After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

These figures serving the dishes are not the waiters from Tianxiazhen.

Instead, they were all robust and powerful warriors and guards.

The guards, with broadswords at their waists, clattered as they walked, adding a touch of clamor to the otherwise deathly silent hall.

The guards who had served the food did not go downstairs.

They stood around the square table against the wall, each holding a knife handle.

His expression was cold, and he remained silent, exuding a chilling aura.

This doesn't look like they're serving food.

This is clearly a threat from above!

Anyone who refuses the proposals of the four major clans will inevitably be hunted down by this group of sword-wielding warriors.

Many people were so angry that they trembled all over and felt a chill run through their bodies.

The attitude of the four major clans was even more forceful than expected...

Gu Xin wasn't surprised, but considering that Chen Tong wouldn't sit idly by and let the four major clans succeed, he didn't care too much.

As he was pondering, Gu Xin suddenly felt someone touch his leg.

Gu Xin turned his head and saw that his master, Yang Wei, had picked up his chopsticks and was gesturing to him with his eyes.

eat?

Seeing his master Yang Wei remain calm and eat without any hesitation, Gu Xin couldn't help but admire him even more.

The fact that he could still eat in this situation shows how magnanimous he is.

"If we don't eat now, we'll miss our chance!"

Yang Wei turned slightly to the side and whispered a reminder.

Gu Xinwen understood immediately and, without hesitation, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Fragrant!

As expected of a world-renowned restaurant, their culinary skills are truly exceptional.

Yang Wei ate and drank while ignoring the proposals of the four major clans.

Gu Xin focused solely on eating, his mouth greasy despite not drinking a drop of alcohol. He imitated his master's mannerisms, ignoring the tense atmosphere around him.

Compared to the rest of the people at the table who were tense and uneasy, not daring to move an inch, the master and apprentice were clearly much more relaxed.

Damn it...

When Master Sun saw the behavior of Gu Xin and his apprentice Yang Wei, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

He slammed his teacup down on the table again, trying to remind the two of the atmosphere.

As a result, the master and apprentice didn't listen at all and paid no attention, eating and drinking as they pleased, feeling carefree and at ease.

Those two bastards...

Master Sun made a move to slam his fist on the table and shout angrily, but Master Qian stopped him by raising his hand.

Master Qian smiled and glanced at Gu Xin and his apprentice Yang Wei, showing no sign of displeasure. Instead, he warmly invited the other guests at the table to eat, saying with a smile, "Eat! Everyone, eat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks, but none of them knew where to place them.

Mr. Qian rubbed the iron ball, his smile unchanged. He looked around, taking in the expressions of everyone at the table.

As the smile faded, it grew ever wider.

"Master Ma, are you going to oppose our proposal?"

After taking a sip of tea, Master Qian turned to Ma Biao, the owner of the Biao Ma Martial Arts School, and asked him a question.

"No, no, no, I had absolutely no such intention!"

Ma Biao was fiddling with the food in his bowl when he heard this. He immediately put down his chopsticks and waved his hand, vehemently denying his behavior.

"So, that means you agree?"

As Mr. Qian pressed on with a smile, Ma Biao's expression became noticeably stiff.

It's either opposition or agreement.

Who said that?

Ma Biao subconsciously looked at Yang Wei, hoping that Yang Wei would be the first to express his opinion.

But the master and apprentice were eating with great relish, not even lifting their eyelids.

Ma Biao's heart sank instantly, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

Master Qian saw that he was wary and dared not express his opinion easily, so he deliberately used him as a warning to others.

He is a Qi Creation Realm expert. As long as he doesn't dare to object, the other martial arts families who are only at the peak of the Blood Strengthening Realm or even the late stage of the Blood Strengthening Realm will be even less likely to object.

At that time, the situation will be one-sided, and the proposals of the four major clans will proceed smoothly.

As for Yang Wei?

All the martial arts masters in the city agreed, and Yang Wei, all alone, was destined to be unable to support the cause by himself.

Did you really think that Mr. Qian couldn't see the relaxed and carefree attitude of Yang Wei and his apprentice as they ate and drank to their hearts' content?

They saw through it, but deliberately left it hanging.

Yang Wei's prestige is now higher than his, and he clearly shows an unwillingness to cooperate.

Using it as a cautionary tale is clearly inappropriate.

If Yang Wei objects, the situation will spiral out of control.

hateful!

Ma Biao's eyes were noticeably more gloomy.

Deep down, he did not want to become a vassal of the four major clans.

But with his abilities, how could he possibly be qualified to fight against the four great clans?

"Master Ma, give me a straight answer: for or against!"

Master Sun slammed his hand on the table, urging him on, his expression becoming impatient.

As soon as Master Sun finished speaking, all the guards with swords in the room turned their gazes toward Ma Biao.

The guards' fingers gripped the hilts of their swords tightly, intensifying the chilling atmosphere.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Ma Biao couldn't help but sweat a little.

"I agree! Your actions are a blessing for the world."

Ma Biao dared not resist any longer, breathed a sigh of relief, and made his choice.

It's no wonder he lacked backbone; he was outmatched and had no choice but to back down.

"Excellent! Master Ma, you are truly righteous!"

Mr. Qian laughed heartily and didn't forget to compliment Ma Biao.

Ma Biao, however, showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, his back hunched over.

His entire demeanor was listless, and his appearance seemed to have aged several years.

"And you all?"

Master Qian looked around the room and then asked the other martial arts masters.

The martial arts masters in the room exchanged glances, all seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.

What can they do when the tide is turning?

"I agree!"

"I think it's a good idea!"

"The noble character of the four clans is a fortunate thing."

"support!"

In no time, there was a constant stream of responses.

None of the martial arts masters in the room dared to object anymore.

Soon, of all the martial arts figures at the table, only Yang Wei remained silent.

Swish swish!

All eyes in the room turned to Yang Wei without prior arrangement.

coming!

Noticing the gazes around him, Gu Xinhu slowed down his eating and drinking slightly.

"Master Yang, are these dishes to your liking?"

Mr. Qian's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Yang Wei and began to inquire.

The question is about the dish, but it's not really about the dish.

Gu Xin glanced at Master Qian, then silently swallowed the meat in his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wei put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with the red silk on the table, and then shook his head with a smile: "The food tastes good."

"Oh?"

Mr. Qian raised an eyebrow and his gaze became intense.

"It's just that the plating is a bit ugly."

Before Master Qian could ask for further details, Yang Wei's laughter rang out.

Mr. Qian's burning gaze froze for a moment, and the smile on his face stiffened.

"Master, I'm full!"

Gu Xin wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Yang Wei, and smiled.

"Then shouldn't we thank the gentlemen for their hospitality?"

Yang Wei smiled sideways.

Gu Xin immediately stood up, looked at the four clan elders, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I am unworthy of such a treat, and feel ashamed to accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wei stood up and smiled at the four clan elders, saying, "I am grateful for your hospitality today. I will host another banquet when I have time in the future to thank you all for your hospitality."

"You are all busy with your affairs, so we, master and disciple, will not disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
