Chapter 601: I just want face
In the blink of an eye, it was August 8th.
On the 8th, mcmau would hold another Grandmaster's banquet!
On this day, mcmau's main gate was wide open. Red cloth hung high, and the atmosphere was jubilant.
At the entrance, it was the same as last time. The students lined up to welcome the guests.
However, compared to this time, although the time gap was not long, the quality was a world of difference!
"There are close to 300 middle-ranked students!
This time, all the middle-ranked students lined up to welcome him. They wore the same standard battle armor and a red cape over the armor ...
The grandmasters saw this scene from far away.
Many people shook their heads helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
What a huge formation!
What a big show!
Hundreds of middle-ranked martial artists as doormen, how flamboyant, how wild!
Middle-ranked martial artists and martial arts university students were all lieutenants in the military department, and inspectors in the local areas.
Apart from the three ministries and four prefectures, there was no one else who could come up with such a lineup.
Even for a famous school like ccmau, unless all the instructors were sent to the battle ...
"General Kuang! This t.i.tle is good, it's crazy!"
"There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames."
"Hahaha ..."
"Young people should be more flamboyant. That's what you call a young person. You're all like us. You don't have any hot-bloodedness or drive. Are you still called a young person?"
The elders did not get angry and just laughed.
What age, what status, what kind of things he did.
"This is what a young man should be like!"
Someone sighed.
Young man!
The young Fang ping could be as arrogant as he wanted. He could pretend to be a boss one second and a grandson the next. Everyone would only give him a smile and not care too much.
However, if it was someone else, an older person.
With Fang Ping's flamboyant att.i.tude, no matter how precious the invitation was, the possibility of it being thrown out was not small.
If he was at Wu kuishan's age and sent that kind of invitation to Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao would think that he was an idiot and deliberately provoked him.
But because he was young, in Zhang Tao's eyes, his bravado was no different from a child showing off his lollipop. He only found it fun, funny, and a little cute.
Although this guy was not cute at all!
In the air.
Some experts didn't land or go down.
At this moment, Zhang Tao, who was in mid-air, swept his gaze below. He looked at Fang ping and chuckled."This kid needs a beating! Everyone is here to attend his Grandmaster's banquet, but he still deliberately p.r.i.c.ks people's hearts. He'll be punished sooner or later!"
By the side, Nan yunyue said indifferently,"in a few more years, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to deal with him. Why don't we take this opportunity to deal with him?" Department head Zhang, you don't have any objections, right?"
"What opinion can I have?" Zhang Tao smiled and said,"but you have to think carefully ... This kid's family is rich now, and he's full of confidence. "Wu kuishan, li Changsheng, Oh right, and also Guardian Wu, commander Tian, Minister Nan, you have to think it through."
Nan yunyue snorted and said indifferently,"All four of you together!"
At the side, Wu Chuan glanced at her and chuckled."Minister Nan, if this kid is willing to offer 10 divine weapons, I really don't mind giving it a try."
"You think you can defeat me now that you've obtained a 9th-grade divine weapon?" Nan yunyue sneered.
"I don't have that thought. I have no opinion and absolutely agree with Minister Nan's decision to deal with this kid. But Minister Nan's words just now clearly mean that he doesn't take us seriously ..."
"Why are you fussing over a woman?" Tian Mu said loudly from the side.
In the past, the rank-8 Tian Mu loved to provoke this and that.
Now that he was rank-9, Tian Mu was even more daring.
I didn't make a mistake today. I'm just provoking you, and you're even fighting four of them by yourself.
The three ministries and four prefectures had all arrived.
The leaders of the two ministries had come personally. The Guardian, Wu Chuan, had also come personally. Li deyong represented the military. As for the other three manors, Zhang Weiyu was not present to handle matters. He had also sent a rank-8 golden body powerhouse to wait at the side. The other two manors had sent a rank-7 each.
Apart from these representatives, Minister w.a.n.g from the Education Ministry and Tian Mu from the military Ministry came in private.
On the other side, the northern spear King, w.a.n.g Yu, represented the central government and came to congratulate them. He was also very respectful.
At this very moment, there were 5 rank-9s and one Paragon gathered here!
On the other side, in midair, su Haoran led a few juniors from Star Town City to nod at Zhang Tao. He was also a rank-9.
In addition to su Haoran, there was also a handsome black-haired man. He looked very young, but he was also a level nine expert.
Zhang Tao took a look, smiled, and nodded in response. He was slightly surprised and said,""The Jiang clan's clan master has actually come. That's strange."
He wasn't surprised to see someone from star suppression city.
However, two rank-9s had come at once, which was really a little surprising.
As for the rank-8 Li Mo and Zheng Yu, they had also come. Zhang Tao did not care much about this. It was only right for Li Mo and Zheng Yu to come.
The two of them were still alive because Fang ping saved them.
Previously, the relations.h.i.+p between the two sides was not very harmonious, and they were both injured, so it was fine if they didn't say anything.
Now that Fang ping had broken through, the invitation had been sent to Star Town City. It would be inexcusable if the two of them did not come at this time.
Two rank-9s and two rank-8s came to Star Town all of a sudden. Such a lineup was not weak.
At this moment, there were 7 rank-9s and one Paragon in the air.
Zhang Tao looked around again and chuckled,""So many people from the martial arts world came. When did he have a relations.h.i.+p with a martial artist?"
He had already seen many experts of the martial arts world.
In the current sect world, Zhao xingwu was the only rank-9.
"However, Zhao xingwu has to take charge of the catacombs in Zhongzhou, so he did not come this time.
However, there were not many rank-8s in the world of sects, and there were quite a few of them this time.
The green-robed woman from Qingtian mountain had almost become old man Li's master's wife, and the two of them had fought each other.
On w.a.n.gwu sect's side, Zhao xingwu's eldest direct disciple, the only rank-8 golden body powerhouse, had also come this time.
Such a formation was enough to show respect for Fang ping.
"Qingtian mountain has a friendly relations.h.i.+p with mcmau, sect leader Zhong ..." Wu Chuan laughed when he heard this.
Speaking of this woman, Wu Chuan couldn't really say anything. He was the former Vice-Chancellor's student, and she was one generation older than him.
"As for Mount w.a.n.gwu, Alliance master Zhao met Fang ping last time and they had a good conversation. Now that Fang ping has broken through, it's not surprising that he's here."
Zhang Tao laughed. Fang ping had a wide circle of friends.
The few of them were not in a hurry to go down. Zhang Tao glanced at mcmau below and said slowly, "Mcmau's strength is indeed getting stronger. The number of middle-ranked martial artists has increased greatly. There's still hope for them to take down Sky Gate City.
However ... If they were to really fight, the number of casualties would not be low.
"Fang ping, this kid, is bent on acc.u.mulating strength for mcmau. He suffered heavy losses. Isn't he worried about mcmau's downfall again?"
Wu Chuan said in a deep voice,"the military department's agreement to start a war with mcmau is still out of my expectations." If they really had to fight, would Wu kuishan and Li Changsheng be able to take down the sky Gate City Lord and the sky Gate tree?
In li Changsheng's condition ... If a huge battle were to continue, he might exhaust all his life force and die. "
"Why don't you let me take li Changsheng's place ..." Tian Mu said coldly.
"That won't do!"
Zhang Tao denied,"if we really want to fight, it can only be mcmau!" "You're from the military department, and Guardian Wu is from the house of guardians. Do you really think that the catacombs is completely unknown?
"They have records of our rank-9 combat strength.
If you make a move, it would mean an all-out war, which would be completely different from now. "
"But there's still a rank-8 in Sky Gate City ..."
The sky Gate City today had two rank-9s, one rank-8, and a lot fewer rank-7s. There were still three rank-7s left.
If Wu kuishan could hold off two rank-9s by himself, old man Li would take care of the rank-8s, and the others would gang up on the three rank-7s, then the high-ranked side would definitely win.
However, if Wu kuishan could not hold on ...
Just as Tian Mu finished speaking, Zhang Tao said calmly,"If we really wanted to fight, it wouldn't be like this. If rank-9s were already like this, then rank-8s ... Monster Sunflower City might have a rank-8s, and a few rank-7s as well.
"So, whether we fight or not, I'll make it clear to the mcmau guys later.
Today, the military department and the other departments would not mobilize a large number of troops for mcmau's matters.
The strong are also like a pit for each carrot ..."
When Zhang Tao said this, he suddenly laughed and said,"This kid is doing this on purpose, right?"
Hearing this, everyone looked down and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Mcmau.
Fang ping was welcoming the grandmasters enthusiastically.
It should not have been a problem for him, a Grandmaster who had just broken through, to not come to the Grandmaster's banquet.
But Fang ping was here!
His face was full of smiles, his face was humble, and he was extremely friendly.
Such an action should have been worthy of praise.
But at this moment, everyone suddenly felt that it was best for this fellow to get lost now.
Just as Fang ping was welcoming the crowd, another person came, but he was not a powerhouse.
From far away, the person smiled and laughed loudly,""Brother, I'm here!"
Fang Yuan was here!
Now that Fang ping had become a Grandmaster, it was only right for his family to come.
However ... In the next moment, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
The little girl came to congratulate her brother. What a heartwarming scene.
However, this girl had put a birthday hat on Fang ping. What was the meaning of this?
A birthday hat was nothing!
The key was the line of prominent big words on it: "Happy 20th Birthday, brother!"
Did he have to write it so clearly on the birthday hat?
Who would write on their hat on their birthday?
A 20-year-old with a red mark!
Whose child was so annoying!
There was even a round smiley face at the end of the line. Was he laughing at them?
What an annoying brat!
We didn't lose our memories!
Fang Yuan did not think too much about it. She put the birthday hat on Fang Ping's head with a smile and said happily,"Brother, I wish you a Happy Birthday. I wish you a rank-7 today, a rank-8 tomorrow, and a rank-9 the day after!"
The few old grandmasters at the entrance felt even more upset.
It was heart-wrenching!
But what could a sister say when she was celebrating her brother's birthday?
As for Fang Ping, he was also all smiles. He pinched Fang Yuan's cheek while chuckling. 'Gungun, Gungun, I didn't dote on you for nothing!'
As for the gazes of the guests, Fang ping felt that he was innocent. 'I'm wearing the birthday hat my sister gave me. Is there anything wrong with that?'
He was 20 years old, the year of the crown!
It means that I'm an adult now. From now on, I'm an adult, not a child.
At this time, my sister's kind intention was to personally make a birthday hat for me. I can't just leave it aside, right?
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, did not think so much.
Her brother had said that he was already 20 years old and hoped that she would give him a birthday hat to mark his age. Fang Yuan felt that her brother was very considerate of her. Otherwise, she really did not know what to give him in such a short time.
Now that her brother wanted a hat and a birthday cake, Fang Yuan felt that Fang ping would be considerate of her.
Therefore, Fang Yuan, who was standing beside Fang ping, was also laughing like a fool at this moment.
In the air.
"Do you think ... He did it on purpose or not?" Zhang Tao was amused.
"I did it on purpose,"
Wu Chuan didn't even think about it. This kid was evil. If he said it was unintentional ... Who would believe it!
Brat!
But she was sent by his younger sister, a young girl in her teens. What could he do?
He was already an adult. If he was unhappy because of a child's actions, how could he still be a Grandmaster?
At this moment, Tian Mu suddenly laughed."The others are taking advantage of their seniority, but this kid is pretending to be young. I'll go down first. You guys do as you please!"
After saying this, Tian Mu descended from the sky.
The next moment, Tian Mu laughed,"Fang ping!" I'm 20 years old. If I have a great-grandson, he should be around your age. Congratulations!"
Fang Ping's expression froze when he heard this.
In the next moment, an old man with white hair and a white beard laughed and said,"Yeah, he's about the same age as my great-grandson. His achievements are limitless!"
My grandson is a few years older than Fang ping ..."
"My great-grandson is about the same as him ..."
"Heaven's pride is indeed heaven's pride. Even his grandson has achieved rank-7. We're really old."
The old men and women were all smiling again, and they were all laughing happily.
The way he looked at Fang ping was as if he was looking at his grandson.
Grandson, weren't you pretending to be young?
Didn't she want to stab his heart?
How old are we? how can this little thing hurt us?
You continue showing off!
If you have the ability, turn into a 10-year-old and see if our hearts will be pierced?
One by one, the grandmasters brought their descendants or disciples in through the door. All of them were full of smiles. There were a few kind-looking old ladies who even touched Fang Ping's head. That gaze, that posture ...
Fang Ping's expression was gloomy. 'That's right, why do I have to pretend to be young!'
"We're all of the same level of strength. Logically speaking, I should show my Grandmaster's bearing and be more high-profile.
In the end ... With their att.i.tudes, I can't even reason with them.
When he saw Tian Mu, who was the first to shout out these words, Fang Ping's face was full of grievance. 'This old man is so bad. He's trying to suppress me right after he arrived. An evil guest has come!'
Tian Mu looked at him with a smile and reached out to stroke Fang Ping's head. He sighed, "It's good to be young. No one will care if you lose face and get stepped on.
When you're my age, you won't be able to act anymore. "
These words were truly filled with endless emotions.
This kind of thing was more suitable for Fang ping.
Of course, calling him 'grandson' was suitable for Fang ping now.
If Fang ping was really in his seventies or eighties, Tian MU's words would definitely form a deadly feud.
Tian Mu was the first to land. Soon, the others followed suit.
Wu Chuan glanced at Fang ping and laughed."You do whatever you are at your age and whatever status you have. Today, you are a student, a 20-year-old young man. After today, you will be a Grandmaster!
"Being a Grandmaster is not something that can be said with words. Otherwise, you can only be called a high-ranked martial artist, not a Grandmaster. Do you understand what I mean?"
Fang ping nodded quickly and chuckled."Senior brother Wu, don't worry. I'm taking advantage of today to let loose. "From now on, I, Fang ping, am also a Grandmaster. Naturally, I will not disgrace the honor of a Grandmaster."
Once the Grandmaster's banquet was held, no matter how old or young he was, a Grandmaster had to have the bearing of a Grandmaster.
At that time, no matter what he did, no one would really treat him like a child.
Some people could accept his insolence, but some people would bear a grudge.
As they were talking, someone in the air laughed loudly and said,"Congratulations, Grandmaster Fang! "Grandmaster Fang is invincible, sweeping aside all rank-7 powerhouses ..."
Fang Ping's face twitched!
d.a.m.n, this fatty is deliberately setting me up, right?
Before fatty could finish his sentence, he was cut off!
Yes, it was cut off!
The handsome young martial artist next to the fat man grabbed the fat man's neck as if he was grabbing a chicken's neck and dropped him to the ground.
Fatty started to roll his eyes!
Is the old man really going to strangle me to death?
I'm just saying. I'm just used to it. Why do you have to do this?
Jiang Chao's grandfather did not give fatty a chance to speak. He smiled and nodded at Fang ping. "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you earlier. "
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster Jiang,"Fang ping said hurriedly."I've troubled you."
"It's a good thing that the little fatty is still alive. Nothing else matters. "
Jiang Yuanhua didn't care too much. As long as Jiang Chao and Jiang Hao were still alive, that was enough.
If Jiang Chao had died because of Fang ping, Jiang Yuanhua would not be in this state.
Since he was not dead, everything could be discussed.
Fang ping quickly exchanged a few pleasantries. Jiang Yuanhua did not give the fatty a chance to speak. He grabbed him and followed the people from mcmau to the banquet venue.
Jiang Chao was very aggrieved. The old man had gone too far!
He didn't leave any face for me!
Forget it, most people didn't know him anyway. The key was ... F * ck, that bald guy was following behind him as if he was watching a show. He was just short of munching on melon seeds!
At this moment, Qin Fengqing was indeed following behind him to watch the show!
He wasn't a student, so he didn't need to receive guests.
Since he had nothing to do, he heard Fatty's roar and ran out to check on the situation. In the end, he saw fatty being dragged inside by his grandfather like a dead dog. Qin Fengqing wanted to hold his stomach and laugh out loud.
This d.a.m.n Fatty's skills in flattery are pretty good!
No wonder there was not much use in flattering Fang ping recently. Had this d.a.m.n fatty finished all the flattery he wanted to?
It was very possible!
Now that he saw Jiang Chao being dragged away by his grandfather, Qin Fengqing gloated over his misfortune.
Fang ping could not be bothered to care about Qin Fengqing and Jiang Chao's matters.
At this moment, Fang ping continued to receive guests.
It was easy to deal with ordinary people. When Chen yaoting arrived, the old man said,""He's already a rank-7 and an adult at the age of 20. He's cultivating his body to unite the family, rule the country, and pacify the world. He's already cultivated his body to the Golden body. It's time to unite the family!"
Fang ping was dumbfounded.
Was this how one understood ... Body cultivation?
Alright, since the old man insisted on explaining it this way, he had nothing to say.
"The key is that when you're talking, you look at me and your granddaughter at the same time. Chen Yunxi even looks shy. This gives me a lot of pressure.
I'm only 20 years old!
Fang Yuan, who he had just praised for being sensible, was now taking an energy fruit from Chen Yunxi and calling her "sister-in-law" in a soft voice with a smile. What the h.e.l.l was that?
You're selling your brother for an energy fruit?
I'm a Grandmaster now!
Even if you sell it ... If I don't give you a few hundred catties of life essence, will you just sell it?
How could this girl be so easily fooled!
No wonder she was so silly. She did whatever he asked her to do and gave him a birthday hat just like that. She said that she was not talented, but when someone corrected her, she could say that they didn't understand.
AI!
She was so silly that she didn't know what to do in the future.
Fang ping did not say anything. He followed suit with a silly smile, like a real fool. Chen yaoting did not know if he should continue.
Chen yaoting did not know whether to laugh or cry, so he did not say anything else.
He had only mentioned this because Fang ping and Chen Yunxi seemed to have some sort of omen.
Fang ping did not respond, and he did not want to say anything more.
After Chen yaoting, the others entered one after another.
Su Haoran led the juniors of star suppression city to the ground. This rank-nine Grandmaster, who previously said that he would never lead a team out again, went back on his words. No one knew about the oath he had made.
Back then, he had sworn that he would kill himself if he led a team out again.
It was a pity that Fang ping did not know about this. Otherwise, even if he did not say anything, he would have tricked fatty into provoking this great Grandmaster.
After su Haoran, it was li deyong and the others.
In the end, Zhang Tao and Nan yunyue both missed.
Important figures were always the last to arrive. Even if they came early, they had to be the last.
However, as he watched the two of them fail at the same time ... Fang ping could not help but criticize them in his heart.
Old Zhang and Nan yunyue ... Wouldn't do that, right?
He did not know if the Paragon could see through people's hearts, or if old Zhang had seen something in his eyes. He did not say much, but when he entered the door, he accidentally stepped on Fang Ping's foot!
Yes, a Paragon had accidentally stepped on someone while walking!
It was the same as when he had accidentally b.u.mped into the catacombs rank-9 the last time. In any case, Fang ping could not feel where his feet were at this moment.
After old Zhang left, Fang ping glanced at his feet, which had turned into dough, and felt a little helpless.
The Paragon was actually so petty!
He didn't even open his mouth to say anything!
When old Zhang arrived, everyone was present.
This time, there were many grandmasters. Fang ping did a quick count and found that there were about 150 of them.
With so many grandmasters, it was more than enough to annihilate a cave.
Most of the grandmasters from Sino nation who were idle and did not need to go to the catacombs for the time being had already arrived.
After the grandmasters had gone to the banquet hall, Fang ping was not in a hurry to go.
At the side, where the gifts were placed, Fang ping used his mentality to scan the area. After a long time, he could not help but curse softly,"A bunch of old men and women, don't you feel bad coming here to eat and drink for free?"
Such a Grand display, such a Grand formation!
He had thought that he would be cramping up his hands and drooling from counting the money when he received gifts.
The result was good!
He had actually collected a pile of calligraphy and paintings!
The key was that they were not antiques, but drawings written by the old men and women themselves.
Even though the paintings and calligraphy of grandmasters were all in high demand, could he sell these things?
Obviously not!
At the same time.
At the banquet.
The group of grandmasters chatted and laughed, extremely satisfied!
For today's banquet, all the meat was demonic beast meat. At the scene, the energy was so dense that it was almost turning into mist. A certain rich and overbearing person had moved the equipment for the energy stones over and directly burned the energy stones to release energy. The huge banquet hall was like a paradise!
Fruits. Those were all energy fruits. If not for the consideration of their face, the grandmasters would have been ready to eat dozens of plates of them!
Some of the young martial artists, including those from Star Town City, were a little stunned. Fang ping was really bold!
These grandmasters were also very satisfied with the gifts they had given.
Someone laughed."I heard that Fang ping likes to collect some of the high-ranked martial artists 'calligraphy and paintings. Is this what everyone is preparing this time?"
"You prepared these as well?"
"That's right. Since Fang ping likes it, we can't give him ordinary things. It's fine as long as he likes it. "
The grandmasters laughed happily. This was what Fang ping had said himself.
Back in Tiannan catacombs, many grandmasters had heard it. These words could not be false. He liked to collect, and everyone catered to his interests. Fang ping should be very satisfied.
In the crowd, Wu kuishan was also laughing. He was laughing so hard that he was almost in tears.
Kid, I'll let you have your way!
What a big loss!
"This kid doesn't like to collect high-ranked martial artists 'calligraphy and paintings. He likes to collect promissory notes.
Now that there was no IOU, there was a pile of calligraphy and paintings. It could be used as an exhibition hall.
As for Fang Ping's wasteful behavior and the countless good things he threw out, Wu kuishan could not be bothered to chide him. These things were worth a divine weapon at most.
In the past, he had thought that divine weapons were rare and priceless ... But now, it was just like that!
What they had eaten and absorbed now, they would return to that kid later.
"Most importantly, mcmau has indeed gained a lot of face today!
"In the past, some old guys thought that martial arts universities are stingy. Do they still think so now?
"Mcmau may lack everything but money!
You're all so envious and jealous!
Wu kuishan laughed happily, but very quickly, his happy mood was dampened. d.a.m.n it, why was everyone talking about that kid? mcmau's Vice-Chancellor was still here!
