Translator: 54969033
âBig Brother, this is my best friend, Zhuge Shanzhen!âDeng Jia only mentioned Jiang Feiâs alias to his big brother. He did not mention his identity.
âSo, itâs brother Zhuge. Iâve heard a lot about you,âDeng Tong said.
âBrother Zhuge, this is my big brother, Deng Tong,âDeng Jia turned around and introduced Jiang Fei.
âOkay!âJiang Fei nodded slightly. His coldness made Deng Tong very unhappy. However, this was at the entrance of the clan leaderâs fatherâs mansion, so he did not flare up.
âAlright, second brother, Iâll go in First!âSeeing that Jiang Fei was not giving him face, Deng Tong immediately turned around and left. If it was not for todayâs special day, he would not have let Jiang Fei off so easily.
âHehe, Big Brother, please do as you please!âDeng 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.
âHMPH!âDeng Tong snorted coldly and walked into the door.
âBrother Zhuge, letâs go in too!âDeng Jia said to Jiang Fei.
âAlright!âJiang Fei smiled and followed Deng Jia into the Clan Leaderâs 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.
âHehe, you donât say. Itâs really lively,âJiang Fei said with a smile.
âYeah. This gathering is to prepare for the selection of the next clan leader. Therefore, basically, all the influential people in the clan have arrived,âDeng Jia said with a smile.
âWhat? Do you also want to be the clan leader?âJiang Fei was not a fool. After going through so many hardships, what was there that he did not understand?
âHehe, 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...âDeng Jia pretended to be troubled.
âHahaha...âJiang 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 Jiaâs 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 Feiâs 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.
âHehe, Kid, sure!âAfter laughing enough, Jiang Fei pointed at Deng Jia and scolded him.
âBrother Zhuge, please grant my request!âDeng Jia said sincerely.
âAlright! I will help you with this.âJiang 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.
âThank you, Brother Zhuge!âDeng Jia bowed to Jiang Fei.
âHehe, why are you saying this? We Are Friends!âJiang Fei laughed.
âThatâs right, friends! If brother Zhuge has any requests in the future, I, Deng Jia, will definitely not hesitate to do so!âDeng Jia said seriously.
âAlright, letâs not talk about this. Letâs go in!âJiang 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.
âBrother Zhuge, letâs go over there first.âDeng 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.
âSecond brother, youâre here early!âThe young man greeted Deng Jia when he saw him.
âHehe, fifth brother, youâre not late either!âDeng Jia smiled and then greeted the old man. âGreat Elder, long time no see!â
âHehe, second young master, you are so elusive. Itâs really not easy to find you!âFirst Elder said with a fake smile. He was obviously supporting his son-in-law, Deng Hong, in this clan leader election, therefore, he naturally didnât have a good attitude towards Deng Jia who was a competitor.
âHehe...âDeng Jia smiled and ignored first elder. Instead, he turned around and said to Deng Hong, âFifth brother, itâs still early. Why Donât you sit down and have a cup of tea?â
âSure. Itâs been a long time since I had a cup of tea and a chat with second brother.âDeng Hong was very close to Deng Jia.
âBy the way, second brother, who is this?âDeng Hong looked at Jiang Fei and asked.
âThis is my good friend, Brother Zhuge,âDeng Jia said.
âOh, so itâs brother Zhuge. Iâve heard so much about you!âDeng Hong said politely.
âFifth young master, youâre too kind. Iâm just a nobody.âJiang 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.
âHMPH! 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!âThe Great Elder said in his heart.
âHehe, you still want to teach me a lesson... Iâll play with you later.âJiang Fei laughed to himself. With his mind reading skill, the Great Elderâs 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, âSecond brother, itâs getting late. Letâs go over.â
âYes! Thatâs true!âDeng Jia looked at the sky outside and stood up as well.
âSecond brother, please go ahead!âDeng Hong smiled.
âOkay!âDeng Jia nodded and said to Jiang Fei, âBrother Zhuge, letâs go over first.â
âOkay!âJiang Fei stood up and followed Deng Jia out of the small hall.
âBrother Zhuge, this way please.âDeng 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.
âAre we sitting here?âJiang Fei asked with a smile.
âHehe, itâs more interesting to keep a low profile,âDeng 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 Patriarchâs father, it was obvious that he was a little proud of his fatherâs love for him.
