Many people couldn't figure it out.
The Northwest Guard Mansion had no manpower, no money, a remote area, and all kinds of resources were lacking. Even the Demon Beast Tribes with a bit of foresight in the outside world didn't even bother to look at them. How could the capital take the initiative to put them in the position of the first ally?
It was a complete mismatch in terms of social status!
The only person they could see that the capital might have some connection with the Northwest Guard Mansion was Yang Fan, an Emperor Grade doctor.
But for an Emperor Grade doctor, the capital actually wanted to be the super nanny of the entire Northwest Guard Mansion. Had their heads been kicked by a donkey? How could they take things so hard?
Even if there was a possibility that they might need Yang Fan's help in the future and wanted to be on good terms with him, there was no need to curry favor with him like this, right?
If they didn't curry favor with Yang Fan and brought a large sum of money to his door to seek medical treatment, would he kick them out?
The reason why Emperor Grade Doctors had value in their existence was because these Emperors had a need for them. If Yang Fan offended all the Emperors in one go and caused the majority of the Emperors to join forces to suppress him, just like when the thirty-three Territories had jointly submitted a letter to the Emperor Realm, who would really treat him as an appetizer?
Without enough strength and backing, an emperor-level doctor was just a doctor to put it bluntly.
Lan Yuanqing and the people of the capital were making a mountain out of a molehill and taking Yang Fan too seriously. Sooner or later, they would spoil Yang Fan too much!
What was the difference between this and immoral behavior of driving up prices and destroying the balance of the market?
Bootlickers and whatnot were the most annoying!
Zhangsun Jiaci suppressed his anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to publicly embarrass Lan Yuanqing. After all, this was his territory and it wasn't good to make too much of a fuss.
But even so, he still didn't give Fu Zhengqing any face.
A junior who wasn't even an Emperor Grade doctor, even if he became the ruler of a territory because of a stroke of luck, still didn't have the qualifications to be on equal footing with Emperor Grade masters like them.
Fu Zhengqing acted as if he didn't see Zhangsun Jiaci's dark face and leisurely nodded in response to Lan Yuanqing.
"Since City Lord Lan has spoken, I naturally have to give this face. I'm not like some people who are used to taking advantage of their seniority and bullying others. Those who know me know that in private, I've always been an extremely elegant and easy-going person. "
After he finished speaking, before Zhangsun Jiaci could react, Fu Zhengqing had already retracted his head and sat back down in his seat. He had an aloof attitude that said, "Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk anymore."
Zhangsun Jiaci's eyes instantly.
Damn it, who was the one who was bullying others?
If Zhangsun Jiaci's words, Zhangsun Jiaci's's head, Zhangsun Jiaci's head..
's's Zhangsun, Zhangsun Zhenzhen '' '''s. At this moment, Shangguan Zhizhen whispered to Zhangsun Jiaci, 'Can't you see that they're deliberately stalling for time? It's more important to return to the main topic as soon as possible.'
After such an unreasonable quarrel, almost 5 minutes had passed. If this continued, when the 4 half-step Emperors returned, would they still have any right to speak?
Zhangsun Jiaci naturally understood this and couldn't help but glare at Fu Zhengqing again. It was all this b * stard's fault for deliberately confusing the public and almost failing their important matter.
Zhangsun Jiaci took a deep breath and looked away from Fu Zhengqing, an insignificant person. His expression returned to calmness again.
He raised his head and glanced at Lan Yuanqing, who was sitting on the throne, as well as Sima Xuefeng, Gu Yang, Mei Cailan, and Yang Fan, who were sitting next to Lan Yuanqing.
He said softly, "City Lord Lan is right. In the future, we'll all be a family. I won't find trouble with an insensible junior for such a small matter."
"Now, let's get back to the main topic. Let's talk about this gathering. Since the main participants this time are the various domain lords of the Federation's thirty-six domains, why don't we let everyone vote to decide whether to hold the gathering immediately? What do you think, City Lord Lan? What do you think? "
After saying that, Zhangsun Jiaci looked back at the 30 or so domain lords present and asked without fanning out.
'Everyone is very busy. How can we have so much free time to talk nonsense with you?'
Judging from Gu Zeyan's insistence on bringing Yang Fan into the venue, anyone could guess that the main purpose of this meeting was actually for Yang Fan's tour of the various domains. To put it bluntly, it was actually to ask these domain lords present for a favor.
Since that was the case, if these domain lords didn't take the opportunity to squeeze some benefits for themselves, wouldn't they be letting themselves down?
Therefore, after Zhangsun Jiaci's instigation, most of the 33 domain lords who had previously joined together were motivated. At the same time, they also wanted to hold the meeting as soon as possible. Now that the various domains weren't safe, they wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Yang Fan's gaze swept across Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen. These two people's cultivation could be said to be at the top of the 36 domain lords. They were very representative and had many domain lords supporting them.
This was probably one of the important reasons why Gu Zeyan had summoned them in advance and had a secret meeting with them.
However, Yang Fan didn't expect that these two people had accepted his benefits but didn't have the slightest intention of speaking up for him. They really didn't have any integrity and were ambitious.
"Haha …"
Faced with the crowd's heckling and criticism, Lan Yuanqing gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Then, he looked up and chuckled.
"Everyone, you seem to have misunderstood something."
Lan Yuanqing said calmly, "No one forced you to come to today's meeting in the capital. My capital has never done that kind of forced transaction."
"Everyone, go as you wish. If anyone is really worried that some kind of danger will befall their House of Guardians, you can leave now. Not only will no one force you to stay, I will also present the gift of thanks that I said before."
"After all, everyone has just fought side by side. Even if the transaction doesn't work out, there is still benevolence, right?"
Lan Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen. He said softly, "Domain Lord Zhangsun, Domain Lord Shangguan, and Domain Lord Gu, we don't usually interact much. Perhaps you don't know me very well."
"I, Lan Yuanqing, am a person who never says courteous words. If I say I won't force you to stay, I definitely won't force you to stay. If you really can't wait, you can leave now. Really, I can personally send you out of the city."
"In fact, if you feel that the road might be unsafe, I can even send people to escort you all the way until you are safely sent back to your respective domains!"
"How about it, fellow domain lords, have you decided? Do you want to leave now? I can personally send you out of the city! "
Faced with such a straightforward question from Lan Yuanqing, Zhangsun Jiaci, Shangguan Zhizhen, Gu Xiuyuan, and the other domain lords who had been heckling earlier couldn't help but feel their momentum stagnate. None of them dared to meet Lan Yuanqing's eyes.
Zhangsun Jiaci and Shangguan Zhizhen were fine. They had just received two peak emperor-level Golden Soul Cultivation Pills from Yang Fan. Their hearts were itching to get them. How could they bear to leave so easily?
It was the same for the other domain lords. The fifth-grade emperor-level Golden Soul Cultivation Pills that Lan Yuanqing had mentioned in the video call hadn't been taken out yet. If they left now, wouldn't they have made a wasted trip?
Did they really think that they had so much free time that they didn't stay in their own kennels? Why did they have to come all the way to the capital?
Therefore, when they saw that Lan Yuanqing was going to be serious, everyone was stunned.
They all knew very well in their hearts that Jing Hua City might have asked them for help because of Yang Fan's matter, and how could they not come to Jing Hua City because of the Emperor-Level Soul Refining Golden Pill?
If they really shed all pretense of cordiality and the other party sent the emperor-level Golden Soul Cultivation Pills to the Federal Center City, the Federation Central Government would naturally make an exception for these emperor-level Golden Soul Cultivation Pills and stand up for Yang Fan.
At that time, they, the domain lords, would have nothing to do with it.
"City Lord Lan must be joking. We didn't mean to threaten City Lord Lan. We just put forward some personal suggestions. If City Lord Lan doesn't accept them, just pretend that we didn't say anything. After all, you are the master of this place. Guests should follow the master's wishes!"
Shangguan Zhizhen smiled as if nothing had happened just now. She acted as a mediator and indirectly admitted defeat to Lan Yuanqing. She didn't mention anything about leaving anymore.
Although Zhangsun Jiaci and Gu Xiuyuan's expressions weren't very good, they also nodded one after another. They didn't dare to go head-to-head with Lan Yuanqing. The initiative once again returned to Lan Yuanqing's hands.
"Well said, well said. Guests should follow the master's wishes. I like this saying very much."
Lan Yuanqing didn't take advantage of the situation and continued Shangguan Zhizhen's words. He smiled and said, "You are all distinguished guests. Since you are here, I will naturally treat you with all my heart. There is no reason for me to take the initiative to drive you out."
"Come, come, come. This is the fourth-grade spiritual tea that the City Governor's Office has collected for many years. Domain Lords, please have a taste!"
Lan Yuanqing raised his cup and smiled as he invited everyone present to drink. The scene in the hall became harmonious and friendly again.
A moment later.
The teacup settled. Lan Yuanqing turned his head to look at Gu Yang, Sima Xuefeng, and the others beside him. Their eyes met, and after communicating with their Divine Thoughts, he stood up again and glanced at the domain lords below.
"Just now, I had a little discussion with Principal Gu, President Sima, and President Xun Youmei. Everyone feels that you have come from afar for the sake of our esteemed guests. Naturally, we cannot ignore our esteemed guests' suggestions."
"Therefore, although Lord Wu Dao and Senior Gu haven't returned, we can't use this as an excuse to delay everyone's time."
"Now, I announce that this time's Capital University Gathering officially begins!"
As soon as Lan Yuanqing's voice fell, the people seated below couldn't help but look at each other.
What the hell was he doing?
Just now, they had forced and heckled in every possible way until their faces were red and their necks were thick. They almost lost face, but Lan Yuanqing didn't compromise at all.
Now, their momentum was all suppressed, and they were all as docile as quails. Instead, Lan Yuanqing started to take the initiative to speak up?
What was this? Was this the unique pride of the Capital Chinese?
There are some things that I can do, but you can't force me to do. That's how proud I am!
