C1554 We've Met Before!
It was an invitation, and on the top of the invitation was written three large words, and the official figures of the invitation were Zhou Yan's parents, sister Zhou Ying, and Zhou Qian.
"Zhou Ying's brother, Zhou Ying, have we met before?"
Zhou Yan frowned as he felt suspicious in his heart.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find any clues. So he shook his head, put away the invitation, and said to the guard: "I understand. Tell your patriarch that Zhou Yan accepted the invitation."
He did not immediately agree. Instead, he pretended to think for a moment before deciding to participate in this banquet.
After the guard heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he said: "Young Master Zhou Yan, then you should rest first. We will go and report it immediately."
"En, you can go. Don't disturb the other guests."
Zhou Yan said indifferently, and then sat back down.
When the guard heard this, the expression on his face immediately stiffened for a moment, and then he turned around and left.
Zhou Yan ignored him and focused his attention on the invitation card in his hand.
"Invitation card? Hehe, I want to see what exactly happened."
With a cold laugh, he tore the invitation card in his hand into pieces and disappeared into the air.
On the other side.
When the referees returned, the news of Zhou Yan tearing up the invitation card had also spread throughout the entire competition arena.
"What? That Zhou Yan actually tore up the Patriarch's invitation card?"
"This brat is too bold. Who does he think he is, to actually dare to tear up the Patriarch's invitation?"
"This brat definitely won't live another day!"
Hearing Zhou Yan tear up the Patriarch's invitation, many people could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Zhou Yan was not only a Soul Master, but also an existence at the Spirit King Realm. If he really tore up the Patriarch's invitation, how could the Patriarch forgive him so easily?
Many people were mourning for Zhou Yan.
On the other side, in a luxurious courtyard.
Zhou Yan's father, Zhou Hong, was standing in the middle of the courtyard. He looked at the surrounding servants and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Patriarch?"
"The Patriarch is in seclusion. He just woke up not long ago."
A servant lowered his head and said carefully, sighing in his heart.
It was only a matter of time before the head of the clan broke through. No matter which genius it was, when the head of the clan broke through, he would never be able to keep his cultivation stable. Besides, the head of the clan would enter a new level.
Therefore, the Head of the Clan had a seventy percent chance of winning or even higher.
"Humph! That little bastard Zhou Yan also wants to compete with me for the position of Patriarch. I want to see how long he can last."
Zhou Hong snorted coldly. However, a strong sense of wariness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Father, what do you plan to do next?"
A woman walked over and looked at him. There was some worry in her beautiful eyes.
As soon as Zhou Hong heard this, a ferocious look appeared in his eyes: "Since he doesn't want to hand over the spiritual core, then I will make him disappear from this world forever. I want to see who will be able to protect him then!"
After the woman heard this, she instantly let out a sigh of relief.
She didn't want the Patriarch to fall out with Zhou Yan either.
"Oh right, did you see Zhou Ying's sister, Zhou Qian?"
"Reporting to the Patriarch, I did not see her."
Zhou Hong frowned, "Did they not come back together? I don't know where that girl went."
"Master, don't worry. Zhou Ying and Zhou Qian are quite strong. They must have gone out to explore."
An elder on the side said respectfully.
Hearing this, Zhou Hong's brows relaxed a little, and then he said, "Forget it, as long as they are all right. If they are in danger, we will send more people to help them, and hope that they can return safely."
"Yes, Master."
The elder respectfully replied after hearing that.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Zhou Hong waved his hand.
"Yes, Master."
Yes, Patriarch. The servants bowed and left.
...
Within the Zhou Family mansion:
"Patriarch, Zhou Yan has already agreed to come to our family for an appointment, and he will lead the Zhou Family's Elite to resist those foreign forces together."
"Alright!"
A slightly aged but extremely dignified voice sounded out, causing the hearts of everyone in the surroundings to tremble as they hurriedly lowered their heads.
...
Zhou Yan stayed in the family for the night. The next morning, he was woken up by a steward.
"Young Master Zhou Yan, our Patriarch invites you to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the north of the city."
Zhou Yan nodded his head, then got up and put on his clothes.
After getting dressed, he walked out of the room and arrived outside the mansion. He then asked the steward, "May I ask if there are any good restaurants nearby?"
"Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the north of the city."
"Okay, thank you."
Zhou Yan cupped his hands and smiled, then flew out.
But he did not have to fly for very long before he arrived at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion north of the city. At this moment, there were already many Zhou Clan disciples gathered in front of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, all of them passionately staring at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Although they were not direct descendants of the Zhou family, because they were not part of the Zhou family, they could participate in the various martial arts competitions of the Zhou family, so they cherished this opportunity very much.
"Eh? That brat came?"2
"It seems like he's also interested in this martial arts competition, hehe..."
"Then we have to seize the opportunity to make that little bastard lose completely!"
Zhou Yan's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people. After that, some people began to discuss with faces full of schadenfreude.
Zhou Yan naturally heard these discussions as well. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bewitching smile. Then, he raised his foot and walked straight into the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
He wanted to see what kind of courage these people had to mock and insult him.
"Humph! All of you shut up. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhou Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks, then turned his head and looked at everyone with ice-cold eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, causing everyone's heart to palpitate.
"Young Master Zhou Yan, don't misunderstand. We just feel that you are still young and I'm afraid that you won't be able to control the strength of our Zhou Family. So, we specially advised the Patriarch to not underestimate your enemy and to be careful."
"That's right, Young Master Zhou Yan, don't blame us as subordinates. After all, we were only following orders. I hope you don't mind."
... ""
Seeing that, the surrounding people immediately explained.
However, Zhou Yan did not buy it at all. Instead, he shouted coldly, "All of you, scram! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"This..."
When everyone heard Zhou Yan's words, their expressions immediately turned ugly.
