Chapter 495 Ten Families

At night, thousands of houses are lit up.

Tonight is the night of the festival and the beginning of the new year.

Drinking and eating meat, and reunion dinners are unshakable traditions.

In the capital city, everyone went home to celebrate the festival, and from time to time, words of blessing floated out from the streets and alleys, wandering over the entire capital city.

Dantane.

Lu Fan, Thirteen, Xiao Hao, and Wu Likun set up a table of hot pot.

Authentic mutton medicinal pot, nourishing qi, nourishing body and delicious, is handled by Xiao Hao. According to him, every piece of meat is carefully selected by him, and the aroma is compelling.

Outside the door, all kinds of gifts were piled all over the floor.

From time to time, there are servants shouting loudly.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu sent you a generous gift, and invited Mr. Lu to enjoy the moon tomorrow."

"Mr. Lu, Master Situ sent you a gift. Please ask Mr. Lu to row a boat and discuss wine in three days."

. . . . . .

There were shouts, accompanied by the sound of presents being placed on the ground.

Lu Fan didn't even bother to count, there were too many presents, it would be troublesome to put them all away now. Just put it there first.

Xiao Hao said with a smile all over his face: "Brother Lu Fan, you have become famous in one fell swoop now. All the powerful princes and nobles in the capital want to have a relationship with you."

Wu Likun put a pile of meat into the pot and said, "Brother Lu Fan doesn't intend to take refuge in any forces, right? These people are also giving gifts so blatantly, aren't they afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will deal with them?"

Xiao Hao smiled lightly and said: "You don't understand that. You look at the biggest pile at the door, it is from His Highness the Crown Prince. There are also gifts from His Highness the Second Prince. Although there is no name, but the runes of the royal tribute on it can never be faked."

Wu Likun said in surprise: "Really? Both Your Highnesses have brought gifts? No, brother Lu Fan, haven't you offended them?"

Lu Fan said calmly: "It's offended. But they can't do anything about me for the time being, so they just gave me a small gift to show that the matter is over and we won't talk about it."

Xiao Hao smiled and said, "Brother Lu Fan, when the snow melts and the flowers bloom next year, you will definitely stand out in the selection."

Lu Fan said: "I would like to borrow your good words. I also hope to get a better ranking."

Wu Likun shook his head and said, "Brother Lu Fan, I think the people who can threaten you in the selection are the elite children of the top ten families."

Lu Fan chuckled and said, "Ten Great Families. I've heard about them a long time ago. Are you familiar with the Ten Great Families? Can you tell me about them?"

Wu Likun and Xiao Hao looked at each other, and they shook their heads repeatedly.

Lu Fan sighed, and at this moment a voice sounded from outside the door.

"I know. Do you want to hear?"

The voice was extremely familiar, and when I turned my head to look, I saw Yiren approaching slowly.

"Dancing Ethereal!"

Shi Shiran, Wu Kongling walked to Lu Fan's side, pulled up the chair and sat down.

It wasn't the first time she came, Xiao Hao immediately said: "Sister Wu, you are here too. Aren't you going home for the reunion dinner?"

Wu Kongling smiled and said, "Didn't you go back too?"

Xiao Hao said: "Our family is too far away. If we want to go back, the New Year's Eve is already over. So we can't go back, alas, this year I will worry my old lady again."

Wu Kongling said softly, "I'm better than you guys, no one is worried about me."

Xiao Hao frowned and asked, "Why?"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Likun next to him immediately stuffed Xiao Hao's mouth with a piece of meat.

At this time, Xiao Hao realized what Wu Likun meant by this statement, and immediately bowed his head and remained silent.

Lu Fan took a jug of wine, handed it to Wu Kongling and said, "Drink, don't talk about such unhappy things."

Wu Kongling said: "Lu Fan, don't you want to know the situation of the top ten families? Would you like me to tell you about it?"

Lu Fan said: "Okay, tell me about it. Maybe I will meet people from the top ten families during the spring selection next year."

Wu Kongling slowly put the jug aside, and said, "Let's start with the top ten families. Lu Fan, how many of the top ten families do you know now?"

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "The Han family, the Tian family, yes, there is also the Shui family."

Wu Kongling smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have dealt with people from the Shui family. Well, these three are considered to be the strongest among the top ten families. The rest, who are a little less powerful, are still There are Tantai family, Shi family, and Liu family. These three families are also warrior families, with countless descendants spread all over Wu'an. In comparison, the Han family, Tian family, and Shui family are only a little behind."

Lu Fan said: "What else?"

Wu Kongling continued: "The next step is the Lu family, and the Chu family. These two families are much more low-key. Among them, the Lu family is famous for miscellaneous studies. There are also children of the Lu family, including warriors and qi refiners. There are those who are incapable of learning and know nothing. For example, the current prime minister, Lu Qinghou."

Lu Fan was surprised: "You can be a prime minister if you don't know anything?"

Wu Kongling nodded and said: "That's right. This is where the Lu family is powerful. Although the commoner prime minister, Lu Qinghou, has no strength or vitality, no one in Wu'an can kill him. As for the reason, there is no one. Everyone knows. Anyone who tried to kill him is dead anyway. Among them are the three Tiangang Ninth Layer powerhouses."

Lu Fan nodded understandingly, and made a note of the Lu family.

Wu Kongling continued: "As for the Chu family, it is a family that has declined. Although it is still one of the top ten families, it is already sunset and there are fewer and fewer children in the family. Up to now, it has been more than ten years and I have not seen the Chu family. It’s a great feat for my son. Now, no one in the Chu family knows about it. It’s just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and no one dares to challenge it.”

Xiao Hao interjected: "I've heard about this too. It's said that the Chu Family Courtyard hasn't been opened for eight years."

Lu Fan asked: "Well, there are already eight major families, so what about the other two?"

Wu Kongling said: "Don't worry too much about the remaining two major families. One family is the Ouyang family. Ever since the emergence of a big devil, Ouyang Yun, the door has been completely closed. Although the family is still powerful, it has already spoken out. In the future, I will avoid the world for a thousand years and never go out of the mountains, so I can ignore it. The other family is the Qin family, so I don’t need to say more about it.”

Hearing the word Qin, everyone looked solemn. Needless to say, the Qin family is the royal family, isn't it?

The strongest family among the top ten families is the royal family.

Lu Fan rolled his eyelids and said, "So, it's the top ten families."

Wu Kongling hummed, and said: "That's right. Lu Fan, if you really want to get a good ranking in the selection, then you should pay attention, there are actually only seven people. The Han family, Han Yuanning. The Tian family, Tian Qingyang. Shui Family, Shui Shiquan. Tantai family, Tantai Ge. Liu family, Liu Zhen. Shi family, Shi Chen. Lu family, Lu Yin. These seven people are all on the national list, you can take a closer look at their martial arts .But the record on the national list is already a few years ago. So, you can just read it, and you don’t have to believe it all.”

With that said, Wu Kongling took out a booklet and handed it to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan accepted it solemnly, and said with a smile, "Wu Kongling, this gift is better than all the gifts I received today!"

Wu Kongling said: "Really? Since when did you become able to speak? However, isn't it normal to give gifts at the New Year Festival? Do you have any presents for me?"

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, he never knew there was such a rule.

But since Wu Kongling had said it all, he couldn't be stingy, he pointed to the countless gifts outside the door and said, "Choose whatever you want."

Wu Kongling smiled happily, and slowly took off her veil.

Although it was not the first time to see Wu Kongling's perfect face, Lu Fan's heart still beat a few times in disappointment.

At this time, Xiao Hao and Wu Likun suddenly laughed at the same time, picked up a box from the side and said, "Brother Lu Fan, this is a gift from us."

Lu Fan was stunned again, it seems that the rules really exist, Wu Kongling didn't lie to him!

Opening the box, what came into view was a copy of "Detailed Explanation of Martial Artist Pill".

Xiao Hao smiled and said: "Brother Lu Fan, this is the book we found for you with great difficulty. It introduces about dozens of pills that do not require vitality, and only need to be blended with techniques and medicinal materials. It’s hard to find this book, and it’s a gift from us.”

Lu Fan couldn't laugh or cry, if he was really just a warrior, he might be ecstatic when he got this book. But he is still a Qi refiner! If you want to make alchemy, you can do it directly, do you need to care about whether you have vitality or not?

However, Lu Fan still looked at Xiao Hao and Wu Likun with a smile, and said, "This is the first gift I received. How about it, I will return you a gift too."

Having said that, Lu Fan took out a book and handed it to Xiao Hao.

"Great Desolation Yuan Jue!"

Xiao Hao said doubtfully.

Hearing the title of the book, Wu Kongling suddenly shuddered.

Lu Fan smiled and said: "This book is the exercises of Qi practitioners. I will give it to you. Study it carefully, and maybe you will become real masters in the future."

Xiao Hao let out a groan. With his experience, he still couldn't recognize that this was a heavenly skill.

Wu Kongling said softly to Lu Fan, "Is that why you gave them a book of heavenly exercises?"

Lu Fan replied via voice transmission: "Anyway, I've memorized it too. No problem! By the way, do you have any magical cultivation skills? Give me one or two sets too. I'll exchange something with you."

Wu Kongling smiled and said, "Okay. Then I want one thing."

Lu Fan said, "Say it, whatever you want, what do you want?"

Wu Kongling suddenly pulled Lu Fan up and said, "Go, go up."

Lu Fan was surprised: "What do you want?"

Wu Kongling raised his eyebrows and said, "You'll know when you go up."

After speaking, Wu Kongling pulled Lu Fan up amidst the chuckling laughter of Xiao Hao and Wu Likun.

This night, there will be double shadows of warm candles and red tents.

What a wonderful night!
