The silver-haired old woman’s expression turned even colder. “n.o.ble Realm? Which one of you here isn’t in the n.o.ble Realm? In the current Ding’an City, so what if you’re in the mere pseudo-n.o.ble Realm? Why? Are you afraid?”
The guest with the mole face snorted. “Is this a matter of fear?”
“Alright, at the end of the day, you just think that Pavilion Master Pang is dead! There’s no need to stand up for a dilapidated Dragon Gate Pavilion, right?”
An expressionless man said coldly, “So what if I do? The tea will turn cold when people leave. It’s just that everything in the world is the same. What’s there to be surprised about?”
The silver-haired old woman’s expression became even uglier. She looked around and almost all the other n.o.ble Realms were silent.
Some of them had already known about the news, while others had just found out. However, they avoided eye contact, clearly making a decision.
The silver-haired old woman smiled bleakly. “I understand. The Four Alliance Gang… has already looked for you!
“That bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, did they offer your shares of the casino?
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Pavilion Master Pang hated gamblers the most. What kind of hero was he to actually acknowledge you ungrateful friends!”
Some of them were disdainful, while others turned their heads away without saying a word.
“Everyone, forgive my interruption…”
At this moment, someone spoke, attracting everyone’s attention.
“From what you’re saying, is this Four Alliances Gang here to cause trouble at the wedding?”
Everyone paused slightly and looked at the person who asked the question. They frowned.
This person was the young man that Zang Wei had attracted just now. He looked ordinary and was overly young, like a white rabbit mixed in with tigers and wolves.
The person who asked was Lin Yan.
He frowned slightly and looked seriously at the mole-faced man who spoke at the beginning.
A trace of impatience flashed across the man’s eyes. “So what if it is? Does a brat like you have the right to speak? What is this Zang Wei doing? He arranged a little guy to this table!”
Lin Yan ignored him. Someone really wanted to cause trouble at Eldest Senior Brother’s wedding.
A cold light slowly surfaced in his eyes.
Eldest Senior Brother’s wedding was a good day. He could not let anyone ruin it.
Hence, he turned around and waved at Song Tian, who was sitting at another table.
Song Tian immediately walked to Lin Yan’s side and bowed slightly. “Lord.”
Song Tian’s appearance was extraordinary. As soon as he came over, he attracted the attention of the others. A few of them stared at him non-stop, as if they recognized something. There was suspicion on their faces, but they could not be sure.
“I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on the outside…”
After Lin Yan gave his orders in a low voice, Song Tian received the orders and left.
Song Tian was the eldest son of the Song family, which was one of the richest families in Ding’an City. Naturally, many people recognized him.
Many people present had already recognized him, but they could not be sure.
After all, the eldest son of the Song family, whose status was not much lower than the n.o.ble Realm cultivators present, actually bowed down to someone and became a follower?
They could not believe it at all!
For a moment, the table fell silent. Everyone at the table carefully sized up Lin Yan and distinguished his background.
The new husband and wife were about to enter the hall and the ceremony was about to begin. However, the atmosphere at the table became more and more oppressive. No one started a topic casually.
Not long after, Song Tian rushed back and whispered into Lin Yan’s ear.
Lin Yan nodded and stood up. “Wait for me here. If Eldest Senior Brother comes over, tell him that I’m going to settle some private matters.”
“Yes.”
Lin Yan was about to leave when another bald man rushed in.
He looked troubled. He gritted his teeth and leaned over, whispering into the ears of the mole-faced guest.
However, the mole-faced man had an irritated expression and did not listen to him. He said impatiently, “I said that we won’t get involved in the matters of Dragon Gate Pavilion. Don’t you understand?!”
The bald man’s face stiffened, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. “But, after all…”
“No buts! Kui Shan, remember your ident.i.ty!”
At this moment, Lin Yan finally saw the bald man clearly. It was actually the guard leader of the Bright Jade Building, Kui Shan, who had recommended him into Dragon Gate Pavilion back then!
“Master Kui!”
Kui Shan didn’t expect anyone to call him. He looked up in shock and carefully identified Lin Yan. He exclaimed in surprise, “You’re… Lin, Lin…”
“Lin Yan.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Why are you here?”
“It’s a long story.” Lin Yan cupped his fists and said apologetically, “Master Kui, it’s been a long time. I should catch up with you, but I still have something urgent to deal with. I’ll toast you when I return!”
“Uh, okay, sure.”
His expression was stiff, as if he had a lot on his mind.
After Lin Yan left, everyone fell silent again.
Especially the man with the mole face. He looked at Song Tian and then at Kui Shan.
Both of them were at the Tough Realm, but their statuses were worlds apart.
Song Tian was extremely respectful to the young man, but the young man was very respectful to Kui Shan?
Could he have seen wrongly? This guy was not Song Tian at all. He just looked like Song Tian?
It was obvious that someone had the same idea as him. The cold-faced guest on the left scrutinized Song Tian and said cautiously, “Are you Young Master Song from the Song family?”
Song Tian turned his head and straightened his expression. “So it’s Senior Que, the Flying Dragon. I was too focused just now and didn’t see you. Sorry.”
There was a hint of shock in that person’s smile. “It’s really Young Master Song. Young Master Song is also friends with Dragon Gate Pavilion?”
Song Tian shook his head. “No friends. It’s just that my lord was a disciple of Dragon Gate Pavilion, so I followed him here.”
“Your lord?” The cold-faced man was shocked and asked carefully, “It’s that young man just now. I wonder where he came from?”
Song Tian said awkwardly, “Lord likes to keep a low profile. Without his permission, I don’t dare to casually reveal his ident.i.ty. I’m sorry, Senior Que.”
The cold-faced man stroked his beard awkwardly and smiled. “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
The shock in his eyes intensified. From Song Tian’s att.i.tude, it was obvious that he respected that young man very much. He was so young and was called Lord-
Could it be someone from the Demon Suppression Division?
The man with the mole frowned and looked at the shocked Kui Shan beside him. He whispered, “Kui Shan, who was that person just now?!”
The shock in Kui Shan’s eyes did not fade. He had only met Lin Yan once, so he told him about how Lin Yan had looked for him with the token and was recommended to the Dragon Gate Pavilion.
The surrounding guests, including Song Tian, all p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen.
The cold-faced man revealed a surprised expression. Was he a local poor boy from a humble background?
How could such a person be respected by Song Tian so much?
Could it be that this kid had climbed onto Liu Lanqing’s bed in the Demon Suppression Division? But with his appearance and temperament, he was not handsome enough. He did not look like a gigolo!
Song Tian was also shocked when he heard that. He did not expect his lord to have such a background!
In less than half a year, the poor boy actually had the strength to suppress the n.o.ble Realm!
With such talent, no wonder he was specially promoted by the Lord of the Demon Suppression Division to set up the fifth patrol team!
After another moment of silence, Lin Yan slowly walked back with a calm expression.
Song Tian cupped his hands again and asked, “Lord, is everything settled?”
Lin Yan nodded casually. “I’ll still have to trouble you. Be careful. I’m worried that more than one group of people will come to cause trouble.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Song Tian was not surprised that he had dealt with the Four Alliances Gang.
Back then, Lin Yan’s combat strength in the Song family was stronger than Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang’s.
Recently, there were even rumors in the Demon Suppression Division that he had captured Qin Xiang and thrown him into the hall.
With such strength, the Four Alliances Gang was just a piece of cake.
Song Tian left, but the remaining guests could not help but reveal a hint of surprise.
Solved?
How long had he been gone?
He resolved the matter just like that?
Even if he persuaded them to go back, it would take some effort, right?
They knew that the Four Alliances Gang had not gone to the Dragon Gate Pavilion just to cause trouble. They had gathered the n.o.ble Realms and several Tough Realms. It was obvious that they wanted to turn the wedding into a funeral!
What kind of method could actually make the Four Alliances Gang return in defeat?
However, Lin Yan’s indifferent att.i.tude and Song Tian’s matter-of-fact expression could not be faked.
Who was this young man?
“Master Kui.”
Regardless of what the others thought, Lin Yan picked up the wine pot on the table, poured two gla.s.ses of wine, and handed one to Kui Shan respectfully.
Kui Shan subconsciously took it, but when he thought of their conversation and Lin Yan’s abnormality, he felt that this wine should not be taken so easily. It was too casual.
Lin Yan picked up another gla.s.s of wine. “Master Kui, thank you for your recommendation that day. Let me toast you!”
Kui Shan finished his wine and couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Yan, did you go to stop the Four Alliances Gang just now?”
Lin Yan nodded. “They won’t cause trouble again.”
Kui Shan heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a smile. “Although I don’t know what method you used to persuade them to return, you’re good. The calamity of the Dragon Gate Pavilion has finally pa.s.sed.”
However, he quickly revealed a worried expression. “It’s just that the Four Alliances Gang hates the Dragon Gate Pavilion to the core. Sigh, I don’t know what to do next time.”
Lin Yan hesitated for a moment before saying truthfully, “Master Kui, don’t worry. They… will never cause trouble again!”
In an instant, Kui Shan’s hand that was holding the wine gla.s.s froze for a moment. Even the actions of everyone at the table froze for a moment.
“They’ll never come?” Kui Shan swallowed and asked in disbelief.
Lin Yan nodded and said softly, “Yes, it’s all ‘solved’.”
Solved this way, or that way?
Everyone at the table sucked in a breath of cold air, their pupils constricting like needles.
One n.o.ble Realm! Several Tough Realms!
They… were all settled? With death?
If it was any other time, they wouldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.
However, Song Tian and Lin Yan’s att.i.tude just now made them subconsciously suspect something. What if he was telling the truth?
At this moment, the groom, Zang Wei, came to the table with a pot of wine.
“Junior Brother Lin, why are you still standing? Hurry up and sit down.”
Lin Yan quickly sat down.
“Eh, Junior Brother Lin, on your sleeve, this is…”
Zang Wei patted his sleeve.
Lin Yan raised his hand to take a look. At some point, the cuffs of his rough clothes were stained with starry red spots in the shape of plum blossoms. They were extremely dazzling.
The guests present were not ordinary people. From the corner of their eyes, they acutely saw the blood. Their pupils constricted violently. This was clearly… blood!
Lin Yan immediately retracted his sleeves to cover the bloodstains. His gaze was cold as he glanced at all the guests present.
An invisible power spread out.
All the guests were shocked by the bloodstains and the cold light in his eyes. They kept quiet.
Then, he turned to Zang Wei and smiled. “Perhaps it’s because I b.u.mped into the wedding invitation just now and stained my clothes with the color. Let’s not talk about this. Eldest Senior Brother, today is your big day. Let me toast you!”
Zang Wei didn’t mind. He raised his gla.s.s and clinked it with Lin Yan’s. Then, he put down the gla.s.s and pressed Lin Yan’s shoulder as he introduced them one by one.
“This is the East Mountain Palm, Senior Hong. This is Senior Hu. This is Senior
Que…”
Everyone revealed an unnatural smile as he introduced them one by one. They cupped their fists at Lin Yan.
“These seniors are all my master’s long-time friends. They’re also famous figures in Ding’an City. It’s because of their protection that I dare to reopen the door of Dragon Gate Pavilion.”
Lin Yan glanced at everyone meaningfully. “I see…”
Everyone’s expressions became even more unnatural.
After everyone was done introducing, Zang Wei solemnly introduced, “Seniors, this is my junior brother. He’s also working for the Demon Suppression Division. He’s now the captain of the fifth team of the Patrol Camp, Lin Yan!”
Everyone’s expressions changed as they looked at Lin Yan in shock.
They had long heard that the Demon Suppression Division’s Patrol Camp originally only had four teams, but a few days ago, another team was suddenly established.
It was said that the new team leader’s ident.i.ty was extremely mysterious. He was an extremely powerful and ruthless person. Even the peerless genius of the first team, Qin Xiang, suffered a huge loss at his hands.
Some people said that it was a mysterious person from the prefecture capital, while others said that it was a mysterious genius discovered by the Order Issuer of the Demon Suppression Division.
They did not expect him to be such an ordinary young man!
