At this moment, Murong Jin felt a dull pain in his front teeth when he saw Su Man. He took a step back reservedly and said, "Sister Ling'er is here too. Why don't you go in? What are you doing at this door?"
Su Man glanced at the right disciple who was trying hard to reduce his presence and sighed, "It must be that I'm not standing high enough, so people are turning me away."
Murong Jin understood Su Man's implication. He glanced at the maid, who understood and put away her purse.
The disciple on the right watched the huge pile of silver passing by him, wishing he could slap himself twice, and quietly stepped aside.
...
When Su Man and Murong Jin arrived at the banquet, the room was almost full.
They were all martial artists, and their conversation was informal. The sound of conversation and clinking glasses made the place very lively.
But when Su Man and Murong Jin walked in side by side, the room gradually became quiet.
After three years, this is the first time Yan Ling'er appears in public.
The crowd was of different types, some were observing coldly, some looked disdainful, and some were ready to make a move.
Among them, Jian An, who was sitting in the third seat at the bottom, looked at Su Man with scrutiny, as if he didn't understand why the two of them came together.
Su Man met these gazes calmly and said gracefully, "Ling'er is late. I apologize to all the seniors here."
After a few seconds of silence, the Kunlun Sect's head, Sanxiao, who was the first person below the main seat, said, "I haven't seen Ling'er for three years. You've become even more beautiful. Come quickly and let Uncle Sanxiao take a look."
Su Man went over as she was told, and San Xiao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, you've grown into a big girl."
Su Man smiled and said, "Uncle Sanxiao, you are more heroic than before."
"Ahem."
A few coughs were heard from the host seat.
The man above had a fierce look on his face, a full beard, and his eyes were staring just like the bronze lion at the gate of the house.
This person is Huo Dihu, the leader of the Fire Cloud Sect. He is also the person who is most reluctant to see Yan Linger.
The feud between Huo Dihu and the Yan family can be traced back to more than 20 years ago.
Before Alliance Leader Yan participated in the martial arts conference, he was the most likely to become the alliance leader. He even regarded himself as the alliance leader before the martial arts conference ended.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Yan Alliance would appear out of nowhere and not only defeat him and take away the throne of the leader that he had been dreaming of, but also capture the heart of the girl he had a crush on.
This completely shattered Huo Dihu's young heart into powder.
After finally getting rid of Alliance Leader Yan, Yan Ling'er shows up and wants to be the leader again.
Huo Dihu felt that his horoscopes were incompatible with those of the Yan family, and nothing good would happen if they met.
...
Huo Dihu cleared his throat, interrupting the boastful old thief Sanxiao, and said seriously, "It's getting late, everyone please take a seat."
Su Man and Murong Jin sat in the two empty seats below Master Yue Yin.
Originally, Su Man thought that Master Le Yin would say something when he saw her, the daughter of an old friend, but he just looked at her with a smile and nodded continuously, which made Su Man a little confused.
At this moment, Jian Anhe, who was sitting opposite Su Man, suddenly raised his glass. "Three years ago, Alliance Leader Yan sacrificed his life for the safety of the martial arts world. Three years later, Ling'er has returned to the martial arts world. I propose that we all toast to Alliance Leader Yan."
"Well said!"
"Respect to Alliance Leader Yan."
Jian Anhe's voice was sad and her tone was passionate, which resonated with many people.
Only Su Man knew that he was reminding everyone not to forget her, the daughter of the alliance leader.
Sure enough, after drinking this cup, some of Alliance Leader Yan's supporters said, "Alliance Leader Yan chose to perish with the devil in his prime. Now that the three-year period has passed, it's time for Miss Yan to take over the leadership."
"Yes, Master Huo has worked hard over the past few years. It's time to let go of power."
“…”
The more Huo Dihu listened, the darker his face became. "Giving up power"—does that mean he's blinded by profit and unwilling to let go?
Fortunately, some of his supporters spoke out, "Alliance Leader Yan's contributions are unquestionable, and I believe everyone in the martial arts world will respect Miss Yan. However, if the Wulin Alliance Leader wants to lead the martial arts world, Miss Yan is still too young."
"Yes, this is no joke. Why not let Miss Yan follow Master Huo to gain some experience and then we can talk about it in a few years."
When her supporters heard that Yan Ling'er would be given an additional internship period as alliance leader, they were not happy and immediately retorted.
"Back then, the Wulin Conference agreed to appoint Miss Yan as the successor to the Alliance Leader. Why are you contradicting yourself now?"
"Just because Miss Yan is an orphan, do you think she can be bullied by you?"
"You are slandering me!"
"You change with the wind!"
...
The two groups started shouting as they talked, and then started arguing, turning the banquet into a debate. By the time it was over, Su Man was overwhelmed.
When she went out, Su Man instinctively walked towards the previous courtyard. It was not until she was stopped by Murong Jin that she realized that she was now Yan Ling'er, not Linlang.
"Master Huo just told me to take you to live in the courtyard next to mine."
Su Man was a little surprised. Judging from Huo Dihu's behavior, he obviously didn't like her. She didn't expect that he would arrange a room for her, which really surprised her.
On the way, perhaps because of the trauma of his childhood, Murong Jin always kept a distance from Su Man.
The atmosphere was awkward because they hadn't spoken a word. Murong Jin, who had been educated in an aristocratic family since childhood, finally spoke up. "How's Sister Ling'er doing these days?"
Su Man jokingly said, "You'll know if you take my pulse."
Murong Jin was still frightened. "Sister Ling'er, stop joking. Besides, I see you look rosy, so you must be very healthy."
