Chapter 8 The Spot In The Emperor's Merchant Association!

  • It was assumed that he would be the one attending the banquet, but it turned out to be a disappointment.
  • Hu Xiaoyun couldn't believe how impressive Han Feng was. He couldn't let go of his anger.
  • "Hey, bro, do you know someone named Han Feng?" Hu Xiaoyun shared the earlier incident with Hu Xiaotian.
  • "Han Feng? Never heard of him. He's probably just lucky, not some important person." Hu Xiaotian replied.
  • As a newly promoted Martial Saint, Hu Xiaotian had no way of knowing Han Feng's identity.
  • After ending the call, Hu Xiaoyun felt much better. He shared the news with everyone.
  • However, the Su family still had concerns.
  • Under Old Lady Su's orders, Su Guangyao reluctantly made his way to the small restaurant across the street.
  • The restaurant was heavily guarded by a hundred Martial Saints.
  • "Halt!"
  • A Martial Saint stopped Su Guangyao. It was the same Martial Saint who had delivered the autograph book to the Su family earlier, with a stern expression.
  • Su Guangyao trembled with fear and asked with a forced smile, "Um, Martial Saint, do you know the young man who attended the birthday banquet earlier?"
  • "I don't know him! Please leave immediately!" The Martial Saint sternly replied.
  • There were strict orders not to reveal the Valley Lord's identity. He dared not say anything.
  • Su Guangyao hurried back, and everyone gathered around him.
  • After confirming that Han Feng was not an important person, everyone finally felt relieved.
  • "But after this meal, even if Han Feng didn't have any abilities before, who knows, he might be able to make connections with important people." Su Lan frowned.
  • Upon hearing this, the Su family became nervous again.
  • If Han Feng became successful through this opportunity and came back to hold the Su family accountable, what would they do?
  • The Su family no longer had the mood to continue with the ceremony. People's gazes kept shifting towards the restaurant across the street, feeling restless.
  • An hour later, Han Feng finally walked out of the small restaurant.
  • The influential figures got into their cars one by one, without giving the Su family a chance to approach them.
  • The previously blocked street quickly returned to normal traffic.
  • And Han Feng, carrying two cakes, returned to the ceremony.
  • "Yingxue, Ling'er, this cake is delicious. I brought a piece for each of you, try it!" Han Feng acted as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the bewildered gazes around him, and handed one piece of cake to Xia Ling'er.
  • Xia Ling'er took a bite and couldn't help but praise, "Brother, it's really delicious!"
  • Han Feng then handed another piece of cake to Su Yingxue.
  • Su Yingxue took it, but her eyes were filled with disappointment as she looked at Han Feng.
  • Obviously, Han Feng didn't seize the opportunity, otherwise those influential figures wouldn't have left so quickly without saying goodbye.
  • Now, everyone cast disdainful glances at Han Feng.
  • Su Guangyao couldn't bear to look at him and said, "Tsk tsk! Look at this useless person. He had the privilege of having lunch with those influential figures, but he didn't cherish this opportunity. He even brought back two pieces of cake. Is he asking to be laughed at?!"
  • "Someone like him will never achieve anything in his lifetime. He's truly disgusting!" Su Lan sneered.
  • While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also felt regretful.
  • How did they let an incompetent son-in-law get the lucky chance to dine with those influential figures? They didn't gain any benefits, it was simply a waste!
  • Han Feng glanced at everyone's reaction and knew what they were thinking.
  • He raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you all forget something? Didn't Grandma say that if I could invite a Martial Saint, then everyone in the Su family should kneel and pay their respects to me?"
  • "Now that a hundred Martial Saints have arrived, you can kneel."
  • Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
  • "Han Feng, are you kidding? Those hundred Martial Saints came here because of Hu Wusheng's influence. What does it have to do with you?" Su Lan looked at him with disdain.
  • Baimu Cheng, who knew that Han Feng had no hidden background, forgot about his previous suggestion to apologize to Han Feng and directly criticized him.
  • "We asked earlier, those Martial Saints don't even know you, they have no idea where you got the information to show off. Have some shame, will you?"
  • Su Grandma also looked at Han Feng with disgust.
  • But she couldn't be bothered to deal with Han Feng and instead looked at Hu Xiaoyun, with a flattering expression.
  • "Hu Shao, I'm really grateful to you today. Our Su family has gained a lot of prestige!"
  • Seeing that Han Feng couldn't even seize the opportunity that was within his grasp, he was truly a complete waste. Hu Xiaoyun also felt a lot of frustration dissipate from his heart.
  • He straightened his chest and lifted his head, his face regaining its arrogance. "It's nothing, just that my brother has a task to attend to, so he won't be able to attend the upcoming banquet."
  • "That's enough, that's enough." Madam Su waved her hand repeatedly, the wrinkles on her face smiling like chrysanthemums. "Thanks to Hu Wusheng, this time we have a hundred Martial Saints congratulating our Su family. Our chances of obtaining a spot in the Emperor's Merchant Association are even greater!"
  • Han Feng was speechless.
  • Did these people really think that Hu Xiaotian, this newly promoted Tiger List Martial Saint, had such a great reputation?
  • Hu Xiaoyun was full of pride at this moment, waving his hand and saying, "It's just a spot in the Emperor's Merchant Association, I can help with the arrangements."
  • Clang!
  • Madam Su almost fell off her chair, trembling with excitement. "Young Master Hu, are you serious? The spot in the Emperor's Merchant Association is not something you can obtain just by having money."
  • Hu Xiaoyun arrogantly said, "I have a good relationship with the regional manager of the Emperor's Merchant Association in Jiang City. Now that my brother has returned in glory and there are a hundred Martial Saints behind him, what is the Emperor's Merchant Association? Getting a spot is a piece of cake."
  • "However, this time," Hu Xiaoyun looked at Su Yingxue with fiery eyes, "I hope Yingxue can agree to spend a night with me."
  • Madam Su immediately became anxious. "Yingxue, Young Master Hu is treating you so well, why don't you hurry up and show some appreciation."
  • But Su Yingxue shook her head directly and said, "I... I don't want to!"
  • "Su Yingxue, are you disregarding the interests of our family? Are you still considered a member of the Su family?" Su Lan questioned angrily.
  • The Su family was on the verge of achieving success, and if they offended Young Master Hu, they would lose everything they had worked for.
  • With a loud bang, Madam Su's expression changed. She slammed her hand on the table and scolded Su Yingxue on the spot, "Yingxue, do you want to make me die of anger?"
  • At that moment, Han Feng suddenly stood up and grabbed Su Yingxue's hand.
  • "You don't have to do anything. I can secure a position in the Emperor's Merchant Association with just a word. It wasn't even a challenging task to begin with!"
