Chapter 157 I Really Want to Meet Them

It was a manor of such an outrageous size that it could even be called a territory.

There are many buildings and scenery in the manor.

There is a garden.

There is a small river.

There are lakes.

There is a courtyard.

There are even continuous rockery and mansions one after another.

The ceremonial carriage slowly drove into such a manor, and it was only after driving for a while that the main building was seen.

Su Ming witnessed all this with his own eyes, and he didn't know whether to curse or envy.

"In this day and age, there are still people who can build such a large manor in the base city. Am I ignorant of the happiness of the rich?"

Su Ming muttered this sentence almost unconsciously.

no way.

In this era when everything outside the base city is a dangerous wilderness and only the interior of the base city is considered safe, the land inside the base city can be said to be extremely valuable.

Some base cities are even unable to expand their land due to insufficient resources and strength, and can only expel the population that exceeds the capacity from the urban area and make them live in dangerous areas outside the urban area. These people have to worry every day about being targeted by the phantom demons in the wild as blood food.

Although Longyao City does not have to make such a difficult and cruel decision like those weak base cities, it still has a population of 60 million. If the population continues to increase in the future, there may not be enough land.

For this reason, no matter which base city it is, no matter how abundant the land is, it will implement a land-saving policy for the sake of the future and restrict the right to purchase and hold land.

The same is true for Longyao City.

But even so, there is such a manor of such an exaggerated scale here, which really opened Su Ming's eyes.

Even Yun Langyue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"As expected of a large family that has been passed down for many years. This kind of heritage is something my family can never possess."

The Base City has a very relaxed policy towards many hunter families.

Especially for a top family like the Xu family, which has been passed down for many years, not only has its bloodline always been superior, but every offspring born can also become a hunter, increasing the number of professionals in the base city and providing valuable combat power. This is undoubtedly a popular commodity in any base city.

Therefore, considering the population and contributions of the big families, the base city naturally does not mind giving them some privileges so that they can live in large lands.

The Xu family is such a family. They have many descendants, and the hunters they have trained are all excellent. The family has a large population. If Longyao City still restricts their living conditions, then there is something wrong with their brains.

Yun Langyue knew this clearly and felt inferior to him.

After all, although her family was extraordinary, they were not a family of hunters, and they didn't even have a warlock. They were just an "ordinary family". Longyao City might grant them some privileges because of their family's special nature, but they would never give up such a great authority like a long-standing large family like the Xu family.

"So, this is the Xu family's ancestral land?"

Su Ming looked at Yun Langyue.

"That's right." Yun Langyue nodded and said, "All the direct descendants of the Xu family live here for several generations, and the collateral descendants live in the other halls outside the main hall. This is where the entire Xu family gathers, including the talents recruited and secretly cultivated by the Xu family. They will all get a mansion here and live in this family land."

Not only the Xu family, but other large families also have their own clan territories, where direct descendants, collateral descendants, and even talented people who have joined the family live.

This is Xu Qianqian's home. The villa that Su Ming entered when he went to see Xu Qianqian and did business with her was just Xu Qianqian's temporary residence during her school years.

Su Ming was amazed.

"Then Xu Yanyan and Gao Xu also live here?" Su Ming said with an inexplicable smile: "I really want to meet them."

"You want to see how miserable they are now, right?" Yun Langyue exposed Su Ming's evil idea, but said nonchalantly: "I heard that Gao Xu seems to have been recovering from his injuries since he withdrew from the Huaming Campaign. Although his injuries are not serious, there is no way to treat them. He can only rely on natural healing. For this reason, he has closed the museum recently and has not seen anyone. He seems to be concentrating on recovering at home."

"As for Xu Yanyan, she is fine. I just heard that she has been training desperately recently. The intensity of the training is very high. It seems that she is being chased by something, or that she is unwilling to give up. She is trying her best to improve her strength."

Having said that, Yun Langyue glanced at Su Ming.

"Obviously, someone has had a bigger impact on them than anyone could have imagined."

Su Ming automatically ignored these words.

"It seems that I won't be able to see those two people." Su Ming said with some regret: "What a pity."

That being said, Su Ming didn't really want to have a fight with those two people.

If something is discovered accidentally, it would be more trouble than gain.

Therefore, Su Ming was just talking casually.

At this time, the limousine had already arrived at the main gate of the main hall.

Here, there is a red carpet that extends from the steps at the entrance to the inside of the gate, and actually covers the entire first-floor lobby of the main building.

The ceremonial car stopped in front of the red carpet, and the two rows of welcoming staff standing on both sides of the red carpet immediately bowed.

At the front of the reception staff, the butler who delivered the invitation letters to Su Ming and Yun Langyue was standing upright.

"Welcome Miss Yun, welcome Master Su."

The butler saluted to Su Ming and Yun Langyue who got off the ceremonial car.

Here is a detail.

The butler first bowed to Yun Langyue to express his welcome, and then bowed to Su Ming to express his welcome.

What this means is very obvious.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Xu family, the real protagonist of Xu Yongfeng's invitation this time is Yun Langyue, and Su Ming is just a supporting role.

However, it is not known whether Yun Langyue realized this or not. She stood there unmoved, saying nothing, just looking at Su Ming with a beautiful smile.

When Su Ming discovered this, he suddenly felt a headache.

This woman actually has no intention of taking the lead and pushes all the leadership to herself? This is killing people!

Unfortunately, the butler was very good at observing people's words and expressions, otherwise he would not have become Xu Yongfeng's butler and come here to welcome the guests on his behalf.

Therefore, seeing that Yun Langyue had no intention of taking the lead and instead seemed to be following Su Ming's lead, although the housekeeper had a strange look in his eyes, he still turned to Su Ming with understanding.

"Thank you for your invitation, Master Su."

The butler bowed deeply to Su Ming.

Su Ming knew that he had to speak up.

At that moment, Su Ming glared at Yun Langyue, sighed, and said something to the housekeeper.

"Where are Uncle Xu and your young lady?"

Hearing this, the butler answered truthfully.

"The second young master is waiting for you two in the reception room, and the young lady will be here later."

The butler stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please move to the living room."

After he finished speaking, the reception staff around him bowed again.

Su Ming was somewhat uncomfortable with such a big scene, so he glared at Yun Langyue again.

"What are you looking at me for, Master Su?" Yun Langyue said with a smile, as if she was a troublemaker who was eager to cause chaos in the world. "Since he has said so, let's go meet Councillor Xu."

This is simply true.

"Alas." Su Ming sighed again and said, "Then let's go."

He was too lazy to care about anything anymore.

"Come in."

While the butler was inviting people, he was also leading the way on the side, with no intention of going ahead or overstepping the mark.

Su Ming accepted his fate and was the first to take a step forward.

Yun Langyue then followed Su Ming with satisfaction, walking forward together, and even reached out and put her arm around Su Ming's arm, as if they were going to attend a high-end dance party in the upper class.

And in this situation, Su Ming would not shake off Yun Langyue's hand and embarrass her.

Therefore, Su Ming could only put on a sour face and step into the main hall of the Xu family with Yun Langyue amidst her happy expression.

Uncle Wu followed closely, but the kind expression on his face disappeared, replaced by an expressionless face, looking very much like Su Ming and Yun Langyue's follower.

In fact, the others thought so, so they did not stop Wu Bo from following.

Led by the butler, the group of three walked for about fifteen minutes before arriving at the reception room the butler mentioned.

This seemed to be a reception room specially used to entertain distinguished guests. Both the decoration and the furniture were very high-end, and you could tell at a glance that it was very expensive.

Fortunately, Su Ming had gotten used to it along the way.

Needless to say, Yun Langyue's family is probably better than anyone else in terms of wealth.

After the three of them entered the reception room, they finally met the host of the invitation.

"Second Young Master, Young Master Su and Miss Yun are here."

The butler reported respectfully to the person sitting in the main seat.

He was a middle-aged man with a square face, tall and thin, wearing formal clothes, and had a rather intimidating look without even getting angry.

Su Ming recognized the other person's identity almost instantly.

It was because Su Ming had seen the other person's face in various news reports and headlines.

"Are you here?"

Xu Yongfeng raised his eyes.

He first looked at Su Ming, examined him carefully for a while, and then looked at Yun Langyue.

Then, Xu Yongfeng turned his head and looked at Uncle Wu who was following behind Su Ming and Yun Langyue.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yongfeng's expression changed slightly.

"Who are you.?"

The second son of the Xu family, the second son of the patriarch of the Xu family, a high-ranking councilor of Longyao City, a man who holds a pivotal position in the political arena and in the Xu family, actually stood up at this moment.

Uncle Wu seemed not to have seen all this and still stood behind Su Ming and Yun Langyue like a loyal follower and bodyguard.

"What's wrong, Councillor Xu?"

Yun Langyue asked this question without any doubt on her face.

There is no doubt that she is clear.

It is clear why Xu Yongfeng behaved so out of control.

Su Ming immediately glanced at Uncle Wu who was standing behind him without leaving a trace.

Sure enough, this old man is extremely unusual.
