Yanchuan City.

Taizuping in the city.

In Yanchuan City under the rule of Jingguo, Taizuping was the most sacred and majestic place in the entire Yanchuan, without exception.

Because there is a statue of Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty that is about ten zhang tall here.

Emperor Taizu of Jing, the founding emperor of the Jing Kingdom!

Awe-inspiring!

This is the most iconic building in Yanchuan, the wartime capital.

Su Ye chose this location for the investiture ceremony to express his condolences for the great man and his unwavering loyalty to the country.

Our great motherland is prosperous and strong. No matter when or where we are, what our status is or what we are doing, we must love our great motherland.

The investiture ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 AM, but before 9:00 AM, the young masters had already gathered at Taizuping.

Especially after Su Ye spread the news that Jin Yong's master Pu and his group would also be coming, many admirers arrived early. Even fans from neighboring cities set off after receiving the news. For example, many young talents from Qingdong City and Hannan City came.

Although Su Ye hasn't arrived yet, if he does, he will be surprised that the scale of this investiture ceremony has completely exceeded his expectations.

To everyone's surprise, Su Wansan not only came, but he also arrived ahead of time.

He sat on a large palanquin carried by eighteen men, wearing a long robe that looked simple from afar, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the cuffs and collar of the robe were decorated with cranes made of gold thread.

Understated luxury.

Su Wansan specially chose this outfit, which combined elegance and simplicity, so that Mr. Pu and Master Jin would both find it pleasing to the eye.

To be so devoted to one's idol is quite an effort.

The incense table and some equipment were all in place, and it was getting closer and closer to 9:00 AM, but Su Ye still hadn't shown up.

Su Wansan and many others didn't really care whether Su Ye came or not; they were all waiting for the person they wanted to see.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng, Xu An, and Li Guanyu walked out from the crowd, followed closely by four middle-aged men dressed plainly but not like entourage.

On the other side, Xiao Luomu also arrived, as did Deng Fugui and Chai Xin, all of whom bowed to Zhao Cheng from afar.

Among the crowd, Vice Minister Lu, along with his daughter and some family members, had actually arrived earlier, but since Su Ye was nowhere to be seen, he couldn't make the decision to greet either Su Wansan or Zhao Cheng on his own.

If I don't ask Su Ye for a definite answer, whose side will I be on if I freeload a meal later?

"Hasn't our little rascal arrived yet?"

As the leader of the Four Young Masters of Yanchuan, Zhao Cheng was naturally the one to preside over the speech at this event.

Upon hearing this, Su Wansan asked Su Wanyi beside him, "Brother, is this 'little rascal' referring to Xiao Ye?"

Su Wanyi muttered to himself, "Young Prime Minister, Young Marquis, Young Master... it seems the last one left is Young Master Ye."

"Nonsense! What kind of bullshit title is this? Can't he even realize he's been tricked?"

Su Wansan leaned forward, scrutinizing Zhao Cheng carefully, and said, "Is Zhao Cheng deliberately trying to mess with Xiao Ye? If so, then the arrival of Master Jin and Mr. Pu is just a pretense?"

Then, Su Wansan asked the other man beside him, "Boss Qi, you had a hangover with Master Jin, did you see him in the crowd?"

"No!" The man was fat and adorned with jewels; he looked like either a nouveau riche or a wealthy landowner.

The man continued, “Although Master Jin was a scholar, he liked to carry a sword. I have never seen anyone dressed like that.”

Su Wansan nodded, trusting Qi Yuankai's judgment.

Qi Yuankai came to talk business with Su Wansan. He said that he once had a chance encounter with Jin Yong, and the two hit it off and drank together all night. During the night, Qi Yuankai recounted his life experiences and even gave Jin Yong some creative material.

Su Wansan then brought Qi Yuankai along, thinking that having another acquaintance to lighten the mood while having dinner and chatting with Jin Yong.

Just as Su Wansan was wondering what was going on, Zhao Cheng walked over and bowed, saying, "I didn't expect that Boss Su would come to watch the fun that we juniors are having! It's truly an honor!"

"It's Zhao Cheng. How is the Right Chancellor?" Su Wansan smiled slightly.

"My dad should be back by now, but he hasn't arrived yet. I wonder where he's having fun!"

A polite greeting was enough. Su Wansan was too lazy to waste time with Zhao Cheng and asked directly, "I heard from Xiao Ye that Master Jin and Mr. Pu will also be coming today?"

"They're already here!"

"Huh??" Su Wansan sat up straight, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Where?"

Zhao Cheng pointed to the four people who had come with him and said, "Master Jin, Mr. Pu, Old Xu, and Master Yi, four renowned masters have come to show their support!"

Upon hearing this, not only was Su Wansan even more surprised, but many of their admirers who were waiting for them were also taken aback.

These four people...

It looks so ordinary!

Are they the famous figures with countless fans in Yasukuni?

Su Wansan looked incredulous and asked suspiciously, "They are?"

Zhao Cheng grinned and said, "It seems that even Boss Su judges people by their appearance! Oh well! We're just out for a stroll, we don't intend to make any new friends."

With that, Zhao Cheng turned and left.

Su Wansan jumped off the carriage without even putting on his shoes and grabbed Zhao Cheng's arm.

"Brother Zhao Cheng!! Don't be so hot-blooded! What's the point of having a face? What's the point of wearing clothes? Isn't it to give people a first impression? Even if I'm blind, that's understandable!"

"I wouldn't dare be angry even if I wanted to, considering how Boss Su called me 'brother'!"

"Haha, I'm not much older than you, bro!"

"Don't be fooled by this kid, everyone!" Qi Yuankai stepped forward and pointed at Master Jin, saying, "Whether these four are real or not, this Master Jin is definitely a fake!"
