Translator: 549690339
“Big Brother, this is my best friend, Zhuge Shanzhen!”Deng Jia only mentioned Jiang Fei’s alias to his big brother. He did not mention his identity.
“So, it’s brother Zhuge. I’ve heard a lot about you,”Deng Tong said.
“Brother Zhuge, this is my big brother, Deng Tong,”Deng Jia turned around and introduced Jiang Fei.
“Okay!”Jiang Fei nodded slightly. His coldness made Deng Tong very unhappy. However, this was at the entrance of the clan leader’s father’s mansion, so he did not flare up.
“Alright, second brother, I’ll go in First!”Seeing that Jiang Fei was not giving him face, Deng Tong immediately turned around and left. If it was not for today’s special day, he would not have let Jiang Fei off so easily.
“Hehe, Big Brother, please do as you please!”Deng Jia smiled slightly. He did not care about the relationship between his big brother and Jiang Fei. He even hoped that this day would come. Anyway, as long as Jiang Fei supported him, it would be enough.
“HMPH!”Deng Tong snorted coldly and walked into the door.
“Brother Zhuge, let’s go in too!”Deng Jia said to Jiang Fei.
“Alright!”Jiang Fei smiled and followed Deng Jia into the Clan Leader’s mansion.
After entering the mansion, Jiang Fei realized that there were already quite a number of people inside. Almost all the experts of the Water Panther clan had arrived.
“Hehe, you don’t say. It’s really lively,”Jiang Fei said with a smile.
“Yeah. This gathering is to prepare for the selection of the next clan leader. Therefore, basically, all the influential people in the clan have arrived,”Deng Jia said with a smile.
“What? Do you also want to be the clan leader?”Jiang Fei was not a fool. After going through so many hardships, what was there that he did not understand?
“Hehe, I am dissatisfied with brother Zhuge. I do have the intention to participate in the selection, but unfortunately, I am not strong and I do not have any influence…”Deng Jia pretended to be troubled.
“Hahaha…”Jiang Fei laughed. How could he not know what Deng Jia was up to? This kid must have known his identity long ago. Otherwise, he would not have fawned on him so much. He must have been so passionate towards Jiang Fei previously because of his emotional investment?
However, even though he had seen through Deng Jia’s intentions, Jiang Fei did not get angry. Because everything that Deng Jia had done was fair and square. Could it be wrong to say that he treated Jiang Fei well and was passionate towards him?
Moreover, Deng Jia had never asked for Jiang Fei’s help. Even if Jiang Fei did not help him, he would never complain. Deng Jia was playing a favor. He was certain that Jiang Fei would not ignore him.
“Hehe, Kid, sure!”After laughing enough, Jiang Fei pointed at Deng Jia and scolded him.
“Brother Zhuge, please grant my request!”Deng Jia said sincerely.
“Alright! I will help you with this.”Jiang Fei nodded. He did not need to do anything specific to help Deng Jia. All he needed to do was to reveal his identity when the time came.
“Thank you, Brother Zhuge!”Deng Jia bowed to Jiang Fei.
“Hehe, why are you saying this? We Are Friends!”Jiang Fei laughed.
“That’s right, friends! If brother Zhuge has any requests in the future, I, Deng Jia, will definitely not hesitate to do so!”Deng Jia said seriously.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s go in!”Jiang Fei smiled and walked in.
After passing through three courtyards, Jiang Fei and Deng Jia arrived at the garden where the banquet was held. There were already nearly a hundred tables. There were cups and plates on them. The only thing that was missing was the dishes. Moreover, many of the tables were filled with people, however, these people who came first were obviously of lower status. They came in to accompany Jiang Fei.
“Brother Zhuge, let’s go over there first.”Deng Jia brought Jiang Fei to the small hall next door to drink tea. Although some of the people had already taken their seats in the garden, it was obvious that the main characters would not show up so early.
After a while, a few more people came into the small hall. The leader was a young man with an old man beside him.
“Second brother, you’re here early!”The young man greeted Deng Jia when he saw him.
“Hehe, fifth brother, you’re not late either!”Deng Jia smiled and then greeted the old man. “Great Elder, long time no see!”
“Hehe, second young master, you are so elusive. It’s really not easy to find you!”First Elder said with a fake smile. He was obviously supporting his son-in-law, Deng Hong, in this clan leader election, therefore, he naturally didn’t have a good attitude towards Deng Jia who was a competitor.
“Hehe…”Deng Jia smiled and ignored first elder. Instead, he turned around and said to Deng Hong, “Fifth brother, it’s still early. Why Don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea?”
“Sure. It’s been a long time since I had a cup of tea and a chat with second brother.”Deng Hong was very close to Deng Jia.
“By the way, second brother, who is this?”Deng Hong looked at Jiang Fei and asked.
“This is my good friend, Brother Zhuge,”Deng Jia said.
“Oh, so it’s brother Zhuge. I’ve heard so much about you!”Deng Hong said politely.
“Fifth young master, you’re too kind. I’m just a nobody.”Jiang Fei smiled and continued to drink his tea. It was obvious that he was not interested in these people.
Deng Hong tried to probe Jiang Fei a little more. However, he realized that Jiang Fei did not care about him. Therefore, he did not want to embarrass himself anymore. On the contrary, when the great elder saw that Jiang Fei did not give face to his son-in-law, he was very unhappy.
“HMPH! An outsider is so arrogant in our dustwater leopard clan. After this election is over, when my son-in-law becomes the clan leader, I will teach you guys a lesson!”The Great Elder said in his heart.
“Hehe, you still want to teach me a lesson… I’ll play with you later.”Jiang Fei laughed to himself. With his mind reading skill, the Great Elder’s thoughts could not be hidden from him.
In about an hour and a half, the guests in the garden had almost arrived. At that moment, Deng Hong stood up and said, “Second brother, it’s getting late. Let’s go over.”
“Yes! That’s true!”Deng Jia looked at the sky outside and stood up as well.
“Second brother, please go ahead!”Deng Hong smiled.
“Okay!”Deng Jia nodded and said to Jiang Fei, “Brother Zhuge, let’s go over first.”
“Okay!”Jiang Fei stood up and followed Deng Jia out of the small hall.
“Brother Zhuge, this way please.”Deng Jia brought Jiang Fei to the main table. At that moment, his eldest brother, Deng Tong, was already seated, while Deng Jia brought Jiang Fei to sit at the end of the table.
“Are we sitting here?”Jiang Fei asked with a smile.
“Hehe, it’s more interesting to keep a low profile,”Deng Jia said with a smile. He wanted to make a name for himself, so he took the initiative to sit at the end. Otherwise, with his status as the second young master, he would definitely be able to sit at the front.
Not long after Jiang Fei and the others sat down, the third young master, Deng Yuan, also came over with a few people. He did not stand on ceremony and directly sat at the side of the main table, relying on the doting of the Patriarch’s father, it was obvious that he was a little proud of his father’s love for him.
