Eight Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Six
Tang Yu looked at the situation on the stage with some surprise, and secretly sighed in his heart: Although there are no such things as fireworks in the cultivation world, the effect of these exploding energy bombs is definitely much better than fireworks. Not only are they more beautiful, but there is no pollution. It must be said that the existence of human beings, no matter how high or low, is the same in some ideas!
"Tang Xiaoyou, how do you feel!" Deputy City Lord Xie sat next to Tang Yu and asked very politely.
"Not bad!" Tang Yu responded to Deputy City Lord Xie's words with a smile.
On Tang Yu's right sat Deputy City Lord Xie, and on his left was Haiya. There were eight people sitting at the table. Tang Yu's people occupied four, and the Xie family also occupied four.
As for Tang Yu's side, the rest of the group sat at the table next to them, and there were also several high-level members of the Xie family.
The attitude of the Xie family was really sincere to the extreme. People who didn't know would definitely think that the Xie family was trying to curry favor with Tang Yu when they saw such a seat, and guessed that the identity of Tang Yu and his party was extremely noble.
Although it was true, Tang Yu felt really awkward. However, after thinking about it, he didn't think that the Xie family could hurt them in this situation, so Tang Yu let go of the awkwardness in his heart and enjoyed it.
While Tang Yu was enjoying the various activities arranged by the Xie family, the senior members of the Jiang family gathered together again, with extremely gloomy expressions.
"Master, this Xie family looks down on us!" An elder of the Jiang family said angrily.
Today, when he heard that the Xie family invited most of the forces in the Demon Refining City, as well as Tang Yu and his party, but did not invite their Jiang family, he was so angry that he wanted to rush directly to the Xie Mansion and make a big fuss in the Xie Mansion.
In any case, their Jiang family is one of the several deputy city lord families in the Demon Refining City.
If it was before, their Jiang family was in a semi-invisible state, such a large banquet would not invite them, but now, everyone knows that their Jiang family is no longer invisible, no matter what, they should invite them!
Although they may not go, at least it will not make the Jiang family angry.
From a certain perspective, the Xie family's approach completely put the Jiang family on the opposite side of them.
The two families, in normal times, actually don't have many conflicts, especially when the Jiang family has been in a semi-hidden state, the Xie family and the Jiang family have no conflicts of interest. After the Jiang family came into being, the members of the two families got along quite politely.
If the Xie family only invited Tang Yu and his party, the Jiang family would not be so angry.
But now, the Xie family directly abandoned the Jiang family and ignored the existence of the Jiang family. They invited so many forces from the Demon Refining City, but ignored their Jiang family. Is this the rhythm of preparing to slap their Jiang family in the face?
Hearing the stern shout from the elder of the Jiang family, other senior members of the Jiang family also complained: "Does the Xie family want to quit? We still have two True God Realm masters in the Jiang family. They don't want to build good relations with us, but want to build good relations with Tang Yu and the Hai family. They are stupid!"
"Master, do you think we should go there now and cause some trouble?"
"This Xie family really doesn't take our Jiang family seriously! Do they really think that we have been in seclusion for so long, so we can be bullied by anyone? I really can't control myself now and want to rush into the Xie Mansion and kill people!"
"I think so too."
"I can't stand such disregard for our Jiang family. You tell me, is it because Tang Yu killed our Jiang family's Middle God Nine Realm master, but we didn't react at all, so the Xie family thinks that our Jiang family is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at will? Alpaca, I said from the beginning that we must avenge Jiang Cheng!"
The words of this senior member of the Jiang family stunned the other senior members of the Jiang family.
Even Lao Liu, the military advisor of the Jiang family, couldn't help but frown at this moment, thinking in his heart, is there such a possibility.
"Master, this Deputy City Lord Xie shouldn't be so stupid! It was he who sent Young Master Jiang back. If it weren't for him, Young Master Jiang would have been killed by Tang Yu! How could he do such a stupid thing?"
Lao Liu said hesitantly.
Lao Liu said this, obviously agreeing with the words of the senior executive just now, thinking that the Xie family might have seen that the Jiang family did not retaliate against Tang Yu, so their attitude changed so much.
"No!" The head of the Jiang family shook his head and said, "I think the Xie family didn't invite us because he knew that we had a conflict with Tang Yu, and it couldn't be resolved. Since he is hosting a banquet for Tang Yu and his friends today, if he invites us over, will Tang Yu be unhappy..."
"He Tang Yu is nothing, if he is unhappy, just keep it to yourself." A senior executive of the Jiang family couldn't help but say.
The head of the Jiang family immediately glared at the senior executive fiercely, snorted coldly, and said: "If you have the ability, go and seek revenge on Tang Yu!"
The head of the Jiang family said the same sentence last time, and then all the senior executives of the Jiang family were speechless.
Now, all the senior executives of the Jiang family fell silent again because of this sentence.
The expression on Lao Liu's face kept flickering. After a long time, he finally became firm. He looked up at the head of the Jiang family and said resolutely: "Head, our plan may need to be changed!"
"Are you absolutely sure that my guess is inaccurate?" The head of the Jiang family frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"That's not what I meant. I just think that if we continue to follow the previous plan, by the time we are ready to attack Tang Yu, Tang Yu has united all the other families in the Demon Refining City. By then, our Jiang family will be equivalent to fighting against the entire Demon Refining City alone. We don't have such strength yet." Lao Liu said seriously.
The conversation between Lao Liu and the head of the Jiang family made the Jiang family leaders around them all look confused.
They are not fools. They have understood one thing from the conversation between the two, that is, their head of the family is not really unwilling to deal with Tang Yu now. In fact, he has secretly prepared some conditions to fight against Tang Yu, but they don't know it yet.
However, these preparations have now been denied by Lao Liu, the military advisor, and it is obvious that he does not want to continue to implement this plan.
In this way, the Jiang family's senior executives showed a depressed expression on their faces. A plan that should have excited them ended in vain when they just knew about it.
It was like punching out with all your strength, but hitting cotton with nowhere to bear the force, which was very frustrating and annoying.
Lao Liu and the head of the Jiang family ignored the group of people. The head of the Jiang family asked directly: "What are you going to do?"
"I think what the fourth brother said is right. We should..." A strange smile flashed across Lao Liu's face.
Hearing Lao Liu's words, the head of the Jiang family thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Okay! Let's do it. Since the Xie family dares to look down on us, let's teach them a lesson and let them know who is the boss among our deputy city lord families!"
Hearing the words of the head of the Jiang family, all the senior executives of the Jiang family were extremely happy, and their faces showed quite excited expressions. What they expected was finally about to come true.
...
Xie Mansion.
When the banquet was in full swing, Deputy City Lord Xie suddenly whispered to Tang Yu: "Friend Tang, there is something I want to announce."
"Oh! What is it?" Tang Yu knew that Deputy City Lord Xie had finally mentioned the serious matter! "A faint smile flashed across Tang Yu's eyes.
