Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World Chapter 2140: Before Meeting

Chapter 2140: Before Meeting

Chen Feng and Zhao Hai were walking slowly, not because they didn’t want to go fast, but because they couldn’t go any faster. There were too many people on the street.
For the Long Clan, this day might be the liveliest day of the year. Even the festivities weren’t as lively as this day. This was because today was the birthday of the Clan Head.
On this day, the small city was filled with countless people. Although Chen Feng was a shopkeeper for the Long Clan, he was only one of the shopkeepers employed by the clan.
Everyone has the opportunity to meet the Clan Head and give their gifts at the same time. Then the Clan Head would ask people to arrange a seat for them. The seats weren’t decided at random. If you give an ordinary gift, then you could only sit in the few rooms outside to eat. You can only enter the main hall to meet the Clan Head, then you have to go back out.
If you present a good gift that the Clan Head liked, then he would make you dine in the main hall. This meant that you’re important to the Clan Head. This also meant that you would be promoted soon.
Chen Feng’s current position wasn’t very good. He was located close to the back. This also represented Chen Feng’s status in the Long Clan. Chen Feng was currently lining up to see the Clan head. This position in the line couldn’t be ignored. If you accidentally stand in front of someone with a higher status, then you would be suppressed by them.
The Long Clan employs a system of smooth competition. As long as it’s within the rules, they wouldn’t interfere. The only premise was that nobody damages the benefits of the Long Clan.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but admire the Clan Head of the Long Clan. Generally, the leader of huge powers wouldn’t be too strong. At least among those who surrounded them, the leaders wouldn’t be the most powerful. This was because the most powerful members of the group would hold the position of Supreme Elders. These Supreme Elders wouldn’t go out and interfere with the sect unless the Leader becomes too unruly.
The Long Clan was different. The Long Clan’s Head possessed formidable strength. Even if he wasn’t the Long Clan’s most powerful expert, he’s still one of the top powers in the Clan. He was a great expert that didn’t seclude himself and took charge of the clan to deal with worldly affairs. Such a thing sounded impossible.
But even if it sounded impossible, this was the situation in the Long Clan. The Clan Head of the Long Clan was a sturdy pillar of the family. Because of this, his birthday became a huge matter in the Long Clan.
In front of Zhao Hai was a long line. After some time, he said, “Although I haven’t joined the Long Clan, I could see from this line that the clan is very strong. And this is only the strength that they decided to show. As for how much strength they are hiding, nobody would know.”
Chen Feng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “What? You think it’s strange that you haven’t heard of the Long Clan?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “There’s a lot of things I don’t know in this world. Although I don’t know much about a hidden clan like the Long Clan, I can be sure that they must have their aces to last until now. So, I’m not surprised that I haven’t heard of them.”
Chen Feng couldn’t help but smile, “It’s best for you to think like this. We’ll be able to see the Clan Head in a moment. I’m sure you’ll be able to join the Long Clan this time.”
Zhao Hai smiled and didn’t make any noise. At this time, a cold snort was heard not far away. Zhao Hai and Chen Feng turned their heads and saw Lu Fang.
The two didn’t deliberately lower their voices when they were talking, so the people around them also heard their words. Although they felt a bit strange about the contents of their conversation, they didn’t say anything. After all, they were all members of the long Clan, they wouldn’t have second thoughts regarding the family.
However, regarding the fact that Zhao Hai could join the clan, the surrounding people weren’t so sure. Despite this, they didn’t say anything. They knew very well that if they spoke out, they would offend Chen Feng. Even those who were a bit higher in status than Chen Feng wouldn’t offend him easily. After all, Chen Feng’s influence in the Long Clan was quite substantial.
Chen Feng could still be considered as a rookie according to the Long Clan’s system. However, this rookie was very skilled. Although the gifts that Chen Feng gave to the Clan head haven’t been outstanding, the performance of his Full Moon Pavilion Branch has been constantly improving. Nobody in the Long Clan could deny it.
Because of this, plenty of people in the Long Clan favored Chen Feng. Because of this, Chen Feng had quite a few supporters in the clan. This made it hard to be in conflict with him.
It wasn’t only Zhao Hai and Chen Feng who noticed the cold snort. Everyone heard it as well. They all turned their eyes towards Lu Fang.
Lu Fang looked at Zhao Hai and Chen Feng, then he sneered, “What big words. Chen Feng, although you’re from the Long Clan, it doesn’t mean that anyone can enter the clan just because you said so. What an idiot.”
Chen Feng looked at Lu Fang, his expression was gloomy. Then he coldly snorted and said, “Lu Fang, I don’t want to fight you right now. It’s the Clan Head’s birthday, quarreling would be too embarrassing.”
Lu Fang coldly snorted and said, “Chen Feng, you’re still a coward. You can’t even retort with a few words? How did an incompetent guy like you become a shopkeeper for the Long Clan? What a disgrace.”
Chen Feng sneered, “You should worry about yourself. I heard that your store’s performance is still the same as last year’s. I can’t get such results even if I try.”
Lu Feng’s face turned green upon hearing Chen Feng. His store’s performance has stagnated for several years. He felt embarrassed every time he thought about it. Now that Chen Feng brought it out to light, it was the same as slapping him in public. If could still maintain a calm face, then he would either be a saint or an idiot.
Naturally, Lu Fang wasn’t a saint nor an idiot. He and Chen Feng were enemies. Although they haven’t reached an irreconcilable feud, there were plenty of contradictions between the two of them. This fact was known by many people in the Long Clan. It’s only because Lu Fang was a cultivator that he could suppress Chen Feng.
Chen Feng’s results had always caused Lu Fang to be jealous. Therefore, every time they see each other, sparks will always appear.
As soon as the surrounding people heard the opposition from the two sides, they couldn’t help but smile. Naturally, there was no politeness between the two. But comparing the two, it seemed like Chen Feng was more imposing than Lu Fang.
However, just as Chen Feng said, this was Coiling Dragon City, the territory of the Long Clan. If they caused trouble here, the Long Clan wouldn’t take it lightly. So, everyone chose to behave.
Zhao Hai didn’t join in on the fight. He just glanced at Lu Fang and treated him as air. In the eyes of other people, it might be as simple as choosing to stand on the sidelines. Chen Feng and Lu Fang’s quarrel was because of him. His silence made other people look down on him a bit.
But only those who were near Zhao Hai understood Zhao Hai’s inaction. Since they were so close to Zhao Hai, they could see the expression on his face and the look in his eyes.
Zhao Hai didn’t quarrel with Lu Fang not because he was afraid of him, but because there was no need for it. In other words, Zhao Hai didn’t put Lu Fang in his eyes. To him, Lu Fang was too small to be treated as an enemy.
Those who saw Zhao Hai’s expression closely understood that Zhao Hai didn’t treat Lu Fang seriously at all. From what they could see, Zhao Hai didn’t think that Lu Fang deserved to be his enemy. He was just like a king who wouldn’t bother punishing a beggar who slandered him. This also showed the gap between the two.
Chen Feng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “You aren’t angry?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need. The results will prove everything.” At this time, the group began to move slowly forward. Besides those who had status and could talk to the Clan head, the rest could only go in, give their gifts, and then leave. They almost couldn’t say anything to the Clan Head. Therefore, the speed of the line wasn’t slow.
Everyone didn’t carry anything at this moment. They wouldn’t show their gifts until they were in front of the Clan Head. The only way for the people to know what gifts the others gave was from the location of their seats.
Time passed little by little. At around 10 am, Chen Fen finally arrived at the door of the main mansion. The main mansion could no longer be regarded as a mansion, it was practically a huge palatial complex. Naturally, this complex wasn’t the same as the ones used by secular kings. Although the hall also had a throne for the Clan Head, there were no eunuchs, only serving maids.
There were also a lot of people living in the mansion. Some of them were Supreme Elders of the Clan while the others were important descendants. It can be said that the people living in the mansion were the core strength of the Long Clan.
Those who want to meet the Clan Head need to wait in front of the mansion door. Once the previous person had finished their meeting with the Clan Head, the next person would enter.
Chen Feng was currently right in front of the mansion’s door. In other words, as long as the previous person was finished giving their gift, it would be Chen Feng’s turn.
People like Chen Feng can bring another person with him when he goes to the mansion. However, the other person could only wait outside while Chen Feng presents his gift. If Chen Feng’s gift was appreciated by the Clan head, then he could stay in the main hall to eat. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai would also be placed in a good position. If Chen Feng’s gift was average, Zhao Hai could only be placed on a corner to eat. The Long Clan had always done things like this.
