important day. He did not want to disturb the atmosphere because of such a small matter.
Therefore, in the end, Deng Tianguo chose to ignore Jiang Fei and sat down at the main table.
"Alright, everyone, sit down!" Deng Tianguo waved his hand, and the people at the main table sat down one after another. Then, the guests at the other tables sat down one after another.
After everyone was seated, the servants began to serve the dishes. Although the dishes on the table were all delicacies, none of the people who could come to this kind of gathering were country bumpkins. Everyone had eaten and seen before, so they all knew the purpose of this gathering, so no one focused on the dishes.
"Alright, I don't need to explain the purpose of gathering everyone here today. Let's talk about the candidate for the next Patriarch!" Deng Tianguo was the first to speak.
"Patriarch, I think the First Young Master is exceptionally talented. He has reached the Celestial Duke level at such a young age. If he comes to lead us, our Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket will definitely flourish!" It was unknown whether this person was an agent hired by Eldest Young Master Deng Tong or was expressing his true thoughts.
"Yes! Where are the others? "Deng Tianguo asked noncommittally.
"I also think the First Young Master is good. He is strong enough. He will definitely not let our Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket suffer losses." A person at another table also stood up and said.
"I think the Third Young Master is good. He is kind-hearted and cares about the clan. He will definitely be a good Patriarch!" At this time, the agent of the Third Young Master spoke up.
"Yes, I also think the Third Young Master is very suitable!"
"That's right! I support the Third Young Master! "
…
All of a sudden, the guests at the table spoke up enthusiastically. Almost half of them supported the Third Young Master, but few of them could say why.
In fact, some of these people were hired by the Third Young Master, but most of them acted according to the Old Patriarch's signal. They were not stupid. They all knew that the Old Patriarch doted on the Third Young Master the most, so of course, they took this opportunity to show their loyalty.
"Ahem …" Seeing that everyone was supporting the Third Young Master, the First Elder coughed a few times. The ordinary guests immediately fell silent. Although they were willing to flatter the Patriarch, at the same time, they did not want to offend the First Elder. After all, they could not afford to offend the First Elder.
"Patriarch, I think the Fifth Young Master is calm and responsible. He is the one who can lead our Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket to the future," the First Elder said.
"Ha …" Deng Tianguo smiled noncommittally. At the same time, he scolded in his heart, "Fifth Young Master is your son-in-law. Of course you support him!"
However, on the surface, Deng Tianguo did not show anything. After all, the First Elder was quite prestigious in the Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket, so he did not want to publicly fall out with the First Elder.
"Brother Deng, didn't you make any arrangements? Why is there no one supporting you? " Jiang Fei asked as if there was no one else around. His words immediately made the faces of the other young masters turn ugly. Although it was already an unspoken rule for them to ask for help, it was still very embarrassing for them to be exposed on the spot.
"Ha ha, this kind of mediocre trick is not needed!" Deng Jia also relaxed. Although it was in front of his father, he had the support of the Dragon Clan, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
"This friend, you look very unfamiliar!" Deng Tianguo frowned and looked at Jiang Fei.
"Yes, I have never met Patriarch Deng before," Jiang Fei said lightly.
"Then why are you here today at our important gathering of the Water Leopard Clan of the Winnowing Basket?" Deng Tianguo asked.
"I have a good relationship with Deng Jia, and we often hang out. Recently, I happened to pass by here, so I stayed with him for a few days. Today is quite lively here, so I came along." Jiang Fei smiled slightly. He did not say that he was invited by Deng Jia. Instead, he said that he came on his own initiative, which was enough to give Deng Jia face.
"Oh? Jia 'er, since this little brother is your friend, why don't you introduce us? "Deng Tianguo looked at Deng Jia and asked.
"Well … Father, this friend of mine is used to keeping a low profile. I can't say his identity …" Deng Jia did not know when Jiang Fei wanted to reveal his identity, so he did not dare to make a decision without permission.
"Oh?" Deng Tianguo frowned, then looked at Jiang Fei and asked, "So, this brother's identity is not ordinary?"
"Ha ha, there's nothing special about it. I don't have any status in my clan," Jiang Fei said lightly.
"Then may I ask which clan you are from, little brother?" Deng Tianguo had already lowered himself very much. However, it was still very rude for him to call Jiang Fei little brother. This was because the Dragon race was too powerful. They were so powerful that any random child of the race would be called a god.
"Do you really want to know my identity?" Jiang Fei raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, I do!" Deng Tianguo said to Jiang Fei patiently. If it was normal, he would have already beaten Jiang Fei up. Why would he cough with Jiang Fei here?
