C1660 Nothing in the past
"What a pity, I heard that Patriarch Lu was generous. I thought that I would be able to witness Patriarch Lu's demeanor with the help of the ancestral milk birthday banquet."
Hong Ze said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone at the table looked at each other in dismay. They all saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
Even Patriarch Lu, who had walked to the door, stopped in his tracks. His face turned dark for a moment, then he turned around and smiled again.
"Madam's birthday, why didn't Brother Hong tell us about this earlier? In that case, even if something big happens, we have to let it go first."
As he spoke, he had already shamelessly sat back in his seat, not mentioning the matter of him leaving just now.
Hong Ze watched and did not stop him.
On the other hand, there was a table full of people. At this moment, each of them had their own thoughts and thoughts. Madam, didn't she already go? A while ago, because of this matter, the City Lord specially invited them to a feast.
Although they were puzzled, they were unable to directly ask about this matter. Fortunately, there were a few who had a good memory and suddenly realized something. They could not help but frown.
"That's not right. As far as I know, the old mistress's birthday should be a while away..."
There were only three Martial Saint warriors in the entire Hong Huo City. Therefore, there were still many people who remembered the days related to the three of them.
After being reminded by Hong Ze, all the people on the table immediately recalled their memories and looked at Hong Ze at the same time.
Hong Ze then said with a smile,
It's rare for all of you to still remember the old lady. Thank you very much."
"Since you've said that, there are some things that you should tell us. A while ago, the old mistress was seriously ill and everyone should know about it. It's just that there was not a single person who went to visit her..."
"Cough cough."
The people at the table immediately coughed dryly and their expressions were awkward.
"I was just joking." Hong Ze continued, "Fortunately, the old lady had good luck and did not go with the old master. Now that she has recovered from her illness, she hopes that the younger generation can get out of the grief of the old master as soon as possible. Only then did she think of bringing her birthday forward."
"Originally, I did not want to, but the old mistress steeled her heart, so I could not persuade her. In addition, the old mistress remembers everyone, so she asked me to inform you that when the time comes, everyone must be present."
His words seemed to be true. For a moment, the table was filled with people who were skeptical and hesitant.
Earlier, the City Lord had dared to invite them. He should have received a letter of approval. But now, Hong Ze had said so much in detail. They really could not tell what had happened to the old madam.
This matter was very important.
The grudges between the city lord and Hong family were about to be settled soon. At this time, some of their small actions might make Wuma Nann unhappy, not to mention bringing gifts to visit the Hong family.
Suddenly, someone thought of something and quickly asked:
"Sect Master of the Hong family, I still don't know what day the old madam's birthday is scheduled for."
"Two days later." Hong Ze said immediately.
The people at the table looked at each other and realized what was going on. They felt even more bitter.
Two days later, the wedding day of the city lord had collided with each other. The Hong family had made it clear that they were going to make a choice between the two parties.
No, you two big shots are fighting each other. Can you not involve us in this?
Everyone could not help but feel bitter in their hearts. However, they soon understood what was going on.
After all, this problem was not worth worrying about. Even if the old mistress was still alive and had recovered, the old master of the Hong family must have gone.
When the two of them were together, they were unable to suppress Wuma Nann. Now, there was only the old mistress left. It was obvious what to do. It wasn't difficult...
Hong Ze's expression turned cold when he saw what everyone was thinking. He said faintly, "I've said all the good things. Next, I might as well say something unpleasant."
"Humph, the old man just went to the city lord's banquet. The guests. You all seem to have gone, right?"
"Let's not talk about the past."
"Since you all have to give face to the City Lord, then our Hong family will invite you all to the banquet. You all must attend the banquet as well, so there's no harm in telling me about Ugly Face first. This time, whoever doesn't go will become the enemy of the Hong family."
Hong Ze looked around the table with a cold face.
"Everyone, please think about it. The City Lord and the Hong family will fight each other. It's not certain who will win in the end. But before that, it's hard to say. Someone has to die before my family on this table."
This was a complete threat.
Immediately, someone's facial expression changed drastically. However, not everyone was a pushover. Some people slammed the table and stood up, furiously shouting:
"Hong, don't be too presumptuous. Whether it's Wuma Nann or your Hong family, I want to see who dares to touch a hair on my Flamingo."
The person who stood up was the real owner of the flower boat, but he was actually just an employee. The influence of the Flamingo was spread all over the Upper Realm. This place was merely a branch.
Be it Wuma Nann or the Hong family, Anyone who dares to touch them must be prepared to endure the wrath that will come in the future.
It wasn't just the Flashing Flag Tower.
At that moment, some of the Patriarchs who were either from the major powers or those who had backing all had furious expressions on their faces as they resisted.
However, just one sentence from Hong Ze made them stop with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.
"People who are in a precarious situation, what do you think is there to be afraid of?" Hong Ze said calmly.
In the blink of an eye, everyone understood what he meant. They frowned and calmed down again. They felt bitter and heavy in their hearts.
That's right. Now, the Hong family might not be able to say for sure, but they would be finished in the blink of an eye. What else was there to be afraid of?
Seeing the people on the table finally hesitate, Hong Ze threw out another piece of important news.
"Actually, you don't need to hesitate. I don't mind telling you one more thing. The Hong family has already sent people over."
Over there?
For a moment, everyone looked at the direction Hong Ze was pointing at. At the same time, their faces were filled with shock and hesitation.
However, there were some who didn't believe him. They guessed that they had already discussed some things with Wuma Nann in secret. Seeing that the direction of the wind wasn't right, they felt that it was time to do something. They immediately stood up and sneered.
"Enough! They are simply full of nonsense. Do they still remember that there is a branch family like you over there? They might not even send people over. "Who would believe that?"
"From the moment I came in until now, your surname is Hong. You don't even have a single word of truth. Since that's the case, forgive this Ma for not keeping you company."
After saying that, he muttered something like "simply wasting time," while striding out of the door.
But this time, Hong Ze did not stop him. He just watched quietly.
Everyone at the table looked at Ma and made up their minds. If this person could leave, they would immediately imitate him.
Suddenly, rays of saber light penetrated through the wooden door of the room and flashed past.
The wooden door shattered in an instant.1
Martial artist Ma, a dignified Martial Sovereign, immediately had a look of disbelief in his eyes. Like a pool of soft mud, he fell to the ground in front of everyone.
The corpse was torn into pieces, not even a complete corpse.
