This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lin Fengxue's welcome banquet in Glorious Divine Continent was indeed very interesting. The entire Glorious Divine Continent Villa District was decorated with lanterns and As soon as the convoy entered the villa area, The crackling firecrackers continued to ring, In broad daylight, there were even fireworks, Although the fireworks were bright in the gloomy weather, But it wasn't as beautiful as it was at night, The entire villa area was shrouded in the sound of firecrackers, On the largest open space in the villa area, Wearing a cheongsam, The young waiter shuttled through the room, set up the venue, Wine, food, beauty, Everywhere they looked, this scene looked very vulgar. At least it was not related to the status of the number one family in the Lin Empire in the southwest. However, there was no denying that this scene was also very lively. In the eyes of the 30 experts who had just walked out of the prison, it was simply extravagant. Everyone was dumbstruck when they saw it.

Lin Fengxue was obviously satisfied with this result. After the sound of the firecrackers stopped, she smiled. Just as she was about to speak, the door of the villa closest to the open-air venue suddenly opened. An old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old walked out directly surrounded by a large group of people.

Lin Fengxue was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over and stretched out his hands. He smiled politely and said, "Hello, Director Xu."

He laughed happily, but his stomach was filled with bitterness.

The Xu Clan of the Empire, Throughout the empire, They were all wealthy and influential families, but also belonged to the southwestern faction, One of the top clans might not be able to compare to the Lin Clan in the southwest, but their strength was not weak at all. Compared to the Sun Clan and the Xie Clan, they were not inferior at all. This was the real top clan in the empire, because Xu Shangfeng, the current leader of the southwest clan, member of the Imperial Policy Bureau Standing Committee, and director of the Imperial Spiritual Civilization Committee, was from the Xu Clan.

Another big shot of the southwestern faction, Imperial Policy Bureau Standing Committee member, Behind the president of the Imperial Political Consultative Council, Xu Dongping, But regardless of size or background, The Xu Clan behind Xu Dongping couldn't compare to the Xu Clan behind Xu Shangfeng. More often, Everyone would regard Xu Dongping's family as subordinates of the Xu Shangfeng family, In the final analysis, Or was it because of Xu Dongping's Xu Clan, The development time is too short, The development of this clan relied almost entirely on Xu Dongping's promotion. First, it was a small clan in the county, then it was a small power in the city. Zeng Ming's big clan at the provincial level slowly grew bigger after Xu Dongping became the leader of the empire. After Xu Dongping became a member of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau, the Xu Clan expanded further.

Unlike Xu Shangfeng, If his father lived until after the founding of the People's Republic, Regardless of seniority or prestige, one of the most dazzling founding fathers, Although he had died in an assassination attempt before the founding of the People's Republic, the uncles and uncles had always been extremely considerate towards Xu Shangfeng and his clan. Before Xu Shangfeng had fully developed, the Xu Clan was already considered a quasi-first-rate force in the empire. As Xu Shangfeng gradually rose up, it was entirely logical for the Xu Clan to become a wealthy clan.

And because of age, Next year, The four giants of the southwestern faction, Lin Qingtian and Xu Dongping were definitely going to retreat. Gao Changhe and Xu Shangfeng, on the other hand, would remain in office and continue to lead the southwest faction. At the same time, their positions would also change. Gao Changhe would most likely succeed Ye Nianlun , but he would not be the vice-head of the empire or the chairman or vice-chairman of the military council. Instead, he would be the first academician of the Central Academy and the principal of the Central Party School. Xu Shangfeng was very likely to succeed Zou Rente and take charge of the National Representative Assembly. Because of the normal time, he was likely to be ranked ahead of Chen Hualou in the Standing Committee, second only to Ye Nianlun .

They were all standing committee members of the Policy Bureaux. Whether Xu Shangfeng had more real power or not was not easy to compare. However, it was undeniable that he was in charge of the National Representative... With the legislative power in the hands of the General Assembly, Xu Shangfeng would definitely have more room for development in the future. This also meant that the Xu Clan would have more room for development.

Right now, the War God King's hostility towards the Lin Clan in the southwest was extremely obvious. As the royal clan gradually took control of the situation, many wealthy clans in the empire were intentionally or unintentionally squeezing the interest space of the Lin Clan in the southwest, while the Xu Clan was not disturbed. As a result, five years after Lin Qingtian's retirement, whether the Lin Clan in the southwest could still suppress the Xu Clan was a question.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Fengxue did not have to fight for the title of the number one clan in the southwest. However, the southwestern faction is now in an abnormal situation, The relationship between Xu Shangfeng and Lin Qingtian gradually grew farther and farther. The contradictions between the two sides became more and more intense because of the martial arts forces' problems, Under such circumstances, Although the Xu Clan was still in Glorious Divine Continent, it was impossible for them to advance and retreat together with the Lin Clan in the southwest, just like before. What happened above had directly caused the atmosphere in Glorious Divine Continent to be extremely subtle. At least Lin Fengxue knew that her wife, Lin Murong, had already had a few unpleasant encounters with the Xu Clan's wife.

However, no matter how dissatisfied Lin Fengxue was with the Xu Clan, she still had to maintain respect and respect when she saw Xu Shangfeng. No matter how contradictory the situation was, it still required Lin Qingtian to communicate with Xu Shangfeng. Lin Fengxue was just a lackey. How could she dare to grin when she saw Xu Shangfeng because of the contradictions? Apart from deepening the conflict between him and Lin Qingtian, it was useless.

Xu Shangfeng narrowed his eyes as he watched Lin Fengxue walk over quickly. He glanced at the lively venue with a gloomy expression. When he shook hands with Lin Fengxue, his attitude was cold. "Snowstorm, what is going on? Is anyone getting married or having a full moon?"

"No."

Lin Fengxue tried her best to keep a smile on her face and said with a smile, "A few friends have come. Let's have a lively time together."

"Lively?"

Xu Shangfeng raised his eyebrows and scolded, "This is simply nonsense. The entire villa area is noisy. Why are you setting off so many firecrackers? It's not a joyous occasion. Imperial firecrackers are restricted. You can't set off firecrackers on ordinary days. Have you forgotten?"

'"..."

It wasn't just Lin Fengxue, everyone felt strange hearing Xu Shangfeng's words.

Apart from the New Year and a few other days, the empire did prohibit the setting off of firecrackers. However, this was the Glorious Divine Continent. The one setting off firecrackers was Lin Fengxue. Which department dared to take care of such a wide range of matters? Unless you're tired of living.

But now that Xu Shangfeng had made it clear, Lin Fengxue could not emphasize her privileges. She could only admit her mistakes honestly and smiled bitterly, "Yes, Director Xu, I admit my mistakes to you. Today is just a moment of joy. It won't happen again."

Xu Shangfeng snorted coldly and his sharp eyes fell on the group of experts that Lin Fengxue had brought.

All the experts straightened their bodies subconsciously, but they did not dare to look at Xu Shangfeng.

They may not have seen much of the world a few days ago, But they knew their mission, The first time they entered the empire, they had taken the lead in understanding the nine giants of the empire. Although Xu Shangfeng's ranking was not high, he was definitely a big shot for any of them. Understanding the basic situation of those in power was the instinct of all the martial arts forces. After all, they all wanted to make the same mistake as before.

"What kind of friends are they?"

Xu Shangfeng glanced coldly at them, then looked at Lin Fengxue and asked calmly.

Lin Fengxue hesitated as she looked at Xu Shangfeng's increasingly stern gaze. She gritted her teeth and bitterly smiled, "They are all from various major martial arts forces. I..."

"Bastard!"

Xu Shangfeng was furious. "The people from the various martial arts forces can come to Nine Continents City now? It was decided at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Policy Bureau that they will not be able to regain their freedom until two months later. Furthermore, everyone is still discussing whether they can regain their freedom. You brought them here one step ahead of time? Who gave you the courage, Lin Fengxue?"

Lin Fengxue's heart was filled with anger, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

In terms of endurance, there was probably no one in the world who could endure it more than him.

"Why don't you say anything? You can solve the problem by not saying anything?"

Xu Shangfeng looked at Lin Fengxue relentlessly and his tone became even colder.

"This … I also want them to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance so that they can serve the country. Director Xu, I will restrain them and will never let them …"

"Constraint?"

Xu Shangfeng coldly snorted and interrupted Lin Fengxue, "Can you watch them 24 hours without sleeping? What's the point of your promise to me?"

Cold sweat slowly flowed down Lin Fengxue's forehead. At this time, even a fool could tell that Xu Shangfeng was furious. Otherwise, he would have to look at his master to beat a dog. In public, Xu Shangfeng had always been kind to Lin Fengxue. He scolded her in public. It could be seen how terrifying the anger in Director Xu's heart was.

However, Lin Fengxue still underestimated Xu Shangfeng's anger.

Beating a dog to see its master?

Xu Shangfeng had no intention of hitting the dog.

He coldly swept a glance at Lin Fengxue and said indifferently, "Director Lin, these people will stay here for the time being. I will return to the Hidden Dragon Sea immediately and report to the Fuehrer personally. I would like to ask why these people came to Nine Continents City early when they were supposed to stay in their own place!"

He took a few steps forward and got into a red flag car parked at the entrance of the villa. The car slowly started and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Fengxue's expression was awkward and embarrassed. She sighed and quickly took out her phone to call Lin Qingtian.

Xu Shangfeng did not intend to beat the dog, but went straight to Lin Qingtian and knocked on the door. If he did not inform Lin Qingtian of this matter in advance, he would become very passive at that time.
