"Thank you uncle... I thank your uncle."
Xiao Fan cursed in his heart.
When a demon infiltrates human society, he will not be so naive as to think that the other party is kind and wants to help the Tianlong Empire grow and develop.
The war between demons and humans lasted for millions of years.
This contradiction is irreconcilable.
As soon as demons appear in human society, they are basically condemned by everyone.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Although he cursed in his heart, Xiao Fan still called out respectfully.
He can see through demons, but this must not be made known to more people for the time being.
Xie Wenzhong smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, you are young and promising, with many talents. It's a pity that I don't have a daughter of the right age."
The eyes of some others lit up.
Xie Wenzhong’s family doesn’t have it, but they do.
"Xiao Xiao, Lao Xie doesn't have any at home, but I do."
"Mr. Xiao, my daughter is well-educated and well-mannered. I'd like you to get to know her then."
Several generals spoke up quickly.
Although Xiao Fan cannot practice cultivation, the abilities he has demonstrated are enough to make them want to marry their daughter to him.
It is rare to see a 20-year-old sixth-rank tutor to the crown prince.
As long as the prince ascends the throne, Xiao Fan's official position will most likely move up, and he will definitely be promoted again if he makes meritorious contributions in the future.
"My dear seniors, I have no intention of getting married for the time being."
"Thank you all for your kindness, seniors."
Xiao Fan said quickly.
Jiang Gan rolled his eyes secretly in his heart. He felt like he was being poached because Xiao Fan was the man of his granddaughter Jiang Yuli.
Deep down in his heart, Jiang Gan already regarded Xiao Fan as half his grandson-in-law.
"Okay, okay, now is not the time for you to choose a son-in-law."
"Your Majesty is still waiting."
Jiang Gan spoke, and a group of dozens of people entered the palace.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Fan and his companions entered a hall, which was where the emperor specially entertained guests.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.
Qin Zhentian arrived soon and everyone bowed to him.
Qin Zhentian smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, my lords. Today I have arranged a banquet for you to eat meat and drink wine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone said in unison again.
"Please take your seats, everyone. Today, there is no distinction between king and minister, nor between high and low ranks. Please enjoy yourself."
Qin Zhentian smiled, and all the generals took their seats. Xiao Fan was called by Jiang Gan to sit next to him, and each of them had a separate small table.
The maids came in one after another, and soon several delicious dishes were placed in front of Xiao Fan and the others, and fine wine was also served.
"Xiao Xiao, if you don't like the dish in front of you, you can ask the maid next to you to remove it and they will replace it with a new one."
"But don't change more than three dishes."
Jiang Gan conveyed the message to Xiao Fan, saying that this was Xiao Fan's first time attending such a banquet, and he needed to explain some rules to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan nodded slightly.
Each of them has four dishes in front of them. If there are more than three, it means that all the dishes will be replaced.
This is indeed not very polite.
"My dear nobles, let's celebrate!"
Qin Zhentian raised his glass and smiled.
"To Your Majesty!"
Everyone said in unison, and drank the wine in their glasses. The glasses were not big, and a glass of wine probably contained only about half a tael.
After drinking for more than thirty minutes, the atmosphere became much more lively.
Qin Zhentian looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Reader Xiao, you cured General Jiang. Now we need you to play two pieces of music for the generals. What kind of reward do you want?"
"I am in a good mood today. I can agree to any reasonable request."
Xiao Fan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, can I be promoted to the next rank? I heard that if you reach the fifth rank, you will gain the imperial fortune."
"I am interested in this."
"If I can't get promoted, then forget it. I have good food and good accommodation."
Qin Zhentian smiled and said, "You're welcome. If you advance one more level, you'll have advanced four levels in a few months."
Xiao Fan said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, if I can't get promoted, forget it."
Qin Zhentian pondered and said, "Normally, you can't be promoted any further, but you cured General Jiang, which is a great achievement."
"Besides, some of the other generals also need your help. If I don't express my gratitude, it would seem that I am too stingy."
"I will promote you to the fifth rank, but you will still be the Crown Prince's tutor and will not have any other powers. Are you willing?"
Xiao Fan quickly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Zhentian smiled and said, "He was promoted four levels in three months. In the history of our Tianlong Empire, no one has ever been promoted so quickly."
Jiang Gan said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, in the history of our Tianlong Empire, there has never been such a young Grand Master of Qin."
"Reader Xiao has broken two records."
Everyone congratulated him, and many of them wanted to have a few more drinks with Xiao Fan.
"My dear seniors, I will play two songs for you first."
"I'll drink after I finish playing. That way it won't be a problem even if I get drunk."
Xiao Fan said with a smile.
Qin Zhentian nodded.
Soon Xiao Fan took out the ancient zither Fengming from the space treasure and began to play it. Dozens of generals looked at Xiao Fan.
Qin Zhentian's eyes showed surprise.
Xiao Fan's level is extremely high.
He had known for a long time that Xiao Fan had become a grandmaster of the zither, but he had never heard of it and still had a hint of doubt about Xiao Fan's level.
"This level is probably only one step away from being a Qin Saint. The average Qin Grandmaster is much lower than Xiao Fan's level."
Qin Zhentian said in his heart.
Jiang Gan glanced over and saw that many generals were quickly immersed in it. Most of these generals were retired old generals.
The old general has experienced many battles.
