It was 8 PM.
The area in front of the Haotai Hotel was filled with luxury cars.
Tonight, Master Long's apprenticeship banquet will be held here.
The apprenticeship ceremony had not yet begun, but the venue had already been decorated to resemble an apprenticeship ceremony.
A red carpet, several tens of meters long, stretched from the doorway into the banquet hall, with a pear wood armchair at the very front.
Clearly, this grand master's chair was prepared for Master Long.
At this moment, everyone was standing on both sides of the red carpet, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Master Long.
These people numbered no less than a hundred, all dressed in fine clothes and exuding arrogance.
They are all prominent figures in various circles in Guanzhong. When these people stand together, the energy they represent in Guanzhong is absolutely nuclear-level!
Among them, several individuals stand out as particularly glamorous.
In particular, a young man with bandages on his hand was surrounded by everyone, like a star being the moon.
This young man was none other than the young marquis, Xu Junwei!
Since the Xu family initiated this apprenticeship banquet, members of the Xu family must be present.
However, given Xu Chengyi's status, it was inappropriate for him to appear in person, so he sent Xu Junwei instead!
At this moment, Xu Junwei was in high spirits and spoke eloquently to everyone, "As you all know, Master Long is a top fifty expert on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, even stronger than Li Qingcang! You are fortunate enough to have a master like Master Long as your teacher! To tell you the truth, tonight, I will also formally become Master Long's disciple!"
"So, the young marquis also wants to become an apprentice?"
"Then wouldn't we be fellow disciples from now on?"
"Haha, young marquis, you'll have to look out for us from now on!"
Everyone smiled and offered their compliments.
Xu Junwei's lips curled up slightly, "Don't worry, once you become disciples of Master Long, we'll all be family, and I'll definitely protect you!"
Xu Junwei glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "I know that some of you have suffered from Zhou Xiaotian's suppression to varying degrees before! But don't worry, I assure you here that Zhou Xiaotian won't be able to cause trouble for much longer!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get agitated.
Indeed, most of those who came here today were previously close to the Martial Alliance and the Huang family. After the downfall of both families, they were also suppressed by Zhou Xiaotian. In fact, their side with the Xu family was a choice they had no other choice but to make.
Seeing Xu Junwei's confident assertion, they couldn't help but feel excited. It was as if they had seen hope again.
At this moment, Yang Xi, the Queen of Lust, was right next to Xu Junwei. She couldn't help but ask, "Young Marquis, it's said that there's a mysterious big shot behind Zhou Xiaotian. I heard that he was the one who destroyed the Martial Alliance and the Huang family. Do you know who this big shot is?"
Hearing him ask that question, everyone else also showed curious expressions.
This matter has puzzled everyone for a long time!
From beginning to end, no one could fathom the depths of that important figure!
"Uh, this..." Xu Junwei's expression immediately turned awkward.
He knew perfectly well who was behind Zhou Xiaotian.
But of course, I can't say that now!
If we tell them the truth now, there's no guarantee they won't change their minds!
So he vaguely replied, "I know this person's identity, of course. He's not some big shot; he's just a wealthy businessman from out of town!"
Yang Xi's eyes flickered. "Young Marquis, is that really the case? As far as I know, even your Xu family's business has been suppressed by them. If they were just ordinary people, how would they dare to challenge you, Marquis?"
Xu Junwei curled his lip. "It's just normal business competition, it's not suppression! My Xu family has been operating in Guanzhong for decades, do you think we're afraid of an outsider?"
"Furthermore, I might as well tell you that our Xu family is about to join the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce in Yandu! At that time, Zhou Xiaotian and the people behind him will all have to get out of the Guanzhong business community!"
"And after that, our Xu family will be reshuffled! Every single one of you present here today will enjoy this benefit! From now on, with the Xu family protecting you and Master Long escorting you, I guarantee your prosperity for three generations!"
In order to stabilize morale, Xu Junwei immediately announced this major news.
Anyway, since Prince Xi will be arriving in Guanzhong soon for an inspection, there's no harm in telling him in advance.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with excitement.
"The Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce? That's a trillion-dollar conglomerate!"
"My God, unbelievable! A chamber of commerce of this caliber would actually visit a small place like Guanzhong!"
"With the support of the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, let alone Zhou Xiaotian, even ten Zhou Xiaotians would be no match for the Xu family!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and those who had been somewhat uneasy immediately felt relieved.
After all, the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce is too famous. Looking at the national business world, it is a behemoth. With the Xu family joining the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce, the so-called sanctions from big shots are really just a tickle.
Even if the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce just stomped its feet, Zhou Xiaotian and the big shots behind him would immediately be kicked out of Guanzhong!
Yang Xi couldn't help but get excited, clenching her fists tightly.
"Zhou Xiaotian, and that Lin fellow, let's see what you're still pretending for now? You caused my brother to go to jail, you'll all suffer a terrible death!"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows was also extremely excited.
Jiang Tianming thought to himself that he had really made the right decision to come this time.
Attending this apprenticeship banquet not only allows one to become a disciple of Master Long, but also to receive benefits from the Xu family and indirectly connect with the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce.
