The situation calmed down, the Elder Cui immediately called for people to clean up the place, while Yun Fann and the rest moved to the center of the pavilion in the garden.
This octagonal pavilion was rather large, and the stone table in the middle could fit more than twenty people.
Very quickly, fine wine and delicacies were placed on the stone table. Chicken, duck, fish, goose, mountain and sea delicacies were all there.
Elder Cui had his servants prepare these things long ago. Originally, he wanted to inform everyone after the auction ends, but even though the auction won't succeed, he knew that he should complete it with etiquette. All the wealthy merchants present were invited.
Hence, a situation like this happened. All the bodyguards, goddaughters, secretaries and the like were eating at the garden, only the rich, Yun Fann and the Elder Cui were qualified to enter the octagonal pavilion.
The dishes on both sides were naturally of two ranks.
However, there was also an unexpected occurrence, which was that Feng Suxin had also sat on the table at the Octagonal Pavilion, while still sitting beside Yun Fann. Everyone thought that it was natural, after all, Yun Fann had already drank wine with her before.
In the beginning, when Yun Fann did not use his chopsticks, no one dared to.
"Eat, why are you looking at me like that?" Yun Fann laughed and moved his chopsticks, and only then did everyone dare to move their chopsticks.
Master Zhuo moved his chopsticks, and could not help but ask Yun Fann: "Immortal Yun, are you from the Southern or Northern Sect?"
Yun Fann asked: "What Northern Sect of the Southern Sect?"
"You don't know?" Master Zhuo was astonished.
Yun Fann: "Tell me about it."
Thus, Master Zhuo explained to Yun Fann, it turned out that their Dao arts faction was like Shaolin, they were also split into north and south.
Most of the people in the Southern Sect were called master, while the people in the Northern Sect were called Taoist.
Jiangdong Province was located in the southern part of the Qin Nation. Master Zhuo's sect was located in the Black Cloud Mountain in Jiangdong Province.
"So that's how it is." Yun Fann nodded his head, and asked curiously: "Then what about the previous elder Kong, what is his status in the Northern Sect?"
Master Zhuo hesitated, "This... I know most of the famous Dao Elders in the Northern Sect, but I really don't know about this Dao Lord Kong. Furthermore, his Dao Arts are a bit strange. If he was that strong, he would definitely be ranked within the North Sect. should know that he was invited by Elder Cui. "
Yun Fann turned to look at Elder Cui, "Elder Cui, what kind of background does this Kong Dao have?"
"He actually doesn't have much of a background. He's just an ordinary Daoist Priest that used to sell things to me. I don't know what fortuitous encounters he had with him this time around, but he suddenly became this strong." Elder Cui stopped talking here, continuing on would be saying that Taoist Kong had colluded with him to scam these wealthy merchants. Now that the conspiracy had failed, he felt that he had lost all face.
Yun Fann said indifferently: "Isn't that simple? He must have received the demon's assistance and his strength will definitely soar, so it's no wonder he's so conceited."
Hearing that, everyone could not help but nod their heads, that Kong Dao was even prettier than the Elder Cui.
"Immortal Master Yun, let me toast you." Zhang Shanwei, who was seated beside Yun Fann, raised the cup in his hand.
"Sure." Yun Fann picked up the cup and clinked it against his, and the two of them gulped it down.
"Hahaha." Zhang Shanwei was in a good mood as he personally filled the cups of the two with wine, as though drinking with Yun Fann was an honor.
At this time, one of the middle-aged merchants' eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and brought his cup to Yun Fann, and said with a smile: "Immortal Yun, I am Ban Xueming, I do a small business with daily necessities in the Tiger River."
When the rich merchants on the scene heard this, they couldn't help but secretly call him an old fox. The daily necessities of the class were not just a small business, they included almost all types of daily necessities, and were even of a global wholesale scale. In Qin Nation, how could anyone not know of the world's goods conglomerate that the class was managing?
The class continued to laugh and say, "It is my honor to see you display your ability. I am truly in awe. Immortal Yun, let me toast you! "
"Sure." Yun Fann nodded, he did not have the intention to toast.
The student in charge of the class could only drink the wine in his cup with his head held high. He bitterly smiled as he returned to his seat and sat down. This was the difference in treatment.
Actually, he also knew where the problem lay. When Yun Fann had saved Master Zhuo, most of the wealthy merchants had sat back on their chairs.
As for Zhang Shanwei, not only did he personally say that he believed that Yun Fann could save Master Zhuo, he even stood by his side from start to finish. Naturally, he could obtain Yun Fann's favor, let alone the matter of him bringing Yun Fann over from the Jiangzhou.
Another rich merchant also stood up with a cup in his hand, but this time he came to Zhang Shanwei's side, "Old Zhang, it's been so long since we drank, come and touch one."
The person who toasted him was called Zheng Hongshuo, who worked in real estate and had a good relationship with Mayor Hu Jiang. A while ago, he took down a hill in the new city district of Hu Jiang and now, he was pushing it to the ground as he prepared to build high-end residential areas.
At that time, Zhang Shanwei also wanted to share a share of the loot, but he had personally traveled a few rounds yet he did not manage to get into a conversation with Deng Hong Shuo. This fellow was simply not interested in benefits, he had only had one meal with him, he did not expect that this time, he would actually take the initiative to toast.
Zhang Shanwei quickly understood what was going on. It was all because he had a good relationship with Yun Fann, otherwise, he would not be treated like this.
Deng Hongshuo saw that Zhang Shanwei was stunned, he thought that was just putting on a show, and immediately laughed: "I have already thought about the matter of returning to the new city area, I have your help."
"Old Deng, you're really interesting!" Zhang Shanwei laughed and stood up, and directly clinking cups with him, the two of them drank it all in one go.
The other rich merchants quickly realised it too, and quickly toasted to Zhang Shanwei. They may not be able to enter Yun Fann's eyes, but they could at least use Zhang Shanwei as a bridge.
In the end, even Feng Cheng Zhou and the others did not let him off, although they did not know how close his relationship was with Yun Fann, but he had a niece close to Yun Fann, she had directly questioned Yun Fann and he had laughed her off, how could they have this kind of treatment, furthermore, Feng Cheng Zhou's relationship with Zhang Shanwei was also very good.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Shanwei and Feng Cheng Zhou were almost overjoyed. Normally, every single one of these wealthy merchants had a heart that was even higher than the sky, and sometimes, even the Prefectural Elder and Mayor would have to be polite with them. But today, they all rushed to come and toast.
However, they all knew that they had all benefited from Yun Fann.
Elder Cui was treated coldly tonight. After holding in his anger for a long time, he finally thought of something that he could talk to Yun Fann about. He took out the black jade pendant and asked Yun Fann: "Immortal Yun, this pendant originally belonged to Kong Chang.
Yun Fann said indifferently: "Give it to me, this thing can at most be used for one more strike. If the owner of the agreement wears it, he would probably be in trouble if he falls from the fifth floor."
"Yes, yes." Elder Cui respectfully handed over the Black Jade Pendant to Yun Fann.
Although Yun Fann's expression did not change, he was secretly amused in his heart. This black jade was useless to others, but in his hands, it was extremely useful ah, he could completely erase the black jade's formation inside, nourishing it with spirit energy before re-drawing the defensive array. At that time, even if its master was suppressed by ten buildings, it would still be safe and sound.
There was a person he cared a lot about who needed the protection of this Black Jade Pendant.
