Chapter 269: The Hongmen Banquet
Although Baili Qi said that tonight's dinner was just a simple family dinner, all the elders who had a say in Wuji Continent were present.
This was undoubtedly a Hongmen Banquet set up for the two 'new sons-in-law', in order to keep Luo Yunyan and Jiang Yining in good stead and highlight the importance that Wujizhou attached to them.
At the same time, it also allowed Gu Shilin and others to feel more intuitively how many powerful people there are in this legendary Wuji Continent, where many bigwigs gather.
Their understanding of the continent master Baili Qi is limited to knowing that he is a psychic.
But the person who can become the ruler of Wuji Continent cannot possibly be such a simple character.
The aura he exudes is simply incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Even Gu Shilin believed that he could only remain calm in front of him, and had not reached his level.
Or to put it more bluntly, the only people in China who have the aura to rival his are probably the old men in their family and the top figures in another circle.
Moreover, Baili Qi is only in his early fifties now, about the same age as their father.
Dads: ...What's your point? A mixture of sarcasm and ridicule? Fifty is the perfect age to strive for success, right? Why don't you just get a new dad?
Not to mention Aunt Dao, the number one female killer Luosha who made many people shudder at the time, there is also Hua Niang, the world's number one poison master who has always been imitated but never surpassed.
Hua Niang: Although I have long since left the martial arts world, my legend is still circulating in the martial arts world~
There are also those killers, thieves, hackers, mercenaries, sharpshooters, and top agents who were once famous on various international lists...
These people have one thing in common - they all carry several wanted warrants and high-value bounties on the black network.
In addition, they also met Jiang Yining's master, a man in his sixties.
He was also a ghost doctor who had disappeared from the international scene for nearly 20 years and should have died accidentally.
If Baizhu is the miracle doctor who has become famous in recent years, then the ghost doctor was a nearly god-like existence back then.
It is said that he can bring people back to life and turn flesh into bones, and there is no difficult disease in the world that he cannot cure.
There is a saying circulating internationally until now: If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, the ghost doctor will say: I just won’t allow it.
As soon as the ghost doctor's sudden death was exposed, it caused a huge uproar. Many powerful patients he had treated used their connections to find out whether it was true or not.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will be free of illness and pain throughout their lives. The existence of ghost doctors undoubtedly gives them reassurance.
As long as their family does not go bankrupt and they have the money and attitude, they don't need to worry that one day they will not live long even if they are rich and powerful.
Later they found out that the ghost doctor seemed to have died accidentally because he refused to treat the head of a powerful family.
So much so that they all started to deal with that noble family at the same time. Of course, they did not do so specifically to avenge the ghost doctor, but simply to vent their anger and expand the family business.
But it was also because of this that the family was completely finished before the person in charge of the family even died.
Of course, they had no way of knowing what the truth of the matter was.
After all, they were still young when these things happened, and some of them had not even come into this world, so these were just rumors they heard internationally.
But no matter what, the ghost doctor who should have turned into a skeleton long ago "came back to life" and has been living in Wuji Continent all these years. Now he is even eating at the same table with them. This is something they had never expected.
Every person sitting at this long table would be an important figure that everyone would want to recruit and rely on.
Perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Wujizhou wants, it would be easy for them to establish a new Z power or G family.
…
The family dinner lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening.
After the group of old men and women left, Luo Yunyan pulled Gu Shilin across the courtyard and went up to the top floor of her residence.
This is the highest point except for the back mountain. Standing here, you can overlook the entire Wuji Continent.
Luo Yunyan sat down directly on the extremely conspicuous giant tire swing next to her, and did not forget to pat the place next to her.
"Jiaojiao, come and sit down. The backrest here is not very comfortable."
A hint of indulgence flashed in Gu Shilin's eyes, and he obediently sat next to her, acting as a human cushion for her.
Ever since he got the nickname "Gu Jiaojiao" last time, Luo Yunyan has been calling him that in private, and Mr. Gu and Da Piaoliang are only used to address outsiders.
What could he do? Just accept it, since he was the one who agreed to it first.
Luo Yunyan found a comfortable position and nestled in the man's arms, looking at the scenery in the distance.
"How's it going? My view from here is pretty good, right?"
"Indeed, the view is very broad and the scenery is beautiful." Gu Shilin said in agreement.
On one side is an antique Chinese garden, which appears particularly gentle and peaceful under the interplay of lights and moonlight, like a quiet ancient painting.
On the other side is a training ground and office area filled with a modern and technological atmosphere. At this point, except for those on duty, everyone has gone back to rest, but the area is still as bright as day.
Two completely different scenes appear within the field of vision at the same time, which not only does not make people feel contradictory, but rather creates an inexplicable harmony.
Moreover, Gu Shilin discovered that the climate in Wujizhou was very pleasant after getting off the plane.
Perhaps because of the formation, the temperature here has always been neither too hot nor too cold, and the human body will not feel uncomfortable due to temperature changes.
"Of course I did. I had my eye on this piece of land long ago, so I completed several A-rank missions before I finally got the ownership from the old man. I even drew the blueprints for this house myself."
Luo Yunyan curled her lips and pointed to a building in the other direction.
"The old man actually gave me that yard in the beginning. It was actually quite nice, but I just didn't like it. So I only lived there for a while while it was still under construction, and then it just sat there vacant. But as it turned out, I had better taste."
"The young master must have excellent taste, for example, when it comes to choosing men." Gu Shilin put his big hand on her waist and teased.
Luo Yunyan rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Are you the reincarnation of Wang Po? You're bragging about yourself, Gu Po?"
