The car sped all the way and soon arrived at the Yunting Villa Community.

When Zhang Yuan and the other two stepped into the gate of the community, they saw an orderly and busy scene.

Liu Shengli was extremely thorough and had arranged everything here early on.

The hired cook was shuttling back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room. Several tables of sumptuous meals were ready, and the aroma filled the air, whetting people's appetite.

The entire courtyard was decorated with joy, with big red lanterns hanging high and colorful ribbons fluttering, creating a festive atmosphere everywhere.

As soon as Zhang Yuan appeared, Liu Shengli, with a face full of enthusiasm, quickly came forward with more than a dozen members of the Yin Guimen.

He smiled and said with expectation in his tone:

"Elder Zhang, you are finally back! How is it? Are you satisfied with my layout?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuan immediately gave Liu Shengli two thumbs up and praised him generously:

"Satisfied, very, very satisfied! Thank you for your hard work, Brother Shengli. I didn't expect you to be so capable. It's much faster than I thought!"

Liu Shengli heard this and laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the courtyard:

"Isn't this as it should be? Come on, let's go sit inside. I have arranged for people to greet people who will arrive later.

Those who are qualified to meet you will be brought into the house; those who are not qualified will be allowed to sit anywhere they like. "

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded:

"Okay, let's go inside and talk."

Afterwards, Zhang Yuan and Liu Shengli went upstairs together and found a seat in front of the window.

The two of them sat down, the aroma of tea wafting from the table. They sipped the tea leisurely and chatted happily, their eyes glancing out the window from time to time, always paying attention to the movements below.

At this time, Liu Shengli slightly turned sideways, facing Zhang Yuan, and reported in a low voice:

"I have notified everyone who should be notified, and now members of the Yin Gui Men are coming to celebrate for you one after another.

Everything has been done in a very secretive way. Even if that old man Hou Tiannan sees something, it doesn't matter. We have arranged everything that needs to be arranged. When the time comes, we will have to fall into his trap."

Zhang Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, a smile hidden in his eyes:

"Very good, then let's wait for Hou Tiannan to come."

Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, Hou Tiannan appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

He was seen walking into the courtyard with seven or eight men in black. The moment Hou Tiannan appeared, the eyes of the surrounding Yin Guimen members were attracted by a magnet, and they all focused on him, their eyes full of respect.

From this, it can be seen that Hou Tiannan's status in the Yin Guimen is truly respected, otherwise everyone would not have such an instinctive reaction.

Hou Tiannan looked proud, as if he was the moon surrounded by stars. He raised his hand and waved casually to everyone, nodded slightly, and then strode into the villa.

When we got to the first floor, Liu Shengli's younger brothers, who had been arranged by him, were waiting to greet us.

When everyone saw Hou Tiannan, they hurriedly saluted respectfully. One of them stepped forward with a very attentive look and asked:

"Mr. Hou, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Hou Tiannan pretended not to hear and asked directly:

"Where is Zhang Yuan? I want to go and congratulate him. Take me to see Zhang Yuan."

These younger brothers knew Hou Tiannan's temper, so they dared not stop him at all. They immediately took Hou Tiannan and quickly went upstairs.

As for Zhang Yuan, he had already noticed something as soon as Hou Tiannan stepped into the gate.

After Hou Tiannan appeared on the second floor, he and Liu Shengli waited calmly in the living room.

At the beginning of the meeting, Hou Tiannan showed no dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he smiled brightly. He took a few steps forward, handed over an exquisite mahogany box, and said in a loud voice:

"Congratulations, Elder Zhang, for becoming the deputy elder of our Yin Gui Men. I, Hou Tiannan, came specially to congratulate you. I hope you don't mind, Elder Zhang."

Zhang Yuan had a proper smile on his face, waved his hand, and spoke politely:

"Mr. Hou, it's my honor that you can come and congratulate me in person!

Don't worry, you are the benefactor who personally introduced me to the Yinuimen. Without you, I would not be where I am today.

Therefore, no matter what brilliant achievements I make in the future, I will never forget your great kindness, Mr. Hou.

Come on, come on, Mr. Hou, please take a seat. You are welcome."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan handed the mahogany box to Heitao who was standing beside him. Heitao took it steadily and put it aside. Margarina stood tall and stayed by Zhang Yuan's side the whole time.

Hou Tiannan seemed to be smiling, but he actually harbored contempt in his heart.

In his eyes, Zhang Yuan was just a young man who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. However, he thought he was great just because he was a deputy elder. But in fact, in his eyes, he was just an insignificant little character who could be controlled by him with just a flick of his finger.

Take Margarina for example. She was someone he had planted next to Zhang Yuan. With just one order from him, he could turn her into a deadly time bomb and kill Zhang Yuan without a burial place.

As for Liu Shengli, Hou Tiannan sneered at him even more, thinking that he was a guy who didn't know how to live or die and was trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands. Even if he stood on Zhang Yuan's side at this moment, what trouble could he cause?

His strength has now returned to its peak, and he doesn't take a small Liu Shengli seriously at all.

With this in mind, Hou Tiannan's attitude towards Zhang Yuan took a sharp turn for the worse in the following conversation, becoming increasingly arrogant and rude.

As soon as they sat down and hadn't even had a sip of tea, Hou Tiannan's expression changed slightly, and he said to Zhang Yuan with contempt:

"Dr. Zhang, what you did today was not honorable or wise at all. I must talk to you about this. You have to listen whether you want to or not."

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly changed, becoming as dark as ink, full of displeasure; Liu Shengli's eyes were wide open with anger, and his eyes seemed to want to stare a hole in Hou Tiannan. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was tense, like a bowstring that was stretched to the extreme.

Many members of the Yin Gui Men were also on edge, especially those standing behind Hou Tiannan. As if they had received some silent commands, they had quietly assumed fighting stances, ready to go, just waiting for the order.

Zhang Yuan tried his best to control his anger, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Hou, isn't that a bit too much?

What you said is obviously to sabotage me. I just held a meeting. What? Just because I became the deputy elder of the Yin Gui Sect, I am not worthy of meeting and getting to know everyone?

Why did you come to this point? "

Hou Tiannan laughed as if he had heard a joke, and the sarcasm in his laughter was evident:

"Dr. Zhang, you are really a young boy, without any cunning at all! So what if you become a deputy elder?

You held this meeting with great fanfare, and you got to meet everyone, but what’s the point?

What contribution have you made to the Yin Gui Men? What valuable things have you obtained?

Not at all! Not only that, but they gathered everyone together. Isn't this obviously exposing themselves?

Even though the place you found is unusual, so what?

Once our people show up, District Seven will definitely notice it. Your every move will be watched. Can you still keep your undercover identity?

So, I said, are you wrong?

Can't you reflect on your actions? Just because you're a deputy elder, you're so proud of yourself?

Do you really think you are so great? "
