When Lu Yuran saw this, his expression couldn't help but change. This steward was an elder of the Lu Family and had already worked under Lu Qingyi for many years. Normally, he was highly valued by Lu Qingyi. However, he didn't expect that today, for Yun Fan, he would directly demote him to a servant without even giving him a chance.
"Brother, this punishment is too …"
Lu Yuran wanted to plead on behalf of the housekeeper. After all, he was the one who ordered the housekeeper to do this. However, when he saw Lu Qingyi's cold gaze, his body trembled and he swallowed the words he was about to say.
"You've offended an esteemed guest. Slap yourself ten times!"
Lu Qingyi said in a low voice.
"Brother, I'm your biological brother!"
Lu Yuran was shocked. He didn't expect to be punished like this just because he wanted to chase Yun Fan away. Being slapped in front of so many elites was worse than being killed.
Everyone looked at each other, trying to guess where Yun Fan came from. Lu Qingyi was actually punishing his own brother because of him.
At this moment, Bing Yiqing's expression was extremely ugly. He found it hard to believe that Yun Fan knew Lu Qingyi. Moreover, from the looks of it, they seemed to be very close.
"Do you want me to do it myself?"
Lu Qingyi didn't show any mercy. His tone was icy.
Lu Yuran clenched his teeth, then raised his hand and slapped his own face.
He knew his brother's stubborn temperament too well. If he didn't do as he was told today, he would definitely be embarrassed even more.
Lu Yuran slapped his own face again and again, but his eyes were filled with a sinister glint. Today's outcome was all thanks to Yun Fan. He must avenge today!
After ten slaps, Lu Yuran's cheeks were already swollen. Blood flowed from his mouth, and he even lost a few teeth.
After doing all this, Lu Qingyi turned to look at Xiang Yun Fan and smiled faintly. "I'm sorry, Brother Yun Fan. I've made you suffer today. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Yun Fan shook his head slightly. "Brother Lu, you're too serious."
Lu Qingyi's actions had already given him enough face, so Yun Fan naturally wouldn't fuss about it anymore.
Yun Fan had also noticed Lu Yuran's venomous gaze, but he didn't take it to heart. If the other party dared to try anything funny, he wouldn't mind giving him a taste of his own medicine!
"Brother Yun Fan, are these two beauties your friends?"
Lu Qingyi pointed at Bing Yuqing and Bing Yiqing and said with a faint smile.
Yun Fan pulled Bing Yuqing aside and said, "This is my friend, Bing Yuqing."
Lu Qingyi solemnly cupped his fists and bowed slightly. "Miss Yuqing is indeed a natural beauty. This Lu greets you."
"Young Master Lu, you flatter me."
Bing Yuqing hurriedly returned the greeting. She did not expect that such a big shot would take the initiative to greet her.
She knew that Lu Qingyi was an exceptional genius of the Five Continent Alliance. He was a terrifying existence ranked second on the Genius Roll. Although he was only at the perfected Supremacy Realm, his combat strength was probably not inferior to her father's, the Ice Emperor's, combat strength!
"If you are Yun Fan's friend, then you are my friend as well."
Lu Qingyi called over an attendant and said, "When the banquet begins, arrange a seat for Miss Bing Yuqing at the first table."
Many people around them were secretly jealous when they heard this. They hadn't expected that Bing Yuqing would receive such treatment. This was something they had yearned for even in their dreams.
Bing Yuqing was even more shocked. She naturally knew that Lu Qingyi was treating her this way because he wanted to give Yun Fan some face.
Bing Yuqing couldn't help but feel curious. Why did Lu Qingyi think so highly of Yun Fan?
Yun Fan didn't explain anything when he sensed Bing Yuqing's puzzled gaze. Instead, he looked at Bing Yiqing and said, "I don't know her."
"Oh."
Lu Qingyi only glanced at Bing Yiqing briefly when he heard this. He treated her like air.
Bing Yiqing stood there awkwardly, her face turning pale. She hadn't expected such a quick response. She had just said that she didn't know Yun Fan. Now, Yun Fan had also said that he didn't know her and ignored her.
Many people looked at Bing Yiqing gloatingly. They were both sisters, yet Bing Yuqing had been treated like an honored guest, while Bing Yiqing had been treated like air. This difference was like heaven and earth.
After doing all this, Lu Qingyi invited Yun Fan to the back of the hall. Yun Fan gestured at Bing Yuqing before following Lu Qingyi.
After Yun Fan and Lu Qingyi left the hall, the hall burst into an uproar. Everyone was guessing Yun Fan's background. Lu Qingyi had actually treated him so courteously. Even Yun Fan's friend, Bing Yuqing, had been arranged to sit at the first table of the banquet. This was the highest level of treatment.
"Who exactly is this guy?"
Lu Yuran, who was sullen, glared at Bing Yiqing and asked in a deep voice.
"He's just a Corps Commander from the Fire Domain. He doesn't have any background. I don't know how he got to know your brother, Lu Qingyi."
Bing Yiqing said with an ugly expression. Because of Yun Fan, she had become a joke in everyone's eyes. Even though there were still many people gathered together, they would look at her from time to time and whisper to each other. Occasionally, they would burst into laughter.
She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
"Since he doesn't have any background, I guess he doesn't have a close relationship with my brother. He must have asked him for help with a small matter. My brother was so angry today because he wanted to establish his authority and blame me for not doing my job well. It shouldn't have anything to do with Yun Fan."
Lu Yuran analyzed solemnly.
"I think so too."
Bing Yiqing nodded and said with certainty, "Yun Fan is just a piece of trash. How could he be qualified to have a close relationship with your brother? He must have taken a fancy to my sister, Yuqing. That's why he let her sit in the first row. It has nothing to do with Yun Fan! "
She didn't want to believe that Yun Fan and Lu Qingyi had a close relationship. Even she, the daughter of the Ice Emperor, couldn't catch Lu Qingyi's eye, let alone the unknown Yun Fan.
At this moment, Yun Fan didn't know what the crowd was thinking. He had been brought to a small practice room by Lu Qingyi.
Although the practice room looked like it was put together at the last minute, Yun Fan could feel that the materials used to make the walls were extremely rare and expensive.
This wall was actually able to continuously absorb the Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy from the outside world into this secret room. It was obviously made of an extremely special material.
In addition, the walls were engraved with countless obscure inscriptions. These inscriptions also had the effect of gathering Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy. As a result, the density of Spiritual Qi and Mental Energy in the secret room was at least ten times higher than the outside world.
Yun Fan was a little shocked when he saw this scene. It was indeed a big deal.
In such an environment, it was no wonder that Lu Qingyi's cultivation was so much better than the others.
Of course, although he was shocked, Yun Fan didn't lose his composure. After all, he had the Great Spiritual Qi Absorption Technique. The speed at which he absorbed Mental Energy was ten times faster than in the secret room!
