Chapter 776: Guests Are Invited to Take Their Seats
Wei Lingfeng's face turned a little red, and he touched his nose embarrassedly, and caught a glimpse of Zhan Tingbei out of the corner of his eye.
"Who is this?" His eyes darkened.
Qiao Yanmeng introduced him to Zhan Tingbei and Xiao Naituan.
Wei Lingfeng showed a look of surprise, a smile appeared on his wheat-colored face, and he took off the brooch on his chest and gave it to the little girl as a meeting gift.
"Chenchen, be good and call me uncle." Qiao Yanmeng touched the little boy's furry head.
The little kid raised his head, cried in a baby voice, and then burrowed into Zhan Tingbei's arms.
"I never thought that after not seeing her for so long, my little junior sister has already gotten married. It's really surprising." After Wei Lingfeng finished speaking, he introduced the people behind him to Qiao Yanmeng.
"These are the four deputy leaders of our Weiwu League. When you and the masters were not around, they assisted me in handling affairs. Without them, I really don't know how I would have managed to hold on alone." he said.
Several deputy leaders stepped forward one by one and greeted the three elders.
Qiao Yanmeng keenly noticed that several elders were unwilling to do so, and their eyes remained cold, while the third elder did not even raise his head.
She was thinking that these deputy leaders were most likely supported by Wei Lingfeng and were not the confidants of the three elders at all.
After the greetings, Wei Lingfeng led everyone to the manor where the Weiwu League was located. He personally drove the car for Qiao Yanmeng and several elders.
The extended business car had enough space for everyone to sit, but unfortunately, only Wei Lingfeng and Xiao Naituan were in high spirits. One of them kept asking what Qiao Yanmeng had been doing over the past year, while the other looked around the outside of the car curiously, extremely excited.
Qiao Yanmeng also looked out the car window, returning to the familiar place in her memory. To be honest, she felt a little homesick.
Wei Lingfeng had already asked someone to prepare a welcoming banquet in the banquet hall, and he welcomed everyone as the host.
"Master, please take your seats, distinguished guests." A very beautiful maid walked into the hall and spoke in a gentle tone.
Qiao Yanmeng couldn't help but frown.
How can the three elders be called "distinguished guests"? They are the masters here.
And she, she had been here for such a long time, who among those who practiced martial arts on the island didn't know her?
She is not a distinguished guest, she is going home.
"Hey, you haven't even been allowed to sit on the position of leader, but you're already acting like a show-off. You call us distinguished guests, but what are you?" The third elder snorted coldly, with dissatisfaction clearly shown on his face.
The other two also had indifferent expressions.
In the huge living room, the atmosphere froze instantly.
Wei Lingfeng glared at the maid and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Get someone else to serve you!"
The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly retreated.
"I'm sorry, masters and junior sister, she must be new and has never seen you before." Wei Lingfeng looked embarrassed and was unable to raise his head.
No one spoke.
Qiao Yanmeng couldn't bear it, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, let's eat first and fill our stomachs before we talk about other things."
She was not like some of her masters who would show their displeasure immediately. So far, she had not found anything too wrong with Wei Lingfeng.
So I plan to observe it carefully again.
If it is true as the masters say.
Then she will consider what to do next.
During the banquet, Wei Lingfeng drank three cups as punishment to apologize to everyone, but the three elders still ignored him and just sat there, making the atmosphere even more weird.
Qiao Yanmeng winked at the little girl.
Little Naitian jumped down from his seat, ran to the great elder, and asked him to help him pick up a piece of fish.
The elder's tense expression finally relaxed a little, and he picked up some fish with his chopsticks and gave it to Little Milk Ball.
"Several elders, Ling Feng was trained by you with all your efforts since he was young. We really don't understand why you are unwilling to let him succeed the position of leader. Everyone can see how capable this child is. Why don't you give it some careful consideration..."
At this time, a deputy leader sitting on the left spoke.
He had an ordinary appearance, the kind that you would not be able to find if thrown into a crowd of people, but his eyes were bright and his voice was powerful, and he was obviously a martial arts master.
Qiao Yanmeng remembered that his surname was An and he was from the An family in Continent X. He was the younger brother of the head of the An family who started from scratch and created a business empire.
His words carry a lot of weight.
"He is not suitable. How many times do we have to tell him?" The Great Elder's face darkened and his eyes suddenly pierced towards Deputy Alliance Leader An. The atmosphere instantly became stiff.
"Uncle An, let's eat first and not talk about this anymore." Wei Lingfeng forced a smile, stood up and toasted the great elder with another glass of wine.
From this angle, Qiao Yanmeng could just see the bitterness at the corner of his lips.
She couldn't help but sigh softly, wondering if he really had some difficulties.
The meal was not a pleasant one. Wei Lingfeng drank quite a lot of wine. In the end, he could hardly stand up and had to be helped into the room by his assistant.
Qiao Yanmeng was settled in the courtyard where she once lived. She took Zhan Tingbei and Xiao Naitian to visit it.
"Chenchen, look, these are the two holes that Mommy made when she was doing the horse stance."
